After a turbulent six days which dragged us through a series of emotional highs and lows, it’s fair to say that the ScoutCast team came out of Gameweek 34 with smiles and spirits intact.

I’m joined by Jonty, Andy and Luke, just as the curtain fell on the most remarkable Gameweeks. Having laid down Wildcards and hopeful Bench Boost chips, we emerged unanimous in our praise for what proved a thrilling season highlight, whilst also adamant that the chips have revived the campaign climax.

That’s not to say that there weren’t some lessons learned: via another bout of questions from you, the community, we dissect Gameweek 34 and assess the twists and turns and decide whether we would do things differently next time around.

We also take time to look ahead, not just to this weekend’s curtailed fixture programme but also to Gameweek 37’s double fixtures – another opportunity for chips to come into play.

The ScoutCast is 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.

    • 10 Years

    All settled. Hope I get 11 out, but if not, I'm sure many will be in the same boat. Best of luck everyone!!

    Schmichel
    Bellerin, Gabriel, Moreno, PVA
    Sanchez, Firmino(vc), Ali
    Kun, Mitrovic, Kane(C)

    DDG, Smalling, Payet, Lanzini
    2.9M ITB

    1. Atwood
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mitrovic...could be a good shout

  3. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    -4 point hit. Yes or no?

    Coutinho & Martial > Alli & Pelle

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ues

    2. Effe
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes do it

  4. Beans on Toast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I'm 30 points behind league leader. They have WC and BB with full team this week. I have TC and only 7 starters and 3 maybe playing sometihng this week, Should I take -8 (used free transfer)?

    Darlow (Robles)
    Bellerin Simpson Clyne* Evans (Smalling)
    Sanchez Coutinho* Nasri* (Lanzini Payet)
    Aguero Kane Mitrovic*

    Probably do Nasri to Alli, which of Coutinho/Clyne is more likely to play and who would you recommend?

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Your toast.

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      alli a good t, clyne morelkly

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    King playing OOP, 4 goals in last 6, costing 4.3m, up against 2nd choice GK and CBs.

    He is the hero we deserve.

  6. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Will Pellegrini lineup with Madrid in mind?

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      ofcourse

  7. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Shane Long for a differential this week?

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Could go well.

    2. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm close to getting him, you think it's highly likely he starts? More likely than Ulloa?

  8. gislih09
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    On a wildcard, any feedback much appreciated!

    Mignolet(Gomes)
    Rose-Ivanovic-Bellerin-Monreal(PVA)
    Mahrez-Alli-Firminho-Sanchez(Payet)
    Kane-Costa-Defoe

    3 playing subs and 7 DGW players, planning on probably loosing both Bellerin and Monreal for Smalling&Cresswell(might-change that up though)

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Try and squeeze in Sturridge for Defoe?

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      1. Don't get Mignolet - he'll probs be rotated again at some point. DDG/Schmeichel is best pairing for WC atm.
      2. Love the defence but I'd get rid of one of the Arsenal defs for Cresswell as it'll save a transfer down the line.
      3. Rest is pretty damn good although no Kun could hurt your rank this week as he tops the captain poll.

  9. 420king
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Need a few second opinions πŸ˜€

    PVA or Rose for the rest of the season? Worried about Rose if LEI win next two.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Rose

  10. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Who's your keeper for the next couple of weeks?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ddg

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I've got Schmeichel & De Gea. They play each other in GW36 - not sure which to start.

  11. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    So, you guys going Kane or Kun?

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    3. 420king
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      both

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        oh for (c).. Kane

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Think It has to be Kane. Thanks all πŸ™‚

  12. PMz
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Is Gabriel/TFM > Simpson/Spurs defender worth a -4? I'm 64 points ahead in my ML and rival has taken a -4. Team:

    Darlow (Robles)

    Bellerin Gabriel Sakho

    KdB Sanchez Townsend Coutinho

    Defoe Kane Aguero

    Subs: TFM Smalling Lanzini

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Absolutely not.Would be off your trolley to do that.

  13. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Is price change at 1 or 2?

        Is that UK time TM?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          2 hours to go

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Was just about to ask the same question..how odd

  14. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Sell Cout or KDB?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Cout then KDB

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Cout

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Probably Cout

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Either move is like trying to stab a knife between the gaps of your fingers

  15. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    A tight H2H this week. Two questions:

    A) Triple captain one of Kane, Aguero or Sanchez

    B) Play Gabriel or Lovren. Already playing Bellerin and Migs.

    Thanks for any thoughts!!

    1. ILOVEBAPS

    Time to remove the suspension tightrope? Doesn't matter anymore, no one will get to 15 YCs.

  17. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Player most likely to get me a clean sheet + better option gameweek 35+

    A) Morgan
    B) Rose
    C) Clichy
    D) Bertrand
    E) Not risk and keep TFM with 9 playing

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B IMO

  18. Snapes on a Plane
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Which option makes more sense?

    A) Martial+Bolasie>Pelle+Allli(-4)
    B) Martial+Bolasie+Smalling>Kane+Alli+Rose(-8)
    C) Martial+Coutinho>Kane+Mane(-4)

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A

  19. Fergietime
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Decided its not worth another hit to take Coutinho out, after tomorrows game he can stay in my bench for the rest of the season for all I care, it will be one less benching headache for me.

  20. Optimus.
    • 15 Years

    @Holy See, nice Fpl history πŸ™‚

  21. blauriecon
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    DeGea and Hennessey.
    A. Save FT for GW37 DGW outfield player.
    B. DeGea or Hennessey out.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Why would you take out De Gea?

      1. Fergietime
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Apologies forgot about blank game week

        1. blauriecon
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          A seems right. Wasting FT for this GW only to have GK seems silly.

    3. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      To be honest Id probably just leave it, I took out De Gea for his blank in 30 was it, and it wasnt worth the transfers.

    4. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      DDG has double in 37 better option over any keeper for rest of season

    5. toerag
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      a

    6. Manu5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I had the same dilemma and did degea>lloris. Too close to the end to let points slip away

      1. blauriecon
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Have 3 Spurs already.

        1. Manu5
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Or whomever you think has the best chance of a clean sheet this weekend. Better to focus on the present then the future

        2. Manu5
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          But the only reason I did degea was because of mitb. The only person I could do henn for was guzan, and I wasn't wasting my time with that.

      2. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I'm with DDG + Robles and can't choose who to keep yet.

        1. Manu5
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Would definitely would unloading robles

          1. NATSTER
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            If Robles, I can afford only Darlow as I need 0.4 to upgrade Martial.

            If DDG, I can afford Lloris.

  22. toerag
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    evening all

    any opinions welcomed on this :-

    cout, origi and lanzini -> kane, alli and drinkwater for -8.

    this is just to get 11 players (probably)

    thoughts chaps???

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      If Drinky is your best affordable enabler then yes.
      Can u leave Lanzini and ship someone else?

      1. toerag
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        sorry i made a mistake, its albrighton not drinkwater, and yes hes just to make up the 11. with Lanzini i'd only have 10 πŸ™

    2. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      King better and cheaper enabler.

      1. toerag
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        king against CHE?

    3. toerag
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      mids at the moment are sanchez kdb payet cout,lanzini !

  23. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Allí in for

    A) KDB
    B) Ozil

    and why?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A

      CL

    2. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      hmm tough one
      Does it have to be either?
      Probably Ozil

    3. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I did A). I expect him to be rested for the CL after playing 180 minutes in the DGW, but it could backfire.

  24. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    A or B

    A: DDG + Darlow .. Only play Darlow this week and DDG for the rest.

    B: Lloris + Robles .. Robles is mainly for DGW37

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Because of Lloris for this GW?

      2. Mickey Tyrion™
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Why? I have DDG and Robles, so no playing keeper this week and thought about doing Lloris for a hit, but seems really sideways

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          I have DDG + Robles too.

          0.4m is needed for upgrading Martial and both moves allow funding. Just can't choose yet.

          DDG -> Lloris
          Robles -> Darlow

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B for me

    3. toerag
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      b

  25. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Field 10 players or bring in Alli/Mane for a hit? (in place of Lanzini)

    Team is
    Darlow
    Bellerin - Sakho - Dawson - (Rojo)
    Sanchez - Ozil - Milner
    Sturridge - Aguero - Defoe

    (Robles - Delaney - Lanzini - Payet)

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Alli

  26. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Best Bolasie replacement? 6.7 to spend.

    Midfield is: Alli, Cout, Sanchez, Payet

    Cheers πŸ™‚

    1. thegame
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      dont think coutinho playing.

      milner perhaps

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Already have 3 pool

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      King

  27. ScottyMaz12
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Best (if any) sets of transfers from the below for this team?

    DDG*, Robles*
    Bellerin, Sakho, Simpson, Reid*, Rojo*
    Sanchez, Iwobi, Mahrez, Firmino, Payet*
    Aguero, Kane, Martial*

    a) Iwobi/Martial > Alli/Defoe (-4)
    b) Rojo/Payet > Spurs DF/Alli (-4)
    c) Robles/Payet/Martial > Darlow, Alli, Sturridge (-8)
    d) Rojo/Payet/Martial > Kirchoff, Alli, Sturridge (-8)

    Appreciate Payet out isn't ideal, but needed to fund other moves. Will likely get back by 37 if not before in any case

    1. blauriecon
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Martial to Defoe.

  28. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    What about ?

    De Bruyne + Payet + Mitrovic > Mahrez + Alli + Pelle all for - 8

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay πŸ˜€

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Royal5

      1. Jersey

    Simpson Bellerin Mangala Fosu Mensah Sakho

    Shall I do the following all for -8?
    Martial - Kane
    Coutinho - Alli
    de Gea - Loris

    Or should I do something else?

    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

      You have 10 potential starters. Martial - Defoe no hit

    2. George Sillett

      Sorry -4 needed if you want a GK but I wouldn't bother
