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.

You can view the full version via the second player below, or drown in the sound of the edited audio version via this link or the first player.

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

    Good morning from lovely Sydney, how am i looking for this weekend? (Used WC GW32)

    Mingolet (Darlow)
    Sahko - Dann - Morgan (Bellerin - Rojo)
    Payet - Sanchez - Bolasie - Lennon (Ozil)
    Wickham - Kun - Lukaku (C)

    Would you change the starting 11?

        Which are the question marks besides Rojo and Wickham? I think Wickham will come good and was a punt as i am chasing. Rojo may end in tears though.

    Here's my WC team, sensible with GW35 availability and trying to minimize poor players. :

    Robles Cech
    Clichy Delaney Simpson Bellerin Sakho
    Alli Sanchez Payet Cout Mahrez
    Kun Luk Martial

                Aguero is enough but it's always good to have a backup plan, you never know.

      See my post above - this is almost exactly my team (only difference is Bells not Monreal).

      Where you have gone Sakho/Clichy, I am undecided on any 2 from Sakho/Lovren/Clyne/Clichy

      The podcast convinced me to ditch Martial for Mitrovic and the whole team has benefited from the extra cash

        You must have a better team value than me, not sure where I missed out there, I must have one of the lowest TV in the top 1000 🙁 I reckon we're onto a good team though, however keepers will obviously be a problem after the DGW.

          Top 1k - impressive. I'm currently about 80k - aiming for top 1%, so 37k. Hopefully this team should do it,

          I'm not sure what to do for 35. Was thinking about DDG/Luk to Darlow/Kane, but those 2 double in 37 so that might not be the best option.

          If I don't get Kane, Delaney will definitely go with Robles for 2 cheap SGW35+DGW37

    After much tinkering, I keep coming back to this:

    Robles // Mignolet
    Sakho // Delaney // Bellerin // Gabriel // Smalling
    Coutinho // Payet / Sanchez // De Bruyne // Lanzini
    Mitrovic // Aguero // Lukaku

    BB GW34

    Now, do I play Mitrovic or Lanzini for GW33? Smalling and Gabriel already benched.

      Somebody posted recently that Kompany may ply next Tuesday in the CL. Meaning Mangala could be in trouble for the double.

      No you can't. A wildcard is classed as a chip, just like AAC, BB and TC.

      On the contrary, selling Hennessey on my WC was the most liberating feeling ever. Even if it was just for Darlow.
