As an FPL manager, is there room for nostalgia? I’m finding myself lured into an Alli captain this weekend, with his excellent record against Chelsea being a contributing factor for this. Is thi…

What we learnt in the runup to Gameweek 18... Happy Friday! No roundup next week in all likelihood - I don't know if pressers are on / when the pressers are so not going to make any promises I cou…

A common strategy employed by many FPL managers, is to double up on attacking assets from one club when they have a good run of form / fixtures. I’ve done it this season with Sterling + David Si…

Who do you think will find form and step up to score big this GW, and why? Maybe someone who hasn't had a double digit score in a while, has a series of no attacking returns, or has very low owner…

How best to distribute funds in defence? Liverpool have only kept 3 clean sheets, have tough games ahead and a blank. Lundstram hasn’t delivered recently either. Should we be ditching Liverpool …

What we learnt in the runup to Gameweek 17… Liverpool Lovren is out with a “more serious than last time” injury. “Virgil [Van Dijk], Joe [Gomez] and Sadio [Mane], they are all available a…

In what’s been an unpredictable season to date, Leicester City have the best defensive record in the Premier League, with ten goals conceded. Over the last five Gameweeks, only The Foxes, Burnle…

Following on from last week’s preview, here are my thoughts and predictions for GW 17:- Liverpool v Watford The last 2 fixtures at Anfield between the 2 times have both finished 5-0. I’m not…

The Great and The Good ownership of City players has decreased dramatically, is it wise to sell? Is it time to move on Liverpool assets with their busy and blank GW18 schedule? Are the previous sea…

The Gameweeks might slow down for a couple of weeks but we're still in need of a new Community Champion. The Scouts have picked up another win in Gameweek 16 with a score of 84-64 thanks to a shre…

Is Jimenez out the right choice? He's dropped from £7.7m to £7.5m. There are plenty of great forward options so maybe it's just too difficult to fit him in, especially with Rashford in such gre…

After watching the West Ham v Arsenal game last night, I'm tempted to bring in Man City attacking assets. The first half was absolutely woeful. Stale is an understatement. The sloppy defending al…

Live Scoutcast TUES 8PM Feel free to leave your questions here about the players, teams and talking points you'd like us to discuss.

Chelsea assets are definitely testing the patience of FPL managers. Abraham’s injury in 14, return with a goal in 15, injury worries again in the build up to 16 (which were proved unfounded) bu…

Morning all! What's everyone's thoughts on Rashford? Going to keep this up, or will he and United struggle against teams who sit back a bit more? On paper the fixtures look nice over Christmas, …

Liverpool would have played 17 games in two months by the end of GW24. Watford home GW17, Wolves home GW20 & Sheffield Utd home GW21 all have rotation written all over them for Salah & Mane etc. …

It was about this time last year that Mo Salah scored a hat trick at Bournemouth and I had what was probably my best gameweek of the season as I captained the Egyptian whilst others were moving him…

What do you think will be the next midfield template? I feel like I'm at a crossroads with my midfield. I have Sadio Mane, Kevin De Bruyne and James Maddison, who are going nowhere. I'm still roll…

What we learnt in the runup to Gameweek 16… You might notice a few teams are missing. This is mainly because I can’t find a press conference from their boss or because there was nothing that I…

Bournemouth v Liverpool I expect a big response from Salah. One of the most selfish players in the premier league. He will be fresh and should be raring to go after seeing how Origi and Shaq step…

The January transfer window is fast approaching, with clubs looking at how they can improve their squads. The window in England starts on New Year’s Day, and closes at 11pm on January 31. But w…

It's almost a new Gameweek already so we need a new Community Champion! With two games still to go it looks like the Scouts may pick up a very narrow victory following Mane's 15 point haul. Think…

Liverpool defence... Even Jonny Evans has taken over Robertson, and is joint with TAA on points. They're still right up there, but obviously come with a hefty price tag. It's difficult to get ri…

Scoutcast tonight 9pm! - Looking ahead to Gameweek 16 In the meantime feel free to leave your questions for us here.

What to do with Raheem Sterling? £11.9m and a 4th blank in 5 games last night. He's still averaging 5.6ppm for the season, the GW1 score obviously helped with that, but he has only had 2 double …

Cheers Kroos Kontrol, this is a great idea! Some fond memories of past successes there, and plenty that I overlooked / ignored for far too long (cough Vardy!). Who makes your FPL team of the decad…

Is Zaha the real deal or a bandwagon that's going to flop? The fixtures are of course one of the big pulls - Bournemouth (h), Watford (a), Brighton (h), Newcastle (a), West Ham (h), Southampton (a…
