Patience is proving a virtue for the Scoutcast’s latest guest, FPL General.

With top 500 finishes in all but one of his last four Fantasy Premier League seasons, his track record of giving players time to perform has certainly paid off.

Undaunted by a poor start this season he is sticking resolutely to the game plan, with Christian Eriksen and Josh King already rewarding him with attacking returns last time out, while many thousands of others were jettisoning them.

He joins Andy, David and myself to mull over a tricky last set of matches and look ahead to Gameweek 4.

Replacements for Everton’s red card villain Richarlison kick off our community question session, which also takes in Chelsea stars, the seemingly unstoppable rise of premium defenders and Wildcard timing.

    Most likely to be rested when champions league comes around in Liverpool front 3?

    1. Il Papera
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I’d say Firmino on the basis that he’s looked lethargic (comparatively) and had a long summer...

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      This is a toughie. Liverpool will not want to take the foot off the pedal regarding the PL especially now that they have a real chance of winning it. I would like to see Firmino rested soon. Owner..

    3. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Firmino likely. I would even say Salah at points. I can see Shaqiri trying to fill that spot from time to time.

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Shaqiri coming in for Mane

    5. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Not Bobby

  2. Il Papera
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Two questions:
    A) Is it likely Pereyra will go up another 0.1? On wildcard and trying to bag said 0.1

    B) Moura or Mkhitaryan?

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Mkhi

    2. Pierce34
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      A) I think it's likely.

      B) Moura short term, but Mkhitaryan longer term once the Champions League starts, Son is back etc.

      1. Il Papera
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I’m liking Arsenal’s fixtures too, Spurs less so. Cheers, just got to hope Pereyra goes up but Mkhitaryan stays at 7.1 or it’s a pointless exercise!!

    3. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I went Mkhi.

      Was a tough decision so I let the comparrison tool show me the way. Mkhi comes out top my miles v's both Moura and Walcott.

      1. Il Papera
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I’ve taken Walcott for Richarlison too as I think goals are to come in their next fixtures...

  3. BinManJack
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    G2G?

    Patricio
    Alonso Robbo Mendy Schlupp AWB
    Mane Salah Bilva
    Aguero(c) Zaha

    Stek / King / Neves / Cairney

    1. Il Papera
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I’m not convinced by Bilva as a strong points source, Moura or Mkhitaryan?

      1. BinManJack
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        yeah im leaning to agree, however used both FT this week so will have to wait til next week so as not to take a points hit, gives me another week to see how they all play aswell

    2. Blanka
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Pretty much my team but I have Pedro in a five man mid and you have Robbo in defence.

      1. Blanka
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Oh and Mkhi over Schlupp!

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I still have to do that as well?
        Logging in twice each time. Not a big deal at all, but read somewhere you fixed it?

  5. _Greg
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Captain Aguero. Get Walcott.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Goes without saying

  6. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Views on best Man City trio to own currently ? Aguero and Mendy for sure and then one of Dilva or Ederson for me I think although Sterling is a tempting differential for this run of fixtures, albeit pricey.

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I’ve gone for Mendy Walker & Aguero

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Nice, I like that

    2. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I currently have Aguero, Bilva and Mendy but I have plans to upgrade Bilva > Dilva in the coming weeks.

      For me, those are the best 3 to have....at the moment.

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I think with this

        1. Team Bobcat
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          *agree

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I have BSilva as my third. Mendy and kun the other two. If I didnt own I would give Gundagon consideration. Especially as it would allow me a kun kane parnership. Depends on plans for the team I guess. But DSilva on his own looks enticing if you were not planning a big front two

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I've got Kun, Mendy and Ederson. Happy with that.

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        You not concerned about not having the option of a City mid with double defence ?

    5. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I’m on Ederson, Mendy and Dilva

      Not sure if that’s best or not though

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Personally I would not want to be without Aguero for the next few weeks, risky business.

  7. Evasivo
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Great Scoutcast lads! Though did I miss talking through Marks WC team, and fantasy island risks?

    1. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      My thoughts were the cast feels a bit more rigid now. Not a great combination of guests to pair with Jonty as host. Less Conversational and more like a panel. It missed Az a lot. My 2 cents.

      1. Evasivo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Maek Jonty Az Andy would be my choice, but nice that guest vary so viewers get different opinions and strategy to the game

      2. I Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Personally think Andy would be a better host than Jonty.

        1. Optic1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          He's probably one of the guys I listen to the most but that seemed to work better when he wasn't hosting and someone else was there to cut him off from stat rants lol.

  8. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Did Mark explain why he went with Sessegnon+Auba over Haz+Mitrovic on WC? He has made some baffling decisions already this season.

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      He probably thinks that sess auba score more than the latter.

    2. Rash
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      And has jonty explained why he's now Joe?

    3. I Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No one expected Sessegnon to be dropped and everyone fancied Auba against West Ham.

    4. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Not really that baffling a decision tho

  9. Rash
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Walcott to siggy -4?

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      🙂

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      That would be very "Siggy" of you to do that move 😉

      1. Rash
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Agree. Only a wally would make that move.

  10. Lambert Is A Goal Machine
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    any injury news on Arnautovic and Tomkins?

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I'm a Tomkins owner wait till pressers on Friday hopefully should find out more information

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Some ex WH employee tweeted that Arnie should be ok.

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        But there's always a chance he's just some random dude on twitter making things up.

        1. Lambert Is A Goal Machine
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          alright cheers!

  11. Homo Neanderthalensis
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Double Mini Poll:

    Ings or Deeney??
    Walcott or D.Silva??

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Ings
      Silva

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Deeney & Dilva

    3. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Deeney and Dilva if you can stomach Watfords fixtures.

  12. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    I really hope Mane rises tonight, need him to rise before I can get Hazard really. Best options out of these?
    A- Bavies and Mane to Hazard and 5m defender
    B- Mane and Bilva to Hazard and Fraser/Pereyra

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I really don’t think price will rise. Too may getting him out for Hazard and wildcards in play

  13. Rhodes your boat
    • 10 Years

    Rmwct

    Lloris fabianski
    Alonso Mendy Robertson wan bissaka Bennett
    Salah mkhi lucas Pedro Guendouzi
    Aguero arnie Mitro

    0.0itb

    1. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Drop Lloris for a 4.5 or Fabianski for a 4.0

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        And upgrade elsewhere?

        1. The 12th Man
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          To be honest the rest looks ok. Monitor Pedro for rotation and Arnies injury status.
          U could go Siggy or Walcott instead of Pedro.
          Otherwise leave the spare cash in the bank for a future transfer

          1. Rhodes your boat
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Thanks for having a look

  14. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Is it Bilva's turn to reward our patience?

    1. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Nice little reward before I ship him out for the magician.

    2. Rash
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Hope So but I can see him being benched

    3. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Hopefully. Im dropping for Gundog to afford Alonso though regardless of what he does next week.

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      No. It's Aubamayang's turn. Don't push in.

      1. THE Wild Rover

        Loving the number of sellers

  15. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    What do you think abou this

    Kepa
    VVD, Luiz, Mendy, Trippier, WB
    Hazard, Salah
    Mitrovic, Aguero(c), King

    Bench: Stekelenburg, Neves, Fraser, Masuaku

    1. Netley Lucas

      Brush up on the Alan Ford, especially the vowels

    2. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years

      Pity I can’t listen myself as I’m as deaf as a post. Giving plenty of others a good larf though 😀

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years

      Gnu doesn't like people who write in the third person.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I’m surprised he didn’t say We have our own podcast

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Highly recommended. TL is one of the few independent thinkers in FPL and the points he makes aren't the usual recycled cliches you hear from most FPL pundits.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        A recommend from you is a kiss of death 😀

        1. FPL Virgin

          I practically launched WGTA single handily at the start of last season!

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years

            Reading this made me angry

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        Few? There are over 5 million players . I'm sure there are more than a few. Not many on here but the world is a big place 😆

    5. XabiAlonso
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Crazy accent.
      I fancy using my TC on Salah in a sgw this season. I’m gonna wait until he is looking a bit sharper and pick a nice home match and see if I’ve got the balls for it. I’m sick of blowing it on a dgw dud

    6. Jay_
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Love the accent. Sound like a cockney bank robber that hit the jackpot and moved to NZ.

    7. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years

      Any chance you’ll make it available as an actual podcast?

  16. Charmy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Anyone have any stats on how Aguero has performed in 5:30 kick offs?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      😆

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Although this would be the first 5:30 kick off after a model blew his sisha couple of days before that. Think that might be TC worthy?

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Yeah, he gets miffed if he doesn't make it back for The Chase.

  17. Gubbins94.
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Alonso and Ings in for Arnie and Cedric for -4
    OR
    Zaha in for Arnie?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years

        Yes

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Alonso & Ings.. However Arnie might play so might as well wait

  18. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    After spurs vs Liverpool I’m thinking Zaha & Firmino to Kane & Ings - Good move?

    Will then play 4-4-2

    (My other striker is Aguero)

    1. mgrea
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Zaha fixtures are still good for a while after. I'd just wait and see, that's a long way off yet.

  19. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Which combo to score more pts over next 4/5 GWs?

    A) Fraser + Haz
    B) Walcott + Mane

    1. Chris_White
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      A

    2. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I actually think it's really tight on that. Probably A by a smidge.

    3. RamaJama

  20. Roy Rovers
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 19 days ago

    Have I got it right for this week....

    Pat
    VVD Alonso. Mendy. AWB.
    Salah. BSilva Hazard.
    Aguero(C) Ings. Mitrovic.

    Hamer. Neves. Stephens. Shaw.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Shaw last on bench? AWB ahead of him? Why?

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I’d play Shaw over WB

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        This

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Why Shaw last on bench. I would play him.

    4. Roy Rovers
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      7 goals against in 3 games....have you seen Utd?

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        I kinda agree with this.

    5. Roy Rovers
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      WB v Southampton at home

    All this talk about Walcott, what is it about? Are people transfering him out? Did anything happen after the bandwagon?

      What are you talking about? He’s about to get a triple rise for the week

        Oh we'll never mind then. Great

        Alright sorry didn't have a lot of time to read on here today. Perhaps I'm just very tired and made some weird conclusion.

    Anyone heard any injury news regarding Arnautovic?

      Apparently he has a fitness test on Thursday, but at the moment they think it's likely he'll be available.

    Moura or Mkhi should be a hot topic as seen a few people asking it now.

    1. SPorting
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Answer is both.

      Hulk this.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        In a 3-5-2 yes.

        1. SPorting
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 19 days ago

          Or in my 4-4-2

          1. The 12th Man
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 19 days ago

            Yeh. Think a budget striker is needed to accommodate them both.

    Any tips on how to crack top 1m?

      • 9 Years

      Are you not in top 1m? If not, why not?

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 19 days ago

        😛 because of Morata

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Get rid of Morata...

      Make good choices

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      If that’s the aim just get the highest owned players

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Wait for others to lose interest

    5. mgrea
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Keep playing for all 38 GWs

    6. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      Play all season. By the end you should be in the top 1m.

    7. THFC4LIFE

      Post your team Chucky. Can’t be having a regular on here outside 1m

          Consider replacing Tosun with Mitrovic and Morata with Wilson, then using the funds to boost your midfield which looks a bit light to me.

    Theo's head still in place?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 19 days ago

      I’m starting to worry about splinters

    As much as I don't like Utd, Burnley is a nice and easy fixture to get back to winning and in recent years Burnley have scored all of none goals at home v Utd. Play Shaw if you have him.
