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.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Haz and Jesus
    B) Sane and Costa

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. drokkeh
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

  2. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    33 points left to catch up my ML leader. He got no chips left.

    I still have WC, TC, BB. Any chance for me to win it lads?

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely!

    2. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah you'll do it I reckon.

    3. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Could easily catch him!

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

        Yeah you got this

  3. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hindsight is annoying

    Sanchez and lukaku score less than bavies

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Benched Holgate and Eriksen for Barragan and Zaha who both had two games....

  4. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard coming in, do I get rid of Eriksen or Alli?

    Thinking Eriksen at the moment, Alli playing like a 2nd striker.

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

      You got Kane? I'd drop alli he's more money

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        0.2 though. I'm fine for funds. I have Kane too.

    2. StormYouDown
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen.... Alli on fire.

    3. Donhush
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Do you have Sanchez?

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No. why does that matter?

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

          Was going to suggest getting rid of Sanchez instead of a spurs attacker

    4. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alli just because of his ownership imo. But, Eriksen is all around better pick than Alli imho.

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that's why I'm thinking

  5. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero look lively tonight?

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

      lots of chances. most off target

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thx

  6. 404_FC
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    so valencia will be rest

    and bailley keep playing ???

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia is always at rest.

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

    Best 1 week punt before WC?
    1. Coutinho
    2. Gabbiadini
    3. Benteke

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

      1 then 2

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

        Or 4. King

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1

  8. Berna1985
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku, Negredo --> Costa, Gabbiadini (-4) is a good idea? I have already Alli and Zaha so I prefer don't buy Kane and Benteke

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

      Could pay off although we all know what Lukakus home form is like

  9. StormYouDown
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kolarov or Kompany - Who would get the most game time?

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kompany if he stays fit

  10. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Vincent Kompany still has it 🙂

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Might bring him in for a one week punt against Middlesbrough...guaranteed CS 🙂

    2. AA33
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah! 🙂

      • HashAttack
        • 9 Years

        • 10 Years

        How many times do you intend to repeat your GW score tonight ?

    4. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero or Jesus then? Huge question especially with Borough coming up

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kun as hes match fit, see him starting vs mid.

    5. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1. Crow

      3. Rainer

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kane or punting on KDB or Gabbi.

      4. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm between Hazard or Kane

    8. Bainesill
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Get in King for damage control or do the maverick Afobe transfer?

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

      Sane getting taken off a good thing or a bad thing?

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

        He looked a bit tired didn't he? Has started a lot of games recently. I don't know if Pep can afford to rest him this weekend though.

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

        he's due a rest. could come against boro next gw

      4. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Think he's normally first off as he plays each game

        Could be rested for 'boro but after a draw tonight, City has to ensure a win

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Relative dream 😉

    12. wotwot
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For DGWs
      A) Bailly, Monreal & Sane
      Or
      B) Blind, Gabriel & Eriksen

      Have Alli & Kane but dont have any city players

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

        A

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

      Baps final? or will there be changes

      1. ♤TeddyBear♤
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Changes

    14. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Which combo?

      A) Anichebe and King

      B) Afobe and Pugh

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        AAAAAAAA

    15. trimmtrabb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How nailed do we reckon Sane is for the rest of the season? hasn't had many returns of late and Sterling might take some of his mins when Silva comes back?

      And Valencia owners - what to you reckon the chances are he starts on Sunday? I doubt it myself.

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

        Jesus will be starting now so no clue

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

        I think Darmain or even shaw will play.

        It sickens me that I do not have Bailly

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

      That Jeff Shreeves is a terrible interviewer it is like he is trying to lead children with questions.

      'Are you happy?

      In a way does that red card make it a better win?'

      There is a program called 'School around the Corner' in Ireland where children are interviewed.

      It is very similar to that.

    17. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      will sterling play against boro? or who should I replace with at city

    18. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For every game Bailly starts, I'm expecting him to get rested the next...

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

        He has not much other options unless smalling and jones play on two legs between them

    19. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't take a hit for a keeper ? Well I bought DDG in for a hit in GW30.

      Since then him and Heaton have given me a Clean Sheet for the past 5 GW's

      42 points in total over the past 5 weeks, so 8 points per game average.

      Taking a hit for a keeper ? Definitely worth it. Another FF myth well and truly broken.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I did Jaku ➡ DDG for a hit this GW 😀

        1. Patio Kev
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Nice one, glad it paid off for you, feels good when it does.

      2. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kudos. Took -4 for Negredo and DDG myself this week. Keep telling myself I took it for DDG 🙂

        1. Patio Kev
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Think DDG will work out for rest of the season, looks nailed for Prem games whilst Romero plays Europa League.

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

            It has been the way forward until now, at least. Of course I wonder now if DDG will play this weekend... but keepers don't get tired, do they? 😉 And romero seems confident in EL

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

        Yeah it is bull.
        You take a hit where you think it will get your more points simple as that!

        1. Guru Mediation
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          The odds of it paying off for defenders is reduced because the upside is much smaller. It's not bull

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

            It is because a defender could be involved in a 0-0, get bonuses, or the defender could get an assist if an attacking full back, it only 'feels' like the odds are much smaller.
            It is all in the biases of the human mind taking over.

            1. Guru Mediation
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Rubbish sorry. The word "could" is what is operative here. The bias is based on simply playing the odds, which is a huge part of the game. Sometimes you roll the dice and get lucky though, sometimes your defender/gk are injured and need to be removes for a hit of course

      4. Guru Mediation
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who did u take out for ddg?

        1. Patio Kev
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Foster, had him and Heaton since GW1, always buy good keepers for the long term.

          Ironically he kept a clean sheet the week I took him out but I would have played Heaton over him anyway (who didn't keep a clean sheet) if I hadn't taken a hit for DDG.

          1. Guru Mediation
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            "ironic" lol. So you've disproven your point perfectly well

    20. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What to do with:

      A - Zaha
      B - Kaku?

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

        King and Jesus

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

      What is now the template for front 3 in a gw36 wildcard to bb37?

      How long does Jesus have to play v Boro for people to draft him in?

      People still looking at Kane Jesus gabbi?

      Thanks
