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

    4.5m striker has 7 CL goals in 250 minutes. CL fantasy tower had a proper mare there

    1. Fred54

      Its just Mark with a beret.

    Agh Pulisic why do you make yourself such an interesting option...

    Martial makes way more sense, but damn he's good and making me second guess.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Why is Martial better?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He's more logical. He's nailed on, better short term fixtures. OoP. Very unlikely to be involved internationally.

        It makes more sense to go him honestly.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Also, martial is trash

          What makes also sense is getting a player who has scored four times in last two games.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            He's a fairly significant rotation risk though and then he has a ton of travel with the US and comes back to City away. It's honestly not ideal.

            Past points are not necessarily indicative of future ones.

    Salah is starting to remind me of Morata, always throwing his arms in the air in frustration when he doesn’t get the ball despite doing nothing when he does

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Calling someone Morata is the most insulting thing ever.

      Reported.

    I brought in Tomori last night for a hit 😀

      A game of thrones walk of shame is required here.

    1FT... keep Wilson for 2 more or no? I would probably get Deulofeu/Ings as that gives me budget to do Martial to Mane.

    I could get Jimenez but that would mean I'd have to take out KdB / Sterling to get Salah / Mane in rather than Martial.

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

    Salah has been watching too much Pepe!

  7. Riders of Yohan

    2FT 0.3ITB

    Pope
    Ota, TAA, Lund, Tomori
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount
    Vardy, Abraham

    Button. Cantwell, Greenwood, Kelly

    A) salah to Mané?

    B) best Otamendi replacement

    C) salah, Otamendi, Greenwood -> Maddison, Robertson, Jiminez (-4)

    With C would probably go sterling to Mané next week

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B -> Chilwell

      1. Riders of Yohan

        How about c?

      Quite funny that some people actually believe hes on the level right below the likes of Allison. Hes among the worst nr 1 goalies in the league.

    2. el polako

      Karma for insulting Sarri and embaressing his club.

    27: CLOSE! Nearly another own-goal from Abraham - he is deadly inside his own box.

    LOL

    OMG Ziyeeeeeeech

    Time to go, Frank!

  13. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    Chelsk are defensively sewage.

  14. jtreble

    Bye, bye Alonso.

  15. Alan The Llama
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    That's a quality goal

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

      Nah, D + GK errors.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Yeah it should never go in.

      2. Alan The Llama
        • 14 Years

        I meant quality as in how it went in off his face

        1. jtreble
          • 7 Years

          Ah, sarcasm. Well done mate. 🙂

    Any love for Son now he has no ban. He's been ticking along nicely of late

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Somehow I cant bring myself to own Spurs and United assets at the moment.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I'm still tempted - big differential in my mini leagues and higher ceiling than mads/Martial (in theory)

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

    Salah xG sky high tonight.

  18. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Ziyech is top class player. It's so hard to believe big/rich clubs weren't fighting for him this summer.

  19. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Chelsea defence is shocking. Can’t see Tomori ever delivering a cleanie

  20. Rainer

    1. Rainer

      Set pieces becoming an issue for Liverpool.

      Worried non Otamendi owner this GW!

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Why worried?

        Otamendi can't do any damage from the bench.

    2. Nomar

    Klopp loves to smile when the opponent scores.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      He is like Bingo from Banana Splits. His teeth dictate

      I think he is a bit of full of himself and smile is really sarcastic

    Pool cleanies like hens teeth

      VVD missing Joel

  24. Wild Rover

    White men cant jump

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Never seen Daniel James dive?

      1. FOO FIGHTER

        😀

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

      They jump for the liberals

  25. micsway

    Liverpool apparently have not kept a clean sheet in their last 8 games ...

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

      Heard that too, a lot of us are doubling up on Liv defence as well, definitely a risk.

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Apparently? Non owner alert

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Lol, dont us owners know it, imagine how bad of a pick TAA and Robbo would have been without the attacking returns

    3. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      That’s why l kept Kun next GW

      1. micsway
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Que Jesus

  26. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Guess this is why most go TAA and chepies for the rest. Cleanies no show.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      *cheapies*

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

    No Pool cleansheet ... again 🙁 Robbo TAA plan remains?

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No way I am doubling up on that defence. Cleanies are none existent, so you're justifying Robbo & TAA with the 'they're basically just wingers' argument. Both currently averaging 1 return in 3, not bad but hardly prolific, plenty of cheaper options with a similar or higher PPG in both defence and midfield. One of them is enough.

  28. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Lee passing on Vardy seems like a really big mistake.

    You have to pick differentials but you can't ignore essentials. There are some players that are clearly great value this season. Vardy and KdB are big examples.

    Vardy is playing for a Leicester team that is performing like a top 4 team. I thought about skipping out on him too, but it's madness. He even has great fixtures going for him. You can punt on things in midfield. The likes of Maddison, Pulisic, Martial, Tielemans can all be changed up, but there are some spine players like Abraham, KdB, Mane and Vardy this season that you should not ignore.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Who the fook is Lee?

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

      Who?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Bruce, Sammy or Tammy

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

      What is this, the live scoutcast?

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Give him some leeway...

      ... I know 😉 I'm here all week.

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

      Mark has wildcarded last week and not got any Leicester and He is a brilliant player.

      Yes, Vardy is a great pick but he isn’t ‘essential’

    6. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not everyone can fit Vardy in, I have Abraham, Jimenez and Auba (great fixtures coming up and captain now). I would get him in but I don't want to replace any of those above.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I think you're making a mistake. I'd lose Auba for Vardy.

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I did a similar move last season when Auba wasn't considered as 'value' then Auba scored 4 goals in 50 minutes, in games I had planned on captaining him for. Been scarred ever since. I'm keeping him, and just need to hope the Vardy party ends early, hehe.

    7. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The guy who literally just claimed Pepe was a good differential for him because "when he scored a penalty I gained 40-50k places"?What a joke the scoutcast has become. No one even called him out on it either, should have been ripped apart.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I had Pepe too but based it on his statistically good performances against Pool and Tot that he'd kick on and get good. He didn't.

  29. DGW Sane TC Fail....

    Nobody standing out for Chelsea

    1. TheDragon

      CHO essential?

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Their defence is a shambles

      Need to get Kante on to protect them

  30. Varcity

    So does Son get his -3 points back now ? (. And his potential bonus points !!)

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      Nope

    2. Sid1891

      Doubt it

    3. Epic Fail

    4. Rainer

      You have to appeal them, to have a chance.

        He did - it just got overturned
