FPL Breakfast Club – Episode 2 – Scoutcast legend Wildcards

FPL Breakfast Club returns for another episode today, this time in the build-up to Gameweek 4.

We will be on air between 11:15am and 11:45am on our YouTube channel, but you can also view the video below.

Regulars Joe and David will be joined by special guest and Scoutcast legend Granville to discuss their plans for the upcoming weekend of action.

Just as Mark did last week, Granville has now hit the Wildcard button and is in the final stages of putting his brand new squad together.

He will take us through the decisions he has had to make over the last few days in the minutes before that all important Gameweek 4 deadline at 11:30am.

We will also hear from Joe and David about their latest plans and bring you the team news for Leicester City vs Liverpool too.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp hinted that he may start rotating his side in the near future and if he has done that for the trip to Leicester we’ll get the initial reaction.

    Klopp dropping Liverpool best midfielder Keita don't look too clever but we shall see!

      We don't have a choice.

        Some wayward passing last week, but yeah didn't expect that.

      • FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        It's Jose's fault.

      • goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        It's a squad game. He is still only 3 games in. And he's been really good.

      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Rachid Ghezzal OOP? Is he even listed on FPL?

      1. Sylas
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Need help with that rock?

      2. ENZO SZN™
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Looks like RW, with Maddison No.10 & Gray striker.

    7. Fantastisk
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Henderson is the Keïta success today.

    8. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      where's the breakfast if there's a breakfast club?

      surely you need a breakfast to have a breakfast club

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah you'd think... Otherwise it's morning club. And that's garbage.

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          indeed, and it's 11:37 am anyway so I'm already thinking about lunch

      2. Adro3
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed. Lack of a full English

      3. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I had hoped it would be three grown men struggling to eat bacon and egg sandwiches with dignity, Miliband style.

    9. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Liverpool twitter published the lineup about 30 seconds before deadline, playing spurs early kickoff too.

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        cheers for that info mate

      2. Fantastisk
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Good to know thanks

      3. XabiAlonso
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Il need at least 35seconds to compute and make a decision

      4. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Anyone know how the lineup on my team is organised after transfers? If you transfer out a player in your starting lineup he will probably be replaced by the transfer in, as long as the formation is fpl standards?

        1. jomikijiq
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          yes

      The breakfast club ended very abruptly.

      1. Gazpilicueta

        Does Granville have his own youtube? Id watch him.

        I just want it to end with a raised fist salute and a blast of Simple Minds.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          YES! 😀

      4. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Just seems weird doing a segment like that close to the deadline when most folk will be busy looking for line ups and adjusting their teams.

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I enjoyed it. A good distraction.

      5. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Cut off in mid stroke

        How disappointing that must have been

    16. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Gray OOP?

      1. BadgersBoys
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Madison false 9

      2. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Is he?

        Lineups show him on the left flank.

      3. ENZO SZN™
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Either he or Ghezzal. Maybe both

      4. XabiAlonso
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        You spelt poo wrong

    17. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I might be wrong, but I'm sure Ghezzal has played up front before in Ligue 1.

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Don't remember him playing upfront. He's primarily a winger but also plays in the hole behind the striker.

      2. DeathoftheParty
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I'm pretty sure Sky has him up top. Not gray or Mads

    18. COYS.

      Salah captain and Robbo to start my week.. cheers

        Good luck. Could pay off. Aguero felt the safe option this week.

        Nightmare.Shipped robbo for a hit

    20. joeydelucchi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Given that price rises seem so much more volatile this season ,Walcott 3 rises in 1 week, will this make taking hits more popular and less of a risk as we will need to jump on bandwagons before they are out of reach?

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Walcott has done nothing to warrant being transferred in so much people just want an everton attacker

      2. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Walcott is an exception given the nature of his transfers. Over a million this week. He was always gonna rise se 0.3m, may even rise again tonight

      3. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        if playing for team value, hit is the way to go...

    21. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Leicesters have the Morgan & Maguire playing together

      This could get messy as there is more speed in a tortoise

        I really wish drug traffickers would leave our beautiful wildlife alone!

      2. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yep. Bottled the Salah captaincy since I half expected Evans to start

    22. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      When’s the deadline?

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    23. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years

      Howdy everyone!
      I'm tipping a big game from Salah and a blankski from Aguero.
      Good luck all!!

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 7 Years

      Apologies for the shortened breakfast club everyone. Tthe online meeting service we use suddenly announced the call was ending in 10 minutes - at 11:25!

      So had to make sure we got everything in before 11:35 cut off.

      Will have a chat with Mark about making sure that doesn't happen again next time.

      1. J0E
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        You still get 20 minutes of us though over gameweek deadline. 🙂

        Aiming for full 30 or so next time.

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Have you thought of starting the show with a different breakfast recipe? You could combine making a fry up with talking about fpl, it would be a unique combination that would attract a different demographic of viewer.

      2. Amsterhammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Marks team looks like it could pay off this week if he kept Aub plus Aguero and Salah.

      3. Fantastisk
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        No worries

        1. J0E

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Very frustrating though as would have liked to have chatted more to Granville about his wildcard and Mark's one.

          But at least we got the key point in - no Walcott! 🙂

    25. OPTA FPL

      If you are playing Liverpool, City etc. and are at home. Surely the best tactic is to leave the grass a little longer than usual and not water the pitch too much.

      1. Fantastisk
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Fergie used to water log the pitch when Arsenal came to town.

    27. Trilogist
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Is Clyne Injured - not even in the squad...if there was ever any doubt about TAA long term. It looks to be gone.

      1. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        He just isn't rated. He was available for sale during the summer. Not a very good player really.

    28. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Thoughts on my transfers (-4):

      Mane -> Hazard
      PVA -> Alonso
      Richarlison -> Neves

      Opinions appreciated.

      1. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Bit hasty getting rid of Mane and PVA

      2. Crystal
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Richarlison Neves looks solid

      3. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Look good to me. Hope Manè stays quiet.

    29. A.T

      I really hope Liverpool score loads today. Mainly because I support them.
