Clarification. Mark said on the scoutcast and in the pre scoutpicks article that Burnley will be able to deal with West Brom's set piece threat. Not true. Burnley conceded the most set piece att…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic At what point is a player over priced. On last night's Scoutcast there was an interesting discussion on whether certain players are over priced. Kane was …

Having heard a lot of rubbish being spouted by every man and his dog about Spurs’ move to Wembley, I thought I’d share my (relatively educated) knowledge about home advantage (HA) - and inevita…

Imo those with Zaha should be patient and suffer the price drop. Your 4th/ 5th defender or 5th midfielder should be enough to cover the injury for this week. There are plenty of option at 6.5 or l…

Why do people on here keep saying Mkhitaryan is not nailed? What nonsense is that? He's the 2nd most nailed United attack after Lukaku.

With the Guardian reporting that Zaha could be out for four weeks what are his owners doing? Has the magnificent 7 lost its shine? Have you money in the bank for a more expensive replacement, or …

A second debut of the day. Peter K or "Special K" as I predictably like to call him, arrives with his weekly views on the Gameweek. Lovely stuff. Welcome to the team, Peter.

Yep, a big welcome to Nick and Tom to the site. We've never really focused on the market with a dedicated article and, given the work that these guys were doing on their own site and podcast, thi…

Massive apologies. I omitted Sergio Aguero from our Captain Poll this morning and therefore have added him now. However, I feel that we need to reset the vote given the advantage that Jesus was s…

Hi guys, for anyone interested, I've had a look at the players over the weekend who 'Should have done better'- they were well involved in their team's attacking play, but didn't register any attack…

Can anyone point me to the origin of the theory that high ownership players drop faster in price? Thanks.

So what were people's thoughts on Lacazette in general?

Kind of an off-topic question. Do any of you worry that FPL adversely affects how you enjoy the game (and the matches)? Each year I put together a squad (at least partially because it gives me some…

What is your defence structure? I'm currently on: 5.5 4.0 6.0 5.5 4.5 4.5 4.0

Why do I see Willian in so many sides when Alonso is the same price and comfortably outscored him last season.
