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.

    Do you prefer (1 transfer only):

    A) Lingard to Townsend
    B) Rojo to Alderweireld?

    Thanks

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

      B

    4. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going to make a suggestion if your chasing like me do

      Lingard > Lamela

  2. mr messi
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Already taken a hit, any more changes needed? I've a few doubts but have 12 potential starters.

    Darlow
    Sakho Moreno Gabriel (Simpson, Smalling)
    Sanchez Coutinho KDB Alli (Lanzini)
    Aguero Kane Welbeck

  3. CamTheMan
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Should I bring Pelle in for Martial even if I already have Long?!

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      As in Shane Long? 😯

      Or you have long... to think about your transfer? For your sake, I hope it's this. 😛

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I have Pelle & Long too they could assist with each other's goals definitely get the pair off em.

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

        Oh dear

  4. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Good to go?

    Migs (Robles*)
    Simpson, Bellerin, Kos PvA (Reid*)
    Mahrez, Sanchez, Firmino (Payet*, Lingard*)
    Kun [c] Sturridge Kane

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      That's a nice team if all your Liverpool players start.

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, that's a big IF

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

    Alli's record this season:

    Home: 2 goals, 5 assists

    Away: 8 goals, 7 assists

    May not be essential this weekend in my opinion.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      dont think hes essential, but he has a very good chance of a good score and therefore worth a go

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

        Not for -4, though, in my opinion.

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

      Not essential but a Kane enabler for many

  6. Phaze 1
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else in the no hit club this season? Currently in the top 12k

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      ive taken fewer hits than any of my previous seasons and ive had one of the worst lol

      pulling it back the last few gws but still currently 40k

  7. wbm
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Who to get instead of Lukaku? Got Aguero and Kane

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking sturridge.

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        +1

    2. mr messi
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sturridge

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

      Yeah Sturridge is on top of my list, together with Coutinho > Alli for a -4
      A bit afraid of Sturridges minutes tho.

  8. Gazpilicueta
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Help please!

    I have relegated Pelle from Captain...but I cant choose who to give it to....

    A) Sanchez
    B) Aguero
    C) Kane

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

      Kane and Aguero have the easier fixtures, Kane less likely to get restricted game time. He seems like the best choice to me.

    2. Mainoo Magic
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      C

    3. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez if your chasing like me.

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

    Worth selling Coutinho for a hit? Or do I risk that he plays?

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I sold for Firmino effectively for a hit. I think it has a good chance to pay off.

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

        Klopp suggested he wouldn't rotate much..

        Think I keep

  10. jam sandwich
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Darlow
    Gabriel - Bellerin - Lovren - Fuchs
    Sanchez (v) - Coutinho - De Bruyne
    Aguero (c) - Pelle - Mitrovic

    De Gea - McAuley - Payet - Lanzini

    gtg?

  11. DanLFC1
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    In and around the top 5k.. Would anyone take a -4 to make any changes here? £3 in the bank

    De Gea (blank)
    Bellerin Gabriel Sakho Simpson
    Sanchez Milner Coutinho Townsend
    Aguero Defoe

    Bench: Robles Lanzini Smalling Lukaku

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

      You can't get a decent pint for £3 these days!

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

    Really pleased in my late rise to the rankings but wonder what might have been with such a rubbish start, as always...

    http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/285447/history/

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Well on course for a P.B season 🙂

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Amazingly, yea. Considering I was killing it that season with drogba and fat frank

  13. mozza
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    early Liverpool teamsheets have been accurate the last few games.... so if we get an early heads up that Firmino is starting as striker, would you prioritise getting him over Alli given the differential and the extra gw?

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I would, yea. I have actually, esp given pools fixtures and DGW

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

      There will be rotation on next week anyway.

      Btw, how early is the teamsheet?

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

      When are we likely to hear early team sheet?

  14. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Somebody please help.

    Mig/Rob
    Sakho/Smalling/Bellerin/Gabriel/Clichy
    Payet/Coutinho/Townsend/KDB/Sanchez
    Martial/Mitro/Lukaku

    0m itb and 1ft

    I'm at work now and tomorrow morning so don't have time to check. Please help!!

    I presume Clichy out, but to who?

  15. Hardly Athletic
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Best midfielder for the rest of the season for 5.4 or less?

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      RLC.

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Antonio, Lanzini or RLC.

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

      Lanzini maybe?

  16. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Need to use FT but no idea what to do. Think I have decided on:

    a) Reid to PVA
    b) Carroll to Defoe

    Thinking B as would much rather have Carroll than Defoe for DGW. Means playing PVA v Arsenal.

    Benching Smalling, Payet, Carroll.

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Depends, do you have 11 starters?

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 3 months ago

        No, thats why I need to make the trannie.

        1. KLOPPTOMANIA
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          A. seems reasonable then

  17. Sean.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    a, Lukaku,Martial,Coutinho > Kane,Pelle,Alli,(-8)
    b, Lukaku, Payet,Fosu-M, > Kane,Alli,Rose (-8)

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      B) for me Sean.

      1. Sean.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        hmm, i'm 0.1 off doing that but with Coutinho, would like to lose him so i can get Sturridge in 37, ( have Firmino also)

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Coutinho could do well against Newcastle.

  18. Shirokov(c)
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Absolutely ROCKING that 5-3-2 this week.

  19. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Who to buy for this GW ... Sturridge or Pelle ?

    He will be out for Deeney next GW.

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Studge.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. Will he start is a big question.

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Not mentioned but Long scores goals and will save you money for the next GW

  20. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Mignolet (Elliott)
    Bellerín - Monreal - Fuchs (Delaney,Smith)
    Mahrez - Alli - Milner - Özil (Payet)
    Agüero - Kane (Lakuku)

    What to do with this lot?
    A) Smith -> Simpson
    B) Lakuku -> Defoe
    C) Lakuku & Payet -> Sturridge & 7mil or less mid maybe Lamela (-4)

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

      A

  21. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    If you can't field 11 starters is it worth while taking a hit

    Worse thing is you will be 2 points worse off ??

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

      Definitely worth it if the player you bring in is someone you'll want for the rest of the season. Less so if it's only for tomorrow.

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      For real?

  22. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Just pressed the button. RLC is in! 😀

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Part of a 8 point hit too 🙂

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          I was tempted by a -12 but saw sense

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

      RLC ?

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Loftus Cheek

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

        got it, Loftus Cheek

    3. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Confident?

  23. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    With Nasri now out I am now down to 9 outfielders, with 39 points separating me from 1st place in my ML do I go -8 to field a full 11 this week. I am able to get a full 10/11 DGW for GW37, Unlike his 0 DGW without transfers/hits (Not sure if I will bench Sanchez atm) so Do I do

    A) Nasri + Fosu Mensah to Ali & Rose/Morgan

    B) Nasri + Martial to Pelle & Ali

    C) Nasri + Martial + TFM for Ali, Morgan & Pelle (And say F**k it -12)

  24. Puzzle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku, Coutinho, Delaney -> Kane, Alli, PVA? (-8)

    Short on players this GW.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  25. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Two questions:

    1. Who would you bench out of: Sakho Gabriel Coutinho Mitrovic?

    2. Worth shipping Coutinho out for Firmino (-4pt hit)?

    Thx.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      prob mitro
      no

  26. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Get Kane now and have 8 DGW'ers for 37
    Or
    Never take Kane and have 10 DGW'ers for 37

    1. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      The one with Kane

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

      Going without Kane is a big risk at the moment I think. But up to you - risks sometimes pay off.

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      had it been last dgw, then kane holders won typically

      this coming one its hard to say, but most wont risk not having kane.........

      personally id rather have 4 extra players

  27. 420king
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Better pick for the rest of the season:
    A) Rose
    B) PVA

    1. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Rose,

  28. @FPLStrategist
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Double game weeks. It's the fever...that turn good men...cruel (and stupid).

    Is a -8 worth it here?

    Mitrovic, Martial and Coutinho our for Kane, Alli and Defoe?

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

      not for defoe I wouldnt say arsenal should be tough to beat

  29. CamTheMan
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Barkley out or Martial out?

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

      I have 12 players playing but two of them are Clichy and Sakho. Do I:

      a) Stick and hope one of them plays
      b) Dann to Rose for a hit

      Cheers

      1. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        a) chance it. maybe Sakho plays

    2. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Barkley
