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.

    Hold on Moura?

    If there was a good option for 7, I might transfer but doesn't seem worth it for a hit when Spurs have Fulham at home. Right?

    1. Bueno
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Get rid

    2. NestorC

      I am holding this week than will see it. Maybe Mkhi if he shows something or Neves.

      1. Bueno
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        2 points prediction

    3. noquarternt

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Got him in my draft team. Gonna wait for at least Fulham

    4. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Agree. With the injuries and Son out it's probable he'll start and at home to Fulham it's a waste of a transfer, especially when you don't have a particular one in mind.

      For that price or below I'd keep an eye out for Mkhi, Maddison, Richarlison, Fraser and Neves.

      Good luck

    Anyone managed to do Alli's new celebration? Saw a few people showing how to do it in two steps and I just got angry. Do you have to be disjointed or something?

    1. Bueno
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I can do it , just be flexible lol

      1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend

      I honestly don't get why everybody can't do this. Put the loop above your three fingers so when you turn your hand around the loop will now be below your fingers

    3. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      None tbh mate. I think fpl is the best by far. Some of the player prices on the sky one are weird

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        Just a matter of doing what you can.

      Just normal and two draft leagues with some friends.

      I did not even get a Sky team in on time this season but i always lose interest in that Sky game anyway.

      I would like to throw my hand at a few more games but i find hard enough to concentrate on FPL through out the season without having any other distractions.

    11. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      None, fpl is more than enough overthinking for me.

      • 8 Years

  4. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Sorry if this has been asked, but will kdb drop or is he protected by injury status?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Price only locked when moves from red card to no card.
      Red may slow down the drops, but the methodology is guesswork.

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        If he doesn't drop tonight then there's little point in them having price changes at all.

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Maybe. fplstatistics: "For a player to fall in price quickly i) teams need to be selling the player, ii) the player must be 100% available (i.e. not injured) and iii) the ineffective transfers must be low."

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He'll drop, only protected once the flag is removed I believe.

    3. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks all. Already excited for his return as a 9.8 asset!

  5. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Play Peltier vs NEW or PVA vs LIV?

    1. Bueno
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Peltier

      1. Manumana
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I have both. Im playing PVA. Peltier 1st off the bench

    2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Pva for me. Attacking fullbacks and premium assets in general always on the pitch, ask the mendy benchers

    3. The White Pele
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      PVA

    4. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      PVA easy

  6. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    With such a major fixture swing for the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, City and Palace from gameweek 3, an early wildcard could be an option.

    Players like Aubam, Zaha, Rudiger/Azpi, Hazard, PVA, Bernardo, Mendy could really prosper during this

    What’s everyones thoughts here??

    1. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A lot on here would already have the above mentioned players.

    2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm sure there will be more helpful comments (sorry) but I don't think palace have a fixture swing, they just have one tough fixture in a very nice opening. Lots already tripled up.

    3. noquarternt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Surely you knew this and made a team for more than just 2 GWs?

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Let me get this straight, I have 3x Man City But I would like chelsea and arsenal too

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I've seen people talking about Aguero>Auba before a ball's been kicked in GW2. Man City fixtures are nuts. Everyone assuming Aguero getting rotated based on nothing

    5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Nothing wrong with an early Wildcard.

      Absolutely Nothing.

  7. tabby98
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Lloris

    Rudiger - Mendy - Yedlin - Tomkins

    Salah - Jorginho - Bernardo Silva - Jota - Schurrle

    Aubameyang - Firmino - Zaha

    I have one free transfer
    Who starts?
    Who should be transferred?

    1. Bueno
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Jota

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        What? No.

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Save for now. But look to get rid of schurrle, jorginho and yedlin vs

    3. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe Jota

  8. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hey guys , need your honest assessment ,
    How is Bilva as an option going forward ?
    Thinking of getting in him for Lucas this GW..

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Very popular here. I'm not sure.

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He's a good option. Save for now tho. Always think saving is the best option going into gw2. You picked him for a reason so stick with him for two weeks at least

  9. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    1.5 itb
    Thoughts on Jota > Bilva?

    1. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Would do it if not any other pressing issues

    2. Bueno
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Do it

    3. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If he's rising I'd go for it

    4. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      no further thoughts needed, I'd say just do it (after Peps pc)

      good luck

    5. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      i think it's a reasonable move. jota is not one i'd be actively looking to move on, but withh the KDB injury I expect Bilva to offer close to the best value in the whole game

    6. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Big Yes.

    7. Supersonic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I did it.. go for it

  10. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Mendy (c) is mighty tempting

    1. Bueno
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Sucidal

      1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        It's gameweek 2. Far from suicidal

        1. Bueno
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          12 points max

          1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Did you see his two assists and how far up he played. There's potential for more than 6

            1. Bueno
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Two assists from one game for a def Pretty fluke

              1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                Did you watch it? Not really a fluke and that was arsenal. He has Huddersfield next who I think will be going down with Cardiff and someone else

              2. noquarternt
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                Haha 'a fluke'.

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      It is. I think I've talked myself out of it tho as I have Salah and mahrez

    3. james 101
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Would be ballsy, but not mad.

      He's in our teams for a reason.

    4. Gazpilicueta
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      he was very attacking, but he was away from home, teams tend to sit back at home

      1. Totalfootball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        What do you reckon will happen at home ?

  11. pressdpm
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Great first gameweek. Any moves worth doing or can I hold? Starting XI correct?

    De Gea
    Robertson - Mendy - Kabasele
    Salah - Mane - Richarlison - Jota
    Zaha - Aguero - Arnautovic

    Stekelenburg - Wan-Bissaka - Peltier - Cairney

        Thanks for the reply.

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      What's with the Mahrez hate? If anything, with KDB out he's nailed and even on set pieces.

  13. tabby98
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Start schurrle or jorginho?

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      How did you get yourself into that situation?

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Ha. Harsh!

        1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Haha I had to ask

    2. Bueno
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Jorgi

  14. Joyce1998
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    kdb and mki to eriksen and bsilva for -4???

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm guessing that you are a rival so its a yes from me

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Probably one of the better -4 transfers I've seen. Swap kdb for a free tho and next week reinvest where necessary

      1. Joyce1998
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        okay cheers, was thinking kdb to mahrez/bsilva or i could go for bsilva and then eriksen the week after, seeing how they perform

    3. One Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Can you do KDB to Haz or Mane ?

    4. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'd probably just do KDB to Bilva this week

  15. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who do you think will score more points this weekend?

    A) D. Gray, Bailey
    B) Moura, Keane

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ew

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      9 points on my bench then.

  20. One Man
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Pogba, has a better points per minute score than the like's of Alli and Eriksen. Given that Pogba is nailed and 1.5m cheaper is he a good pick ??

    1. One Man
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No one any opinion on Pogba ?

        There’s rumblings of unrest between Pogba and Mourinho but not sure if there’s anything in it. Other than that he could be decent value at 8.1

  21. OldBenKenobi

    Pull the trigger on KdB > Mahrez?

    Team below:

    Foster
    Mendy TAA Mee
    Salah KDB** Richarlison* Jota
    Aguero Firmino King

    Hamer Peltier Stephens AWB

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I have mahrez but I'm starting to wonder if the grass is greener with bilva and the extra cash. Mahrez should have set pieces however. You have a dilemma because you need to get rid of kdb asap and only have one weeks data to go on

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah. Lots going Silva but I’m not convinced. Everyone was bumming and blowing about Mahrez preseason and dunno what’s changed to put people off him? Good differential too as he’s low TSB%

        1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          True. I'm not put off especially if he does lock down the set pieces

          1. OldBenKenobi
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah surely he’s all over them now?

      2. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I could go Eriksen but kind of fancy the City fixtures more and risk potential rotation....

    2. ScratchingTheMud
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think Bilva may be a better long term pick, but that's just me. Pogba is another option. You can then use spare cash upgrade Mee to Robertson/PVA next week and even King to Zaha

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Just because a player is nailed doesn’t always make him a good pick. I still need convincing that he’s good compared to Mahrez etc....

        1. ScratchingTheMud
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Last year Dilva scored 5.88 points per game in ostensibly the same position. Bernardo has goals and assists in pre-season, an assist and MOTM performance in the comm' shield, a goal and MOTM performance away to Arsenal, praised by he manager and he's 'only' £7.5m....

          Last season's attacking returns per minutes on the pitch:

          Dilva 121.55
          Bernardo 137.63

          There's every indication that not only is Bernardo a likely route into the starting XI but he offers good value for the £ investment

          1. OldBenKenobi
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            But Mahrez is a sexier pick right? 😉

            1. ScratchingTheMud
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Hahaha

              Nah, that would be Luke Chadwick but he's sadly retired and not on the game

              1. OldBenKenobi
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                😆

        2. I Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          How is Mahrez any more convincing though? Hooked before the hour mark last game and competing with Sane and Sterling in the wide attacking positions. He's no longer the main man like he was at Leicester.

  22. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A Coleman, Mahrez & Tosun
    Or
    B Keane, Bilva & Vardy

    Mourinho's tactics are outdated and he's got a massive ego now that he didn't show in his early days as a manager. This thing of publicly calling out the players after they lose is not going to work in this day and age. He does himself no favours with his attitude towards the media either. Can't see him lasting the full season.

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      His record speaks for itself.

      **** the media they only a pack of dogs anyway and considering some of the stuff they write about him he is very well behaved towards them.

      United are obliviously short a few players but that is not so much Jose's fault but more Ed Woodward's. Fred looks like a good addition and don't be surprised if United and Jose are in among the silverware again by seasons end.

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I agree that United are short a couple players but they've spent a ton of money in Jose's time in charge. Guardiola and Klopp would get a lot more out of that squad.

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Ed Woodward is the one signing the players and managers for that matter so the blame lays at his feet.

      2. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I dunno, I can't see them challenging for the premier league anyway, those defensive tactics won't win you a 38 game premier league season given they're up against the more attacking teams like City and Liverpool. You can't win every game 1-0. They could do alright in the cups though.

        The fact is the board didn't back him this summer and I agree the media are a pack of dogs but he seems to attract this attention more than other managers due to his negative tactics and arrogance. This causes fan unrest whether it's misguided or not.

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Jose tightened the ship a lot at United and brought back some of that fortress mentality to Old Trafford which needed to be done.Hopefully this season they can be a bit more expansive.

          I don't think United are ready to win the league yet but as long as they are in the top 3 or 4 and stop Liverpool from winning it the fans should be happy enough.

          When you are one of the best at what you do you can afford to be a bit arrogant,just look at some the greats from the past such as Brian Clough,Fergie,LVG etc. etc.

          1. panda07
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            One of my points is that these days the players have much more power and the arrogance and calling out players in the media won't work anymore. Take this Pogba situation at the moment for instance. Also the bad seasons at Madrid and Chelsea.

            We'll see how it plays out over the season, maybe I'm being a biased Liverpool fan but I have mates who are United fans who agree with me.

    Current team:-

    Foster
    Mendy- VVD- Shaw
    Jota- Mane - Salah- Lucas moura
    Mitro - Tosun - Aguero (c)

    Bench : Patricio - Neves - Peltier - WanBissaka

    A) GTG for GW2
    B) Sell Moura for someone else (-4) ?

    1. Wakanda
      • 9 Years

      I did Moura to neves for minus 4
      Kinda regret now ... but I caught the price rise... so I suggest you not to do anything unless you trying to catch another price rise

    Cheeky Mahrez(c) or just too risky?

    1. Wakanda

      Good choice but do you need a diffierntial Captain now ?

    I would like to propose a trade to other managers

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Click on transactions.

      I can’t click those players that I want to trade.. am I doing something wrongly?

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I think there is a time limit for trades with other players but you should be still able to sign available players.

    3. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think that the league administrator has to choose the allow trades in the league option before they can take place. My league administrator didn't do that and we got onto him to change it.

      Defenders are always risky

    A. Salah
