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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Carrick not on the bench. The bench is overflowing.

      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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He was actually really good GW1.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Different player under United.

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

          Do you mean under Mourinho?

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yus.

      2. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

  2. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years

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

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

      Seconded, FPL stalking is much harder this season

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

      mine's a secret

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

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

    1. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Everton or Sunderland?

      1. The Rock
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sunderland.

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

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

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

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

      1. The Rock
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. legendaryjordan
      • 17 Years

    2. Sheeeit
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's great fair play to fpl .

  11. legendaryjordan
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    When did Souare get flagged?

    FFS.....

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

      Kane too of all people

  14. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Now to select my team for GW 3

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

    Gone with Ibra instead of Aguero as capitano tonight.

    Anyone else?

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      o/

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

      Yep

      1. Sheeeit
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty nervous. Big performance needed.

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years

      Yup

    5. Oooof
      • 11 Years

      Get set for glory, fellas!

  16. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Utd 2-1 Soton

      Ibra with a goal and an assist

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

        Ibra captained I take it!? 🙂

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

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

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

          Yep, funny how these forecasts work!

          Got player - think positive!

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1-0 Saints
      Redmond assist.. Fonte goal

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

        Ooh out there, I like it

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. juggos
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

  17. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    That was nice FPL.

  18. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mark can do anything!

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      But can he yodle?

  19. FPL Footy Show Pod

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

  20. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

    2. The Road to Turfdom
      • 10 Years

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

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      We all know Jafooli.

      Your game is being updated posts are history now.

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

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

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

  23. Sadio

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

  24. TheSteel
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      They can get transferred to NBA soon then

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

            I have a slightly used Giroud poster.

          2. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Good luck too.

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

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

  25. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      VanDamme

  26. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Waiting to pick him up for 8.5 😎

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That would be nice

  28. Az

    • 17 Years

    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…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I did the same thing with Friend 😎

    2. Reedy
      • 16 Years

      Benchw@nkers are the scourge of FPL

  29. FPL Notebook (John)
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month 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
