Don't think this is article worthy, since it is by no means comprehensive and quite self-selecting, but when getting Mahrez I was thinking about the bandwagons that truly were worth hopping on for …

Allow me the indulgence of a post, my compatriots. I am one of you, if not in contribution, in spirit at least. Consider this my first comment or post, although I have posted all of once before. (s…

Fpl transfers and bandwagons are a bit like booking with a low cost airline. Get in early, get 'em cheap, get in late and pay through the nose and no doubt enjoy the experience far less. Most playe…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Why are we getting our captaincy selections so wrong? Is it something we are doing? Are we risk averse? Or are the failures of Aguero, Rooney, Sanchez and H…

OK RCA, here are 5 wildcard options for you to ignore. 🙂 I'll leave out the obvious ones - City and Mahrez. And they are not in any special order. 1. Bournemouth attacker. 4 of the next 5 ga…

Times of most recent price changes: (UK) 02:14 , 02:16 , 02:14 , 02:13 , 02:13 , 02:13 , 02:13 So half an hour earlier than we have been used to in the last couple of seasons

Following up on my Shaqiri post( http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/08/23/the-scoreboard-gameweek-3-sunday-2/?hc_page=4#hc_comment_11039319 ) I thought i'd do a little something on Bournemo…

Forget FPL.... Who do you think is the better number 10? Ozil or Coutinho For me its Coutinho by a mile, he has far worse players around him yet takes the game by the scuff of the neck and make…

When things settle out after the wildcard wildebeest herds of FFS have finished stampeding and the hit mania has passed we will get to a more stable phase when there will be some really nice bargai…

Scout Pick Community Champion Lottery – Gameweek 4 This season we have revamped how we involve the community in our Scout Picks. Once again we are on the look out for a champion to represent the…

People should remember that saving a transfer this week will mean having two transfers for the international break. Could be useful as many things can happen which we would not expect 😉

I think that I will become a troll, and encourage people to buy Pedro. Hazard will therefore fall faster ... 😉

Ok, so Payet wasn't involved in any of the 3 goals. I remember Hazard not getting anything from 5 goals against Swansea last season. After that match though, he was involved in pretty much every …

I really like Ayew. He's selfish beyond belief. Good fantasy option.

People claiming williams is a better option than Naughton are owners in denial. Even before yesterday attacking stats and bps system were both in his favour (only a yellow had prevented him getting…

Morning all - I posted this yesterday, but didn't get much of a response and wouldn't mind some thoughts from a new crowd. I've been hypothesising, and thinking about the structure of current WC …

Who is the most nailed on City defender now? I think its a lot less clear cut

Hi all, I have just done some further research into defensive rotations to go with a City and United defender. This leaves one spot per week to be filled among 3 players. Huth and Richards seem pop…

After that useful little hot topic about Norwich, as a Bournemouth follower (not fan), I thought I'd return the favour... I'm sure many of you will have watched, and been impressed with, Bournemou…

Kolarov looks great value at 5.5m. However, the one BIG question that needs answering before we get Kolarov: is he nailed? The constant rotation with Clichy last season is what put most people off…

i noticed that spidermatt says he does it in 3 week planning phases i have always based it around 6 weeks but have begun to think this is too long. how long do others plan in advance and why?

WC Template front 8 is shaping up with something along the lines of Sanchez, Silva, Payet, Mahrez, 4.5, Aguero, Gomis, 1 other forward. Besides from the template front 8 for WC teams that everyon…

Questions for the Scoutcast team Feel free to leave your questions here for tonight's live scoutcast (9pm kick off) Expecting a fair few about wildcards, Rooney, Chelsea and Man City.
