Fantasy Football Scout creator Mark Sutherns makes his video and podcast return to join Joe and David Munday as the Fantasy Premier League 2020/21 game launches.

With the ink barely dry on the player list they sift through the prices, reclassifications and other changes.

There are substantial price hikes for a number of premium midfielders in FPL to consider. But with only £100.0m budget, we can’t have them all.

Mark, Joe and David consider how to carefully manage the challenges such a wealth in midfield brings.

Defence could offer some cheap enablers to help out. They look at the bargains on offer at the back.

Meanwhile, forward line-ups come under consideration. Could a cheap trio up top reap rewards? Or is it still worth spending more in attack?

There looks to be a timing change to FPL Gameweek deadlines for our trio to discuss.

Will this be the year their respective strategies prevail?

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get notified of future live videos. Before the season starts we’ll have plenty of content for you to get started on the new campaign.

In addition, the Scoutcast will return ahead of Gameweek 1. Watch out for that.

In addition, the show is available as a podcast and via our Soundcloud channel.

    Does anybody else feel Mahrez is underpriced?
    Looking at him and KdB as the City double up

      Nope. Not interested. It's Foden who looks underpriced. He's in competition with Mahrez for that starting spot and it looks like he's winning. Picked over Mahrez against Real and watch him get picked again tonight as well.

      With Citeh I see:
      Kun 10.5 x 60%
      Mahrez 8.5 x 75%
      Sterling 11.5 x 85%
      KDB 11.5 x 90%
      Foden 7.5 x 40%
      Jesus 10.5 x 60%

      Then think about points per 90 minutes and you won't be far of making the right choice.

      T's and C's Apply (Smile)

    Come on Memphis.
    Do one for your old club man 😀

    1. Amey

      Also today's starting lineup might give us idea about how Pep see's Foden as an option. If he starts todays game can we think he's definitely in Baldy's first 11 ? Or maybe near that 😀

      Or not worth thinking about it ??

      1. Klaren

        The problem with Foden is that if he plays as RW as he recently has been, then he has too much rotation risk with Mahrez, Torres and Bilva also competing for the same spot.

        If he plays in midfield in Silva position, his attacking output has been limited in the past.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years

          At 6.5 a return every other GW isn't bad tbh. You're right he's pretty much part of the roulette

    No way Joe Bryan costs £5m if he hadn’t scored twice in the playoff final.

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Probably the most attacking defender we have, he’s problem is when he loses the ball he doesn’t track back enough. Made a fair few assists throughout last season

    I was assuming midfield would be the place to be this time, but the prices seem to lean more towards front and back. What do you think is the best VALUE front 3? I've got Martial, Jimenez and Antonio.

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

      Martial Jimenez 4.5
      352 with Soucek as 5th Midfielder rotating with 4th Defender ??

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I'm looking at a 3-4-3 with Soucek and 2 4.5 defenders on the bench, all highly confident in stepping up.

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

          Too much sauce on bench ? 😉

    2. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking of just going with Jimenez and Ings in a 352. Can just leave them and be assured that they'll tick over steadily with points

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

        And can focus on captaining my midfielders

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Martial, Antonio for sure. And then maybe Jimenez or Werner.

    4. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Martial and Jimi defo. I think Werner is the one who could challenge them. A bad season for him would be getting 10-15 goals.

    5. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I dont know, Andy. Forwards are tough this year. I totally agree on Antonio. I liked Martial more as a mid, and he is made of glass as we all know. Jimmy is consistent for sure, but the Midfield is so tasty that I’m really thinking 3-5-2.

      What about Bamford as a “play occasionally” kind of pick?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        If Martial break, you move on to Ings or Vardy, Werner easy.

        Bamford?? I'd want to see solid evidence of him performaing like he's never done in his life first!

    STARTING XI | Ederson, Walker, Garcia, Laporte, Cancelo, Fernandinho (C), Rodrigo, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Sterling, Jesus

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      I don't think Foden is nailed guys...

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

        Define ''nailed'' at Man City.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Would start every game if there was just 1 game a week.

          Sterling and KDB standard.

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

            They won't start against Villa if sandwiched between Liverpool and Chelsea, say. Only Edserson nailed.
