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.

    What’s the thought on Arsenal assets?
    Their fixture looks good from gw3 onwards.
    Jota to Ramsey/Mkhitaryan could be a potential transfer for next week

          The 6 not available against Leicester. Mourinho Thinks these 6 will all be out again against Brighton.
          Pogba, Fellaini , Young all have about 9 days training, returning August 6. Rasford 11 days. Thats the WC players.

              But ironically, all 4 of Leicester chances came from Shaws left back, Leicester right side. Two of the he could be directly blamed for.
              Darmian was outplayed 2 times early by Gray, but Leicester did not produce 1 chance from his side.

              Still Shaw is heavily backed to get another start, thats by norwegian United supporters fan site.
              His overall game was good, and he had one chance to score, besides his goal.

      Foster , easy decision , Burnley vs Watford is 2 defensive teams so it will probably be 0-0 or 1-0 either way imo , Leicester on the other hand were fairly impressive against Utd and i think they will score quite a few goals this year , while Wolves were pretty open at times against 10 man Everton so will likely concede a couple against a decent Leicester side

      50% of the game already owns him so, it'll take a decent point haul to convince those without to grab Salah.

      More, now WC's don't impact prices, idk if we'll see Salah rise more than .3 or .4 for the yr.

      Perhaps a more seasoned FPL vet like @Torresmagic can help us but, I don't recall guys like RVP & / or Ronaldo moving *much* above their £13mil price tag?

    What the least number of hits (points hit) you have take on a season.
    I average 20-30 (80-120 points hits a season.
    Zero tolerance to hits this year so wondering is possible to go a handful per season or injuries etc all hit?

      16pts last year and all hits were taken in GW37, rage transfers... 😮

      Planning to go with balanced approach this time, patience combined with occassional hits is important I guess.

      Need some luck as well, if injuries/suspensions starts piling up, there is no way to avoid the hits

        Yeah early transfers are good for price rises but can lead to a hit when injuries occur later in the week.
        The plan is to only take hits for injuries, have a 2-3 week ahead transfer plan and stick to it.
        It lasted about 8-10 weeks last season and then I went back to the old habit of taking hits almost every second week. More discipline required 🙂

      I have gone through seasons early where I would have had none but I never really had a full grasp on how it all worked back then.

      Since playing seriously I think last year was the least, just the one hit for the whole season.

      Risky moves, you will probably want Auba back next week and taking Kun out this week when he is a captain material is not advisable as well.

    Obviously KDB’s injury means more game time for Bernardo Silva and I understand owner’s content to have him. However, if you don’t have Bilva, for me, Gundogan is a far more attractive option to bring in.

    Only 5.5 million, so gives you lots more money elsewhere. Very likely to be a regular in the midfield 3 now as I can’t see Guardiola playing both Silvas there regularly and will have a more advanced role next to Fernandinho. Also, has a real eye for goal and is on some set pieces.

    Anyone with me?

        Bilva will score more, but don’t think Gundogan will be far behind for 2.1 million less, which allows me to get Hazard in as well.

      Am I imagining things or is it not all that long ago since he scored a hattrick? For 5.5m he could be a steal, wil probably be rotated just as much if not less than Sané, Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero Jesus etc so good deal

        Yeah, Guardiola mentioned his skill at sniffing out space in the box in that interview he did with the Sky mob. Much less frustrating when a 5.5 mid is benched than my current 9.0 Mahrez, who I think is going to make me fearful every week!

        It remains to be seen if any player ahead of Fernandinho is actually nailed. Think the minutes will end up averaging out, so stick with whoever you have, but while KDB is out, I think Gundogan’s minutes increase the most

          Gundogan in my opinion is the most at risk of rotation of all City’s front line mids and forwards, especially against weaker opposition

          The main reason of interest seems his price ... I have been caught by ‘getting the cheaper option’ trap before 😉
