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.

  1. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Last call:
    a) Lukaku & Darmien -> Kane & Francis (-4)
    b) Lukaku & KDB & Delaney -> Kane & Firminio & Rose (-8)

    Either gets me 11 out. i don't want Francis but i don't want to lose 8 points either
    ;(

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

      Jct 15a: Kane + (not Francis)

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

      Don't like either but b if I had to

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

    Mignolet - Robles
    Smalling - Bellerin - Lovren - Simpson - Walker
    Sanchez - Payet - Coutinho - Iwobi - Lanzini
    Kane - Aguero - Defoe
    1.1 ITB

    Already brought Kane and Defoe in for -4, worth taking another hit for Coutinho > Alli?

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

    Could I get a hand with my team:

    Darlow

    Bellerin Simpson Sakho Gabriel

    Sanchez Milner DeBruyne Coutinho

    Aguero Mitrovic

    Subs: DeGea Souaré Lanzini Carroll

    How many transfers would you make?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Kane and Alli for Mitro and either KDB or Cou

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

      I'd like Kane in. Really depends on who you want to sell. 3 Pool players are far from certain.

    3. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      KDB & Mitrovic to Kane and Alli??

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

    Best forward option to keep for the remaining season: Costa, Sturridge, Pelle or ??

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

      Sturridge probably

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Kane

    Took -4 to get Kane and RLC instead of Lukaku and Lingard

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Looks good and a it of depth, which is unusual this GW

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks. 🙂 Had 11 before transfers, but have few risks as Gabriel, Sakho, Coutinho..probably KDB and Mitrovic won't start and really had to get Kane. 🙂 Have feeling about RLC and he has DGW.

        1. Art Vandelay
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Cheers not feeling the RLC love, but you clearly fancy the punt and that is what counts. Good luck with it. 😀

          1. Dušan Citizen
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 days ago

            Thank you. 🙂

  6. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Can I have some thoughts on these options please?

    A) Martial + Lukaku > Defoe and Kane

    Or

    B) KDB or Ozil (have Alexis) + Martial > Alli and Kane

    Separately, is it worth an extra hit to do Delaney to Rose in case one of Sakho/Gabs is benched?

    Cheers

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      a

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Cheers.

        Rose in for a hit too, otherwise vulnerable to Sakho or Gab being benched.

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

      A. By a country mile. KDB is playing and could easily bag a goal or brace of assists. Not the week to ditch IMO.

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Cheers. This is why I stuck the Ozil option in there.

        How about Rose for Delaney too?

  7. danirg10
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Hey, going crazy... what to do?

    A) Sturridge > Kane (think Stu wont start)
    B) Carroll, Ozil > Kane, Iwobi
    C)Save FT?

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

      B of the rwo.

    2. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      A...

      1. danirg10
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah, its really close, full team in case it helps is:

        Mignolet
        Simpson, Morgan, Bellerin
        Ozil, Sanchez, Milner, Alli
        Stu, Aguero (C - unless i get Kane)

        not playing: Adrian, Fosu, Smalling, Payet Carroll

        With 0.6 ITB and 1FT

        Thanks for the feedback, let me know if you think of other options 🙂

  8. Zizou
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Darlow
    Simpson sakho otamendi bellerin
    firmino alli sanchez iwobi
    aguero kane
    (robles, martial, payet, delaney)

    who to capt aguero or kane, tight at the top of my mini league for april
    perhaps i should punt on a diff captain

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

      Kane hands down for me

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

    Play Gabriel, Townsend or PVA?

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

      Two of even.

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

      Gabriel and Townsend

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

    Play Mignolet or Cech?

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

      unfortunate predicament. flip your coin

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

      Perhaps depends on what coverage you have in defence for each team

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

        Have Clyne and Gabriel, both in risk of rotation and Gabriel is my 5th def. Think im going for Mignolet since he plays home.

  11. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    How many minutes do we reckon these 3 will play?
    Sturridge
    Firmino
    Coutinho

    1. danirg10
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      i think its gonna be 25/65/0, but only klopp knows i think 🙁

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Not worth bringing Sturridge in then.

  12. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Which pair ?

    A: DDG + Darlow (only play in GW35)

    liv , LEI , nor+whm , BOU

    B: Robles + Lloris (play in GW35 and probably GW38)

    WBA , BOU , lei+sun , NOR/new

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

      A

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

        It looks bad this GW, but it allows DDG for the rest of season.

  13. Petr Cech the Table
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Who will score more

    (a) Aguero vs Stoke (H) and Southampton (A)
    (b) Kane vs West Brom (H) and Chelsea (A)

  14. samaael
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    repost

    darlow
    sakho/ lovren/ simpson/ bellerin
    Coutinho/ Sanchez/ Nasri*
    Lukaku*/ Aguero/ Mirovic

    robles/ Payet/ Bolasie/ Smalling

    1FT. Can't do Lukaku to Kane in 1

    a) Nasri- King, Lukaku - Kane -4
    b) Payet - Alli/Mane, Lukaku - Kane -4

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

      A

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      A

      Keep Payet fot DGW

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

      Really comes down to the 1st transfer. Alli = safe although it costs Payet for the moment. Similar spot and probably keeping Payet.

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

        I can get Alli in next week on a free. I was thinking maybe Alli not as prolific at home?

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

          Last 3 home games have earned attacking points. Something else will happen to force a hit.

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

      thanks for the responses

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

      I'm doing A

  15. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    To get Kane in would you lose KDB?

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

      I just did, for Alli.

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Yes

  16. ♤TeddyBear♤
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Seen a few getting PVA in here. Quick and potential daft question, is he on loan from Chelsea and would miss the game against them for that reason?

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

      Nope - he is a Sunderland player, joined in 2014

  17. samaael
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    mitrovic will probbaly start on the bench and score

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

      Here's to hoping

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

        i think its a bit silly to trade him out when there are limited games

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

          Most likely keeping for villa at least.

  18. Zareos
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Currently set to have 7 DGW players in 37 plus Sanchez, KDB, Kane and Aguero. With FTs, I should be able to field a strong team of doublers.

    This week I'm wanting to solidify my ML lead by bringing in my rivals main differentials (they also improve my team I think)

    Which transfer would you make?

    A. Gabriel to Bellerin
    B. Gabriel to Toby
    C. Iwobi to Alli
    D. Save

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

    Martial to Defoe or Costa?

    Really not overly sold on Defoe.......

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Costa is good for the DGW

  20. Zizou
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    kane or aguero (C)

    1. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      i've gone Kane, mainly on game time...

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

      I went with aguero mainly because Stoke are terrible.

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

    Oh baby. No need for Kane or Kun captain it seems.

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      sturridge playing?

      1. Davido989

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

      Any news on Sturridge ?

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

      Want to give a hint on your thoughts on Coutinho for the Newcastle game?

  22. CheeseandBusquets
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Anyone scared of aguero being rested?

  23. Baby Cuties
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    who's RLC?

    probably being seriously thick here

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

      10 years, 4 days ago

      80%

  25. Gerci
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    DDG Hennessey
    Clyne Simpson VVD (Gabriel, Cresswell)
    Iwobi Özil Firmino Mahrez (Payet)
    Sturridge Kane Agüero

    Hennessey + Mahrez -> Darlow + Alli? (-4)

    1. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      DDG to Hart?

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

        want DDG for the double

  26. Optimus.

    My sis works for the Gardai and the only players she's ever heard of are Messi, Ronaldo and Gerrard so she asked me to manage her Gardai money league team.. Want to see what I failed to do gw gone by?

      1. Holy See
        • 15 Years

        Oh my. Quite arresting! The Heat, excellent name 😀

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

          Arrestable offense I give you, must beat Doos with 46 points on the bench

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

    To get more points this gw.

    Walker or Sturridge?

    1. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Sturridge ..IF he starts...

  28. 2TonCarMoon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    OK so I'm 1,402 overall and quite pleased with myself so far this season as I still have AOA and TC left to play. GW35 however is a nightmare! I only have 0.4 ITB, I have 10 starters at best and no idea how to get in the players I want.

    me: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/12078/event-history/34/

    Darlow
    Gabriel / Dummett / Moreno /
    KDB / Sanchez / Coutinho / Iwobi
    Aguero / Sturridge

    Non starters: Robles / Payet / Fosu-Mensah / Delaney / Martial

    I want to get Kane in as a priority for Martial, and I need a defender (Rose!?) to replace Delany. In order to raise the funds, I know I'm going to have to sell Coutinho. Is RLC really worth the shout for this -8 hit, or are there alternatives in the >5.1 mid category worth a punt? Alternatively, I could downgrade Rose to say PvA and have 5.5 for a mid. Still not enough for a 6.2 Alli and I'm struggling to come up with an answer.

    H E L P

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

      You have done brilliant so far ! Just lose Martial for Defoe , job done .

  29. gruffyboy
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Hi all,

    Still have my WC available, will play that in before GW36 in order to use TC GW 37. But for this week I currently have 8 players, so have a one-week punt to make:

    DDG* / Henn*
    Rose / Bell / Huth / Cresswell* / Cathcart*
    Ozil / Firm / Nasri / Iwobi / Payet*
    Kun / Martial* / Lukaku

    Thinking of......

    a. Ozil / Payet / Lukaku --> Sanchez / Alli / Kane -8
    b. Payet / Martial / Lukaku --> Alli / Pelle / Kane -8
    c. Payet / Martial / Lukaku / Ozil --> Alli / Sanchez / Defoe / Kane -12

    Which is better? Or something else??

    Thanks!
