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.

    So there may already be no £4.0m defenders? Bennett at Wolves will almost certainly lose his place with their options.

      AWB is stop 4m for me 😉

      You miss out on Obi wan?

    3. DeadStarComing

      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I have Wan Bissaka but he is now £4.1. It looked a couple of weeks ago like there may be 3 or 4 £4.0 options.

    4. Nomar

      • 16 Years

      It’s no big deal, really.

      Peltier will still be in contention to start, it’s not like Cardiff are spoilt for choice.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Actually they may be spoilt for choice ... the other right back Jazz Richards (Welsh international and 20 PL games under his belt) is on the bench 😉

    5. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      AWB's the only one I went for

      1's common sense

      2's pushing it

      3 is ludicrous

    6. Spokey
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Peltier is not even in the squad. Late injury?

  2. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Any news on Kun?

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He’s still finishing his bowl of cereal and egg sandwich.

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

    Looking at those line ups I'd feel better watching a league one game...

  4. FPL Puppy

    Flipped a coin, heads for Salah and tails for Aguero. Heads all three times.
    Did it again, heads all three times.
    Did it again, heads-tail-heads.

    Called my family, my sister answered.
    - Salah or Aguero?!
    - Who..?
    - Salah or Aguero??
    - Aguero maybe?

    Asked my father, he says Aguero.

    Finally, asked my mom.
    - Salah or Aguero?
    - Salah. No, Aguero! It has a nice ring to it.

    In conclusion; always listen to your family. And then blame them for your failure.

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 7 months ago

        "salah or aguero?!" My family would think I'm having a stroke.

      so whats happened to marks morning pre amble article......?

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

        it ded

        Or, Mark got a job. They will be doing FFS Breakfast Club Videos on Saturday mornings

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

        They're doing a video instead this season, but couldn't do today due to holidays. first one next week

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

          "It's also going to double-up as a video version of Mark's weekly pre-amble, which we have at the beginning of each gameweek" - Joe.

          This sounded to me as though the pre-amble is still part of Mark's plans. But I suppose it's open to the interpretation that the video will replace the pre-amble.

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

            Sorry, I'm confused. You say they couldn't do a video version of Mark's pre-amble due to holidays, but they did do the video. It's the Breakfast Club they couldn't do this week, right? Which is unrelated to the pre-amble.

      4. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        cheers all.....

        ok gink relying on you now 😉

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          😀 They aint paying me....

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

      I changed my captain from Aguero to Salah at 11.32 on my phone and it seemed to go through!? That second tweet sent me over the edge. Salah is still a great captain option so makes sense.

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

        time will tell

      2. In Bale We Trust
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        What was the second tweet?

      3. the_arrows

        Link to tweet pls?

    4. How I met your Mata
      • 10 Years

      hate when the early fixture is a poor one

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Me too. Such a bore

    5. No Totti No Party
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Last second panic, switched Aguero -> Mendy C

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

        Same

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I wouldn't call it panic I would call it safe and sensible.
        Think it could be a low scoring game.

    6. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Good start, Doherty off the bench for me. Who you got Peltier starters?

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Same Doherty in not a big diff

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          There's a genuine chance he could be dropped, looking at the Wolves forum.

          However a fair free think they'll play the exact same team. So, we'll see.

      2. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years

        Tomkins

      3. Geezer
        • 15 Years

        Why is Peltier out?

        1. In Bale We Trust
          • 16 Years

      4. Steirish

      7. SirStevieG
        • 13 Years

        Mkhi off the bench for me

      8. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Masuaku (if he even plays)

    7. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jammy VC points for peltier owners

    8. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      At the start if each gw, I'm more excited to see my next gw team in "my team" part than anything else in that moment

      1. Geezer
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That is what good managers do. Always look ahead. And Don’t care about what others have done

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Hope it ends in good result. Thanks for reply

    9. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      why would someone own a player like peltier when you already have wan bissaka?

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

        Think a bit harder for one second.

      2. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        they have 3 premium def

      3. CaTriEm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        To enable 2/3 premium defenders while still having plenty of funds for the rest of the team.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

        Bench fodder.

    10. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      stuart broad not picking any wickets as he is more focused on today's PL matches. Last year DGW37 No.1 in the world.

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

        Don't care for Stuart Broad. Rubs me right up the wrong way.

    11. Urchin
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      So who is your 1st Sub on bench (assuming you started Peltier)

      Kabasele for me

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

        Boly

    12. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Peltier 3rd choice at Rb now, not even on bench
      Manga and Jazz Richard are ahead of him

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Could easily have knock.

    13. Dele
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Playing it safe on Salah felt like the right thing to do.

      Higher ownership and we know he can score as well as Kun.

      For me in my ML I’m 2nd and the guy who’s top has neither Kun or Salah so I feel I’ve got enough differential eitherway.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        that guy wont be on top for so long without Kun Salah, so just play your own game, dont mind him

    14. Podge
      • 15 Years

      1 player today 🙁

      1. Holmes

    15. Net Gains
      • 9 Years

      Sergio Aguero does eggy farts.

    16. theroadrunner

        Murphy starting for Cardiff. Nice

        1. Jonny HOW SON?
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          both Murphys should have started. A nice little sibling rivalry

      • Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years

        oh well schlupp off the bench

      • Regin
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        this is my 9th season in FPL. (finished top 50k 5 out of 8 times & never below 200k) Never did I have a good start like last week with 95 pts! Never have I carried fwd a transfer after gw1 like this time. And I have always have played wildcard in gw2 or gw3 as far as I remember. Not this time!

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          do you know if Kun start this gw?

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

            looks like a 50/50 seeing some reports.

        2. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Look like your 1st season below 200k to me.
          Gudluck

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

          really thought about it, but went with safer option of salah at the end.

      • Nanoelektronicar

        • 11 Years

        Can't wait for update to set up my GW3 team and tinker wiht 2FTs 🙂

      • Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        People here worrying about Salah vs Aguero when the real issue was if Peltier would play

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

          😀

        2. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          mainly for Peltier(c).. lol

      • V K
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Which Newcastle player would you want in the near future?
        Kennedy is on my watchlist. Probably Rondon?

        1. Finnish Fish
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Dubravka could be a real deal when NewC’s fixtures turn great.

        2. Andy'81
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Maybe a cheap defender like Yedin or attacking threats like Rondon/Kenedy.

          I wouldn't touch any of them till the fixtures turn though.

      • Visionaries
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Prediction
        Aguero 1 pt off bench
        Salah 3 pts

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          13
          9

        2. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          You are wrong

        3. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Yes.. and Vardy - 10pts
