Scoutcast crew discuss FPL stubbornness and Spurs assets

The Scoutcast crew have a busy evening of Fantasy Premier League discussion ahead of them.

Join Joe, Az and Lee from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT for episode 309 on our YouTube channel.

While Spurs and Manchester City play their latest Champions League matches, our panel of pundits will be focussing on these two teams in particular.

The arrival of Jose Mourinho in north London has the potential to unlock several Fantasy assets while Sergio Aguero’s (£11.9m) injury could see Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) get a run of starts.

Meanwhile, our talking point revolves around the concept of stubbornness in FPL.

How long is too long to wait for a player to become good? At what point do you recognise that the in-form option you don’t own won’t stop scoring?

Tune in shortly to find out!

    Didn't watch the games tonight. Does the Sterling > Son move still make as much sense as it did before the matches?

    1. Fudgy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No point owning sterling if you don't captain him

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Lol, such nonsense.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          And yet........and yet.........it really isn’t.

      2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        What's the logic there?

      3. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Plenty thought that last week.
        That worked out well.

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I was there, he didn’t play very well tbh

  2. Ninjaa

    Currently my only City coverage is Sterling but im losing a bit of faith, would doing Sterling to De Bruyne and using the money elsewhere be wise? Is just De Bruyne as lone City coverage ok?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      KDB is my only city player and considering getting rid, if you’re gutsy enough to go without City i’d advise that route instead.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I only have Sterling and probably ditching for Son.

      City's upcoming fixtures are not great.

    3. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I dropped Sterling--KDB now my lone City asset--during the IB. Paid off so far.

  3. FDMS All Starz
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which option is better?

    A) Auba - Nakamba - Sterling ——> Ings - Son - Mane (-4)

    B) Auba - Sterling ——> Kane - Mane (free)

  4. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I'm in a save FT situation here, aren't I?
    Am I missing something about Mount (almost 98k sold this week)?

    Pope
    TAA, Lunds, Robbo
    Mane, KDB, Mount, Tielemans
    Jimenez, Vardy, Tammy
    (Button; Cantwell, Lowton, Rico)

    1. ted mcnure

      gtg
      roll one and relax..
      reckon Mount is fine, but not an owner..
      gl

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I'm chalking it up to a switch to Son, or CL, or both. But wondered whether it was something else.
        Cheers!

  5. One More Hit
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Think after this week I may do Sterling > Son and Jimenez > Kane

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Those Jiminez fixtures though! Could go either way that i suppose.

    2. Ninjaa
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Surely keep Jiminez

    3. Puncheon Guly
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't race to get Kane in. Their fixtures aren't great, and he's much more expensive than Abraham/Vardy/Jimenez who between them play 9 out of the next 12 at home, with all bar two of the 12 against "blue" opponents.

  6. Ci Siamo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Reckon this transfer could pay off?

    TAA and Martial--> VVD and Son (-4)

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No

  7. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Son and KDB, Kane and KDB or Son and Kane?
    Been on the first option till today but Sir showed some form...

    1. Puncheon Guly
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who would your other mid/forwards be?

      KDB and Son probably for me, although I'll wait a few weeks to see how they settle

  8. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Look ok for weekend?
    Right Captain?
    Bit worried of no City

    Pope
    Robbo TAA Soy
    Salah Son Pusilic Tielemans
    Jimi Tammy Verdy(c).

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah

    2. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      fine team, gtg
      how much patience and faith do you have in Liv cs?
      plenty of cheap def options..

  9. Tempestic
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Start 2 of these 3:
    A) Soy
    B) Tomori
    C) Lundstram

    They all look like great options its too difficult! D:

    1. Taegugk Warrior
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      AB

      1. Tempestic
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        That's what I was on originally. I think these 2 are more likely to get clean sheets but Lund's attacking threat is off the charts at the moment and I don't want to miss out on another haul again...

  10. Taegugk Warrior
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Any comments about Aurier...? Plan to bring him in..

  11. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Why so much appeal for Son ??

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Goals and assists? 😉

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He's ace.

  12. Pep Roulette
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on Willian as a differential?

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Always seems like it should work

  13. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Feels like both Sterling and KDB gotta go

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Why KDB?

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Will probably be rotated and the fixtures aren’t great

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Selling KDB before he plays Newcastle would be a mistake IMO.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd just ditch Sterling and keep KDB

    3. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ditched both already in a drunken rage after Sterling disallowed goal. Need Mane to survive the CL game and they will be fine transfers

  14. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Bit of advice pls. Here's the squad

    Ryan button
    TAA soy tomori Rico lund
    Sterling KdB maddison mane dendonck
    Vardy Abraham Connoly

    I'm thinking these options:
    A save ft
    B connolly to mousset/ayew (avoid price drop, better fixtures)
    C sterling to son, connolly to jimenez (-4)

    What would you do?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling to son/salah?

  15. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    City out of sync, tough fixtures and rotation risk

  16. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Hi....is this worth a hit please??

    Martial and boly to son (maybe c) and Cahill

    Pope
    Taa lunds soy Rico boly
    Mane kdb maddison martial nakamba
    Vardy abraham jiminez

    Thanks

    1. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Still yes from me, and (C) Son..
      I'm a Cherries fan!

    Welcome Harry KAne (C) in my team.

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Seriously? Can see the appeal, but not as captain this week

  18. Pep Roulette
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Choose one

    A. Willian & Schmeichel
    B. Pulisic & Gazza

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A as Willian seems most nailed Chelsea midfielder and Leicester have better fixtures and playing better defensively

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    How did KDB play tonight?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Involved heavily in city moves as always

  20. Wheyyyy
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Evening!

    Mendy & Hayden ----> Guilbert & Ward-Prowse?

    Sets me up nicely for GW18. Have TAA/Rob/Soy/Lund already so Guilbert will sit on my bench until needed. JWP provides a solid bench option/rotation. Thoughts?

  21. Energetics
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Is KDB to Son for a -4 madness?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Absolute

  22. Greko82
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Need you advise guys. The following team 14/15 players have a home match.
    A) Shall I bench boost?
    B) If not who to bench?

    Pope/Gazzaniga
    Robertson/Soy/Lund/Tomori/Maguire
    Mane/Martial/Mount/Son/Tielemans
    Jimi/Vardy/Abraham

    Your help is much appreciated.

  23. Niho992
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Kane is close to rise and Auba is close to drop. Would you do transfer tonight ? Auba to Kane ?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I would yes. Auba will chip in with sporadic returns but Kane will mostly likely smash it over Christmas again with his return to confidence under JMo

      1. Niho992
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        thx.

  24. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best combos here for next 4 gws

    1) Tomori + Mane or
    2) Robbo + Son with Tomori 1st sub

    A) Mount + Rashford >>
    B) Pulisic + Jimmy....worth it? Rmt suggests it’s worth it

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Tough mate.

      1 just and I wouldn’t do those moves this week

    2. Taegugk Warrior
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      2

  25. Pep Roulette
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on Mount?

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think he starts vs West Ham

  26. George James
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Best move? 1FT 1,1 itb

    A) Wilson >> Jiménez
    B) Wilson >> Ings
    C) Wilson + Rico >> Ings + Robertson -4 (bench headache)
    D) Something else

    Pope
    Lundstram • VVD • Soy
    Mane • KDB • Mount • Son
    Vardy • Tammy • Wilson*

    Button / Cantwell / Rico / Kelly

    1. Taegugk Warrior
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Stuck in the Mudryk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

  27. Taegugk Warrior
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A. Ryan to Gaza
    B. Willems to Aurier

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B easily.

      Thoughts above?

    2. Stuck in the Mudryk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B

  28. Maddi Son
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Feel like Kane is the spurs player to own... but can't justify losing any of Vardy, Tammy or Jimenez on form or fixtures.

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Jimmy can go after the 2 home games

  29. Pep Roulette
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Martial to Pulisic for a hit! Yay or Nay?

    1. Taegugk Warrior
