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.

    • 12 Years

    Which defender to bring in for 4.9m?

    Already own Evans and not keen on Swans defence cause of fixtures.

    Thanks

    1. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

  5. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    So many price changes tonight before we see players play. Gameweeks starting on a Friday are a nightmare for fpl.

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Who's moving?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I dont have time to list them all

  6. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Bottomed on previous article:

    Hazard | Firmino | Tadić | Deulofeu | Capoue

    A) Hold Tadić

    B) Tadić --> Lamela this week. Deulofeu --> Redmond next week.

    1. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wow, same midfield as me. A.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks! Hope Lamela blanks this week

  7. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Only an hour and 20 minutes left of this awkward presenting set up before the game starts.

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I do love Rachel though

  8. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Tadic and Long owners ... Better hope for returns from them tonight.

    Long -86%
    Tadic -93%

    🙁

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      EZ

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I can't really afford these drops in prices if I want to do Vardy --> Ibra with the money I have ITB.

      Tempted to ditch Tadic as a result...

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        At least we get to compare Tadic and Redmond tonight. I will do the trade tonight if there's not much between them.

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Afraid I'm out with the family so won't be able to watch it tonight, but that's what the community's for!

    3. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Tadic dropping is crazy. He is good value as it stand!

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'll probably keep Tadic for the Sundeland and Swansea home games anyway.

    5. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Funny thing is if either of them are involved in a Saints goal tonight I fancy them to rise before the Sunderland game

  9. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    so, who is Melvin Mbabazi around here? Show yourself, we are up against each other in Jaffa's FFS CL

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He's the prince I sent £50 to yesterday.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Ahaha.

  10. Hakuho FPL
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Save your transfer!

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ok. Will do.

  11. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    If I will have to sell Gray after the deadline anyway, should I sell him now for someone with better chance for point in GW2?

    A: Gray -> Rondon
    B: Gray -> Carroll
    C: Gray -> E.Valencia

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Callum Wilson

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting.

        But he played just 67 minutes in the last match. Not sure if he's back in form.

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why sell Gray?

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Falling tonight

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A

    4. MesQueUnClub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      B

  12. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    As I have 1.5 in the bank. Should I get Ibra in for Vardy tonight if he goes mad or wait to see Vardy play but risk not being able to afford Ibra?

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      bring in the big man

    2. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm thinking the same but getting the 1.5 from downgrading Oscar to a 6

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Has to be tonight though Horse.

        1. Back on the horse
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah. It would be a shot in the semi dark

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Will do the former after the game. Even if he doesn't necessarily score highly but plays well.

    4. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      he won't go mad... SOU are pretty tight at the back and Forster is an excellent goalkeeper. I can see a Martial or Mata/Lingard scorer creating from wide areas but SOU are good centrally and aerially so can't see more than 1 goal from Zlatan today.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        And if he gets 1 goal and 9 points again?

    5. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ibra due to rise later but you could make decision after game tonight.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I'll definitely wait until after the game.

    6. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I have 2 mil in the bank so can afford a rise - thinking of bringing him in anyway

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Nice planning.

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I did end up with Oscar tho

    7. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      if he takes just 2-3 shots again and scores I'm not getting him...
      If he takes 4+ (and scores) he's in
      If he takes 4+ and blanks I'm also not getting him
      gonna stick to my plan

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        You complex man.

        1. b✪mber
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          he's 11.5... gotta be complex about it 🙂

  13. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

  17. Defcons are for Kinnear

    Friday deadline is not good

    1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      separates the men from the ...... casuals !

  18. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pretty irrelevant but who are people (vc) ?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Haz

    2. Tatty Bojangles
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I couldn't decide so threw a dart at them and now I can't choose any of them as my screen is broken.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero (C) Kane (vc) as it stands. May switch at 18:59

      1. Krul Runnings
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Think it makes sense GB.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ibra

      Kane

    7. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Haz - a safe back up in Kun goes down pretty game.

  19. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

  22. threeputt
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    best £4.5m midfielder to replace Jedinak (not hjojberg) or Nolito to Mata ?
    why the lack of love for Martial, is Pogba in to replace him or something ? seems unlikely not to start but he's not even a (c) pick

    1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Martial is expensive but i agree with you.
