Scoutcast Episode 354 – How can FPL bosses fit in Salah, De Bruyne and Fernandes?

Joe and Az are joined by Karam to look ahead to Gameweek 11 and assess the key challenges facing Fantasy Premier League managers.

Chief among their concerns is the postponement of Friday night’s clash between Aston Villa and Newcastle United. There is a chance that it could be rearranged within the Gameweek but if not, FPL managers face some tough choices. Should they bench or swap out the likes of Villa talisman Jack Grealish (£7.7m) or Newcastle striker Callum Wilson (£6.5m)?

Our Scoutcast trio also discuss the three most talked about players of the week: Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (£12.2m), Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne (£11.7m) and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (£10.9m). These midfield picks are showing remarkable consistency but with hefty price tags, it may be tricky to fit them all in. Can they be ‘covered’ by the likes of Reds midfielder Diogo Jota (£6.8m) and City winger Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m)?

Pep Guardiola’s latest round of roulette is also on the bill. This chat will be of particular interest to those clinging onto City rotation risks such as Raheem Sterling (£11.4m).

Meanwhile, Joe, Az and Karam give their top tips for climbing up the rankings ahead of Christmas. Within this section, Karam takes his turn to pick a differential, which garners approval from Joe and Az.

The usual features are also covered in the show, with next four fixtures frisked, rough with the smooths aired, and transfer and captaincy plans revealed.

    Does Kane Podence to Antonio/Bamford KDB (-4) still look the best bet here? Probably what I'm most keen on, despite Martinez being out and Cancelo a rotation risk. 1FT 2.6m ITB

    Martinez** (Steer**)
    Robbo Cancelo Lamptey (Coufal Mitchell)
    Bruno Son Ziyech JRodriguez Podence
    Kane* DCL (Davis**)

    Likely shipping Hamez for Jota next week too, and maybe Cancelo for Chilwell. Thanks all as always 🙂

        True every chance he does. But I still have Son for that game too, and there's also KDB against Fulham, and with excellent other fixtures coming up.

        Wwyd then?

      Don’t like those moves at all, ditching Kane ahead of Arsenal and ditching Podence when he returned last week and Jimi is out.

        Last week returns don't dictate this week though. Podence has Liverpool while KDB has Fulham, and more good fixtures to come. Still have Son too, while Kane been dropping deeper recently and still got some tough-ish fixtures upcoming.

        Wwyd instead then? are you advocating going without a City player?

          I’d just do a keeper move, no I’m not overly bothered by City unless there is an expensive/useless asset to move on.
          Liverpool’s defence does not inspire me with confidence, I personally wouldn’t lose podence, but I don’t own him so easy to say that

            Fair. Very hard to pick a keeper who'll consistently do well though - and I've been happy enough with Martinez set and forget, and he still has good fixtures plus 2 DGW now

        Wouldn't mind Cancelo benching but I have Kilman too so both look like they are no longer starters.

        Would have to go with Coufal, Chilwell and Targett. Ah, so that's only 2 defenders then.

    Planning ahead is nearly impossible under normal circunstances. Under these covid 19 times alongside all the injuries do the fixture congestion, it is even harder. I still feel the need the need to plan a bit, as the transfers you make now will affekt the transfers you're able to do later. Which transfer plan do you prefer?

    A) The holy trinity (Salah, KDB, Bruno)

    GW11: Watkins + Son -> Bamford + Salah
    GW12: Save
    GW13: Kane + Stephens -> Bruno + Brewster

    B) No KDB (but Mahrez AND Kane)

    GW11: Watkins + Stephens -> Brewster + Mahrez
    GW12: KDB + DCL -> Salah + Antonio/Watkins
    GW13: Son -> Bruno

    Thoughts? Actually leaning towards B. Feel like the overall team is stronger. Shift Captain between Bruno, Kane and Salah.

    How essentially would you rate KDB for this week and going forward? Likely ditching Kane (still have Son too) to get him - but the City man only has 1G 5A so far... has he been unlucky not to get more? Should we see an uptick in form?

    Who would you let go of to get Salah in gw12. Assuming 0.5m itb so will need to shift out two of these players to create the funds

    A: KDB
    B: Bruno
    C: Son
    D: Jota
    E: Kane

    Am currently thinking Son + Kane >> Salah + Bamford in gw12. Alternatively just try to find 0.1m in def for KDB > Salah?

      I had Podence. I still think he's quality, but sold for Jota for the price bump & better team (eye on Fulham too)

      It's the consistent second-half substitutions that are the real issue with him. You can argue Jota has the same danger, but he plays for a better attacking team. Wolves never blown teams away.

      Admittedly the Jimenez injury makes Podence more valuable to a wolves than before when I sold him, but I actually think that Neto is the better option.

      Tough one this week.

      Burnley is a better fixture for James. Will have more space on the pitch to play.

      Podence will be up against Neco with Allison also unlikely to feature.

      If you're chucking one, I'd chuck the one you're less likely to want to keep longer term.
