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.

    Kun and Kane appear to be the front two of choice. Who should be player three until end of season?

    1. Sturridge
    2. Pelle
    3. Rashford
    4. Anyone else

    Cheers

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      1

    2. thegame
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      defoe or costa

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Sturridge till he crocks up

    4. puhd
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Sturridge probably. Carrol and Defoe might be surprisingly good choices too

    5. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Carroll until Liverpool exit Europa, I think, but if they do then definitely Sturridge

  2. Torres76
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Best goalkeeper combo until end of season?

    Got De Gea and Robles here

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Thats my combo and Im accepting the blank

  3. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Leader is only 18pts ahead and I have TC He will probably C Kun but doesn't have Kane unless he bought him this week.

    Do I play safe and do Kun C or Kane C

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Attack. Kane (c)

    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Berbs, we got the lotto numbers yet?

    1. Jay_
        10 years, 4 days ago

        17 and 18 are my two lucky stars I'm waiting for

      • Davido989

        Hopefully confirmation tomorrow morning

          • 12 Years

            balders in knocks and niggles i'm still trying for promotion

      • George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Is this cryptic Balders ? This isn't what I think it maybe surely ? Not £2 on a 45m/1 plus shot

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          a large deal going down.......

      Narrowed down - best option here?

      a) Iwobi/Martial > Alli/Defoe (-4)
      b) Rojo/Payet > Spurs DF/Alli (-4)

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      My team as is with 0.3itb

      No GK - (DDG - Robles)
      Bellerin Simpson Sakho Gabriel Clichy
      Sanchez Payet KDB Milner Mahrez
      Kun Mitro Martial

      Best option?
      A) Matrial-Mitro-Clichy > Kane-Defoe-£4m def (-8)

      3. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        I would pick C... and next week bring Payet back for KDB, at least I'm going this route. The only difference is I'm having Alli not Townsend.

        Townsend stats are great so you may be good with him

    5. Snapes on a Plane
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      1FT 1.5 ITB
      Darlow

      Sturridge-Kun-Martial*

      (Robles*-Smalling*-Delaney*-Bolasie*)

      What to do?
      A) Martial+Bolasie > Pelle+Allli (-4)
      B) Martial+Bolasie+Smalling > Kane+Alli+Rose (-8)
      C) Martial+Coutinho > Kane+Mane (-4)
      D) Martial > Pelle/long (ft)

      1. puhd
        • 11 Years

        A

      2. ScottyMaz12
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        c) but Alli over Mane for me

    6. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Anyone going to sell payet then buy him back before DGW? He might drop in price tonight

      1. ARKANOIIDE
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        No way bro, benching him this week

      2. Shipstontrev
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Waste of 2 transfers there.

      3. BDMC5
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Yep I am , bring in alli and pelle for martial and payet. Certainly not wasted transfers if they pay off and payet sitting on bench either way .

    7. ARKANOIIDE
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      If Lewandowski would end in premier league this season - how much for him in FPL you think? 12?

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Which club?

        1. ARKANOIIDE
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Liverpool

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            😆

            1. ARKANOIIDE
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              :[

              1. Royal5
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 4 days ago

                He already left Klopp.

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        0 chance of that happening.

      3. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Highly doubt he'd leave Bayern for any PL club.

      4. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Real Madrid bound imo

      5. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Lewandowski is going nowhere... he fights for about 18 million euros a year (twice what he has now) at Bayern and all the talk about Madrid and PL clubs is just his agent negotiation tactic

    8. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Best player to bring in to make 11 this week before I wildcard:

      A) Long
      B) Ulloa
      C) Danny Rose
      D) Firmino (but lose 0.5 selling Payet then buying him back next week)

      Thanks!

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        D if the .5 still gets you the WC team u want.
        Otherwise C

      2. puhd

        Thanks both

    9. tajik
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Oh here is an intersting one.

      A) Gabrial > Rose -4
      B) Coutinho > Alli -4

      1. ARKANOIIDE
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        For a hit none

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        B

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Gabriel likely to start

          1. tajik
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            Whyd u say that? Team news has mert and kept a cs lasr game

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              Gabriel was rested?

              1. Royal5
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 4 days ago

                Had played the last 10 of 11 from start. Cleary first choice.

            2. zizoo10
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 4 days ago

              do people seriously think wenger, a man with so many years of experience, is going to bench gabriel simply because mert kept a clean sheet?
              he isn't playing fpl.
              regardless of whether he starts or not, it won't be because mert kept a 'clean sheet'

      3. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        No
        No

      4. puhd
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        B

    10. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Which is better ?

      A- Alli & Pelle

      B- King & Kane

      1. FeverPitch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        B I think

      2. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        B

    11. okiwatevs
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      A) Coutinho -> Alli -4
      B) Coutinho -> Firmino -4
      C) None of the above

    12. Theatre_Of_Screams
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Defoe or Costa?

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Defoe

      2. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Wow. Who'd have thought you'd be asking that at the start of the season! Costa maybe

      3. Shipstontrev
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Defoe

    13. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Pelle, Firmino and Martina inwards for UFPL....that'll do nicely...

    14. Gashead9
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I have 11 for this week using just 1ft, but with Mignolet, Sakho & Coutinho. What are your opinions on their game time this week? is it worth taking a hit to remove one of them?

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        No

    15. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Quick question lads:

      Best mid under 6.7 (that isn't Milner or Alli) Loftus-Cheek worth grabbing?

      Cheers 🙂

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Townsend.

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Risky, Oscar may start. Best 6.7 this week? Tadic looks the one.

    16. cantcatchabreak
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Out of these players which ones will start?

      Gabriel
      Coutinho
      Sakho
      Clyne

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        None are "wills"

        1. cantcatchabreak
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          you don't reckon clyne is guaranteed a start?

      2. Jersey
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        probably all 4

    17. Shakshuka
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Darlow
      Bellerin Gabriel Sakho Clyne
      Coutinho Alli Sanchez KDB
      Aguero

      Robles Martial Lukaku Lanzini Delaney Defoe for -4
      B) Martial + Lukaku - > Defoe + Kane for -8

      Cheers!

      1. Shakshuka
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Something weird happened with formatting

        A) Martial - > Defoe for -4
        B) Martial + Lukaku - > Defoe + Kane for -8

    18. Apollo Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Walker or Rose?

      Same price, similar stats. Rose has more assists and more of a bonus magnet. Walker has more attempts and more shots in the box.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        I might be minority but I vote for Walker

      2. Matamatics
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Lucky dip

      3. SheBangsTheDrums
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Rose

    19. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Which combo is better?

      Firmino and Carrol and -4pts or
      Payet and Defoe?

      Till the end of season

      1. Apollo Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Payet and Defoe

    20. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Should i do

      a) Delaney -> Rose
      b) Rashford -> Defoe

    21. Judas
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      With Gabriel, Lovren, Coutinho and Mitrovic as uncertain starters, which of the below is the best transfer?

      A: Mitrovic ---> Defoe (-4)
      B: Payet ---> Alli (-4). Bench Gabriel
      C: None. Hope all 4 play

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        None

    22. nevins84
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      -8 Done....!!

      Hennessy Payet Martial - Out
      Lloris Alli Pelle - IN

      Lloris
      Fuchs Gabriel Francis
      Alli Ozil Mahrez Couthino
      Kane Aggy Pelle

      Wolly only bench player playing...

      Look good to go?????

      dodgy defence but not worth going -12.

      1. zizoo10
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        hmm, the way i see it, you got rid of a player you'll most likely want back (payet), and brought in a player you'll want to get rid of after this week (pelle). that's 2FTs gone before the dgw, plus your -8 this week

        1. nevins84
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Got wc and BB to play...

      2. Torres76
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Coutinho is the risk

        1. nevins84
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah... and Gabby... but most have similar issues

    23. zizoo10
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      A) Delaney/Coutinho > Rose/Alli for -4
      B) Delaney/Martial > Rose/Defoe for -4, punt on coutinho start

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years

        A

    24. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Is it worth keeping Coleman? Will he be fit against Bou in GW 36?

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        I am thinking the same. Not sure it is worth -4 to take him out if he does play against Bournemouth, even though Everton are very unstable at the moment.

      So after Klopp's comments do we think Coutinho is a better chance to start than we did yesterday or wishful thinking?

      Lukaku, Martial, Nasri ---> Kane, Alli, Defoe

      for a back2back -8?

      Is this worth -8?

      Martial, Nasri, Bolasie to Kane, Alli, midfielder up to 5.3 (lanzini) ?
