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 (£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.

        If they had 8 expensive attackers it isn't luck at all. It's a valid tactic to have options and have a good auto sub in situations like this.

          You don't think its lucky for the best or second best DGW asset to miss the 1st game, then have the 2nd postponed in a week that Barnes scores an unprecedented 19 and Lundstram also rises from the dead with 12?

          How often will the 1st sub even score 5?

          Long term it isn't a valid tactic.

            If they have an expensive 8 with no fodder they did so for options and autosubs. So no it isn't luck it's their tactic working.

            It's perfectly viable long term I have used it myself in past seasons.

              Also they get Salah captain. Terrible.

      it's not only about the title either. top 4, europa league places, relegation, domestic cups, promotion from championship, this seasons ucl and europa, euros in the summer, etc.

      if it keeps going the way it is the whole season may need to re-start next year with the same teams as this year imo. but then what is the situation going to be like after the summer for the start of next season?
