The ScoutCast Episode 265 – Difference

This week the ScoutCast crew are determined to bust the myth that they share identical strategies.

Long-term maverick Luke returns to reveal his freshly Wildcarded team which bravely went into Gameweek 2 without Manchester City’s hat-trick hero Sergio Aguero and last season’s points-scoring sensation Mohamed Salah.

In stark contrast, Az is continuing his march up the rankings thanks to his faith in this premium pair, and his resolve in resisting broadsheet tittle-tattle hinting that the Argentinian would be dropped.

David is also beating a different drum and keen to explain the reasons behind his chequered FPL history and how his fortunes already look better this time around.

That leaves me as the only dullard representative, armed with a bunch of ownership statistics, a goals imminent table and a dubious ‘camping’ excuse to explain my recent poor captaincy decision.

Our differing views across a range of key issues facing Fantasy Premier League manages ahead of Gameweek 3 are aired.

Our assessment of Chelsea and Arsenal assets ahead of their favourable fixtures is top of our list. And we also ponder whether Spurs’ players can compete as assets this season and indulge in some bargain hunting up front.

            Of course 🙂

      VVD ? Vertonghen?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeh VVD

    5. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      VVD probably my favourite - he’d up there at least.
      Vertonghen also up there.

    6. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Toby, VVD, have a feeling Laporte could be up there

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I do like Toby and Laporte has looked great.

    7. Agger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I can't take it serious.
      Jamie Carragher said VVD is the best central defender in the world after the Palace game. Completely forgetting about Godin, Savic Giménez, Pique, Umtiti, Varane, Ramos, Miranda, Silva, Chiellini, Bonucci, Hummels etc etc

      They think the PL is the only eague that exists I swear. It's not even that good!

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Varane is quite clearly the best in the world

      2. Amsterhammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ramos also

      3. Doolittle
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah they're clueless about anything outside the PL, Carragher was saying the other day about how we still have no idea if Alisson and Keita are any good as we only have Alisson's World Cup to base it on, as if the two had never played a game of football before that.

        1. Agger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Haha that's so accurate!!

  2. Powell

    I’m guilty of being pessimistic with FPL, but my team is flooded with Chelsea, Everton, City and Liverpool heading into the next three gameweeks. I’m incredibly optimistic.

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pedro, richarlison, alonso, mendy, Aguero, salah, mane, Robertson all to go down with illness

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      This site needs more optimism .

      1. Powell
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I agree. Sulking everywhere. Over there. Certainly over there too... I’m going to clean up the next three weeks, then wildcard GW6 for the Kane and Trippier run. Beautiful

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          🙂

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why Everton?

      1. Powell
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Why Everton? Their first five fixtures were created by an Everton fan. Two good weeks already, three more to come. See who survives GW6 wildcard

    4. The Mandalorian
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah same same big investment in top 6 teams for the next 6 weeks

  3. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Those you cant get Mane , get Pogba very good differential

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He likes a pen and the ref likes to give Utd pens so makes sense.

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Lol I didn’t even know people were still claiming this

        1. kalmoffit
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Walked into pub to watch first game of season. Pogba was taking one already

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Haha that’s funny 🙂
            They got 3 last year, so wouldn’t say they are getting preferential treatment

            1. I Member
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              If there no refereeing errors United would've finished 4th last season, at least according to this:

              http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/11464137/liverpool-unluckiest-team-in-premier-league-last-season-according-to-espn-luck-index

  4. Dele
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Can Mane and Alonso wipe a -8 hit?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      They are both capable of big hauls, -8 is risky though

    2. Khark
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who you’ve taken out

      1. Dele
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez, King, Peltier :/

        1. Khark
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          No then. King scores a brace this weekend

    3. The Mandalorian
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    4. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I never understand looking at 1 week when talking hits. It has to be a 3 week look at IMO. Mane and Alonso taking place of Erik and Bailly will make up more than 8 points over that period.

  5. tabzy
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Talking myself in and out of Mhki move. Help!

    Last season I’d have got him in a heartbeat but should I be a more patient manager this time and gather more data from the Arsenal game and trust in Bilva against Wolves?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Stick with Bilva, I am.

      Definitely not for a hit

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would I be for free?

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        it*

      2. tabzy
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers.

        Yeah, a -4. Moved early with 2 frees to get Alonso in.

        If I wait out the price rise and Arsenal perform then I’ll be priced out of Mhki and Auba. Could still get Auba but with their fixtures I could be kicking myself. First real season conundrum

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn’t do it for a -4 to be honest.

          I can see your thinking though.

          1. Eze Really?
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            You have to think past 1 week. I am not great fantasy player. Had a couple in top 5k and 1 in top 1k. Average on this site. Last year I took 60 points in hits and it worked out I made 96 points by those decisions. Kane afailure for me with a hit and that was probably what most would have done at the time.

            1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              I am thinking past one week and think Bilva has every chance in outscorig Mkhi. So if I were to do that move I’d do it for free next week, but that’s just my opinion.

    3. Big Ping
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Stick

    4. Pinky Blinders
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I know how you feel, it is hard to trust Mhki for some reason. But I decided to do that swap this week since he is probably going to rise, has a nice fixture run starting and having Bilva prevented me from getting Ederson. Plus I didn't really have any fires to put out. I also looked at Pedro but I think I'd rather get Alonso in down the road.

      1. tabzy
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers all.

        Comes down to whether I listen to Captain Sensible or Maestro Maverick! Whether I play it safe or speculatively.
        Ain’t fantasy football a joy...

    5. Penguin
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He’ll get double figures this weekend

    6. Old Man Willow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I've been thinking about this for a couple of days and did Bilva to Mhki for -4 today. Bilva was basically playing right wing back at the Etihad, which is fine for a £6m defender with chances of clean sheets but not for a £7.5m midfielder. Plus I think Mhki and Auba are going to score a few between them this weekend.

      1. tabzy
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        The maverick in me might come through... that’s where the fun is right!

        1. tabzy
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Plus my missus is egging me on to do it so I can just blame her when it all goes pear-shaped! XD

  6. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best GK combo.. ?

    a) ederson & hamer

    b) foster & fabianski

    Thanks.

    1. Khark
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A set and forget

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      A

    3. Dave Dreamer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have b)

      I want a)

      1. SheBangsTheDrums
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This

    4. Robin Cook
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B
      I doubt Hamer will be starting many more games and with B you got a back up in case of injury, Secondly, I'd prefer to have an extra outfield player from city

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This
        + 0.5 more

      2. Dave Dreamer
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Personally I think Ed will be the top scoring keeper this year and is fixture proof. Worth the 0.5 imo

  7. SADIO SANÉ
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    would you rather have Auba & Ings or Firmino & Arnie ?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B long term

    2. Khark
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba Ings all day every day ... even on a Tuesday morning in Stoke

    3. Dave Dreamer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ings is "so hot right now" but what happens if injury or bad form hits. Would take some restructuring.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        A fellow Gameweek listener

      2. Khark
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Sling Kamara back in and take that extra 1million all the way to the bank baby

      3. SADIO SANÉ
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        restructuring is only a -4 away 😉

      4. Matthew
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Jimenez is another very good 5.5 option, just switch to him in that case

    4. XabiAlonso
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    5. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      cheers

    6. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    7. The Mandalorian
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d rather have the two forwards who are in form the names are irrelevant.

  8. jdogg
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Moura to mkhi worth -4?x

    1. Khark
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. FredrikH
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would say no. Felt sideways when I did it on my FT somehow. Fixtures may persuade you though. Tough call.

      1. suddenorgan
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I felt exactly the same, wish the fixtures had been a bit better for Lucas, feels like I've given up my only actual differential

    3. jdogg
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Its the fixtures.spurs have a hard run of games watford brighton are no mugs at home.and concerned poch might go to a back 3 and alli/eriksen narrow behind kane.x

  9. CunningStunt
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Already made free transfer to bring in Ings for King as I was worried of price drop. Then WB gets suspended and I probably don't have three defenders playing.

    Hart
    Luiz Mendy Peltier WB Bednarek
    Salah Mane Bilva Rich Stephens
    Aguero Firmino Ings

    £1m in the bank. Would you take a (-4) to bring in a defender for Bednarek? Doing so messes up my Bilva and Firmino to Mhki and Aubamenyang next week.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I would take the hit

    2. FredrikH
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would not take the hit. Your plans for next week too strong for that

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I dont agree that selling bilva and Firmino for a hit as strong

        1. FredrikH
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Bilva and Firmino to Auba Mhki any day. If he holds on he can even monitor them for this GW then have the opportunity to do it. If he goes for a useless defender for one week he missed the chance to do this. WB back next week. I'd definitely not take the hit now.

    3. Bialystrzelec
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No. Most likely that defender will bring 2 pts to the table, do after all you are -2 pts. Too risky imo.

  10. pstokes2010
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Have had an okay start so far. Any pointers on where I can go from here?
    3.4m in the bank.

    Pickford

    Mendy Van Dijk Alonso

    Sane Mane Jorginho Richarlison

    Mitrovic Aguero Arnautovic

    Speroni Neves Daniels Duffy

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jorginho to someone who actually attacks

    2. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A lot of money on the bench. 3rd outfield sub a bit of a waste IMO, especially when you have 3 premium defenders.

  11. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How does this transfer next week sound?

    Salah & Jimenez > Mikhi & Auba?

    1. tafrère
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No Salah no party

      1. Khark
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No Salah best party ever *

        I’m riding the no Salah train and my team feels B-E-A-UTIFUL

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Come back to us next week

          1. Khark
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Aye, this week against Brighton he’s gonna have my pants down round my ankles making me cry and begging him to stop.

            After this gameweek I’m feeling confident though. Have Mané and Robbo so hoping them boys assist the Mo

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      Toilet

  12. FredrikH
    • 12 Years

    Shaw -> Pereira to guarantee 3 starters or keep the balls of steel equipped?

    1. Khark
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Balls of steel.

      Risk takers prosper.

      Do or Die

      He who dares wins

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 8 Years

        Shaw = Deus Ex Machina

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Do it, it's a good move regardless

      1. FredrikH
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Takes away a lot of flexability next GW. 2FT is comforting with Kane/Auba/Lukaku etc lurking.

      Leicester were lucky not be under til halvtime against Wolves. Mouthino and Jimenez both hit the post befor Dohertys own goal, in 29. Min.
      I Wonder why all the sudden now, Shaw is marked yellow. Everyone could see him getting a knock, befor Lukaku goal.

        Would you rather S.Cook and save the 0.4? Better fixtures on top.

          I have Shaw to. Pereira looks very attacking mindre. Could be good. But im keeping Shaw. If any other news come up, im getting Alonso.

    Am I the only one looking to captain mane over Salah?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Not only but definitely the minority

  18. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If I pull trigger with 2ft this team this weekend...(Alonso and Kamara in for Shaw King)
    Foster
    Alonso Mendy Robertson Tomkins
    Salah(C) Mane Richarlison Bilva
    Aguero(V) Arno
    Fab Kamara Stephens AWB
    Looks ok?

  19. Boomerang V

    Thoughts about this 3-5-2 WC team:

    Hennesey - Hamer
    Mendy - Robbo - Alonso - Duffy - AWB
    Salah - Mane - Dilva - Richarlison - Fraser
    Aguero - Wilson - Kamara

    tks

    1. Shineonme
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mhki instead of bsilva

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        It says dilva not bilva.

    2. Shineonme
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dilva sorry. Think dsilva will.be benched this week away to wolves

    3. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good, not sure on Dilva and goalkeepers

    4. Boomerang V
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      OK, I did Dilva to Mhki and Kamara to Ings.

      Thanks

  20. Shineonme

    Mhki and Aguero rising tonight. Eriksen is dropping.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Glad I made the transfers i did and they definetly made my team better

  21. Bonus magnet
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    The stars aligning themselves perfectly for a Joshua King hatrick

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      And Aguero to be benched, Sanchez to start and score. Would be the biggest fail of a week ever for me if it that happened.

    2. DeathoftheParty

      Might happen in your dreams.. one goal could be..

    4. Chilli Heatwave

      Told myself that last week

    5. Dynamic Duos
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hope so mate , I do think bed will get some decent points , but just a goal would be nice

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Bed hahaha, he*

        1. Bonus magnet
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Go and score some points in bed hahahahaha

  22. F_Ivanovic
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Should I be worried about my bench this week? I only have Boly who could come off the bench.

    Robertson - Mendy - Smith
    Richarlison - Salah - Mhki - Bilva
    Aguero - Firmino - Mitrovic

    So if 1 or more of these somehow don't play I'm in trouble. Heard last year how Klopp rotated both full backs GW3 so worried already about Robertson.

    1. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Think they'll all get gametime

  23. Relegation6pointer
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    After a dire start to the season , in need of some advice. All suggestions welcome! Team is:
    Kepa
    Mendy Coleman Bertrand Daniels
    Salah(c) Mane Mkhi Bilva
    Firmino Ings
    Subs; Speroni Neves Kamara WBa

    0 FT 3.9itb
    Thinking Bertrand/Coleman to Alonso for -4 hit?

    1. FantasyFootballMad
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      How have you had a dire start? You have 5 of the best 15 over the first two weeks... can’t be that bad. That said I’d lose Bertrand as first option if you want to make the sub. Alonso or PVA good options. You really should think about improving Kamara for someone like Mitro/Tosen/zaha given their form/fixtures and amount of money you have. Maybe for next week

      1. Relegation6pointer
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No Augero last week sent me tumbling

        1. Relegation6pointer
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Already transferred Mkhi in this week.
          Think 3 options now;
          1) Bertrand to Alonso/PVA (-4)
          2) Kamara to Zaha/Mitro (-4)
          3) Wait til next week and do one of the above on a FT??

  25. SADIO SANÉ
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    soz, one more... Lacazette & Zaha or Aubameyang & Ings

    I have a feeling Lacazette plays centrally against non-top6 teams, but I could easily be wrong (1-pointer time)

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      But has more potential I feel.

    Well now I am set for next GW:

    Hamer
    Alonso; Robertson; Mendy
    Mane; Salah; Rich; Mkhi; Pedro
    Kun; King

    Patricio; Kamara; Peltier; Bissaka

    This is strong?

        Yes, monitoring both Ings and Mitrovic as alternatives
