Better late than never, the second ScoutCast of the season is with us.

Recorded earlier in the week and available on our YouTube channel since Tuesday, you can now grab the audio goodness via iTunes or the players below.

After painfully average Gameweek 1’s all round, Granville Jonty, Andy and myself throw out the “marathon not a sprint” clichés before taking on another bumper collection of community questions.

We contemplate Harry Kane’s fading star, bow before the alter of Zlatan and attempt to untangle the great Liverpool midfield puzzle.

Jonty gives Goals Imminent stats an inevitable airing as we preview Gameweek 2, as I stumble over the finish line, delirious with man-flu and paracetamol.

You can view the full Google Hangout version of this episode via the second player below or stream the edited audio from this link or the first player.

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

    ooo - I quite like my GW3 team!

    (Cue Kun and Alexis injuries)

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      This

      My GW3 team is so sexy, and I have two free transfers.

      1. L S P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'm knocking wood I won't have to use my FT....

  2. TheBusDriver

    9 years, 6 months ago

    I predict an 0.3 rise for Pogba if he gets at least 6 points.

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Inevitable. There are casuals that have him and even more of them that are planning to get him anyway, so one point means a rise, 6 points is of course triple 🙂

    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else have the game sort of updated?
    Says next deadline is 27th August but it's still got GW 2 fixtures.

    1. Jay_
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Got to my team, not points

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Foster for example is still playing Everton.

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Ibra and Hazard rotating well for armband for non kun owner here

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        How do you know it works well? Just one gw has gone

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          No one ever knows it works well but fixtures rotate home and away well for a few months

    3. Jay_
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Gotta love CK

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah they make great boxer shorts

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Damn, too slow.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          The designer or the superhero with glasses?

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        pogba first 0.4 rise

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Don't think thats possible

        1. Gazpilicueta
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          whats your guess for safety score this week?

      • Clumsy Sakho
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Changed from Kun to Firmino last minute - now hoping it didn't Save

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Why ?

      • Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Fair play FPL. That was a rapid update. My pants didn't even make it to my ankles.

          1. Hurrikane
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            filth

        • Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Strange old game this fantasy footy lark. For one night only I have Valencia Pogba and Ibra....I don't even want them to win, let alone score pts...

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Pogba?
            I want to see your sons team more.

          2. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 6 months ago

              I will take blanks apart from Valencia. I think I will be getting Rooney tbh as really want Vardy for is next few GWs

          3. FPL Footy Show Pod
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Zaha or VVD?!? It's got to be Zaha right?!

            1. Reedy
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              You've got a week to decide. Chill

              1. Rupert The Horse
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                I've got to update my broadband. 🙂
                Team mates again this year?

                1. Reedy
                  • 15 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Ahh that'd be good 🙂 Cuba rides again

            2. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              8 days to decide.

              1. FPL Footy Show Pod
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                I know, already not confident ahead of this week!

                1. Rupert The Horse
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  So make decisions after at least one game has been played.

          4. KeepCalm
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            a LOT of Kun captainers in my ML. I went Kane...

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Good choice against a depleted Palace team.

              1. KeepCalm
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                But its Kun. I will be hiding

              2. ViewsFromThePo6ba
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Dembele?

                1. Hurrikane
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  myth

                2. Rupert The Horse
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  It's true he makes a big difference to Kane's output but he really should do well against Palace at home. I'm terrified.

            2. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Not surprising

            3. El-Kloppico
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Isn't Kane flagged?

          5. dcarlito
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Best transfer so far...

            Rachel Riley to Sky Sports 😉

            1. Jay_
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Yh, she's so hot

                Countdown to be relegated

                Hahah

              • Sauzée

                mmmmm

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Woodgate to Liverpool?

            2. Ron_Swanson
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Reckon Benteke will play this weekend? Or next? Is he fit?

              1. Dr Dream
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Dunno. Desperate measures needed at Palace.

                I can't think that any player who's been training under Klopp will be totally unfit to start.

            3. Krul Runnings
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Ladies and gents,

              Betfair sportsbook bet upto £50 in play on the match tonight and get a £50 free bet credited after the game.

              In play bet needs to be min odds of 1/5 (1.2).

              Good promo.

              1. Reedy
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Yes, saw that. Similar to the B365 one. But better really because you aren't limited to using your (risk-)free bet on that game

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              I dont like this Friday night deadline... might feel diffrent tomorrow without the transfer headace...

            5. El Patron
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Hopefully a 1-0 United win, goalscorer Valencia 😉

              1. Dr Dream
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                We all know it's gonna be Fellaini or Rooney...it just is...

                • 13 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Valencia will assist the goal. How can Valencia score AND assist at the same time?

                1. Sylas
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Winning and scoring a penalty. 😉

              Looking at next weeks fixtures it may be Hazard captain for me, three weeks in a row!

                The opposite.

                9 years, 6 months ago

                no but i benched Vardy and played Redmond.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Don't know about any of you but 3-1 to United, Zlatan hat trick, couple of Valencia assists and a Long consolation goal would be just what the doctor ordered 🙂

            11. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Damn my ML rivals have Ibra C, I don't even own him...

              1. FPL Maldini
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                The grass is always greener

                • 15 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                You're under pressure Jaks. My rival has Ibra captain too, have gone Kun myself.

                Who did you go with in the end, Kun?

                1. JÆKS ⭐
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Same as you 😀 Aguerooo

                  Just checked another ML, there is this guy and I beat him last year when I was 1000 overall but he got me the year before when he finished inside the top 1000 (as he has done 2 or 3 times now), he just bought Ibra himself and C him too! 😀

                  1. dcarlito
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 6 months ago

                    It's just got interesting!

                    Kun will produce the goods hopefully, the safe choice this early in the season I reckon.

                    1. JÆKS ⭐
                      • 11 Years
                      9 years, 6 months ago

                      Indeed, just hope he stays quite, will have to bring him in otherwise and start chasing so early in the season!

            12. Garlana
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              So many different captains in my league...
              Aguero
              Ibra
              Payet
              Florente
              Negredo

              People punting already! I feel boring picking kun, hopefully I will feel like a winner in the end

            13. Mayo for Sam
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Price rises/fall - do they reset to 0 after the deadline? Or will the be risers tonight based on the transfers all week?

              1. Rupert The Horse
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                The latter.

              2. Epic Fail
                • 15 Years

              Rockbusters for PL football.

              Initials: OG

              Cryptic clue: Yoda would say this if you sketched an Italian anti-Pato

                  So the only bit I understood wasn't right either then?

                    A football player with initials OG answers this clue

                This message means nothing to me.
                All I understand is Pato.

              Glad I didn't captain Ibra because as Granville said you don't want to be blowing your captain on a Friday night.

                Terrible logic.

                  I agree it's not logical. Just wanted to get that mick take in from the scoutcast 🙂

                  So you don't mind blowing your captain on a Friday night?

                Jesus. Granville's gone all X-rated if he said that.

                  He either said those exact words or "noshing off" I can't remember. Cracked me up though it was good 🙂

              Was away with the family for a couple on days which helped me hold onto my WC for the 1st time in my 8 seasons playing, I'm not going to lie I had a team set up at 6.50 ready to activate and I was fighting not to press it.. Was going to swap out Vardy,Marez+Long mainly for Ibra,Ramiriz+Llorente/Costa.. I think I should have hit it 🙂

                I think that was a good hold.

                Ah that explains your absence at the agreed moment. You still have it !!!!! Astonishingly me too.

                I've had him since last week. Will be getting rid soon though.

                Definitely one to watch. He looks a new man
