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.

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

      Thought about it for a brief moment but went sturridge instead.

  6. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Any GKs worth a 4 pt hit this week or just go keeperless?

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

      Lloris and Forster looks the best bet

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

      Yes, but only if you are trading down to buy a better "striker". So bringing in say Forster to be able to buy Pelle makes sense I think.

  7. Snapes on a Plane
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Coutinho+ Martial >Alli+Kane(-4)?
    Yay or nay??

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

      Yay

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yay

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

      I'd do that if I could afford it

  8. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Mignolet
    Simpson, Williams, Dawson, bellerin
    Erikson, mahrez, ozil, iwobi
    Aguero, Kane(c)

    Robles, payet, ighalo(fail!), smalling

    I'm looking to out Dawson as West Bromwich have been poor and fixtures are rough.

    0.5itb, thoughts on who to get?
    Will have 5.6m to spend,

    A)rose
    B) walker
    C) save

  9. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    @members - Compare KDB v Ozil. Then do the same with Aguero v Kane 😉

    1. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Wow. Aguero vs Kane over last 4 matches is crazy. Thanks

  10. El Libe
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Cant see full 90 min for Kun this GW so i think Kane is better choice for captain.Your thougts?

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Agreed Kane safer.

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

      Kun doesn't need 90 and Stoke are poor .

      1. El Libe
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I agree he doesnt need but City always having trouble against Stoke players bcs they are much stronger.

    3. danirg10
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Agree, yes

    4. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Agueros played 65 minutes Vs Newcastle at the start of the season and we all know what happened there.

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

    Bench one of these.
    A.ivanovic (Chelsea on their hols)
    B.moreno (may not start)
    C.Iwobi (seems to have gone off the boil and may not start)

    Help very much needed and appreciated.

    Robles Darlow
    Sakho Huth Smalling Gabriel Bellerin

    Martial Lukaku Augero

    1 FT , 0.7 itb

    A) Martial + Lukaku --> Defoe + Kane (-4)
    B) Martial + Lukaku + Coutinho --> Defore + Kane + Alli (-8)

    Any other suggestions?

  13. Zareos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Which transfer would you make?

    A. Gabriel to Bellerin
    B. Gabriel to Toby

    B Delaney to Rose(-4)
    C Payet to Alli (-4)

    1. For Fuchs Sake

      Cout to Alli

  15. Fergietime
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Kloop said that Villareal match is a week away and wont affect the newcastle match. Hope yet for Coutinho

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

      what do you think he meant by "we need really fit players"?

      1. Pea Soup
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I think he meant that they need really fit players. This could mean match fit players, which would be Coutinho inclusive... or it could mean people who have a few less miles on the clock, Coutinho exclusive.

        No one knows. Go with your gut.

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

        Sorry I didnt hear the whole interview but my guess would be that to keep up with Newcastles intensity he will need fast fit players on the pitch.

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

      Klopp also said Mignolet is a very good goalkeeper.

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        He's great compared to Bogdan

      2. Holy See

        😀

  16. AverageJoe
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Shouldni bring in

    A. Pelle
    B. Defoe
    C. Studge (already have Firmino)

    1. AverageJoe
      • 10 Years

    2. Ibracadebruyne

      A

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

      Pelle is the answer.

  17. John Nerdelbaum
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Last call

    On a -4 at present

    a) Stick
    b) Lanzini > Alli (-4) for extra insurance.

    Darlow
    Sakho Lovren Bellerin Simpson
    Coutinho KDB Sanchez
    Kane Kun Defoe

    Robles / Gabriel / Payet / Lanzini

    -4 1.6m ITB

    1. Ibracadebruyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Stick

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        yep, that's what I'm thinking

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Stick

      You have Tottenham cover with Kane....

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        cheers mark - does seem a bit much.

        Just don't really know if I want to keep Lanzini

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          He's a good player and provides the odd explosive return....

          You will want him for GW37 IMO.....

          1. John Nerdelbaum
            • 13 Years

    Bellerin Sakho Fuchs Clichy
    Sanchez Alli Coutinho Mahrez
    Aguero Kane

    Bench - Gabriel
    None playing - DDG, Robles, Payet, Martial

    0.1 itb
    0 transfers

    Not bothered by having no keeper but thinking about taking a hit to cover the rotation risk players.

    How does Clichy to Rose sound? Or just leave it?

  19. Ibracadebruyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Mignolet (Cech)

    Simpson - Clyne - Rose (Clichy - Gabriel)

    Mahrez - KDB - Sanchez - King (Lingard)

    Pelle (vc) - Aguero - Kane (c)

    G2G?

  20. KGJ United
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    KDB, Mitrović to Alli, Sturridge?
    For -8?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'd stick.

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

      KDB could back fire.

      1. KGJ United
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I guess I'll stick.

        We'll see.

        Good luck everybody.

  21. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    I just can't see past Pelle captain this week......

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

      Look harder.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Can't find my contacts though....

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

          You and pelle will be well met then.

  22. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Kun or Kane captain?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Kane. I'd worry about agueros minutes

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

        This

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Kane(going Mane)

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

    Start Coutinho or Mitro?

    Currently at Mitro, but would be nice to hear others thoughts. Can´t see Cout starting after playing the full 90 against Everton though.

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

      Errrrm.. Currently starting Coutinho

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

      They get roughly the same minutes or an autosub in that case.

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

        Yeah, think both might make a sub apparence.

    3. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Mitrovic is clearly not Spanish waiter's kind of player... however, Liverpool away represents a new kind of challenge which might mean that he favours Mitrovic over Cisse...

    4. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I can see Mitro starting. Has played great when has come on and Cisse has been poor. Liverpool away we will need the fight and strength that Mitro has

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

        Really? Cisse is terrible, but Rafa seem to hate Mitro no?

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

      iam transferring both out Coutinho > Townsend or King Mitro > Kane taking 8point hit as my goal keepers are de gea and robles Kane Captain! Maybe TC!

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

        Already taken a -4 (Nas>Alli & Mart>Kane) not sure it´s worth it to take another hit to get rid of Coutinho.

  24. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Bonjour.

    So who are we all taking hits to get shot of this week?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Everyone

    2. Holy See
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I'd imagine Martial is courting a few transfers out.

  25. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    What would you do?

    A) KDB and Mitrovic ---> Alli and Kane (11 players keep 2 GW37 DGW)
    B) Payet and Martial --> Alli and Kane (13 players getting rid of 2 DGW)
    C) KDB and Martial --> Alli and Kane (12 players)

    Cheers

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Why are you getting rid of KDB??

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

        I'm thinking ahead to the DGW.

    Who to bring in for martial?
    A) Kane
    B) Pelle
    C) Long

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Kane

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

      Kane all day long.

  27. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Is it really worth getting in Rose for Coleman for -4 if you already have Koscielny, Bellerín and Lovren?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      No.

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

      not if your playing all 3 Lovren should start but spurs looks a nailed on clean sheet and rose possible attacking points

  28. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Done it. -12.

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

      "The -12 Man"

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

        Nice.

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

          I was pretty chuffed with myself
