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.

    Sakho or Fosu Mensah everyone?

    Will have 11 regardless of whether Sakho plays, so more a 34 decision than 35.

      Fosu

    sevilla would smash liverpool tbh

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      They're not through yet

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

      They just beat the best team in the competition so i wouldn't be so sure

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Everyone ignores Villareal and I don't know why.

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

        well they arent near as impressive in this competition as sevilla, sevilla own the europa league

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Better in La Liga though. Sevilla are a strong team, no doubt, and I think the Spanish teams have been written off completely for reasons I don't understand. But Villareal are very capable.

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

            I support a Spanish side so I know all about La Liga, Spanish sides are the best in Europe

            1. Somalion
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 6 days ago

              You won't get any argument from me, and they take Europa very seriously which I like.

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

                it's stupid not to take it seriously, especially for english sides like southampton

                1. Somalion
                  • 16 Years
                  10 years, 6 days ago

                  Yep. Disgraceful really. A competition you can play some great matches in and have a shot at a CL place, why some teams see it as a joke I don't know.

    4. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      That's what everyone said about Dortmund

    5. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Forgetting Villarreal, who are above Sevilla in the league, and have best defensive record after Atlético?

      Pool could beat either but wouldn't be so sure. Sevilla are a nightmare to play against at RSP, very physical side and pile the pressure on.

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

        no one beats sevilla at the ramon sanchez 🙂

        I never mentioned Villarreal though lol

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Yeah that's why I said you're forgetting them lol.

          And they're actually through...

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

            Sevilla will go through as well XD

        2. Studgie G
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          All the teams are even imo, this sevilla side is weaker than last season

    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Gabriel, Lennon and Lukaku to Fosu-Mensah, Iwobi and Carroll (-8) confirmed.
    I've regretted most of my decisions this season, what could go wrong with this latest one???

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

      wow, hope that works out

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

        So do I, my team looks much better with them in. Maybe slightly risky...

  5. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Chances of Lovren & Cout starting this weekend?

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

      Million dollar question.

      Lovren should start

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

      Who knows

  6. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    How good has Origi been, must have stole Messi's boots

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      What a little confidence can do with a striker.

  7. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Confident Sahko and Coutinho safe for DGW but rested for 35

    Same with, but less so, KdB

    Looks like hits for 35

  8. Hooky
    • 11 Years

    Liverpool highlights on ITV in 5 minutes for anyone who missed the game.

      Thanks great

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

      Hooky as in Joy Division and New Order?

      1. Hooky
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 days ago

        That's me. Don't like to talk about New Order these days though!

        1. SheBangsTheDrums
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Haha! Seen him in Cardiff a few weeks back! Still got it!

  9. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    What to do with delaney? Playing bench boost. Have max 4.9
    A keep on bench?
    B get gabriel who might be benched
    C get fosu mensah, but hes not playing gw 35, would then need another hit?
    D get anyone else?

  10. Shane Ferguson 4.0
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    So, Darlow and Mitrovic now looking nice for GW35 against Liverpool... big rotation before Europe game

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

      Worked well for Stoke last week

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

      Newcastle are pretty terrible regardless

  11. Sif
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Lennon needs to go. Lanzini or Alli
    Can make GW35 easier or commit to the DGW.

    1. BbBb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Lanzini blanks on gw35 and alli doesn't have a double in 34. I went for Nasri

  12. Mainoo Magic
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    My team for the DGW looks like this at the moment:

    Migs (McCarthy)

    Smalling, Monreal, Simpson (Toby, Williams)

    Payet, siggy, lingard. Sánchez (mahrez)

    Kun, lukaku, vardy

    I need some advice on what to do I have 1ft and £1.4m itb, which option is the best:

    A) siggy>coutinho
    B)siggy>firmino
    C)vardy>martial
    D)either A or B and C for -4
    E)something else

    1. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I wouldnt lose Siggy just yet. What about Vardy to Origi or Rashford?

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

    Best defender option guys?
    Delaney -> 5.9M (Already have Fosu, Bellerin, Sakho and Mangala)

    1. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Cresswell

    2. Boz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      monreal

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Do I not like these answers??? 😀

  14. Gassemannen
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Ok, so now that Liverpooll is through to the semis, how much value is Firmino and Coutinho?

    Would you go for

    A: Sanchez and Mitrovic (both play 35 - giving me 11 players for 35) - and i can ccc Sanchez

    or

    B: Lukaku and Firmino/Coutinho? (10 players for gw 35) - ccc Ozil

  15. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Gosh looking at the fixtures, I don't think there is any alternative to playing bench boost other than this weekend.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      I agree, or at least I'm doing it anyway

  16. Jarvis
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Can someone please describe to me Antonios positioning over the last 3-4 games? How far back is he resting?
    Cheers!

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 days ago

      Right wing back.

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

        Doos, thoughts on the triple C on him this week?

        1. BbBb
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 days ago

          Ridiculous, if you're gonna tc a west ham player why choose antonio who's possibly gonna play right back!? Surely you'd go with payet or lanzini

  17. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Spanish teams love yellow cards

    11 more tonight

  18. Manani
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Mignolet Robles
    Azp Bellerin Moreno Fosu Simpson
    Alli Pazini Coutinho Iwobi Sanchez
    Kane Kun Martial

    I'm on WC, and 3m in bank, should I transfer out one of Coutinho/Iwobi to prevent rotation risk?

  19. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Welll with Gabriel, Bellerin & Sanchez I can't get Iwobi and only Liverpol mids stand out to replace Bolasie and Lennon. But to afford 2 Liv mids I need to take a -8 to downgrade Dann.

    So should I press go on this:
    Dann, Lennon, Bolasie > Milner, Firmino (more rested), PVA (plays GW35)

  20. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Hi all...really concerned that my bench boost team will be decimated now by rotation.

    Was planning Delaney to fosu.....but happy to take a hit if I could replace coutinho or kdb with players more likely to play twice in gw34.

    Any views on Gabriel and coutinho to smalling and iwobi maybe for a hit?

    Team is

    Robles darlow
    Bellerin sakho Gabriel Simpson Delaney
    Sanchez payet lanzini kdb coutinho
    Kun lukaku martial

    Advice appreciated...thanks

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

    My heads gonna explode from rotation issues

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

    Where is Jonty when you need him? Help? What does a dullard do in this situation?

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

      Gets Milner

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

        But he has played all games too

  23. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    This has to be the slowest penalty shoot-out ever - get on with it FFS

  24. The Raging Bull
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Amazing match!
    Unlucky Dortmund but this is Liverpool, this is what we do in Europe!

  25. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    In a draft league, is it worth doing Delaney and Lukaku -> Fosu and Sturridge (-4)

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

    Amazing day as a Liverpool supporter 😉

    BvB kept it classy.

    I'd be a little worried about Coutinho for the DGW. Looked absolutely shattered.

  27. cescpistols1
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Mignolet Hennessey

    Jagielka Bellerin Huth Ryan Bennett Wollscheid

    Coutinho Sanchez Payet Mahrez Barkley

    Aguero Kane Defoe

    Who should I bring in for Jags? 5.2 ITB. Thanks.

  28. Total Foot 5

    Which mid to go to:

  29. TorresMagic™

    Sevilla nearly through.

  30. Astronautovic
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 days ago

    Best defender for 4.7 who is playing GW 35 too?

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

      Sakho, may be rotated in 35 but more likely 36
