Distracted and torn by domestic duties, my appearance on this latest ScoutCast episode is limited to a 30-minute introduction, followed by closing cameo.

That’s just enough time to join Jonty, Andy and Az in revisiting the Gameweek 31 scenario and chip strategies that dominate your community questions.

While I’m away, the boys also consider the Gameweek 31 traps to decide whether we’re in danger of being distracted by the mediocrity on offer. The fate of premium-priced defenders is also discussed before they preview Gameweek 28, as I crash back in to make my late contribution.

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

    Jones or Otamendi > VVD?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jones

      1. RashFraud
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        And ota > bavies

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I don't have Ota but have ditched Jones today for VVD so I can drop KDB GW31 and afford to get him back (need 0.1 itb)

    Made my transfers last night to avoid a double price rise/fall.

    Nervy for the pressers today.

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      same mate. did VVD >> Jones. If jones is declared fit i will be fuming 🙂

      Thoughts on my lot below would be appreciated, Cheers

      Me too, but have 3 very playable subs so was a calculated risk. Also bearing in mind Man City and Arsenal have cup final before their game which may lead to injuries/suspensions

  4. George James

    Anything worth a hit?

    1FT 0itb

    Pickford
    Azpil Jones Mee
    Salah Ibe Pogba Sterling
    Kane Niasse Aguero

    Pereria Allen Mustafi Masuaku*

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Azpi to VVD with FT?

  5. RashFraud
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry for the repost

    Quick Captain poll:
    A. Kane
    B. Salah

    Leaning towards Kane. See a hatty coming this week

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B - but Kane loves an early fixture and a London derby

    2. d3bug
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i'm on A but B is VC & tempting!

  6. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bench 1 of
    a) Francis
    b) Jones
    c) Azpi

    Leaning towards Jones

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Others?

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        VVD is the other defender, and then have a reasonable 5 midfielders and 2 strikers

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I agree

    Apologies if this has been done but why the love for Walcott over Siggy at the moment? Anything other than price?

    For me the eye test says after the initial first 8-10 GW cluster**** that was Evertons start to the season Siggy has become more and more involved in their play, no Baines on set plays means he on set plays and potentially penalties?

    I know the next two are away but Watford are poor defensively and have left Dacoure to roam forward a bit more of late Marks article on premierleague.com showed. Burnley Away is tough on paper for goals but they seem to actively welcome shots from distance, something Siggy excels at.

    A plum home fixture then obviously a game in the blank gameweek.

    Not sure if it’s my nostalgia from past seasons but really drawn to him over Walcott, if I could afford erikson maybe I would go there for the next 2 weeks, Son is a cheaper option of that strategy but Lucas Moura might limit his minutes?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If I hasd the money id go Siggy. I think Walcott is only good when Coleman plays. Kenny leaves everton too exposed.

      Baines is back this weekend

    2. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      literally just price for me, was 0.1 off Siggy so had to get Walcott

    3. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Honestly think it’s too close to call. Walcott looked good against Palace but blanked. I’m scouting them both this week. I want a more convincing display from siggy like his time at Swansea

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Gylfi rotated and not started in 2 of the last 6

      1. Morph - Unbelievable Geoff
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Dropped for an extra defender vs Man U and Arsenal. Can't see that happening in the next 4.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Who knows ? Fat Sam ? Three at the back with Coleman and Baines as wing backs ?

  8. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone looking for a cheap LIV defender go with Robbo or Lovren guarantee they'll play PL games now

  9. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What's behind the FPL points projection in fantasyfootballfix.com? Is shot statistics and chances created e.t.c included?

  10. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Quick one lads, 2fts

    A: Aguero & RLC out: Wilson & Mane in
    B: Hazard to Mane & save 1 FT

    so it's basically Aguero & Shaq playing vs Wilson & Hazard

    1. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Only thing about Wilson, is Defoe being fit again, probably.

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        ya that's the balls of it!

        will have a rethink i'd say. thanks for reply

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Wilson still first choice for me but if he doesn’t score in the next couple I will start getting worried...

  11. trinzoo

    Bench 1:

    A) Martina
    B) Mee
    C) TAA

    1. Speédy

      Martin

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A as he's away... it's the only way I could separate them tbh

      1. trinzoo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks!

          😆

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus... mind me asking the transfers?

      1. Speédy
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Ogbonna - VVD,Hazard - Eriksen,Bilva - Mahrez,Quaner - Wilson,Jones - Daniels
        3 non blankers in,and wanted Eriksen and Mahrez. Looks crazy but should pay off with four players leaving being useless.

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          tbf it looks good on paper

    3. d3bug
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So 6 transfers?

    4. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      good lad

  13. d3bug
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which 2 of these for the next 3 gw

    Mane Eriksen Alli Mahrez

    Leaning towards Eriksen & Mahrez

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Erk-Mah

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      FH in 31 I take it?

      I agree with your picks

      1. d3bug
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not stressing much on 31.
        Have 4 good players + 2(2 pointers) & will get in 1-2 more in gw 31 (one will be Mane/Firmino)
        Also there's a possibility that spurs play that week 😉

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          haha... I hope Spurs do play but I 99.9% doubt it.
          if you aint free hitting in 31 I'd just get Mane in now. It's 1 less transfer to plan/think about

          1. d3bug
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Only one pool spot left. Firmino vs Mane
            I'll get the player with the better form... I think it's better to wait till 31

  14. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone recommend a good site with statistics as chances created, touches in the box e.t.c?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If you press F5 you should be directed to one

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        read as teddy kgb...pay that man his money & you can view stats all day long

          1. kennethrhcp
            • 15 Years

      Easy. A & B > A & B

      1. RashFraud
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Unless you’re playing ogbonna as your third def. then he’s gotta go instead of ota

  16. Kingtekkerz
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lingard to Walcott for free?

    Or are there any other better option below 7.4m?

    Thanks!

    What's the score with Martina at Everton? He nailed for the next 4?

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Baines is back in full training. Martina days are numbered

      1. jamie1972

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        don't think you could go as far as nailed. wasn't rose meant to leave last window? i'd say a bit of a falling out but I know nothing really & it's all what I remember reading here

  23. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years

  28. FlockofSeagulls

    Hi everybody!

    I'm struggling to decide who to start between Niasse and Walcott.

    Suggestions please?

    Thank you friends. 🙂

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      walcott

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why? Because he costs more or because you believe he'll score more points?

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          because he costs more, points is just a lottery between the two to be honest

  29. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    any risk of eriksen being rotated against huddersfield ? thanks
