Our regular catch up with the best advice from some of the community’s top FPL managers of all time continues with the return of Meet the Manager. Yes, we will focus on those with an incredible rank history but we are adding to that by including managers with an interesting story to tell about how FPL is impacting on their lives. We’ll also focus on managers who are offering a unique insight and research into the game – to propel them and hopefully us up the rankings. Our latest video is no exception with sports psychologist Ross Dowsett joining Joe to chat about his latest book on FPL and psychology, called The Mind Game. How can psychology help FPL managers to succeed? What biases are preventing us from a stellar finish? And why is the time of day we make a transfer so important? Ross (@FPL_Raptor) also reveals his Gameweek 1 team for the 2021/22 season and how psychology has driven his decisions.  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Joe and Seb take stock of a season like no other for Fantasy Premier League managers. After 38 Gameweeks the Covid-19 ravaged 2020/21 campaign is finally over. The health crisis has severely impacted on the schedule and player availability. FPL managers saw the first triple Gameweek in more than a decade. For much of the season they had to endure a slow drip feed of matches over several days to ensure more fixtures can be televised. The lack of fans also played its part, with traditional home and away form often consigned to the bin. While tough to navigate, it has had significant highs to couple with the lows. Trusted heavy hitters, such as Harry Kane (£11.9m) and Mohammed Salah (£12.9m) often delivered when selected as captain. There was also a wealth of budget options, with Leeds’ promoted players among the stars. In this final Scoutcast episode of the campaign Joe and Seb review their own performance amid the season’s chaos, consider wider lessons to learn for all managers as well as answer the commu

Joe and Seb are joined by Karam look at the key issues facing Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Gameweek 38. It’s been a tough year, with the Covid-19 pandemic impacting on all walks of life. Top flight football has been no exception, with fans unable to attend matches for much of the campaign and players forced to isolate for periods. The season has been tough for FPL managers to navigate. But it has also provided a welcome distraction for many. Now, after 38 long, arduous weeks the final set of fixtures is here and Joe, Karam and Seb are on hand to guide viewers and listeners over the last hurdle. The Scoutcast crew take in the prospects for teams with something to play for, most notably a seat among Europe’s elite in the Champions League. Winning is vital and lots of goals will be needed for the likes of top captaincy candidate Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) and the rest of his Liverpool team mates. For other teams there is still pride to play for, as well as some extra cash for final league placings.

Joe and Seb look at the key issues facing Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Gameweek 37. The remaining two Gameweeks are special, with home fans returning to grounds across the Premier League. But can their return help their teams achieve season run in glory, or prove a hindrance? Armed with the FFScout members area’s comparison tools, Joe and Seb look to find out how a crowd alters teams play, to see if FPL managers can get an advantage at the tail end of the campaign. Could it be that players are keener to shoot from distance with the roar of the crowd to encourage them? Joe and Seb's research looks at where home strikers shoot from and why Everton, in particularly, are in desparate need of the Goodison faithful. A common theme over the latter part of the season has been the emergence of strong mid-priced midfielders. Jesse Lingard (£6.6m) and Diogo Jota (£6.9m) had been leading this charge. But with form and injury denting their appeal respectively, the Scoutcast crew look at the new guard of va

This week Sam is joined by FPL Nymfria to look back on Triple Gameweek 35 and ahead to Blank Gameweek 36. Sam and Nym recorded this ahead of the final 2 matches of Gameweek 36 between Aston Villa and Everton, and Man United and Liverpool.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe and Seb are joined by Ben Crabtree to look at the key issues facing Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Gameweek 36. There are just three Gameweeks left of this tricky, pandemic-hit campaign so each transfer and captaincy decision needs to be carefully planned around those remaining fixtures. There is also the challenge of navigating Blank Gameweek 36, when Chelsea, Arsenal, Leicester and Manchester United players miss out due to FA Cup scheduling. Luckily, Joe and Seb are joined by former FPL winner Ben to look at the teams and players to spend those final, precious transfers on. Our trio break down the season run into the top assets by position, with West Ham, Leeds, Liverpool and Everton assets dominating their chat. Targeting relegated Sheffield United’s porous defence and blunt attack is another key theme to emerge. For goalkeepers, there is plenty of advice for those like Joe, who have two non-playing shot stoppers going into Gameweek 36. Is it worth a transfer to replace the likes of Che
