Scoutcast discuss Aguero rotation and budget defences

2,682 Comments

The Scoutcast is back once again to cover the key discussion topics ahead of Gameweek 11.

David will be joined by Az and current FFS Mods and Cons joint-leader Andy Goddard this week.

The show will run from 20:00 GMT until 21:00 GMT. You can watch it on our YouTube channel.

Up first, the Scoutcast crew will reflect on a Gameweek 10 fraught with contrasting emotions.

Andy did exceptionally well – David and Az did not.

Then, moving forward into Gameweek 11, we will tackle the Manchester City rotation debate, how seriously to take Leicester’s recent form and whether budget defences are coming back into fashion once again.

          Gomez hopefully.

          Gomez should play at CB tomorrow night and then may keep the spot for Villa. Having Lovren starting vs City would be a nightmare.

          Either way, avoid the RCB spot.

        Those 5 assists didn't do him justice either. I remember he was frustrating to own because he constantly got in really dangerous positions but wasn't picking up returns.

        Solid pick IMO

    How about...

    Auba + Son >
    Rashford + Sterling(c)...??

    Would leave me with...

    Pope
    Willems / Otamendi / Lundstram
    Sterling(c) / Mane / KDB / Mount
    Rashford / Vardy / Abraham

    Button / Guilbert / DougLuiz / Hanley

    It does mean taking the risk of Guilbert v Pool coming off the bench for Otamendi, but is it a risk worth taking...??

    From GW12 and onwards. A, B or C?

    A) 6.4 forward, Salah, Sterling (3-5-2)
    B) Kane, Salah, Martial (3-5-2)
    C) Firmino, Vardy, Sterling/Mane (3-4-3)

    Leaning towards B. Mainly because of City's bad fixtures and good captaincy choices in Salah and Kane. KDB will stay in the team ofc.

    Option C looks good value on paper, but who the heck would I captain in GW12 then? Leicesters face Arsenal and Pool face city. So im Leaning towards B with Kane (C) in gw12
