The best set piece takers and targets for FPL Gameweek 5 – Part 1

It's tricky...I'd say yes just because Silva will make it up long term by playing more games.

Not for a hit if you ask me

B, but I hope you have Mane as well

C

C definitely, Alonso best of premium defenders, Salah best of all players generally, and Pereyra negates DSilva higher ceiling by secured starts

Cheers all.

looks like B initially, but it's C on closer inspection

Bilva a rotation risk and Fraser could be injured. Other than that, g2g.

Past his bedtime.

I really like David Silva but has to be A. The 4.5 won't get any points.

same dilemma, agree it has to be A though

not as a one off transfer no.

maybe if part of a WC and that extra million gets you someone else you particularly want

Yeah... wtf is this quiz thing???

This is awful!

Worst I've ever seen

This is bloody shocking..

haha I'm only about 25 mins in and it's been more engaging than usual so far

Painful - gone downhill so quickly...

Absolute rubbish. Losing all credibility.
And not even entertaining ... 1st time in 2 years I've switched off

This quiz is ridiculous...what is going on?

Kudos to them for trying to freshen things up. I laughed. Nothing wrong with light hearted banter amongst the very serious business that is FPL.

😆 That quiz feature. Sorry lads, back to the drawing board.

If you’ll have 2FT next week then sure, if not, go b

B for sure, as long as you can get through this gameweek. Mitro might even nick one against City, you never know

Me too

Munday needs to go

Who’s mark?

let her go mate, you're only making it worse

1. depends on whether you have hazard. inclined to say Rich either way though
2. Walcott
3. keep Salah

Pedro
Monitor the injuries to Fraser and Walcott
No

features supposedly chosen by us ....

I do like Lukaku, but my thinking is if you've got an 11 million player, you need to be captaining him a bit more than 1 in 4 games.

Personally I think you could get rid of one of those options - doesn't even have to be Lukaku - and give the rest a leg up.

I do quite like your team in general though. Not overly keen on the Hazard/Pedro double up perhaps.

I think kaku is a great option at the moment and I put together a similar hypothetical wildcard team with the same forwards as that team. The thing that holds me back from having two premium forwards is that forwards don't generally score as many points as high scoring midfielders. Also there are loads of budget/mid priced forwards that look good this season, and when I do the maths I struggle to believe having Kaku and aguero is better than one of them and Arnie/zaha/deeney/etc with Salah in midfield or Silva in your case (who I happen to own). Tossing the arm band around is risky but I'm sure you have a strategy for that.

Basically I think there's enough cheap options in midfield and up front that I don't think there's a need for so many 10m+ players. I think that bench could be better as well. I could be wrong of course.

It's seriously going to lose viewers. Way down the pecking order now of pods

Mark is the Scoutcast

Who’s mark??

Sorry he’s the one who is struggling this year and pulled his wildcard out....

I haven't watched it in a while now. It's a steaming pile of shite.

The quiz must be an hour long next week

Mark has been told to curtail his FFS stuff to concentrate on FPL Show commitments obviously. It is definitely worse off for his absence. They are lost without him.

Hopefully.

It would still be fine with Jonty, Az, Andy and Granville.

🙁

scoutcast only discussion

I personally wouldn't go without the boy Salah but that's your call. Pretty much like it otherwise. Feel there could maybe be better options out there than Tarkowski but it's not biggy.

Would recommend getting Mark in somewhere

Wolves next 6 fixtures amazing and you have none of their defence or GK. Brighton have Spurs and City in next 3 so don't understand the Ryan love.

He's 13m

I think he is, but other options can score more over the short term.

For example, Hazard might get 3 or 4 over the next two, Salah may do too

Worst Scoutcast ever produced.

More like a pathetic gameshow.

Pretty sure there’s more information for the hard core FPL manager in the daily star than the scout cast but at least 14 year old child may like the Scoutcast.

After all the feedback on the recent hot topic I’m baffled by how atrocious that Scoutcast was. As a person David seems a stand up guy, and I don’t care about his poor rank, but his ideas and way of interacting have ruined the Scoutcast for me. Or at least the majority of the changes seem to have stemmed from his involvement wether that may be the case or not.

Smacks to me as a way of 'experts' being able to moan that they deserved to beat the lucky casuals if their superior decisions had worked out.

Half the point of WC is to catch players you want before they rise. You've missed 0.4 since end of last GW I think

Also keeping Peltier on WC??? Hamer is not first choice so you'll be likely playing Hennessey every week. 2 from McCarthy/Patricio/Fab/Foster is best GK combo imo

Stick
