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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This

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

      1. L S P
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

  2. TheBusDriver

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

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month 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 🙂

  3. Rupert The Horse

    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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_
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

  4. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

  5. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Gotta love CK

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Damn, too slow.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The designer or the superhero with glasses?

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    pogba first 0.4 rise

    1. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think thats possible

  7. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    LMS has 3036 qualified for GW2 and 3201 total entries 🙂

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      whats your guess for safety score this week?

  8. Clumsy Sakho
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why ?

  9. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Hurrikane
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      filth

  10. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba?
      I want to see your sons team more.

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month 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

  11. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Reedy
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You've got a week to decide. Chill

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Reedy
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Ahh that'd be good 🙂 Cuba rides again

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      8 days to decide.

      1. FPL Footy Show Pod
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I know, already not confident ahead of this week!

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

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

  12. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good choice against a depleted Palace team.

      1. KeepCalm
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But its Kun. I will be hiding

      2. ViewsFromThePo6ba
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Dembele?

        1. Hurrikane
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          myth

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month 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
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not surprising

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't Kane flagged?

  13. dcarlito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best transfer so far...

    Rachel Riley to Sky Sports 😉

    1. Jay_
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yh, she's so hot

    2. Reedy
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Countdown to be relegated

    3. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hahah

    4. Sauzée
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      mmmmm

    5. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Woodgate to Liverpool?

  14. Ron_Swanson
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month 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.

  15. Krul Runnings
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month 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

  16. Hawk Eye
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

  17. El Patron
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hopefully a 1-0 United win, goalscorer Valencia 😉

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Sylas
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Winning and scoring a penalty. 😉

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      this

  18. Epic Fail
    • 16 Years

    On the plus side, Friday night football is going to make this site a lot more pleasant on Saturday mornings 😎

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'll have to come here on Saturday morning then.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You got a whole week to decide mate..
      No rush! 😉

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      For GW 3?

    3. El Milagro
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I meant for this week! thought i still have time. i went with Amat. Thnx anyway.

  20. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. *sigh*
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yip

  21. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else one here bench Valencia and play Redmond?

    #Maverick

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      on*

    2. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The opposite.

      1. El Patron
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        ^This

    3. L S P
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      no but i benched Vardy and played Redmond.

  22. dcarlito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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 🙂

  23. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The grass is always greener

    2. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month 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
        10 years, 1 month 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
          10 years, 1 month 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
            10 years, 1 month ago

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

  24. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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

  25. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The latter.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They don't reset.

    3. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They will rise tonight

  26. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rockbusters for PL football.

    Initials: OG

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

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Anti-pasti

      1. Sánchez
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. FPL Maldini
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          A football player with initials OG answers this clue

    2. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  27. ChristoBisto
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Terrible logic.

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

      2. ChristoBisto
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Nascimento
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Nascimento
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          😆

  28. PlayON

    Killian here from PlayON,

      Killian's never your real name.

  29. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    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 🙂

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think that was a good hold.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

  30. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else punt on Sterling?

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely one to watch. He looks a new man

    3. Oooof
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No, but I can understand why you would.

    4. El Milagro
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yep. swapped him for Oscar ! based on UCL match performance.
