Two Gameweeks down and already the dilemmas are building; the siren song of the Wildcard button is calling.

Failing big hitters are the major bone of contention as Jonty, Andy and Luke join me for the second ScoutCast of the season.

We give our verdicts on Spurs talisman Harry Kane, while also assessing the fall-out from Manchester City and, in particular, the shot-shy Kevin De Bruyne.

Driven by another round of community questions, we also chew over The Pogba vs Mkhitaryan debate and the big Bournemouth bail out, before previewing Gameweek 3.

Oh, and after his ten point return on the Aaron Mooy investment, we wrestle to prevent Jonty dropping his name into the conversation at every opportunity. I think I counted two. That’s a win for everyone involved.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

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

    Mooy or Richarlison? Why?

    Thank you.

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Richarlison
      More talented
      Better manager
      Better team

      Mooy
      More nailed
      A little cheaper

    2. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Richarlison: 6 shots all in the box and 4 key passes.

      Mooy: Meh

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Richarlison is probably worth the risk of Mooy is your other option.

    4. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Mooy because he has a potato head

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Swell comment!

        +1

    5. bigbudgie

      Word of warning on Richarlison - he's a young guy, no English, will be eased in. Expect some benchings

      1. IL Fantasista
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Manager's also young and portuguese. I'm sure he can help big rich if he has trouble with the language.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          He's going to help him by "being calm" with him and easing him in.

          1. IL Fantasista
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Agreed. Good point.

  2. lando2k5
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Will Salah likely drop tonight?

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You will find out soon

    2. lando2k5
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Was wondering if I should just hold him or switch him out for Mane for free.

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Salahs price drop doesn't matter as you won't lose value on him.

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Unless he paid 9.1

        1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Correct

      2. lando2k5
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Nice, thanks

  3. hjalmarekdal
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What do you guys think of Calvert-Levin at 5.0£? Pretty good option isn't he?

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No. Everton will sign.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If I trusted RK not to rotate him yeah 😆 Say they have 4 'attacking' spots, 2 holders, new tall striker arrives... who starts?

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Probably a super sub for Sandro or another forward shortly.

  4. El Lobito 10
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    For draft players:

    Would you get in Rose now while you can?

    If so, I have to boot out one of Jones, PvA, Blind Kompany or Bertie. Which one or none?

    Cheers

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Blind out wouldnt be too bad

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks!

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      none

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers!

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rose for Blind.

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'd boot PVA for a punt on Rose without hesitation.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks to both of you

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Is Rose back now?

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Later

  5. lennie123456789

    8 years, 3 months ago

    About to WC talk me out of this!

    Foster Elliot
    Trip Cedric Jones 4 4
    Alli Eriksen Mane Richarlison 4.5
    Luk Laca Chicha

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      WC should be catching price rises. Worst time to do it now

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        This is true, but double rises have been virtually nonexistent this season.

        1. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          The money making wildcard schemes are long gone!

          Last few seasons the market has been so slow so makes no difference now for monies really. You might save .1 on a player dropping and then getting back if you wana keep but that looks about it

          1. BananaNose Maldonado
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Totally agree.

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'd need to see the team you have now.

      1. lennie123456789
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Foster Elliot
        Stephens Baily Trip 4 4
        KDB Willian Ramsey Grob
        Kane Kaku Firm

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          There's no reason to wildcard that team. You'll need to deal with Gross and Stephens, eventually, but Firmino to Hernandez next week should give you the cash you need.

    3. lennie123456789
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ok thanks all for the help

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I have a similar team with worse midfield. I just took -4 I'm sticking with that front 3 Kane C this week

  6. kavin111
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    i took Jesus should i remove? it's minus 0.1 already.. gut says to be patient but guardiola tinkers too much.

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I would keep him unless you're getting Kane in.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sticking with him for one more round.. Hope he bangs a couple this week and is in for the rise so I can switch him to laca.. Laca rotates so well with kane in terms of the (C) options

  7. _Greg
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Pogba, let's have that rise boyyyy

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      you beautyyyy

  8. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is bench correct for draft team?

    Foster
    Trippier / Davies / Stones / Stephens
    Alli / Salah / Ozil / Silva
    Jesus / Benteke

    Heaton / Pedro / Defoe / Koscielny

    Should I drop Stephens for....

    A) Moses
    B) Maguire
    C) Jones
    D) Keep

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I think so and I'd go Blind.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He is also an option.

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah he sure going under the radar as people don't think he is nailed.

          1. El Lobito 10
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Is* not sure

          2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            He is nailed?

  9. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    That's it, going in to the GW with no Kane. But Alli is a massive differential for me. No one seems to have him in (in my ML of 20 anyway)

    1. lennie123456789
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking about ditching Kane for alli eriksen double up surely if he scores they're involved?

    2. Elvy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Alli is hardly mentioned around here anymore. He's the second most owned player in FPL. Looked dangerous in the game against Chelsea. This week or next people will probably be taking hits to get rid of Eriksen for Alli....

  10. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Where is the price changes at?!

    1. _Greg

      ...

  11. 4. Arsenal FC

    Anyone know who starts as LB or Watford this GW?

    2. I Member

      Good man Daniels.

      1. IRBOX ⚽

        Indeed!

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Selling Salah now is insanity imo

    4. Pigeon

      • 9 Years

      Phew, Alonso didnt rise

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Will rise tommorow though

    7. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years

      Evans could be cheap as chips in city colours

    8. Turbolag
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Well, something is very wrong with the algorithm.

    9. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Salah drop is madness

    10. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Salah back to 9. Nice.

      Backup plane in place

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        To leave the country?

        1. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          That would be nice 😆

    11. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years

      You Salah sellers will rue the double digit haul this weekend

        The sheep control the market

    12. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Salah price drop is bizarre but welcome given I'd like to bring him in soonish. Sané price drop also welcome - I hop his price plummets so when he gets a run he'll be chip as chips 🙂

      1. Football Weekender
        • 9 Years

        *cheap as chips

    G'day mates!

    (Always wanted to say this)

    1. Dreams
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Happy for you that you have fulfilled your wish.

      1. IL Fantasista
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Such indulgence is respectfully appreciated.

  14. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    David Silva or Willian or Richarlison (On WC)

    Thank you.

    1. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Silva just rised

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Do you have Silva in your current team? Just went up 0.1

  15. El Lobito 10
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus. He got taken off because they went down to ten men. Was very unlucky in the first game. Him and KdB will come good.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Pecking order - Kun then Jesus

    2. Magic Bean
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He got taken off because Aguero is more in favour, that's the important part

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah true bit that was Pep a few days ago. He's changed his mind at least 1,000 times since then.

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling replaced him and basically played just as far forward, so it hardly seems he was taken off because of the red card. He was completely absent in the first half and Pep needed a spark is how I read it.

  16. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    When Arnie is back from suspension and with Antonio and Lanzini fit, who would miss out for West Ham?

    Their front six will likely have their two central midfielders and Chicarito and then which three from Arnie, Ayew, Antonio and Lanzini play?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Good for Bilic, bad for us.

    2. AA33
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ayew will most out imo

      • Darth_Krid
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ayew, definitely. Also, RIP Snodgrass 😛

      • BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ayew looks well suited to be a 25-30 minute sub who brings energy and pace.

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Took a punt on Richarlison.

      Feels very risky but exciting 🙂

    4. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      On WC

      A) Kolasinac + Antonio + Firmino (343)

      B) Alonso + Mané + Quaner (442)

      1. Magic Bean
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        B

      2. Darth_Krid
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        A, really like the Antonio pick for the next 3.

        1. Pigeon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah I think he could do damage, only problem is WHam's depth in midfield, who would drop out?

          1. Darth_Krid
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Ayew, plus Arnie is banned for those 3 games I mentioned. Antonio is probably first name on the team sheet alongside Hernandez.

            1. Pigeon
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Ah right ok thanks, are you taking a punt on him as well?

              1. Darth_Krid
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                Possibly after the break, but want to save 2FT so Eriksen will be the priority this week.

      3. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        B

      4. mikess
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        B I think

      5. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        A, easily, but without Kolasinac. What are your other options? Trippier? Toby? Luiz? Bailly?

        1. Pigeon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I would rather have Trip if Aurier went away, I feel like Kola is the best Alonso alternative but I'm undecided

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      KDB @ -83%

      Should get to see him play at £10m 🙂

      1. Darth_Krid
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I really want to keep him for Bournemouth, but also he's my only way to get a Eriksen. Have 2FT and don't want one going to waste over the break 🙁

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years

          Whatever you do don't let it go to waste. Whether its shifting KDB or not, use it on bench fodder even.

            Funnily enough, I once won a ML by the 'fewest transfers' tiebreaker 😛

            Chance of repeating that are very slim though! I think the move makes sense until City assets become clearer. Give some me funds for future moves too.

      Would any of you drop Sterling or Son for Jesé/Richarlison in a draft league? The old frequently benched but explosive vs nailed and steady points debate.

      Cheers!

        Not this week. Own Son in draft and will play every week.

          Sterling perhaps but could miss a haul.

          1. Darth_Krid
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers TM. Yep, already benched Sterling last week in place of Ramsey and Monreal, don't want to make the same mistake again!

            Only problem is I know those two will be snapped up this week by others if I don't get a waiver in. It's a high quality league unfortunately.

              Sterling out before Son in that case if you want a new mid.

              1. Darth_Krid
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                Think I'll hold then. Son will get game time and a few starts when champions league rotation kicks in.

                Midfield is:

                Ozil, Tadic, Ramsey, Sterling, Son.

                  • 16 Years
                  8 years, 3 months ago

                  Sterling likely to get game time too.

              • 11 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              I would do Sterling to Jesé. Don't let the next three tough fixtures scare you away in a season-long format.

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years

        Pep is more puzzling than Poch, Son will always get minutes, starts too in a 4-2-3-1

          lmao this

    9. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      With Koscielny back, is Bellerin likely to miss out? i.e. Koscielny to partner Monreal and Mustafi in central defence, with Ox and Kolasinac as wing-backs?

      1. Turbolag
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        One of Bellerin and Ox is likely getting benched.

      2. Darth_Krid
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Strong rumours Mustafi is leaving. Bellerin was awful at the weekend, Wenger might try Ox at right wing back as he was singing his praises at the presser.

        Probably Kosc, Holding/Per, Monreal as back 3.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Regardless of the back 3, is your gut feeling that Bellerin misses out?

          1. Darth_Krid
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I'd say so yeah. If you have him, I'd look to ship (preferably for Kola). Wouldn't bring him in either.

            1. Pierce34
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah I have him, was considering Spurs defender instead.

              1. Darth_Krid
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                I'd hold out on Spurs for now. Strong Aurier rumours and imminent Rose return. Bailly/Jones? Or even Alonso if budget stretches.

                1. Pierce34
                  • 10 Years
                  8 years, 3 months ago

                  Thanks. Yes, United defence is another possibility. Nothing in the bank so can't get Alonso sadly. I might still get Davies though - Rose's return has been imminent for a few months now 😀

    10. mikess
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Foster, Elliot
      Alonso, Jones, Hagazi (Mee, Mbemba)
      Mkhitaryan, Sanchez, Eriksen, RLC
      Firmino, Kane(C), Chicarito

      Thoughts on this WC team?

      Rotating RLC with Carroll and Mee with Hegazi

      1. Pigeon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Really nice, would rather have Lukaku over Sanchez as of now however

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Risking the punt. Clean sheet and an extra point for a midfield goal. Thanks for input

    11. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Silva an interesting riser, seldom gets a mention in these parts, but clearly being snapped up

      1. Mini Mane Mo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        More pts and cheaper option to KDB atm

      2. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Looks almost as threatening as KdB and even further forward for a lot less

      3. Darth_Krid
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Amazing player, but not great for fantasy. If 'assisting the assister' got points, he'd be the top scorer every year!

    12. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ugh Dummett you creep. Was thinking of swapping him out for Trippier, may as well hold onto him now as he'll be back for GW4

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He won't be back for gw4 mate

    13. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years

      Any thoughts about Salah?
      His price drops to 9.0m again, tempted to buy him (on WC now).

      Thank you.

        i'm considering shedding but that knowledge plus $4.00 US will buy you a decent coffee somewhere

        1. Scratch
          • 16 Years

          Mane is worth the 0.5 extra. Better player and fun to own

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Perfect placeholder for Coutinho in a few weeks 🙂

        Good choice.

      4. mikess
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Definitely contemplating it.

        343/433 Firmino, Carroll Jones & 2 rotating 4.5s in defence

        352/442 Salah, Quaner and 3 rotating 4.5s

      5. Football Weekender
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He's a quality pick. The ill feeling towards him is because he was rested last week, nothing to do with his returns. I think he could match Mané for £0.5m less.

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Could Firmino match them for even more cash spare?

          1. Football Weekender
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            If he keeps penalties and there's as many as last season then there's a chance.

          2. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Firmino's problem is the classification as a forward, otherwise yes, certainly.

            1. mikess
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              As Batigol said penalties are the deciding factor. Fair to say Mane/Salah receive little clean sheet points. Extra goal points for Mane/Salah for say 8 goals could be cancelled out with Firmino scoring two penalties

          3. Positive vibes
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Maybe, but want to play Chicarito as 3rd strikers. Firmino assists, Salah goals 🙂

    14. TOLV TUMS

      probably getting bottomed here, but wth:
      salah to mkhi
      lukaku to kane
      - 8

      stick or twist?? I can't get from lukaku to kane without another move, already used my FT. Also have pogba currently.

      1. Darth_Krid
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Binning Lukaku is madness. Can you do Salah to Eriksen and cover Spurs that way?

        Someone has to get all the assists for Kane's hat trick this weekend 😉

        1. TOLV TUMS
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

        32 I'm predicting.

          🙁

      2. TOLV TUMS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        +/- 5-7 percent on the points but yes

        1. mcrayeps
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          my points in GW2 is -50% from GW1 with 1 change (zaha->ramsey)
          GW1 77, GW2 33

      3. Dreams

        I feel that you may be in for another disappointment this week.

        1. mcrayeps
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          why?

          1. Dreams
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Mounie, richarlison, Pogba and Dann. These people look like the probable black sheep this week. I wouldn't bet on it though. The hauls from other players could make it up. 🙂

    16. UpAndAway
      • 11 Years

      When is Rose expected back? Looking at Davies. Or Jones a better option?

      1. Football Weekender
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Rose was expected back around last Easter and we still haven't seen him, so I wouldn't let that put you off B.Davies.
