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.

    Would
    You...
    A- keep
    Mane this week and get hazard next week
    Or
    B- Get Hazard this week in for Mane for a minus 4 and then save transfer in game week 5 to have two frees for game week 6

        Normally I would just take the hit and go for it!!but I’ve had the best start I’ve ever had and am 3.5k atm so really don’t want to take hits if necessary but in the same boat I want to keep up the good start !! Not sure how to navigate a team with such a high rank!!! Haha

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

      That's exactly the dilemma I'm in. However, I just noticed Mane is due a rise in an hour and Haz isn't, so I'm giving myself 24 hours' breathing space to assess.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Ah that’s handy to know I had him from day one so that’s good!!

    6. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      Keep Mane... Hazard loves bournemouth thou.

  2. davies

    Fab, Foster, Hennessey or Ryan?

    1. arndff_

      H — nice run of fixtures, right?

    2. ChelseaKTBFF

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years

      Hen.
      I would also consider Patricio actually

    4. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hennesey or Fabianski

    Going to sleep on this for a couple of nights while the prices are stable.

    Bilva to Walcott -4.

    he has been talked up alot and will have pretty high ownership, many below me in my mls have taken hits for this week, so it shouldn't hurt me so much, i think many will have done Rich to Wally to, so i think it is a good thing to cover him.

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

      Not worth imo

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don't get a player because of your rivals or ownership.. We are in gw3.
      Keep Bilva and reassess after IB

  4. Gruu
    • 9 Years

    RMT please

    Foster
    Alonso, Mendy, Robertson, AWB
    Salah, Mane, Bilva, Mkhi, Walcott
    Aguero(c)

    1. Hy liverpool

      Looks good... Fabianski over Foster

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Play Fab. Otherwise pretty good.

    3. Point-one short

  6. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Schneiderlin played 5mins tonight right?

    So why’s he still red flagged. FPL getting super lazy these days......

  7. leo123

    No love for gundogan ?

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

      If I didn't have 3 Man City already I'd be interested

      1. leo123
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I've Mendy and Kun. You think I should be interested as Richa replacement ?

  8. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wan-B and Ings owners..... which one are you playing this week???

    1. noahzark22
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      AWB

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That’s what I’m on too atm thanks for the reassurance mate!!

    2. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      both hedge your bets

  9. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Any Arnie or Tomkins news updates?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like a late decision will be made on Arnie

  10. niloh1
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Seems like rich won’t fall tn according to fpl stats?

    1. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. -75.5

    2. leo123
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      fantasyfootballfix says hes -120%

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

        They also had him at that yesterday. But got his falll right last time, when stats missed it. Very strange

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Weren't they doing some test on him last night to see if h had dropped. I'm not sure they know what his delta is at the moment

  11. Moves like Dejagah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Play:

    A: King (Che)
    B: Wan-Bissaka

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I currently have WB in ahead of Fraser but not certain on the decision. King's on pens though which swings it in King's favour for me

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      King.... I'm starting both tho

    3. Moves like Dejagah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks for your thoughts.

    4. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Very tricky one mate... both could be good king on pens and Wan-B cleanie highly probable imo... so toss a coin??

      1. Moves like Dejagah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I could play both and leave Richarlison on the bench and bank a transfer.

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Seems logical

        2. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I toyed with this idea too. The price changes pushed me though, feel like I shoulda just benched him though

          1. Moves like Dejagah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            I’ve been thinking the same but my team value isn’t great. I do like the idea of having two transfers after the break then I could do a mini wildcard; save my wildcard for later.

  12. noahzark22
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Uh oh, Kevin Friend is referee for ManC/Newcastle

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      What does this mean?

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

        He has a very stat for giving penalties

      2. noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        He's among the referee leaders in awarding penalties

          • 12 Years

          Chilwell is leicester best player atm. I have watched him vs manchester united then vs Wolves.

    Hy Liverpool, who did you take a hit on?

  18. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Start....
    A- Ings (palace away)
    B- Wilson (Chelsea away)

    1. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      both in place of the mid/defender you have

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Wan-B at home tho??

        1. ChelseaKTBFF
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          If you really want to bench one, it would be Wilson. Chelsea are a strong side, and King is on penos so you don't even get that. Still not a proponent for benching strikers though, unless they're named Kamara

          1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Hahaha yeah that’s a good way of looking at things tbf mate

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          With Wan-B

    3. Moves like Dejagah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would say Ings just. Wilson did bag a hat trick at Chelsea last season though..

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

    It's probably been said before, but if you can save a transfer this week it could be priceless after the international break.

    Start Wan B or Jota for this week?

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

      Jota IMHO

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Think you've got to play Jota against that West Ham defence. No point owning him if you don't.

    3. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jota. If you dont start him against WHU who will you start him against?

    4. Moves like Dejagah
      • 9 Years

      Jota

    Ryan, Hamer

    Mendy, Alonso, Wan Bissaka, / Pereira, Bednarek

    Salah, Hazard, Mkhi, Walcott

    Aguero, Wilson, Zaha

      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      swap Bednarek for Bennett of Wolves.

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

        Thanks, ill do perreira to chill well to afford that move.

          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Bennett also 4m...ah Bednarek 3.9m Perreira 5.1m Chilwell 5m. so 0.0m ITB. Yeah I would.

    Captain Hazard Bou (H) or Aguero New (H)?

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

      Aguero

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

      Hazard is a punt when Aguero will be captained by over 60%.

    3. panda07

      Aguero

    Seeing lots of people on active WCs with no Spurs players in their squads.

    Looking at those fixtures, and their form so far this season, what's the reasoning behind this? And will Spurs players be the first to properly break the template?

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

      I'm waiting to see how Liverpool do against Spurs to possibly spend Mane money on Kane/Hazard. Had Moura since the start though so quite happy to keep him as Spurs cover for now.

    Received a very mixed response last time I asked this.

    My last choices on Wildcard:

    A) Hennessy, Bellerin, Mitro
    B) Ryan, PVA, Zaha

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

      B

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

      I like B. Ryan good short term fix, PVA & Zaha great fixtures. Bellerin not as good as Monreal. Mitro perhaps better than Zaha though.

      I was considering Schlupp this week as he looks to remain OOP.

      1. Francescoli
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. Bellerin has better stats than Monreal. Worth running the comparison tool on them.

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

          Monreal has been good for a few goals last 2 seasons. If Emery cracks it though, Bellerin's pace should cause problems.
