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.

        Pogba's absence was felt today

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          David Silva's absence was felt more

      • Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        With Valencia potentially rested against Swans and Gibson having tough game which is the best defender upgrade:

        A - Gibson > Blind
        B - Gibson > Yoshida
        C - Other?

        Pickford - Heaton
        Valencia - Gibson - McAuley - Mawson - Amat

        1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Gibson to Yosh.

          1. Jet5605
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

      • Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

      • Petr Cech the Table

          10 seconds later

      • Syd.

        8 years, 7 months ago

        United breaking all sorts of records tonight 😎

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          No mate. They were fantastic. Something like defending well and being pragmatic. That's what the most expensive squad in world football buys you.

          1. Somalion
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Finally you're getting it

            1. Davido989
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Just waiting for the fish.

          2. KingNidge
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            You've taken this badly mate 🙂

          3. Syd.
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            You have to laugh.... They complain and bitch like hell when other teams show no ambition in a game and when they do it they claim it is a tactical masterclass

            1. KingNidge
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              The only bitching has been over our failure to take our chances against those deep sitting teams.. that should be your concern too

              1. Somalion
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Why focus on how your team, with the lion's share of possession and some incredibly talented players couldn't manage a paltry goal 😉

          4. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            With the greatest respect Berbs in past decades it was Liverpool who were the money club and just bought whoever they wanted at any price.

      • F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Rashford TC got 9 points 😆 My ml leader was making fun of me when Kun got 27 😛

        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Negredo > Gabi
        Coutinho > Sane (dont fancy Pool)

        Or

      • FFPro

          DDG + Bailly here

      • dhamphiir
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        On WC, which combo player will be best 3rd striker and 5th midfield till end of season?
        A. Anichebe + King
        B. Gabbi + Fletcher or Capoue

        Amazing gw

      • Rover
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Another WC35 draft. BB36 and TC37 planned. Thoughts please.

        Cech / Pickford
        Bailly / Rose / Daniels / Yoshida / Maguire
        Sanchez / Hazard / Alli / Firmino / King
        Kane / Gabbi / Benteke

        1. Crow
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Nice. I think one more city and you're set

          1. Rover
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks! I'll either do Benteke > Jesus or King > Sane in 37 depending on their lineups over the next two weeks. Today didn't really help in deciphering Pep's thinking. Although Jesus was indeed influential in the few minutes that he played.

      • Crow
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Pickford-Valdes

        Vertonghen-Valencia-Ranocchia-(Stephens-Bernardo*)

        Sanchez-Alli-Hazard-Coutinho-King

        Lukaku-Kane-(Gestede)

        Here's the plan:
        Lukaku&Bernardo > Jesus&Kompany

        Yay or nay?

      • Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Valencia owners, u selling or keeping ?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Stuck for Swansea. Banished after.

        2. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Thinking of selling > Blind to fund Tadic > Hazard

        3. Crow
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Why would anyone sell?

        4. GE
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Keeping because no WC left

        5. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Keep for Swansea, bin on WC

      • Chucky
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No United defenders... GW fail....

      • GE
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Gtg or do Siggy -> Sane (-4)? Or something else?

        (0 FT, 5.2 itb - no WC left, Bench boost in GW37)

        Heaton (Jaku)
        Valencia/Baines/Robertson (Gibson, Chambers)
        Sanchez/Alli/Tadic/Towsend (Siggy)
        Kane/Benteke/Gabbiadini
