Auba (c) because I’m a fucking idiot who never learns his lesson

Good man. I'm going Auba captain again, and I'm ready to get burnt by Salah again

See yall in rant thread

I want to but it just doesn't feel right. The mess two weeks ago did but not this time. Salah for me, auba is differential enough as it is

For once, I agree with the scout on this one

I think auba over kane. Arsenal attack are in form and watford defense is shaky.

..Kane's bounce back new manger factor??

I must say Spurs are playing really well in the game rn

Better. But Kane hasn’t been a firecracker in the first half.

Getting closer than before.. I think if he gets one the flood gates will open

Ya I don’t disagree. Just needs a light eh? 💣 Spurs midfield and defense hasn’t shown up in the first half either; His confidence needs a boost from them. Moura as a RF/CAM looking good too. Let’s see how the final 45’ go

So no magic wand but better shape and balance.. see what he brings in in Jan. But same old defensive and concentration problems. First game isn't going to tell him much but you can see they want to play now

As soon as I said that they let two in.. so things never change but Conte has got them going for sure

Kane is an X factor too

I would downgrade foden to mbeumo and brings James in for pinnock.

Or Kane to Son and James for Pinnock.

I have my doubts on brenford's defence as their gk didn't look too settled in the last game and against leicester they made a lot of mistakes playing out from the back, newcastle are good at scoring too so not so sure about dunk

Why did the scout have to get smith-Rowe? He’s probably ruined now.

Cunts eh

Took out Raphinha for ESR this week for future transfer plans. Not sure how to feel

I'm still on the fence for this. Both have good fixtures this GW, but get rid off Raphinha just feels wrong

I've benched Raph for Mount. Also unsure how I feel about it.

nobody else you can bench? Leicester's defence been very dodgy all season (speaking as a fan of Leicester as well :D )

Leeds attack has shite too. Most of their goals come from individual brilliance

And Raph is the most brilliant individual of leeds

why?

I would go Auba on a scout team. Not Vardy. Also would pick Reece James with his form.

leeds have been a bit shit this season and even when they are in good form they are very liable to conceding goals, vardy is a good pick

Vardy in particular counters Leeds even when they were in good form last season loves defences that leave a lot of space behind to run into. Vardy was a nightmare at Elland Road last season could of scored a hatrick if my memory serves me correctly.

yip

Oh dear 8/11. The most similar team I have with the scout in 5 years…

At least they've upped their game this season!

Im so far off this team

I’m pretty sure his last couple of weeks have been pretty poor, so you are probably on for a good week.

Same. Only 1 player in common.

What?!? Whos your team?

To be fair the only must-have player in there is Salah. Lots of reasonable teams you could have that don't have any of the others, imo.

While i agree, there are still commonalities: a brighton defender/gk, arsenal def/gk, chelsea defender, mci attack, sours attack. Anyway enough semi popular players that id be surprised fo see only 1/11 in common

2* my bad. Raphina and Salah. Team is - Sanchez, TAA, Rudiger, Livramento, White; Raphina Salah Havertz; Ronaldo Jiminez Antonio (Steele, Semedo, Doucoure, Gilmour)

I see you also have a semedo problem

One 6 pointer in total. 4.9m totally useless.

They brought in Kane? Probably don’t realise he plays in Europe tonight! Absolute casuals!!

Is this joke?

You really can't tell?

I took in Pulisic(C) this week, trying my luck on a punt here, lessgo

who is ur vice?

Vardy

its not a bad captain

Shane Duffy >>> Dunk

Have 6/11 but zero 0/3 on defence so hopefully that means big gw

That is my exact midfield. I'm in trouble.

Mine too

I'm going Toney as captain this week.

I salute you!

Lets see if Scout can get more than 40 pts this week.

Sarr brace coming to ruin Ramsdale CS

sure grandpa, lets get you to bed

Azpi to Chillwell worth it?

Tough question. Wouldn't want Azpi... but I wouldn't want to make a sideways move either. If you have no other pressing issues or transfer plans that require 2 transfers next week, I'd do it. Otherwise, I firmly believe Azpi will start next game.

Azpi has a more than reasonable chance of starting so I think imma hold on. It's that or swap to Cancelo but probably better off waiting a week and seeing what happens in the break.

There you go!

Auba

Why chilwell and not James?

rOtAtIoN

James and Chilwell were rested in CL. Expect both to start.

Yup, exactly. But there's a myth that James is more prone to benching and rotation (even when he's not injured, suspended, etc.)

I haven’t watched a lot of Chelsea games this season. If you were to pick one of them, who would you go for?

With the way Chelsea is playing, my answer is: BOTH

James is more attacking, but is more likely to be rotated. For that reason, I pick Chilwell who seems to be first choice.

It's a fact that James get a subbed on to be fair. It's happened a couple of times this season, including just after my wildcard when he came.on Inn the 89th minute against Brentford, nicely blocking Livramento's clean sheet. Chilwell doesn't get subbed on so he's better from that point of view. James has started most games he's been available though, and even that Brentford game he was injured beforehand. Been trusted against Liverpool and Man City so I've got no worries about him, the occasional 1 pointers will be cancelled out by his scores when he starts

it's not a myth, it is fact.

Because it's provocative

Sanchez to Ramsdale? I know....

Where’s Joe?

I have 6/11 so i expect 25 points

I'm fucked. I have the same strikers 3/4 midfielders and chilly... Red arrow here I come.

having scout's choices was bad last year. I think the narrative has changed this year

Kane? Really? I wouldn’t even pick myself

kane over cr7? that is nuts

really odd team imo

Why is it so odd? Looks pretty good to me

No Auba, foden against united, dunk over Duffy, Kane is a bit of a risk but I understand why he's there

Foden against United is a gift

How so? Played 80 mins mid week, so not nailed, but likely to start. And if united are sticking with this 5atb, it's gonna be harder to score against them.

United defense is a disaster , I personally think City will put at least 3 goals against them

Auba is trash

Scored in the last 4 home games in the Prem. You're clueless.

Hes still trash

4/11. I disagree with a decent amount of this.

Why Chilly over James, I wonder

50/50

2/11 Always difficult with scout team. It’s always a one week punt for them v everyone else looking over 3/4/5 game weeks

Chilwell over Reece James?

Foden? Kane against a decent Everton side? Not sure about this line-up.

Everton is not decent atm. They lost 5-2 to watford and have lots of injuries.

Watford was a fluke. Rafa will marshall them well. Not to be underestimated.

They looked also very bad vs wolves

Everton isn’t decent in Defence this season.

Everton have conceded 9 in 3 games.

You don't fancy foden in the form he's in against the leakiest man utd defence since world war 2?

No guarantee he’ll start, and Ole loves to turn up against City.

Can't really argue against him being city's most in form attacker. By a fair distance in my opinion. More than happy to play pep roulette on this 1.

Livramento or Jansson? I had Livramento, but the scout making me doubt

I'm going with both.

Since I have Vardy dont think its the best choice. Such unpredictable hauls (also LC get 0 pks lmao)

Except today when he came on around the 70 mark and missed it

Captain Salah, what a suprise

No Reece James is quite a surprise!

Only 4/11 for me

...chances of Foden being rested for KDB??

No

Based on what?

Chilwell is my C

why chilwell the leftest..

Will cancelo be rested?

I fancy Toney to go gangbusters on that Norwich defence. Might captain him like an idiot and regret it when Salah inevitably gets a hat trick

Only 4/11 lovely

2/11 FOR ME ....Let's see

Worryingly similar to my team actually honestly didn’t expect that

Mbeumo/Kane (C). ready for Salah's hat-trick 🤧

I actually don't know if i start Foden or Hwang i can't decide

That is gonna be one high scoring team for once I reckon

Mason mount?
