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 season we have seen 100 point hauls in the first two weeks with 3 defenders on over 20 points yet only 1 forward with 20 points plus. This game never ceases to surprise.

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      8 years, 1 month ago

      only 2 weeks now. Have faith

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      8 years, 1 month ago

      5-4-1 is the future

      1. EgyptianKing
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Alonso Robertson Mendy Bissaka is the future!

        1. Eze Really?
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Tend to agree. WB is gold and equivalent of a 5.5 defender. Only Fraser has similar value in attack.

          1. EgyptianKing
            8 years, 1 month ago

            If Bissaka continues to impress, in a few weeks he'll be close to 5.5m mate ahah

  2. Thinkering like a Boss
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I have 2 problem now. Mahrez price due to fall and Luke Shaw injured. I did not have a backup def btw, Wan Bissaka & Bednarek. Which options the best?

    A) Transfer out Mahrez > Mkhi, Hope Shaw start.
    B) Wait news on Luke Shaw and if out transfer Pereira (due to rise too).

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

      B

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        8 years, 1 month ago

        B sensible option. But A is a risk that could pay off

  3. DeathoftheParty
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What's happened with Luke Shaw? Knock? He fall out of bed?

    1. The Mandalorian
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Slipped on a kebab whilst coming out of the shower.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Poor hygiene.

      2. DeathoftheParty
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If a guy does that once, it can happen. But there comes a time in a man's life when he has to stop bringing his kebab meat into the bathroom.

  4. WOLVES AY WE
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Am I crazy for thinking Schlupp has a more than great chance of outscoring Zaha most weeks? OOP attacking role, clean sheet bonus, 2.5 cheaper, what am I missing?

    1. InTommyWeTrust
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Place isn’t secure

    2. The Mandalorian
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pass me that spliff!

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes crazy talk

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

      The bit you are missing is the fact that Schlupp is no Zaha....

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

      He scored his debut goal 2 weeks ago in 40th appearance

  5. SheBangsTheDrums
    8 years, 1 month ago

    On -4. G2G or anything worth another hit?

    Fab
    VVD Mendy Tomkins
    Salah (c) Dilva Mkhi Rich
    Kun Firmino Ings

    Foster Anguissa Peltier AWB

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      8 years, 1 month ago

      G2G for now

      1. SheBangsTheDrums
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Who would you be looking to ship next? Need to get Alonso in so Firmino's head is on the block!

        1. Thinkering like a Boss
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Firmino I think. Zaha not a bad choice too if you looking to get Alonso.

        2. FredrikH
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'd monitor Firm Bilva and Tomkins on that side.

          1. SheBangsTheDrums
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers! Yep thinking of Tomkins for Alonso.

            I've gone with Dilva so hoping he's not too effected by Pep's rotation!

            1. FredrikH
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Oh my bad. Dilva should be fine. Tomkins and Firm then. Good setup no matter what. Gl

    2. yakirh
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Play Fostet

  6. Khark
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I fully expect to be riding solo here.

    Harry Kane (c)

    Jones Smalling Lindelof Bailey

    No matter which 2 of the above 4 numpties grumpy plays, Kane will take them to the cleaners.

    I hope everyone enjoys the incoming Salah 2 pointer!

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck with that

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Clutching re Salah!

      1. Khark
        8 years, 1 month ago

        100% haha

    3. LSK
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane might perform but that won’t affect Salah’s output two days prior

  7. MrCloppity
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lucas Moura & King
    To
    Mkhitaryan & Wilson

    Free transfers

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

      Or Mitrovic instead of Wilson ?

    2. EgyptianKing
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Seems a good move!

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mitrovic nice too.

    4. FredrikH
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Holding King myself for one more week with a FT still available. Liking the flexibility if bad turn of events.

      1. MrCloppity
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Im almost set on getting Wilson. Im thinking lucas againest Man United could be interesting and have my doubts on Arsenal?

        1. FredrikH
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Don't doubt. Two goals vs the two best defensive teams in the league is decent. Fixtures easing up while spurs the opposite. Agree on Moura, he's looking sharp. Go Wilson if you feel like it.

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

    Rmt

    Set and ready for WC?

    Hennessy-Ryan

    Robbo-Alonso-mendy-Cook-AWB

    Mane-Dilva-Richarlison-Pedro-4.5

    Aguero-Aub-Wilson

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

      Not my cup of tea to be going without Salah.

      Low scores from Auba and Aguero this week with a big haul at Brighton from Slab and Your going to be wanting to tear your wildcard team apart.

      For a Salah less team it’s good though.

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

        Expect salah to haul big this week but then go quiet after for a bit, could be my downfall.

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

          Just realised my iPhone autocorrect called Salah “slab” 😆

          Good luck anyway though, like I said it’s a good Salah less team.

        2. Khark
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Do what I’m doing.

          Bet on Salah will ease the pain

    2. EgyptianKing
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I am still a Salah-team guy, I still see him as an excellent FPL player despite the very high price.

      Great defence. Great front 3.

      David - too much of a rotation risk for now I would say, or at least I think he'll at max 60 min. If he proves to be nailed, then at his price he is great value.
      Mane, Richarlison and Pedro - like them a lot and see great potential

  9. JasonG123
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is King to Ings/Mitrovic/Wilson worth a transfer? I feel like he could still outscore all of them.

    1. FredrikH
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sideways. Not my cup of tea.

    2. EgyptianKing
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I am keeping King for this GW, but definitely monitoring Ings, Mitro and Wilson closely. Disappointing start for King and the others seem in good form

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I moved him for Mendy funds. Doesn't look to have carried his preseason form in to PL yet, though he's always capable

  10. Ycfc
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Davies & Bilva > Alonso & Mhki (-4)?

    1. FredrikH
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bilva to Mhki and avoid the hit for now. Low scoring game on OT I'd imagine.

  11. Dave Dreamer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pereira vs Chilwell?

    Seems obvious but I was really impressed with Chilwell.

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just transfer who you like. 🙂

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Chilwell was fun last season. Little worried about Fuchs getting the nod if he shows his inexperience again. Pereira has Simpson as (no) competition, and he's Puel's guy (so long as Puel doesn't get the boot)

  12. UKG
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Neves to Mhki? - no other Arsenal cover.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Free ? Easiest transfer ever

    2. EgyptianKing
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Seems a obvious yes, however this game always tends to surprise us

  13. Zilla
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can anyone please convince me that Salah is a better pick than Kun this GW?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He is.

      1. Zilla
        8 years, 1 month ago

        convinced

    2. Dynamic Duos
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just go with what you feel is right both are stand out options, my money is on Salah because he is at home v Brighton

      1. Zilla
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think Salah will do well but Aguero will score more, Wolves didn't really show that they're good till now specially at defending.

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus favoured for away games when guy last season, though I'm naively hoping both will start again.

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        8 years, 1 month ago

        'when both fit last season'

      2. Zilla
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I remember something like this. Could you provide me the stats if you have em?

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I don't, just an 'IIRC' moment 🙂

    4. Thinkering like a Boss
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool at Anfield always into big scoring. Plus, Brighton have problem in CB. Dunk out, Salah (TC).

      1. Zilla
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Didn't know that Dunk is out, cheers.

    5. lfc1996
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Early kick off, when he blanks it will ruin the rest of the weekend

      1. Zilla
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Meh, remember capping Kane last year vs Soton for his hattrick 😎 but yeah could be a point

  17. adam28193
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Do we expect Bilva to continue in a deeper role?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Deeper? Look at his average position vs HUD. He was 2nd highest on the pitch behind only Aguero. I think you’re getting confused with the wing-back formation. I think Walker returns and Bilva plays centrally in the mids

      1. adam28193
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Who drops out for him?

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Jesus, and/or one of Gundo/Fernandinho

      2. I Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Finally somebody else actually looked at his average position. It seems like people just saw the lineup and assumed he was playing deep.

    2. LSK
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would be more worried about him starting or not. If he keeps starting he’ll get enough points to justify 7.5

  18. The Mandalorian
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Jose is planning wholesale changes for the Spurs game. Matic and returns of Valencia, Jones and Young on the left will see major bus parking.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You Shaw?

      1. The Mandalorian

    2. Dynamic Duos

      Keeping Eriksen?

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Think so, this wk

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      8 years, 1 month ago

      C but Pedro

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        8 years, 1 month ago

        could go horribly wrong if those two play though

    4. Richd
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Love the frontline.

      Awful midfield and bench however and the defence could be improved.

      I’d wildcard. But I must say I am also on WC.

      1. Richd
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Then again you’ve missed a lot of value in wildcarding so maybe not as clear cut for you now it’s wednesday.

      2. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'm happy with 4 of my defenders (excl Pelts), and was relying on a start from AWB in GW3 when i made my early moves. Costa is a problem, Kenedy has been frustrating (a 1on1 and pen away from 2 goals) but at least he's not got a retrospective ban.

        Annoyingly, the intention was to have 4 outfield starters that would rotate in and out of the bench - i.e 15 starters to cover City rotation etc. 3 wks in and I could easily field 10 or less this wk!

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

      Tough out of A or B for me.

    6. PvA
      8 years, 1 month ago

      C

  20. alfast1c
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen + Davies >> Pedro + Alonso for free before price fall ?

    1. Messsiaah
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Dynamic Duos
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mkhitaryan?

    3. KAR
      8 years, 1 month ago

      When it free, sounds good imo. If pedro starts.

  21. Emp
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else worried that Bilva isn't going to keep his place alongside dilva and fern in a midfield 3 ? I fear that pep will favourite gundogan to take up the pressing role which kdb excuted so well. And pep seems so favour Mahrez on the right if they play 433 or possibly sterling with sane coming in on the left

    1. Richd
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No I’m not worried. Rotation is part of the game, just make sure your bench is acceptable and ride the waves.

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

      No I'll assess if situation comes about rather than creating hypotheticals to move on most reasonably priced entry into City attack

    3. I Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing to suggest that Gundogan or Mahrez are preferred to him.

  22. PvA
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Does anyone subscribe to the notion that you could win FPL if you get an average of around 66 points per week?

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

      Yes. If your average is 66 you're on for a huge overall score.

      1. PvA
        8 years, 1 month ago

        A lot of people have surpassed that in the first 2 weeks

        It'll be tough to maintain that but it's a brilliant start for some

        1. Rogue Todd
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Over a million currently average over 66

    2. Rogue Todd
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If that is more than anyone else gets, yes.

      1. PvA
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Oh is that how it works yeah?

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Of course, that's over 2500 right?

      1. Zilla
        8 years, 1 month ago

        yep

      2. PvA
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, it's pretty crazy because that seems doable

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          8 years, 1 month ago

          My average last season with 3-5-2 was around 67 (about half the season). 4-4-2/3-4-3 averaged around 60.

          1. PvA
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I'm not sure formation is important tbh... it's about the players in the formation

            There is an article that went into it, do you want me to link it?

            1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Of course it's about the players...

    4. Richd
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not if someone averages 67

    5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    What is your opinion on Pedro starting next GW?

    I think he will, even if Hazard starts as well. Did good in first 2 GWs and it seems Sarri wants to still increase Pedro's confidence and returns.

    1. LSK
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Think he’s a starter under Sarri. Offers something different to Hazard and Willian with his runs in behind

      1. EgyptianKing
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agree.

        Let's see if Sarri confirms this.... ahah

    2. Podge

      Does it seem that way or are you projecting your wishes ?

      1. EgyptianKing
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Well I watched Chelsea's first two fixtures and was positively impressed by Pedro's performances, after a good pre-season as well.

        Having performed well, creating some good chances and materializing them with two goals, I think Sarri will still give him some decent gametime even when Hazard in. Moses, however, is a threat under my radar.

        Next couple of GWs will be crucial to understand how Hazard will best fit in that midfield.

        1. Podge
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I think he’s outplayed William and should start but I’m not Sarri and wouldn’t want to guess, I’ll get him in when it’s proven but not now

          1. EgyptianKing
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Yes, I understand your point.

            From next weekend onwards we'll be here discussing it!

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, i think he's a starter now for sarri

      1. EgyptianKing
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hope so!

      B next week. Don't hit

  25. Gorbitz

    I got 15 points out of Shaw but now with injury concerns, threat from Young and poor United defensive performance, Im thinking of getting rid.

    Is it wise to do;
    Shaw -> Peltier
    Jota -> Dilva
    ?

    Exact funds and 2 ft

    1. Udo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't agree with that.

    2. Pulisic 4 President
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Peltier may not play much going forward - was left off the side last week.

    3. Messsiaah
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Jota
      Upgrade Shaw for like Alonso

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

      Im downgrading King to afford Alonso, maybe you can do some kind of downgrad-upgrade move if you dont already have Alonso, Mendy, Robertson, maybe Trippier, Davies, some premium instead of fodder?

    5. Thinkering like a Boss
      8 years, 1 month ago

      One of worst transfer because of Peltier. Unless you have 3 solid def then yes.

    6. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw out is fine but not those replacements

      1. Gorbitz
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks a lot.
        I know the 4.0s is risky. Bench weak. But really do think Dilva could be worth it.

        Would give me:

        Foster
        Mendy Robbo Tomkins
        Salah Mane Dilva Rich
        Kun Arnie Mitrovic
        (Patricio, Stephens, wan-bis, Pelt)

    7. Khark
      8 years, 1 month ago

      By all means get rid but shaw for Peltier just sounds all kinds of wrong .. especially when it’s just to afford a rotation risk in Silva.

      Yes to getting rid of Shaw and Jots

      No to replacing them with Peltier and Dilva

    8. yakirh
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would consider upgrading Shaw to Alonso/Mendy/Bellerin
      And downgrade Jota to Fraser

  26. Zlatsabeauty
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Patrico
    Mendy, Robertson, Cedric
    Salah, Richarlison, B Silva, Mkhi
    King, Aguero, Mitrovic

    Subs: Hamer, Stephens, Shaw, Wan-B

    A) Would you take a 4 point hit for King to Ings
    B) Would you take a 4 point hit for B Silva to Mane or Pedro
    C) Leave it as it is
    D) Any other suggestions welcome

    1. FredrikH
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd save and start shaw.

    2. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽ï…

      leave

    3. Thinkering like a Boss
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing worth -4 except Bilva > Mane but I hold.

    Scoutcast isn’t the same without mark/Granville

    I love the other guys they all add something great but I feel the personable relationship we have built up with mark and Granville knowing all their moves and living many seasons with them is a big reason this site has stood the test of time against all the copycats.

    1. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      There’s very little argument or the same level of competition mark and granny had. Could be any podcast now, bland and civil.

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

      Are they both officially gone from the scoutcast?

      1. Richd
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Marks got some personal issues I believe. He did say during the first Scoutcast he’d come on as a guest but wasn’t hosting.

        Granville is involved in politics now I believe so too busy most the time.

        I guess people move on but I really did enjoy their rivalry and we can all relate to it.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 1 month ago

      With all due respect I simply can't listen to a guy who hasn't come in the top 170k despite playing for twice as long as me.

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It's funny after all the evolving the original Mark 'n Granville Pod is the thing I miss the most.

      Great chemistry.

  28. Greko82

    Who to play?

    A) TAA

    Or

    B) Maddison

    1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽ï…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      taa

    2. Zilla
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Would play both, whole team?

  29. ZakAFC_
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bilva or Dilva?

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

      Probably Dilva

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

      I have Bilva but he didnt do anything in 6 goals so having doubts, will give him next week though. Dilva rotation risk so not sure about that either

    3. Messsiaah
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dilva

    4. Tiamani Warrior
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dilva proven vs Bilva guesswork?

  30. Jayv807

    Would appreciate any thoughts on this WC draft. 2 premiums for each of def, mid and fwd but a couple of really budget options to fill out the team.

    Fabri, Hamer
    Mendy, Robbo, Cook, Duffy, AWB
    Salah, Mane, Richarlison, Fraser, 4.5
    Kun, Auba, Ings

    Plan would be to stick with this for 2 weeks and then decide if a premium option should go.

    1. Podge
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looks very good bar the goalies

      1. Jayv807
