Almost exactly 48 hours separate the completion of Gameweek 14 with the deadline for Gameweek 15, so the quick turnaround means we are unable to bring you individual Scout Notes on all ten Premier League matches that took place this weekend.

You can read about how Liverpool and Manchester City assets got on in their respective fixtures on Saturday by clicking the links below, however.

MATCH REPORT: Liverpool 2-1 Brighton and Hove Albion
MATCH REPORT: Newcastle United 2-2 Manchester City

For the other eight matches, we have produced this cover-all article that addresses some of the main talking points from the Gameweek just gone and delves into the stand-out stats from our Members Area.

      I own him and I would say yes. My plan is to swap Pope for Henderson tomorrow which leads me to a question is a hit for Zaha/Pulišić worth it this week ?

      He gets one more game for me before he's most likely out for one of Alli/Son/Pulisic.

      Sold him last night - otherwise my SV would have gone down another 100K

      Brought in Fleck (4.8) as a real 5th midfielder - gives me enough to upgrade Pulisic to Alli and bring in Guaita

    Tammy sold by more than 1 million managers and yet his price went down just once ? This season is really weird when it comes to prices, especially drops.

      A bit odd I must say, they rise very quickly but the highly owned players seems very hard to drop in price. KDB and now Abraham comes to mind. Meanwhile boly who isnt owned by alot of managers dropped 0.2 just like that. Something fishy going on

      He was over 100% last night, more so than Mount ... check this morning and Tammy was back to 90% whilst Mount had dropped and was already down 10%

      Could be wildcards but it seems unlikely

      All Chelsea forwards were priced kindly at the start beacasue nobody knew who will be main man.

      Now we know, Chelsea is doing well so Tammy looks underpiced - towers protect his value to make game more difficult.

    Hi All - Would appreciate your thoughts.
    2FT and 0.5 ITB

    Ryan
    TAA, Robbo, Soy, Lund
    Mane, KDB, Tielmans, Mount
    Vardy, Jimenez
    Button l Abraham, Rico, Dendoncker

    If Abraham is fit: what to do with 2FT?!
    A) Ryan -> Henderson (to avoid burning one)
    B) Tielmans or Mount -> Zaha
    C) Tielmans & Mount -> Son & Cantwell (and play 4-3-4)

    If Abraham isn’t fit:
    A) Abraham & Mount - > Ings & Pulisic
    B) Abraham & Mount/ Tielemans -> Rashford & Grealish
    C) Something else?

      I sold Tammy, but based on the premise that he was quite likely to miss more than 1 game. At this stage, it seems he will miss at most one more game, which means I would definitely hold him if I still had him.

      And of the first three options, I guess that A is plausibly the best (although i'd prefer Guaita).

    Not sure what to do with Martial (7.7m); Mount (6.6m); + 1.4m..so thats a total of 15.7m. Which combo would you want from gw16? Plan to WC in gw20

    A: Pulisic + Maddison
    B: Son + Grealish
    C: Alli + Pulisic (-4) as i would need to downgrade Lascelles (benchfodder) > Kelly (benchfodder) to raise 0.3m
    D: Alli + Maddison (-4)
    E: Alli + Zaha

    I think given that spurs have 3 home fix between gw16-19..i would want some cover there...

    6 years, 7 months ago

    A tough week for all involved but the Scouts once again emerged victorious with a strong 48-37 victory. Now though, it starts to get really tricky. With the gameweeks coming thick and fast, will rotation push some new differentials to the fore? Would you dare look away from the high scoring Vardy? Will City return to winning ways?

    Think you have the eye to pick the perfect FPL players and form a winning team vs the Scout Picks? We need a Community Champion to represent us vs the Scout Picks for Gameweek 15.

    The Community Champion picks a team including a captain to go up against the Scout Picks, within a budget of 83m and in a playable FPL formation. Whichever Gameweek champion beats the Scout’s team by the largest margin will win a £100 Amazon Voucher!

    If you're interested in applying, email Geoff (geoff@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk) with your FFS username and FPL Team ID.

    The Champion will be picked 9am tomorrow morning, so make sure to enter quickly! Due to the midweek gameweek, the Champion then has until midday on Tuesday to send in their team plus a captain. It will be a quick turnaround, so please keep an eye on your emails at 9!

    Good luck!

          Fair enough but I think fixtures about equal in the short term (next 4).

          Also I guess team situation another factor. Posted earlier about wanting to get 2 Spurs in for GW16 and saving a transfer lets me do that...

          Pretty sure Jimmy will punish me though!

          Personally don't think it's worth a -4 for an away game against MUN when you can have Mount at home against Villa. If you want Spurs cover I'd save the FT this week and get Alli or Son the week after.

        This. If you kept him keep him one more on the bench. Mason should play this one.

    Afternoon everyone.
    Pope has been a great signing for my squad but Burnley’s upcoming fixtures look dreadful.
    Should I go:
    1). Keep Pope and hope for the best
    2). Pope to Henderson
    3). Pope to Gazzaninga

    Option (2) means doubling up on Sheff Utd as I’ve Lord Lundstram

    Anyone else regretting buying Kane?

    Brought him and Pulisic in for Sterling and Abraham for GW14. Seemed sensible. Shocker.

    Both FTs but ended up with 47 and my theoretical future transfers are already piling up. Doh!

      I was aware of the risk but the potential upside made me go for it right after the Mourinho news. Will give him a few more gameweeks.

        Thanks! Good moves. I brought Ings in last night, but for Connolly. Going to give Kane one or two more then do something similar to you with Alli/Son and Jimi/Mousset. Kicking myself!
