ScoutCast Episode 264 – FPL bandwagons to jump on or avoid

Buoyed by some impressive scores from the opening day, the Scoutcast crew are in optimistic mood as they tackle the key issues facing Fantasy managers ahead of Gameweek 2.

I’m joined by Andy, Az and new Scoutcast face Neale (aka Skonto Rigga) to separate the wheat from the chaff in the Fantasy Premier League’s transfer market.

We ponder whether reports of the demise of forwards have been greatly exaggerated and list the under-performing players from Gameweek 1 who may well punish their sellers.

Our rough with the smooth round-up features a tale of two benches.

While later in the show I come under attack from my colleagues, and even a moth, as we search for this season’s budget midfield gem.

We end by revealing our Captain choices when Neale unleashes one of the most surprising armband selections the Scoutcast has ever seen. It caps an impressive debut to remember for both him and the moth.

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

    Mark has got a decent squad of players. I reckon he should bench Mendy this time, Hudds are due a goal.

      It blows my mind that people are considering a non-KDB transfer right now. It's not as if the template didn't hold up. There was a Jota > Maddison question on the previous article and it makes me want to go read a book or something less likely to make me shoot myself.

    With KDB injured (and probably dropping in price) I need to make my decision on who to bring in

    A) KDB --> B Silva/Mahrez
    B) KDB --> Hazard, King to Wilson to free up 0.5m (can be done next week)
    C) KDB --> Sterling, King to Jiminez
    D) Other

    Any help is appreciated 🙂

    Unai Emery admits to having once picked his starting 11 by rolling dice: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/unai-emery-arsenal-profile-wenger-almeria-sevilla-valencia-long-read-watch-video-who-is-a8489691.html

    "So Unai Emery, the young coach who had guided Los Rojiblancos to the promised land in his first season in charge, plucked a dice from his pocket. This, he told his wide-eyed charges, was how he was going to pick the team. Not because he hadn't spent months planning and tweaking every last detail in preparation for the campaign – the devil, for Emery, has always resided in the details – but because his trust in every single one of them was unshakeable. So he rolled."

    "I wanted to show them that I didn't care who was going to play," he later revealed in an interview with French magazine So Foot. "It didn't really matter which players were on the pitch, because we were going to win anyway. I was that confident."

      He also didn't start against Man Utd at home but he came on as a sub. This was near the end of the season where he had been suffering with a knee injury so that might explain why he didn't start that game.

      However, the season before, he was rotated 6 times in the league - 4 times at home, 2 times away.

        Unless I double up in City defence which might be easier just lesser attacking return than a midfielder

            Leicester fan, he won't play there most of the time. The current theory is that him and Amartey will line up on the right flank in games that we need to be defensively more organised, which is basically the ones one would usually bench him for. Even as a fullback he is very attacking however
