Have we fallen hook, line and sinker? After taking a beating by a cast of talent sacrificed in our Gameweek 33 Wildcards, it certainly feels we’ve obliviously wandered over a trapdoor and slammed back down to earth.

We’re back up to full strength in the ScoutCast as Jonty, Andy and Luke join me to compare the bruises inflicted by our Gameweek 33 refresh. We endevour to remain optimistic, clinging to the hope that the Gameweek 34 bench boost chip will deliver and help us balm the damage from a disastrous weekend.

Judging by the line of questioning from the community, we’re not the only ones smarting. The four of us pick through your bout of queries, before looking ahead the weekend and the Gameweek that could yet revive our seasons.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get a heads up on future broadcasts.

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

  1. Magic but Tragic
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    -12Point drop for 11 Potential DGW'S worth it?

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I have. Including getting rid of Lukaku and bringing Vardy back in!

      1. Magic but Tragic
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        yeah I'm dropping Lukaku also

  2. Nerazzuro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Lennon & Bolasie -> Milner & Nasri best move now that Liverpool through in Europa?

    Was going to do Bolasie -> Firmino

  3. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Fuq it im not getting any lpool midfielder and getting Nasri instead.
    Will benefit in 35 too

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Will he play both games in 34?

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Confident he'll start on the left both times

  4. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Already have Lanzini and 3 Arsenal. Townsend the best option for Lennon? 5.9m budget.

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      or Lingard

      1. YoungPretender
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Hmmm, I like that Townsend has a 35 fixture, especially given I'm using a transfer I wanted to save for 35

  5. Viper
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Darmian & Bolasie -> Fosu Mensah & Milner -4

    It allows Lukaku -> Kane in gwk 35. Due to the funds it gives me to do that move in gwk 35, it's worth the risk on Fosu Mensah.

    Good to go?

    1. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Liverpool assets just became more bleh for 35

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Milner doesn't need a rest 😉

  6. Sjaugen
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Lanzini in the danger zone of rising. Just pull the transfer trigger? (Bolaise)

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      yes I did last night just to be careful

  7. TheShinKicker
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Have a feeling this could be my reaction after shipping out Trollkaku this week

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYmOqPFyJPw

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I lv done trollkaku -> martial and v happy about it

  8. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Who do you think will score more goals in the DGW?

    A) Rashford

    B) Lukaku

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      A

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Mind says luk, heart says rash

    3. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      A)

    4. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Rashford will score a hat trick v Villa and 1 v palace
      Lukaku will score 1 + 1

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Any goals or assists for Martial?

        1. XABI 15
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          1 goal and 2 assists v Villa + 1 assist v Palace

          1. KingOllie
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 day ago

            Bookmarked

          2. Greenbackbøøg…
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 day ago

            I like those numbers

    5. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Lukaku trolls me....just dropped him for Rashford....so expect Lukaku to haul now!

    6. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      C. Rooney (if he starts but a little difficult)

      Answer A

  9. JoJoRed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Smalling captain. Inspired or no?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Due to his lack of goals & bps I'd say no.

      He does have a great chance of 12 points though.

      I believe Sanchez has a much higher ceiling than that

      1. JoJoRed
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks.
        Sanchez the safer option

  10. Viper
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Why is everyone obsessed with Nasri all of a sudden?

    Why are people suddenly confident of his gametime??

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      No champions league + Pelle comments

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        What did Pelle say?

        Thanks

    2. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Cant play in champs league.
      Scored at the weekend.
      Sterling injured.
      Kdb/silva's minutes will be limited

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers

    3. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Injuries to others and he isn't in CL squad so less of a rotation risk

    4. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      It's the dye job

  11. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    With Mangala and Darmian stinking my defence, would you take a minus 4 to bring in Smalli and fosu?

    Also, Lanzini appears to be the fantasy scout option for those replacing Lennon?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      What's Mangala done wrong?

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Kompany returning

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          Mangala definitely the one to get the chop?

  12. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    This isn't as mad as I originally thought

    Lukaku, Barkley, Bolasie > Sturridge, Milner, Nasri

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      for -4

    2. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Id do it...

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Everton HAVE to improve though, don't they?

        1. KingOllie
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          They really dont. Martinez just cares about his FA cup.
          Everton at home are second worst after villa

    3. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Does it not make 35 tricky?

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        It helps gwk 35 immensely?

        1. JoJoRed
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          Sturridge more likely to get premiership game time than origi?

        2. Back on the horse
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          I was talking about the players coming in. Not looking sat the ones going out. IE maybe pick some more certain starters for 35

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        3 players that don't have a GW35 fixture to 3 that do?

  13. Thiga
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    For a hit:
    Bolasie > Milner
    And
    Clichy (Rotation too risky) > Fosu Mensah/Rojo or West Brom defender
    Thoughts?

  14. Spencer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Sooooooo...

    A. Milner
    B. Lanzini

    Thanks

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I'm on b. But A doesn't seem mental as it should. On pens and corners

    2. Thiga
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Lanzini! 😀

      1. Spencer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Brilliant. Thanks guys

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Yeah one of the two.

    3. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      B no cup games now for rest of season with 2 double gameweeks and a team gunning for 4th

      1. Spencer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Perfect. Thank you!

  15. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    I think the Liverpool mid I'm going to choose is... James Milner 😕

  16. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Klopp that

  17. davies
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Firmino or Coutinho?

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Neither

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      or Milner?

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Coutinho

      I hope

    4. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Cout in form

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        What good is form on the bench!

        1. Back on the horse
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          Maybe. Is there any evidence he will get rested? And Firmino won't,

  18. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Robles (Darlow)
    Bellerin, Smalling, Gabriel, Sakho (Simpson)
    Payet, Sanchez (TC), Coutinho (Bolasie, Mahrez)
    Aguero, Lukaku, Martial

    1FT, 0.5 ITB

    Any Ideas?

    1. Boyd to Sven
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Same team as me bar Migs for Darlow. I'm planning Bolasie > Townsend and possible Gabriel to someone as I'm worried about his game time. Do you have any plans yet?

  19. cuppatea78
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Bench Boost or Triple Captain Ageuro?

    Team:

    De Gea - AVL (H), CRY (H)

      1. cuppatea78
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Reckon Ageuro will play both games?

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      TC for sure

      1. cuppatea78
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        TC it is then (i guess)

  20. Rusty Nail
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Watching sky sports news that new stoke keeper has concede 5 goals from 6 shots on target. Wish I'd kept Alli and Kane long 90 mins on Monday night

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Ye I'm annoyed I ditched Alli. I didn't ditch Kane though and have said it from the start of DGW plans that I won't be. He's so clinical.

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        I'll be getting both back in 35 regret getting rid for utter dross

  21. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Should I get rid of lovern and coutinho for players who I think will start both the double gameweeks.
    Flanagan and Nasri both not in the European squads!

    1. Park the bus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Believe Flanagan is injured again, hasn't made the squads for last couple of league games. Club have not confirmed though

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Oh right thanks I thought I was on the verge of a genius move there!

  22. Tribecca
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Is Darmian fighting places with Fosu?

    1. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Yes. Fosu had form

  23. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      A

  24. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    If Milner is to be rested for the Bournemouth or Newcastle game.
    Who will play in midfield?

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Allen
      Lucas
      Can (if ok)
      Youngster

      1. madame shelly
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        can is suspended

    2. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Lucas and allen

    3. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      He's fit enough to play every game.

  25. TheShinKicker
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    I just refuse to get Nasri because he's a Grade A bellend, damn the potential points.
    I'd rather crash and burn than have ice cream head bail me out

  26. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Would you take the risk and do Lennon to Lanzini today before the price rise, or wait until the pressers tomorrow?

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      do it now

    2. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Now

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Thanks both.

  27. Master Kane
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    Lennon ->. Nari or Milner.
    With city and Liverpool progressing would Nasri be a good choice with no European footy?
    BTW - to join Coutinho, Sanchez, Ozil and KDB

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Nasri bro

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      That's a serious midfield you've got. TV must never great? Ye Nasri seems popular right now. Considering him myself as want to rid myself of Everton liabilities

      1. Master Kane
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        i guess I can wait for the press conferences tomorrow before deciding

  28. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    If you could choose any defender, who would it be?

    A) Ottamendi

    B) Kos (have Bell already)

    C) Clyne

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Kos.

      Smalling if u dont have

  29. CaptainSanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    impossible to guess who plays for Pool in the next 3 PL games, but I think we'll see a similar lineup for Bournemouth that they played against Stoke, with possibly Clyne or Moreno rested for Flannagan or even Smith. Back to full strength for the derby and then another second string lineup for Newcastle

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I dont think that many players will be dropped for this weekend. Klopp will want to keep the momentum

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Unfortunately I think you might be spot on there.

    3. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      I think so too.
      Except i expect sahko and lovren to hold their places

  30. ducksfly2gether
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 day ago

    A) Daniels & Targett --> Fosu-Mensah & Moreno

    B) Ivanovich & Targett --> Fosu-Mensah & Smalling

    NOTE: Daniels and Ivanovich play each other in GW 35 and I would play the one I don't sell.

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      B easily
