Some previously powerful Fantasy Premier League set piece assets seems to have lost their edge in the first four Gameweeks of 2018/19.

That’s what our latest research into set plays data has shown us this week.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view the data both in the Members Area and in the article below, where we go into a bit more detail.

This is part one of two, with the second article to come out later in the week.

    I actually like the ‘good luck bad luck’ feature. That deserves praise

      Smacks to me as a way of 'experts' being able to moan that they deserved to beat the lucky casuals if their superior decisions had worked out.

      Half the point of WC is to catch players you want before they rise. You've missed 0.4 since end of last GW I think

      Also keeping Peltier on WC??? Hamer is not first choice so you'll be likely playing Hennessey every week. 2 from McCarthy/Patricio/Fab/Foster is best GK combo imo

    So many people happy to hide behind on a keyboard in this “community”. You realise the people you’re talking about likely read a lot of these comments?

    If you don’t like something, fair enough, but be constructive with your feedback. It comes across a lot better than being a little b**ch and will more likely be taken on board. For what it’s worth, I think about 90% of what the community post on here is total garbage so, you know, glass houses and all that.

        Wasn’t directed at any one person in particular so apologies if you took offence. It was aimed at a more general style of negativity that comes across here regularly now.

        I’m not saying don’t be critical (I know I have been on occasion) but just be nicer and more constructive with it. I’m sure you wouldn’t like to read some of the things people say about others on here if it was aimed at you.

It’s unfortunate that some of the people whose posts I actually stop to read whenever I drop into the comments are the ones that maybe think I’m out of line here but hopefully the point I was actually trying to make wasn’t completely lost - be constructive if you’ve got strong opinions.

        If enough people genuinely want to see changes then I just think there are better - and kinder - ways to do it. I’m sure those involved would respond well to useful, constructive feedback that leads to a better, more engaging podcast.

      I liked the revamp.

      There's more structure and focus. I followed David pre FFS and found his articles useful. Ok the quiz overran but nothing that cant be fixed but on the whole it was better more balancedfor the casters.

      Also, I like Joe heading it up.

      Would like to see more thoights around say a 3 week fixture block and thoughts based on either own or mock up template teams but, yep, on the whole loved it.

        Hey Zod, good to hear from a lurker haha. I’m not exactly active either but sometimes good to air some thoughts - FPL or not.

        I thought some things worked well and others not so much but new things can take a few weeks to bed in sometimes so we’ll see how they develop. International break a tricky time to cover as well I’d imagine.

          Yes, the break didnt help but in fairness its been wc central. Perhaps there could've been a cast devoted to that last week yknow on structure or ways to get kane in if planning.

          What’s happened is the beginning of the end. It was the final nail in the coffin for me and I’m done. After all the constructive messages on the hot topic last week, how have they gone so far off the mark. It’s a disgrace.

          It’s a worthless home of gimmick’s with very little useful information for any serious FPL manager.

          Munday and his ideas have to go. He would be better doing click bait content for a teenagers YouTube show - and I actually think he’s a great guy, just not suited to the Scoutcast.

          Needs to go back to basics IMO. Joe, Az and Andy thrashing out nothing but hardcore FPL chat and banter and I think they could get the show back to being what it was. I accept not Mark and Granville and think those three could potentially fill the shoes but without the structured gimmicks involved recently.

              I like many am disappointed that he’s virtually left, but I can accept it. What I can’t accept is since he’s gone how much the site and especially the Scoutcast has radically changed and IMO mainly all for the worse.

              This is the clincher.

              I’ve always been a loyal Scoutcast fan and never really thought to look elsewhere.

              Then the hot topic came up the other week and people drew comparisons with other Pods that, to be honest I never new existed for most of them. I’ve not watched them and feel stupid for wasting my time for so long. The two Yank shows FML FPL and Always Cheating are far and away much better. Both for FPL content and for banter. Then others too are much more engaging. The Scoutcast is now literally bottom of the pile, which is such a shame to say.

          A) Dilva + Wilson + 0.8
          B) Hojbjerg + Lukaku

          A gives me more selection headaches but more flexibility. Dilva and Wilson both have decent fixtures but there is some rotation risk for Dilva, and Bournemouth's attacking output will probably suffer if Fraser is out for a few weeks.

          B gives me a captain option in Lukaku, which is significant as Aguero might be rotated because of the CL. Also makes it less of a headache to pick my team each week, but still offers me some flexibility because I can always rotate Schurrle with AWB/Doherty.

                Lukaku is a flat track bully and his underlying stats look good. His next four games are wat WOL whu NEW and contrary to popular belief, Utd have actually been getting a lot of chances this season.

                We don't know for a fact if Lossl is 1st choice because Hamer was injured in the last game, but even if Hamer will be consigned to the bench I'm not too bothered about it as I think Patricio should do alright for the foreseeable future.

              Salah, Mané, Mkhi*, Wally*, Hughes
              Aguero, Wilson, Kamara

              A) Mkhi, Wally, PVA > Hazard, Billing, Bennett (-8)
              B) Mané, Wally > Hazard, Neves/ Fraser if fit (-4)
              C) Wally > Maddison
              D) Mkhi > Pedro/ Maddison
              E) Save FT

              Although A) seems OTT it would give me the wonder 3 mids (Salah, Mané, Hazard), Alonso/ Mendy/ Robbo and Aguero/ Wilson plus Wan-B and Hughes to complete starting lineup

              Happy to be schooled here if any of these options are clear choices!

              Cheers

                Maybe they just want to bring down the share price so they can snap it up on the cheap during the initial public offering?

                Hadn't realised he'd played so many mins. If Fraser's injury turn out bad I'd consider the move but want a few more games to assess. Bit more expensive but would probably take a punt on Schurrle first.

                Was hoping Max Meyer would get more mins as another option but not sure he'll be a regular before the palace fixture swing if at all.

                  Meyer has no goals or assists last season at Schalke and 1 and 3 previous season. That screams not fantasy relevant

                I've had him from GW1. Would deff keep him if wildcarding now. Of course I benched him when he scored, but he has looked good. Sometimes even seemed to play as striker (but with Vardy back that should not happen).

              When Crystal Palace hadn't scored for a 4 or 5 games at the start of last season, I put a link to a funny YouTube video on here of a group of German fans holding hi viz arrows to their team who hadn't scored for ages too. The video can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuC5BP8db6w&t=12s. The post never got one reply. It was as if no-one on here had a sense of humour. Since then, I've thought the best way this forum and it's YouTube content works is for it to be serious. No gimmicks or anything, just pure FPL talk.

                That’s what the bread and butter of this site oringislly was for though and IMO should be about. I’m not saying it can’t be fun but fun as in FPL manager banter not gimmicks or general jokes. There are plenty of places on the internet for all of that. This site is supposed to be specifically for commited FPL content.
