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.

    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, 3 months ago

      1

    2. thegame
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      defoe or costa

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sturridge till he crocks up

    4. puhd
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

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

    5. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

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

  2. Torres76
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Best goalkeeper combo until end of season?

    Got De Gea and Robles here

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Thats my combo and Im accepting the blank

  3. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Attack. Kane (c)

    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Berbs, we got the lotto numbers yet?

    1. Jay_
      10 years, 3 months ago

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years

          balders in knocks and niggles i'm still trying for promotion
          -would you be minded to swap erik for any of my bunch?

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. 32chickens
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

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

  5. ScottyMaz12
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Narrowed down - best option here?

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

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. puhd
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      A

  6. ILOVEBAPS
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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)
    B) Martial - KDB > Kane - Alli (-4)
    C) Martial - Payet > Kane - Townsend (-4)
    D) something else?

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. SheBangsTheDrums

    3. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months 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

  7. Snapes on a Plane

    10 years, 3 months ago

    1FT 1.5 ITB
    Darlow
    Sakho-Bellerin-Simpson

    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

      10 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. ScottyMaz12
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      c) but Alli over Mane for me

  8. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. ARKANOIIDE
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      No way bro, benching him this week

    2. Shipstontrev
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Waste of 2 transfers there.

    3. BDMC5
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months 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 .

  9. ARKANOIIDE
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Which club?

      1. ARKANOIIDE
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Liverpool

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          😆

          1. ARKANOIIDE
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            :[

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 3 months ago

              He already left Klopp.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      0 chance of that happening.

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

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

    4. KingNidge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Real Madrid bound imo

    5. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months 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

  10. FeverPitch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

    2. puhd
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      C

    3. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks both

  11. tajik
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Oh here is an intersting one.

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

    1. ARKANOIIDE
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      For a hit none

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      B

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Gabriel likely to start

        1. tajik
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

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

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Gabriel was rested?

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 3 months ago

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

          2. zizoo10
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 months 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
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      No
      No

    4. puhd
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      B

  12. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Which is better ?

    A- Alli & Pelle

    B- King & Kane

    1. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      B I think

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      B

  13. okiwatevs
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

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

  14. Theatre_Of_Screams
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Defoe or Costa?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Defoe

    2. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

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

    3. Shipstontrev
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Defoe

  15. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

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

  16. Gashead9
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      No

  17. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Townsend.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

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

  18. cantcatchabreak
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Out of these players which ones will start?

    Gabriel
    Coutinho
    Sakho
    Clyne

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      None are "wills"

      1. cantcatchabreak
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        you don't reckon clyne is guaranteed a start?

    2. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      probably all 4

  19. Shakshuka
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Something weird happened with formatting

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

  20. Apollo Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I might be minority but I vote for Walker

    2. Matamatics
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Lucky dip

    3. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Rose

  21. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Payet and Defoe

  22. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Should i do

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

  23. Judas
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      None

  24. nevins84
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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, 3 months 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
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Got wc and BB to play...

    2. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho is the risk

      1. nevins84
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

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

  25. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. 420king
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      A

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Lol.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      no

    3. Hobolicious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months 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.

    4. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      no

  27. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

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

  28. cantcatchabreak
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

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

    for a back2back -8?

  29. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Is this worth -8?

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

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Lanzini has a blank week
