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.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

    10. George Sillett
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Good luck. Hope you don't end up in a different country on Sunday.

      1. Rupert The Horse

        10 years, 2 months ago

        Dear God I hope not. Had a mate who was put on a boat to Iceland and got sacked.

        1. Bene_the_horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Wait a minute I am the real horse!!!!

          1. Rupert The Horse

            10 years, 2 months ago

            No no no.

    11. Clump
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Have a good one. GL.

  2. Boss Hogg
    10 years, 2 months ago

    2 questions...

    1. Where are you getting your info on price rises and drops from?
    2. Will Vardy drop tonoght?

    1. Twelve years a slave
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He wont drop unless you all panic and sell him

      1. Twelve years a slave
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Fplstatistics . Co . Uk

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1) http://www.fantasyfootballfix.com/price/
      2) See 1

    3. Jay_
      10 years, 2 months ago

      http://Www.fplstatistics.co.uk

      Very close to a drop, an Ibra haul should confirm the drop.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Dont be ridiculous he only on 70% and it has taken 2 days to get from 35

        1. Jay_
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Over 100 on FFF.

          1. Ziro
            10 years, 2 months ago

            fff is useless. fplstats much better and -70 is comfortably far from a drop. Enough to see out till Sunday.

            1. Jay_
              10 years, 2 months ago

              3% per hour means 10 hours even at stats rate, add to that a Ibra haul and I can see it happening. I hope not, as I own him too.

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          You know better than most Friday traffic increases that massively. Even with the the Friday game.

      2. Ziro
        10 years, 2 months ago

        close to drop???? -70% is faaar from a drop as long as people here don't get scared of a measly 0.1 and its exaggeration to 0.5.

    4. Boss Hogg
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks everyone.
      Looks like I can leave it another day then, unless Ibra goes nuts and Vardy owners panic tonight.

  3. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Does the audio link work?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Elaborate.

  4. Jay_
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Pogba is very likeable

    1. thepeen555
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah he is actually - think it will be good for the squad

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah. They could be frightening this season.

    2. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Too much craic for Fergie's liking obviously, seems a gas man.

    3. Epic Fail
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds like a fool to me, but good footballer.

  5. Davido989
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Well in Pogba, got a lot spot on in that interview

    Always cool when footballers appreciate fans and the less fortunate

  6. Saint & Reevesy
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Hojbjerg is class, would make me smile if he upstages Pogba on his debut.

    Have to say the UTD line all of a sudden looks pretty formidable.

    1. Nascimento
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Amount of money that's been thrown at it, I'd be concerned if it wasn't.

      1. Saint & Reevesy
        10 years, 2 months ago

        To be fair LVG splashed a bit of cash too.....

        1. Nascimento
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, not Moyes and Ferguson too. Not talking specifically about Mourinho.

  7. Woy of the Wovers
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Wow. Didn't expect Scoutcast to be posted tbh. Something to listen to tomorrow then.

    Tbh, we're all guessing still but always good to get some first impressions

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      That new guy on there knows nothing about football... he s useless...

      1. ChristoBisto
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Which new guy? I think they're all pretty good

  8. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Zlatan blank and Rooney scoring would be interesting in fpl perspective

  9. Optimus.
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Tempted to bring in Pobga in Sky game, MoM award all but confirmed to him now he starts

  10. thepeen555
    10 years, 2 months ago

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ha. The season has just begun.

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 2 months ago

      It happens to all BVB players. The fans love can't be replicated

      1. Clump
        10 years, 2 months ago

  13. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        10 years, 2 months ago

      2. thepeen555
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ha ha ha

  14. George Sillett
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Rachel Riley what ?

      1. Ziro
        10 years, 2 months ago

        might grav up with that to compete against you

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 2 months ago

          She nowhere near competes.

          1. Ziro
            10 years, 2 months ago

            no? seems ok to me.

            1. Epic Fail
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Yep, just ok. Normal everyday lass.

              1. Ziro
                10 years, 2 months ago

                pretty epic standards for you then.

                1. Epic Fail
                  10 years, 2 months ago

                  Nah, she's just done up. Most average girls could look decent when done up, but you rarely see them like that.

          2. dcarlito
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Ah now, have you seen 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown?

            Unbelieeeeevable Jeff...

      2. George Sillett
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ah yes obvious now . She must have done that for free just for the love of football.

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Delish!

  15. Saint & Reevesy
    10 years, 2 months ago

    4. El Patron
      10 years, 2 months ago

    5. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Now that my rival has captained Ibra and I've gone Kun

      o/

  16. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Spotlight on Rooney tonight. If he plays well again, I think he could be in if Vardy flops

    1. ThunderPants
      10 years, 2 months ago

      what do you mean again? i don't remember a recent performance where i thought he did well

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Played ok at Bournemouth!

        1. ThunderPants
          10 years, 2 months ago

          each to their own opinion i guess.

  17. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Good evening gents.

    Any football tonight?

    1. Optimus.
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1. Ziro

  18. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How many goals and assists will Mkhitaryan get this season?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      10 years, 2 months ago

      As many as Depay

    2. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      at best 5+5

    3. El Patron
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1 goal, 3 assists. Shipped of to Wolfsburg in January.

    4. Epic Fail
      10 years, 2 months ago

      0.

    5. Mark-O
      10 years, 2 months ago

      The answer will Mata a lot because Mkhitaryan is warming the bench now.

  19. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

  20. Krul Runnings
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Ville Ronka Gw2:

    ________Foster________
    Shaw - Stones - Amat
    Mahrez - Redmond - Tadic - Firmino
    Gray - Kun (C) - Kane

    For anyone who cares.

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Did he make any transfers?

      1. Krul Runnings
        10 years, 2 months ago

        No transfers

    2. Jazz!
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No transfers made I think.

    3. El Patron
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Redmond and Tadic is overkill.

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Not if both score well.

    4. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ure in trouble this week...

      1. Krul Runnings
        10 years, 2 months ago

        You're in trouble for doubting the Ronka

    5. BLANKET DEFENCE
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Whats his ID

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        10 years, 2 months ago

        1. Kalou
          10 years, 2 months ago

    10 years, 2 months ago

    anyone get a notification from the fpl app warning of 2hours to go........

    i dont use the app, its pants...........but thats quite a useful feature

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Fantasy Football Manager on Android is good. I use the pro version

  22. Mid-Table Obscurity
    10 years, 2 months ago

    anyone else not captain aguero?

    1. Kurtinho
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ibra for me. Can't see him staying quiet on his home debut.

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I captained him by accident. Forgot to hit save on Aguero. Come on my son!

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Obviously.

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard for me

  23. El Patron
    10 years, 2 months ago

    My GW team

    De Gea

    Valencia Terry Friend McCauley

    Hazard Barkley Firmino

    Vardy Gray Kun(C)

    Let´s gooooooooooooo!!!!

  24. George Sillett
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Has Rachel replaced Bianca - surely not . At least we still have Kammy's intellect.

  25. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I am starting to think people are writing off Rooney in this set up because it is Rooney and they have big nose.

    Rooney could be the way to go I feel.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I was one of those people.

  26. JIM BOB
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Has Conte mentioned Zouma recently chaps?

  27. SilkySkills
    10 years, 2 months ago

    still interested to see if Ibra has pens

  28. Coaly
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Siggy to Lamela tonight?

    Swans fixtures stiffen up after this weeks

  29. Davido989
    10 years, 2 months ago

    This love in means only one thing..

    1. Kurtinho
      10 years, 2 months ago

      That's what I'm thinking! Seems like an exhibition match the way pundits are fawning over United.

  30. Kurtinho
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Two big calls riding on this match for me: Ibra (c), and Redmond benched. It's against ffs opinion, but I like to work off gut instinct 😀 happy to pay the price if that doesn't work out.
