Scoutcast: New Year’s FPL resolutions

Joe, Andy and Seb help Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers prepare for Gameweek 21 and the New Year.

With Covid continuing to wreck the fixture schedule planning is proving tricky in FPL this Christmas. The imminent scheduling of Double Gameweeks is making team tweaks especially difficult.

To ensure their content stays relevant ahead of Gameweek 21, our Scoutcast trio focus on their New Year FPL resolutions as they look ahead to 2022. This involves pinpointing the changes they’d like to make in the way they play the game.

This chat also takes in the community’s own resolutions, with the importance of managing Fantasy Football in the context of family life mentioned by Joe and many others.

Meanwhile, Seb’s resolution takes in the value of hits, while Andy is keen to avoid planning in such uncertain times.

The Scoutcasters look back on their mixed fortunes in Gameweek 20 and over the festive schedule so far.  

They also reveal their teams for the first Gameweek of 2022, frisk the rest of the upcoming fixtures and check in on the Community Team, which they are managing on behalf of a top manager who is taking a break.

Elsewhere, the live chat community is called on to pose some quick-fire questions to our Scoutcasters, who do their best to give one word answers to the key issues facing Fantasy managers. This section will be a new regular feature as the Scoutcast team tap into the knowledge of the live chat crew even more in the months ahead.

This week’s live show took place on Thursday December 30. Be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel to get notified of future live episodes. It is also available as a podcast.

    Someone out there is getting Bowen in for Dalot...

  2. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    James , Martinelli and Jesus to Cash, Bowen/Maddison and Watkins-8?

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I always hesitate when it's -8, but that could very much pay off.

    2. Thanos

      Go for it DD!

      I did Stones + Raph + Laca for Laporte + Benny + (K)aku this week. A net swing of +23 points.

  3. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Pick two players to bench, please:

    A. Dias (ars, have Cancelo)
    B. Broja (NEW)
    C. Cash (bre)
    D. Martinelli (mci)

      Newcastle game is likely off

      So, Big D

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Thank you, sir, always helpful

    3. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I predict a clean sheet and a couple of goals for City. So, play Dias.
      I prefer higher ceilings, so play Broja.

      Hence, bench Cash and Martinelli.

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I like your reasoning.

    People own Dalot?

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

      People bench Bowen vs. WAT?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Pwned 😆

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I pwned Bernardo owners with Mahrez for weeks and now get Bowen off the bench for Mahrez 😎

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Amazing work

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        When they have too strong a team with Mahrez, yeah

        Fabio Borges benched him too, by the way. Leave it to the pros

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

          I still don't get why you played Alonso over Bowen. That's a casual move. No excuses!

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Explained that yesterday for which you still haven't responded because you had no counterarguments

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

              I read it, don't worry. It makes zero sense. The mere fact Alonso (if he was even going to start) would have been up against Lamptey was the huge red flag you missed. That and Watford's lack of clean sheets 😀

              1. Cok3y5murf
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Lol he was up against him after coming on, did not concede, and it took a 92nd-minute equalizer from Welbeck with Lamptey not even on the pitch. What are you on about?

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

                  Lamptey came off about after 65 mins because he was tired. He was skinning James earlier in the match. If Alonso started, game over.

                  Alonso barely touched the ball that match. When the did, he often buggered it up yesterday.

                  Even if he kept a CS, was. 6 vs. 14.

                  1. Cok3y5murf
                    • 7 Years
                    2 years, 3 months ago

                    The thing is, I made a bench transfer. I had no bench and had Mahrez in my starting 11 who I thought would be benched, so I felt I needed a playing bench player. The transfer was Wilson to Antonio.

                    If I hadn't made that transfer (scenario A), I would have had no choice but to play Bowen anyway.

                    By making that transfer (scenario B), I had a benching headache yes, but no matter who I'd benched, they would have come on for Mahrez anyway.

                    So in both scenarios, I would've gotten Bowen's points. Me making the bench transfer was ensuring I had cover for Mahrez, which in the end was a good move that got me an extra 5 pts (Antonio). I'll be the first to admit if it was jam, but this was planning because Mahrez benching was not rocket science to predict.

                      2 years, 3 months ago

                      Big explanation for the fact you just got lucky lol.

                      1. Cok3y5murf
                        • 7 Years
                        2 years, 3 months ago

                        No, just offering a tip on how to play during fixture congestion. Might help you have a better season

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

                        My rank is fine this season mate 😆

          2. Lanley Staurel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            He could get attacking returns and a clean sheet.Bowen just attacking returns. Works many times so certainly not a casual move. Bit patronising.

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

              I'm just giving as good as Cok3y5murf always gives. Can't take it? Don't dish it out.

              1. Ginkapo FPL
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Nope, you are failing to learn yet again. Let go of your ego for once

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

                  More of an ego-check actually. I laugh at my own mistakes.

                  Only go and rib users who are doing it 24/7 to others. If they get so wound up about it, maybe they should think about what they post.

                  1. Ginkapo FPL
                    • 12 Years
                    2 years, 3 months ago

                    Does that make you a better person? Some kind of white knight?

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

                      I'm not telling them to stop. Don't whinge if you can't take it yourself.

                      If it's so annoying, take look in the mirror.

              2. Lanley Staurel

                • 13 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                I think you are firing your bullet at the wrong person. Why not just get out of the pit yourself.

            2. Cok3y5murf

              2 years, 3 months ago

              This. And he said it after Bowen's haul, the usual hindsight post you see here

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

                You were celebrating Alonso on the bench... Don't @ hindsight me Mr. Clever Cloggs 😉

                1. Cok3y5murf
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Well duh, anyone would take a confirmed 14-pointer over a potential blank no matter who it is

      Interesting to know whether your players are playing or not. Makes the games more exciting.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        yeah i get that. Just dont get why people is getting antsy about getting it an hour and a half before kickoff when we can know for sure an hour before. literally makes no difference

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          It's like picking your team for the next week as soon as you can after the update.

        2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          There is very little on this forum that makes sense in the grander scheme of things. Adults throwing temper tantrums because a player in a fantasy team missed an open goal etc.

          But it’s great escapism so let’s enjoy it!

    leicester game on: smith rowe to madison and captain him

    leicester game off: smith rowe to moura

    also could so silva and james to son and 5m defender for a hit

    thoughts on these moves? thanks

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Maddison easy buy with a DGW, IF... Like Son & a cheap DGW defender too.

      Lets see what the state of play is come Saturday morning.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam

  8. lordkippe

    Dalot needs to go.... hoping he comes on at least

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He will be playing next game. Rotation not surprising

      1. lordkippe
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        True that. Edouard 1st Bench is ok I guess

        1. _Ninja_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I wouldn't bench Edouard for Dalot.

  9. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A: Watkins Gray Davies
    B: King Maddison Reguilon

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      a as gray has very nice fixtures

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        however not sure davies is long term might be safer with dier

        1. School of Poch
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Yes could easily be Dier instead. Could also do Bilva > Maddison as a future move for Leicester cover

          Basically both are potential -8 replacements for James Mbuemo Hwang. Or do 2 of them for -4 and 1 a week later

    3. balint84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A. Watkins better than King

  10. Gazwaz80

    Got Dennis’s 7 points languishing on my bench (1st) 🙁

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      The luxury of a bench. Don't know last time I had one.

      Unless Tonsldo trips over his laces whilst running onto the pitch 😀

      1. Gazwaz80

        Ronaldo:)

    3. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I've Gallagher and his 0 languishing on mine

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I’ll swap you, won’t make me feel as bad 🙂
        With his points, I’d have been on 53 points with Ronny and De Gea to go.
        When I read that back it looks pretty crap but that would have actually been a decent gameweek score…

      Where is the gegenpress coming from here? Only Cavani a few years back from the front 4 capable, Mct maybe, why did they appoint a manager with gegenpress as his style but he plays not de beek, lingard who actually can handle this?

        Ralf doesn't play Gegenpress though?

          He was the founder of this style, before Klopp and all the others.

            Really? Thanks for letting me know - I wasn't aware.

    8. Pompel

      Starting to understand why I'm currently on a GW rank of 8m+

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years

        You did alright last year?

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          14K, so yes have had better seasons. Have at least been top 100K save for one season

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

      10

      Salah C, James, Rudiger, sitting on 27 with Ddg to play.

      Red arrow & knocked out of the cups!

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        27 not that bad, at least not if you get a cs today

  14. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Cornet didn't make it

    1. Thanos
      • 2 Years

      Any new update on him?

  15. brianutd-why always we? 20

    VDB still can’t get a start

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ronaldo was horrible the last evening but keeps his place. Bigger than the club.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He's not going to score every game.

      Every 2 or 3 is still great.

      Only Salah the exception and others for say 6 game sequence.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        2 blanks in a row now for Salah….

    2. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Although he had a few poor attempts, his general movement and running was good. Mid just failed to find him. Also he’s one of the greatest ever and only needs half a chance even when playing badly.

    3. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Same as Salah. who will also keep his place, can't score every game.

    1. Rainer

      Black smoke rises over OT...

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Off at Christmas. Thought that would be his busiest time.

  18. ‘Tis the Season
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    United to have a shocker without their star player...Fred. 😛

  19. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Brownhill?

    1. balint84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      1pointer maybe

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Not in the squad

      2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Not in squad is he

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Looks like it's all downhill for Brownhill

  20. One More Hit
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Brought Dalot in on w/c, shouldn’t have believed the hype. Least he’s an easy swap out to a Burnley player. Only 9 players for me this week as it stands

  21. balint84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Now i prefer to sell dalot, rather than james

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Dalot might be back next GW, James won’t.

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

      Sell James first I would say, he could start next

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

        Agree. Got to sell James. More bang for your buck too.

  22. rokonto

    What's up with Bruno?

      Banned

    2. Rainer

      5 YCs, ban.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        If you mean in general, he's lost his pens & just wants to play Hail Mary passes, dive & moan to the ref.

        1. Dammit_182

          Hahaha

  23. Dammit_182
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I’m 35 and just jolted my knee turning too quickly in the kitchen because I forgot to pick up the bottle opener, spend most days sat in a bedroom on a lap top ‘working from home’ and am definitely grateful for the ‘comfy pants’ Santa got me after exclusively consuming crisps, chocolate and beer for the last week.

    Seeing the United front 2 makes me think I should make the effort to be in slightly better shape….

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Those kitchen turns are tricky especially if you are holding a bottle opener. Dont be harsh on yourself.

      1. Dammit_182
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        That’s just the pick me up I needed today 🙂

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm sure +300k per week would be sufficient motivation...

      1. Dammit_182
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        It would be a start….as long as it’s not evenings and weekends

    3. Ginkapo FPL

      I hear an apple a day works wonders. Maybe try a few ciders

    4. Threat Level Midnight

      Name checks out

    5. Hazz

      Knee issues are no joke. Look after them buddy!

  24. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Burnley best players in better form than Manchester United according to SofaScore stats and ratings.

    Will rested or rusty or struggling to gel be the order of the night?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Considering the game vs Newcastle and how many favourites that have lost points this GW I’m not surprised if Villa wins this.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

  25. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Not surprising to see that Utd have finally abandoned the Telles and Dalot experiment. They aren't good enough.

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Still probably concede

  26. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Just curious to know how people get "leaked" lineups? There always seems to be at least 1-2 people who get these lineups and post them on Twitter which are accurate.

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Internal links probably

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

      Know people who know people...

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Journalists get them 75minutes before the game but arent supposed to post till 60 mins before the game

      1. Thanos
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Didn't know that - thanks!

  27. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Dalot benched thankfully, was dreadful against Newcastle

  28. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Where the heck is Pope? Key asset for any wildcards being flung around.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Busy preparing for New Years Day Mass

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

      I just checked to see if he had fallen much from my guessed start price of 5m...

      5.4m, wtf 😆

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I know and for an out of sorts Burnely. Crazy money. But they have abut a doesnt games in hand. Cant risk him though if hes not a secure no 1.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah he'll come into play second half of the season.

          He's #1 for sure, Dyche mentioned some Covid in the camp a few days ago, could be himself & Brownhill...

  29. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Brownhill and others out with Covid-19.

    Didn't hear if it was Pope but likely...

  30. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best move?

    a) Alonso > Reguilon/Dier
    b) Alonso > Laporte
    c) Alonso > Castagne
    d) Dalot > Dier
    e) Dalot > Coady

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Have DDG currently too so United defensive double up

    2. Ephurion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A if you beed the cash for future transfers
      D if you don't right now and can bench Alonso
