Scoutcast team discuss future of Vardy party and Double Gameweek 24

Join us for the latest episode of the Scoutcast on our YouTube channel tonight.

We will be live from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT discussing the latest hot topics in Fantasy Premier League.

Joe will be joined by both halves of FPL Family Sam and Lee ahead of Gameweeks 23 and 24.

Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) is the player up for discussion after he was restricted to no shots in the box against Southampton.

Meanwhile, Southampton and Watford threaten to dethrone Wolves and Aston Villa as the home of mid-price and budget differentials.

Finally, with Double Gameweek 24 around the corner, Joe, Lee and Sam debate which three Liverpool players should be in our squads.

    Lascelles starts! I bought him yesterday with flag and injured 🙂 What a steal for 4.2

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

      For .2 less you could have Williams 🙂

      1. Jebiga
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        United? Shete and short term 🙂

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Have bought 3 Newcastle defenders this season lascelles Clark and Willems and each single.one of them got injured the week I bought them. Definitely not getting another one 🙂

      1. Jebiga
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe now is the time 🙂

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          They actually have some very decent fixtures long-term!

          But I don’t know if Newcastle can be trusted..!

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Interesting. Was looking at Williams as a Rico replacement, primarily for GW24, but longer term Newcastle definitely have the better fixtures.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Selling for Stephens

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yay

  2. Rash
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Some advice on where I can improve this team? 

    Schmeichel 
    Trent sidibe dunk 
    Kdb maddison mane grealish Salah 
    Vardy ings 

    Button greenwood lundy Williams 

    2ft .5itb

    Could do something like; grealish maddison to mahrez doucoure but probs very knee jerky

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

      Or same 2 out for mahrez cantwell

      1. KunDogan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I would keep that midfield u have now

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Strong team, no pressing issues

    3. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      How about just Maddison to Richarlison and save a FT? Take him on a streak while you can.

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

        Cant afford due to madds sell price of 7.4

    4. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Difficult to think of anything other than Button to Martin or McCarthy, and even that would be mostly for bench boost.

      Maddison to Richarlison is an option though. Burnley fixture for LEI seems promising, but West Ham seems to be even more of a mess currently?

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

        My thinking is, mahrez in great form and cantwell will be a great 1 week punt enabler who I can then bench.

        1. Karhumies
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Sounds good as long as Mahrez starts.

    Want tripple Pool for DGW24. What to do here?

    Fabianski* Button
    TAA Soyuncu Willems Montoya Lundstram
    Mané KDB Maddison Traore Cantwell
    Vardy Rashford Abraham

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Get Salah or VVD.

  4. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone with me on this? I get why some may want a double Liverpool attacker for GW24, but for the long term surely this is not the most optimal scenario.

    The likelihood of a balanced squad with KDB, Salah and Mane is slim, and unnecessary if you realise that if you want to captain a Liverpool attacker
    it will always be Salah or Mane throughout gameweeks, not both.

    Having a double Liverpool defence for GW24 means you can keep them until the end of the season, hence prioritising other transfers instead.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Taa mane and firmino for me

    2. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah, Mane and Taa are essential

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not even the least bit. But good luck!

      2. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not Salah (C), TAA and Robertson, both attacking fullbacks.

      3. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I'm really not keen doing major surgery with my team to get Salah in .i ll probably regret it but I'm prepare to take the gamble 🙂

      4. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Wouldn't go that far but it's the ideal trio on paper. We shall see.

      5. Rash
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I'm double attack for the double to hedge my bets, then downgrade 1 if needs be.

      6. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You can keep Salah/Mane for the good fixtures after the double.

        Remember Liverpool v Huddersfield last season? Mane and Salah combo were fantastic.

        Your right though regarding the balance of the squad with double defence. There’s no right or wrong way imo. Pick your path and watch it unfold.
        Anything can happen.

        1. Saka Rice
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yes there is definitely no right or wrong. The way I see it is you are only going to captain one of Salah or Mane, so when you compare the value (season) between one of these with Robertson, Robertson actually statistically wins in value.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            That’s true. If both fire though your covered and not scrambling to find the funds .
            Where as Robertson/VVD/GOMEZ are at a price where a Mane/Salah downgrade in the future can get you there.

            Personally I’m torn but think I’m going TAA,Salah,Manè until a WC around wk 28 .

      7. KunDogan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Balanced team with Mo and Mane depends on team value, it is possible but not advisable if u have a low tv.

      8. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Im doing Salah/Mane/TAA just because my team value is 107,5 and no other team can afford it in my moneyleague without WCing it

      9. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I'm all in for the double attack. Happily keep them for the rest of the season too. Will be interesting to see if Liverpool start grinding out 1-0 wins to secure the league or continue to attack teams.

      10. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        McCarthy McGovern
        TAA Soy Sidibe Lund Stephens
        Salah Mane KDB Sarr Hayden
        Vardy Rashford Ings

        It really depends on your TV. Pick what works for your team. Someone I know has been doing just fine with Mane + TAA + Gomez and she has no plan of changing that

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Your TV must be huge!

    3. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Is Rashford injury just mind games?
      Rash usually scores against big teams

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Plays Wolves tomorrow anyway.

        1. Jebiga
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Do you think he will play?

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            No

          2. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            No idea but should know more then at least, for what it's worth I do think he's carrying a knock as I doubt Ole would've subbed him otherwise.

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

        I think he was just rested as he has played a lot of football of late

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

      Chances of Sterling starting this gameweek?

      Was going to bring Mane for the double anyway but just thinking if I should just bring him in now.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Sterling "should " start

      2. KunDogan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Just get Mane now?

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

        He should start in place of Jesus

    5. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tanganga starts again. Two matches in a row. Definitely something to moniter

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

        How many clean sheets do you expect from Spurs?

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Too early to say but for that price he's worth a look. Does it really matter if he's a 5th defender anyway?

      2. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 3 months ago

          No

      3. The chocolate leg
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Rashford or Son?

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Whats rest of team look like

          1. The chocolate leg
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Pope Button
            TAA Soyuncu Lundstrum Kelly Williams

            Salah Mane Maddison Grealish Sarr

            Vardy Abraham Greenwood

            1. Threat Level Midnight
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Rash

      4. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Which would you have for DGW?

        A) Richalison -> Salah (1,4 ITB)
        B) Keep Richa. Grealish + Söyuncu -> Salah + Stephens/Holgate (-4, 0,2/0,1 ITB)

        1. KunDogan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          A

      5. Heiro
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I can't afford Mane or Robertson without wrecking my squad. Have TAA and Salah.

        Is Tamori to Gomez worth a punt?

        1. KunDogan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Might be a decent punt

        2. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Definitely

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

          Matip is back in training and Lovren should be back next week so it is a bit of a risk

          Get VVD

        4. Rash
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          1 starts and gets clean sheets, the other has a string of nil pois due to not playing

        5. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yes 100%

        6. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Can you stretch to Virgil?

          1. Heiro
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I can do Rico and tamori to Williams and Virgil for free next week?

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

              Williams will likely rise in price by then?

            2. Threat Level Midnight
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Do this

      6. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Best move over next two GWS obviously can’t do A if Ramsdale is out anyway

        Ramsdale
        TAA, Lundstrum, Sidibe
        Salah, KDB, Maddison, Grealish
        Vardy, Rashford, Ings
        Soyuncu, Kiko, Stephens

        1) Sidibe, Maddison, Rashford to Webster, Mane and DCL
        2) Ramsdale, Sidibe, Rashford to Ryan, Robertson and Abraham

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Don't lose Rash

          1. Bucket Man
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Only way to afford Triple Pool and before the Norwich game I wasn’t fussed about owning him.

            1. Threat Level Midnight
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Soy>Gomez

              1. Bucket Man
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Good suggestion but not sure he will play both to be honest and no attacking returns chances.

              2. Bucket Man
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Could afford Sidibe to VVD with McCarthy in goal but not sure. Think I will stick to Mane if Ramsdale OK.

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

        Newcastle gone pretty much full strength tonight.

        Increase anyone’s interest in Abraham captain?!

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          With their injury crisis, I don't think Newcastle currently has a B team

          Aaaaand the coach said something beforehand: https://twitter.com/BenDinnery/status/1216674255229915137?s=20

          1. Fpl Richie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Once they get some back the fixtures are delightful

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

        Silly speculation question BUT what are the chances Richarlison’s value holds at 8.1m until Sunday’s fixtures are over? Thinking about Rico, Martial > VVD, Richarlison for GW 24 and I have just enough ITB.

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

          I think he will rise but far from certain - won’t be for a few days at least

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

            Thanks. He’s currently at 47% on FPL Price Changes.

        Button Kelly Simpson Guendouzi

        1)get Mane in -8 lose Vardy
        2)stick and make two other transfers thinking Pope & Jiminez to Mccarthy and Ings

        Cheers

        1. Bucket Man
          • 5 Years

          2) -8 for Losing Vardy and a player for one week over the top.

          1. Oggle22
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Gomez/Guendouzi/Vardy/Jiminez to Reid/Mane/Greenwood/ings

          1. Oggle22
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Nice just worrying all my ml rivals have Mane so risky I'm the only one with Salah hopefully it pays off

        3. Karhumies
          • 11 Years

          2

      10. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Torn for my strategy next GW, own TAA and Salah...

        A. Sidibe -> VVD
        B. Vardy -> Firmino
        C. Maddison + Soy/Sidibe -> Grealish/Sarr + Robertson

        1. Bucket Man
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          C

        2. RealSocialDads
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Forgot to add that C is for -4

          1. Bucket Man
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            A then I’d say.

        3. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          It’s not just for one week - triple Liverpool looks a hold for a long run. Take the hit

      11. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Rashford > Firmino or
        Soy > Gomez

        Ryan
        TAA Soy Lundstram
        Salah KDB Maddie Grealish Cantwell
        Vardy Rashford

        Martin Greenwood Rico Kelly.

        1. Bucket Man
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Soy to Gomez I’d say. Bit risky but I would want Rash over Firmino.

        2. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Not the first

        3. RealSocialDads
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Soy to Gomez but likely a short term move

          1. Roy Rovers
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Could do Soy > VVD but obviously used up extra cash.

              Do that guarantees of game time then.

          Upgrade Rico to a playing defender before DGW if you can. Your bench is weak if there is a no-show in the XI.

              Or Holgate?

                4 years, 3 months ago

                or take a chance on Williams?

              • 11 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Any SOU, any WAT or Holgate, probably.

          Hahahaha Boy we can only hope. In reality, he wont score much more even if he plays.

        Given Lloris still doesn’t make the bench.... I’m presumably safe to hold Gazzaniga for another week?

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yes another 1pter upcoming

        2. Totalfootball
          • 7 Years

          Tot are shite

          1. The Tinkerman
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I agree, but transfers are valuable in this game. I hope he will see through the next 2 GWs so I can focus on Pool players

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        4 years, 3 months ago

        struggling with my 3rd pool player decision..Thoughts on these combos from dgw24:

        A: Robbo* + Martial + Vardy + Rash
        B: Robbo* + Fanderson + Vardy + Rash
        C: Aurier + Mane* + DCL + Rash
        D: Aurier + Mane* + DCL + Vardy
        E: Aurier + Mahrez + Vardy + Firmino*
        F: Aurier + Mahrez + Rashford + Firmino*

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          A or F with someone besides Aurier. He stinks

        2. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          E except the Aurier part

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

          A

      17. manu4life99
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Already used FT, priorities to transfer out over coming gw's for this lot?

        Ramsdale
        TAA Soy Sidibe
        Salah Mane KDB Grealish
        Vardy Maupay DCL

        McGovern Traore Lund Rico

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

          Soy, Rico, DCL in that order

          1. manu4life99
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Soy really? Bought for 4.5m and nailed starter for a team competing for a top 4 position and solid defensive record

      18. Mr_Barbs
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Play one this week:

        A) Martial (liv)
        B) Traore (sou)
        C) Lundstram (ars)

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          flip a coin

      19. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Anyone considering Firmino?

        1. Oggle22
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Nar have TAA Gomez Salah debating Gomez out to allow Mane in as part of a -8 not sure if I want to lose Vardy yet though

        2. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          HT

        3. Joey Barton and Friends
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Too awkward with so many forward options and 9+ Million is pricey.

      20. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ings rising tonight?

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

          More likely tomorrow night

      21. jorgenoj
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Which option for GW24?

        Current team:

        Ryan - Button
        TAA - Soy - Lundstram - Rico - Holgate
        Salah - KdB - Martial - Maddison - Dendoncker
        Vardy - Rashford - Ings

        A) Ryan + Maddison + Rashford --> McCarthy + Mane + Ayew

        B) Soy + Maddison --> Robertson + Grealish

        C) Soy --> Gomez

        D) Rashford --> Firmino

      22. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Which option do you prefer:

        A) Maguire, Jimi > Robbo, Ings
        B) Maguire, Jimi > J.Stephens, Firmino

        If I do A, will need to do it next week as 2FT required for the funds, therefore Maguire will need to start vs Pool... not ideal! B means I could start Stephens at home to wolves instead, and worry less about price changes.

        1. Joey Barton and Friends
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Easily A

      23. Joey Barton and Friends
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Kelly to VVD or Soyuncu to Robbo. Is Robbo that much better? Only 6 points separates them

      24. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        A. Salah & Mahrez (+Greenwood)
        B. Sterling & Firmino (+Dendoncker)

        1. Joey Barton and Friends
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          A
