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.

    Play Grealish (shu) or Aurier (wol)?

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tough. No one else you can bench ?

  2. MC Hammer
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Greenwood -> Rashford
    Would you say this is too sideways?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Lol

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years

      Haha

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Is that Ron Greenwood?

    4. FirMinaMiMo
      • 4 Years

      Haha!

    5. Magic Zico

      Keep Greenwood season keeper

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Bench keeper you should say

    6. 7shadesofsmoke

      No way, Greenwood was the first name on my team sheet in GW1 and he has been ever since.

  3. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How does this lot look ??

    When should I be playing my WC ??

    Henderson
    TAA Soyuncu Chilwell
    Mane KDB Alli Mount
    Jimenez Vardy Tammy

    Button Lundstram Rico Dendoncker

    0FT, 0.2itb

    Thanks.

      WC? what do you plan to achieve by WC? Would love to see your WC team...

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Oh I know I’m not going to wildcard yet but curious when a good time is to do so, when are people who still have them planning on it before it expires?

    2. FirMinaMiMo
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Keep one pool player because of rotation over nxt week.And i fell into that trap 🙁

    3. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      definitely WC time...

      1. FirMinaMiMo
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Let's decide later 🙂

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing wrong with that team - save your WC until later

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ah yeah I’m happy enough with the team, although GW18 looks tough...

        Do you still have yours intact, and if so when are you planning to use it?

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I really wish I did - you have shown admirable restraint in the WC department. I think that your gut will tell you when it's right to use it. Don't forget that loads of others will be in the same GW18 dilemma so no need to WC just because of that.

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Very true, players playing each other... thanks mate appreciate the response has put my mind at rest

  4. PapaWengzz
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Surprised to see Mane less than half % of Vardy In the (c) poll. Great fixture, had his rest, I'm probably captaining.

    1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Early kick off is the only reason makes me not to put c on Mane, that psychological thing when your cap plays late as possible....

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Last season Early kickoff TC comes to mind when Salah got 19 and Mane 13.

        1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Last season the very last gw I tc Mane..

          1. PapaWengzz
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Also the game is literally just 2 hours before Vardys game

            1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Both Mane and vardy are good shout..If we captain mane and if he blanks,then imagine the tension when Leicester plays Norwich at home..on the flip side of mane score points,then we have a hope that vardy outscores..again these are all just psychological things attest for me i should say..

        2. jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Zaha - Monday football...carry the hope til the end 😉

          1. PapaWengzz
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Who's your c this week?

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              havent decided yet but, after getting a rank hammering in recent GWs, I might play safe with Vardy this week to steady my ship!

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy is relentless

      Mane is a great option tho

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        True, but manes % is just over a third of vardys. Landslide

        1. Kryptonite666
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Norwich are defensively worse than Watford. Perhaps that explains it plus Vardy’s form is insane.

  5. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which transfer should pay off long term?

    A) Maddy to Son

    B) KDB to Son

    C) Neither

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tough. I have all 3 so I’m biased.

  6. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Good Morning mates
    Patricio
    Soy Lund Kelly (Rico-Williams)
    Mané Alli Madd Pulisic (Dendo*)
    Vardy Auba Kane
    1FT 0 M
    A- Patricio> Guita
    B- other transfer

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t fancy Rashford over Aubs ?

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Still think about that but i don't like Rash :/

  7. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Should I sell TAA for Kelly/Cahill after the Watford match? Fixtures not favourable for clean sheets, and i got a bad defensive line for gw18...

    Soyuncu (mci)
    Rico (BUR)
    Lundstram (bha)
    Aurier (CHE)

    Cant see any clean sheets from here.

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I’m doing the same to fund Rashford move.

  8. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Guys when will be the yellow expiring date?

    1. PapaWengzz
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      After gw19

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not strictly true, it's when a player has played 19 games

        1. PapaWengzz
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          True. So not for pool and whu

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            It's not just them, a player may have been benched twice and so only played 17 games by gw19

            1. PapaWengzz
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              So does being in the matchday squad and not coming off the bench count as a game played? Or do you have to be out of the matchday squad altogether?

              1. Wild Rover
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Good question. I have no idea but as you can get booked on the bench I'm guessing that would count

            2. JJO
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Dont think this is true

              1. 7shadesofsmoke
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                don't think, act.

              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              19 club games regardless.

              1. PapaWengzz
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Thought so...

              2. Wild Rover
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Ah right, so even if not in the squad. Makes sense as it would be hard to police otherwise

      Mount and Lund unless you think Kelly gets a CS.

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

    4. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Haven't made a decision yet Bobby but thank you for your help. And BB is verrrry tempting but i think i'm TC Mane instead. Mount and Lund are in. I was leaning towards that anyway thank you TM.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Expect at least one of those back this GW

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years

        Ok. Hope So.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        With 4 yellows with good fixtures and a struggling defense; is Grealish a trap?

  17. Lignja

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pope
    Soyuncu, Lundstram, Kelly
    Mane, Kdb, Son, Pulisic
