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.

    Really on the fence if I should triple captain Lukaku, or wait for GW37. Any brilliant insight?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I fancy Costa for the GW37 TC.

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm triple captaining him this week but only because I've taken an 8 point hit (non-WCer) and got H2H's to win!) I probably wouldn't otherwise.

    3. sinik

      10 years, 4 months ago

      TC Sanchez GW38 v Villa. They'll put on a show at home on the last game of the season

  2. Jay_
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I've benched 24 points, on THREE different occasions in the last 10 gameweeks, plus benched scores of 18 and 19 in that period too. 150 points benched in the last 10 weeks and that's including 0 when I only had 11 men in gw30. That's got to be a record.

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 4 months ago

      That's why Lee Cattermole has actually been one of my best players!

      1. Jay_
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Having a high TV as a poisoned chalice, glad to have Lanzini in there now. I envy you and others with the Cattermoles and Westwoods

        1. Jay_
          10 years, 4 months ago

          *has been

  3. Rusty Nail
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Ozil vs de bruyne is so tough I really can't decide ozil is guaranteed minutes and superior fixtures although form has dipped only positive for de bruyne is goal threat but his minutes are a concern

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Sticking with Ozil this week. If KDB does well again he's in for the DGW.

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        If pellegrini hints at we bruyne bench im keeping ozil fancy arsenal to score plenty till end of season

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      KDB looks hungry to make up for lost time.
      Ozil look knackered
      I'm going KDB and hoping that overcomes Arsenal better fixtures and less congestion

  4. krishna

    Who is the most nailed on west ham defender after creswell? who gets the nod between ogbonna and Reid to start both dgw games?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Reid

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Why is Reid nailed on?

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't be bringing in any West Ham defender. Useless at keeping CS and they have the blank in 35.

      1. krishna
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        They kept out Sunderland and spurs consecutively not very long ago..also,imo can B interesting differentials ,no?

        1. F_Ivanovic
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Spurs - good CS there I guess. But last 3 games they've conceded 2 goals in each. They could get a CS in these fixtures, but they're not good enough defensively to warrant a spot that takes up a spot in 35. You'll want a United defender, Lukaku, Lanzini and/or Payet. And an Everton defender and/or midfielder given they have 4 fixtures in the next 2 GW. All these players have blanks in 35 so if you include a WH defender you won't have enough for 35.

    Vardy to drop tonight?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'd say no.

  6. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    my coworker friend doesn't overly care about FPL (first season) but he wants to beat the coworker just above him..asked if he cares about keeping Aguero and he said nope..put together this team for him in 5 minutes, he only has like 101m or so SV think he could do pretty well, still has BB, ranked like 400k:

    DDG - Darlow
    Monreal - Gabriel - Clichy - Sakho - Coleman
    Coutinho - Firmino - Sanchez - De Bruyne - Payet
    Rashford - Lukaku - Mitrovic

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be all over rashford if Rooney wasn't close to returning can see him scoring nicely in 34

    2. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Is that a 101m team?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        give or take..my SV is 106.5m and making this team leaves me 6m left over..so adjust for when I bought certain players (like Aguero) that I've sold just now in recreating on my end

        1. Rusty Nail
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Rashford does wonders for the rest of team can build an epic squad

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            yeah it's a bit of fun to take some of the risks I would never take with my own team

            1. Rusty Nail
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Double Liverpool could be golden seriously considered it myself

  7. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Repost: Another day, another WC draft.

    Robles, Darlow
    Lovren, Moreno, Gabriel, Smalling, X
    Sanchez, KDB, Coutinho, X, X
    Aguero, Lukaku, Mitrovic

    Who is X?
    a) ozil, evans and lingard
    b) payet, janmaat and iwobi

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Don't like either sorry

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Can you not stretch to Ozil, x, Lanzini?

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        i can if x is 3.9m...

      2. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        can do b with lanzini but creates an extra 35 blank to manage

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B if i had to chose, but don't like double Newcastle defense

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        wk35 could get ugly for sure with a newcastle triple up

      2. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        what about
        C Payet, jags and iwobi

  8. F_Ivanovic
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    No WC. Currently have 3 players with no DGW next week - Kane, Dier, Van Djik.

    I really don't want to go next GW without some United defence. However, I already have 4 outfielders who blank in 35 (Jags, Lukaku, Lingard, Lanzini) so getting another non-35 player would mean I will only be able to field 10 players for week 35 (also even then, seems silly to take out a player with a blank in 35 as they would have a double in 37)

    Have almost exact funds next week to do Dier + Van Djik to Smalling and Gabriel (0.1m in bank left over) - only way I can really get a nailed on United defender in my team.

  9. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    A) Barkley
    B) lennon
    C) neither

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      C

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Most are going Lennon I think. I have Barks

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      A

    4. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Going neither id take barkley

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B or C

  10. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    So double up on Arsenal defence this week or play Janmaat ahead of Gabriel?

  11. Clintymints
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Any price changes of interest this evening fellas?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      We will know in T-24 minutes

    2. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Lennon and Barkley probably

      1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        And Robles

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Ozil drop perhaps.

    4. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Thx guys. I use FPLstatistics, but not sure what the latest prediction sites are - just in case they differ

  12. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I'd love to know what Pardew is going to do with his strikers ... if i thought Wickham would start both games he'd be an incredible differential for this week!

    1. Nerazzuro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I have him so hoping he does start and get a lot of minutes and goals for the DGW!

    2. Jay_
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Was bigging up Gayle today, a lot, he sounds the most likely to play most minutes now.

    3. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      If he hadnt been injured I'd pick him don't like any of the others

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Guessing that if he thought Gayle was so good, he'd have played him more.

      1. Nerazzuro
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Pardew said he would "get some minutes" last weekend so on that snippet i took a punt on him playing both games this DGW

        1. Test Eagles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          As in Gayle?

          1. Nerazzuro
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Sorry, i meant Wickham. Was a reply fail

    5. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Thing is; Gayle's not really a CF, someone who can hold the ball while the rest get forward.
      That is Adebayor or Wickham.

    6. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      he can't start this week, can he? i seriously doubt it.

      he has been out to long, can't be match fit.

      he will be on the bench Saturday, i have to believe. and if he gets 20-25 minutes, will he be fit
      for a double next week?

  13. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Robles Darlow
    Gabriel, Jagielka, Sakho, Mangala, Simpson
    Sanchez, Payet, Coutinho, Mata, Lanzini
    Aguero, Lukaku, Kane

    Still experimenting. Defence too weak?

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'd lose mangala kompany close to return rest looks fine could lose kane and get bellerin/monreal and smalling/de gea.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Didn't realise Kompany was returning that soon. Wasn't that keen on Mangala anyway, just hard to find good picks in that price range.

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Kompany might be back for Psg second leg.

  14. C_G
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    thoughts on upcoming GWs plans?

    Robles

    VVD Simpson Delaney

    Lennon Sanchez Cout KDB

    Aguero martial Lukaku

    Bench - Darlow Payet Bellerin Sakho

    Will do Martial & Lennon----> Pelle & Iwobi for GW35, and will play 4 defenders.

  15. kalmoffit
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Why is Ighalo in so few teams?

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Coz he's rubbish now

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Out of form, out of motivation.

    3. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Out of form and Flores not happy with him (got hauled off last game).

    4. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Watford dropped of considerably but definitely could do well

    5. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Gonna go out on a limb and say it's the lack of PL goals.

    6. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He's just an Ighalo, and everywhere he goes...

      he ain't got nobodayyyyyy

  16. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    My team looks so much more balanced and future-proof without KDB. Downgrading to Payet, Lanzini, Iwobi, etc. gives so much flexibility.

    The danger is ... he could go crazy!!

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Aye, he was too expensive to fit in for me too. Could go crazy but then so could whoever we leave out.

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Mine looks perfectly fine with no Coutinho but with KdB in

      I just want them both

  17. Sanguinista
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    How does Hendo's injury affect Pool's midfield? Does Milner now drop back deep with Can so that Coutinho, Lallana and Firmino can play up front? If so, will Firmino still play in the center?

    1. GuyIncognito
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Can is suspended. I think they'll play quite a few randoms (and Joe Allen) against Stoke, Dortmund is the only priority. I'm thinking of punting on Bolasie that week with money in the bank to upgrade depending on what happens.

      1. Sanguinista
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I am doing the exact same thing, question is - how much to leave itb? 0.5 for Milner or 2-2.2 for Firmino/Coutinho?

        1. GuyIncognito
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I'm too scared of Firmino to not have that option.

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It's not good, probably and probably.

  18. SPFC
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    GTG my WC?

    Robles Foster
    Gabriel Smalling Otamendi Sakho Cresswell
    KDB Sanchez Bolasie Lennon Iwobi
    Kun Lukaku Mitrovic

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Midfield too weak

    2. GuyIncognito
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Too much investment in the rear, avoid the Kim Kardashian formation.

    3. QGOONER
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Smalling and Otamendi are overpriced for their respective outputs imo

      1. How's Your Gowl
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Agree with this. I want Smalling but I'd probably end up leaving him out GW33 and he blanks in GW35 of course. Not worth it in my opinion. Otamendi might be worth a punt, but there's whispers of Kompany being rushed back...

        1. QGOONER
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          They're both definitely nailed on... Their outputs are simply not good enough for their price (i.e. low BPS, goals, assists, etc.)

    4. How's Your Gowl
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Lanzini over Iwobi.

  19. Scheister
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Play Bellerin or Lovren this week?

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Bellerin

  20. C_G
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Lennon or Iwobi?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Lennon for the games

    2. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Lennon more reliable in terms of minutes

  21. cookcityfc
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    A) Kane, Barkley, Clichy

    Or

    B)Mitrovic, KDB, Otamendi

    Thanks

  22. Swan - Villa Proud
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Play Moreno or Smalling this week!

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Tough one probably Moreno but close

  23. tangwft
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    TC

    a) Lukaku GW 33
    b) Sanchez GW 34
    c) Payet GW 37
    d) Sturridge GW37

    I currently dont have Sturridge, if tc him i will be able to work my way to get him in later.

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm think c or d

    2. cookcityfc
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez

    3. tangwft
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      im going for a or c,

      not sure if sturridge will get rested

    4. Shearer & Sutton
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm going for c.

    5. tokara
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      stu and orig will share time

  24. Jay_
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Ozil dropped again

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      So my reason for keeping him in that I had him from the start with a heap of value tied up is waning as I approach the deadline to complete my WC.....would open doors downgrading but think I'm gunna stick fat

  25. CunkOnFPL
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    DDG, Darlow
    Bell, Delaney, Gabriel, Jagielka, Sakho
    Cout/Firmino, KDB, Lanzini, Lennon
    Kun, Lukaku, Martial

    thoughts on this wild thing?

  26. Lizard Lips
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Any one going Gabriel and dropping Bellerin??

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 10 Years

      Have both atm but likely to drop bellers in order to afford some other folk

      I'm pretty bitter with Bellerin since I sold him 3 weeks ago after having for months 😐

        Same got 3 assists in 2 games lol was sickening but I quickly rectified it. Hope the Leicester and Spurs lads don't punish me

      yep, with KDB Alexis Payet Martial and some United cover (dont like it but Darmian is the cheapest, so-so safe route), there is no money left for Bellerin

    One of my casual rival havent touched his team for a long time

    Guy gave me his ID so i built this team for him for TV of only 98.2. Not bad huh ?

    Robles Hennessey
    Smalling Koscielny Gabriel Sakho Delaney
    Sanchez KDB Lanzini Barkley Bolasie
    Lukaku Martial Mitrovic

    Now watch him rise up the table to the surprise of other rivals. 😉 (btw im leading ml and he's not a threat to me since hes way below me)

      Glad I did Siggy to Firmino last night. And held off on Gabriel - felt that the wildcard would be affecting Gabriel's score
