The Gameweeks might slow down for a couple of weeks but we're still in need of a new Community Champion. The Scouts have picked up another win in Gameweek 16 with a score of 84-64 thanks to a shre…

Is Jimenez out the right choice? He's dropped from £7.7m to £7.5m. There are plenty of great forward options so maybe it's just too difficult to fit him in, especially with Rashford in such gre…

After watching the West Ham v Arsenal game last night, I'm tempted to bring in Man City attacking assets. The first half was absolutely woeful. Stale is an understatement. The sloppy defending al…

Chelsea assets are definitely testing the patience of FPL managers. Abraham’s injury in 14, return with a goal in 15, injury worries again in the build up to 16 (which were proved unfounded) bu…

Morning all! What's everyone's thoughts on Rashford? Going to keep this up, or will he and United struggle against teams who sit back a bit more? On paper the fixtures look nice over Christmas, …

Liverpool would have played 17 games in two months by the end of GW24. Watford home GW17, Wolves home GW20 & Sheffield Utd home GW21 all have rotation written all over them for Salah & Mane etc. …

It was about this time last year that Mo Salah scored a hat trick at Bournemouth and I had what was probably my best gameweek of the season as I captained the Egyptian whilst others were moving him…

What we learnt in the runup to Gameweek 16… You might notice a few teams are missing. This is mainly because I can’t find a press conference from their boss or because there was nothing that I…

Bournemouth v Liverpool I expect a big response from Salah. One of the most selfish players in the premier league. He will be fresh and should be raring to go after seeing how Origi and Shaq step…

Liverpool defence... Even Jonny Evans has taken over Robertson, and is joint with TAA on points. They're still right up there, but obviously come with a hefty price tag. It's difficult to get ri…

Scoutcast tonight 9pm! - Looking ahead to Gameweek 16 In the meantime feel free to leave your questions for us here.

What to do with Raheem Sterling? £11.9m and a 4th blank in 5 games last night. He's still averaging 5.6ppm for the season, the GW1 score obviously helped with that, but he has only had 2 double …

Cheers Kroos Kontrol, this is a great idea! Some fond memories of past successes there, and plenty that I overlooked / ignored for far too long (cough Vardy!). Who makes your FPL team of the decad…

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 ro…

Morning all! With 2 attacking returns each in GW14 the race is hotting up between Son and Alli for the best Spurs midfield option. After no shots in the box for Alli vs West Ham he racked up FIVE…

Live Scoutcast tonight (Monday) at 8pm Let us know your questions here as we look ahead to Gameweek 15 and beyond. Which player, team and talking point should we discuss?

It sounds as if Tammy Abraham will miss at least a couple of games, so I’m on the hunt for a replacement. It’s really tough to choose, so I’m using the Rate My Team tool. Here’s the forwar…

What we learnt in the runup to gameweek 14... Liverpool There was confirmation from Liverpool that Fabinho would miss out for up to 8 weeks with an ankle ligament injury but Klopp can’t be sure…

New gameweek, new community champion! A strange week for the Scouts, with some calculated risks backfiring but two heroic performances from Vardy and Mane (c) saves their blushes. The Community Ch…

Scoutcast tomorrow (TUES) at 8pm. Feel free to leave your questions for us here. What teams, players and talking points do you think we should cover?

Vardy captain for me - rested, plays 90 minutes, penalties, player and team on fire and Brighton are not the sort of team to play deep this season so he should get chances. That said, I don’t h…
