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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Alli + Defoe

      1. White Hart Kane
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        This is what I'm on

    Few top PL teams want Amavi this summer

    1. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Who does he play for?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Villa

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Didn't he just retire from DJing?

    3. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      good call -outstanding potential under radar due to injury

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

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

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Why not?

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

    Which is better ?? 🙁

    A- Alli & Pelle

    B- King & Kane

  4. Mr.Bojangoals
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Won't be starting all 4.

    2. Shipstontrev
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months 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
        9 years, 10 months ago

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

  5. Tingate
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I meant AOA, I'm such a noob.

  6. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez

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

      Kane

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

      Kane

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

      Aguero

  7. ILOVEBAPS
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    KDB worth selling if it gets me Alli and Kane?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Not for me.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months 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
          9 years, 10 months ago

          A

          1. ILOVEBAPS
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks

    2. siweltrebor87
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yes as KDB could be in rotation due to Champions League

      Kane and Alli will feature if fit.

      1. Torres76
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Agree with this

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    5. Akeem
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    6. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  8. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Best replacement for Robles? Already have DDG

    1. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Darlow

    2. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

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

      Robles to Mannone

  10. Tinkaman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

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

    Which combo do you think will score more this week?

    1. ppp
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'd be happier with A

    2. zizoo10
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      kane alone will ouscore pelle + alli

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        This

      2. Tinkaman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      A - Pelle is a bit hit or miss

  11. ppp
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      B

  12. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'd say townsend

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

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

        1. White Hart Kane
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Wouldn't call their defense rock solid..

  13. siweltrebor87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
    9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't be buying him.

  15. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Gtg

  16. White Hart Kane
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Lanzini and Martial to Alli and Defoe sound the goods?

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

      Yup!

  17. Torres76
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

  18. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Hopefully tomorrow morning

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going for it

    3. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I went for it.

    5. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Big rewards if Firmino or Sturridge play up front

      Problem is benteke on horizon

  19. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

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

    Do I go for PVA or Morgan?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      PVA

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers

  20. Shakshuka
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Bench one:

    A) Sakho
    B) Clyne
    C) Gabriel

    (Also playing Bellerin)

    Thanks!

  21. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Tough one but I think so.

  22. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

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

    or is rose 100% nailed?

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

  23. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Am I lunatic for considering Lamela?

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

      Good choice.

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Might as well go Mane

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

      How much is he?

      1. Atwood
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        6.8, he'd be replacing Lingard

  24. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Atwood
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months 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
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Still leaves me unsure

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

  25. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
    9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

      * Forster for Migs **

  27. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    A) Alli for free
    B) Kane -4

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Alli

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Ta, anyone else?

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

      Both

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Means a -8

  28. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Wow, tons of risers tonights

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

      And fallers

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months 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
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months 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
    9 years, 10 months ago

    The big question Kane or Aguero?
