Scoutcast focus on form and fixtures of budget strikers

The Scoutcast is back for another episode tonight as we head closer to Gameweek 29.

Join us on our YouTube channel from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT for the live broadcast but you can always check back at any time to watch it on catch-up.

Joe will be joined by Pro Pundits Az and Lateriser12 to discuss the biggest talking points in Fantasy Premier League right now.

After recapping on a Blank Gameweek 28 of contrasting fortunes, the team will compare the current crop of budget forwards.

Some have form, some have fixtures, while others have both – who are the most important ones right now?

Then we’ll be assessing which teams are most likely to prove a source of reliable investment in the final third of the campaign.

Some clubs will have it all to play for, while others could be soon on the beach in their flip-flops.

Then we’ll be discussing all the potential Blank and Double Gameweek permutations including live updates from the FA Cup matches set to impact on Blank Gameweek 31.

    Why so quiet around these parts?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Everyone is depressed due to lack of DGW announcement

        Actually this article isnt visible on top of front page

        Same issue with this article: https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2020/03/02/defensive-returns-continue-for-burnley-as-ritchie-plays-out-of-position/

      Everyone is on tenterhooks with excitement pending the Cup results so they're all on the loo .

    How come there wasn't a captaincy video today?

    4 years, 25 days ago

    Anyhow, hoping for a good one tonight. Lateriser strikes me as being a knowledgeable guy, I was very impressed by his advice last time round, convinced me to put the TC on Mane. Let's hope for some better luck this time eh

    This article has only just appeared on the front page! Did I miss the "DGW29 for Arsenal and City as expected" article??

    1. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      😉

  5. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Predictions tonight lads?

    2-1 Chelsea.

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      1-1, Pool win at Anfield

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        I can certainly rule that out.

        1. Coys96
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          Oh didn't know went to ET

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      With both of the keepers, it could be 4-4+

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      2-2

    4. mdm
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      3:1 Pool

  6. Dele
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Wow so there’s a double GW then :p

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Not confirmed but highly likely

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        so if it is confirmed City and Arsenal get a DGW?

        1. SKENG
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          Nu bro

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Three strong away lineups tonight, hopefully they perform to cause untold, haunting, carnage and stun the FPL world.

  8. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Coronavirus is gonna wipe out gw32

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Might wipe out CL soon.

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Well in Wuhan where it all started, the numbers are getting lower and lower and lower. I doubt Selhurst Park on a sunny day is going to be affected.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Once we get to see BGW31, I wont mind too much.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Then it wipes out FA cup quarter finals too giving us lots of extra DGW's

    5. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      I think that rather than cancel, the games will go ahead, but behind closed doors

    6. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Humakind will forget to wipe their behinds with all the runny noses.

  9. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Robertson likely to be rested v bournemouthas starting tonight??

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      No one knows till Saturday morning before deadline

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      FPLROCKSTAR.

      Think that is how his twitter name is spelled.

  10. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    strong Liverpool team after all - think they will win

  11. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Not pleased about it but surely with only 3 gws to go until 31 , selling traore doesn't make sense right

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      got rid of him a few days ago, no certainty he will even start in 31.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Cheers . Will wait and see 🙂

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          I should have waited but brought in Sarr - rather his points hopefully for the next few games

  12. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Given I now have 8 non blankers for Gw31 I really hope all PL teams win. Otherwise I’ve wasted weeks building a team of dross

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      who are your eight ?

  13. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Do you think 8 players in 31 is enough to warrant not using FH?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      probably yes

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Borderline

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        why borderline?

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          7 wouldn't be great
          9 would be ideal

          1. OverTinker
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 25 days ago

            but 8 is a simple yes

            1. Syd.
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 25 days ago

              Some will consider it to be borderline as it doesn't give you any space for unexpected benchings / injuries

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Absolutely

    4. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Yes

    5. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Depends on how many games there will be

    6. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      If they are the most important players of their teams (likes of Jimmy, Doherty,etc), yes for me

    7. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      If only 4 games, yes.

    8. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Depends what happens over the next few nights, if Pool lose tonight it's definitely not enough.

  14. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    I thought that Matip would start alongside VVD but I guess not. Gomez still nailed?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Yes given how awful Lovern played Saturday

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        He wasn't the worse

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Once fit, he's earned the spot.

  15. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Louvren dropped then and Gomez back nailed in the team after his rest 🙂

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Lovren resting for the big game on weekend. Gomez playing with 2nd team in FA.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Gomez contributed to 10 clean sheets out of 12 games .... Louvren only came in because Gomez had a niggle, Liverpool were thrashed.

        End of 🙂

        1. CloudSky
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          Lovren is world class defender.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Tonight's team doesn't mean much. No Allison, TAA and Salah, I don't think they have been dropped.

  16. Kaptenen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Vardy dropping tonight?

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Hopefully 😀

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Ban

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Some of us got him at 8.9 🙂

  17. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    I am worried about Mane being rested against Bournemouth.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Makes sense.

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Yip will want him fresh for the CL

    3. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      hopefully has minutes managed tonight

    4. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      He got his rest when he was injured few weeks back. He needs to get sharp again and Klopp knows that. Mo played every game all minutes when Mane was out. Klopp already said in the summer that Mo and Mane are in great shape and don’t need so much recovery time. He’ll play on Saturday (Mane owner btw) 🙂

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        I think you are right. Mane isn’t back to his best so needs more minutes, not less. Non-owner

        1. Silecro
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          After a long hard thought, I agree with you guys. (Owner)

  18. JurgenRodgers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Exact funds for Auba..

    Fplstatistics have him at 78.6

    Fix have him rising tonight..

    Want to wait until Dgw was announced, but fear might be priced out

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      I’m in the same boat. Happy to wait another day

      1. Jebiga
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        This

  19. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Hmm. Thought matip would see some action tonight and maybe get pulled off in 2nd half.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Might later on tonight.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Boyfriend ditched you then? 😉

  20. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Even if this DGW doesn’t happen, would you still move Vardy to Auba?

    I’ve held so long to my detriment and the way Leicester are playing, I think I’ll take my chances on Barnes...

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Wait for press conference. You can decide after. I would go for Jimmy/Jota or DCL if Everton has a game in 31.gw. Auba has already confirmed blank in 31. Also Whm found some form in the last two games vs Pool and Sou

  21. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Jurgen, 'likes the team'.

  22. George James
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    What to do here if DGW announced.

    Really want Auba and have only 2 playing defenders.

    1FT 0.4itb

    Pope • Button
    TAA • Soy • Lund* • Kelly* • Rico*
    Salah • Mane • Bruno • KDB • Cantwell
    Ings • DCL • Jimenez.

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      -8 Mane out then

    2. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Lundstram or Kelly -> Boly/Saiss

  23. Man Chest Hair United
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Who would you ship for Aubz

    A vardy
    B Ings

    Have exact coin for b A would leave me with some decent bank

  24. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Oh great, Robbo has conceded 5 goals in two games and might be rested since I brought him in, I'm the best.

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      rested?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Milner might play against Bournemouth.

  25. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Gilmour looks really young in that tunnel!

  26. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Come on Liverpool!

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Come on chelsea!!!

  27. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Any news on Enda Stevens? Injured last game and not in team squad today for SHU

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Manager said (yesterday?) that if he won’t make it for FA Cup then he’ll be ready for league game over the weekend

  28. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Mane vs Alonso.

    1. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Poor Sadio.

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Alonso to rough him up

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Hopefully Mane drives him mad.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          I see what you did there

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Cat amongst the pigeon/s.

  29. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Mane starting means his minutes will be managed on Saturday. Salah(C) it is

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      He’ll have minutes managed today for sure. On Saturday, that will depend on the result, but probably you’re right. Mo(C) for sure

  30. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Nothing official about DGW29 yet?
