Gradually weaned off our double fixture helping and returned to normality, the ScoutCast team take time out to pick through the wreckage of Gameweek 34, before we set our sights firmly on what lies ahead.

Wildcards and Bench Boost chips lodged up their end of season sleeves, Jonty, Andy and Luke join me to embrace another round of community questions.

With the rebuilding programme imminent, we take a look at those shot-term punts who can do a job in Gameweek 35, before weighing up single fixture assets who can possibly hold their own amid the forthcoming circus of Gameweek 37.

And, of course, we carry out our weekly appraisal of Alexis Sanchez, as the Chilean hints at a return form just as an irresistable Eden Hazard closes in.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Monday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    Getting Blind and Jesus for Davies and Negredo for -4

    1. T444
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't want to miss any Jesus points so I think I'll just take a punt

    Sat at 21k, and have been around there for some weeks now. Do we have any idea how many of the top 20k have already used their bench boost? Or just a reasonable estimate?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Roughly 60% have bench boost left.

      1. Knowledgeable meerkat
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, so being sat at 21k my goal of top 10k is very much still on

    Last Man Standing GW34 🏆

    Safety score = 54
    Top score = 79
    LMS average = 56.23

    57 : 25 eliminated
    32 through to GW35
    50% or minimum of 16 out next GW.

  8. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years

    Is it looking like Jesus will start against Middlesbough? Easy transfer of Negredo to Jesus if so.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would guess so, but just a guess

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's a maybe...he will get some time, but start, who knows...?

  9. Venom Snake

    1. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

    2. T444

        Haha definitely

  10. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How does this look for a one week punt before WC?

    Alexis + A Carroll > Hazard + Jesus (-4)

    Won't lose value on Sanchez and will get him back for 36?

  11. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    After what was looking like a crap GW, turned into a green arrow and up to 97k. 🙂

    1. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nice. Any chips still lying around?

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just BB left, WC in GW 30, but 1 red arrow in last 12 GWs and gone from rank 1.98M in GW 12 and not too badly set up for 37 hopefully. 🙂

  12. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years

    What would you do with this team?

    PIckford
    Brunt Valencia Yoshida
    Sanchez Alli Siggy Zaha
    Lukaku Benteke Kane

    Jacupovic-Vertonghen Gibson Clayton

    Thanks

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Does lukaku to gabbi allow you to do siggy to hazard? If not just do siggy to arnie or something if you have WC.

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers.Yes i can do Siggy+Lukaku->Hazard+Gabbiadini and i have wc for gw36.Hazard a certain wc pick but maybe for gw35 Coutinho/Sane a better pick?

  13. andy85wsm

    Looks like Mr Knut Hebæk is 17 weeks at number one now.

    I had a friend who also stayed at number one for 17 weeks so it looks like he'll break that record!

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Brian Adams? Hebknut is a legend, hope he holds on.

    2. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What a legend! At the top for so long is really something special

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That is a amazing run at the top in something as competitive as fpl and in his 1st year playing the game in all

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He is MJ's Thriller
      We are all Safety Dance

  14. flippetyflop

    What are my fellow Valencia owners doing? Can't see him starting vs Swansea myself!

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can't see him starting either. I have Baines as first sub so may just risk it. Probably not worth a -4 with WC next week for me.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping he starts. Not worth a FT of shifting him out before WC. Good thing is he's either 0 or 90.

    3. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I sold him for kompany, could not live with stress and uncertainties of owning Valencia another week

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Selling on WC, got Bailly/DDG

      Top 100 next. Great work.

  16. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which option do you prefer on WC ? (Both costs the same)

    A) Sanchez Kompany Maguire Pickford

    B) Ozil Luiz Vertonghen Caballero

    1. UnitedFan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For me, B.

  17. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ta DDG, snuck a green arrow to 13k despite Negredo captain. Chastened!

  18. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can get this team with 1FT

    DDG
    Alonso - Robertson - Chambers
    Sanchez - Alli - Eriksen - Siggy
    Kane - Kaku - Gabbi

    A) Stick, WC next week
    B) WC this week, bring in city/soton/king

  19. korbendallas82
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which teams scores most goals in gw35?

    1. Manchester City
    2. Liverpool
    3. Bournemouth

    Crystal Palace and Manchester United will be solide, but maby not score that many goals?

    Any other Guess?

  20. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years

    19K to 22K this week. WC TC and BB left, hoping for top 10K fingers crossed!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm looking for the same answer if I take a hit this week. 🙂

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gabbiadini, Benteke, Vardy and Afobe all look good. Really tempted by Afobe.

  21. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hennessey Pickford
    Gibson Bailly Vertonghen (Holgate Stephens)
    Alli Zaha Sanchez King (De Roon)
    Lukaku Kane Negredo

    Plan was to do Negredo > Gabbi this week then Zaha > Hazard the next. But if Hazard rises tonight, leaves me with exact cash. Pull the trigger now or wait still?

  22. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know how serious the Pogba injury is, is a transfer out?

  23. flippetyflop
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm going Negredo to Gabbiadini but is anything worth a -4?

    De Gea Pickford

    Valencia Yoshida Davies Mustafi Holgate

    Sanchez Sane Son Zaha De Roon

    Kane Origi Negredo

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

    It is damn tempting to leave sanchez out of wildcard. Get Ozil instead

    Would be able to get a frontline of vardy kane costa then and have a team full of definite starters.

    Pickford the only non dgw player

    1. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pick has dgw

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

        Jayus I did not even notice that!
        That even seals the deal even more

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If Sanchez is going back to striker, then he's gotta be in the WC team.

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

        Maybe but the benefits of that 2m might be worthwhile elsewhere

  25. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So I am down to Hazard or Gabbi this week before I wildcard. Think I have decided on Hazard. He rise in price tonight and he looks really sharp. Southampton faces Hull who will fight for their life. Gabbi is an excellent choice but I think Hazard wins this one. Just. Comments?

    1. Peter Russo

      whos your other st? depends on that

      • 13 Years

      The best i can hope for realistically is a top 10 finish if things go my way
      Dreams of pulling off the miracle are fading

  27. Petr Cech the Table
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who to get in as striker alongside if I don't have WC

    Kane - Gabbiadini
