ScoutCast Extra Time – How Mark is playing Gameweek 2

In the first edition of ScoutCast Extra Time, Joe finds out how Gameweek 1 went for Mark, and how he intends to play Gameweek 2. You can watch the video below or on our YouTube channel.

Spurred on by 72 points but with 30 on his bench from the opening round of fixtures, he is keeping his captain’s armband on Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) for Liverpool’s trip to Crystal Palace. However, he does admit to being worried about the potential damage inflicted by Sergio Aguero (£11.0m).

Benjamin Mendy (£6.0m) will slot into Mark’s first XI for a home match against Huddersfield Town, as it was the Frenchman who made up 50 percent of the bench opening weekend bench score. In fact, Mark went as far as to say he will never bench Mendy again.

On the transfer front, Sutherns Comfort look set to hold firm this week, enabling two free moves and perhaps a “mini Wildcard” for Gameweek 3. With that in mind, the pair tentatively look ahead to assess the possible options.

    Anyone not watching Cardiff-Newcastle because Peltier is not involved?

    1. Texas Pete
      • 10 Years

      Not watching cos I have no players.

        Feel good about it...

      Will be a drab as not a spectacle fplwise and even footbal wise. Spurs v Fulham/Che vs Ars/ City vs Hud/Cpl vs Liv willbe the gems this week

      No players playing here.

    i guess giving Jesus some game time in an easy fixture and maybe Dilva as well is not hard to understand.

    1. barracuda

      He could drop Gundo, start Kun and Jesus. Later withdraw Jesus and deploy Silva + Sane for Mahrez...

    Mods: We make things hot topics based on the number of likes they recieve.

    Well thats clearly rubbish. 😀

    Wish Mark brings back the preamble in writing form. He writes so well it reads like poetry. Agreed Video saves time but somethings are always best left untouched. Hope any mods listening make him consider it. Atleast in those Gws when the gap is 5days and above

        Well said Ginkapo. Gave u an upvote. Maybe a polished David is the antidote we need

    Doherty first of the bench. Good or bad? (peltier fail)

    1. BadgersBoys
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Good.

      1. barracuda

        Cheers mate, let's see if they learned something from GW1.

  6. R.C

    Sanchez big big differential this GW

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years

      Kane

      1. mcrayeps
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        this.. but my rival captain salah instead of Kane.. should i lol @ him?

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Nah, it was logical. He was too rusty last round. But he will score one today.

    I wouldn’t be worried if I was a Peltier player, the sub will almost certainly score more than he would.

    I would be worried if I was an owner that I thought he was a good buy in the season unless he was my 3rd sub rotting OTB.

    Is the Aguero news nailed on? If it is I'm never changing capt ever again.

    1. How I met your Mata
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I think so mate

      1. Texas Pete
        • 10 Years

        Bugger. Here's hoping for a convincing win and no minutes at all then.

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Ain't gonna happen. He will get involved.

    It hasn't taken long for Pep to annoy the hell out of a lot of people. I didn't think he'd rotate this early on. I know it's not gospel yet but I've read it in a few sources. I used my transfer to bring in Mendy so will have to bide my time a little before shifting Kun on.

  10. barracuda

    Let's hope Newcastle whip Cardiff (peltier owner/starter)

    1. Planet Head
      • 7 Years

      Heartily seconded

    Ginkapo bringing some culture back to the community after some of regula mods not that active lately. Hope you and BF jam up frequently. Will be super fun and stimulating post.

    Anyone else here went for Arnie captain? 1st home game against Bournemouth doesn't seem like a bad place for Arnie to get going with the goals.

      Hatty time

    I’ve got 2 issues:

    1) king dropping and not performing - worth swapping for ings\wilson\mit

    2) Mendy points killing me in my league, is -4 for Ederson/baily to Mendy/4.5 keeper madness??
