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.

    Got to be honest here, Mark. Preamble is one of my favourites article as a free rider on here.

    And why the heck benched Mendy? You don't deserve him.

    Ah back on Aguero idc

      Cannot decide on aguero v Salah captain. Lots of press articles speculating Pep will drop Kun, but can’t find any tangible comments from him. If Kun starts, I’ll be gutted if not captained.

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

        Salah is safer

      2. Latch86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly - no sources to substantiate the articles. All rumours/conjecture.

        If you're not going to captain Aguero at home to Huddersfield, when are you?!

  3. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        wouldn't be shocked to see him benched and Manga move to RB

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

          and you got it right

  5. Cruiser23

    Play Jota (v Leicester Away) or Fraser (v West Ham Away)?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I feel that Jota will score

    If you guys want I’ll write a ramble starting next week.

      I'm alright thanks mate.

  7. snowman

    Would you Start

    Peltier or Ings?

    1. Latch86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ings, unless you really think Cardiff will keep a clean sheet

      1. snowman
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        thanks

  8. DannyMacdonald
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    After all this commotion Aguero and Salah will probably both score between 8 and 10 points each. Personally i'm going Salah because he will play the 90 and gets more points for being a midfielder. Unless Aguero scores 3+ i dont think not captaining him will hurt me

    1. Splatter\\\'s Omerta
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If he starts could score 4. Has hurt me before. Will he start tho? Agghhhhhh

  9. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Captain:

    a) Mendy
    b) Aguero
    c) Salah

    1. Latch86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      b) - all the Aguero articles seem to be based purely on conjecture. Absolutely no sources attributed

    2. Capitano

      Mane

  10. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Even the lovely Jules Breach is speculating that Aguero could be benched

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

      That's because it's possible he could be benched, like every week.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      She speculated that KDB would start GW1 too

    7. Podge

      Salah to anyone for a hit is beyond stupid

    8. European Bob

  12. Latch86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Draft query:

    Playing Eriksen and BSilva and dropping 1 of of the following 3... quick poll, who'd you bench?

    1) DSilva
    2) Willian
    3) Sigurdsson

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

    Aguero or Mendy for captain is blowing my mind

    1. Delph & Safety
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      SAME

  14. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Don't really mind Aguero minute. As long as he scores 2 or 3, I'm fine with him being benched.

  15. CAPTAIN CRESPO
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Play

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pause

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      eject

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

    A) Neves
    B) Fraser
    C) Have King. or do i play both and king on bench ?
    Who to play this week ?
    Repost for some assistance

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

      B and C. I don't rely fancy Neves. It was against 10 men Everton.

  17. John Colby (C)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Would you play Fraser (Bou) away to West Ham or Bailly (Man U) away to Brighton

  18. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Really tempted to do Firmino > Vardy got Salah as captain, think he'll score today vs Wolves and has good fixtures thoughts?

  19. Waltomade
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Metro also reporting now aguero to be dropped
    What the ....

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

      You lost me at Metro

      1. Latch86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Metro's just rehashing Guardian's speculation

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

    I have an idea, which is that like we have stand alone RMT pages, we could have stand alone lol @ pages.

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

      lol@this idea

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

        Could you please post this comment on the lol @ page.

    2. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Love this idea

      An idiot crèche

  21. Mikey44
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    If my whole league has salah and I’m one of the few with aguero, no need to risk captaining aguero is there? He will be enough of a differential without captain given the chance of him being rested?

  22. CAPTAIN CRESPO
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Play one of these:
    A) Zaha vs LIV
    B) Masuaku vs BOU
    C) Van Bissaka vs LIV

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      a

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Prediction - Aguero won't feature and 100% of people will have Salah as either C or VC and it will all be irrelevant..!

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Or he comes on in the 80th minute for a 1 pointer.

    2. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'm thinking sub appearance.

    3. Killie_Billies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Spot on prediction!

  24. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    ITS DONE! 😯
    Nothing like a last minute WC done in 5 mins 😉

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You already had a top team.

      Was really no need.

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

        I was already on a -4 With two transfers I wasn’t happy about. More comfortable with the new team:

        Hart
        Mendy Davies TAA
        Salah(v) Sterling(c) Richarlison Maddison
        Aubameyang Zaha Arnautovic

        Hamer Peltier Stephens AWB

  25. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Random question related to my draft team. Who would you play?

    A)Morata (CHE)
    B)Gudmunsson (WAT)

    1. Jonny Sutt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry morata is playing arsenal

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

      B morata playing against himself wol mean own goals

    3. mash
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I have a similar choice, but with Ramsey as second choice instead of Gudmunsson. I say go with Morata. I think he's worth a go - no real indication he'll suddenly find form, but you never know!

  26. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    It's going to be a bloody relief when inevitably both players start and score about the same number of points

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, 2 pointers would be nice

  27. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Play one
    A Wan Bissaka
    B Boly

    1. CAPTAIN CRESPO
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      b

  28. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I’d recommend the comparison tool.

    Aguero v Mendy.

    All becomes clear.

    1. Latch86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Although that is only based on one game...

    2. MrFootieIsHere
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      The clarity: give the armband to Mendy.

  29. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Bench one:
    a)Holebas
    b)Keane
    c)Chilwell
    thanks

  30. C'mon the Fylde
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Chances are that Aguero won't play.

    Anyone tempted by switching him for Jesus?

    1. The Real Big Vern
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      chances are based on what?
