Scout Network

The latest news and updates from the Scout Network

It was another busy week for the Scout Network last week, as FPL Poker Player and Transfer Algorithm joined the line-up.

We formed this initiative to bring together some of the community’s best content, tools, podcasts, websites and video. 

FPL Poker Player has become an important part of the FPL community both in terms of his social media content and with his use of transferable skills from Poker to aid decision making in FPL. 

Other new member Mikkel from Transfer Algorithm, Mikkel is under the spotlight this week.

If you are interested in being part of either the Scout Network or the Scout Academy please get in touch HERE.

FPL BlackBox 

FPL BlackBox had its first guest ahead of Gameweek 3. Mark and Az were joined by Luke a.k.a. D1sable to discuss who the “whipping boys” are this season, which teams we should be targeting, price rises and much more.

Ted Talks FPL 

Ted looked at replacements for Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) in the build-up to Gameweek 3, specifically focussing on value options. Make sure you check out his graphical fixture tickers, deep-dive into stats for all positions and prices.

El Statto 

This week El Statto added a user tutorial to his partner FPLDackel’s YouTube channel. This is to help explain how the interactive stats work on his website work and also to explain how the new filters. The website tables are now able to be filter by team.

FPL Family 

The Sunday night FPLFamily Live Stream has been watched over thirty thousand times for two weeks in a row now.). Lee and Sam recorded the third round of Sam vs Lee – The Points Predictor last week, with Sam holding a 2-0 lead from the opening two Gameweeks.  Sam has also been involved in launching the Arabic language version of the Fantasy Football Scout website alongside another member of the Scout Network, Karam Tayser from Fantasy Chat.  

FPL Nymfria 

If you’re struggling with a poor start to the season, take solace in the fact that you’re not the only one. FPL Nymfria had one of her worst Gameweeks ever, and responded by deploying her Wildcard. You can see what that looked like HERE. She was also invited as a guest on the FPL Experiment Podcast this week where she discussed her journey into FPL, as well as the hurt of selling Son ahead of his four goals.

KingFut 

Ahead of Gameweek 3, KingFut pundits Mohamed Korain and Omar Khairallah assessed what turned out to be the highest goal-scoring gameweek in FPL’s history in the latest episode of ‘King El Fantasy’. The duo discussed their next steps, players to watch amidst all the early transfers and Wildcards, as well as the captaincy choices for the third Gameweek – which stirred a lot of debate in the FPL community.

Spotlight: Transfer Algorithm 

Transfer Algorithm isTor Mikkel Tokvam’s personal project which uses underlying data to determine expected FPL points and value within the budget restraints for his team. Over time, this  has gained support in a closed FPL community and is now one of the fastest growing FPL tools to enhance points scoring potential. Transfer Algorithm uses over a dozen key statistics to consider each potential player, using both recent and historic form. 

The Transfer Algorithm also draws on minutes played, big chances, goal attempts, chances created, shots, key passes and touches. By combining these data points with fixture ratings alongside the budget and pricing restraints the algorithm is then able to rank players in tables by play position. The Transfer Algorithm is also able to consider individual fixtures to generate a weekly captain calculator to help managers make the best captain choices. 

“The Transfer Algorithm is perhaps a bit difficult to understand for those who haven’t used them before. The Transfer Algorithm load tonnes of player data for every player, and combine those data into expected FPL points for their past performances. In addition to the FPL points they actually have managed to score, these data combine to give the strength of each player going forward. Recent performances count a lot, past performances count less.  Combine this strength with the expected minutes for the player going forward and the upcoming fixture list, the Transfer Hub calculates the point-expectation for the player.” – Tor Mikkel Tokvam

All players are then subject to the money-limiting vector field (captaincy material considered) . The vector field create a list of players by a BCV rating (BCV stand for Budget-Constrained-Value). The ranking of players is trying to tell which players will be the best to buy/hold, and who will be the priority to get rid of.’

The Transfer Algorithm takes in to account:

  • The players position (midfielder/forward) and team
  • The players FPL price
  • The players average minutes (this is the only factor in the algorithm which is subjective)
  • The players weighted underlying PPM – This is the core of the algorithm, the big data. The algorithm sample the 16 most important playing statistics back to 2011 for every player.  The player data is divided into two, the real outcome, and the expected outcome. Both are given the same importance
  • The players PPG – Points per game (simply expected minutes multiplied by underlying points per minute.)
  • The fixture ratio – The algorithm imports the fixture list, and gives every opponent a rating based on their strengths reflected by the betting market, an example is shown below
  • The players PPGW-adj – this is just a short version of Points Per Gameweek adjusted for fixture difficulty. 
  • The managers BCV – budget constrained value

The Algorithm also shows the Delta which is the relative changes in BCV compared to the other players from the previous Gameweek.

      Is your WC actually activated?

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not yet. Just toying with it

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Don't wildcard. That team you have now is okay. Not great, but not worth WC'ing now imo. It's either last week or wait until GW5 or 6.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very similar to what I'm looking at. Would love to squeeze Vardy in but really tough without losing TAA or one of the big mids

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Semedo out and Vardy over Jimenez but not sure I want to lose Jimi

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Wolves next 6 fixtures are great. Expect them to bounce back

          Wolves- FUL lee NEW CRY lei SOT

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yep I think I'll stick with Jimi, Ings and DCL front line. Even toyed with going KDB to Mahrez for next few which would allow me to squeeze in Bruno:

            TAA 3x4.5 Mitchell
            Bruno Salah Mahrez Barnes
            Ings Jimi DCL

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wow you got the exact same team as mine..

      Been toying with a wildcard a well but i think i hold, thinking of taking out Martial to Jimmy or Werner en Mitro to DCL and Jimmy for a hit.

    4. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

  3. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Order these 5, from best to worse.

    1. Rodriguez
    2. Ings
    3. Havertz
    4. Rashford
    5. Bruno

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      All good options. Bruno probably standout but got to factor in the cost

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, would prob have to go alongside a 6m player.

        Whereas I could prob have a combo of 2 of any of the other ones.

    2. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      currently i think Ings is top of that list at 8.4m. Got decent fixtures/form and Soton starting to show signs of why people tripled up on them at the start! Havertz bottom. probably Fernandes next best but united unconvincing at his price.

        Fulham couldn’t score at home to Villa

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years

          Exactly

            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Even money?! So Fulham would be 4/5 or 8/11to score? Seems about right, TBH...

      OR 1.9M wildcard Spunked.

      Is son to Mahrez a good move for free? Don't really rate the likes of Barnes or Zaha or Trossard.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes it is

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

        Yep especially with Jesus and aguero injured

      3. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Rodriguez?

        1. FER FUSCH AKE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Would get him if he was on pens. Also I do not want a double Everton attack with those fixtures.

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

          I think he might be one to assist the a assister a lot, and he doesn’t get into the box enough which means to score he has to score from out of the area, which will result in him scoring less goals than he could

      4. FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks lads

      5. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        if there has ever been a time for city assets without pep roulette its now. I've got Mahrez straight in and i'm captaining him next week.

    5. Kloppcorn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Is going salah and mane a good option?

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

        Don't like that it locks me out of double defense

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

          You rather go double defence than double attack, Robertson has been very attacking so far tbf

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

            Absolutely, I prefer Salah + KDB so I get multiple (C) options. Most importantly, TAA and Robbo are the best value options in the game and while I have Robbo, I'll need to add TAA by GW10 at least. Was excellent vs Arsenal.

      2. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah

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

      Regarding Arsenal's defense, looks like Holding is nailed on and Gabriel will be rotated with David Luiz.

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

        I think all 3 will get rotated

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Holding looks good value and Tierney could be worth the 5.4

        ive gone podence to Mahrez with similar itb. pretty much nailed on to start.

        1. sunzip14

          Unfortunately, none.

      2. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It's good, especially if Zaha blows up.

      3. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Very nice. Like it, defence is maybe a bit light but front 7 looks great. Not convinced on Zaha as so inconsistent but could be great at 7m and lots of options to move to if it doesn't work out

        1. sunzip14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Thank you! You like Zaha or Robertson to double up with TAA?

      4. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        yeah i like that. If i was sitting with that now i'd probably go zaha/taylor to klich/castagne . Thats just me though. don't have those 2 and there on my watchlist.

        Looks good imo, which moves did you made?

        1. Lev Yashin
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Son, Mitro -> Vardy, Trossard

          1. Rhodes your boat
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Nice moves, kind of wish I’d got trossard over Barnes now

            1. Lev Yashin
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              TBH, I was looking at the LEI assets but couldn't decide on the best MF so went with Vardy.

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Looks great. Sort of wishing I just took a hit now instead of WCing!

        1. Lev Yashin
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Have a little faith Packie.

          Time will tell, I suppose.

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

        Out of curiosity, why is Foden on your bench?

        1. Lev Yashin
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I know, right?

          I just bought in Trossard for a hit so thought I'd give him a run out seeing as Foden started the last two games also got hooked after an hour against LEI

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

            Yeah Playing a Brighton player who misses for fun over Mcity player who although gets less chances is very precise

            1. Lev Yashin
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I can see where you're coming from but sometimes you have to go with your own flow, I suppose.

          2. DannyDrinkVodka
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I would probably bench Soucek, Foden could score a brace off the bench even

      4. Lev Yashin
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers all.

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

        Vinagre isnt nailed right? And after that horror show last time I dont think he is. Double Soton def is too much as welll

        1. Lev Yashin
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Davies on the bench but don't expect too much from him anyway.

          Double SOU is a concern but, as above, can ship Davies next week for the next great bandwagon.

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

        Davies vinagre need to go

        1. Lev Yashin
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Agree. But as long as I have 3 functioning defenders, I'm happy to roll with it and hope the front eight do their jobs.

      7. FPLnorm
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Appreciate you have TAA, but no Salah / Mane is a brave call!

    11. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years

      Neto or Podence? Podence fit?

      1. FER FUSCH AKE

        Podence if both are fit. Wait for presser.

      Despite all the advice, I'm determined to take a hit. So best way to spend my points?

      1) Rashford and Rodriguez

      3) Ings and Havertz

      4) Bruno and 6.9mid (Mount, Moura, Trossard, Soucek)

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Who are you taking out. Need some context to the moves

        1. You've got red on you.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          1. Son and Havertz out

          2. Son and Delap out

          3. Son and Havertz out

      2. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Just Ings

    14. yosim
      • 4 Years

      game seems to be allowing me to do another transfer for -4? already done 2 transfers for a hit ????

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        That's additional -4 to the -4 you have already taken

        1. yosim
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          ok, it says cost 0pts (free transfers = 0), I thought maybe it should say -4 already

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

        You can take as many hits as you want

    15. NUFCAndrew
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Best Son replacement?

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cute daughter 😀

        Can't tell without knowing who you have but Mahrez, Barnes, Zaha, Hames etc are popular currently

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Mahrez, Barnes, Trossard look good. Bruno if you have cash

      3. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Got Barnes but trossard interested me too

      4. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Rodriguez

      5. Lev Yashin
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Went with Trossard

    16. pakornk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Zaha or Grealish?

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Zaha for the fixtures I think

    17. bootsmanus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      FPL is a marathon, but you still have to run quick!

      Ranked somewhere aroud 100k, I hit the WC because I want to stay ahead. Made 6 changes and on this penal-deluxe team now with a fairly decent bench (0.0 ITB).

      McCarthy / Button
      TAA / Robbo / Taylor / Justin / Mitchell
      Salah / KDB / Zaha / Klich / Soucek
      Rich / Ings / Maupay

      Any small things you would change, let's say in the 4.5/4 defender bracket or keeper? Maybe Lamptey instead of Taylor and downgrade Soucek?

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Like it, Id get lamptey over taylor and maybe consider trossard

        1. bootsmanus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          With two away games, Salah to Mane to free up 0.1 for Lamptey also a valid option?

          1. DannyDrinkVodka
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            perfect

      2. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        lamptey looks brilliant so yes.

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

        Rich/Ings/Maupay is seriously good up up front

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

        what would your team value be with the changes made?

        1. bootsmanus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          100.7

          1. DannyDrinkVodka
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            solid, Mane over Salah is a massive improvement for the away games too

    18. pakornk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Do the middle east really play as much fantasy football that they need a section of their own? Surely they could read English if they're playing this game?

      1. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        playing the game is easy. Its numbers! reading articles is another matter.

    19. Budgies
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      My current team:

      Martinez
      Digne, Saiss, Gabriel
      KDB, Bruno, J Rod, Podence*
      Lacazette, DCL, Jimenez
      (Steer, Zaha, Justin, Mitchell)

      £1m in bank. Struggling what to do here, podence is a dobt currently but think he will play next game. I weighing up:

      Zaha > D.Jota
      Gabriel > Castagne

      Still leaves £1.1 in bank.

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I wouldn't get Jota, he won't be starter at Liverpool

      2. Rassi
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Zaha is facing a great run of fixtures. Why would you transfer him out no?

        1. The Son-dance Kid
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Zaha has proven to be a trap in prior years. Quite inconsistent for fpl returns.

      3. Breaking FPL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No idea why you're even considering Jota, can't see him starting a single Premier League game without an injury to one of their main 11

    20. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I have Greenwood, who should l start in defence next GW please?

      (A) Doherty (United A)

      (B) Bednarek (WBA H)

      Thanks.

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

        A, for attacking returns

      2. Lev Yashin
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        B

        1. Lev Yashin
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          For scrapping returns

    21. b91jh

      Does it WCable?

      Current squad

      Johnstone
      TAA Justin KWP
      KDB Son Rodriguez Diangana
      Jimenez Kane DCL

      Button Mitchell Dallas Reed

      WC squad

      Martinez
      TAA Robbo James
      Salah/Raz KDB Zaha Klich
      Jimenez DCL Maupay

      Steer Lamptey Mitchell Stephens

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        There are enough changes to justify the wc but original team is good enough to save the wc for now

    22. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      For those that haven't used a WC yet, do you have a planned GW to use it?

      For my team, several players have a bit of a fixture swing/other players have better fixtures at the GW10 mark so I'll bit hitting it then.

      1. Lev Yashin
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not really planned my WC yet.

        I usually just hang onto it in the hope it will give me an advantage somewhere along the way.

      2. Over The Mounié
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I will try to use it at the last possible moment, or earlier if something unexpected happens. The game advance one gameweek at a time so there's rarely a sudden increase of information that would make me want to use my wildcard.

    23. camarozz

      Advice appreciated

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

        I mean I still have WC and no hits taken so far. But struggling big time obviously

    24. NUFCAndrew
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      So after some thought it comes down to this.

      A: Son > Barnes
      B: Son > Trossard
      C: Son > Mahrez
      D: Son + Werner > Bruno + DCL

      1. Mighty Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        D

      2. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Can you afford D with Richarlison?

        1. NUFCAndrew
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yes

          1. DannyDrinkVodka
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            That might be a better option as Richarlison is apparently on penalties

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        D

    25. zman575

      Hey guys, so this is my current team after an 8 point hit this week to bring in vardy barnes and foden on saturday night (before sons injury and vardys hattrick).

      mccarthy steer
      taa justin mitchell taylor vinagre
      son salah barnes foden anguissa
      dcl jimi vardy

      Which of the following would you guys do about son.

      A. Hold with current team and move son on next week, benching him this week for taylor away at newcastle.

      B. Bring traore in for anguissa (ive got 2 mil in the bank) for an extra 4 point hit taking my total hit up to 12 points which is obviously huge but could be well rewarded with those wolves and leicester fixtures over the coming weeks.

      C. Bring Mahrez/Greenwood or even Puli/Ziyech (if they are back) for son again for an extra 4 point hit taking my total points hit up to 12 for the week.

      I dont mind a hit if i think the player will more than outscore his replacement by 4 points and especially if its over a 2-3 game period like mahrez or traore.

      Let me know your thoughts please guys!

    26. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years

        1. FOMFF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Potentially. Both have great fixtures coming up.
