With cheque books fluttering on the eve of the transfer window slamming shut, our Fantasy seasons could be transformed by some notable new arrivals. In this week’s ScoutCast episode, Granville and I chew over the latest fresh faces to crash the player list – United’s “Angel” Di Maria and Liverpool’s “Devil” Balotelli.

With just a single point between us and the comfort of top 100k placings, my co-host and I are more than just a little content as we the rule over the current bandwagons and preview another weekend’s action. It won’t last.

Bed yourself in via this link, or get acclimatised via the handy player below…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Not sure it will help anyone, or if anybody's already done it but I've just gone through and added up who's got the most games on Matchday 2 and Matchday 3 for Ultimate FPL from the scheduled fixtures so far.. It should give you some help when picking your squad to make sure you have players playing on the second/third matchdays.. (This goes up until GW16)

    Matchday 2

    7 games - Everton
    5 games - Spurs, Man Utd
    4 games - Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, QPR
    3 games - Aston Villa, Hull, Liverpool, Southampton
    2 games - Burnley, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Sunderland, Swansea
    1 game - Newcastle, Stoke, West Ham

    Matchday 3

    2 games - Aston Villa

    1 game - Crystal Palace, Hull, Man Utd, Newcastle, QPR, Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland, WBA, West Ham

    Siggy captain. Thoughts? I didn't see any highlights of last w/e game so have no idea how he played? My other options are Rooney, Yaya and Fabregas in that order. Really don't want to put it on Rooney.
