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.

      3 mins before FPL deadline obv..

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I stuck with (K)un fwiw.

  1. Gonna mesut up
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I'm thinking Mendy is a safe choice in a way. Would highly back him for a clean sheet which means 6pts is a high probability. If there are lots of goals he is one of the more likely people to get an assist and that means a bonus point or two. Aguero is definitely a chance to score well but on the off chance he is on the bench, he would have to score more than once to be a better bet than Mendy. Could definitely backfire I know but could well be a nice safe choice in a week where there are no obvious captain choices (Kane, Aguero, Salah, Mane all in there I know)

    1. Stokelona
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed, the relative safety of the clean sheet makes his low threshold higher

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        funny how captaining a defender has turned out to be the safer bet. FFS Evolution right here.

    Sterling (C) 😉

    Good luck!

    1. Root
      • 14 Years

      Good choice.

    2. Gonna mesut up

      Jealous

      1. Gonna mesut up
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        meaning, I'm jealous of having that as an option of course

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years

  5. Mr. Blonde

    Tweet swayed me at the last minute, not sure I was able to make the change in time though

  11. built_this_city
    • 8 Years

    Can’t understand why anyone has Jesus or aguero

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Which is why you’re a silly sausage.

  12. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years

    Aguero (C) to shorten my lifespan

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sofa Rental for the Monday then

  13. odannyboys
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero - C
    B silva - vice

    Prediction - Aguero comes on as a second half sub and scores.

  14. MTPockets
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ok I crumbled on Aguero. What a wuss

      1. Kiwi Don
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Haha, me too. Captained him last year against a poor team and he got 20 mins, with all the uncertainty changed to a guaranteed starter in Salah. Now I hope he is sub.

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah not worth the stress vs likely capt pt differential.

      2. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No Peltier?

      3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          good luck! I bottled it for kun

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Aguero locked in captain. No going back now

      7. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, come on Joselu!

      8. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Panic transferred Aguero to Giroud. Good move?

        1. Elvy
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          the key words there are 'panic transfer'.

        2. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Excellent move, possibly the best move anyone will make this season.

      9. Davido989
        • 15 Years

        Played Peltier over PVA.

        Got nothing less than I deserved.

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I played him over Wan Bissaka

        2. jurgenklopp.8
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          doesn't really matter for this week though PVA will just come on?

        3. Yav
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Is PVA your first sub?

      10. ChadW98
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Why is Peltier not even in the match day squad?

        1. athreya
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Must be injured. This way sub will kick in. Better than a 10 min cameo.

          1. ChadW98
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Agreed ye

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        which the does Peltier play for??

        can't seem to see him on the line ups yet he was very popular on here.
