Scoutcast tackles De Bruyne conundrum as Chelsea find form

1,666 Comments

The Scoutcast is back to discuss all of the key talking points ahead of Gameweek 30.

You can watch the show on our YouTube channel between 20:00 GMT and 21:00 GMT.

Firstly, we’ll discuss what to do with Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m), who missed Sunday’s Manchester derby and is still a doubt for Arsenal’s trip to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

Then, Chelsea are the team to go under the microscope as they build some good form ahead of some favourable fixtures.

Finally, we continue to work on our advanced planning for Blank Gameweek 31 now that we have a greater idea about the fixtures and which players we may want – or not!

We will also consider the potential effect of Coronavirus on the Premier League, and, therefore, our Fantasy teams.

      Pep will want to give him some game time before the Real Madrid game and tomorrow's night game is ideal then limit his game time against Burnley as they are likely to use him as a football.

            =6+8+8+10 = 32

      No. You need other players too. Especially Liverpool. 3 is not enough. Lol

      Cant defend to save his life. Positioning all over the place and beyond reckless when tackling

      One of the worst defenders ive ever seen.
