Scoutcast Episode 263 – squads and strategies for FPL Gameweek 1

for me he has to come in, absolutely raked in points last year
albeit new manager, new team mates, and the start of the season can be different to a jaded end of the season
i feel hes return is too good

Get him GW1 and don't waste 4 points

will probs wildcard in after GW4

No plan 🙁 Maybe I should start with Aguero and Auba then?

If his form is better than Aguero then I’ll do a straight swap. If Aguero is also on fire then I’ll lose a Liverpool player. Liverpool fixtures turn ugly GW5 so between 3 and 5 I might get him. But planning ahead for transfers now isn’t really my idea, he may well get injured in the opening game!

I’m going with him from the start, rather than planning transfers when there may be a different bandwagon/injury I need to deal with - City game could quite well turn into a goal fest as Emery doesn’t park the bus and Chelsea press high under Sarri which could leave a lot of room in behind for Auba

No, mourinho tends to go for him if he HAS too,I wouldnt be suprised to see Rashford maybe start, thats how unpredictablle Mata's involvement is for that price

I would choose A myself. Burnley have a good few injury concerns

I'd still go richa , used to premier and good fixtures

I think Richarlison’s PL experience and relationship with Silva would give him the edge.

Either way it’s easy to flip flop to the other though so not a huge headache

Rich is so overrated in this forum. I have Jota. But it is still a punt.

I was on Richarlison and Costa, as I think Wolves may have good attacking points. However, due to growing uncertainties over Costa, I was able to upgrade him to Jota.

I like a lot the duo Richarlison / Jota to start the season!

Richarlison had 95 goal attempts last season (4th), 17 big chances, but 5 goals. No goals since last Nov? Mixed feelings...how has Rich played in pre-season games? Jota has played well ?

You made the right move mate...
Richarlison is SO frustrating!
I’d rather have a new, OOP player on great form(Jota), then a player with a lot of experience Not Finishing in the EPL

Jota smells like Michu so much.... dont have him atm

yeah, something dodgy there

Yes their MF is likely to be Kante, Jorginho and one more. Kovacic, Cesc and Barkley to compete for the third spot.

He's totally nailed.

In FPL terms he's going to be jog-on, you know?

Arnie, he is class

King to start with

King

Grass, green...

KDB & Agüero should be prioritised.

KDB unlikely to start GW1, get Mahrez but leave yourself a way to KDB

They're apparently trying to get Ings as well. I dont think Zaha is going to play up front this season much

Hope not as I want people to keep him

Will only start a few games imo

I doubt he will even start a game to be honest, even in the opening fixtures.

Fraser

Not much choice at 5.5 and 6 this year.
In fact there have been some price bands across the board that are completely out of options.
Strange pricing by FPL.

Wait for RLC to return to Palace today 😉

That's tomorrow - I've booked the day off of work especially 🙂

Transfer watch day today, gulp!

a and c

I'm on those two

King arnie

A and C

AB

Arnie and King

AB

Wilshire?!

Fraser + 0.5

Not much at that range. Hughes + 1m or find the 0.5

Stones

Laporte

I think Jonny can play both rb and lb so may be a case that Doherty is under threat. Though I think Zinchenko’s preferred position is cm and Pep just used him lb in the Delph mould

A is better I think. I don't like either sorry. Good luck either way

Lukaku is the only I want to hear about.

A

Tough one,i say A

A

a

cheers guys

Zaha at start then switch arnie atleast after west ham fixtures get better

Zaha + King?

Zaha playing wide apparently

Ive had this aswel, I was swapping Eriksen and firmino with Mane and Lacazette,

Went Eriksen and firmino, with Salah also in my team. Eriksen is consistent every year!

Had to many players playing against each other in GW1!

Mata is never a good idea.

Problem is United has not looked sharp in pre season. So its a wait and see for med with their attack. 6.5 is cheap. But if they dont score goals...

I was tempted by him for sure instead of Rich, but not game enough?

Hughes in my team to start

Hebstarted training 4-5 days ago why not
