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, 8 months ago

      Get rid

    2. NestorC

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

        2 points prediction

    3. noquarternt

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

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

      I can do it , just be flexible lol

      1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend

    3. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

        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.

      • We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        None, fpl is more than enough overthinking for me.

    6. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

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

            1. MTPockets
                7 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

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

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

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

        • Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Play Peltier vs NEW or PVA vs LIV?

          1. Bueno
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Peltier

            1. Manumana
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

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

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

            PVA

          4. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            PVA easy

        • AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

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

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

            Nothing wrong with an early Wildcard.

            Absolutely Nothing.

        • tabby98
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

            Jota

            1. BadgersBoys
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              What? No.

          2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

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

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

            Maybe Jota

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

              Very popular here. I'm not sure.

            • Pub Crawl to the Townsend
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 8 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

          2. Captain Blanks
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            1.5 itb
            Thoughts on Jota > Bilva?

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

              Would do it if not any other pressing issues

            2. Bueno
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              Do it

            3. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              If he's rising I'd go for it

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

              Big Yes.

            7. Supersonic
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              I did it.. go for it

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

            Mendy (c) is mighty tempting

            1. Bueno
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              Sucidal

                • 11 Years
                7 years, 8 months ago

                It's gameweek 2. Far from suicidal

                1. Bueno
                  • 7 Years
                  7 years, 8 months ago

                  12 points max

                  1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

                      Two assists from one game for a def Pretty fluke

                        • 11 Years
                        7 years, 8 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
                        • 10 Years
                        7 years, 8 months ago

                        Haha 'a fluke'.

            2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

              Would be ballsy, but not mad.

              He's in our teams for a reason.

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

                What do you reckon will happen at home ?

            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

            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 ??

                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

              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, 8 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, 8 months ago

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

                  1. OldBenKenobi
                    • 9 Years

                • 9 Years

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

            2. ScratchingTheMud
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 8 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, 8 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, 8 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

                    But Mahrez is a sexier pick right? 😉

                  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.

            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

              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.

                • 10 Years
                7 years, 8 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.

                  7 years, 8 months ago

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

                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.

                  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.

                    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.

              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

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

              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.

            Who is the better Captaincy pick? Mendy or B.Silva?

            1. Wakanda
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              Based on pep comments, Silva is better
              Defenders are always risky
