Scoutcast crew discuss resurgent Man United and Leicester’s fixture-turn

There are a handful of issues for the Scoutcast crew to get through tonight.

You can join us on our YouTube channel from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT but you can watch the latest episode back any time after that.

Joe will be joined by Az and Karam to discuss Manchester United’s new-look side, built around the in-form creative midfielder, and penalty-taking, Bruno Fernandes (£8.2m).

Meanwhile, a turn in the fixtures could mean a return to the headlines for Leicester options including Jamie Vardy (£9.7m), James Maddison (£7.4m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.0m).

After that, the tough decisions to make about life past Blank Gameweek 28 will be our talking point of the week.

    I have no hits this season and think it is maybe about time to try it out. In this game it is however often better to do as little as possible...

    a. Lundstram -> Lascelles
    b. Robertson + Grealish + Auba -> Pereira + Mane + Giroud, for a -4 hit

    McCarthy
    TAA, Robertson, Doherty, Aurier, Lundstram

      Also debating the Mount/Barnes question. I have Maddison still.

      +Barnes fixtures seem slight better then Mount
      ++Barnes scored more goals lately
      -Barnes didn't start last game (seems tactical do Man City)
      -Barnes thus has a chance he doesn't start
      (-Branes and Maddison don't seem to haul together)
      -Leicester seem a bit out of form
      +Barnes got 10 more points last 5

      +Mount would spread the risk (no 2 Leicester)
      +Mount seems more nailed (also no in Champions)
      -Chelsea seem still a bit up and down
      +Mount has a slight more assist and attempted assist last 5

      Well those are my thoughts, but still undecided. Your thought?

    I've got 10 men playing next GW with Lindstrom, Aubamayang and KDB on the bench.

    Would you sell any to field 11? The only one worth shifting is Lindstrom but bought him at £4m so a lot tied up.

    I'm leaning towards don't sell anyone but seems a bit stupid going into a GW with 10

                Yes agree with you that we shouldn't bring in players from wrong team, i have done that mistake before. In these 50-50 situations it could save you a hit in the future though.

            Fair. For me the Liverpool result is irrelevant FPL wise. Everyone has 3 or 3 blankers.

            It’ll be the other games, with upsets needed, that will sway me towards a FH, not Liverpool.

              Same thinking. If you start planning now the difference between fh teams and a planned team could be 3-4 "crap" players that slouch is talking about here. Bringing in Doherty who everyone should have on their FH team is just good planning.

    Who shall I bring in with FT so I have 11 players this week? Or shall I save it and keep my non playing players for double gameweek?

    If Giroud doesn't score tonight do you reckon Tammy starts back in the PL this weekend?

      Tammy mightn’t be fit enough to start.
