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.

    Klopp can't even talk

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Quick, someone ask him if Coutinho is nailed on

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Aye, he's even struggling to pronounce the names of his current and ex players at the minute!

    Basically guts, we're now all absolutely fcked for Gameweek 35. It will be benching galore for ManCity and Liverpool.

    Most of us plan only to have 11 anyway, so if you take off the 2/3 assets from these two teams that have a high likelihood to be benched, that leaves us with about 8/9 players which doesn't sound promising. Then if you take into account other teams may also have started rotated by GW35 this could further lower this total, and destroy our line-ups.

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Very true. Especially LFC as there's no way they can get into top 4

    2. Jay_
        10 years, 9 days ago

        West Ham and Everton players will have to be sold for Spurs and Leicester players for a hit, rather than just tucking them away on the bench for 37

      • the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        agree, but most people should be in same boat, and not everyone can be rested

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 9 days ago

          would think migs is safe

      • Sif
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Was just about to post similar.

        Not sure how much it will effect DGW Liverpool but 35 expect a repeat of this last weekend. Compounded with benches of blanks.

        Bentekke punt, league stater for sure.

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      City Sold Milner for nothing and Bought Sterling for 50 million. 😀

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Milner is really overrated on here. He's a good FPL player because of his price + set pieces, but he's really average in central midfield. Decent out wide.

        1. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 9 days ago

          still miles better than sterling with better end product

      2. Meinhoff
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Still an average player. Just playing for Klopp

      3. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        plodding along like always being his boring self yet probably has as much gls and ast

    4. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Bolasie and Jags to Milneymar and Otamendi or Bolasie, Jags and Lukaku to Coutinho, Fosu and Sturridge.

    5. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Calm down

      It's still only the Channel 5 Cup 🙂 🙂

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Except it's not on channel 5

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Would be embarrassing if we slapped what City won vs the big clubs though..Don't be that guy 😉

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 9 days ago

          We beat a big club in the C1C Final 😉

      3. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Hey!! You enjoy your cup and let us enjoy ours. You're not suggesting that wasn't an amazing result are you?

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 9 days ago

          I was only jesting, it was a great game and great result. I was up jumping off the sofa when the winner went in 🙂 also United fans will be in bits 🙂

    6. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Can't think.

      I'm off to bed.

    7. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Klopp is as likeable as LVG is detestable

      1. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        bit of man crush here too, truth be told

      2. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        One has a personality

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 9 days ago

          one has a filoshophee

    8. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Milner or Firmino or Coutinho? Coutinho rising so its now or never.

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Not sure Couthino will rise tonight?

        Only 91% on FPL Stats

        1. BB-8
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Yup but that performance might speed it up. Anyway might just wait it out.

      2. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Milner is the safest bet to play all 3.
        The other 2 will start 2/3 but are more likely to score.

    9. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Handbags in an all-Spanish match again. Just imagine how upset they would be if they had our weather as well.

    10. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    11. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I've always said that the Europa League is a great competition 😉

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Games like that and clubs like Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern will be clamouring to join.

    12. southernpacific
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Mahrez > Milner or Iwobi

    13. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Who's more at risk of rotation?

      Gabriel or Sakho

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Both !

    14. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Klopp dropping the 'sh*t' bomb on BT 😎

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        😀

    15. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      haha don't ask me this sh!t

      1. Meinhoff
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        What was he asked?

        1. Studgie G
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 9 days ago

          if they'll get CL

    16. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Please pick 2

      Coutinho in for
      A) Mahrez B) Barkley

      - I own Vardy still -

      Jagielka out for
      A) Rojo
      B) Gabriel

      - I own Darmian and Bellerin -

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        A
        B

    17. Sergeant Garcia
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Well this game would clarify everything... It confused me even more 😛

    18. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Is mahrez to milner mental.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        yes

      2. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        looooool

      3. southernpacific
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        No I'm considering it or to Iwobi

      4. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        After tonight's result, maybe. But if any Pool outfield player has a chance of playing 2 in GW34 and 1 in GW35, it's him.

    19. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I don't think any player except Mignolet and maybe Milner will star 3 games. So, it's best to take that player which is in form and more likely to score/assist than a player who will play a few minutes more. So, Coutinho over Firmino for me.

    20. jackluhg
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Best replacement for Lennon? Already got 3 Arsenal

      8.0 budget

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Milner, he also doesn't blank in 35, so bonus!

        1. Sif
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 9 days ago

          Unless he's rested for the 1st Leg a few days later 😉

      2. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Lanzini

    21. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Who else thought Milners touch was bad and he had kicked it too far to stop it going out?

    22. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      England's Euro 2016 hopes rest on James Milner

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Preferable to Rooney tbf

    23. Sif
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Was planning a hit to do Lennon > Lanzini tonight.

      Would leave me with 4 GW36 blanks (1 to go on an FT) but also Countino (should be ok), Lovren & Coutinho.
      Given tonight do you think getting Alli back in for nailed on games is sensible or just go with Lanzini then a mix of Hope & Hits for GW35?
      Tempted just to throw caution to the wind, in for a penny etc.

    24. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Why do people think that Milner is safe from rotation? The guy has played literally every game ever

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        You answered your own question

      2. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        imo Migs Moreno Milner and Studge will play both games

    25. Mickey Tyrion™
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I think I'm just gonna avoid strategizing for DGW 37 altogether. Will be rotation galore along the way and the point lost along the way will outweigh a bigger possibly score in 37. Just a big headache altogether. Time get back in some Spurs and Leicester players and avoid it all..

    26. Harvey Specter
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Moreno, Lovren or Sakho?

    27. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      liverpool line up against bournmouth ?

      Lallana Sturridge Coutinho
      Allen Lucas Milner
      Clyne Skirtel Toure Moreno
      Mignolet

    28. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Is Firminho out first game of next round?

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Why, was he injured?

    29. Sid07
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      So the plan would be just to stick with what u have and hope player in our team starts and score well even if it's for 1 game

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Yup

      2. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        no other choice really and everyone will be in a similar predicament

    30. Gascoigne8
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Sanchez and Rashford in for Arnie and Kane (-4) good for two weeks?

      Can't see past Sanchez as a triple Capt and can't get him any other way 🙁
