Scoutcast crew discuss how to handle Man City assets and Harry Kane

The Scoutcast crew have some important issues to discuss ahead of Gameweek 17.

The latest episode will broadcast from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT on our YouTube channel.

Manchester City players are starting to wane in terms of popularity but with a trip to Arsenal on Sunday, there’s every chance they punish their sellers.

With very few of Pep Guardiola’s assets offering appeal right now, we sift through some of the strategies around them.

Joe is joined by David and Karam for the latest episode to talk about Manchester City.

Also on the agenda is what to do about Harry Kane (£10.9m), who flattered to deceive in the early games of Jose Mourinho’s Spurs reign, but exploded against Burnley.

Finally, we will discuss how best to approach Gameweek 18 when Liverpool and West Ham experience a blank thanks to the Club World Cup.

    Is a Zaha for Ali transfer worth it ??

      Because Ali has Wolves and Chelsea where Zaha has Newcastle and Brighton

          Usually Wolves don’t concede lots of goals in one match and Zaha is definetly due.

      These 'a for b' statements annoy me in gaming . You always have to clarify what way round they mean. Alli is better but costs more, so it is all about opportunity cost.

    Have a strong feeling Mourunho will go for Michail Antonio in January.

    He's a very direct right winger who could be great utility player to slot in for likes of Moura. He will offer more going forward than current back Sissoko

    Antonio stats past 4 seasons

    2018-19 / 21 pl starts / 6 goals 4 assists

    2016-17 / 27 pl starts / 9 goals 8 assists

    2015-16 / 24 pl starts / 8 goal 7 assists

    Excluded 2017-18 as all his returns were as subs. Thoughts?

      Not a chance, Mourinho already said he doesn’t see Sissoko as a central midfielder so he’ll eventually be playing right wing, I think a new central midfielder will be targeted in January

    Heaton

    Morning all

    Not quite sure who to bench and if I need a transfer

    Pope (Button)
    Chilwell Soy Kelly Rico Lundstram
    Mane KDB Pulisic Cantwell Son
    Jiménez Vardy Ings

    I could bench Soy but they’ve got a good chance of a double CS which means on form it’s KDB or Pulisic!

    Any thoughts or obvious transfers?

      I would spread the risk and bench Soy.

    I have
    Button 4 | Schmeichel 5.4 |
    Van Aanholt 5.5 | Söyüncü 5.1 | Robertson 7.1 | Alexander-Arnold 7.3 | Lundstram 5.1|
    Mané 12.3 | Cantwell 4.7 | Fleck 4.9 | Son 10 | Alli 8.7 |
    Mousset 5.1 | Vardy 10.1 | Ings 6.3 |

    With 0.4 left

    1. Thinking to Swap Van Aanholt with team mate Kelly ( Should have done a long back need to take hit of his price increase now)
    2. Is it good Idea to keep Fleck or swap him with money freed for Kelly to buy some decent option. Thinking of McSauce / James / Kovacic or taking risk with Shelvey & Traore (wolves)

    Keep Hendo or Gaz? Have Lund... If I keep Gaz then I might consider TAA to Baldock next week to help fund Connolly upgrade. Sound good?

        Not a bad idea tbf, would cost 0.4 more though atm and Gaz does make more saves then Hendo. Hmmm, food for thought

          I feel Aurier will be a top value pick in coming weeks - Jose will make them solid plus plenty of attacking potential
