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

Just the 3 for me.

Interesting no Jesus/Aguero.

Tauriel

3 here.

manual_man

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

ScummyMan

That's a poor looking team imo

Cookie_Dough

Yep only 3 here too...

Mike Ehrmantraut

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

Rikand

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.

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

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.

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

3 – same as last week for me.

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.

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