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.

    So here's me after another multiple hit (-8), good luck all and good night! 🙂

    Darlow
    Sakho, Bellerin, Otamendi
    Sanchez, Ozil, Firmino, Pedro, Loftus-Cheek
    Kane (c), Sturridge

    (Robles, Smalling, Fosu-Mensah, Rashford)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      Love the Chelsea boys in there

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, why not Danny boy..

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          I can't sell any of my 5 mids otherwise I would have all puntwill with Chelsea boys. Bou are awful. I expect our win and goals.

          I might even sell Kun in GW 37 and bring Pedro 😉

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Chelsea are s***e also Daniel if you haven't already noticed.

            1. RoysCallerAnne
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Nothing to play for. Might open up and score a few. FPL points at this late stage are often gained from teams with the odd decent player playing for shop window or a new incoming manager. That's why I've rolled the dice anyway..

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                solid thinking

  2. SwissGuinness
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I'm drunk... What should I do ? A or B ?

    Schmeichel
    Sakho, Bellerin, Dier
    Sanchez, Ozil, Alli, Mahrez, Firmino

    Hennessey*; Olsson, Martial*, Fosu-Mensah*

    A) Lukaku -> Pelle for free

  4. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Going to have to soak some serious price changes just on the off chance that the Pool team is leaked early, anyone else?

    1. Zoostation
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I read earlier that it was rumored already.

      Anyone know what it was?

  5. InSaneMan-e
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Everyone between Kane and Kun captain
    I'm thinking between Kane or Sanchez tbh
    Kun has a high chance of being benched

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mane

    2. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Kane (c), Sanchez (vc) here

  6. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Alright lads,
    Team:
    Mignolet Robles
    Bellerin Smalling Delaney Simpson Gabriel
    Coutinho Firmino Sanchez Bolaise Mahrez
    Aguero Lukaku Martial

    * Lukaku Martial Bolaise ---> Kane Alli Defoe
    for 1 hit

    Do it and go to sleep ?

    1. Perthite
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Seems decent

    2. Aston-villain
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

  7. manutd99
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    How many getting rid of Coutinho. Dont want to but have to for a hit to get Kane in and Martial out

    1. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I had to do Coutinho + Martial -> Alli + Kane for a hit

    2. kesh
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Why is everyone getting rid of Coutinho with DGW 37 on the horizon?

      1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        because of rotation risk, he has europa league too...

      2. manutd99
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        No other way to get Kane. Would you keep and miss out on Kane?

        1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          nope but depends on the team

    3. Perthite
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'm keeping atm, but won't be surprised if he doesn't play.

  8. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    anyone doing benchwankery this gw?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Only tit heads

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      De Gea in for Darlow and Payet in for Townsend in case I forget to do my team next week

  9. Perthite
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Darlow (Robles)
    Fuchs Sakho Bellerin (Dann Smalling)
    Sanchez Milner Coutinho Iwobi (Payet)
    Aguero Mitrovic Kane
    0.9m 0FT

    Is it worth taking a hit to cover Sakho and/or Coutinho being rotated?
    If yes, I assume that defence needs the cover, so Dann out for PvA or Alderweirld?

    1. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No point taking a hit on a defender because you'll only be gaining 2 points if they keep a cs. If they don't keep a cs then you would have made a loss.

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

    A.

    DDG - Darlow

    Bellers - Rose - Simpson - Bennett - Mensah

    Sanchez - Payet - KdB - Alli - Loftus-Cheek

    Aguero - Studge - Kane

    OR

    B.

    DDG - Darlow

    Bellers - Rose - Simpson - Gabriel - Mensah

    Sanchez - Payet - KdB - Alli - Stanislas

    Aguero - Studge - Kane

  11. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

    Last time: Payet or Coutinho out for Alli?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Coutinho.

      1. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        What do you think below Doos? Is Lanzini worth holding for dgw37?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Yes. I am. 🙂

          1. Captain Blanks
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Okay, cheers

      2. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks Doos. Too much uncertainty with Coutinho over the coming weeks.

    2. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Coutinho of those 2 imo. Is there no one else?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Sanchez, KDB and Lanzini (but can't take out Lanzini for Alli without other downgrades)

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'd say the one that's definitely not going to play this week.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        But then would you bring him back for DGW37? That's a wasted transfer.

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          OK then don't make the transfer.

          1. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            😀

            1. Hibbo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Fwiw I have made the Payet out transfer.

              I think selling Coutinho is idiotic over Payet.

              They both have a dgw 37 only one has a chance of playing this week.

              Will he, won't he..only one way to find out really.

              1. Perthite
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Keeping both myself. Like you said Coutinho might play & might play 2in GW37. And Payet has DGW37 too.

        2. Perthite
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          But he might not play 2 games in GW37 due to eoration, so there is a query on people getting him back.

    4. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Coutinho

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers

    5. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      cout

  12. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    How does this look?

    Darlow
    Clyne | Sakho | Bellerin | Gabriel | Simpson
    Sanchez | KDB | Coutinho
    Aguero (vc) | Kane (c)

    Robles* | Mitrovic | Payet* | Lanzini*
    This is for a -4, but thinking about a -8 for Lanzini > Alli and benching Coutinho

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      It's fine. Play Mitrovic.

      1. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Over who? Coutinho?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          One of the 'Pool defenders.

  13. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    hi DZ. halp. 2 FT. I'm poor.

    ......................Darlow
    Bellerin - Sakho - Gabriel - Clichy
    .....Coutinho - Sanchez - KDB
    .....Mitrovic - Aguero - Lukaku

    DDG; Coleman, Payet, Lanzini

    A) Coleman + Coutinho + Lukaku > Rose + Alli + Kane (-4)
    B) Coleman + Mitrovic + Lukaku > Rose + Defoe + Kane (-4)

    or should I go another route?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A.

        what are your Liverpool assets?

  14. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Sanchez (C) is big differential for this GW

  15. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I saw the press conference by Klopp and from what it looks like, he said a really fit team is needed here so I don't see a bench for Coutinho. He said they've got about 6 days away from the Villareal game and they aren't even thinking about the game, and what they need is a fit team. He also talked up about the strength and hunger from Newcastle so I reckon Cout's going to play.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Silly season on FFS at the minute.

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Stuuridge in for Origi , only change imo

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I think they go big too RCA.

    3. Kai
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      It depends on what he define as "fit"

  16. Rambo Motin
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    would anyone do Ozil > Alli?

    Cant choose who to drop out of Sanchez - Mahrez - Payet -Firmino - Ozil

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah Ozil is definitely the one to go.

      1. Rambo Motin

  19. chinmusic
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    What do people reckon the chances of us knowing just in time whether KDB starts? I was thinking of constantly hitting F5 on the City Twitter feed and having the transfer ready to confirm if needed.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Slim. Plus the site will undoubtably crash ...

      1. chinmusic
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        That's a shame. I might sell him anyway. Fortune favours the foolhardy and all that.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not going to happen

      1. chinmusic
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        There must be rules about it I guess. I can't see why City would care whether they published the line-up at 11:43 or 11:47 for that matter.

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Check Twitter. It's always bang on an hour before KO for all teams.

          1. chinmusic
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah, I guess they all have to do it that way.

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I just ditched him. It's the biggest game in their history midweek.
      Him and Sergio for a rest. Sterling and Inny atchoo in the team. Or that Bony fella

      1. chinmusic
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Sergio isn't being rested, Pelle pretty much said as much. I fear for the russet-haired Belgian though. If the runes have Firminho at false nine I might go -8 for him.

  20. Teahupo'o
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Think I'm fairly certain on pulling the trigger on this. 8 point and KDB is the enabler to get back Kane & Alli. KDB's minutes might be minimized tomorrow and we're right back in this situation next gw prior to the second leg. 2 players I want out and a punt on Mane v Villa. Crazy?

    Mignolet
    Simpson Bellerin Gabriel Sakho
    Sanchez KDB Nasri
    Aguero Sturridge

    (Robles, Martial Payet Bolasie Mensah)
    1FT 0.4ITB

    Martial KDB Bolasie âž¡ Kane Alli Mane -8

  21. Farcelona
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Would anyone do Payet to Alli for -4?

    Currently have neither Kane nor Alli and it'll cost -8 to get them in.

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      You'd want to get Payet back in though.

  22. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Josh king worth a punt this GW as a Kane funder?

    1. ​
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Probably better than RLC 😛

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yes for me. Him or RLC

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          You both captaining Kane?

      2. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I only need him for this week. Chelsea seem porous atm. I really wish I could get Alli or Kane but it looks like one or the other and thinking Kane takes priority?

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          *alli & kane

    2. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I just bought him Sess so its a yes from me.

    Darlow (Robles)
    Gabriel Simpson Sakho Rose (Fosu-Mensah)
    Mahrez Sanchez Coutinho Iwobi (Payet)
    Aguero Kane (c) (Martial)

    Iwobi + Martial > Alli and Defoe for a -8?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      If you can get Alli for Iwobi then yes. Otherwise hold.

    First hit since GW9. How does she look. This for a -4:

    Darlow
    Sakho Lovren Gabriel Monreal
    Sanchez Alli KDB
    Kun Kane(c) Mitrovic

    No bench and unfortunately some uncertainties in the starting XI (defence).

    hmm City don't seem to do so well in early kick offs especially on Saturday, could be interesting in fact. I'll stick with Kane.

      Aguero scored 4 in one last season. And missed a penalty.

    GTG? Change captain?!

    Forster
    Bellerin, Gabriel, Fuchs
    Sanchez, Mahrez, Alli, Coutinho
    Kane, Aguero(c), Sturridge

    (Robles, Payet, Fosu-Mensah, Ward)

    -4

    Folks I need your expert advice on this:

    (A) Martial + Smalling (both have DGW37) > Kane + kirchoff

    (B) Sturridge (Rotation risk) + Delaney > Kane + Kirchoff

    1. CrouchDown
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Both options are for -4 btw
