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.

    Chelsea’s kit is too heavy .... sapping all their energy.

      😀

    Just goes to show how getting the ref to have a look at the monitor makes VAR so much better in every way.

      Bizarre how much of a pig's ear the PL have made of VAR.

    Chelsea?
    Red?
    Down 3?

    Should have worn our potentially leaked 3rd kit for next season...

      Is that some Gary cahill crystal palace tribute kit?

      Yikes, not what I was hoping for today. That kit is atrocious!

  4. Niho992

    Mount is useless. One of the worst players i've ever seen

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He'll be gutted.

    2. Utopsis

      Lots of running - zero end product.

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yup. He wasted about 10 attacks tonight.

    3. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, still a lot to learn and improve. A lot.

    3 defeats out of 3 for English teams in Champions league knockouts. City need a big performance tomorrow to avoid a 4th.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think that sometimes the end-to-end nature of the PL means our top teams lose a little guile and cuteness. They don’t need to develop patience in their build up.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think this year spurs and city are simply in decline and chelsea not there yet.

        Pool will get through.

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool will win CL again anyway.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years

        I hate spoilers.

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think that any of the EPL sides will win it.

  6. Now I'm Panicking

    Vidal so soon?

    1. Twisted Saltergater

      Is that you Jarvish?

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

  9. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bayern will go through on away goals

  10. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bayern Munich.... Very impressive

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nah. Chelsea is just average.

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They certainly are but Bayern are a class act even someone like you must see that

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Only Lewa is world class there. Gnabry and Coman wouldnt made Liverpool bench.

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Great insight.

          2. CRO KLOPP
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            No room there with Lovren and Minamoto

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep . Strong team.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Genuinely impressed.

    4. El Presidente

    Is Alonso banned for Premier League or just next Champions League games?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Neither. FA cup only.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      CL only

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      CL only but Frank might ban him from playing altogether.

    4. ted mcnure

      How quickly the whisper of an Alonsowagon turned into a bus replacement service...

    5. Kiwi Don

      Cheers guys.

  14. Rainer

    This was considered a poor Bayern team last season when Liverpool beat them.

    Weird one.

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haters gonna hate, mate

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I dont think defensively they are all that.

      Blistering attack.

    3. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They were playing very badly last year. Fact.

  15. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso will be rested for CL. Makes him essential for PL again!

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      last time he f'd up in champs league he was dropped from squad

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Surely Azpi is the one to get dropped

  16. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso or James (money no object)???

    1. WE ARE RANGERS
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks, I have sent 100 pounds to everyone that replied. Watch our for the next question for your chance to earn money 🙂

  17. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I reckon when a team wins by 3 goals or more in the first leg, they shouldn't bother with the second leg. Call it a knock out.

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      😀

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Pool v Barca though

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You mean like last years semi-final, Barca just go through?

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

      Liverpool say hi

    4. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Barca would disagree

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They would agree methinks!

    5. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      100%, even if 3 up at HT in a final.

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That too

      2. Syd.
        • 14 Years

        A few bungs go a long way

    6. Brosstan

      An impressive haul considering its Tuesday night

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        See u next Tuesday

  18. abaalan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with auba and kdb?

    Could bench both but will be 20.0+ on the bench... only 2 blank gw players I have.
    Would obvs want to keep after this gw as well.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep, 100%, you're well set. Take a punt on a cheapie with a good fixture.

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You have answered your own question.
      You could do a punt, transferring one of them out just for one week, but that depends on the value you have tied up in them.

  19. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Man City to complete a PL quadruple tomorrow night?

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      theyll draw 1st leg

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They dont have chance vs Real Madrid anyway. Bunch of mental midgets

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        "Bunch of mental midgets"
        Strange little man.

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Obsessed one is back

          1. Syd.
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Which one is that?

            You get confused at times.

          2. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I never left, we never do.

      2. Je suis le chat

        Touch of the Willie Wonka about Pep.

      3. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years

        Hows this working out

      4. Annie

        • 11 Years

        Clueless

  20. Je suis le chat

    Imagine Klopp would like to get his big mitts on Aavies, would complement Trent nicely.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      And Davis can defend unlike TAA

      1. Naby K8a
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He can't. Just has more recovery pace to make up for his lack of positioning unlike Trent.

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Well getting back into position is certainly a help.

          1. Naby K8a
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            His pace helps him get back like I just said.

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Does it matter how he does it?... Only reason AWB is good at defending is his pace and tackling. His defensive positioning is terrible yet hes a good defender.

  21. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years

    Bayern's left back is an absolute monster. I never watch any Bundesliga games, but don't know how I haven't heard of him before.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Frightening stuff! Seems composed with his final ball too.

    Fair play Bayern, absolutely different class compared to us today.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They have now lost 8 games at home.

      A big worry for their top 4 chances

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry I can’t talk to plastic

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Looks like you have a lot in common with your team

          Lacking any class

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They're a great team. The Premier League really only has two capable CL teams right now to be fair, the rest of the teams are in transitional periods.

  25. Twisted Melon
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) Vardy, Fernandes and Gomez
    B) Ings, Mane and Saiss

    Ryan
    TAA - Robbo - Lascelles - Williams
    Salah - Maddison - Traore
    Vardy - Ings - Jimi
    (Martin - Hayden - Lund - KDB)

    0.5ITB, 2FT

    Ryan & Williams > Pope & Taylor??

    Are Chelsea still worth considering for the bournemouth fixture? Bourn been awful but I am now wholly confused about which chelsea asset to target... had Mount in mind

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’d get Tammy. I think Mount could be rested

  28. Mince n Tatties

    • 10 Years

    Anymore news on whether MCI will have a DGW in GW29?

    I'm bringing in Traore for GW28 and need to decide if it's DSilva or Fleck that goes

    Cheers!

    1. Syd.

      From Ben:
      Likely enough that you should hold your FTs until after 5pm on Friday
      If there's no announcement before the GW28 deadline (7pm on Friday) then the chance of a DGW29 will plummet

      1. Mince n Tatties
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah - won't be doing anything till friday

  29. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Already have Soy from Leicester and McCarthy and Ings from Southampton;

    a) Pereira and Armstrong or
    b) Stephens and Barnes

    B is 1mil cheaper but thinking A is worth the extra money?

  30. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking about the chips is really tricky before the fixtures are announced and working off probabilities that teams go through the cup or not!

    Are people just planning to FH in 31 or hoping that Liverpool don't blank and being able to build a team (e.g. 3x Liv, 2-3x Wol, DCL, Pope, Rico)?
