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.

    What to do with this? I have 1FT and 0.4mITB...

    Foster
    Mendy Robertson PVA
    Salah Mane Richarlison Mhkitaryan
    Aguero Zaha King

    Fabianski Peltier Stephens Wan-Bissaka

    1. kennethrhcp
      8 years, 1 month ago

      save the FT

    2. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Save

    3. McSauce
      8 years, 1 month ago

      defo save FT or King to Mitrovic if you want to make one

    4. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      King out for Mitro then the team is boss

  2. palalmas
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Foster (Fabianski)
    Robertson - Mendy - PvA (WB - Peltier)
    Salah (C) - Mane - Richarlison - Mkhitaryan - Fraser
    Aguero - Zaha (Kamara)

    0 FT - 1,4 ITB
    Ready to go?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Your bench is super weak. Maybe upgrade Peltier to a 4.5? Maybe Cook?

      1. palalmas
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Upgrade bench for -4? Hm, dont think it worth it.

        1. kennethrhcp
          8 years, 1 month ago

          can you see anything worth a hit?

          1. palalmas
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Hm dont think so.

            Foster -> Ederson
            PvA -> Alonso
            Kamara -> Ings

            These three mabye closest?

            1. kennethrhcp
              8 years, 1 month ago

              na i'd def not take a hit! was just curious really as it looks solid

    2. Khark
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bench is gash.

      For me you should always look to have 12 decent options instead of putting it all on a starting 11.

      With Man City’s and Liverpool’s rotation headaches bench slot number 1 will be vital this season.

      1. palalmas
        8 years, 1 month ago

        AWB is the 12. player (except this round), and Peliter and Kamara will also get a lot of minutes.

        1. Khark
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure I agree Peltier plays depending on formation - so I’ve heard & Kamara the odd start and every other game 10mins.

          I’d sack Fabianski to Hamer and have Foster set and forget. You’ve got .5 to upgrade Peltier then... if you can find another .5 then I’d do ings but just my opinion bro.

          1. palalmas
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks for feedback. As long as every big hitter score points, I can do something like that, but Im quite happy with the bench as it stand and probobly use my free transfer to change big hitters.

            1. DJ1000
              8 years, 1 month ago

              I think your bench is fine as it is as your bench players are as cheap as possible to get all the big hitters in your 1st 11. At this time of the season all players in your 1st 11 will play. Personally I would have ings for Kamara in or Alonso in for pva.

              1. DJ1000
                8 years, 1 month ago

                But nothing for a hit this week

              2. Khark
                8 years, 1 month ago

                I’m sorry but that statement is ridiculous.

                Rotation has already proven itself inside 2weeks you cannot say with any degree of certainty that his 11 will al play every week.

    3. Penguin
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t waste money on bench

  3. FPL Mentor
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How we looking:

    Patricio
    Robertson Mendy Alonso PVA
    Salah(C) Manè Mkhitaryan Richarlison
    Aguero Zaha

    Stek Kamara Stephens AWB

    0.4m in the bank

    1. Khark
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Never a fan of 4-4-2 but this looks good

    2. kennethrhcp
      8 years, 1 month ago

      very nice team! i'm not a fan of the keeper but shur each to their own

    3. Dele
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’ll have the same set up, only I have Maddison instead of Mkhi.

    4. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good

    5. Shineonme
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good squad

    6. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Grrrrrr it's my team... only better.

      I have Coleman and Luiz instead of PVA and Alonso and two 4.5 keepers.

  4. Khark
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Gundogan at 5.5m ... talk to me people?

    Surely only Fraser is a better option at that price? Pretty sure Gundogan is free from rotation at the moment.

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good but not outstanding...u go in search of lucky points every now and then with him

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think he can keep within a few points of Bilva quite easily. Gundogan has previous in FPL, I remember him scoring a hattrick before, he is very under the radar. KDB’s injury has opened the door for him too.

      1. Khark
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This. Steady 2/3points then every 3/4 games a 5/10 pointer.

        Monitoring aswell.

    3. F_Ivanovic
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Fraser is straight up a better option - 5.5m is a bench/rotation option usually and it's impossible to guess when Gundogan might get some points but Fraser's will at least be slightly more predictable

  5. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone fancy Pogba and/or Man United assets in any form at all? Ive got 8.1m wrapped up in him currently.

    1. Khark
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m going to monitor Lingard when he’s back starting

      1. Virgil Hilts
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Monitor Lizard, got more menace

    2. el polako
      8 years, 1 month ago

      As long as grumpy feck is in charge of United I will avoid like a plague.

      1. Ambrosiana Inter
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This, avoid united

    3. Rash
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I've avoided all man United assets and will continue to do so.

      1. kennethrhcp
        8 years, 1 month ago

        same

        i'm a unt fan with 3 pool & 3 city players... says enough

        1. kennethrhcp
          8 years, 1 month ago

          *utd

        2. Rash
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Snap!

    4. Netley Lucas
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw is enough

    5. RomeluStormzy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Only considered Shaw and just changed him for Alonso

    6. Harvey 1950
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba would be the one Man Utd player I would currently be confident in owning.

    7. Fantastisk
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No

    8. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think Pogba is a decent option tbf, only trouble is there are some really good cheap picks this year

    9. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Lukaku?

  6. Ambrosiana Inter
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez brace in coming

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The FPL points Man City merry go round will continue this weekend.... round and round and round it goes, where it stops, nobody knows

    2. BadgersBoys
      8 years, 1 month ago

      *Sterling

      1. Ambrosiana Inter
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hope not tool him out form mihki and aubemayang

  7. Powell
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thought I was going to meet Mark tonight at a Premier League do. Wanted to see his wildcard team. Real shame

    1. kennethrhcp
      8 years, 1 month ago

      hey Powell, pretty sure I used to keep an eye out for your posts in previous season(s)… not posting as much? or I'm just not seeing them

      1. Powell
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Dear Kenneth, I called three ridiculously random things correctly left season and was called a fraud. Retirement was the only option.

        1. kennethrhcp
          8 years, 1 month ago

          oh jesus, now I remember (I think)… feck retirement! get back posting 😉

          meet anyone of interest at the event?

          1. Powell
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Great bunch of people, not “celebrities”... but real people are better than celebrities anyway

    2. BadgersBoys
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would say I could rhyme off at lease a thousand names I would like to meet at a Prem league do before I would come to Mark. No offence to the man, but hardly a premier league star... 🙂

      1. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Haha.
        Although you could say that you probably spent a lot more time watching/reading Mark than most PL stars 😉

      2. Powell
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It was PL partners, not a bunch of players drinking juice

        1. BadgersBoys
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ah, well then. I would have him up there then 🙂

          1. Powell
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Exactly. I needed to moan about Jamie Jackson to someone

    3. Pooodle
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He was bound to wildcard considering how much he had spread his funds around the front 8. There's a reason why the best options are more expensive and you can't just go with mid-priced players in every position.

  8. EgyptianKing
    8 years, 1 month ago

    At a maximum price of 6.9m, for a mid, where do you see more short-term (next 3/4 GWs) potential?

    Pedro, Fraser, Gundongan? Other(s)?

    1. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea fixtures look decent. So Pedro perhaps?

      1. EgyptianKing
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Seems good, yeah.

        Nailed, however?

        1. Horlicks esq.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 1 month ago

          This I dont know.

      2. Powell
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I’ve got triple Chelsea going into three fixtures from the hands of Sir John McClane

        1. EgyptianKing
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Pedro included?

          1. Powell
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Of course. He’s 6.5

            Or at least, he was

            1. EgyptianKing
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Think he'll have decent gametime, even with Hazard in?

              1. Powell
                8 years, 1 month ago

                He’s in.

        2. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Alonso and Pedro are very likely staying in my final team. Who is your 3rd?

          1. Powell
            8 years, 1 month ago

            My third did me very well in GW1... not so well in GW2

    2. Pooodle
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Apart from Richarlison?

      1. EgyptianKing
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Oh, yes!

      2. Powell
        8 years, 1 month ago

        The guy nobody is talking about... but should be talking about. Unlucky against Wolves. Turned it around last Saturday.

  9. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Also:

    A. Robertson, Pedro, Pogba, Ings

    B. TAA, Kante, Fraser, Auba

    1. FPL Jogger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A (although there may be better lower priced options than Pogba (Mkhi, Richarlison, Fraser) to allow you to upgrade Ings)

    2. Pooodle
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely A

  10. FPL Jogger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    0.0 ITB 2FT
    Foster
    Mendy Robertson Mee
    Salah (C) Bilva Richarlison Mane
    Tosun King Aguero
    Fabianski Tomkins Stephens Wan-Bissaka

    A) Bilva to Mkhitaryan and roll a transfer (0.5 ITB)
    B) Bilva to Mkhitaryan and Tosun to Zaha or King to Wilson (0.5/0.9 ITB)
    C) Bilva to Mkhitaryan and Tosun to ings and Mee to Alonso (-4) (0.4 ITB)

    1. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      C

      1. FPL Jogger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        My only concern with that option is that it leaves me with Ings and King as my backup strikers. Is that too light up top?

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          8 years, 1 month ago

          No

    2. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      C

  11. BigBarn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    My two fun facts for the evening:

    1. Ings and Aguero have the same xG
    2. Ings has a better xGI than Aguero.

    1. BigBarn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      per minute.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looking forward to owning Ings... big value at 5.5

    3. RomeluStormzy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just got him and mitrovic in.

    4. Pooodle
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wow - shows what a good finisher Aguero is I guess.

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn't make me feel better about having him 1st sub 😕

    6. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Where you finding this data? Can't find it. Ya

  12. RomeluStormzy
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone not worried that the Pedro and Mkhi won't start?

    1. McSauce
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      I brought in Mykhi, that said he scored and got assist vs Chelsea why drop him?

    2. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What use is worrying, they will or they won’t

      1. RomeluStormzy
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I don't want to bring transfer in someone who isn't going to play.

        1. Podge
          8 years, 1 month ago

          We can’t know, the delorean is in the shop 😉

  13. Gerci
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen -> D. Silva?

    Other MIDs: Mane - Richarlison - Mkhi - Cairney

    1. Pooodle
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Still not convinced Silva is nailed.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        the magician?? He's the most certain starter after KdB.

        1. Pooodle
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Well he isn't considering he's missed a considerable number of games due to family issues that could resurface. Ederson/Mendy/Fernandinho/Walker are all much more nailed.

          1. Licious Lizard
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I Think his son is just fine now.
            I just don’t believe he will have the stamina to play every game - Especially when CL arrives

        2. threeputt
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I give you Fernandhino ahead

      2. Gerci
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think he is with KDB out.. would also give me the exact money to get Alonso for Coleman

  14. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If you could only get one of them this week? Alonso or Ings?

    1. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso

      1. Pooodle
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed. Ings is a good filler and a good price but Alonso looks pretty important to get.

    2. FPL Jogger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso

    3. RomeluStormzy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      More of a case of using the ings money to get alonso

      1. Pooodle
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That's what I did this week.

    4. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hands down Alonso. I cant seem to get him in my team.

  15. Pooodle
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I know they don't necessarily put themselves out there as FPL experts, but I'm pretty surprised to hear that one of the Scoutcast members has ended up wildcarding after just one week!!

    A nice important reminder to think for yourself and not necessarily go along with views of fantasy football news contributors as they can just as easily mess it up as everyone else.

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wow that is faith in the team

      1. Pooodle
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah surely there was some basis for the GW1 picks that didn't fall away after just one round?

    2. Rash
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah.. some really odd decisions made.

      1. Pooodle
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed - I know they're only human but I think most people who listen are looking for advice rather than things not to do!

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The fantasy vloggers as a whole, in whatever podcast or vids you watch, have made some rubbish decisions this season so far.
      Some have been sensible but I feel alot of them are trying too hard to find the genius pick and taking risks as a result

      1. Pooodle
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I agree with that. I usually like Joe's advice because at the end of the day the boring sensible picks are sensible for a reason, and most of us want to get as many points as possible. Sometimes trying too hard to be clever and different can just get you in knots.

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He is my favourite of the usual suspects too
          I like his style

          1. Licious Lizard
            8 years, 1 month ago

            And he is by far the most entertaining 🙂

          2. Pooodle
            8 years, 1 month ago

            He also has consistently very high finishes (as does Mark to be fair), so I think he really knows what he's talking about.

            I'm still not getting Kante though.

            1. _figu

              It's all about how you want to play the game. d1sable himself said if you want to play for the OR just keep captaining Salah and be a dullard. At least he's being honest and not sugarcoating it. He plays fpl for the fun of it (his words)

              Az is my absolute favourite. He's the mixture of both sides. Not afraid to take risks and he's first one to say he got it wrong. But also when it's time to make those 'boring' transfers // protect rank or whatever he'll do that as well.

                8 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah very true - AZ also did really well last year.

                I do find it strange how people think it's "fun" to pick players that don't get you as many points as other players though...!

  17. Rash
    8 years, 1 month ago

    One reason I'll likely be keeping Bilva this week and banking a transfer is I have ings reluctantly on the bench. Of course there's the risk of a 1pt cameo..

    1. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Start Ings ?

      1. Rash
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Over Bilva? Only if I knew for sure he was being benched.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why not bench Bilva then?

      1. Rash
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Because if he does play.. esp if they return to 4 at the back then good chance of points.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm kinda considering having Salah Mane Rich *Bilva *Dilva with Ings first sub...1pt cameos would ruin it, but it could work..

    4. FPL Jogger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You could start Ings, there is doubt over some of the Bilva replacements so if you switch you could just get another benched player

    5. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ings isn’t a 100% nailed either

      Hmmm, very similar! I've gone:

      ederson
      mendy - taa - alonso
      hazard - mane - mkhi - richarlison - pedro
      aguero - zaha

      hamer - ings - pereira - wan-bissaka

      think I prefer the bench strength in case there's rotation elsewhere.

    What are people’s thoughts on the budget playing defenders in the mid term?

    Bennet 4.0m
    Stankovic 4.0m
    Peltier 4.0m

    1. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bennet I have no idea, but could be keeping his place.
      Stankovic I think is on very borrowed time, as Zanka should be back soon.

    Fabianski

    King Aguero Firmino

    Subs: Speroni Jota Stephens Wan-Bissaka

    1. Licious Lizard

      Looks good if you Don’t have a FT lying around.

    2. Fantastisk
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino-> Mitrovic
      Jota-> Mané

      1. FPL Jogger

    3. kennethrhcp

      any FTs left or money itb?

      nothing drastic needed, just think Daniels will need replacing soon.

      Jota maybe worth switching?

      Hennesey if he keeps his spot

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hennessey or McCarthy, imo.

  22. Naboo

    A King (EVE)
    B Arnie (ars)

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hughes

    2. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      King I reckon

      1. Shineonme
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No way bench King from them three.

      The clue is in their prices 😉

      1. Naboo

        That cost most people in GW1 didn't it? #AWB price ≠ points

  23. Horlicks esq.

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard has just entered my WC team. 🙂

    Boom Pow. Its (on paper) perfect.

    Ederson / Hamer

    Trippier / Mendy / Alonso / WB / TAA

    Mane / Mkhi / Richarlison / Hazard / Fraser

    Aguero / Zaha / Ings

    1. DJ1000
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What no salah? Hazard may be on the bench again

    2. kennethrhcp
      8 years, 1 month ago

      benching headache a lot of weeks there!!! formation?
      433, 442, 343, 352

      you forgot the pharoah

    4. Punty
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Believe mine is better (on paper)

      Hennesey

      Alonso Mendy TAA

      Salah Richarlison Hazard Mane Kante

      Ings Aguero

      Hamer Kamara Cook Wan-Bissaka

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It's Hennessey + Cook + Salah + Kante + Kamara vs Ederson + Trippier + Fraser + Mkhi + Zaha

        Not so sure - depending on captain choice, obvs.

        1. Punty
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Cook and Kamara on the bench.

          So its Hennesy + Salah + Kante vs Ederson + Mkhi + Zaha

          Salahmight outscore mkhi + zaha alone

    5. Robson-Canoe
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't call a Salah-less team perfect, but a nice squad anyway

    6. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      congrats!

    7. Twisted Saltergater

      Trippier > Pereira and Fraser > Pedro and that's my WC team 😀

    8. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No Salah to have 2x 5m+ players on the bench?

    9. Coaly
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ed to 4.5, Ings to 4.5, Trip to 5.5, Haz to Mo

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He might be going with Aguero(c), or Mané, or Hazard as other options.

        Mané might even be on pens when Milner is off the pitch.

    10. Shineonme
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No salah! ! Hazard will be in the bench and come on for the last 20 min in the next game. After that he'll start from the start in Gw4

    11. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If i had a wc.

      Ederson
      Mendy - trippier- alonso

    8 years, 1 month ago

    This is my first ever post, and I’d be really grateful for some your pearls of wisdom!
    1FT, 1.9 ITB
    Straight swap Aubameyang for Agüero,
    or take a hit on
    Bernardo Silva for Peres
    With
    Arnautavich for Agüero

    Thank you all!

    1. Robson-Canoe
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd do none of these, save ft

    2. kennethrhcp
      8 years, 1 month ago

      you picked Auba for a reason... wk3 onwards. if you think you made a mistake straight swap away.

      would the hit leave you with a weaker 1st 11? i.e. 2 starters for 1 (peres = neves?)

      1. Silvs
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Bloody autocomplete lol, that should’ve been Neves instead of Peres!
        I started GW1 with Auba and Aguero, and last Saturday morning I got sucked in by the media and got rid of Agüero! What a tool.

        De Gea, Hamer
        Mendy, Schlupp, Luiz, Daniels, AWB
        Mane, Salah, Richarlison, Stephens, B Silva
        Aubameyang, Arnie, Kamara

        Thanks guys

        1. Dave Dreamer
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Id improve the defence. Alsonso / Trippier.

          Leave Auba alone!!

  25. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How does rotating 4.5’s generally do compared to a solid 5.5 across the season? Am on Hennessy and Ryan but seen a lot go for Ederson

    1. clodhopper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ive got 2 4.5 not working yet

    2. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Varies but 2 4.5s is obv cheaper

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah just wondered difference in point returns as I usually go for a pick and forget

    3. DJ1000
      8 years, 1 month ago

      5.5m a lot to spend on a keeper who will get 6 tops most weeks. I tend to go for £4.5m goalies and look at fixtures

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        True, guess save points etc more likely with the two 4.5s

      2. Licious Lizard
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed. Also considering it’s the keeper from the highest scoring team.
        He’s been lucky getting the amount of points so far

      3. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Didnt DeGea sort of disprove this approach last season?

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It’s tricky to get right

    5. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Would like to know the points difference at the end of the season.

      I always do 2 4.5s and feel like I never get it right.

  26. EgyptianKing
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I am really uncertain of taking a 4 point hit to take Jota out and bring Pedro in

    Currently:
    Hamer
    Alonso; Robertson; Mendy
    Salah; Mane; Rich; Mkhi
    Kun; King; Kamara

    Patricio, Jota, Peltier; Bissaka

    --//--
    If I bring Pedro:
    Hamer
    Alonso; Robertson; Mendy
    Salah; Mane; Rich; Mkhi; Pedro
    Kun; King

    Patricio, Kamara, Peltier; Bissaka

    Thoughts, please mates? Worth??

    1. Shineonme
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I did. Got rid of Jota and brought in pedro.

    2. Shineonme
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You have the same 5 in mid and same 2 up front as me 😉

      1. EgyptianKing
        8 years, 1 month ago

        So I deduce you think is worth to bring Pedro in and take Jota out, for a 4 point hit. Correct?

  27. BON
    8 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea
    Alonso, Mendy, Robertson
    Salah, Eriksen, Richarlison, Neves
    Agüero, Arnautovic, Zaha

    Hamer, Peltier, Stephens, AWB

    0 FT, 0 itb

    Eriksen > Mkhitaryan/D.Silva/B.Silva? (-4)

    Eriksen is no longer on set pieces and is playing in a deeper position this season. Seems poor value for £9.5m and he's about to drop in price tonight.

    1. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mkhi

    2. Robson-Canoe
      8 years, 1 month ago

      you won't be priced out of any of those transfers so might as well wait until next GW to get him out if he doesn't deliver. I wouldn't take a hit for any of these.

    3. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      As no arsenal cover go to mkhi

    4. Shineonme
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I agree

    5. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't be happy with Nerves starting

  28. okan58
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson
    Trippier - Cook - Arnold
    Salah (c) - Eriksen - Mahrez - Richarlison
    Zaha - Firmino - Arnautovic
    Subs: Speroni, Neves, Cedric, Wan Bissaka.

    Any suggestions?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Upgrade defense

    2. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Erik to Mkhi is popular

    3. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of Fermino and no mane.

      Off the dome peice, I'd be looking at bringing in Hazard and mane for Eriksin and mahrez. Sacrifice Fermino for funds.

    4. Shineonme
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen must go.

  29. fis5061
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Want some Arsenal coverage so planning to bring in Mhkitaryan for Bilva with my FT. Sensible move or does anyone think Bilva will outscore Miki over the coming weeks?

    1. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It’s the common move this week

    2. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just made the move myself.

      There won't be much in it but I think long term Mkha is better and I don't have Auba

    3. DJ1000
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sensible move. Arsenal have good fixtures. Pep will rotate

    4. fis5061
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I thought it would be common.

      Agree it'll be close, good to have the cover when not willing to make significant downgrades/drop Aguero to bring in Auba just yet.

    5. Dave Dreamer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I just dont like worrying over the team sheet and who my sub will be.

  30. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any interest in Nathan Akè? He is 0.5 more expensive, but has always carried good goal threat. Bit of a baps magnet too, and nice fixtures. For those who can’t stretch to 5.5 there are worse options. I wonder does he have the edge over Pereira/Chilwell in the 5.0 group, or better to go with the Leicester guys

    1. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Go with the Leicester guys imo.
      Bournemouth aren’t exactly solid at the back

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I am intruiged by Pereira... but he looks like he may have gotten 10 weeks of attacking returns in 2 games & could cool off now

        1. Licious Lizard
          8 years, 1 month ago

          he certainly looked Excellent against ManU.
          Didn’t watch them against Wolves. But it’s a good sign that he Got both assist playing at the back and not OOP.
          Say a few people on here saying that Chilwell looked better overall, but I’m not the one to say.

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ake burned me three seasons in a row. He always tricks me into thinking he's underpriced and then underperforms.
