The ScoutCast – Episode 188 – Braced

Strap yourself in for another bumper, Wildcard-powered ScoutCast. On the cusp of double Gameweeks, with multiple chips on standby, we’re braced for the big turning point in our seasons.

The expectation and excitement is palpable as Jonty and Andy drop in to review Gameweek 32, before feasting on a smorgasbord of questions served up by you, the community.

We tackle the Leicester/Spurs exit plans, consider Sanchez vs Ozil, contemplate selling the imperious Payet and run the rule over double Gameweek strikers. We pack that and more into 75-minutes, reserving energies for further double Gameweek casts to come.

This episode was first aired live on our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to get news of future live casts.

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

      Is that a wildcard? Great team... Although no Liverpool? Best fixtures between now and the end of the season, good form, and Countinho/Firmino both well priced.

      1. thedesolateone
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        he has Coutinho & Sakho!

    Do we think Toby will drop tonight ?

  5. Mayo for Sam
    • 8 Years

    Pick two to bench this GW

    A. Forster
    B. Hennesy

    1. Mahrez
    2. Ozil
    3. Payet

    stupid question. can you BB and TC same week?

    1. Samurai Blue
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Nor WC, can t use 2 in same week

  7. Ameobiwankenobi
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    is the consensus that we use BB instead of TC in 34??

    To maximize the wildcard , getting in as many DGW players as possible?

    I was going to TC sanchez but it seems BB makes the most of the wildcard. Ill prob TC in the later DGW

    1. thedesolateone
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      yes, that's what most people seem to be doing

  8. Dr Kenneth Noisewater

    The KDB permutations:

    1) Robles / Clyne - Janmaat / KDB / Martial
    2) DDG / Jagielka - Sakho / KDB / Mitrovic

    KDB-less ventures

    A) DDG / Gabriel - Dawson / Firmino / Martial
    B) Robles / Koscielny - Janmaat / Firmino / Martial

    KDB or no? Utd defense or United attack?

  9. Cornholi0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Would you play Mitrovic (southampton) or Ivanovic (swansea)

    1. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mitrovic.

  10. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What about this one? (Lacks Bellerin). Robles to Darlow in 35

    DDG--Robles
    Ottamendi--Sakho--Gabriel--Simpson--Janmatt
    Coutinho--Payet--Sanchez--Lennon--Mahrez
    --Kun--Martial--Lukaku--

    1. Cornholi0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Strooong!

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not keen on Lennon and Ota too expensive. Reinvest.

  11. Doolittle
    • 11 Years

    Morning all. A few details to finalise on the WC today, any thoughts would be great.

    A) Mignolet, Bellerin, KDB and Mitrovic
    B) De Gea, Bellerin, Firmino and Martial
    C) Darlow, Monreal, Firmino and Kane

    Rest of the team:

    Robles
    Smalling/Sakho/Gabriel/Simpson
    Sanchez/Coutinho/Payet/Lanzini
    Aguero/Lukaku

    Which to keep from Jagielka , Funes Mori and Stones??

    1. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Jagielka

      1. thedesolateone
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        +1

  13. Latko Zahovic
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hmmm...

    Sanchez + Barkley + Wickham
    or
    Iwobi + Lennon + Aguero

    ?

    1. Loser@FPL
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B
      (Aguero vs Wickham??)

  14. r0scr0w
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Would really appreciate your preference for the below choices.

    A. Darmian, Sakho, Lennon, Ozil, Martial

    B. Bellerin, Moreno, Lennon, KDB, Mitrovic

    C. Darmian, Sakho, Lanzini, KDB, Martial.

  15. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    A) Robles and Darlow
    B) Mignolet and Darlow

    Which one and why?

    Thanks

    After about 25 different drafts here what I feel settled on.

    Migs/Robles
    Darmian, Moreno, Bellerin, Ward, Gabriel
    Payet, Sanchez, Coutinho, Mahrez, Lingard
    Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

    Damian is a risk but he should be involved somewhere in DGW. Holding Mahrez and Kane allows me to keep a looking side and also play XI for 35 by moving Darmian out for PvA and Ward out for Simpson.

    Reckon I could get to 8/9 for 37 doubles.

    Any thoughts????

    1. Oh Dear
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Same as your thoughts really - solid front 8, worried about rotation in def... Any funds for Moreno > Lovren?

      1. Sparkos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Just feels wrong to dismantle my team completely on a few pints. I'd like bolasie this week but being lumbered with him after that makes no sense.

        Think I'm short on Lovren by 0.1

        1. Sparkos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Punts not pints!!!

        2. Oh Dear
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I'd leave it if I were you. All wc's will be imperfect this week and going into GW34...

  17. Beautiful Game
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Which transfers will you be willing to do for a hit? These trades will be made in Gw34 not this gw..

    A) Deeney -> Mitrovic (-4)
    B) Bolasie -> Lanzini (-4)
    C) Barkley -> iwobi (-4)
    D) Olsson(WBA) -> Dawson /Rojo (-4)

    Hi guys, any thoughts about my WC team ?

    Robles - Foster
    Daniels - Rose - Sakho - Huth - Gabriel
    Sanchez - Marhez - Payet - Bolasie - Alli
    Kane - Aguero - Lukaku

  19. Oh Dear
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Going slightly mad here with continuous WC/BB tinkering, but I think (!) I am settled on the following, unless you tell me otherwise...

    Mignolet / Robles
    Bellerin / Gabriel / Lovren / Jagielka / Simpson
    Sanchez / KDB / Payet / Firmino / Lingard
    Aguero / Lukaku / Mitrovic

    0.0 ITB

    14 DGWers in GW34, 10 playing in GW35 without FTs.

    Payet Headache....

    A) Lanzini + KDB
    B) Payet + Bolasie

    1. thedesolateone
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I am trying everything to get both Payet + KDB

  21. nkhoughton
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Robles Schmeichel Smalling
    Robles DDG 6.1M Thoughts?

  22. thedesolateone
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    A - Sanchez + cheap cheap defence & GKs
    B - Iwobi + very strong defence & GKs

    Wayne Rooney has returned to training but will feature for the Under-21s first in a bid to regain fitness. #mufc

  24. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I know the keepers are rubbish but Hen has doubles and no blanks between them and I know there isn't Payet but how does this look:

    Hennessey Darlow

    Bellerin Jagielka Sakho Gabriel Simpson

    KDB Sanchez Firmino Mahrez Lanzini

    Aguero Lukaku Kane

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      It looks like it is lacking payet! Kane to martial or sturridge and mahreZ to payet.

  25. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Mignolet
    Coleman Toby Huth
    Mahrez Silva Alli Arny
    Lukaku Aguero Kane
    Subs Elliot Lingard Bellerin Azpi

    So....With 1 FT & 0.4 ITB and I've just realised Silva & Arny are out.

    Shall I go mad and do Silva & Arny > Sanchez & Lennon?

  26. Park the bus
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Start :

    Alli or Martial

    Clyne or Bellerin

    1. Srby87
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Martial and Bellerin

  27. Steirish
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Play Alli or payet

  28. Srby87
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Sagna or Kolarov?
    Sagna played GW31 and not GW32
    Kolarov played GW32 and not GW31

  29. Srby87
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Please!!!
    Play Sagna or Kolarov?

  30. Srby87
