Yep, Everton get the one goal max imo

Not conceded more than 2 away all season and mostly 1

VLP

*vomit*

B looks profitable in the short term if you have a wildcard

Those look good moves to me

Blank Gw plan?

Also don't understand why he disregarded Mark's point about the number of games Walcott has played. He couldn't exactly produce double digit hauls from the Arsenal bench.

Yes that argument was one of the daftest things I've heard on the scoutcast for some time and that's saying something.

It was v strange. Walcott has only had a handful of starts this season and has a haul.
He's also hauled lots in the past despite being in and out of the ars team.
He was a v explosive player as recently as last season. Baffling.

I'm not worried about historical data with Walcott. He's away to Stoke and Everton suck. Doubt he hauls

Bgws are a poisonous cocktail. Experience says Jonty isnt far off the mark. You are right they might haul. But its the might part that is the issue.

So looks like we're all on Walcott then 😆

I would take what Jonty says with a large pinch of salt. I think most of what he says is just to disagree with things said.

Earlier in the season he went from Firmino being useless, to being great, to being useless again and now he’s great.

His inability to grasp Mark’s point regarding the extrapolation of Walcott’s games and hauls was baffling.

Also he’s very narrow minded to looking behind not in front in regards to points potential and struggles to think outside the ‘stats’ box.

i think that marks point that most people that play the free hit will most likely get walcott in and so it would be wise to get him in as a blocker because he does have potential to haul if he does or doesn't is secondary.
The pool of players to choose from is so small that people playing the free hit will have 3 liverpool shaq walcott for sure so to own these is probably essential.
Also i thought Az and Andy's point that they will look at getting 3 or 4 punts in and take the gamble spend 8 or 12 points and get in players like benteke, mounie and zaha (if fit) is a reasonable strategy as they said you just need one of them to haul to make the hits worthwhile and these are players you would never go for otherwise the only problem is it locks the wildcard in for 32.

I think Jonty is great on the Scoutcast - it would be boring if they all agreed, someone having a different opinion forces others to think deeper about their position and defend it. As community manager I imagine it's part of his job description to create debate amongst the community - here we are all typing away and debating!

With the Walcott argument there are valid reasons for having him, and valid reasons for ignoring him (and Everton). I actually think Everton are playing two form teams in the next two fixtures and whatever Walcott's xG stats may be, I worry they won't do too well regardless. Then they play Man City in GW32!

I think as an FPL manager it's important to remain level-headed, and not get dragged into defending one side of the debate/argument. Psychological framing is important to bear in mind - read this http://whogottheassist.com/psychology-corner-framing/

Essentially finding the counter argument is a worthwhile exercise. Weigh up both sides and then, with as little emotion as possible, decide what you think is best. That's what i'm going to try to do on the Walcott debate, I don't own him but he is one of the players under serious consideration for this week.

I think it is also worth pointing out that Jonty is having an excellent season, and out performing the others on the Scoutcast. He's even ahead of Jay at the moment. Perhaps with this Walcott argument he's simply trying to create confusion to make sure he stays ahead?

It is tight.

I'm playing Ogbonna 4th def probably

B.

You need 58 to be ready 😉

Pickford and Mariappa playing against your attackers. Who you bringing in? They going to clash as well?

Lovely team. Easy save.

I didn't want him to play against Basel. More likely he returns against Stoke

Appearance from the bench would've been the only thing that convinced me to keep

Depends. Was he not in the squad because he still isn't fit enough to play or because it was a dead rubber that they didn't need him in? Hopefully Pep gives us something useful tomorrow.

Best case scenario was he came off the bench and did well, he didn't and instead wasn't in the squad, which casts too much doubt over him and means it's probably best to sell.

i think mooy is still injured

If fit I prefer Mooy. On penalties

Meh. B

B for the attacking threat.

Interesting. Last 2 times Palace away to Chelsea 2-1 to Palace. Last time Benteke and Zaha scored and assisted

What's the point of owning Schindler and Keane if benching at home to Swansea and Brighton

A, D

I'm buying this week

Keep.

Cheers guys, so you have got some experience with it right? What more would you recommend?

Look up 'Ponzi scheme' before you do.

You have some new info?

Probably but not looking like price-dropping for a couple of days so can be patient

Good moves.

Yes but i prefer Coleman.

That is a joke right? 😀

Wait and see

The problem is they have to focus on the Europa League as their route into the Champions League for next season. Will be hard to predict Wenger's starting lineups in the league if they're going all out for Europa.

I wanted a reason not to get Ramsey. After Milan no brainer Deulofeu>Ramsey with 2FT and roll the other FT. All the 31 players outside Liverpool are frankly rubbish

I think Ramsey is a great option, he's averaged 5.58 points per game this season which is great for 6.9m. He also has good fixtures. I might bring him in myself tomorrow depending on Sterling news

Correct decision for sure, although I'm hoping it will bite you! 😉

What are you rabbiting on about now Virg?

BPS and chips could be innovated for sure. Some great ideas out there. 10-15 best proposals should be voted on lets say 2 weeks before the end of the season by public. Similar to captain charts, highest picks implemented next season.

Just been reading through it all. I'm pretty exhausted with all the postulating and people having a pop at other peoples' strategies. It's probably how different religions started lol.

The FHC will boost any gameweek. There's a lot to be said for using it in a DGW to maximise all the latest information on injuries and form and pick your best 11. I'd still like to play the BB in a DGW, but perhaps the FHC is next best because it impacts 11 players while the TC relies on you nailing one player.

I do find it funny that at the beginning of the season everyone said the FHC would be great in a blank GW. The worse the blank, the better. Now, the tide of opinion has changed - coloured by the fact people have been using FT's to get GW31 players and they can't wait to WC in GW32. Perhaps we like to overthink things.

Even Mark looks worn out by it all. Andy and AZ dive for shelter while seemingly waiting for the storm to pass, before Mark encourages them with a few encouraging tit bits.

Maybe the Scouts have lost a bit of enthusiasm for FPL. I mean, if they do something different they get slaughtered for it. But when you have a blank GW and you're fielding less than 11 players, and you can't back yourself to bring in a player that might break even, it's pretty depressing. Where's the fun gone?

The episode with Jay was one of the best I've seen because of the fresh thoughts and ideas he provided but for some reason they haven't had anyone else on since then.

[Bemba]
*shudders 😆

I do sometimes wonder when Az or Andy are going to be brought into the conversation. They're kind of bulldozed to a degree. Think 5 is just too big a round table TBH.

Back on the sauce again RCA?
🙂

This is a good read, and the replies as well. Could not agree more. I loved the episode with Jay as well.. not sure I agree on all of your recommendations of guest apperances though, though there were a couple of good mentions 😀

I thought it was a great scoutcast and i really enjoyed the discussion on the bps system chips and gw31.

Jonty is going to play conservatively that is just his style but Andy who has a more reckless style did advocate taking a hit if i remember correctly so there was another point of view on how to play it.

I would also love to see some of the community on the show from time to time some of the names you mentioned would be great.

If RuthNZ made an appearance on the show it would be box office i would gladly pay for view to see that.

Jonty is the master cherry picker man. For someone so obsessed with statistics his interpretation is woeful

You will loose even more value getting sterling back on that wc..

Hey OB

I brought Mahrez in 2 GW's ago for this nice run of fixtures and DGW34 as I've used my 2nd WC already. I also brought in Eriksen at the same time with 2 x FT's.

I kind of expected a little more returns from them. Ok, Mahrez scored in the 96th minute or something ridiculous and I'd be considering it a disaster if he hadn't. Heaven knows how Vardy owners much be feeling.

Although Leicester blank in GW31, they are playing Chelsea in the FA Cup, so just be mindful of that if you're thinking of bringing in Mahrez this week. Maybe last week was the ideal time and now leave it until GW32?

No. Hudd don't keep CS I think Palace will score in 31 and Sterling could play. Everton are junk

A revamp next seaon would be cool. The chips on the Norwegian version seem far more exciting!

Good stuff

Thanks, he's an option but if Mooy is back he could be the one for 31. Prichard maybe. But tbh I might go without either of them on FH. Thinking one of GK, Schindler or Zanka perhaps. But I do fancy Palace I that one, especially if Zaha is fit for it!
