Scoutcast discusses how to learn from FPL mistakes

Join us for the latest episode of the Scoutcast this evening.

As per usual, the show will be running on our YouTube channel from 20:00 GMT until 21:00 GMT.

In episode 307, Joe will be joined by Holly Shand and Lee Bonfield to discuss how to learn from Fantasy Premier League mistakes.

After looking back on Gameweek 11, the three pundits will look to a tricky round of action for Fantasy managers.

Liverpool and Manchester City’s meeting at Anfield on Sunday is likely to temper enthusiasm for the popular premium options – and could increase pressure on our mid-price and budget assets.

With that in mind, our player of choice this week is John Lundstram (£4.8m) who simply won’t stop making FPL history this season.

After that, we’ll update you on the current differential and clean sheet standings.

As Liverpool and Chelsea are also playing in the Champions League, concurrently with the Scoutcast, we shall endeavour to bring you any relevant score or injury updates.

Lessons learned from Gameweek 11

    Never skimp on shoes or mattresses

      I wear them both out in no time at all 😉

      1. Wild Rover

        4 years, 4 months ago

        Don’t run on the bed

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Not good for the knees

  2. OverTinker

    Pulisic starts again. He is nailed from now on I guess

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If anything that makes me confident to play CHO this weekend

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Strange logic as all the other first choice picks are starting

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Batman could well start against his old team tbf. But think the wingers are all good, whereas other positions ain't the same level of competition. See how many minutes pul and wil get tonight

  3. DAZZ

    Salah - Mane - Sterling

    How many of these are you looking to own moving forward, and which ones?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Currently have Mane and Sterling.

      Considering getting rid of Sterling to enable me to get Vardy. Undecided though.

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mane and maybe Salah

    3. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I have Mane and Sterling. Could swap Sterling to Salah after next gw depending how things go

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mane

    5. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Have salah sterling but just think mane looks to get in much better positions than Salah! Struggling to bring myself to remove salah though

    6. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I've got Mane & Sterling, looking to bring in Salah for Sterling for the Brighton game onwards, so still 3 weeks to assess whether Mo is worth the switch.

    What is a mistake in FPL?

    Just because some people get lucky doesn't mean you have made a mistake.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ever starting it

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Haha, this

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

      Trying to predict Pep.

    3. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      no such thing as luck in FPL. Its pure skill

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      There is a difference between bad luck and a mistake though.

      Bad luck is something like Firminio not getting awarded the VAR disallowed goal, or an injury, or a player hitting the post 3 times in a match. A mistake is something like benching Lundstram last week, captaining Wilson a few weeks ago or bringing in someone like Tierney or Bellerin.

    5. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Buying Walcott ever

    6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not getting 11 out maybe.

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

      Quantifying luck 😉

    8. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I moved out Mount for CHO and then next week Pulisic came in and became nailed. Its mistake or what?

    9. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Buying Arsenal defenders.

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

    Hopefully Gomez impresses enough tonight so Lovren doesn’t even see the grass on Sunday.

  6. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What I was really saying before I got articled''', is why the fruit is William not in the captain poll?

    This is abysmal mainstream blancmange jelly fest. And I'm annoyed.!

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      WILLIAN#

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

      because he's only had attacking returns in three GWs this season

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I'm addressing the management, not the burger flippers

        1. OleGGMU
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Considering Cantwell of all players gets a mention in the CAPTAIN poll like omw! so defo agree Willian should be getting a mention, flying under the radar as everyone looks at Mount-Pul-tammy

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers, I'm miffed and I really haven't got anything against burger flippers.

            Apologies.

  7. nibby
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Who to start?
    A) Maupay
    B) Lunds
    Probably be on the safe side and start Lunds i guess.

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

      Lund = NBNC

      1. nibby
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Haha. Well said

      2. Volley127

        NBAC

  8. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I have no money and one free transfer.

    Henderson
    Alexander-Arnold | Digne | Rico
    Sterling | De Bruyne | Martial | Maddison
    Aubameyang | Abraham (C) | Pukki

    Dendoncker | Lundstram | Janmaat | Button

    What do you think my priorities should be?

  9. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    That Chelsea defence is still crap

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    OMG abraham

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      In great scoring form

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        When he sees a net he wants to score

        Doesn't care what end

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pen Chelsea

    Pulisic fouled

  12. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Crazy start.

    Abraham OG now Chelsea pen

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    OMG jorginho

  14. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    1-1 4 minutes in

  15. Slam
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Haller + KDB -> Jimenez + Mané worth a -8?

  16. gonzalocampos
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Assist Pulisic LOL. I am getting him for the Crystal Palace game, he is in sharp shape.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      he's looking better every game. Lampard's comments about wanting his wingers to become goal scorers were very encouraging.

      Regret going with Willian over him now 😆

      1. gonzalocampos
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Pedro and Kante are returning but I dont see not starting your first/second best player at the form that he is in.

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          only competition for his spot is CHO I think.

          But like you say, can't see Pulisic being dropped in his current form

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic is the key to everything Chelsea are doing going forwards

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He’s an awesome player. Really really passes the eye test.

  18. F4L
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Inter with the best strike force in Europe this season?

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

      If Brexit is already excluding Liverpool/City.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        😉

        Best front 2 then, not many seem to play with two out and out strikers anymore.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          One of them is lukaku, who is awful

  19. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Jorginho could be a decent option in FPL if the 5.0 midfielder price-point wasn't one of the most useless in the game.

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

      I had him at the start, thinking VAR would bring loads of pens, but sold him when VAR wasnt overturning anything.

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

        I nearly made that mistake with Milivojevic at the start of the season.

  20. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    So Abraham out for a -12 sounds right?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      ?

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I think it's a joke

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I knew that, just didn’t know why 🙂

      2. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Just a (poor) joke cos he pretty much scored Ajax’s opening goal

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Oh 😆

      Lascelles, Janmaat

  22. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    This kid Haland is absolutely tearing it up this season

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Aye, what is it now 7 in 4 and this match not finished and didn’t start one of the games I think

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Abraham goal disallowed

  24. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Wijnaldum G

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

    Captain next GW:

    A) Pulisic (CPA)
    B) Vardy (ARS)

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

      B, and im a gooner..

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

      Never captain a rotation risk.

  26. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    3. Brosstan

      Sheff Utd better value
