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

Iโ€™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.

Thatโ€™s not to say that there werenโ€™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 weekendโ€™s curtailed fixture programme but also to Gameweek 37โ€™s double fixtures โ€“ 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.

    3. XABI 15

      Cheers

    4. Jersey

      pva

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

    Is it a bad idea to buy Defoe when l have Bellerin playing?

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

      No, they both might score ๐Ÿ™‚

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

      Yeah, I've got double Arsenal defence. Otherwise I'd get him in straight away.

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

    the final major dilemma of the season:

    who to TC?

    A) GW 35 Kane (WBA)
    B) GW 37 Payet (SWA, MNU)
    C) GW 37 Defoe (CHE, EVE)
    D) Other, who?

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

      Wouldn't do B.

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

        ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

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

        Why not?

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

          Think he's been poor for a number of weeks.

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

      I'm set on B

    3. Boyd to Sven
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I'm looking at either C, a random form player heading into 37 or Sanchez in 38.

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

      I burned my TC on Lukaku in GW33, if I still had it I'd go Sturridge GW37.

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

        Sturridge in 37 is actually a good shout if they're knocked out of EL

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

      Sanchez 38
      Studge 37

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

    Carried on from last page.

    Thinking of getting Lamela in to replace Lingard. I don't really need the differential, I'm doing pretty well. Just thought it might be a nice unique way to field 11. Thoughts?

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

      He's played well recently.

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

        Always rated him technically. Just not a player that scores well FPL wise I guess.

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

      Prefer mane

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

        Yeah, I do too really. Just outside my price range though.

  5. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    i want to make this post for cheap options for dgw. who out of these is worth to be put in ur team? ucan add others of urs

    def: martin, bassong, klose, olsson, kaboul, prodl, yedlin, bennett, kirchof,.......gabriel, cathcart, nyom, moreno (rotation).....lei and bou (single games)

    mid: lingard, lanzini, watson, holahan, redmond.......iowbi, king (only single game)

    forward: defoe, borini, deeney, igahlo, carroll, rashford

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

      Loftus-Cheek
      Watson
      Lanzini
      Defoe
      Rashford

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        u would have loftus-cheek or watson in ur team?

        would u use rashford betterthancarroll??

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

          Yes, just did Nasri --> RLC and Watson has AVL in GW36 & DGW37 so he's definately an interesing prospect IMO

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

            watford hold key to relegation(check fixtures)
            watson qualitee nailed,and fpl friendly
            RLC - a great star in the making-seen him life ,has those extra seconds on the ball that other players dont have and an internal gps knowing where others are without looking...

  6. Boyd to Sven
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Worth shifting one of Gabriel or Sakho for a hit? I've already taken one hit but a bit concerned I'll end up with 9 players if neither of those turn up.

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

    The big question Kane or Aguero captain?

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

      Gotta back my guy Harry

    2. Boyd to Sven
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Kane for me.

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

      Kane

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

    Darlow
    Bellerin - Gabriel - Sakho
    Sanchez - KDB - Alli - Milner
    Kane - Kun - Mitrovic

    Robles, Darmian, Delaney, Lanzini

    0,0m ITB. Already took a hit, with so many question marks is it worth considering another hit? Ideas?

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

      I'd stay put

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

    Thoughts on Townsend as an option this week and for the remainder of the season?

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

      I Like nailed fighting team good form good fixtures CPL avl

    2. Boyd to Sven
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I've got him and plan to keep him until the end.

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

      good option, he's on corners too ๐Ÿ™‚

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

    Need advice

    De gea/Robles
    Sakho Bellerin Simpson Delaney Clichy
    Payet KDB Iwobi Sanchez Coutinho
    Aguero Mitro Studg

    Thinking 8 point hit with Degea > mannone Coutinho > Townsend Mitro Kane(C)

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

    Who to bench - Sakho, Gabriel or Defoe?

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

      Expect Sunderland to score?

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

        If Palace can score, anybody can

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

      Maybe gabriel

  12. FPL Daniel

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

    I know there's a caption poll but who we all going for?

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

      Kane

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

      Kane or Alli

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

      Aguero

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

      Kane, but may go pelle as a differential

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

        I'd stick with kane

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

      No idea on the caption poll .

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

        lol

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

      Depends

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

      Aguero. I think perhaps if Aguero played Monday night and Kane was early kick off tomorrow we might see a bit more Kun support

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

      Kane.

      Stats wise Kane and Agüero are not too far apart, but I hate captains on early Saturday kick-offs, and would rather have someone with a MNF-game.

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

        Didn't realise man city was early sat KO. I agree, decision made.

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

      King Harry

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

      Sturridge

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

      Alexis

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

      Kun

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

        Why are people afraid of early kick offs, seem some big scorers on the early saturday kick offs.

  15. Stevie B
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Will Mangala play?

    Team is:
    DDG Robles
    Bellerín Simpson Sakho Mangala Gabriel
    Sánchez Milner Alli Coutinho Lingard
    Agüero Kane Defoe

    Thank you!

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

      Kompany rested, Mangala to play is my guess

  16. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    1ft and 0.9m
    darlow ---- robles
    sakho bellerin gabriel clichy ---- smalling
    sanchez coutinho nasri bolasie ---- payet
    kun mitrovic --- martial

    A: bolasie + nasri >> alli + milner (-4)..good transfer imo if milner plays
    B: bolasie + nasri >> loftus cheek + firmino (-4)
    C: bolasie + martial >> loftus-cheek + sturridge (-4)
    D: something else??

  17. UnitedFan
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Quick one for captaincy?

    A) Aguero (STK)
    B) Alli (WBA)

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

      Aguero. Kane the only other player you can take armband off him for.

  18. madame shelly
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    play Bellerin or Sakho ?

    worth a hit to get Defoe for lukaku ? (already on -4, usual bench risks in coutinho, firmino, iwobi)

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Bellers
      Probably

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

    Best goalie combo lads until end of season?

    1. DDG
    2. Migs
    3. Loris
    4. Darlow
    5. Robles

    Got 1 and 2 but tempted to go 4 and 5 to raise funds

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

      Got 1 and 5 sorry at the moment

  20. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Repost

    Martial to Kane
    Nasri to Alli
    Bolasie to Lanzini (to fund the above 2 moves and get a DGW37 player)

    Worth -8?

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

      I did the first 2

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

      Don't take a hit this week

      1. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        why? if you have a blank player a hit is really only -2 if you assume the 2points for 90mins of play

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

      First two only.

      1. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        he has to do all 3, final move is to fund other moves

      2. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Need funds

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

          Sorry, missed that...I guess so, then.

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

      Should make up 4 for turning up.

    5. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Yes

    6. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Thanks all

  21. Aladdin Sané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Robles* Darlow
    Smalling* Kos Sakho Gabriel Souare*
    Alexis KDB Firmino Lennon* Lanzini*
    Aguero Lukaku* Martial*

    A) Lukaku, Martial, Lennon --> Kane, Defoe, Alli (+4)
    B) Martial, KDB, Lennon, Lanzini --> Kane, Milner, Alli, King (or anyone else for up to £5.2m)

    1. AccountAnt80
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      A looks perfect, but I would do it right now else you'll be 0.5-0.6 worse off in an hours time!

      Would be a bonus if that transfer was for +4

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

        Thanks a lot!

  22. AccountAnt80
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Iwobi to Sanchez for -4? (I can afford it after losing Lukaku)

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

      Yes

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

      Yeah, iwobi surely got to be a rotation threat with Ramsey and cazorla fit again.

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

    Anyone thinking Mannone as a GK option?

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

      Great option after this week.

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

        I have DDG and Robles TM. Who do you think I should get for Robles this week?

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

          Depends on budget and which weeks they play.

    2. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      sure if you want 0 points..

      1. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        wow oops, for some reason I read that as Panti not Mannone..strange that

        yeah could be decent but with Sunderland needing wins might be wiser to invest in attacking players

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

          That's better ๐Ÿ™‚

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

    Need opinions lads, who is the better pick?

    A) Loftus-Cheek (bou, TOT, (sun, liv), LEI)
    B) Townsend (liv, CRY, avl, TOT)

    Cheers ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      I think a sub could be wise.

        tony hibbert -you been called up for the toffees defense yet?

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

          No. My career is over.

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

      Gab/Iwobi/Clichy/Sakho are slight risks of not starting but most people in the same boat so wouldn't worry, think you're safe to hold

    4. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Save

    5. โ€‹

      I am in a similar position and looking for an insurance 12th player, in case Clichy or anyone else doesn't start

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Cliche to rose I was thinking maybe. Id rather have Toby though and I could do that next week with 2fts. Clichy might need minutes before cl.

    1 FT 2.2 itb.. Too many question marks..

    Thoughts on Coutinho to Mane, TMF to Alderweireld

    1. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Coutinho could easily play

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

      Coutinho Won't be risked by Klopp

  28. BadgersBoys
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Kane, Alli or both expected to rise in price tonight?

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

      both

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

    Anyone getting Mahrez back? Could be genius move

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

      It could well be, I can't afford him though.

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

      Already got him. Does nobody else have him or something?

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

      I do too.

      Got him back last week.

      Might get my points this week might not though his firm has been off.

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

      He might struggle without Vardy to finish of his through balls

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years

        This. Ulloua is pants.

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

      Was thinking about him but 0.1 short ...if he plays as no.10 he may kill us all non-owners. He still has 63% ownership

    6. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      too many other fish to fry

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

      not a chance

    8. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      He's looked poor in the last 2 or 3 games. I'm glad I've got rid.

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

        Cert he scored a pen now Tim after that kiss of death.
