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.

              I think he’s doing a good job.
              Getting rid of the dead wood/panic buys, and bringing in the right players....takes time.
              I’d stick with him for another season.

                This.
                He's doing a fair job. Looks to be a transfer strategy in place.
                Clearing out the rubbish they signed for a decade can't be done in one season. Definitely deserves another season.

      Very much happy for you to talk about this ongoing issue in the sense that it may directly impact FPL if the situation develops in a similar way to Italy.

      However this has been phrased in such a way that it may be construed as political in nature, so I'm going to lock it and clean up the mess of replies.

      Read a good article about Bielsa. When Poch was about 10, Bielsa called to his house in the middle of the night and asked to see Pochs legs. On seeing them, he proclaimed he'd make it as a player. Surprised the police weren't called!
