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.

    Safe to wait another day for Richarlison-> Moura?

      Doesn't look like either will rise/fall so you should be ok

      FPLStatistics says you're ok but FFFix says Rich will go down so it's a risk. It's up to you but what extra info are you going to get tomorrow that will change your mind on the transfer?

        Which website is more accurate

    3. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If you're definitely making that move, I wouldn't risk it myself. Wish I'd got Alonso early last week & got him at 6.5m.

    Good to go? -4 taken.

    Foster

      what was your hit?

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Richarlison & PVA - > Walcott & Alonso

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          you felt PVA to Alonso was worth a hit? are you happy with Bilva?

          1. Viper
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Maybe not this week but Alonsos price was getting out of reach. AWB will hopefully cover any Palace clean sheet points.

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              i have Tomkins, do you think Bilva to Walcott -4 is a good move?

          2. Viper
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            No, not thrilled with B. Silva. He was on the chopping block before Richarlison got sent off

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              yeh my planned ft was Bilva to Pedro, but now actually prefer Walcott

      Looking solid all round. Decent bench too.

        Thanks everyone

          your team is G2G btw

  3. panda07

    Would you take a hit to get rid of Richarlison or just play AWB for the next two GW's? AWB has SOU & HUD next two fixtures.

    0FT's 0ITB

    Ederson
    Robertson Mendy Alonso PVA AWB

    Stek Stephens Quaner Richarlison

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I personally would be selling him and buying back at a cheaper price. I actually enjoy when I'm forced into a transfer, more fun 🙂

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks, I've got 10 minutes to decide

    2. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Isn't it 3 matches because of the rule change?

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No.
        The rules change only applies to bans gotten from yellow cards to hinder speculation in when to get them.

        1. _Greg
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          It says suspended until 23rd Sept...that's 3 PL games...

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            He’ll be back at september 23 against Arsenal.

            1. _Greg
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              No, that means he's suspended until that day, then becomes available after.

              The rule change i'm referring to is cards for specific competions; i.e if Rich got his red in the EPL cup he'd be suspended for EPL games only, like the rule for European competitions in comparion to domestic games previously.

            2. _Greg
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              I don't think so man. I will do further research but 99% sure it's 3 games.

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                I don’t know what else to tell you.
                Apparently we will have to wait and see if he is eligible for the Arsenal game or not.
                Feel free to bookmark and throw it in my face if he isn’t......

          2. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            If you don’t trust me, go check the hot topic from the 25th of August om new suspension rules or check SkySports

            1. _Greg
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              I'm just going off the FPL site here. It says 'Suspended until 23rd Sep', which has always meant suspended inclusive of that day.

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Not true

      2. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Pretty sure it's just 2 games, it is according to RMT anyway

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Keep for this week... be tempted to do Mane, Rich > Hazard, Neves next week?

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That is very tempting, if no problems arise next week I'll look at that.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I went Firminho, Rich > Jimenez, Hazard... only problem is neves plays Man U so might end up on bench next gw... depends how desperate you want Haz i guess 🙂 wait for this gw id say and reassess

          1. panda07
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah cheers, I could even do Mane & Rich to Fraser & Haz

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Yup especially since you dont have wilson and fixtures for Bourne seem decent from next week 🙂

  4. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 10 Years

    wasn't aware we had to update our team link every season..

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It's a different team ID every season. (unless there's a huge coincidence)

  5. Licious Lizard
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    So a question to the DZ about linking your team. Now that I know my rivals aren’t on the site.

    Are you not worried that you’ll explose your moves and tactics to your rivals by linking your team?

    I know a few on my main ML rivals frequent the site, so I’m not really sure I want to give them the opportunity to spot me here. At least not for later in the season...

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      The only benefit I can see of linking your team is to brag

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I get your point, but sometimes I’m afraid people won’t really trust me, when they can’t see my ranks over the years.

        1. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          If you give good advice with your reasons behind the advice they should trust you.

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah I guess you are right. Or should be at least.
            Still just think some posters here are a bit biased toward people without them. Like some are towards gravless.
            Cheers for you input.

        2. _Greg
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          They wouldn't be able to see your moves, only the amount of transfers made then they have to guess. Sometimes if my rival takes a hit it makes me consider if it's worth it for my team or not.

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            They can still se my team in ML of course.
            I’m worried that they will see my profile on here, click my team link and see that it is me. Then have easy access to all my thoughts and moves for the season...

            1. _Greg
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Well you can play it both ways with misinformation!

              All things aside, if you make the right moves they ain't catching you anyway.

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                But still. They can check my captaincy choice, what my chip strategy is. Future moves etc.
                Think it’s a worry.

                1. _Greg
                  • 16 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  Keep it secret then man.

    2. Jay_
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This site is so popular now. I’ve seen the FFS league pop up a good few times in ML rivals leagues. I must admit, it’s made me stop posting so much. Especially when there’s money at stake.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers.
          You are a well known guy, so I get it. At least I can still hide 🙂

      • noquarternt
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        They can't see your moves.

        I think it creates a more honest and open place. You leave yourself open for criticism but also adds another incentive to become a better player.

        And yes I'd rather listen to someone with 10 top 1k ranks than no links.

        1. _Greg
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I usually make around 80 transfers a season because i'm mad. My OR has never been a target, just winning the same ML for the last 12 years. I used to have team values of around 117m by the end of the season from playing the market, at least 110m plus. IMO it's less fun now; despite this I'm gonna try and be sensible this year!

        2. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          They can see my moves if I post them on here though.
          Not sure respect on this site is my main reason for chasing a better OR haha, but I am a bit bummed I can’t/won’t show my rank to fellow posters on here.

          Not saying here is anything wrong with listening more the elite managers tban randoms, as said above. But I do think there should be some sort of understanding for not being willing to have your team linked

      • Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Are you talking about posting potential moves?

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I’m talking about transfers, captaincy, chips etc.
          I’m afraid that my ML rivals will have the upper hand if they see my team linked and know all my thoughts and choices.
          Not a worry?

      • Rosey Palmer
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        My main ML rival has been monitoring my posts on here for a few years, so occasionally I bait him with false transfer information. If you track rival's team values and $ ITB it's not too difficult to figure out their transfers.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Haha lol!
          But I’m not only talking transfers. But also chip strategy, captain choices etc. if they catch you on here once, they have an advantage for good

          1. Rosey Palmer
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            By now we know each other's strategies pretty well. I can see his posts too so it's a cat and mouse game. I look more at the numbers than trusting anything he says on here.

            1. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              That’s actually awesome that you have that kind of game going on haha.
              As long as it goes both ways.

    3. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking of downgrading Chillwell but not sure where to improve! Anyone got ideas?

      Ryan / Hamer

      Alonso, Mendy, Wan Bissaka / Chillwell, Bennett

      Salah, Hazard, Walcott, Mkhi / Billing

      Aguero, Wilson, Zaha

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Hamer, Billing, Wilson would be the only ones I that could use a .5m injection.
        Maybe Bennet if he lose his spot. Definitely not anything urgent.

        1. Ziyech on the Bench
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks mate, this is a WC so I could move anyone. What you think?

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Ah okay. Anything ITB?

            1. Ziyech on the Bench
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Nope 0.0 ITB!

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Honestly there isn’t anything that really comes to mind. Chillwell got good fixtues after pool. You could consider Wilson-Jiminez and upgrade Chill to TAA, I probably wouldn’t with Pool’s fixtues.
                I think Doherty at 4.4 could be good value, so you could consider him and then upgrade Wilson to Mitro?
                It’s that or Hamer or Billing - depending on if you want to improve your bench.
                Are you leaning towards anything specifically ?

                1. Ziyech on the Bench
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  I could move towards a 3-5-2 that flexes to a 3-4-3 with:

                  Chillwell => 4.5
                  Billing=> Fraser
                  Wilson=> Jimenez

                  1. Tsparkes10
                    • 7 Years
                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    Similar to what i said ;). Id be tempted to keep Chillwell though. Fraser on set pieces though and nailed... Wolves also have nice fixtures and Jimenez was rested completely in cup so also nailed imo. Alsooo, Fuchs bagged and assisted for Leicester in cup so whos to say he doesnt get a sniff in prem at some point

                  2. Licious Lizard
                    • 13 Years
                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    Yeah do this definitely.
                    A bit of a benching headache, But much stronger team.
                    Jiminez good fixtures and Wolves looking to improve.
                    Fraser seems Excellent value.
                    And as I don’t Really rate Leicester def THAT much, I Think you’ll be better off.

                    1. Ziyech on the Bench
                      • 8 Years
                      7 years, 7 months ago

                      Thanks man appreciate all your help. I agree Fraser seems too good at 5.6 compared to Wilson.

          2. Tsparkes10
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Could get Fraser for Billing and Jimenez for Wilson... then maybe upgrade Walcott or Mkhi?

            1. Ziyech on the Bench
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              ty for advice mate but that move makes me -0.5

              1. Tsparkes10
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Sorry hahaha, pretty unaware of prices and its kinda effort to check :). Take a look at my recent posts with my team if you want, quite similar teams tbh

            2. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              I wouldn’t downgrade Chill to a non starting def. he’s already got the only 2 starting defenders that could
              Facilitate Biliing -> Fraser - and I’m not even sure he could even then

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I passed on 6.6 players that have risen as Rich replacement but was leaning towards Fraser/Schurrle. Even though I have King I think Fraser seems a good long term pick

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Prefer Fraser to Schurrle.
        How is your team looking? And do want Rich back when he returns? You probably wouldn’t play Fraser this week, so not sure it’s worth 2 FTs if you want Rich back and have a decent bench

      2. _Greg
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Schurrle does love a shot though.

      3. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yes Fraser certainly looks a great long term pick. I'd stay away from Schurrle for a while though as he didn't start GW2

          Yeah he's been on the edge for days now but keeps resetting to around 90 everyday

        Hate not owning a certain player and really, really wanting them. And already on a -4. And have exact cash for free next week but a rise this week ruins it. So frustrating.

          I have no self control and just did it for a -8. Same situation: I feel better about it now :p

              Fraser is very creative, played well in midweek, goal and assist, subbed on 66th min to be fresh for the weekend.

              Fraser for sure the better fantasy asset.

                  I went for it, liv fixtures getting tougher and Chelsea have two great home fixtures. Have Salah and Robertson for liv cover still. Expecting more points from haz over the next few weeks.

                    101.5 and 44k only -4 in hits. Have you taken more hits that cost you places? Just curious

                      • 16 Years

                      4 transfers last week:

                      Bednarek Mahrez King Bernard to Richalison Alonso Fraser Kamara -8

                      Bednarek didn't play, 11 from Alonso

                      Bernard didn't play but Richalison -2

                      King 9 points

                      Mahrez 1 point.

                      My team and structure is better now, with 2.5m ITB & didn't lose 0.1m on King, 0.2m on Mahrez, 0.1m on Bednarek.

                      Would have had 8 more points but way more problems.

                        Personally think hits aren't as bad as people think. Ive taken a hit this week to bring in Jimenez and Hazard for Firminho and Rich which will surely be worth. Good moves imo

                          7 years, 7 months ago

                          A hit with a plan for the future could be worth 30+ points.

                          Atm it's Peltier Kamara Fraser. Rough! OK until 1st WC i think though.

                • 11 Years

                I really hope Bilva gets double figure score

                  • 12 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  is he capable and you really think he will?

                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    He has better fixture than Walcott and Moura imo

                    1. Dynamic Duos
                      • 12 Years
                      7 years, 7 months ago

                      Huddersfield are the whipping boy and if Palace had more clinical finishers than Zaha, then Watford would of lost.

                    Two attacking returns would be out of the question tbf, but I think he’ll stick to one 😉
                    GL with Moura

                      that is the problem, Walcott starts 100% and i will probably score.

              No one mention siggy? When player get transfered in by more than 500k people, usually they go blank. It happens several time to player like wally and he is injured in first 20 minutes.

                Siggy and Townsend under the radar imo. They are decent options though

                Not sure I fancy Siggy for 1m than Wally/Rich.
                And not sure players are basing their scoring/injuries on FPL ownership 😉

                  Its like a myth that I believe in playing FPL even though i know its unrealistic 🙂 i am going back to richarlison after 3 weeks anyway. I just want capitalized siggy for double home game plus bad ars defence.

              Good to go? Debating whether to start Jota or Tosun.

              Alisson
              Alonso - TAA - Wan-Bissaka
              Mane - Hazard(C) - Jota - Bilva - Walcott
              Mitrovic - Aubemayang(V)

              Bench: Rui Patricio - Peltier - Daniels - Tosun

                • 7 Years

                Tosun and gtg if not a wc

                If not on WC, good to go. If you are I’d downgrade jota and maybe alisson too, spend it elsewhere. Solid team though. Lack of salah / kun is my main worry

                And start tosun

                Tosun is a striker playing at home to Huddersfield right? What is he doing third on your bench?

                Stats say Doherty who I sold last week as dropped to 4.4 but I may but back soon as Wolves have great run of home fixtures

                • 13 Years

                Doherty @ 4.4m
                Schlupp if you believe he’ll keep hIs spot, which is a bit risky.
                Cedric @4.4

                  • 13 Years

              1.8 to spend. Kinda want DSilva over Mhki, but the extra $ could go a long way potentially. Thoughts on where to spend/what else to do?

              Ryan Hamer
              Mendy Robertson Alonso AWB Bennett
              Salah Hazard Mhki Fraser Billing

                Kamara to Jimenez just for extra bench depth. Then maybe Hamer to Foster or Patricio or something for rotation if needed... not too sure on brighton fixtures. Rest looks good, id go mkhi just to cover arsenal in case they bag a few

                  • 8 Years

                  ~Brighton have 2 easier fixtures then Spurs and City then easier fixtures again.

              Moura, chasing points or good punt?

                7 years, 7 months ago

                Average position is that of a CF. I say good move.

              2. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Points chasing imo. Should have had him from the beginning, as we knew Son was out for a number of weeks.
                Upcoming fixtues aren’t easy and his gametime will be threathened by Son and Lamela soon.
                People were making fun of Walcott buyers saying his shot stats were unsustainable, just look at Moura’s.
                Yes he looked very dangerous against United, but I’m not sure he will be that high up every game.

                1. _Greg
                  • 16 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  He's been up near Kane every game. I got him from the start luckily. I think people are forgetting he was a bargain 25m from PSG & Ferguson was desperate to sign him to replace Ronaldo all those years ago. He's miles better than Lamela, Alli could play deeper to accommodate Son if he keeps up his form. Ignore at your peril.

                  1. Licious Lizard
                    • 13 Years
                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    Yeah he’s a good player and he adds that pace that they have been missing a bit.
                    I’m happy going without for now, but if he retains his spot and continues to impress, I’ll have to bite the bullet at some point .

                    Yh i had him from start... almost got rid before United game but wanted a spurs player as i hate man u. So worked out really well for me hahaha, then rich got a red so all the more reason to keep moura :). May look to swap him for perreya when watford fixtures come nicer and if he looks to be rotated

                Watford defensive stats pretty solid so far

                  • 16 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  that is true of this week. Looks like a 2-1 Spurs game.

                • 10 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                See no reason he would be benched, injury more likely...

                I think 3-5-2 is a very good formation considering there are more midfield options under 7.5m than there are strikers.

                AWB probably outscores most your outfield 😆 but you have to bench him over them

                  • 10 Years

                • 13 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Not a must at all.
                Though I would have him, as I think he is good value.
                Nailed, talisman, good form, good fixtures and has been unlucky not to get baps.

                Not getting those bonus points...Benteke gets jettisoned without Sorloth coming in then yes. ATM it's a no from me.

                Not for me but I can see the appeal. Think there's better options

                WC or no?

                If not, all set imo. if so I’d maybe swap out Kabasele odoi Pickford, and would play Fraser personally

                  Nan no WC :). Got 0.7 ITB so see how this week and international break goes then look to swap maybe 2 of them 3. Ngl im relatively happy. Fraser and AWB is a tricky one though ahhh

              Reports that Martial is about to sign a new 5-year contract offered by Woodward. Surely that indicates key players are being privately informed that the manager won't be around much longer, and maybe that a certain Frenchman is incoming???

                  That'll be after Mou's gone, prob over international break fortnight. Then it'll be time to look at Pogba, Martial and other United assets.

              Is there any players worth to get in with a minus 4. Looking to offload mane.
              My mid are
              Salah, mkhi, Fraser, neves , Mané.
              1) yes... who ?
              2) crazy, no way
              3) do it next gameweek to who ?

              Thinking of Pedro currently

              1. Tsparkes10
                • 7 Years

                Hazard... but guessing youd need to do a -8 for this so id wait til next week 🙂

                • 11 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                2) crazy

                Two double-digit hauls in his first two games, why take a -4 for a sideways/worse move like Pedro? Just hold and if he blanks again reassess

                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  Me too. The only question is who replaces Richarlison - could it be Calvin-L or Bernard?

                  1. Licious Lizard
                    • 13 Years
                    7 years, 7 months ago

                    Heard something that Bernard might be out with something?

                    1. _Greg
                      • 16 Years
                      7 years, 7 months ago

                      Not heard anything. Bernard will start left wing if he's match fit.

                      1. Andy_Social
                        • 13 Years
                        7 years, 7 months ago

                        Probably, but Calvin-Lewis had a good game, scored and therefore asks a question.

                        1. _Greg
                          • 16 Years
                          7 years, 7 months ago

                          I agree. it's just Bernard is on 150k a week.

            22. Bat Man
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Would you go for a fifth 5.0 mid or a fifth 4.5 def (over 4.5 and 4.0, respectively). Would have wanted Kante for that fifth mid spot but have Pedro Hazard and Alonso already. Any other decent options?

              1. _Greg
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                gotta keep at least WB 5th defender.
