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, 2 months ago

      He'll be gutted.

      1. Now I'm Panicking

    2. Utopsis

      Lots of running - zero end product.

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

        Yup. He wasted about 10 attacks tonight.

    3. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

      Liverpool will win CL again anyway.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I hate spoilers.

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

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

  6. Now I'm Panicking

    Vidal so soon?

    1. Twisted Saltergater

    Scott Talent but which e mail account ?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years

      Is that you Jarvish?

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

        Yes

  9. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bayern will go through on away goals

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

    Bayern Munich.... Very impressive

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

      Nah. Chelsea is just average.

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

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

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

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

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

            Great insight.

          2. CRO KLOPP
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            No room there with Lovren and Minamoto

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep . Strong team.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Genuinely impressed.

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      Its what an European GIANT looks like.

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

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

      Neither. FA cup only.

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

      CL only

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

      CL only but Frank might ban him from playing altogether.

    4. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years

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

    5. Kiwi Don
      • 12 Years

      Cheers guys.

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    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, 2 months ago

      Haters gonna hate, mate

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

      I dont think defensively they are all that.

      Blistering attack.

    3. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      They were playing very badly last year. Fact.

  15. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

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

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Surely Azpi is the one to get dropped

  16. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Alonso or James (money no object)???

    1. WE ARE RANGERS
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

      😀

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Pool v Barca though

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

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

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

      Liverpool say hi

    4. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Barca would disagree

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        They would agree methinks!

    5. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

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

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That too

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

        A few bungs go a long way

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      An impressive haul considering its Tuesday night

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        See u next Tuesday

  18. abaalan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

    2. nolard
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

    Man City to complete a PL quadruple tomorrow night?

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      theyll draw 1st leg

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

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

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

        "Bunch of mental midgets"
        Strange little man.

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

          Obsessed one is back

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

            Which one is that?

            You get confused at times.

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

            I never left, we never do.

      2. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Touch of the Willie Wonka about Pep.

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

        Hows this working out

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

        Clueless

  20. Je suis le chat

    4 years, 2 months ago

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

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

      And Davis can defend unlike TAA

      1. Naby K8a
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

          Well getting back into position is certainly a help.

          1. Naby K8a
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            His pace helps him get back like I just said.

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 2 months 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
    4 years, 2 months ago

    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, 2 months ago

      Frightening stuff! Seems composed with his final ball too.

    Aguero Jimi Firmino

    Button, KDB (keeping), Lunds, Kiko

    Aguero, Lunds need to go,, Traore also considered to make way for Wolves D

    What to do?

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

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

      They have now lost 8 games at home.

      A big worry for their top 4 chances

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry I can’t talk to plastic

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

          Looks like you have a lot in common with your team

          Lacking any class

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

    1. stu92

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

    0.5ITB, 2FT

    Ryan & Williams > Pope & Taylor??

  27. WATERMELONS

    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, 2 months ago

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

  28. Mince n Tatties
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 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.

      No news

      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, 2 months ago

        Yeah - won't be doing anything till friday

  29. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months 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, 2 months 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)?
