Scoutcast discuss Aguero rotation and budget defences

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.

    Is Janmaat nailed on ? Im really considering getting him for Digne and pumping money to midfeild

    - 3 cs and 1 assist in last 3 pl games

    - Decent fixtures. Plays (nor BUR sou CPL) in 4 of next 6.

    - Playing Wingback

    - Bargain price of 4.3

    Only concern against him is rotation

      Started 4 in a row and get returns 3 times. I'd take my chances for 4.3

    Auba + Ota -> Robbo + Vards?

      Auba set to punish sellers this weekend. He has never blanked 4 GWs in a row since joining Arsenal!

      1. Party time
          5 years, 13 days ago

          Could break his own record of successive blanks

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 13 days ago

            Doubt it

            1. Party time
                5 years, 13 days ago

                His blank is sustainable, ya know 😉

                  5 years, 13 days ago

                  I'm getting rid if he gets a 4th blank. But I think he scores

        • IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

          Yay

            Good to know. Kun tc confirmed.

              for real disturbed?? :O

                5 years, 13 days ago

                Not tc but I will cap kun. Think he will start against sou this gw and liv next gw. With jesus starting midweek against atalanta. Will be brutal for the OR if Im wrong but might as well go with the gut.

                1. De Gea is GOAT

                  5 years, 13 days ago

                  Yeah i agree with your reasoning. I took him out for Raz this morning so let's hope you're wrong mate haha. GL

                  1. SpaceCadet
                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 13 days ago

                    That's the safe move. I was also considering dumping him for raz for a hit but decided to take a chance for one more gw. With so many people selling could be a good differential. Or not!

            • 7 Years
            5 years, 13 days ago

            Safer pick, I agree. Looking for a parting gift from Kun. If we knew both would start, who would be your pick?

            1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 13 days ago

              Still Raz for me

                Fully rested for the weekend, and looked deadly last weekend.

                Interesting. Maybe solving this will keep me busy for the next 3 days. Ultimately ending up with the wrong choice of course 😀

                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 13 days ago

                  I'm glad Raz is my only captain option this weekend

                    5 years, 13 days ago

                    I invited this trouble myself by doing Kane>(K)un -4 gw10 lol. Also, play double WHU defense against NEW at home or play Soy against Palace away?

          2. Eze Really?
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 13 days ago

            I don't know the teamsheets apart from Kun and Jesus.
            Sterling not playing? Never can be sure but he is a must for captaincy this week.

      4. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        I am no lover of broadcasters trying to get brownie point over race issues; where they harp on about rubbish and you wait to find out what is happening, such as football results.
        However, I think it absolutely disgusting how EUFA can give a stadium ban of one game effectively. Bulgaria should be kicked out of all competitions for 4 years.
        It was so obvious it was staged and the Ultras and others were working together.
        A good reason why the UK wants Brexit; to keep those thugs out.
        SHAME ON YOU EUFA!!!!

          Tweeting this would be more helpful than posting it here though

            It took me 5 years to learn how to use this site, never mind tweeting that has its own monsters. Maybe someone who knows how to do it can do it for me.

          Mods, please delete this. I don't want to read yet more garbage from Brexiters when I visit this site.
          This country has plenty of 'thugs' of its own, so it's by no means unique to mainland Europe. Implying that we should keep Bulgarians and other 'thugs' out of Britain is more of the same racism that the poster claims to oppose.

            He'll be furious when he finds out the very thugs he describes flock around the xenophobic brexit message.
            Needs to give his head a wobble.

            It seems i upset a few people and there was no intention doing so.
            Firstly I don't agree with Brexit. I was trying to say (badly) that what happened in Bulgaria was a disgrace and The country does not want the people who do this in their place.
            Secondly, If such behavior became organised anywhere, including the UK the same heavy punishment should apply.
            Thirdly, it was the wrong forum. For that I apologize.
            I am sick of broadcasters trying to get brownie points but on this occasion, EUFA should be ashamed of themselves.
            Sorry if I upset anyone other than racists.

              Apologies for misinterpreting your first message so badly. I can see now what you were getting at.

              😆 Cantwell lost his place already. The Cantwell ship is already beneath the Ocean bed

          Bench one of:

          A) Jimenez (ars)
          B) Pukki (bha)
          C) Connolly (NOR)

          The more I think about it the tougher it gets. I can see an argumenr for all options.

                          Maupay is nailed, Maybe biased although got him since gw 5 & can't complain tbh

                5 years, 13 days ago

                I currently have KDB, who is best to play with him - Bilva or Dilva? Don’t watch enough City to know whether one gets rotated more than the other etc.

                  • 10 Years

                For those looking to downgrade Sterling at any point just take a look at this fact 😉

                Goals and assists in 2019.

                1. Raheem Sterling 53
                2. Lionel Messi 51
                3. Robert Lewandowski 47
                4. Kylian Mbappe 43
                5. Sergio Aguero 41

                I dont care what the fixture is he is a season keeper. Can score against any team in the form he is in 2019

                1. Poseidon.
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 13 days ago

                  Agreed. Will be my only City I think from GW13 - would rather downgrade KDB

                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 13 days ago

                  Can always get him back with couple of FTs 😉

                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 13 days ago

                  Keeping only because of 2 reasons:

                  1) Have decent backup in Soyuncu and Pieters
                  2) Want to upgrade him to Robertson, so going to wait for couple of weeks

                  1. Ajax Hamsterdam
                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 13 days ago

                    I said below, everyone with Ota has coverage and he could be in your team to your next WC. I have Rose since GW4 for that very reason.

                  Defenders that can’t defend don’t work for me. Sold Ota.

                Sterling, Vardy, Connolly, Lascelles

                Thoughts?

                    Fair enough I was really trying to get in Vardy without losing city coverage

                  A good call considering you are swapping Kun for Sterling.

                    5 years, 13 days ago

                    Yeah thanks. Guess it comes down to whether Vardy would outscore pukki and McGinn together.

                Any ideas what to do with this?

                2FT 0.0ITB

                I hate to waste a transfer, but I’m inclined to do nothing rather than make a sideways move. The only option I see is raising cash from Pukki and Digne transfers, then upgrading Dendoncker (-4) and going 3-5-2.

                  I would sell Pukki and king. Dinge too.
                  There are ways to improve your team. It’s not perfect

                  Get in the likes of Vardy. Connolly and soy

                    • 9 Years
                    5 years, 13 days ago

                    Maddison to Tielemans to raise much needed cash to upgrade your poor forwards.

                    Thanks! Soy for Digne is one I’ve been considering for a while. Makes sense.

                  I have Rose and wanted rid of him since GW4. I think Ota can easily be the same type of problem. Tomori and Rico will always cover him but maybe get rid so your Citeh choices are greater.

                With Matip out for 2 months is it worth a Gomez gamble?
                Nothing at 5.2 comes close to him if he recovers form with gametime. He fills in for TAA rest too.

                  I’m waiting to see who takes their place in defence.

                    Klopp has said Gomez must up his game.

                      Doesn’t sound positive then

                        Agreed but Klopp choices are limited. Klopp also said moving fro the middle to the flanks has not helped him.

                          Milner might start in defence?

                  Milner fills in for Trent too. Gomez and Lovren will likely rotate based on opponent

                    With just 0.8 in the bank it could be hard to replace Greenwood without to many hits.

                Imagine if aguero owners sell for sterling.
                Then sterling is rested and aguero starts in some bizarre pep Roulette

                  I think there's a little point to switch City's big guns unless someone gets injured. Have been on Sterling from the start and probably will until the end if he stays fit. You just have to ignore the massive bias towards the 'the flavor of the week' choice if it's the one you don't own.

                  1. Whats the Huth
                    • 9 Years

                    There’s no bias though.
                    Sterling is more bikes than Aguero. Which is amazing. You would think aguero is nailed

                    However. I can see that Jiménez allows you to have DSliva and Martial.

                    I’d suggest Jiménez to Vardy and Martial to a 6.0 perhaps CHO

                      Good point but I want to move away from the norm. I think Conolly can cover inevitable rotations at Citeh. Tnks for your comments.

                    Because I need a differential and I already own Abraham.
                    My other midfielder are Mane, Sterling, KDB and Maddison.

                in terms of future plan, thinking of either
                - saving next gw (despite triple city vs pool) and then do a mini WC to bring in Salah (at the expense of sterling or dilva/vardy > salah/greenwood) OR

                - dilva > martial in gw12 and then WC for gw13 to bring in Salah and Robertson (and make cuts to rest of team i.e. getting ings/jimenez..downgrading sterling or vardy etc.)

                  A lot of "forward" thinking. Maybe too much.
                  I have the same 3 Citeh players and Sterling should be a season keeper.
                  See my team above.
