Scoutcast tackles De Bruyne conundrum as Chelsea find form

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 (Β£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.

    A. FH to something along these lines;

    Lloris
    Doherty / Trent / Tarko
    Mané / Salah / Sarr / Alli
    Jimenez / Jota / Wood
    (4.0, Antonio, Taylor, 4.0)

    B. Take back to back -4’s to get something along these lines (hit players in BOLD);

    Trent Aurier Rico? DOHERTY
    Salah Traore? SARR MANÉ
