Limping out of the blocks like three flabby Dads at their kids’ Sports Day, Granville, Jonty and myself are in a sheepish mood for the first ScoutCast of the season.

We do our upmost to rouse some enthusiasm for the events of Gameweek 1, buoyed by tales from you, the community and your latest round of finely honed questions, drilling down into the current big dilemmas.

Chelsea and Arsenal’s stuttering start, the strategy surrounding Aguero and Sanchez, plus the top targets ahead of Friday’s 6.45 deadline provide plenty to distract me from the fact that I’d been robbed of a David Silva goal just minutes before coming on air.

This ScoutCast was recorded on Monday evening and went out live via our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to our channel to get updates on the next cast if you want to drop in live.

You can relieve the Google Hangout version, warts and all, via the larger movie player below. Or, if you’d prefer the low-fat edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the smaller player below.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Play Ritchie or Azpi?

    Other defenders are Coates, Cedric and Kos. I have STaylor too but he doesn't count

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Think I'm going with Azpi. Bus parking time

    2. Squires FC
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ritchie

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ritchie

    4. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ritchie

      1. Call Me Old Fashioned
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks all

  2. Torres76
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Walcott

    Fpl stats 97.3% - 680 delta

    Anyone think wally will drop tonight?

    1. The Brummie
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Nah dont think wally is that into drugs

    2. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      One of the closest ones ever, probably won't.

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      It will be close ... Hope he trolls those that sold him.

      1. Torres76
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        You lot sold him?

        1. Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Keeping.

  3. Theatre_Of_Screams
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I've just wildcarded. Is it a good or bad idea to pick Benteke and then take him out after GW2 for free with Aguero? Or should l just start Aguero?

    1. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Any ideas of a draft WC team?

      1. Theatre_Of_Screams
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Adrian (McCarthy)

        Williams Yoshida Gomez (Jenkinson, Oxford)

        Hazard Sanchez Silva Albrighton (Westwood)

        Aguero Gomis Deeney

        0.5m ITB to change Adrian to Hart

        It's not amazing but it's quite balanced and get some really big hitters.

        1. Torres76
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Nice team mate. Food for thought...

          1. Theatre_Of_Screams
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks mate

    2. Squires FC
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I've wildcarded too. Have aguero sanchez & hazard in there. Your gonna need them in the long run so may as well do it now regardless of fixtures imo

      1. Torres76
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        What's your team matey?

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd just get him now to save the transfer. Don't like to preplan transfers

  4. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Good to Go?

    Ruddy

    Ogbonna Coates Prodl

    Walcott Payet Mane Sterling

    Kane (vc) Benteke (c) Rooney

    Butland Fletcher Richards Mings

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Looking good bud 🙂

  5. Nate01
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Long term

    1 Payet

    2 Ayew

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      1

    2. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Payet all day long. He had 17 assist last season, translated to fantasy language, that would be 20+ "fantasy assist"...

    3. Squires FC
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Both look v good. Payet looks like a season keeper though for sure. Real class

    4. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Payet. Compare WHU and SWA midfielders. Ayew competes with Siggy, Montero and Shelvey. Payet's competition are all a class below him. Like Mark Noble.

    5. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ayew is a better goalscorer, I'd go for him if money matters.

    6. Nate01
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks lads ive gone with walcott to payet as price does not matter-
      i can get aguero in GW3 either way

  6. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Bottled it. Was on aguero (c) now on payet (c)

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I think that is a wise switch.

    2. FBorges
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      well done

  7. Shearer & Sutton
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I'm ready sell Theo. First I think sell Theo after Friday deadline. But I change my mind.
    Maybe it's boring.
    My limit price for new midfielder is 7.0m.
    Ayew or Chadli... hmmm Ayew for me.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Might I turn your head to Shaqiri?

      1. Shearer & Sutton
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Not yet time to Shaqiri. Maybe later when he play few match.
        But Tadic is also one option.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Perhaps, though I think he will start next game seems hes very fit. Aye, Tadic a wonderful choice too.

    2. Rotation City
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd hold.

    3. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd save.

  8. Gravless wonder
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you be for next six between ayew and coutinho (price rising tonight)

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ayew

  9. Suprexo
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    What do u guys think of this team?

    Hart

    Kolorov bellerin clyne

    Hazard mahrez mane Depay

    Rooney Kane gomis

    Subs: Keyl Oxford Morgan wanyama

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Not a huge fan of the double City defense. Besides that, though, it looks good. I'd go without Hazard too.

      1. Suprexo
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yup that bothered me too Walsh! I'm on a WC so got any changes you'd recommend?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Hazard to Alexis, Clyne to Lovren Hart to Fabianksi and Memphis to Silva.

          1. Suprexo
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I like the Hazard to Alexis idea.. planning on keeping Memphis for now though.

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              Cheers mate. Good luck 🙂

              1. Suprexo
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                You too man!

    2. Suprexo
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Torn between keeping Gomis or swapping him out for payet. Help

  10. KUN+10
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Triple captain tekkers?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Mental.

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      DGW

    3. Tiki-Taka
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely not, use on DGW

      1. KUN+10
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        good deal then...way to bring a guy down...lol

  11. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    So so so so tempted to captain walcott

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Just, why? Such a needless risk, its bad enough just having him

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        This.

      2. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Every captaincy is a risk. Not starting is only one point worse than blanking.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I don't subscribe to that logic.

          1. Scoredelario
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            well my reasoning is I think he will start and palace away is his ideal game.

            I think there's maybe a 25% chance he won't start which is the risk component. Wenger said rotate and this is the perfect time to demonstrate he wasn't bullshitting.

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              Owning someone priced at 9.0 who you aren't sure will start is a big enough risk. Risking your captaincy on him is foolhardy to me. Of course it could pay off, but I don't think the risk surrounding that makes it worthwhile especially with several other players looking like good captaincy options this gameweek.

        2. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          That doesn't make any sense at all. Some captaincy options are less risky than others. Walcott tops the list of the most risky.

          1. Scoredelario
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            He has better goalscoring odds than my other players including Sakho. The bookies aren't so confident he will blank

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              He probably won't even start!

            2. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              The bookies cover all scenarios. No point giving his real odds if people will take shorter ones.

      3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Are you keeping Ryan ? Who Swansea are playing probably scare me more than Ayew tbh .

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I also don't see the point in having an Aguero place holder and no Aguero + cash itb .

        2. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          The only reason I'm likely to keep is because he was always a 2/3 GW punt. The idea was to sell him to the best mid priced asset. The only problem is that right now I don't know who the best mid priced asset is. I'm prepared to give it another week and see what pops up. The 0.1 doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather make a sound decision.

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Seems sensible . Good luck with your decision

          2. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            100% this.

    2. Rotation City
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      You would be a hero to many.

    3. Tiki-Taka
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Unnecessary risk

    4. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Keep? Yes.

      Captain? Probably not, although there aren't too many standout options this week.

    5. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Just having him is enough of a differential

  12. Tiki-Taka
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Oxford to start away at Leicester guys? Read that Obiang is back in full training and he missed Arsenal more as a 'precautionary measure'. Oxford likely to be sub based on this I imagine?

    1. Tiki-Taka
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      home to leicester*

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      He certainly played well enough to keep his place. I expect him to start.

      1. Tiki-Taka
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Hmm, would you play him above one of PVA / Bellerin / Targett?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          No

          1. Tiki-Taka
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            That's my thinking. Although he played well vs Arsenal I'm still doubtful about him starting and Leicester are threatening as it is

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't start Oxford if he is in your team. Swansea look really good on attack and will score. Oxford will lose his place soon but I don't think it will be this weekend.

      1. Tiki-Taka
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yep had him from GW1, got his cleansheet off the bench thanks to Bellerin no show! Do you mean Leicester? :p But yeah Leicester look threatening on the attack, would you play him above PVA/Targett/Bellerin?

      2. Keno
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        West Ham plays Leic, not Swansea

        1. Keno
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I am in the same boat TIKI, gotta pick between Targett and Oxford

          1. Tiki-Taka
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I'm worried about Oxford not starting but coming on as sub for a 1 pointer so think I am gonna bench him

        2. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          My bad. For some reason I though Oxford played for Newcastle.

          Even so Leicester look strong on attack right now

          1. Tiki-Taka
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            No probs mate, cheers

  13. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Feedback on my wildcard team please lads... not gonna have time for changes after tonight...

    Fabianski mccarthy
    Clyne Alderweireld Francis darmain Oxford
    Hazard sanchez payet mahrez Westwood

    Good fixtures. Westwood & Oxford are bench rotters

    Cheers

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Good transfer.

      You're captaining the messiah that is Walcott ? I like your style 😉

  16. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Doesn't matter if Theo drops, he'll be 9.1m by next weekend anyway 😉

    It's laughable how fickle people can be on here when the masses turn on a player.

      So much this

    2. Just A Hat
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I feel like it is fair, we all though he was nailed on after some good performances and no Sanchez..

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        He was never nailed on, not even slightly, Wenger said it himself weeks ago that Giroud and Walcott would be rotated, and after Walcott played most of the Chelsea match, it was always a possibility that Giroud would be played against a physical West Ham.

        Now away from home against a very attacking and leaky Palace side with space to run in behind? I'm not hopeful of a high return on Koscielny but I definitely wouldn't be selling Walcott.

        Sanchez is not back yet either, he was only thrown in as they were 2-0 down.

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      It makes no sense to sell him now if you own him, in my opinion. Just save it and lose him on a double switch next week. The group think on FFS surrounding Feo was astonishing. Objectively he was/is always not assured of starts but people pushed that aside at the expense of his explosiveness.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly, but it is some of the very same people that were quoting his explosiveness that are now ignoring that and running scared from a measly 0.1 drop in price. Tis madness.

      For me it scuppers all best laid plans to get in Aguero. Cannot afford a price drop as it would ruin my team and therefore my life. 🙁

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Worry about getting in Aguero next week. We only have 1 gameweek to go on so far, a new budget option could easily appear.

    6. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      9.2 next week. 🙂

  17. Gravless wonder
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Fantasyfootballfix have 98.1 % accuracy for price estimates so far (albeit for a small sample).

    Walcott is on 96% and estimates to drop tomorrow not tonight.

  18. Nate01
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Have rooney > aguero planned for GW3 but what if rooney scores v avl? would be silly to take him out before a juicy NEW fixture right? Just wonder if aguero can do more damage against eve...

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd still make the move. Aguero is simply a far better fantasy option.

  19. cogs
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    In a bit of a sticky situation here:

    So I have already done Sterling --> Ayew earlier in the week, leaving me with 2 mil to do Walcott--> Sanchez.

    However now, with Walcott likely dropping, I won't be able to afford this..

    Take the hit and do it now? Really want to keep Walcott for this week tho.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd recommend just chilling, Cogs.

      1. cogs
        • 11 Years

        Seen the posts above, think I will !

  20. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    If you guys are so confident Walcott will fail, why not start up a bookies and undercut them all since they're giving relatively short odds for him to score.

  21. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    So ive now blown my load and got Sanchez in. Walcott will get a hatty and now Ive got to try and sleep thinking "Now who do I captain?" Help me sleep, first to 5.......

    A - Sanchez or

    B - Rooney?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd go with Alexis.

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      San(c)hez if you have him

  22. Helia
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    struggling to decide on my 5th mid and my 3rd striker.

    A) mahrez and defoe or a different 5.5 (play whoever has the better fixture and switch from 352 to 343 each week.

    B) 4.5 mid and sakho or a different 6.5 forward (have payet)

    C) mahrez and inghalo (play mahrez most of the time and bank an extra .5

    1. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      B would mean play 343 each week with no selection headaches.

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I like B best.

      1. Helia
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thats what im hearing, something makes me feel good about having a mix of leic sund and hammers though instead of just hammers. Who knows what ill pick last min

    Hello again guys... after blanking last week I decided to hide from you guys... after all of the talk and failing you guys I would like to deeply appologize and to make it up to you, I will bang in a goal this weekend.

    1. cogs

      Thanks !

    2. Sánchez

      One? You owe us one for last week so you need to score 2

    3. Chelsea Dagger

      How about a brace?

    best 5.5m as 4th mid since mahrez already gone?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Shelvey

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Zaha

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        u have him?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          No. I've got Bolasie. Zaha looks primed to take a huge step forward this year if that first game was anything to go off of. His finish was delicious and something he's been lacking in last couple of years.

    3. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      The big bad bald man (shelvey).

    4. semiconductor

      shelvey??? i never considered him. u guys think he is a good shout?

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Taking corners and gets much further forward than Ki. He's the Ramsey of Swansea

  26. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Yes or No?

    Hazard Walcott --> Sanchez Ayew (-4)

    Leaves me exactly with 2.5m to upgrade Roo to Kun next gw ? If wally drops the plan is off.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. cogs
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No

    3. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'm going to go against the grain here and say yes.

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Not worth a hit.

    5. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard -> Sanchez.

      Don't take a hit to get rid of Walcott.

    6. Crouchy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      definitely worth a hit in the long run

    7. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      wouldn't take a hit, especially considering who you are giving up.

  27. Rambo Motin

    Does Mane have any form to bank my C on?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      He looked reasonably threatening against Newcastle. I think he is a fine captaincy option.

        • 13 Years

  28. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    For this week, would you rather have:

    A) Hazard + Ayew/Payet

    B) Walcott + Ayew/Payet

    Ignore the price difference.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      A by a mile. Hazard is nailed on.

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Nailed For 2/3 points though surely? I'll likely sell him anyway next week as an enabler for silva/kun.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Can never count on Hazard to blank.

      A

    3. Irish Madridista ⭐

      For this week only, Walcott and Payet

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      A. Nailed on to play, on penalties, far better player.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Nowhere near as many points-per-90-minutes though, and up against a much harder defence.

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          True. If we look beyond this one GW though there's only one of the two worth having and it isn't Theo. Depends on which he currently has I guess.

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure, but it makes them losing Garbutt look a bit poor. Galloway at a 4.5 route into their defense looks very tidy looking forward when their fixtures turn though...

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        What happened to Garbutt? was it a loan move?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years

          Yes, to a Championship side if memory serves.

            Its possible. Everton have terrible fixtures anyway.
