Skonto Rigga The pre-deadline Members Videos make a belated return for 2023/24 ahead of Gameweek 4.
It’s Scoutcast meets FPL BlackBox this time as Andy North and Az co-host this exclusive stream for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.
The pair have been chatting over on our YouTube channel about their own Gameweek 4 teams and transfers.
Midfielders were unsurprisingly high on the agenda, while the pair also discuss the best time to make transfers.
The stream is watchable via the embedded video below.
Wc team, any thoughts? 1.5 itb.
--Vicario
-Walker-Gvardiol-Chilwell
-Saka-Bowen-Madds-Sterl-Mbuemo
-Haaland-Jackson
--Areola-Estu-Udogie-Awoinyi.
Thanks all.
Excellent
Thank you.
Not sure about Walker. Personally I would like a Brentford Defender/GK.
West Ham's fixtures are tricky just now. I'd hold off on getting Bowen until later. Maybe Bruno instead?
All god bar Walker IMO.
Think about Sterling. I know all the reasons for getting him but other choices and it might be an idea to keep a Chelsea spot open. It is hard though considering form and recency bias.
Very iffy about having Jackson to be honest. Think he will be one of the flops this season but he could prove me wrong. If he blanks this weekend, I will be shifting him.
I haven't bought him and don't plan to. Don't think he has much goals in him. Great fixtures though and feck all striker options so worth a punt
Yes, fixtures are good. Let's see how it pans out.
I'm surprised people are watching him and coming out with this opinion in honesty.
I've watched Chelsea strikers years after years and there's been plenty of disappointments in there. Jackson leaves me with a good feeling watching how and where he plays every time (so far).
He's a goal threat, great strike in him, and he will also get you assists because he's quick and smart with his lay-offs. Also very adept at holding up the ball & still bang his man.
He's not going to get Haaland numbers, but at least until he's less nailed (definitely not the sort term) he will tick over.
I don't particularly understsnd shifting him ahead of BOU in a bank of green fixtures.
If you have someone like Watkins this week however, I wouldn't necessarily sell for Jackson since he's also good.
Fully agree. With no sign that Chelsea are going to bring in another striker in the next 24, he's nailed in the Chelsea side and my FPL Starting XI.
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan. He's a very good player. Intelligent, efficient on the ball, selfless, great movement and link up play. All the subtle stuff you can't teach. Just isn't the killer instinct type of goal scorer you want for fpl. Similar to Watkins in a lot of ways. Once Chelsea become more of a cohesive team his output will increase for goals and assists but for now they are still a work in progress
Which defender should I sell first as I want to make sure I have at least 3 starting defenders!
Akanji or Gabriel? (5th one is out as well)And
And who would you bring in? Udogie, Romero, Disasi, Gusto, another city defender etc… thanks guys.
Who are your other defenders?
Estu and Chilwell. And a 4.0 bench warmer.
Personally I'd go Gabriel to Udogie who seems nailed and has good fixtures. Akanji might come back into the City team when he is 100%, but for whatever reason Gabriel is not starting.
Yeah thanks man. I am sure something is going on between him and Arteta.
Considered to sell the bench warmer but that extra 0.8 could be useful later i suppose.
Of those 2 Gabriel
He might play this weekend but not guarantee going forward
Akanji was just ill last week so might play
Dias, Udogie or an early move for Trippier depending on budget
Thanks man I’m thinking the same thing. If I also do Odegaard - Maddison (not sure yet), I may end up getting two Spurs players in this week. Which seems to be ok.
Have this team after 2 fts. Pedro > Jackson/ alvarez for -4 or save?
onana
chilwell estu henry
saka rashford sterling mitoma mbeumo
haaland pedro
turner baldock kabore mubama
Yes to Alvarez
Cheers
Who to cap, safe with Haaland or rank gain with Bowen?
Has to be Haaland this gw
Bowen it is then 🙂
Go for it Dave!
Guess it is a bit brave to go without cap on Haaland at home vs Fulham.
Haaland
Just having Bowen will be enough if he brings home the bacon.
Maddison and sterling in for rashford and martinelli for -4
Yep
Go for it
Start udogie or estupinan
Udogie
Pick 2 to play out of
Colwill
Estupinan
Baldock
Any ideas would be appreciated
Likely 1 and 3
1 & 2, Brighton haven’t kept a CS yet but that doesn’t bother Espu, Botman should be out which means Brighton face a weaker back 4.
Start Flekken or Areola?
Close one, Flekken for me
Thank you
Flekken
Would you do Mitoma to Sterling for a hit?
Not for a hit I wouldn’t
Hoping for a huge haul from Vicario in order for him to pay back the hit I took on Johnstone, had no choice really. Nothing but a double digit will do!
Is Johnstone injured?
No but I had him and Turner. Both could be in danger by GW5.
I suspect the Spuds defence will turn out to be what we expected from Angeball. My GK rotation is suspect in Johnstone and Steele. I'm going with J this week and will use a transfer to bring in Leno next.
I wanted to get it over and done with this week. Vicario has two nice fixtures and I think Spurs are looking decent at the back. Won't be doubling up on their defence though.
Gotcha. I'm going to WC GW6 so only the next 2 interest me at the moment.
GL!
I have the following defenders
Chilwell Saliba Estu Anderson Kabore
Playing Chilwell and Anderson. Not sure on third, so
A play Estu
B get Udogie in for -4
C A and B and bench Mitoma.
A
You'd need an Udogie clean sheet to make up for the hit
Could easily happen but Estu could also get points
Look again next week when Saliba plays versus Everton
Thanks for the reply. I’ve told myself not to over tinker this year chasing points. Your advice fits that sentiment, cheers
Rephrasing the question. Better option this gw?
a. start pedro 3-5-2
b. start baldock 4-5-1
c. pedro > jackson -4
d. pedro > alvarez -4
B
A
Cheers
On WC which mid would you drop?
A) Bruno
B) Saka
C) Foden
D) Mbuemo
E) Sterling
F) Maddison
C
Agreed
D isn't a player, so, D (but maybe C).
Mbuemo is the one Im not considering, just because I feel like Ive mist so many of his points, not the best logic but thats just me
Bruno and get him in 1-2 weeks..
I'd personally go A but that's because I've a personal dislike so very poor FPL rationale
The biggest minutes risk there by far is Foden.
Sterling could be a flash in the pan, Chelsea aren't the finished article
One of those probably.
Maddo
Foden
Sterling
I assume this is the preferred order of preference for the next few games? Maddo the most reliable and essential out of the 3 imo. Foden the most likely to explode. Sterling looking good but can be really be trusted?
Anyone agree/disagree?
100% agree
GTG?
Johnstone
Chilwell Gusto Henry
Salah Ødegaard Maddison Foden
Haaland C Alvarez Jackson
Areola Nakamba Botman Beyer
No real issues
Start saliba or cash?
Saliba
Anything worth a hit? Gabriel should go but only a City defender or maybe Udogie seem worthy of a -4
Pickford
Chilly Baldock Estu
Saka Marty Raz Foden Maddy
Haaland Jackson
Turner Cash Gabriel Archer
Millions in the bank
Have this team already used a transfer on Gabriel to Cash. Should I do -4 this week or save?
onana
chilwell estu cash
saka rashford B.Silva mitoma Martinelli
haaland Watkins
turner baldock Udogie Ui-jo
I would start Udogie ahead of Cash
And wouldn't take hits.
Save
Right starting 11 & bench order here guys?
Pickford
Gusto Udogie Chilwell
Maddison Saka Foden Ode Sterling(vc)
Alvarez Haaland(C)
Turner Estu Watkins Botman
Watkins at least 1st bench, I expect him to score but dunno who id play him over
I would start Watkins in place of Ode.
Watkins over Ode and Alverez
Thanks all, put me in a bit of a conundrum but will give it some thought. Prob Alvarez to make way
Tho Citeh v Fulham!
Mbeumo or Maddison for Odegaard for free? The other option is to roll. I’ve already done Mitoma to Sterling.
Onana
Chilwell / Estu / Porro
Salah / Saka / BrunoF / Sterling / Bowen
Haaland(c) / Archer
Turner / Baldock / Saliba / Osula
GTG here, or should I play it a bit safer and put Baldock in for Archer?
0 FT 0 ITB
Happy that owning Salah only gives me 1 benching headache!
Bench 1:
A: Estupinan
B: Henry
C: Udogie
A
So many early transfers ahead of deadline day, so annoying! Wanted to transfer in Antonio but becomes not worth it at 6.1 Vs the 6m, you know it's randoms when you looking at differentials like that. Praying he doesn't do what I expect at Luton and SHU
Let me get this straight. You don't want to buy a player anymore because he is 0.1 more expensive than yesterday? It makes absolutely no sense to me. If you expect someone to do well, just get them, regardless of price.
Could not agree more - 0.1 should not change your plans this year. TV means so much less than normal with the midfield the way it is. If you like Antonio as a differential to Watkins, Jackson, Alvarez and Wissa - do it this week when they have the matchup. After this fixtures turn.
Yeah because I have Salah TV is still important for me and the 0.1 is actually still 0.5 and looks me out of planned GW5 transfer.
Cut of time to get players registered for clubs to play this GW is at 12pm I think?
Don't bring in any newbies which are signed after 12pm!
Better option for the next 3-4 gws?
a. henry
b. udogie
Thoughts on trippier?
Not for me.
No thoughts, haven't even considered him.
Maybe gw5 ...but CL rotation and age a factor for this tough schedule
The CL draw has ended my interest in Newcastle defenders until the group stages are over.
Really annoyed I want Isak in my Wildcard I think he's gonna haul big against Brighton but can't justify knowing that he'll rotate hard due to champions league. I'm still happy with trippier though
On WC
Flekken areola
Estu Chilwell Udogie Gusto Henry
Salah Sterling Saka Maddison Sarr
Haaland Alvarez Antonio
Any changes????
Good morning Scouts.
Which would u pick until WC gw9?
A) porro
B) gvardiol
Selling one of Gabriel or Shaw
Rash to foden for free or hold ft?
Hold
