The ScoutCast Episode 265 – Difference

3,499 Comments
Share

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.

        That's why I did it this week ha, I just think Man U and Wat away compared to West Ham home and Cardiff away has a lot more potential next two weeks. Evaluate again after that if the decision was good or bad 🙂

      I did A. I just think Man U will want to react with at least a solid defensive performance after last week, wether or not they are capable of it is another question, so I see that game being 0-0. I think Arsenal have shown they can score goals and West Ham have not impressed me at all, I'm going Auba captain.

      You probably need to address Bailly, could see him being dropped after last week and you're already short on defenders, plus Mendy could even be benched with Pep rotation.
      Bailly to Bellerin or Monreal perhaps.

        That was my initial thought. But there's some backlash against Bellerin and he could get rotated with Lichtsteiner. Monreal is a pretty awful FPL pick owing to his extreme defensiveness. Also think Arsenal have looked poor at the back. Would rather get Luiz all things considered. Takes the occasional FK, good fixtures, can score from headers etc.

          It's not too popular around here but i really think someone like Bellerin or whichever standout defensive Arsenal option will appear in all the RMTs here soon, their fixtures are ridiculous.

    B) B Silva to Mkhitaryan

            And that's fine. I agree that Dilva is a better pick than Bilva, not arguing that at all, I just don't get selling Bilva for -4.

    Ah now, what's this Shaw flag I just noticed? He's gone now.

    That's it then, Shaw out, Alonso in!

    Now, I have two options,

    A.
    Shaw > Alonso
    +
    Arnie > Wilson

    or

    B.
    Shaw > Alonso
    +
    Fabianksi > Hamer (making Foster perma keeper)
    +
    Stephens > Hudson-Odoi (need a 4.4 mid to afford it)
    +
    -4

    Current team is...

    Foster/Fabianski

    Mendy Robertson Shaw Peltier Wan B
    Salah Mane Mkhitaryan Richarlison Stephens
    Aguero Arnie Mitro

    A is probably safer, but I want the option to get Zaha in for Arnie next week. It cost me more points, but gives me the option up top

    Any thoughts?

    I don’t get the Bilva love. Did bugger all week 1 until the very end when he stuck 1 in that should’ve been saved then done even less in a game they scored 6 and he had no part in any of them !
    Mkhi was constantly causing trouble in attack and if Aub had his shooting boots on could’ve had 2 more assists at least.
    But, whatever, I’m not gonna convince anyone that doesn’t already agree.
    As you were.

      Bernardo Silva has been outstanding since pre-season. Mkhitaryan had a poor pre-season and didn't impress against City. Half an hour of good football doesn't suddenly mean he's going to be nailed on or set the world on fire. I think Emery has been planning to use Lacazette from GW3 for a while, and that makes me uncertain of who will start this upcoming game out of Ramsey, Mkhitaryan and Özil.

        exactly that, even Iwobi is on the scene - Mkhi buyers may get 'lucky' but he is not even close to being nailed imo (he also isn't a better player than Ozil or Ramsey)

    Currently on wildcard and torn between options, as follows. The defence stays as is and I want to keep auba.

    Mendy/TAA/Alonso
    Pedro/salah/mane/mkhi/richarlison
    Auba/zaha

        Gracias amigo,

        What's your line of reasoning? I'm currently set on the first because I think salah is too dangerous not too own and aguero might rotate, had 75min first leg and 78 second leg but obviously a monster goal threat

        , but I'd also have hazard...

        Yeah went A Smith over Daniels initially as his attacking underlying stats were promising.. Thanks for the feedback.. Im set on A or B I think..

        Dont fancy hiding behind a couch for Liverpools games for sure but also love the idea of Alonso when none of my rivals have the cash for him.. Will hold off tonight and re-assess tomorrow again I guess!
