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.

    So Robles just about saved my bacon this week after a dreadful start. Lukaku, Lennon, Bolasie all disappointing post WC with Cout and Sakho (having swapped him for Moreno who decided to bring some points in) not playing also.
    1FT and 0.2 in the bank. What to do????

    Mig Robles
    Sakho Bellerin Gabriel Targett Simpson
    Payet Cout Bolasie Sanchez Lennon
    Martial Aguero Luk

    Hard to look past Bolasie -> Townsend seeing as I need a player playing GW35
    Thoughts or other options?

    Playing bench boost this week and captaining Sanchez fyi.

    Jags >
    A) Fosu-Mensah
    B) Rose
    C) Dawson

    Lingrad > (for -4)
    1) Lanzini
    2) Iwobi
    3) Keep Lingrad

    Cheers.

  3. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Il be shocked if coutinho starts vs BOU.
    Firmino and milner should though

    1. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      🙁

      Have both Coutinho and Sakho.
      Not sure what to do with them.

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Sahko will play imo. He got a full rest last weekend. And klopp will want to keep him and lovren playing together

      2. dub75670
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        got both as well and worried too. think they'll play vs everton and im hoping as sakho got a rest last week he'll play both. going to keep my fingers crossed rather than take a hit

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      He's a fit lad, I'm sure he'll manage

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Doesn't seem to be tho always looks shattered and misses loads of games throughout the season

  4. SantiClaus
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Bottomed. So stuck

    Who is actually more nailed? Rojo or FM? Price not a concern although I could get Clyne over Moreno with fm

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Rojo slightly more

    2. Magic but Tragic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      They will both be subbed but could both play the 2 games

    3. SantiClaus
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Thanks guys think I'm going with Rojo

  5. Magic but Tragic
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Differential could be Rooney?............

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Roonpig is a joke

    2. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Is he listed as a defender now or something?

    3. Magic but Tragic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I think I've been looking at this for too long. haha Nothing to back Rooney up for this week.

  6. madame shelly
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    cant keep firminho and coutinho now surely can I ?

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Coutinho better, but more rotation risk

      1. madame shelly
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        thinking firmino back to mahrez. seems such a waste of a xfer tho

        1. KingOllie
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Definitely dont do that.
          Keep both for 34 and reasses 35.
          Or bring Nasri like i just have

          1. madame shelly
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            nasri is an option but mahrez helps block my ml lead. it's for a hit too, as jags & Bolasie have to go :/

  7. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Migs (Darlow)

    Bellerin / Coleman / Ward (PVA, Simpson)

    Coutinho / Sanchez (TC) / Payet / Barkley (INJ) (Bolasie)

    Kun / Lukaku / Welbeck

    A - Barkley - Nasri
    B - Barkley / Lukaku - Nasri / Martial -4
    C - Barkley / Ward - Lanzini / Smalling -4
    D - Barkley / Ward - Nasri / Fosu-Mensah -4
    E - Barkley / Lukaku - KDB / Rashford -4

    Really appreciate any help with this, ty in advance.

  8. SantiClaus
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Sakho or Moreno?

    1. zelio78
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Moreno

  9. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    GK De Gea Robles
    DEF Simson, Sakho, Bellerin, Mangala, Ward
    MID Barkley, Coutinhio, Lingard, Payet, Sanchez(c)
    FWD Lukaku, Aguero, Kane

    2 Free`s, happy to do a -4 or a -8

    I don`t trust the pool players I have 1 bit, Mangala and Ward also look iffy.

    So is this total madness for -8?

    Barkley to Milner
    Cout to Nasri
    Mangala to Kosc
    Ward to Smalling

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Smalling, Bellerin to outscore most of the names on that captains poll

  11. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Is this madness? Lukaku, Coutinho and Gab out for...

    Ozil, Kos and Rashford (-8)

    Just going for nailed players here

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Is any player nailed though.....Rashford in form but Rooney back will take at least some game time off him imo

    2. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      The rash isnt nailed im afraid.
      Hes young and may need a rest. Rooney could play vs the villa

    3. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      So why did you pick Rashford? -8 is madness switching out 3 DGWer's. Whats to say Ozil and Kosc won't get a rest either? We just don't know. You (like me) made your bed now sleep in it 😉

      1. madame shelly
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        arsenal don't need to rest players

        1. The Left Duke #3
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          They do if they play 3 games in 7 days

  12. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    OK I planned for BB this week, I planned to save my FT this week.....I know I have issues but I am leaning towards sticking to my guns and crossing my fingers.....thoughts? (0.1 ITB)

    Robles / Darlow
    Delaney / Bellerin / Sakho / Moreno / Simpson
    Ozil / Sanchez / Coutinho / Payet / Lanzini
    Aguero / Martial / Lukaku

  13. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Are Liverpool/City players now a no go area now considering they have EL/CL semi-finals to play and 3 games in quick succession before it?

    What are peoples thoughts on this? Who are getting in?

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Nasri cant play in EL.
      0.5% ownership.

      Gonna be gold

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Uh, nice pick too with Sterling gone for the season and Navas being cat. Thanks for the heads up.

        What you doing about Pool?

        1. KingOllie
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          My plan was Barkley -> pool mid. Im now abandoning all pool midfielders until gw36. If you have them just stick, but i wouldnt bring any in. Milner safest of the lot though

          I have sahko and just gonna hope he plays.

        2. Demí
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Where's Sterling gone?

            1. Demí
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 6 days ago

              Yeah i saw that earlier. Hence my question/confusion

              1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 6 days ago

                Once again I prove to be no help whatsoever . That was the best I could do

                1. Demí
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 6 days ago

                  That's not strictly true. You've helped out Wasp now, assuming he's clicked the link.

                  1. The Left Duke #3
                    • 11 Years
                    10 years, 6 days ago

                    Cheers for the heads up lads. Not sure on Nasri Sterling and every Pool midfielder now haha. It's pot luck at this stage.

          1. The Left Duke #3
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            I thought he was crocked for the season? Is he due back?

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        None of his teammates can't play EL either.

        1. KingOllie
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          They might be next season if pool win the EL 😉

  14. The Stig
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    1. Theatre_Of_Screams

      10 years, 6 days ago

      Milner and Nasri

      1. The Stig
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks bud!

  15. UnitedFan
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Milner definitely gonna get both DGW34 games?

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Ya

  16. Bored Bear
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Play Robles or Darlow?

  17. rjcv177
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Ddg or cech?

    Bellerin guarantee and probably f-mensah over rojo

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Ddg

  18. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    If you could only choose one for the next few weeks?

    A) Townsend

    B) Ali (block tactics)

  19. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    If you could have 1 extra player (whatever position you like) and budget would not be an issue, who would it be:

    For me it would be Ozil I guess

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I think rashford as a 4th striker

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        I'm not convinced he'll start both games actually....

    2. oghash
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Messi, impact sub

  20. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    This dgw is gonna have so many highs and lows. Cant wait

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Mostly lows. Lets be honest its gonna find a way to be disappointing like everything else has been this season FPL wise

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Nothings been as bad as gw33

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          It has to get better from gw33, it surely cannot get worse

  21. Mayor of Flair
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Apologies for the re-post but last post was a tie.

    Should I bench Mahrez or Alli this week?

    Have Kane but not Vardy

  22. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Suck on this guys (below)... Never forget that Anfield is the most glorious European cauldron that other clubs can only dream of. It doesn't matter who the starting 11 are, who the manager is, what the competition is, or who the opposition are ; Liverpool FC are and always will be a European powerhouse because of what occurs inside that stadium. Etihad, Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, please take note... that's how you do it.
    It really doesn't matter that it's EL and not CL. THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT.

    Best fans in the world......

      • Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        The fans brought a tear to my eye today. With 3 goals needed they were still singing in full voice. An absolutely brilliant display today. YNWA 🙂

      • Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        😆

        Glad i missed the start, would definitely be in these comments otherwise

      • FAITHNOMORENO

        Anfield like no other place.

        Was under no illusions how much the fans would play a part mate and stand by my comment because we would have got hammered

        also credit where its due that was a pretty special comeback im a united fan so i know a thing or two about those.. congrats mate

      • SantiClaus
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Here here.

        Some wally was trying to say Sakho was a bad defender aswell. Stroof

    2. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Who can i bring in for Delaney? (5.9M budget)

      Robles Darlow
      Fosu-Mensah Bellerin Sakho Mangala Delaney
      Sanchez Coutinho Lanzini KDB Iwobi
      Kun Lukaku Martial

      Appreciate any thoughts 🙂

    3. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I feel as though Coutinho will definitely be rested next game. Look absolutely shattered.
      Klopp will experiment in the league now and focus on Europa League for sure.

      Might try some different attacking combinations too like Origi/Sturridge together.

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        But he was just rested literally the game before 🙁

        1. Lallana_
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Liverpool have a wealth of attacking options right now. Sad news for Liverpool fans is that there's probably another attacking spot available if Can is injured. Doesn't look good 🙁

          Good for you though.

    4. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      So I have Lennon (inj) Coutinho (rest) Gabriel (dropped) and Sakho (rest)

      Playing BB and obviously looking to maximise my DGWer's. 1 FT

      Who do I focus on?

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Sakho might play both games!
        I'd get Lennon out. Blank coming up too and Everton are shocking lately.

      2. Theatre_Of_Screams
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Gabriel isn't defo dropped.

      3. madame shelly
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Lennon, and maybe a hit.

        cout and Sakho will play at least 1 game each

      4. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Gab will hold his place. Sahko deffo could too.
        Lennon out for sure. Look at nasri/lanzini/iwobi

        1. madame shelly
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          why so sure on gab ?

          1. KingOllie
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 6 days ago

            im an arsenal fan and am quietly confident.
            Merte out of contract at end of season
            Gabriel wasnt really at fault for the goals
            He will want kos/gab partnership to grow
            Cech will be brought back in instead

      5. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Why are you just guessing on the status of your players?

        1. Kevtheotter
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Not guess just rather a threat that they may have

          Cheers for all the replies lads

    5. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Who do you think will score the most points in the next 2 GWs?

      A) Nasri

      B) Townsend

      C) Ali

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Probably Alli, but I'd back Nasri.

      2. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        A

      3. Magic but Tragic
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        Ali

      4. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        A.

    6. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      For a hit.

      a) Ward out

          Lukaku would be out for Sturridge. Ward would be out for Tosu-Mensah.

          I think I'm going to do Ward out.

          Cheers Ollie. Just worked out that I'll need to take a hit in GW35, so might do A+B!

      I took the plunge. Team locked and BB on.

      DDG / Schmeichel
      Daniels / Lovren / Bellerin / Aldy / Cresswell
      Ozil / Iwobi / Firmino / Lanzini / Lingard
      Kane / Martial / Kun

      big points drop.

      Now the doubt slips in. Any calming words?

      Would you wildcard in Origi or Carroll? Wondering if Origi will play both games this week and also in GW37--- kind of a stretch?

      I still have my bench boost and triple CPT.... one of which I need to play GW 37? WHU will definitely have something to play for in GW37. So I am leaning to Carroll.

      Why did Liverpool have to qualify, WHY?
