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, 11 months ago

      This

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

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

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

  2. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 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 🙂

  3. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      Got to my team, not points

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Foster for example is still playing Everton.

  4. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

  5. Jay_
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Gotta love CK

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Damn, too slow.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      The designer or the superhero with glasses?

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    pogba first 0.4 rise

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Don't think thats possible

  7. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    LMS has 3036 qualified for GW2 and 3201 total entries 🙂

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

      whats your guess for safety score this week?

  8. Clumsy Sakho
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Why ?

  9. Worzel Gummidge
    9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      filth

  10. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      Pogba?
      I want to see your sons team more.

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 11 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

  11. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      You've got a week to decide. Chill

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

        1. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Ahh that'd be good 🙂 Cuba rides again

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      8 days to decide.

      1. FPL Footy Show Pod
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I know, already not confident ahead of this week!

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

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

  12. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      Good choice against a depleted Palace team.

      1. KeepCalm
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        But its Kun. I will be hiding

      2. ViewsFromThePo6ba
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Dembele?

        1. Hurrikane
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          myth

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      Not surprising

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Isn't Kane flagged?

  13. dcarlito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Best transfer so far...

    Rachel Riley to Sky Sports 😉

    1. Jay_
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yh, she's so hot

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Countdown to be relegated

    3. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Hahah

    4. Sauzée
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      mmmmm

    5. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Woodgate to Liverpool?

  14. Ron_Swanson
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 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.

  15. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 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, 11 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

  16. Hawk Eye
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

  17. El Patron
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Hopefully a 1-0 United win, goalscorer Valencia 😉

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Sylas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Winning and scoring a penalty. 😉

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      this

  18. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Mull
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    A Fuchs
    B Amat

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      For GW 3?

    3. El Milagro
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months 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
    9 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yip

  21. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else one here bench Valencia and play Redmond?

    #Maverick

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      on*

    2. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      The opposite.

      1. El Patron
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        ^This

    3. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      no but i benched Vardy and played Redmond.

  22. dcarlito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 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 🙂

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

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

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

      The grass is always greener

    2. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 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, 11 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, 11 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, 11 months 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
    9 years, 11 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

  25. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      The latter.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      They don't reset.

    3. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      They will rise tonight

  26. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Anti-pasti

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

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

          A football player with initials OG answers this clue

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

  27. ChristoBisto
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Terrible logic.

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

      2. ChristoBisto
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. Nascimento
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months 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
          9 years, 11 months ago

          😆

  28. PlayON

    Killian here from PlayON,

      Killian's never your real name.

  29. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months 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
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I think that was a good hold.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

  30. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone else punt on Sterling?

    1. Mull
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely one to watch. He looks a new man

    3. Oooof
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No, but I can understand why you would.

    4. El Milagro
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

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