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.

    Very stuck with this

    a) alli and pelle in for martial and payet. I can't bring back payet next week for siggy
    B) alli and long in for iwobi and martial. Leaves me a nice transfer next week to bring in Cech. Problem is I'm not convinced by long .

    Thoughts ?

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

      Alli + Defoe

      1. White Hart Kane
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        This is what I'm on

    Few top PL teams want Amavi this summer

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

      Who does he play for?

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

        Villa

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

      Didn't he just retire from DJing?

    3. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      good call -outstanding potential under radar due to injury

    4. Lego-Lars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Really hope Liverpool get him. At least as good offensively as Moreno and much better defensively.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Good, Villa's POTY and so young. Doesn't deserve championship.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Why not?

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

    Which is better ?? 🙁

    A- Alli & Pelle

    B- King & Kane

  4. Mr.Bojangoals
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Is Sturridge nailed on (Benteke returning but it's, well, Benteke)?

    If so, could be good bet for New (H) and Swa (A) in next 2, followed by double gameweek.

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

      Won't be starting all 4.

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

      It's the if so that's the problem, otherwise we'd all be on him.

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. Even vs. Everton he scored within 5 minutes of coming on for Origi.

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        But that wasn't against a woeful team. But I do agree pros outweigh the cons

  5. Tingate
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Apologies for re-posting, got lost on a previous page.

    Current team:

    Forster
    Moreno - Bellerin - Huth
    Mahrez - Sanchez - Mane - Iwobi
    Pelle - Aguero(C) - Kane

    Subs: McCarthy - Coutinho - Daniels - Coleman

    Already used two subs bringing Pelle and Mane in so any other transfers would be a hit.

    G2G? I still have wildcard, all out attack and bench boost, was thinking of using bench boost and taking Moreno out and putting Coutinho in or transferring him for Alli as Cout might be a rotation risk.

    Thoughts?

      Don't BB.

    2. Shipstontrev

      Bench Boost in GW37 for the DGW teams

      1. Tingate
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        I meant AOA, I'm such a noob.

  6. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Who are you going for as Captain

    Aguero

    Early kick off so likely to feature for most of the game, vs Stoke in poor form and leaking goals without Butland

    Kane

    Monday night vs West Brom, Title charge relies on his goals and leading from the front

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Sanchez

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

      Kane

    3. Akeem
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Kane

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Aguero

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

    KDB worth selling if it gets me Alli and Kane?

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

      Not for me.

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

        Best option?
        A) Matrial-Mitro-Clichy > Kane-Defoe-£4m def (-8)
        B) Martial - KDB > Kane - Alli (-4)
        C) something else?

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

          A

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

            Thanks

    2. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Yes as KDB could be in rotation due to Champions League

      Kane and Alli will feature if fit.

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

        Agree with this

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I think so. An expensive rotation risk with no DGW isn't someone I want in my team with so few games left.

    4. Effe
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Yes

    5. Akeem
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Yes

    6. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Yes

  8. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Best replacement for Robles? Already have DDG

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

      Darlow

    2. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I probably wouldn't bother this week and just play DDG rest of the season.

  9. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Have a 35 point ML lead and wondering if it's worth it to do a -4.. Only have 10 players atm and quite a few are risks to even play. Any suggestions on what to do with this would be appreciated!

    *DDG*
    Bellerin - Gabriel - Sakho - Simpson
    KDB - Sanchez - Alli
    Kane - Kun - Mitrovic

    Robles; Payet, Lanzini, Delaney

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

      Robles to Mannone

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

    (A) Kane + Alli
    (B) Pelle + Alli

    Which combo do you think will score more this week?

    1. ppp
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I'd be happier with A

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

      kane alone will ouscore pelle + alli

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        This

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

        You've both restored my confidence with A.

        Gut was saying Kane but he fantasist in me says B!

        Cheers

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

      A - Pelle is a bit hit or miss

  11. ppp
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    AAny suggestions for this team? Lots not playing, plus a few doubts (gabriel,sakho,kdb..)

    DDG Robles
    Smalling Gabriel Bellerin Sakho Fuchs
    KDB Sanchez Lanzini Firmino Mahrez
    Aguero Carroll Martial
    0.4 ITB, 1FT

    Considerong:
    A. Smalling+martial to kaboul + kane
    B. Kdb+martial to alli+kane
    C. Any other suggestions?

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      B

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

    Repost 🙂

    Best midfielder under 6.8 that isn't Milner or Alli?

    Some options include, Townsend, Wij, Loftus-Cheek, etc.

    Cheers 🙂

    1. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I'd say townsend

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

        Yeah, leaning towards him at this stage, the only thing holding me back is Liverpool away 🙁

        1. White Hart Kane
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Wouldn't call their defense rock solid..

  13. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Team is

    Mignolet

    Toby, Simpson, Mangala

    Sanchez, Alli, Firmino, KDB

    Aguero (c) Kane, Defoe

    Bench Gabriel, Iwobi

    Rest not playing this week.

    G2G?

  14. Mr.Bojangoals
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Anyone know if Moreno is nailed on? He's played 0 min in 3 of the last 7 so I suspect not.

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

      Wouldn't be buying him.

  15. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Have these 11 players for tomorrow. Gtg or should I take a hit to get rid of someone?

    Darlow
    Bellerin, Monreal, Sakho, Simpson
    Sanchez, Milner, Coutinho, Alli
    Aguero, Kane

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

      Gtg

  16. White Hart Kane
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Lanzini and Martial to Alli and Defoe sound the goods?

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

      Yup!

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

    Anyone selling DDG this week and buying him back for DGW?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Wouldn't waste 2fts on a goalkeeper with so few left.

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

      Yes I've sold, not sure if I'll buy-back though.

  18. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Sturridge, to buy or not to buy. What's the unconfirmed line up Berbs would be very useful. Cheers.

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

      Hopefully tomorrow morning

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Cheers. I've exact change for transfers below but would rather Sturridge if he's starting. Tough to know what to do.

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I'm going for it

    3. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I'm going to hold off for now and grab him for 37 if he's still logging good minutes

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I went for it.

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

      Big rewards if Firmino or Sturridge play up front

      Problem is benteke on horizon

  19. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Right gonna take a 4 point hit to get Delaney out.

    Do I go for PVA or Morgan?

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

      PVA

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Cheers

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

    Bench one:

    A) Sakho
    B) Clyne
    C) Gabriel

    (Also playing Bellerin)

    Thanks!

  21. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    The only bench player I have is Gabriel. I also have Clichy, Sakho and Coutinho in my starting line up that are rotation risks.

    Worth doing Clichy to Rose for a hit?

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

      Tough one but I think so.

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

    should i get dier over rose for the nailedoness???

    or is rose 100% nailed?

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      He's nailed, so go Rose if he's the one you want.

  23. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Am I lunatic for considering Lamela?

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

      Good choice.

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Might as well go Mane

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

      How much is he?

      1. Atwood
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        6.8, he'd be replacing Lingard

  24. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    So people are more confident in 60 mins of Kun v 90 mins of Kane?

    1. Atwood
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      For captaincy? I'm definitely going Kane. Better team, bigger game, will play whole 90. Don't blame anyone for going Aguero though of course.

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Still leaves me unsure

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

      If it's 4-0 on the hour then he'll come off, job done, kerching!

  25. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Delaney, Payet and Lukaku out for Rose Alli and Kane? Can't decide if I want to get rid of Payet and Lukaku with a DGW so soon.

  26. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Horrible feeling Ward is going to start instead of Migs.

    May use my FT this week to do Forster to Migs instead now.

    Sturridge may not play either but that won't pose a problem as I can go 4-4-2, so probably not worth taking out a nailed on mid (Siggy) for another one (Mané) and leaving me a player short?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      * Forster for Migs **

  27. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    A) Alli for free
    B) Kane -4

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Alli

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Ta, anyone else?

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

      Both

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Means a -8

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

    Wow, tons of risers tonights

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

      And fallers

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

    My keepers are DDG and Elliot. Playing bench boost in GW 37. I need a keeper and probably for a hit. Who to go:

    Mannone or Mignolet?

    Will Mignolet start for sure?
    Will Manone get anything against Arsenal?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      If you're going for Migs can you not pay £0.1m extra for Forster?

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

      Im gonna blank at keeper this GW
      Already got 3 Pooles and dont see value in shipping either Keeper for a hit

  30. Super Zlatan8
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    The big question Kane or Aguero?
