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.

    Manchester United buy all these players this summer, have Herrera, Schwensteiger, Schneiderlin and even Carrick in their squad, and Marouane Fellaini still gets starts.

    It is so amazing that it's funny.

    1. Mark-O
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Carrick not on the bench. The bench is overflowing.

    2. Mortal.Swinbat
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I agree, baffling, but then who am I to argue with Mourinho to be fair! He does like a tall physical player for set peices

    3. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He was actually really good GW1.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Different player under United.

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

          Do you mean under Mourinho?

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Yus.

      2. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Save your breath. His name is Fellaini so he must be bad!

  2. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 2 months ago

    While waiting for game to start. Fix your team links everyone 🙂

    1. Lawrø
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Seconded, FPL stalking is much harder this season

    2. Ziro
      10 years, 2 months ago

      mine's a secret

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 2 months ago

        You can keep it as a secret but there is quite a few ffs users whos team I would like to see 🙂

  3. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Interested to see how Pogba effects the threat of the four in front of him

    Whether he will hog shots or create more, etc, etc.

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

      Yep, this is probably most important information we'll get out of tonights game. Frustrating not seeing mkhi in the team though, feels like we're not getting the whole picture.

    2. Kroosin'
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I think we will have to wait a few gameweeks to completely understand that. It's his first start. I guess he won't be very adventurous going forward.

  4. Weeb Kakashi
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Team for a Cash league starting from today

    Valdes
    Walker Amat Baines
    Haz(C) Payet Eriksen Redmond
    Kun Costa Llorente

    Jaku. Mcauley Fletcher Souare

    Did this go any wrong??

  5. The Rock
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Could anyone tell me what happened Kone? Had my team set this morning but now seeing he's Injured?

    1. Mark-O
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Everton or Sunderland?

      1. The Rock
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Sunderland.

    2. Reedy
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Says he has a bad back. Off to Everton I'd wager

    3. Sylas
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Bad back. He also rejected a new contract from Sunderland.

      1. The Rock
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers lads. Let's hope mcauley can do me a favor from bench:)

  6. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Popped up to my facebook feed. Is Mark hosting some fpl related show 😯

    1. Jafooli
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Him & Jonty.

      Jonty is the one in the dress....

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Hah 😀

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

      No, that's just his lookalike Jarvis Cocker.

  7. mipola
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Updated so soon?

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

      Thought you were joking:p Nice

  8. Stats Don\'t Lie
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Lamela captain 😎
    Lets do this.

    1. Reedy
      10 years, 2 months ago

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 2 months ago

    great work fpl, very quick update

    1. Ziro
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Mark got a new server thrown into the budget!!

  10. Jafooli
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Updated 😮

    Free WC?

    1. legendaryjordan
      10 years, 2 months ago

      What do you mean free WC!?

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

      Pardon?

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 2 months ago

      It's great fair play to fpl .

  11. legendaryjordan
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I absolutely bottled it and changed back to Aguero at 6.59pm 🙁 Why don't I just continue with my conviction?

  12. Jay_
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Biggest anticlimax tonight will be 1-1 with Pogba unassisted goal and the other one you don't own out of Tadic/Redmond scoring.

  13. Jafooli
    10 years, 2 months ago

    When did Souare get flagged?

    FFS.....

    1. BRONALDINHO
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kane too of all people

  14. Lingardium Leviosa.
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Now to select my team for GW 3

  15. Oooof
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Gone with Ibra instead of Aguero as capitano tonight.

    Anyone else?

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

      o/

    2. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Here

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

      Yep

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

        Pretty nervous. Big performance needed.

    4. Rolls-Royce
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yup

    5. Oooof
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Get set for glory, fellas!

  16. Garlana
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Prediction for tonight's game?
    Mine:
    *Ft result 0-0,
    *boring cagey match...
    *Valencia max bonus points...(wishful thinking on the last point)

    1. Oooof
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Utd 2-1 Soton

      Ibra with a goal and an assist

      1. Garlana
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ibra captained I take it!? 🙂

        1. ViewsFromThePo6ba
          10 years, 2 months ago

          As big as a differential as can be. Haven't seen anyone captain Ibra.

        2. Oooof
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yep, funny how these forecasts work!

          Got player - think positive!

    2. Siva Mohan
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1-0 Saints
      Redmond assist.. Fonte goal

      1. Garlana
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ooh out there, I like it

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1-2 saints
      Redmond brace, rooney goal with valencia assist.

      1. juggos
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Sounds a bit unrealistic. Redmond is scoring a hatty and tony V scoring not assisting.

      2. Garlana
        10 years, 2 months ago

        If Redmond gets a brace I wouldn't give a shiz about losing my Valencia cs

  17. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    That was nice FPL.

  18. Ziro
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Mark can do anything!

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      10 years, 2 months ago

      But can he yodle?

  19. FPL Footy Show Pod
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha sub for VVD.... Thoughts? Last minute decisions!!!

  20. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Last minute transfer of Gray to Carroll ... Let's hope for the best!

  21. Reedy
    10 years, 2 months ago

    See they can get it done quick when they want. They're all off to the pub now

    1. Jafooli
      10 years, 2 months ago

      😛

    2. The Road to Turfdom
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I always got the impression the long wait was a choice they made to build suspense.

  22. Jafooli
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Really miss the long updates, was the best part of the game.

    1. Ziro
      10 years, 2 months ago

      We all know Jafooli.

      Your game is being updated posts are history now.

      1. Jafooli
        10 years, 2 months ago

        🙁 gutted, might not play next season....

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

      Say it's game week 3 but has game week 2 players.

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

    I captained Costa.

    *hides behind sofa*

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Hide the TV itself i'd say..
      RedCard incoming.

  24. TheSteel
    10 years, 2 months ago

    United have 4 players over 6'1 in height in the 11.

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 2 months ago

      They can get transferred to NBA soon then

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He got shaaaat on so bad. Genuine lol.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Oi dont you start. Any more of your Ibra love in and you are getting it haha 🙂

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Like its a crime to idolize a player 😀

          I'm in love son. Good luck for the GW lad.

          1. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 2 months ago

            I have a slightly used Giroud poster.

          2. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Good luck too.

    2. Mull
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going to give him credit and say it was intentional.

  25. Stats Don\'t Lie
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Ive always wondered, who'd win in a fight between chuck norris and ibra?

    1. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 2 months ago

      VanDamme

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

    Oh crap! For the first time ever, I forgot to hit save on my captain! I had switched to Ibrahimovic earlier, then went back to Aguero for the deadline. Never saved it. I guess I'm cheering extra hard for Ibra!

  27. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
    10 years, 2 months ago

    The Mkhitaryan situation is rather baffling, hope he gets a run soon, was really looking forward to seeing him perform begining of the season

    1. Ziro
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Waiting to pick him up for 8.5 😎

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        10 years, 2 months ago

        That would be nice

  28. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Andy you sly dog, benching Hazard and playing Kone (out).

    I hope Moyes has tricked us all and makes a cameo 😉

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I did the same thing with Friend 😎

    2. Reedy
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Benchw@nkers are the scourge of FPL

  29. FPL Notebook (John)
    10 years, 2 months ago

    The game actually runs a lot better now. That update was fast, and the points/rank update at the end of the day is much faster too
