Tips

The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 2

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout Guide to Gameweek 2, don’t forget the new normal deadline of 11:00 BST – half an hour earlier than last season.

Captain set? Transfers made?

Before delving into the nitty-gritty of the best advice for the next round of matches, we received a welcome reminder this week on how to enjoy FPL.

If you find yourself clicking a little too often on transfers page, Community Member and Mindfulness trainer DomWatts23 explained why:

We get a dopamine hit released in our brain every time we look at our team and remember that we might be rewarded in the future for those players doing well this weekend.

– Dom Watts

Which is of course exactly what we want but, realistically, doesn’t always happen.

Dom’s thoughtful article is full of tips that help put FPL in perspective, and could possibly improve your decision-making process. 

And remember, even the best can have a bad Gameweek, as three-time top-200 finisher Lateriser proved with a below-average 43 points. Well, he wouldn’t be called ‘Late Riser’ if he didn’t start slowly. Reflecting on his pre-season decisions, the Pro Pundit considered:

Being stubborn will not make you a good FPL player. You have to respond to what you see on that television screen.

– Lateriser

It’s an exciting Gameweek with both Manchester clubs returning to action following their opening blank, and let’s not forget Aston Villa and Burnley too. Man United-fan Lateriser is sensing an opportunity to give Anthony Martial (£9.0m) the armband.

Although writing in Captain Sensible, Jan Sienkiewicz identified a weakness on Crystal Palace’s right flank that could be exploited by Marcus Rashford (£9.5m).

Encouragingly for Man United backers, the latest clean sheets odds provided by G-Whizz reveal that the Eagles are the team most likely to concede in Gameweek 2.

However, double-points king Jan notes that the safe captain pick is the popular Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£12.0m):

We can trust Aubameyang, who has been in fantastic goalscoring form over recent months and does have the underlying statistics, as well as penalties, to back it up.

– Jan

Arsenal entertain West Ham this weekend and, reflecting on the Hammers’ home defeat to Newcastle, David struck an ominous tone in the Best Captain video:

It’s quite rare to see a team get – I don’t want to say played off the park – but Newcastle were in full control of that game and I can’t remember the last time I really saw Newcastle be in control of a game and be on the front foot.

– David

One person who no doubt enjoyed that win was Neale. This week, our resident Geordie cast his eye over the statistics from Gameweek 1 in his latest Big Numbers offering. Among the many pearls highlighted was the frailty of the newly-promoted defences:

2.83 expected goals conceded (xGC) by West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 1, the worst total in the division. In fact, the three newly promoted clubs had the worst xGC tallies in the first round of 2020/21 matches, with Leeds United (2.76) and Fulham (1.97) not far behind.

– Neale

That could be good news for owners of Everton players, with the Baggies visiting Goodison Park in the early kickoff.

The Toffees topped Pro Pundit Andy’s Gameweek 1 take-aways: underestimated following a series of sub-par performances during Project Restart, Andy noted how the arrival of midfield trio Allan (£5.5m), Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.5m) and James Rodríguez (£7.5m) transformed their attack. 

Calvert-Lewin will get the plaudits for the goal (and what a header it was), but Richarlison (£8.0m) was brilliant. He managed seven shots, with five of them in the box and his non-penalty expected goals (nPxG) was 0.74, not a bad start. He’ll be a hard sell because of the extra £1m he costs over Calvert-Lewin, but he could be a shrewd pick for the next three fixtures.

– Andy on Everton

Although investing heavily in Carlo Ancelotti’s troops might be tricky without a Wildcard, especially with the Manchester clubs back on the menu. Pro Pundit Zophar weighed up the Pros and Cons of making wholesale changes to your squad this early in the season. 

Depending on the make-up of your team, you may want to act fast to take advantage of low-owned players from Manchester City as well capitalising on the appealing fixtures for Everton and Manchester United. Although, typically cautious in nature, Zophar ultimately prefers to wait until he has a little more data to go on and the transfer window is closed.

However, rumour has it that his fellow member of the FPL Wire, BigManBakar, has pushed the button ahead of Gameweek 2. Does this mean he’s sold Salah? His latest Gameweek review suggests he might have:

I would be more tempted to sell Salah however, if I was on a wildcard because that would have meant that I could have upgraded elsewhere easily. And I think that might be a smart strategy, because this is where the concept of VORP (value over replacement player) comes into play and if you are unlikely to captain Salah in the next four (che ARS avl eve) that ploy might be fruitful.

– BigManBakar

If you are looking for further encouragement to play the early Wildcard, Pro Pundit Tom Freeman was on hand with a selection of enticing differentials. Raheem Sterling led the way with nine goals during Project Restart:

Five of his nine double-digit hauls arrived following the resumption, which ensured he outscored teammate Kevin De Bruyne (£11.5m) by 86 FPL points to 73.

– Tom on Raheem Sterling

And a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers is not necessarily such a bad fixture for the Englishman, argues Tom:

Sterling also thrived on his travels – 70% of his league goals arrived during away games, while his 26 big chances in such matches was comfortably more than any other player.

– Tom on Raheem Sterling

The Aston Villa fan also ran the rule over the Villans’ new striker Ollie Watkins (£6.0m):

Amazingly, every single one of [his] 26 goals came from open play and, when you exclude penalties, Watkins scored more league goals than any other player in English football last season.

– Tom on Ollie Watkins

A partnership with Jack Grealish could bear fruit, and Tom suggests the time to invest might be Gameweek 6 when the fixture ticker turns blue for Dean Smith’s men.

This week’s Scoutcast featured former FPL winner and Pro Pundit Simon March. Despite concerns about their defence, one player who caught the eye of the Chelsea fan was Reece James (£5.0):

We saw the goal last night, I watched that back without the crowd noise and just the sound it makes when it leaves his boot – it was like a sonic boom! Just an absolute pile driver of a shot.

– Simon on Reece James

With new signings like Timo Werner (£9.5m) and Kai Havertz (£8.5m) to get on the end of his deliveries, Simon feels that £5.0m could be a steal. And, excluding his goal, Neale pointed out that the 20-year-old could benefit from the bonus points system:

20 baseline bonus points (BBPS) registered by Reece James on Monday night, the joint-highest total in Gameweek 1. Baseline BPS is simply a player’s BPS score with all the appearances, goals, assists and clean sheets stripped away.

– Neale on Reece James

Another defender who posed a goal-threat on the opening weekend was Matt Doherty (£6.0m). Spurs were rightly criticised for their defeat to Everton but the former Wolves player made a couple of encouraging “underlapping” runs into the box: the best resulting in a glorious chance from six yards out that Jordan Pickford (£5.0m) blocked with his legs.

Final Checks

Before making any final decisions ahead of Gameweek 2 be sure to check up on the latest team news and the predicted line-ups.

Pep Guardiola has revealed that Sergio Aguero and Aymeric Laporte will miss out this weekend:

Meanwhile Frank Lampard has confirmed that Timo Werner is fit to face the reigning Champions.

      Kane Sou out
      Willian and Wilson

    3. Villan

      Kane to Martial, Sou to JRod?

    4. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Don't much care for Kane. Would rather have Tony M

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yea I have no idea why I went for Kane! I think I was swayed by the scout choice last week

    5. kevchenko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing this week, use the £1.5m next week, with 2 FT after assessing Utd/City/Wolves/Everton etc this week.

  2. Scout
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Justin shaw saiss
    Auba Sterling salah Bruno bissouma
    DCL Wilson

    1) Bruno DCL and shaw out for rashford lacazette and c Taylor
    2) Bruno and DCL our for martial and Willian
    3) Bruno DCL and Wilson our for martial Werner and Podence
    4) Bruno, shaw, DCL out for rashford, c.taylor and jimi

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      why do you want to get rid of Bruno?

      1. Scout
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I want Bruno but getting rid of him seems to upgrade elsewhere. What are your thoughts?

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      5) Save the transfer, then downgrade Auba and upgrade Bissouma next week. Selling any of Burno/DCL/Shaw/Wilson is crazy.

      1. Scout
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I’m on a wc

      2. Scout
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You rate DCL and Wilson?

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, whether the WC is activated or not. They're not brilliant options but they fund your 4 big midfielders who are all great.

          1. Scout
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah that’s true but getting rid of Bruno could also fund me better strikers?

            Just whether Bruno is worth sacrificing two strikers

  3. COLLIN QUANER
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Might make a last minute transfer. Hmm.

    It would be Havertz to either Rashford or Hamez but can't decide. What do you think?

    1. Scout
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Rashford in

    2. kevchenko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Rashford.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Grealish as he is on pens too i believe

  4. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    WTH?!?!?! Antonio drop in price after one gameweek?!?!?!?!

    1. SB007
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      After restart did nothing last week and Arse this week.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        West Ham's defence is horrible, but their attack remains a threat. They had more crosses than anyone last week, and Antonio had 4 shots. There is promise there.

        Arsenal defence wasn't tested last week against Fulham.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, I won't be starting with anyone that has a GW2 game against the top 6 anymore.

      It means he has to return in GW1 for people to keep. I think Arsenal is a decent game for him, but obviously others don't see it that way.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        top 8*

        Forgot Arsenal were so bad.

  5. Villan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    WC team

    Ryan//McCarthy
    TAA//Saiss//Justin//Ayling//Mitchell
    Auba//Salah//Hamez//Greenwood//Foden
    Jimenez//DCL//Brewster

    Thoughts?

    1. SB007
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Willian ?

    2. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If on wc i would want at least one of Sterling/KDB/Bruno, at the very least.

      1. Villan
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Plan to switch Auba to them KDB or Sterling next week

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That’s last weeks wc

    4. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not bad at all. Foden feels like a bit of a gamble but I guess any mid in Peps team would feel that way. I wouldve liked an Everton defender. You could squeeze him in when to transfer Auba out maybe. Honestly that's a good team

      1. Villan
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I could do -

        Martinez & Steer
        Ayling to Column?

        Damn Auba having too good a fixture

        1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Column?

  6. timawflowers

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Safe to take out Salah this week, will mean it gives me willian and vardy rather than salah and bamford?

    1. Scout
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Always risky taking salah our but vardy has a good fixture

  7. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    G2G?

    McCarthy
    VVD, Justin, Taylor
    Auba, Salah, Son, JWP
    C.Adams, Werner, C.Wilson

    Steer, Soucek, BDavies, Mitchell

    1.0itb, 1Ft

    Anything i need to do as my plans of doing Auba & Son > KDB & Bruno went out the door with Son dropping .1 earlier.

    any advise will be great thanks.

    2. Stormbringer22

      I have decided I am going with Sterling over KDB. Have Bruno as well

    3. kennethrhcp

      If you go a do you plan on getting 1 of b or c soon?

    4. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years

      B with Martial maybe?

    5. screamer73

        Arsenal won't have an Andy Carroll to help them at the back for set pieces so Soucek may do well.

    1. Stormbringer22

    Thanks to the Laporte injury, I have double Saints def. Is it worth a hit to fix that?

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I personally wouldn't do it for a hit

        You are probably right. Thanks

      I wouldn't worry too much about it. You are not going to take a hit for a GK and KWP may get an assist.

      Davies as I think both Spurs and Sou will score points.

  27. aborg

    I think Crystal Palace will hold up Man Utd and will be a low score line. I don’t think it is worth for me to take a -4 to remove Ings for Martial. If Ings scores a goal I’d have taken a hit uselessly and Man Utd have better fixtures anyway from next week.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends if you have a FT planned for next week. Many have Auba to KDB/Sterling planned so taking a hit this week instead of next.

  28. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anybody else feel like if you have all 3 of Salah/Auba, Bruno and KdB the rest of the squad doesn’t feel right or balanced?

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, ive tried multiple times to fit them all in and the team around it just doesnt look great.

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I have Salah and Auba but both are going after this week. Rolling FT to take a hit next week with 3 moves.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Great idea that, amazing what you can do with 3 moves and only a 4 point hit

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

      Yep. Needs a playing Brewster to get a better 2nd striker or 4th mid.

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm reasonably happy with my team that's started with Auba, Mane and Salah in a 442.

      Currently have a frontline of Martial, Wilson, (Davis) and my concern is that I'll probably want at least one of Werner or Jimi as well as Martial.

    5. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah. Been tinkering with a potential WC and it's difficult. Removing TAA helps a lot however he's a season keeper for me

    6. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I don't seem to have a bad squad with all 3.

      McCarthy
      TAA, Justin, Mitchell
      Auba, Salah, Bruno, ASM
      Jimenez,DCL, Adams

      Steer, Reed, Vinagre, Ferguson

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It’s ok, just feel like you’ll want a premium striker like Martial and above

  29. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years

    Auba or Bruno (c)?
