New start time for Scoutcast in 2019/20

The Scoutcast is back for Gameweek 2 and will broadcast today at a new earlier time.

For the rest of the 2019/20 season, the show will run from 20:00 to 21:00 UK time on Tuesday evenings (where possible) on our official YouTube channel.

This is to ensure fewer late nights both for our Scoutcasters and our viewers too!

The Scoutcast made history ahead of Gameweek 1 as we overtook Last of the Summer Wine for total episodes.

The famous sitcom ran for a total of 295 episodes between 1973 and 2010.

Last week, we the Scoutcast’s episode count went to 296 and we were joined by one of the show’s long-time guest Granville.

After such a momentous episode, we felt like making history for a second week running.

Ahead of Gameweek 2, we are joined by founder of Fantasy Football Community Holly Shand, who will be the first female guest on the Scoutcast.

The maths teacher and mother of one has only been playing Fantasy Premier League a short time but already has an impressive record.

In five seasons playing the game, she has two top 10,000 finishes and has already started the 2019/20 with 94 points scored in Gameweek 1.

Holly will join regulars Joe, Luke and Az to discuss all the key talking points ahead of Gameweek 2.

That includes what to do with potential Harry Kane and Anthony Martial bandwagons as well as how to handle our transfers in the coming days.

As ever, you can watch live on our YouTube channel but after the broadcast is over, the Scoutcast will be available on the usual platforms.

    Thinking of wildcarding this week? Feel like it’s a proper mess, thoughts?

    3. Eytexi

      Trossard is the only potential issue: easily sorted with 1FT. Everyone else is fine.

      1. Planet Head
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Decent subs though. Save FT imo

    4. The Man Pastore

      Your team looks fine and can do very well this week , just save FT

    5. Squib
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely don't

    6. conorbon
      • 10 Years

      You have the big three, looks good to me!

    7. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You have Salah, Sterling and Kane, Robertson, VVD, Digne.. How is your team a mess?

      What transfers would you make?

    8. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Go for it. Your team is shite.

      1. conorbon
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You are funny, let’s see your team.

    9. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Be patient, half of that team already delivered you fantasy points in GW1. I would hold onto most of that team for 3 or 4 weeks and they you can transfer out anyone in poor form.

    10. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      thats knee jerking ! nothing your transfers wont sort out

    11. Lacabacca
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like a team one would have after a wildcard.

    Looking forward to the Scoutcast. Holly was fantastic on breakfast club.

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

      Agreed. A female guest has been a long time coming. 296 episodes and a complete absence of diversity belongs in the Victorian era.

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

        Not really. Couldn't care less what gender someone is so long as they know what they are talking about.

        1. conorbon
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Exactly!

        2. Four Hit Wonder
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Meritocracy is the real equality.

          1. LosBlancos
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Agree, fplvirgin's statement is actually sexist

            1. Planet Head
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Sexist yes but also representative of the majority it's sad to say. Glad to see most people in this thread have their heads screwed on though. Meritocracy and competence all the way!

        3. hoganzo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Genuinely good to see you're not narrow-minded, but don't you think it's odd that in 296 episodes, only men have "known what they are talking about"? Come on, mate.

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

            It's their pod they can do what they want with it. Like I said I couldn't care less who's on it. If you think there is some sort of agenda there why pay a membership fee to them?

            1. hoganzo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I don't think there's an "agenda". I reckon they just never bothered before. I think it's nice that fantasy football is open to everyone and a bit more female representation on one of the most successful sites can only help raise the profile and stop it from being considered "lads-only".

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Who the hell is holly ?

  3. cigan
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Play:

    A) Adams (LIV)
    B) Dendoncker (MUN)
    C) Cathcart (eve)
    D) do a transfer: Catchcart --> Montoya (or another 4.5/4.0 def maybe?) to play him this round, otherwise mostly for bench

    I'm currently on Adams but waiting to see more of Liv defence tomorrow. They looked shaky in GW1 but will be considering C or D if they improve

    1. conorbon
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A and you have 2 FT for gamesweek 3

  4. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I'll start watching the scoutcasts again if Mark ever returns. Not the same without him.

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You are obsessed. Just ask him out pal

  5. conorbon
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I’m begrudgingly holding doing any transfers this week, if it all goes to pot plan to do the below for gamesweek 3.
    Zouma, Pulisic, B Silva to Maguire, McGinn and Son.

  6. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    You're going to miss a lot of Champion's League games recording the scoutcast then!

  7. mcgrejam
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Martial or Rashford?

    1. conorbon
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Martial

    2. mattyb09
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rash

    3. Aubaaaaa
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rash

    4. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Martial

    5. Littlest Hobo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Both.. but worth losing TAA to get them...?

  8. mattyb09
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Hearing/reading conflicting reports on Ross Barkley's performance on Sunday...

    Can someone tell me how he looked for the 57 minutes he was on the pitch?
    1 chance created 2 shots 1 SOG.

    1. conorbon
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Didn’t really do much, wouldn’t go near any of our kids for a week or 2, need to see how they respond.

      1. mattyb09
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. I have him in my 11 right now, deciding whether to give him another week or not.

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          defo stick this week

    2. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I was surprised he was subbed thought he looked pretty good

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Confirmed my suspicion that Lampard has a crush on Mount. Barkley will be history when CHO and RLC are fit.

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      he was good, had 2 good shots and pressed probably more than anyone so made sense to take him off

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        did it?!

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't suprise me if he was dropped for Pulisic tbh mount was their best player

      1. RichardNixon
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        strongly diagree. Emerson was our best player by some margin. Mount worked his socks off but was largely ineffective. I think the reason Lampard likes him so much is due to his relentless work ethic and pressing, along with Pedro. Both these guys didn't stop running at the defenders and goal keeper when Utd had the ball. So perhaps for that reason he started with Mount instead of Barkley in the middle but imo he should have taken Mount off and switched Barkley into the middle. Let's see what happens in the Euro Supercup but im staying clear of Chelsea players for now...... regrettably as there is good value these somewhere

    6. RichardNixon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lampard's first screw up as manager was playing Barkley out wide so that he could play both him and Mount together. Barkley was Chelsea's most impressive player by some distance in pre-season in the middle........ ie the same position that Mount played vs Man Utd. And then to put salt onto the wounds, it was Barkley that got dragged instead of the ineffective Mount.

      So nothing is clear in the Chelsea team. Willian is about to come back from injury as well to make things even more complicated.

    7. child of God
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What game were people watching to say that mount brought more to the game than barkley ?

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No idea. Mount was poor.

      2. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        this. Barkley was no better or worse. I thought he looked more involved early on

      3. RichardNixon
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        There seems to be a universal hatred of Barkley for some reason, including by Chelsea fans. And there also seems to be some sort of bromance going on with Mount. It's mind boggling really

  9. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If you've got Martial and Greenwood, do you prioritise AWB or Rash?

    1. conorbon
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      AWB

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      One playing Man U is enough . Hugely flattered by the horrific Chelsea defending and but for the woodwork would have conceded 2 or 3.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        shots have to be on target in order to go in

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          this is a dumb reply (to his point that united conceded good chances)

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            are they good chances when they are off target?

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Of course they are.

            2. Coolbean
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Ignorance is bliss. You do you mate 😉

              1. Currybean
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Why

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        4-0 might have been flattering but United will score far more goals than other teams in the same price range (EVE, LEI, WOL, BOU).

        And the back 4 played their first game together so you'd assume they'll only get better.

  10. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Trying to quantify how many points is a wildcard worth.

    For how many points would you agree to use a wildcard?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      what

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        E.g. if you would get 25 points more than if you didn't use the wc, would you use it?

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          It’s not really a 1 week thing though

        2. Feanor
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          20-25 would be decent. We've all had wildcards go negative at some point.

        3. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          thats not how it works, it affects every future gw. this applies more to fh

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      16

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Your 1st wildcard can define your season.

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      About 16 points

    5. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      To be fair, I'd rather start a new account at 25 points at GW1. Also, points are kind of vague. Depends on how your team looks. If you're missing 2 out either Kane/Sterling/Salah and Allison without a decent second option than perhaps yes. Either way, good luck man! I'm sure it'll work out.

  11. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I mean extra points, compared to not using the wc.

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You’d need to be making at least 5 or 6 changes

  12. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think Kane will go up in price between now and the deadline? I’ve made my mind up that I’m doing Wilson and Moura to Kane and Dendonker with my 2 FT’s in time for GW3 but I have the exact money.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      no chance

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        or should I say, pretty unlikely

        1. HollywoodXI
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          That’s what I thought. I’ve checked the usual sites and transfers in for him are moving slowly.

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

  13. Feanor
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pardon my ignorance as an American resident, but does Mark still put out FPL content somewhere? It was great to hear Granville last time, but I would quite like to hear Mark's thoughts to start this new season.

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I loved how Mark always went against the template and still made it work. I think we all miss his insight on the scoutcast

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He's in your basement isn't he. I can tell

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          An ability to recognise like minded folk ?

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            That's it . I'm inside his mind

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      You are obsessed. Just ask him out pal

        It's a mystery, he just seems to have vanished.

    3. MTPockets
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Does he still write the scout articles?

      1 minute ^^

    5. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Scoutcast should have had a Scoutcast Team. One without Salah or Sterling to make it interesting. Each week, the community votes on a transfer after being given 2 or 3 options by the scoutcast panel.

      If you need more of these visionary ideas, just email me.

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I really like the scout cast but this year everyone has the same team and its just so boring. Hoping as the weeks go on, teams get more interesting

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          The scout cast isn't boring, but the teams are.

        2. Bruce Lee
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          if you look at the leagues like elite64 they've all gone template pretty much... zzzzz

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

        Can picture the sweat pouring off Jonty and Munday when they are forced to not take a template big hitter.

      3. Greasy Grealish Gang
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Where can I see their teams? New here.

      4. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This was tried a several seasons ago and it was a rubbish feature, and so was axed. One of these things that sounds good in theory, but is actually tedious in practice.

    6. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm aware you can't see other people's transfer history... but can you even see your own?

      I can't seem to find it

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        "View gameweek history"

        You can't see it until you've made transfers. You can't see others yet because they didn't make any transfers for GW1.

        1. Bruce Lee
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          So you can see other people's transfers if they have made them?

          1. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            You can see their GW2 transfer history when GW2 deadline has passed.

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

      Who to start GW2?

      A. Trossard
      B. Perez

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Both

        1. bruuuno
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Then I need to bench one of VVD, Robertson, Digne, Montoya, Barkley, KdB, Salah, Kane or King... Still both?

          1. Regin
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Bench trossard. Probably he'll come off the bench.

          2. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Bench Montoya

      Will Leicester have any joy against this chelski defence at the weekend?

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        most likely

      2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I reckon.

      3. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hopefully.

      4. Greasy Grealish Gang

        They're about to get banged!

      Is owning both Rashford and Martial too much?

      1. Regin
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not really. After wolves away, they have good fixtures.

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes . Too many compromises elsewhere to accommodate both.

        1. Regin
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Really? They cost Salah +3.5

        2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          This.

    10. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A. Mane, rash, 4.5 Hayden (have salah)

      B. Siggy, martial, Wilson

      B more balanced, a more explosive? Worth keeping Wilson?

    11. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If I had to chose 1 of zinchenko or AWB/ Maguire, who?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'd go Maguire.

      2. acidicleo

        Awb

    12. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Captained Trent instead of Sterling in the opening week. Think I'll go for it again to make up for the lost points. Foolproof logic there.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        And if that fails, TC Trent GW3

            I'm bound to make a profit at some point within 38 GWs, and at that point I'll count my gold and play it safe till the finishing line...

        Hey buddy hope you are ok.
        You are always different. Team link?

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          It's linked. I see

        2. Emiliano Sala
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          What are you going to do with barkley? I own him too

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Hey matey. I'm pretty happy with him. He performed well, and I think we'll see a fair amount of rotation in top teams anyway, so he's not a proven waster yet. I'll give him time. Not worth a transfer until it's obvious at this stage, and it's mainly Rashford I wish I'd kept in my team, rather than a midfielder. Hope all well with you too

      3. TLF

    13. Poppa Klopp
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Would like some advice please;

      I’m thinking of doing Robbo and Pérez for Zinchenko and Martial for a -4 if Martial is going to go up in value before the next FT comes in

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I wouldn't do it, but I'm a FPL conservative.

        1. Poppa Klopp
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Why not though? It’s seems smart move

          1. sirmorbach
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I think it's too soon. What if Martial does f-- all from now on? What if Pérez starts scoring?

            Robbo is Robbo. He will perform.

            Only one GW. I wouldn't take a hit unless I HAD to.

            But that's me.

          2. fantasyfog

        Both are good options for the weekend, sit tight!

        1. Poppa Klopp
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He’s 70% of the way there, I hope not

        The most positive thing I can say about this idea is: it’s terrible

    14. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Plenty wanting to jump ship and get United attackers this gw.

      I have a feeling that it might be prudent to wait 1 more gw before getting any to see who emerges as the go to man.

      Many getting Martial in for the likes of Fraser/Moura but my gut says it's gonna be Rashford from United this season.

      Too early to make choices imo. Thoughts?

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        price rises will be the issue. If Martial looks like he is gonna rise. I would priced our of Moura to Martial

      2. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Please don't get Martial everyone. You don't have him because you went boring and went Fraser/Lucas

        Sincerely, Martial owner 🙂

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years

          What if my plan was always Fraser to Martial in GW3, am I allowed to then?

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years

      4. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Anthony Martial last gw + last 2 seasons in pl

        - 3275 mins = (approximately 36 matches) -
        20 goals 10 assists So Martial was involved in 30 goals in last 36 matches for united

        He is fpl gold when he's a starter which he is this season and for 7.5 a great option..

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          This. a man utd No. 9 at 7.5 is pretty unheard of

                  Just being a pedant mate, he played at 9 plenty yeah but the shirt number belonged to Lukaku.

                  1. EMBOLOFAN
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

              haha might have been. But was always the Lukaku risk etc

              1. EMBOLOFAN
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                yeah course

      5. MTPockets
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Bernardo and Pep's comments are vexing me so might switch to Martial. Otherwise agree on waiting

        • EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          your “gut” isnt real

        • George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Chelsea defence was abysmal. I'm not at all convinced yet that even one Utd mid or forward is necessary.

        • Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Moura for me was a 1 week punt - I was then going to jump on a good alternative, I believe martial can do well based on greater playing time and the counter attacking play Utd showcased. He didn't pass the eye test but that is often the case yet he still grabs a goal. It was a toss up between him and Fraser tbh. Pulisic I didn't get to see. Another option was plausibly McGinn. I'm a Utd fan so I made the Martial move.

          Fraser I'd keep if I ha him - great option.

          Martial is nowhere near a price increase

        • SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Martial had a better PPM than Rashford last season and if you multiply his last two seasons by 2 he's basically an elite option for 7.5; also if feels like there are more forward options at that price or less, but cheaper mids than Martial are few and far between; Fraser, Zaha, Willian? maybe Buendia/Iwobi/Mount? only injury risk is the problem

        • RichardNixon
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Despite the score, I thought Utd were bang average against Chelsea for the first 65 minutes. On paper they are also bang average bar a couple of players. The press loves to build them up especially on Sky but watch them sharpen their knives once things turn sour. Chelsea were tactically naive and capitulated chasing the game, a games that they probably deserved to be a goal or two up before Man Utd put them away. If Chelsea scored early, as they easily could have, Utd wouldn't have been able to sit back and counter. Anyhow, I don't buy into the Utd hype and I'm having a punt on Wolves this weekend. Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd are all average football sides these days.
