The ScoutCast – Episode 190 – Chippy

After a turbulent six days which dragged us through a series of emotional highs and lows, it’s fair to say that the ScoutCast team came out of Gameweek 34 with smiles and spirits intact.

I’m joined by Jonty, Andy and Luke, just as the curtain fell on the most remarkable Gameweeks. Having laid down Wildcards and hopeful Bench Boost chips, we emerged unanimous in our praise for what proved a thrilling season highlight, whilst also adamant that the chips have revived the campaign climax.

That’s not to say that there weren’t some lessons learned: via another bout of questions from you, the community, we dissect Gameweek 34 and assess the twists and turns and decide whether we would do things differently next time around.

We also take time to look ahead, not just to this weekend’s curtailed fixture programme but also to Gameweek 37’s double fixtures – another opportunity for chips to come into play.

The ScoutCast is first aired live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get a heads up on future broadcasts.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    It is weird being British in America and looking at the fixtures and thinking 'I ain't waking up for that...'

    Mignolet
    Bellerin,Gabriel,Kirchhoff
    Sanchez,KDB,Firmino,Alli
    Aguero,Kane(c)Pelle

    1. FudgyBadger

      That's a pretty good team 😮

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        -12 to get it though.
        Coleman,Coutinho,Martial,Mitrovic > Kirchhoff,Alli,Kane,Pelle

        My ML leader took a big hit too so that gave me room to take the extra hit. Mitrovic > Pelle.

  8. zizoo10

    G2G, or take a hit?

    ............................Darlow
    Rose • Clyne • Sakho • Gabriel • Simpson
    .............Coutinho • Ozil • Sanchez

    Robles* - Martial* - Payet* - Lanzini*

    1. FudgyBadger
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Gabriel to PVA?

      1. zizoo10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        gab will start. better suited vs defore/borini.

        wenger isn't playing fpl to start mert SIMPLY because he kept a cs, as most here suggest.

        makes me giggle

    2. ARKANOIIDE
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      (C) Kun thank me later.

      1. BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        How many minutes will he get though?

        1. ARKANOIIDE
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          It doesnt matter. Its Kun.

          1. FudgyBadger
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            And Kanes Kane

      2. FudgyBadger
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Why? He might only play 60, or maybe not even start..

        1. ARKANOIIDE
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Sell him then

          1. FudgyBadger
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            I'll sell Bellerin too because he's never in contention to be my captain either!

          2. zizoo10
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            kun has used up all his goals for the fortnight 😀
            due a blank

      3. zizoo10

    Thanks Tina for sh!tting on my hopes and dreams. 😉

  10. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Stoke has conceded 11 goals in last 4. Maybe Kun for armband after all 😐

    1. ARKANOIIDE
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      shhhhh

    2. FudgyBadger
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I'm no football expert, but if there's one thing I know about Mark Hughes sides, they always bounce back, stronger and more resilient than ever!!!

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        but with Kun there is this gametime issue and Mardrid away on tuesday.

        1. ARKANOIIDE
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          Sell

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            Yes. In gw37

        2. FudgyBadger
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 months ago

          The only reason I'm not captaining him is because the majority are doing Kane, and all season I've got against the majority and here I sit in 43k, so this time I'm going with the majority! 😀

          1. ARKANOIIDE
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 12 months ago

            well its your choice, youre an adult, making choices etc

  11. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Chances of this bunch starting?

    a. clyne
    b Gabriel
    c. coutinho
    d. firmino
    e. mitrovic

    1. ARKANOIIDE
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Im RIPping your team 😀

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

        Thx, means a lot

  12. BB-8
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Which move to make for a -8 in case KDB is on the bench. Any move would have to be done after lineups and before the deadline.
    A. KDB + Mitro -> Firmino + Pelle
    B. KBD + Mitro -> Alli + Sturridge

  13. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Hows this for a -8?

    Mitrovic + Martial + Smalling ----> Kane + Defoe + PVA

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Helpful in setting up for the DGW but you have to expect nothing from PVA and Defoe against the Arse really.

  14. DGWjegy

      • 8 Years

    Robles Darlow
    Bellerin Gabriel Lovren Simpson Smalling
    Sanchez Coutinho KDB Lingard Payet
    Aguero Mitrovic Martial

    1FT
    Martial & KDB > Kane & Alli -4?
    or something else?

  17. Ravager
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    GW35 Line Up

    Darlow (Robles)
    Simpson Sakho Rose (Gabriel, Fosu-Mensah)
    Mahrez Sanchez Coutinho Alli (Payet)
    Aguero Kane (c) Defoe

    G2G? Not sure who to bench between Gabriel/Sahko

  18. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Dp we think Gabriel will come back in today or is it worth a - 4pts to bring in Rose and ensure I have 10 starters this week?

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      No idea at all. I'm keeping him at the moment.

  19. Adebayor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Anyone thinking of using triple captain not in GW37? I may do tc this week with Aguero

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      I'm still going to do it in GW37.

      As for this week, if you were going to do someone it would surely have to be Kane. He'll play 90 and is fighting for the title.

      Aguero is a great captaincy (not triple) option too but I fear for his minutes with one eye on the Madrid game on Tuesday

  20. juicewagz
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Best 5.0 or less defender for this week for Delaney -4?

    Some options are:

    A) W. Morgan
    B) Huth
    C) Van Aanholt
    D) Danny Simpson
    E)

    1. juicewagz
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      E* Daniels

    2. super zlatan

      D

  21. juicewagz
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 months ago

    Coutinho to Alli -4?

    1. TheOneAndOnly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      considering the same, whats the general consensus around these parts?

    2. TheOneAndOnly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 months ago

      Well lads, already did a -4 to do Lukaku+Darmian>Kane+Simpson...

      ...is it worth doing another hit to change anything? Probable won't all start

      Mignolet
      Bellerin - Mangala - Gabriel - Simpson
      Sanchez - Coutihno - Milner- Mahrez
      Aguero - Kane

      Robles; Martial - Delaney - Payet

      1.1m in the bank

      1. TheOneAndOnly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 12 months ago

    Darlow
    Sakho Clyne Mangala
    Ozil Sanchez KDB Fimino Alli
    Aguero Wellbeck

    (robles,ward,fosu-mensah,rashford)

    1. super zlatan

      Stick

        Yeah, think you're right. Just looked and both my ML rivals have taken a -8. Thanks for taking the time to give me an opinion.

    Any Liverpool team news?

  25. 50 Shades Oshea
    • 10 Years

    any 36 WC? How's your team looking? Currently got 12, but tempted to hold bellerin, Sanchez and Kane.
