The ScoutCast – Episode 223 – Comedown

3,715 Comments

Gradually weaned off our double fixture helping and returned to normality, the ScoutCast team take time out to pick through the wreckage of Gameweek 34, before we set our sights firmly on what lies ahead.

Wildcards and Bench Boost chips lodged up their end of season sleeves, Jonty, Andy and Luke join me to embrace another round of community questions.

With the rebuilding programme imminent, we take a look at those shot-term punts who can do a job in Gameweek 35, before weighing up single fixture assets who can possibly hold their own amid the forthcoming circus of Gameweek 37.

And, of course, we carry out our weekly appraisal of Alexis Sanchez, as the Chilean hints at a return form just as an irresistable Eden Hazard closes in.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Monday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    Is KDB captain crazy? There is no stand out option this week, good times for a differential cap.

    De Gea
    Bailly - Davies - Stones
    Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - Zaha
    Kane - Rashford - Lukaku
    (Pickford - De Roon - Yoshida - Barragan)

    2.2 ITB 1 FT

    I'm thinking if doing for a hit:
    Rashford --> Gabbiadini
    Lukaku --> Costa

    Thought on this?

        I'd prefer Benteke but can't afford him unless it's for Lukaku. So essentially it's Lukaku and Gabbiadini or Negredo and Benteke.

    With only 3 points covering 9th (Southampton) in the table to 15th (Leicester 37) in the table are we sure that for at least the next 2 weeks those mid-table teams will be quite as "on the beach" as in previous years. A jump from 15th to 9th still gives something to play for in my view, but then again I'm not a Premiership footballer.

      And they're professionals. I think that the impact of "midtable teams have nothing to play for" is a bit overestimated.

    In many ways last night's result was perfect for FPL. It keeps that 3rd/4th spot battle for CL very much alive and ensures less R&R for any of the top players as the season comes to an end. Hopefully down to the wire.

        It's still tough to call but it's better than it might have been. Both teams have fringe players like Fosu Mensah and Delph who will, hopefully, be kept out of the frame...they're the ones that can really complicate matters with nothing to play for.
