The ScoutCast Episode 265 – Difference

3,499 Comments

This week the ScoutCast crew are determined to bust the myth that they share identical strategies.

Long-term maverick Luke returns to reveal his freshly Wildcarded team which bravely went into Gameweek 2 without Manchester City’s hat-trick hero Sergio Aguero and last season’s points-scoring sensation Mohamed Salah.

In stark contrast, Az is continuing his march up the rankings thanks to his faith in this premium pair, and his resolve in resisting broadsheet tittle-tattle hinting that the Argentinian would be dropped.

David is also beating a different drum and keen to explain the reasons behind his chequered FPL history and how his fortunes already look better this time around.

That leaves me as the only dullard representative, armed with a bunch of ownership statistics, a goals imminent table and a dubious ‘camping’ excuse to explain my recent poor captaincy decision.

Our differing views across a range of key issues facing Fantasy Premier League manages ahead of Gameweek 3 are aired.

Our assessment of Chelsea and Arsenal assets ahead of their favourable fixtures is top of our list. And we also ponder whether Spurs’ players can compete as assets this season and indulge in some bargain hunting up front.

        Correct. I just can't see how a Liverpool double up through those fixtures will work. Chelsea & Arsenal will have field days in some of them and when they do it will inevitably be Hazard & Auba picking up the hauls!

          What makes it inevitable? Hazard hasn't even started a game yet and it's possible Miky/Ozil/Lacazette could take points away from Auba

            Ok, very likely. It is very likely that if Aresnal and Chelsea score a lot of goals then Auba & Hazard will haul.

      A heavy hitter to me is someone capable of multiple returns in a game so can hit 15-20 points and is a decent captaincy shout. They can land a blow on the opposition.

      Mendy and Alonso, I would argue, are proving that they are heavy hitters. 6m CBs who might get a few headers to complement their clean sheets are solid players, but not heavy hitters.

          Yes it is. I am keeping him for at least another 3-5 games before making a decision. People chase last week's points and don't look forwards and he hasn't scored yet and costs £11m. The only logical transfer I can think of is if people are doing Auba to Aguero in a straight swap.
