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.

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Just did Negredo -> Gabbi

      Because Negredo well... oh no I'm singing again

      He blanks every week.... He blanks every weeeeeeek.. Alvaro Negredo, he blanks every week.

    3. matiakez
      • 14 Years

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Are you?

  3. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Rashford TC got 9 points 😆 My ml leader was making fun of me when Kun got 27 😛

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      😆

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Karma 😀

  5. FISSH
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Negredo > Gabi
    Coutinho > Sane (dont fancy Pool)

    Or

    Negredo > Jesus/Aguero

  6. FFPro
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    DDG Valencia Bailly

    23 odd points today

    1. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      DDG + Bailly here

  7. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    On WC, which combo player will be best 3rd striker and 5th midfield till end of season?
    A. Anichebe + King
    B. Gabbi + Fletcher or Capoue

  8. Rover
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Another WC35 draft. BB36 and TC37 planned. Thoughts please.

    Cech / Pickford
    Bailly / Rose / Daniels / Yoshida / Maguire
    Sanchez / Hazard / Alli / Firmino / King
    Kane / Gabbi / Benteke

    1. Crow
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nice. I think one more city and you're set

      1. Rover
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks! I'll either do Benteke > Jesus or King > Sane in 37 depending on their lineups over the next two weeks. Today didn't really help in deciphering Pep's thinking. Although Jesus was indeed influential in the few minutes that he played.

  9. Crow
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Pickford-Valdes

    Vertonghen-Valencia-Ranocchia-(Stephens-Bernardo*)

    Sanchez-Alli-Hazard-Coutinho-King

    Lukaku-Kane-(Gestede)

    Here's the plan:
    Lukaku&Bernardo > Jesus&Kompany

    Yay or nay?

  10. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Valencia owners, u selling or keeping ?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Stuck for Swansea. Banished after.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking of selling > Blind to fund Tadic > Hazard

    3. Crow
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Why would anyone sell?

    4. GE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping because no WC left

    5. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keep for Swansea, bin on WC

  11. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    No United defenders... GW fail....

  12. GE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    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

  13. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A) Haz and Jesus
    B) Sane and Costa

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. drokkeh
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

  14. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months 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
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely!

    2. matiakez
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah you'll do it I reckon.

    3. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Could easily catch him!

      1. MGD
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah you got this

  15. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hindsight is annoying

    Sanchez and lukaku score less than bavies

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

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

  16. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months 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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. StormYouDown
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen.... Alli on fire.

    3. Donhush
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Do you have Sanchez?

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No. why does that matter?

        1. Donhush
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

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

    4. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months 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
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah that's why I'm thinking

  17. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero look lively tonight?

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      lots of chances. most off target

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thx

  18. 404_FC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    and bailley keep playing ???

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Valencia is always at rest.

  19. pug_chops
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      1 then 2

      1. pug_chops
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Or 4. King

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      1

  20. Berna1985
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months 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
      8 years, 7 months ago

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

  21. StormYouDown
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kompany if he stays fit

  22. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Vincent Kompany still has it 🙂

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. AA33
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah! 🙂

      • HashAttack

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        How many times do you intend to repeat your GW score tonight ?
        Just better do it a few more times just incase a few people miss it.

    4. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

    5. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

    8. Bainesill
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

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

    9. UnitedFan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        could be burnt out

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months 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
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

      4. HashAttack
        • 8 Years
