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.

    2FT / 0.3ITB / WC / BB / TC

    Pickford (Heaton)
    Alonso / Chambers / Yoshida (Davies / Amat)
    Sanchez / Alli / Sigurdsson / King (Ward-Prowse)
    Kane (C) / Lukaku (V) / Benteke

    Do I WC this week?!? And if I do who do I lose...

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

      If not WC this week? You planning to do it next week? When you plan to TC?

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

        Had planned this week but not sure now as team looks good and have 2FTs. TC GW36 (Sanchez?), BB GW37 and WC GW8?

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

      If you WC this week you can have Sanchez as TC option who has a DGW36 and then Bench Boost in DGW37

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

        I have Sanchez. WC GW38?

  4. Twisted Saltergater

    So, Lukaku > Jesus?

    Was Jesus ok at the end of the game? I thought I saw him wince and limp, but don't know if it was a momentary thing.

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

      Would be surprised if Jesus started at Boro. Wouldn't be surprised if he outscored Kun though. Too risky for me.

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

        Nonsense. Jesus is nailed on to start at Boro.

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

      Looked sharp. Got a goal disallowed.

      Just done this myself, had 0.7 left on my WC for a bit of flexibility and Pickford suddenly became Willy 🙂

    Re post as at end of last article

    City

    Kun seems to have hand injury
    Sane looked poor and probably rested next week
    Caballero may be best keeper for double week at 4.7m
    De Bruyne looks best player
    Sterling too greedy and can't score
    Jesus did not get enough time to tell and was he limping at end

    United
    De Gea and Bailly look only 2 worth investing in.
    Rashford looked done in. Perhaps carrying a knock as well
    Valencia good but gametime unclear

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

      So caballero, kdb, bailly the choices for 36 37? Cheers

  7. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years

    Who would you sell to get Hazard, Alli or Sanchez ?

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

      Hazard

      1. Totally !rre!evant
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        lel. Sanchez

  8. wagner is king
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    who to bench....?
    king away to sun
    zaha home to burn
    sanchez away to spurs
    lukaku home to chelsea

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

      Zaha

  9. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ward-Prowse and Gabbiadini in for Son and Barnes (-4)?

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

    Kaku and Zaha ➡ Jesus and Sanchez for a -4?

  11. Here's Tom with the We…
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    On WC

    Caballero Pickford
    Baiily Monreal Gabriel Yoshida Stephens
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King
    Kane Gabbi Jesus

    Defence to lightweight??

    TC 36 bb37

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

      Too early for Jesus imo

      you think you're light at the back lol

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I think he'll be firing by 37 though. Was planning on Sane but can't decide to get rid of Alli or Eriksen

    2. Das Phantom
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How bad is Bravo's injury?
      Won't he come back for doubles?
      Great team. I have similar with Costa instead of Jesus.
      My rival got 102 points this round against mine 54. Now he leads by 30. I am gutted and need to draw the wildcard this tound.
      It is a great battle with him. We were both in top 4k before this round...

  12. Cocky Spaniel Alves

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Draft

    Caballero Pick
    Gabriel Vertonghen Stephens Yoshida Holgate
    Haz Sane Eriksen King Sanchez
    Costa Gabbi Kane

    too light at the back or can I get away with it?

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

      Sexy

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

        might be w/o brains though, needs balance

    2. Dee Lixon
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Benching might be hard?

      1. Torres76
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nice team

        1. Torres76
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No Coutinho ?

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

    Coutinho, Hazard, Alli, Zaha
    Lukaku, Gabi, Kane(C)

    Or

    Coutinho, Hazard, Alli, Zaha
    Aguero(C), Gabi, Kane with (-4)

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

      I bet boro will play their defensive game regardless of relegation

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

      B

    3. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years

        ddg and bailly?

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

    Lost on first page - please help? 🙂

    Gtg or do Siggy -> Sane (-4)? Or something else?

    (0 FT, 5.2 itb - no WC left, Bench boost in GW37)

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Valencia/Baines/Robertson (Gibson, Chambers)
    Sanchez/Alli/Tadic/Towsend (Siggy)
    Kane/Benteke/Gabbiadini

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

      I still have no clue about that move lol.

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

        Hmm..maybe just keep then, Siggy is anyway easy to bench this GW 😉 probably better for me to do that move next week because bringing in Sane now would probably result in benching Towsend home against Hull..

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

          Sounds good.

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

      I think Sane could be rested next GW. He looked tired. Mazbe for GW 36-37 but not for next GW. But thats just me...

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

        Could be 😉 Thanks

  18. Big_Bear
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If you had a 41 point lead in ML would you go out of your way to mirror 2nd place or just go with the optimum transfer?

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

      Stick to your guns.

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

        Cheers, will do. Not sure what my guns are though!

        1 week transfer who's the best defender in?

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

          Bailly for me

  19. AA33
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Final baps

      De Gea - 3
      Kompany - 3
      Kolarov - 1
      Zabaleta - 1

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

        Is it definitely final?

        1. AA33
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yes. Earlier Otamendi was at 28, now he's at 27.

      2. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        My two mini league rivals have a 55 point lead I need to catch. They have both used their wildcard earlier, and mine is activated now. They both have Sanchez, so I have him as a kind of insurance. How is this looking going forward?

        Pickford Foster
        Alonso Gabriel Huth Yoshida Davies
        Sanchez Hazard Sane Alli Ward-Prowse
        Kane Gabbiadini Rashford

        Any input appreciated!

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

          No to rashford, utd have hard away games coming up.& i reckon he will be rested due to europa

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

          Try with rashford to afobe. think he is good differential considering the price (only 5.5-5.6) and upgrade ward-prowse with redmond, ox, zaha, or some other dgw37 player

      3. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        With Bravo likely dead:

        1. DDG
        2. Big Willy (frees up 0.7)

        Thanks

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

          If dead, 2 or Cech. If not, Cech.

        Seven of the eight red cards given in this Premier League fixture have been for Manchester United players.

        1. jam

          City deserved yellows tonight, Atkinson bottled it

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

        One week punt before WC?

        A) Kun > Jesus/someone else
        B) Siggy > Sane/Arnie (bench JWP (HUL))
        C) Eriksen > Sane/Arnie/Silva

        1. Deulofail

          Jak
          Valencia Maguire Brunt
          Eriksen JWP Coutinho Firmino
          Aguero Benteke Kane

      6. samaael

        best differential striker for one week?

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

          Gabbi only owned by 4% or Jesus 0.6%

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

          Jesus or Vardy I guess

        3. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Gabbi

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

        Valencia averages 6.6/ppm in my team. Just a pity he has missed half the matches since buying him...

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

        20 points on my bench. Negredo (c). Meh, I'll take my 60 points. Didn't expect half that the way the weekend went.

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

        is Bravo injured or just a knock .. looked innocent enough but they went overboard with the stretcher etc.

        If Willy is the nailed on goalie then he's very tempting

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Didn't look good, Willy is back.

        2. vectorman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm wondering the same.

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

        Is there any reason for me not to bring in coutinho tonight?

        He's on the verge or rising....

        Thanks

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Could be surprise injuries but go for it Flynny.

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

            I'm panicking netley.

            Been leading mini league comfortably for months and lead now down to 15 points.

            Wildcard in 36.

            Need to decide to being in benteke coutinho or gabbi.

            Rival has the first 2...

        2. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 9 Years

          Liverpool have only 4 games left.

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

        which one is better
        1. get Sanchez 35, 36, 37
        2. hazard 35, switch to Sanchez 36

      12. Numb

        Anyone know who was named MOTM? Didn't notice. Thanks
