Scoutcast crew discuss evolving template and best chip strategies

1,046 Comments

There are some big questions for the Scoutcast crew to answer tonight.

The Fantasy Premier League template continues to break up and dissolve while new players are making cases for a place in the new so-called ‘meta team’.

Join Joe, Karam and Pro Pundit Tom Freeman on our YouTube channel to hear their discussion.

The show will run from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT.

Up for consideration in the new template is Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero (£12.0m), so we will begin our analysis with him ahead of a favourable Gameweek 26 match against West Ham.

Meanwhile, those on the chopping block include John Lundstram (£5.1m), Leicester players and other cheap defenders.

Our pundits will discuss which of these they will be keeping and who should be ditched as soon as possible.

Finally, we’ll be looking ahead to the upcoming Blank and Double Gameweeks to assess when the best time to play the chips will be.

    If Liverpool lose this does WCing early have more appeal due to us being able to go triple Pool and triple Wolves for BGW31?

      Majority already have triple Pool and will have at least 1 Wolves in 27, with more to follow thanks to good fixtures.

      Don’t think it’s a factor for WC.

    General question regarding all of you with high team value (>105). How many transfers have you done in total to get there? I get the advantages later in the season but I never get to a really high value.

          I got Lundy at 4 too, but surely he has to go? He’s got serious competition from not 1 but 2 players, he blanks soon, and he’s the worst type of “defender“ when he doesn’t start - one who comes on for cameos. I hate to say goodbye but I think the party’s over

    Hey guys, 1 FT and 5.9 ITB.

    Should I keep Vardy for the nice run of games after his next two? Does that mean Maupay has to go or should I get Mane back?

    Guaita
    TAA / Holgate / Webster
    Salah / Grealish / KDB / Traore
    Vardy / Ings / Maupay

    Button / Lund / Williams / Cantwell

      Possibly get Firmino for Maupay and switch him to Jimi in a couple of weeks... Or just get Jimi now. Would keep Vardy

        Thanks good advice. Is the thinking to get Firmino to give more Pool cover in the absence of Mane? I want Mane back but there is still a chance he could start on the bench if Klopp isn't ready to risk him.

          Yeah Firmino pretty nailed with lovely fixtures but no body knows what's going to happen with mane. Better to keep ticking along while things clear up

    Is it risky captaining Mane, Klopp said he would be back after the winter break but is it still a risk?

      Of course.

      Even if he does start, expect limited minutes.

      Too risky to captain, we won’t get a press conference before deadline.

      Either him or Bergwijn could be good for the Villa game.

      Resisting the obvious toilet gag, I think he's a half decent pick.

      Seems to have nailed the CF spot for now.

      Hard pass.
      I'll be getting richarlison in to join Salah, son, barnes and Grealish in my midfield. Will bench him or sell him for 29/30
