ScoutCast Extra Time – How Mark is playing Gameweek 2

In the first edition of ScoutCast Extra Time, Joe finds out how Gameweek 1 went for Mark, and how he intends to play Gameweek 2. You can watch the video below or on our YouTube channel.

Spurred on by 72 points but with 30 on his bench from the opening round of fixtures, he is keeping his captain’s armband on Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) for Liverpool’s trip to Crystal Palace. However, he does admit to being worried about the potential damage inflicted by Sergio Aguero (£11.0m).

Benjamin Mendy (£6.0m) will slot into Mark’s first XI for a home match against Huddersfield Town, as it was the Frenchman who made up 50 percent of the bench opening weekend bench score. In fact, Mark went as far as to say he will never bench Mendy again.

On the transfer front, Sutherns Comfort look set to hold firm this week, enabling two free moves and perhaps a “mini Wildcard” for Gameweek 3. With that in mind, the pair tentatively look ahead to assess the possible options.

  3. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 10 Years

    This is why going 3 4.0s in defence is too risky

    3. I'm out of name ideas
      • 7 Years

    Jamie Jackson essential

    1. Francescoli
      • 10 Years

      😀

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Where was Jamie Jackson when we needed him?? Lee Peltier a no show for Cardiff and not a word about it from Jackson!!!!!! Massive let down.

  14. Lallana's Bananas
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Peltier not even on the bench! What's that all about?

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Warnock has Wan-Bisaka on his fpl bench

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Could be injured. Wait and see.

  15. CostaCoffee
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Kun (c), so Aguero on the bench confirmed

  16. columbo
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    My 4.5 midfielder Camarasa starts, interested to see what he can do

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Probably won’t actually be that interesting.

  17. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    4.0 mill defender doesn’t start shocker 😉

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Awesome 😎

      Time for all those going full on 4.0 bench fodder to suffer

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Not really. He was only ever playing this game for me. So not a worry in sight.

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I've seen teams with full on 4.0 non-playing keepers and AWB, Peltier AND Bednarek/Bennett...milking the 4.0s for all they're worth

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Wait nail he drops in price tonight 😉

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Wait until he drops in price tonight

            1. Chenku╰☆╮
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              He won't drop in price. Ppl already have WB and trading him will be the last thing ppl do.

              1. Hotdogs for Tea
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 2 months ago

                getting stuck with a 3.9er is FPL suicide 😉

  18. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Peltier just rested?

  19. SADIO SANÉ
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    wonder if Bennett gets dropped too … Wanny-B to be the only survivor

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      very likely when Dendonker ready

  20. MTPockets
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Oh Peltier

    • The Abyss
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      In 2016 Jamie Jackson said this -
      http://www.punditarena.com/football/english-football/jmurphy/top-guardian-journalist-counters-the-entire-media-industry-with-mourinho-claim/

      He also follows up the Aguero tweet on his account by advertising the fact he's a writer of fiction.

      Kun (c) done!

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. A breather.

      2. Totalfootball
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        WTF

      3. Arceus
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Attention seeking deficiency apparently

    • Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      After all that planning and hoping to avoid price drops:
      Hudson-Odoi will drop tomorrow
      A. Sanchez will drop tonight
      Lacazette will drop tonight

      Bit of a price change disaster.
      It looks like I will be forced to get Hazard in for sanchez early on if he does nothing.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Hazard could be gold this season. I'm backing him to finish in the top 3 midfielders.

    • De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Peltier is off the magic bean list of defenders.

      1. Ha.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Why? He hasn’t been benched

        1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I benched him yes.

          Dunk as cover.

    • Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Worst GW ever

      1. I'm out of name ideas
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Don't panic yet mate. Long way to go.

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        He wouldn’t got 2 points anyway

      3. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

    • NATSTER
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Wow. It's not so long waiting for the first surprise.

      Not looking good for Kun (c)

    • Holmes
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Zohore time

    • Make United Great Again
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Premium defence for the win. Never need to worry about these 4.0’s starting

      1. Ha.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        And can’t afford Aguero. Win win.

    • Michelle Davin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Is the cut of at exactly 11 30 or would my captain change still go through even though i changed it at 11 :30 ?:)

    • El-Kloppico
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Ohh.. Daniels 1st sub for Peltier then..
