How to handle FPL bandwagons in early Gameweeks

The latest episode of the Scoutcast is about to start on our YouTube channel.

You can watch the show from 8pm to 9pm BST.

This week, Joe is joined by Az and David to discuss the key Fantasy Premier League talking points ahead of Gameweek 3.

The next round of action is an important one for Fantasy managers as many will be wielding their two free transfers.

Already bandwagons have begun to form, so our Scoutcasters will be discussing how best to approach these.

Naturally, Teemu Pukki (£6.7m) is a prime example after he scored a hat-trick in Gameweek 2.

However, we will also be examining Liverpool assets after a lacklustre start to the season at both ends of the pitch.

      good question - i just moved Mili to Lanzini and now looking whether to move Perez too
      depends if you're doing it purely to avoid price drop or because you don't think he will score well over coming weeks?

        Just think the whole Leicester attack system is all wrong. Maddison and Perez on the wing, you hey didn’t do much better, Tielemans on the middle only knows shot and didn’t give Vardy much support. I think they need start one of Barnes and Albrighton to get more space on the wing. So Perez could be the one to sacrifice.

      Perez has had two tough games, will have two easier games coming up. I'd hold and review for two weeks.

      If you had to trade I would choose The Great Lanzini of the three

      Great Question- totally unknown answer but...

      A) lanzini has good fixtures but players for a bad team
      B) mount great schedule and talent but his forwards are bad
      C) Trossard good player but it’s Brighton, anything can happen
      D) Ceballos good player with awesome forwards but plays for a clown tinkering coach
      E) cantwell plays behind the Pukkimonster but it’s bandwagon thinking, maybe
      F) Leicester Barnes - he thrived in the role that Perez can’t handle- Leicester coach must recall how they used to score goals
      G) hold Perez for Southampton- he has to produce or he gets benched

        Solid WC team. Looking at fixture ticker, you need a Man City defender and possibly a Chelsea or West Ham defender. I'd go Zinchenko and Christensen.

            I have Kane and it's mainly around flexibility to be honest. If you don't have a premium striker it's hard to bring one in without having to dismantle your team. Kane has a pretty good run to Christmas.

        Maybe. I wanted Pukki and Cantwell before the season started but figured I would let Norwich settle in, I think the Liverpool opener put me off.

        I don't particularly like Martial as a player, but he looks incredible value now he has number 9 nailed, Man U defence looks much improved and i fear a complete lack of united players will hurt my rank every week.

        Then again, Jota, Perez and King could come through for me.
