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.

    The Guardian have made £5,673.22 on that aguero benched story according to analytics I can access as part of work.

    Just saying.

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Thats as of 10am this morning.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      How is that calculated?

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        AdWords averages. I’m not very technical and can’t post a screenshot or I’ll be in serious trouble.

          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 days ago

          Also I’m not saying it means it’s rubbish. Just interesting that clicks make such money.

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Using the price rise/fall algorithm, by the looks of it

      Just by site visits?

      Blimey, I'm in the wrong field of work.

    5. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Really interesting.

      Wonder how many 100k clicks it took for that and shows why publishing nonsense rumours occurs.

      Saw somewhere that something like 7% of transfer rumours actually occur...

      1. Diego Hazard
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Yeah but I’ve just realised I don’t have enough for Hazard he’s 10.5 not & 10 so I’ve gone for Mane

  9. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Jota to Maddison done with FT!

    1. BadgersBoys

      Seen it. Same old.

    2. Rafiki
      • 15 Years

      They're just fans right? Or ITK?

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        I have no idea, but no "according to Guardian" in this one. Make of it what you will

    3. Oven Glover
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      “...but I’m going to predict Gabriel Jesus to start up front instead of Aguero.”

      Another prediction. Nothing to back it up.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        I’ predicting Ederson start up top

  10. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Why we cant have deadline 15mins before first game?
    It would be much better for everyone. Today it would make no diference but sometimes it would be nice to pick captain who you know is starting. Takes out some randomness and bad luck.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Unfair for managers in different timezone

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Part of the game, although it is getting annoying with increased squad sizes and rotation.

    3. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Team lines ups are out an hour before the game...

    2. Baked baines
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Can’t see Pep dropping him and effecting his players confidence so early in the season!

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    surely have to c aguero at home to huddersfield?

    1. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 days ago

      Surely.

    2. Tshelby

      Nice one. I too wild carded this am. Very similar team but have Ederson as Man City defence coverage. Also have Aguero and will switch to Auba next week. Took out all 3 wolves which was a bit annoying but suppose can bring back if they start to do well. Also brought in chilwell and burnleys ward after FFS recommended them.

  18. Dele
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    Does anyone else think that if you didn’t read this forum you’d be unaware of the Aguero ‘fake news’ and just captain him anyway?

    Those who dare win.

      It's not good for the site. Puts me off reading at all when there's people deliberately attempting to misinform.

  21. MrFootieIsHere
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    I've been confident on Peltier over PvA this week.
    Anyone want to give me any thoughts on why to play PvA over Peltier this week?
    PvA more attacking yes, but Cardiff likely to hold at home to Newcastle.
    Liverpool WILL score at least one....

  22. Ha.

  25. the_arrows
    • 9 Years

    This last few minutes are taking an eternity to pass. Have (C) on Salah and don't want to switch last minute to Kun. Aaaahhh!

  26. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    I transferred out Aguero last season to fund getting Salah in on the gameweek that he scored 4 goals.... this time I'm gonna have faith in Aguero and captain him, which will probably mean Salah will score 4 this year

  27. Orion
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 days ago

    It will be C on Mendy... Let’s try 🙂
