The ScoutCast Episode 265 – Difference

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.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday evening. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

        I'm not sure I would. I don't think Richarlison's underlying stats suggest he is going to continue to score as he is in the first two weeks.

    Owning Cairney but tempted by Kante, do you think Sarri will keep playing him in an advanced position?
    Since I have a midfield of Salah Mane Bilva Richarlison, there's no room for Pedro, so if Kante keeps being close to attacking moves, he could cover a part of Chelsea's attacking points.

          This.

          Whilst I agree that Kante may be a decent fpl prospect for value if he keeps attacking as he is, is there any point in having him if you won't play him? I would play Salah Mane Bilva and Richarlison every GW, so unless you have a cheap forward to rotate, I think it's a wasted transfer at present.

    Morning!!
    Have you guys ever let a FT go by?
    I am in a situation where I have 2 FTs and 1m ITB, but feel like I cant make any meaningful change to my team.

    Mccarthy - Foster
    Mendy - TAA - Cedric - Tomkins - AWB
    Salah - Mkhi - Bilva - Richarlison - Stephens
    Aguero - Firmino - Zaha

    I thought of the following transfers, but they are not making make much sense
    1) Firmino + Bilva TO Auba + Pedro (FREE)
    2) Firmino + Zaha TO Auba + Ings (FREE)
    3) Salah + Firmino TO Auba + Mane/Hazard (FREE)

              The obvious comparison would be with Mendy or Robertson. If they don't get attacking returns, they will still most probably get you CS points.
              The same can't be said about Alonso at the moment, I think

      I have Ings + 4.5 mid at present but the Fraser + 4.5 fwd option is giving me FOMO. Not enough to take a hit though.
      At least Ings rotates well with CP so possible to switch between the 343 and a 442 with Schlupp or WB.

          A great start has meant I can postpone the usual early WC. Have already taken one hit to renovate my team this week and very happy overall but Ings v Fraser feels like the only lingering question at the moment.
          Doubtless it will all come crashing down within a month.

    Help me lol

    Really really fancy Mitrovic to be very successful vs burnley this weekend but can only get him in for a -4 taking King out.

    Dont fancy King at all really his not even playing as an out and out striker when Mitro is a 100% a number 9.

    Is it worth it or hold?

      Personally I would hold but if you really want Mitrovic, go for it.

      Better to pick the player you really want and fail rather than regret later on...

        Also I don’t like taking hits but it’s early and plenty of time to make it back.
