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.

    Feel i need a Liverpool Mid for the Villa game but the only way to do this would be:

    A: Auba-->Connolly+Hayden/Cantwell-->Mane
    B: Auba+Hayden+Otamendi ---> Connolly+Mane+TAA this week for -8

    or C: just do Otamendi to TAA for free?

    I think the thing with Pep is that there are some players he loves (KDB, Sterling, Bilva), some players he would prefer to play but can't every week (Jesus, Dilva), and some he has to play due to wage, club history etc (Kun, Mahrez).

    How he then shuffles that deck is anyone's guess

      Not his fault they have 2 great options due to a massive budget. Absolutely need rotation with their schedule and style of play. It’s a risk buying them in for FPL, but great managerial decisions from Pep

                    Do you know how football works? He’s always on the ‘roster’ as he’s always in the squad. If he’s been dropped it just means he’s not first choice. He will still be on the bench and available to play in any game
