FFS Scout picks for GW1

I have 6, same as last season, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing

Scorpion Sting · 11-08-2017 1:59pm

Just the 3 for me.

11-08-2017 2:00pm

Interesting no Jesus/Aguero.

Tauriel · 11-08-2017 2:01pm

3 here.

manual_man · 11-08-2017 2:38pm

4 + 1 bench - how dare they not start PVA :pac:

ScummyMan · 11-08-2017 2:42pm

That's a poor looking team imo

Cookie_Dough · 11-08-2017 3:13pm

Yep only 3 here too...

Mike Ehrmantraut · 11-08-2017 6:20pm

5+1 here, surprised they didn't include Aguero or Jesus

Rikand · 11-08-2017 6:35pm

4+1

Scout picks are for one week only and not for 3 or so weeks. Pickford is a good pick this week but not after for instance.

Team is ok I think.

Shanotheslayer · 12-08-2017 11:07am

4 + 1

They were a mixed bag especially the bench !

2+1 this week. Usually points to a good week

Markx · 18-08-2017 5:35pm

Assuming Lukaku captaincy, that's 63 last week leaving The Scout around 1.4 million after week 1. Not. So. Impressive.

Their GW1 team would have got 63 points.

The fallacy of the scout picks is that they essentially wildcard every week. There is only 3 players 'retained' from last week.

Oops you are right. Still not great. Yeah with the amount of attention they get I'd expect them to get much higher scores then they do seeing as it's a weekly wildcard.

Shanotheslayer · 18-08-2017 6:30pm

2+1 on my team

In weekly wildcard blog 3+1

Iused2likebusts · 18-08-2017 9:39pm

They have a lower budget though.

They also don't stick to the regulation squad structure. They have 1 sub from each position. 4 Fwds in squad this week.

Scorpion Sting · 18-08-2017 10:16pm

3 – same as last week for me.

Paully D · 18-08-2017 10:18pm

I don't think there's much value in the Scout Picks any more, due to reasons pointed out already in the thread.

Personally found them much more useful years ago before the above and before they started getting far too many opinions each week.

You mean Andy on the ScoutCast? I don't think he has any say in the Scout Picks.

He has an account on Boards you know.

He'll probably come online later and tell you off for that!

Only if I tip him off on Twitter!

Week 2 score of 23 assuming Lukaku captain giving a season total of 86. Approx 2.8 million rank.

Scorpion Sting · 25-08-2017 5:35pm

1 + 1 on the bench for me. If their recent poor trend continues I'd be happy enough with that but I reckon Kane will do well anyway and it looks much better than last week's offering.
