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.

            Not really. If you're spending that much on a player the one who steps in when he doesn't start is generally cheap fodder.

              He was hurt for a good portion that he didn't start? So pull those weeks out. Last year he played 80% of PL games at least. There's no long slate showing anything to prove he's rotated regularly.

    Who to bench/start between Grealish & Traore?

    Analysis of stats shows:
    - Grealish more goal threat
    - Traore more assist threat
    - Similar mins per chance created
    - Grealish more shots especially inside box
    - Traore much more touches in final 3rd (Grealish drops deep to receive ball where as Traore remains advanced on RW)
    - Grealish on corners and fk (but not pens apparently after last gw)

    Conclusion....

    Leaning towards Grealish but very close

          Well IMO I'm leaning towards a Brighton cleanie but then again I am struggling this season so maybe my judgement isn't great and I'm bias with Ryan as my keeper 🙂

            I have Foster - McCarthy rotation, Sarr and Ings in my XI, Mooy as bench fodder. Thinking of doubling up on either WAT or SOU def next for a club triple-up because they have both been so convincing. BHA def is not bad, mind you, just not as good as WAT or SOU currently.

      SOU: conceded 3 goals in the last 5, 2CS, complete shutdown of Vardy, second best DEF in the league currently after Liverpool.

      BHA: conceded 5 goals in the last 5, 1 CS, OK def but not top of the charts.

      Which one would you rather send an attacking player against?

    I’ve decided to sell Vardy for Firmino ready for GW24. Question is do I do it this week or next?

    After two top 10k finishes in last two seasons I’m languishing and feel like a risk.

    Got a feeling Burnley will be strong at home at the weekend. Crazy?

    What do you guys think about Jiménez perspectives?

    I’m aware Wolves are known for liking difficult fixtures, but after Southampton they are really tricky. Further, they’ll have EL from mid-late February and fixtures congestion.

    Does it a sound move to move Jiménez either for Maupay/Ayew or upgrade to Firmino?

    Specifically I’m choosing between those options:
    1) ROBBO Alli Maupay
    2) Kelly Alli FIRMINO
    3) GOMEZ Martial Alli
    4) ROBBO Martial Jiménez
    5) kelly SALAH Ayew

      Jiminez is like the girlfriend you keep thinking of ditching but then get a hot night.
