The final countdown has begun with the new season kick-off now less than 24-hours away.

Earlier the week the ScoutCast grew gathered as the clock ticked down, with Jonty, Andy and Luke joining myself to tackle a raft of perfectly targeted questions from you – the community.

Each of us take turns to reveal our current line-ups, while the collection of queries allowed us to put each of the four positions under the microscope. On occasions, we even broke from the ScoutCast tradition to provide some definitive answers.

Pre-season gremlins struck as I dropped out in full flow on Paul Pogba, but I managed to return to steer the ship towards its final destination – the first weekend preview of the new campaign.

It’s good to be back.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      RLC

    2. Silva’s Left Nut

      Carroll 🙂

        Not his question, dude.

        Maybe he has Carroll, or maybe Carroll slept with his wife.

      trust Man City with clean sheets? I don't, didn't pick any of those players but would go A

  5. wevy

    anyone taking a punt on schlupp?

    1. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Won't start

      1. wevy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        was worried about this. i was hoping for an oop

  6. cuervos
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you consider Davies as essential as Trippier was? Or would you rather have the likes of Bertrand, Stones, Danilo or even Monreal that are in the same price bracket

  7. Positive vibes

    Any thoughts for Jason Lokilo?

    Playing home, upfront for Palace with Benteke and Zaha againts HUD.

    Thx you.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Source stating he is playing?

    2. lugs
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      thats an interesting one that i was looking at , i'm not sure how good Lokilo is or if he is better than Townsend for that position , with Timothy Fosu-Mensah Joining palace i assume he will probably take up the wing back roll with Townsend taking Lokilo's attacking position , its a tricky one to call so we'll have to wait and see

  8. Ghost Gooner
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Iwobi is nowhere near Theo's output. Fancy feet mean nothing in fpl.

    Welbz v Iwobi? Iwobi wins due to price

  9. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kun or Jesus?

  10. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Am talking myself into being different

    Lukaku & William out
    Lacazette & Pogba in

    1. Silva’s Left Nut
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it

    2. toerag
      • 16 Years

      i talked myself out of b

    3. Odikostar

      Haha good luck

    4. daveyswims
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Dont do it, I was persuaded out of something similar Andre post approx 2 hours ago
      Cesc over Willian

      1. daveyswims
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        See, not "Andre" ???

    5. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Get Pedro, Mkhi or D. Silva, not Pogba.

  11. toerag
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    i have 3 SOU players...

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I have none. Kinda worried

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And everybody else should as well

    3. toerag
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      should i play both defenders or swap stephens/berty for ake??

  12. GinjaWhinja
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why is Kolasinac better than Bellerin?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      more nailed

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tank

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      *Better player too*

    4. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Where do I begin! 😀

      The biggest reason is that he is nailed, whereas Bellerin will compete with Ox if they are bother at the club at the end of Aug.

  13. Dr. Rog
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    JWP now a bad option?

    1. Silva’s Left Nut
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not as nailed with lamina coming in

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It could be Tadic who could lose his spot rather than JWP

  14. MFC86
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1) DDG + 5.5 def
    2) 4.5 gk + Walker

    ?

    1. Keiranj2027
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      2 get foster

    2. cuervos
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1

    3. Kvelertak
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one, but thing i'd do 1. Depends on your other defenders, but lots of good pics at 5.5, and DDG is the only safe United cover imo.

    4. BrutalLogiC
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1 easy imo

  15. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bavies or Valencia for a fire and forget pick?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia

    2. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Does Bavies even fit fire and forget. He's a good pick but you got to monitor with Rose around, despite those comments.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        have a feeling his bridges are burnt tbh

    3. Kvelertak
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to say atm, if Bavies is nailed, then him. I can't imagine Valencia playing every game.

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bavies is a great Trip placeholder

    5. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia the only United option. Can get trippier later, if spurs perfom

    6. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      cheers gents

    7. Silva’s Left Nut
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia

  16. @fpl_phenom
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Nailed It! Good luck all.

    DDG (Elliot)
    Kolasinac Luiz Danillo Yoshida(Long)
    KDB Salah Willian Carroll(Atsu)
    Kane Lukaku(Quanar)

  17. Townsends Tactics Truck
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would I be best starting with

    A) Pickford & Rudiger

    B) De Gea & Alexander-Arnold

    C) Cech & Darmian

    1. Made in Japan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      D. Cech & Lindelof

  18. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Martial as a diff is really tempting.

    Only 1.0% ownership and i reckon he will start but i dont know if i can work up the courage to include him.

    1. The Gobstopper
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It would be tempting, but I don't think the Mou really likes him, and there is too much risk of rotation at ManU for me.

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        In the wing positions rotation is a problem but with Lingard flagged it helps his cause even more.

        It is a make or brake session for Antony.

        1. The Gobstopper
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I agree that it is make-or-break time for Martial. I just don't think that Mou will even give him the chance to do one or the other.

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Had him but backed out. Too risky

  19. nelluckram
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play Speroni ahead of Elliot? Easier fixture and if he doesn't start he'll hardly be subbed on

    1. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ofc

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Like ofc ofc

      2. nelluckram
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I don't know why I even asked. Tired and going mad making the last few changes to my team ha

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thats what Im doing

  20. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    can I get a RMT for this team?

    Begovic
    Lindelof, Dawson, Bertrand
    KDB, Mkhitaryan, Fabregas. Zaha
    Kane (v), Jesus (c), Gabbi

    subs.: Hart; T. Carroll, Lascelles, Rangel

    thanks!

    1. The Gobstopper
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty good balance, I think, across the squad. I just would hope that Mkhi would play regularly. If not, you've got a big chunk of cash invested in a part-timer. That said, that is also my reservation with Jesus.

    2. nelluckram
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lindelöf unlikely to start GW1. He only played against Madrid because of suspensions, and didn't play too well

  21. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Darmian nailed?

    1. nelluckram
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Likely to start GW1

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Beyond that?

        1. TTKKane
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He's in my team atm. Think he'll continue if he plays well

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Blind a threat, no?

        2. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Danny Rose will play in his position 😉

  22. Boom Xhaka-Laca
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Danilo + Bert
    or
    B) Kompany + Cedric

    1. E25
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would probably go A - play it safe for gw1 start and WC early

  23. Koflok

    How to fund for a Liverpool player

    A) DDG Monreal > Foster 5m
    Gabbi > Firmino

    B) Willian > JwP
    Gabbi > Firmino

    C) Gabbi > JwP
    Willian > Salah

    1. The Gobstopper
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C would be my choice, but it depends on what else you've got going on with your FWDs.

    2. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C

    3. E25

      C doesnt make sense, so B

      1. Koflok
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Well technically Gabbi to 4.5m fw and 4.5m mid to JwP

  24. E25
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    G2G?

    Foster
    Bertrand Daniels TAA
