First captaincy video and podcast of the season! David and I discuss the best armband options for Gameweek 1. Who are you captaining? https://soundcloud.com/fantasyfootballscout/fpl-gameweek-1-b…

BEST 5.5 mid and why. Those names Robinson; Mcginn sound so uncool. Worth punting on Jorge or Noble who plays every week. Really strengthens my team elsewhere.

Some thoughts re: Everton pre-season. Defensively have looked quite good with 3 clean sheets in 5 friendlies. Yerry Mina has slotted in really well with a lot of crucial interceptions and strong a…

With most teams having at least one, who do you think are the best picks from the 6m / 6.5m forward bracket? King, Barnes, Wood, Deulofeu, Jota, Wesley, Murray and Adams have all been mentioned a …

If Harry Maguire signs for United is he worth considering?

Thank you for this FPLV! It's a problem a lot of managers have faced in recent seasons - luck can really play a major part in deciding how your season goes, especially with the sheer number of man…

There is plenty of clamour for doubling or even tripling up on Liverpool's backline heading into GW1. Boasting 21 clean sheets last term, it's hardly surprising - but what really sets these premium…

I noticed that players that look overpriced this season end up being viable as the alternatives are not great... Fab, AWB.... But who is the most underpriced?

Where are you spending your money? Who are your more expensive players? Let's do this by position. GK - 5.5m or higher DEF - 5.5m or higher MID - 8.0m or higher FOR - 8.0m or higher

Who is everyone's choice of keeper then? I am looking at a 4.5m. I think the Burnley keeper is the best option but who will start? Similar problem with the Bournemouth keeper. I think Henderson …

With the transfer of Lys Mousset to SUFC for £10m, does this give some thought to a 5.0 striker/4.5 defender rotation? Will you be getting him in?

Keeper Rotation/ Fixture Strength - A Myth A lot were talking about poor fixtures for keepers. So i decided to look into it. My case study includes Fabianski, Dave, Ryan, Schmeichel and Pickford a…

I don't understand why people are going 5 at the back this year so much. This has happened in a few previous seasons (last one too actually) and it never works out. I have noticed it is typically t…

Haller Last season 39 Appearances (32 Starts) 20 Goals 12 Assists Tall strong striker with good eye for a pass. Possibly the penalty taker as well. Thoughts?

I can’t help tinkering with my team, but I feel there’s not much point in trying to create a serious draft at the moment because there’s a lot of things so up in the air. The following topics…

Salah + Sterling means you almost certainly have to go for 6.5s upfront, unless you kill other areas of your team Salah + Aguero/Kane is better for team balance, but no Sterling could seriously co…

My current GW1 Team has 62.3 on RMT. How's yours doing?

We're inching closer to GW1! Who has been in your side in every (or nearly every) draft?

Don’t see a lot of teams with Kane in it, with a good rest this summer I can see him doing the damage especially with the first game at home to villa.

Just some notes on a West Ham pre-season friendly yesterday because there is some fpl interest. Admittedly WH were playing their first run out and got a narrow win against an average Austrian Bunde…
