The ScoutCast – FPL Launch Reaction

Fantasy Premier League Launch day is here and ScoutCast duo Joe and David have produced our first ever summer broadcast to offer their initial thoughts on the game and the prices.

Early doors, they couldn’t stop themselves from asking the big question: ‘Should we have Mohamed Salah in our teams when he costs £13.0m?’ You’ll have to listen in to find out their feelings on that.

Elsewhere, the reclassification of key attacking players has altered early strategies while the pair also name their over-priced assets before picking out some potential bargains.

Finally, they stick their necks out by declaring the three premium players likely to make their Gameweek 1 line-ups.

As usual you can get an audio version right here or via the first player below.

Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get notification of our future videos to come over the summer and during the new season.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Prefer Neymar but Willian and Mbappe keep tempting me

  3. Super Silva Haze
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Please help me choose the right 4 players?

    A.Kane or Neymar
    B.Willian or Rakitic
    C.Meunier or Trippier
    D.Lingard or Golovin

    Open to any other suggestions ?

    1. Abusement Park
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      kane
      willian
      trippier
      lingard

      ... mainly cuz i think ENG could go far

      1. Super Silva Haze
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah think your tight there. Only concern is Willian to start. Do you reckon he is nailed ?

        1. Abusement Park
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          leaning towards yes

  4. Abusement Park
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Locked and loaded for GW1

    RMT

    Fabianski
    Mendy Coleman Tomkins
    Sane Hazard Eriksen Deulofeu
    Aguero Firmino Tosun

    Hamer Cedric Masuaku Schelotto

    1. Abusement Park
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      only concern is 8 out of the starting 11 play away in GW1

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Too many expensive WC assets

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Why not KDB instead of Kun?

  5. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Siggy or Tosun?

    Who do you reckon?

    1. Jacktastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy

    2. Emiliano Sala

      tosun

    3. WALOR

      Siggy

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Baines & Theo!

  6. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    What mids are people going for?

    I'm struggling to fill the blank here for a 3-4-3!

    Mane, Sane, Ramsey, _____, 4.5

    Hazard? Eriksen? Silva? Mkhi? Siggy? There's so much choice...

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Salah.

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Knew someone would say that :lol'

        1. DantheManinaPan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          * 😆

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Mili, Groß, Theo all look good options

  7. tim_oriordan
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Any feedback on this FPL team would be much appreciated.

    Leno
    Christensen Bailly Arnold Cedric
    Salah Eriksen Cavaleiro
    Aguero Aubameyang Zaha

    Button Dunk Romeu Stephens

    1. Siggy in the Middle
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Bench too weak

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      imo no to Bailly until it becomes clear that he's nailed , who is Cavaleiro ? , and Christensen is cursed and not nailed with possibly a new manager on the way

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I like Son at 8.5 the most out of any Spurs players

      1. stat
          5 years, 10 months ago

          He's going to miss the first few games because of the Asian Cup

    4. Siggy in the Middle
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Salah is now 13M. Who's signing him and who's going Salahless?

      For me, I'm going without for now. Though my team changes a lot over preseason so he'll probably be going in and out of my team.

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I'll get him for the start if his ownership is around 50%. Will be easier to drop him later than get him in. If he goes off with those easy opening fixtures and you don't have him, it could be game over.... I won't be getting Kane at first so it makes it a bit easier.

      2. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        He's locked in for me. Great opening fixtures where he could explode, will have massive ownership and captaincy. Don't want to be playing catchup from the start.

      3. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        In.

      4. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I haven't really considered him at 13m. I guess I'll start to get nervous as the weeks go on but it's not really crossed my mind yet to dump 13m into one slot

      5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        In. I don't see any reason why anyone would go without at start at least. A goal in first game and he will rise

    5. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Get Neymar in for Costa and down grade Isco for fodder? Or get Mbappe / Greiz and a better mid? My other forwards are Kane and Lukaku.

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Anyone..?

      2. Prøfeßör …
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        What can you afford with Neymar? Lingard or Golovin? If so, yes. Otherwise, there aren't too many options, maybe get Griezmann or Mbappe.

      3. Rotation
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Same front 3, same dilemma.

        Ended up going for Mbappe & Willian, wasn't happy with the cheaper options.

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A Trippier Golovin Neymar
      B Mbop Pogba Trippier

          Ta

    7. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Holebas (BHA, bur, CPA) for first 3GW's then switch to Tomkins?

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure planning transfers for 4.5 defenders is smart

    8. willl
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Lovren or Maguire is a difficult one.

      Have Subasic and Trippier so would be doubling up.

      Englands emphasis on set pieces and Maguire being an absolute unit is swaying me towards him.

      Opinions?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Can't afford Tripp?

        1. Super Silva Haze
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          He already has Tripp.

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Ah sorry missed that

        Mmm tricky . Maybe mcguire. Easiest game

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          In terms of opposition attack way

      3. Drexl Spivey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Maguire a differential at 4.9% ownership, Lovren at 23.8% - go with that.

    9. stat
        5 years, 10 months ago

        RMT:

        Gomes - Pickford

        Mendy - Robertson - Ashley Williams - Cedric - Tomkins

        Mane - David Silva - Sigurdsson - Mkhitaryan - Cairney

        Aubameyang - Firmino - Zaha

        1. stat
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Gomes will be Foster once he's added

            Limited transfers in the Sky game. Nailed on players a must so no Janmaats or Bradys.

            1. lugs
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              its an early draft , but Janmaat was ahead of Kiko towards the end of last season and Brady was nailed before his injury , pre season should tell us more of how the managers are thinking

              1. badgerboy
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                Yeah pre season should answer some questions.

        3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Hoping Sanchez (10.5m) can hit the heights of his 16/17 season

            I was tempted for a second... then tempered who his manager is 🙁 defenders do better under Jose

          Best 6.5 and under mid? (WC)

                6.6 for Golovin?

        5. Firmino
          • 8 Years

          A) Kane, Golovin, Trippier
          B) Kane, Willian, Pavard
          C) Neymar, Lingard, Pavard

          Also drop one of:
          1) Hazard
          2) Lukaku

          For Kane/Neymar

          1. Neves say Neves

          Comes down to Mane+Firmino or Salah+6mST

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            If you could stretch to 6.5 striker Josh King looks good... I could never go without Bobby though!

              • 7 Years

              I'm going with Mane+Firmino currently

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            • 14 Years

            I'm tempted with Moses actually

          WTF!!! I’m on hols. Assumed FPL launch a couple of weeks away, after World Cup! Not logged on to FFS, taking FPL mental break. Suddenly spotted tweets about launch! Nearly missed opening day league! Crap FPL number but it’s final number that counts. Is this launch early/unexpected?!

            Azpi over Alonso?
            Emerson could compete with Alonso

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

              If Conte stays, Alonso is nailed in my team.

                • 7 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                What even is the conte situation I thought Chelsea had it in for him why is he surviving?

            2. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Could do the double as I did most of last season. Probably kept me in the game more than I even realise.

          • Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            The new Watford manager is apparently very defensive, likes to keep things tight. He's the man that beat Barca 1-0 with Malaga.

            Ben Foster could be a decent option if he comes in at 4.5m, as expected. Whereas options like Deulofeu may be hindered.

            1. badgerboy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Completely forgot they have another new manager.

            2. Drexl Spivey
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              What's his usual formation?

              1. Piggs Boson
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                442 with two DMs. Think Ranieri's Leicester. Will keep the two banks of 4 close together, and narrow, and try to hit on the break.

                1. Piggs Boson
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 10 months ago

                  Actually, Andre Gray could turn out to be a decent option. His pace will be lethal on the counter.

                  1. Piggs Boson
                    • 12 Years

                      That would be incredible for FPL. Will watch pre-season like a hawk.

              Are you sure he will start.?

              Gomes is a bit of a hero for them

                  Last season he lost his place to Karnezis who was loaned in, so I get the feeling that Foster is going to replace Gomes

                • Piggs Boson
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 10 months ago

                  There's rumours of Gomes leaving. They have a promising 19-year old in Dahlberg, so I think they wanted a veteran like Foster to come in and tutor him until he's ready to take over.

                  Bernardo's a left back. Schelotto a right back.

                  1. Ask Yourself

                    5 years, 10 months ago

                    Bernardo was forced to play left back out of necessity. He is primarily a right back. We could perhaps see rotation everywhere as he can play both. Either way best to ignore.

                    1. badgerboy

                      5 years, 10 months ago

                      He looks very comfortable for a guy forced to play there. Schelotto looked really good when he got into the Brighton team, Bong didn't look as good. But that's just my eye test.

                  Could you stretch Sané to KDB by doing Kun>Vardy that way you keep City ultra nailed attacking points. Then you have 1.5m to look at maybe someone like Siggy, Groß, Mili or Theo instead of Neves/Deulofeu

                  I like it although I am very doubtful about Burnley this year especially with the stress of Europa league on such a small squad. Barnes could swapped for a better option for me.

                      That's a good thing. Hopefully plenty have him at the start not realising he won't be there and sell him so he's cheaper when he's available.

                I’m actually considering getting both Zaha and Arnautovic.
                Anyone else thinking along these lines?

                  Before the game opened I had planned to get them both in my midfield. Now I just have Zaha. Took many decent options in the striker spots this year for me with Aguero guaranteed for me at the start.

                  Zaha for sure. Arnie on the watchlist, but will have to see how Pellegrini uses him before commiting

                  1. OldBenKenobi
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 10 months ago

                    I would like to think Pellegrini does his home work and see how well he did up front last season and uses him the same way

                    1. Haggis
                      • 8 Years
                      5 years, 10 months ago

                      He should indeed, but with a player like Arnie I'd want to know that the new player-manager chemistry is all hunky-dory before he get's a spot.

                  Bollocks I forgot about Arnie. Back to the drawing board. Although with Moyes gone, will Arnie still be the main man?

                    Plus I want at least two of Aguero / Firmino / Auba

                        Arsenal’s opening two fixtures not put you off starting with Auba?

                            No, Man City will probably be without a lot of their defenders for the first game due to the WC and I don't see why he can't score against Chelsea

                        • 14 Years

                        I was tempted by Zaha but he’s going to lose 10 points straight away from clean sheets... Mili might be a better pick as he’ll hoover up all the pens & DFK’s from Zaha getting fouled

                        1. Smurf
                          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                          5 years, 10 months ago

                          Is 10 points really that much in the scheme of things? The fact he is 7m and not 8m as I thought he would be as a minimum, makes him a worthy consideration for me.

                          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                            • 14 Years

                            Very true, he could be a great pick yet & I may have to try to fit him in... Mili looks too good to be true though at 6.5.

                            Overall, I think 3 Palace is very viable this year, they will be flying under Woy

                        Arnie, yeah. I'm just a bit puzzled about the penalty situation there. Seems a bit silly having Noble on duty with the former in their ranks.

                      Aguero / Aubameyang / Zaha

                      Speroni / Cedric / Stephens / Schelotto

                      Walcott not the most inspiring but if he looks good under Silva in preseason he could be worth giving one last try.

                        Walcott will be one of my pallbearers, never getting again. The list includes Harry Kane of all people. Sick of the latter's captain fails and also shoulder gate.

                        Great minds think alike 🙂 the thing with Theo is, he is a shite player, there is no two ways about it. HOWEVER. he also has braces and hattricks in him against any opposition on his day. He just needs to be priced low enough that it’s not a big deal if he goes a few games with blanks, and at 6.5 I think that’s about right for him, combine it with Everton’s nice fixtures & being classified as a mid & he is so worth a punt. If it doesn’t work out after 4 or 5 games he can be flogged to someone else in that range anyway!

                          Completely how I feel. I'm not committing to him for the season but there may be upside in starting with him for the fixtures and then swapping him for whichever mid around his price emerges as worth getting.

                          Yeah I suppose he is. I had completely forgotten about him. Although I expect TAA to be first choice he may be a rotation risk. Plenty of 4.5 defenders appeal though and would save me 0.5m in the bank too.

                            The only issue I have is Cairney. 5 goals last season in the Championship just isn't enough imo.

                        Looking strong.

                        Doesn’t Arsenal’s opening two fixtures put you off Auba?

                        I’m thinking of starting with Firmino over Auba and save 1.5ITB to do firm to Auba after GW2.

                          I never want to have a planned transfer to start the season off. There are always enough variables to navigate without being a transfer down. For two fixtures it doesn’t really bother me, not to mention he could easily score in at least one.

                      KDB no price rise at 10m starting?!! Yet Sterling jumps massively to 11 - huh??! Got to be a steal at 10!

                      Strange decision to not hike his price.

                        Yep, trying to think of a way to get KDB locked in for the season... unfortunately I think it means no Salah

                          Is that such a bad thing though? I think it's gonna be really hard for salah to be value for money

                      Is Ashley Young a good option? Haven't seen him mentioned much on here, surely United will sign a new left-back this summer?

                        The fact that he won’t be nailed is putting me off, if he was nailed he’d be a great option

                        They may do, but there's fears Luke Shaw may eat him.

                        Might be rested due to WC
