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.

    With Bravo likely dead:

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

    Thanks

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

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

    Thugs 😉

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

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

      City deserved yellows tonight, Atkinson bottled it

  3. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months 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
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Jak
      Valencia Maguire Brunt
      Eriksen JWP Coutinho Firmino
      Aguero Benteke Kane
      Grant | Bavies, Siggy, Mawson

  4. samaael

    best differential striker for one week?

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

      Gabbi only owned by 4% or Jesus 0.6%

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus or Vardy I guess

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Gabbi

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

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

  6. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months 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.

  7. HashAttack
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months 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
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Didn't look good, Willy is back.

    2. vectorman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm wondering the same.

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

      Could be surprise injuries but go for it Flynny.

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

      Liverpool have only 4 games left.

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

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

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

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

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

    No WC here, but my front three going into the remaining GW's will be Jesus, Benteke and Gabbiadini 🙂

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

      No Kane?

    2. gunthourinho
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No Kane, no chance

    3. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      lightweight

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

      I have Alli and Eriksen. They offer value, but perhaps not the captaincy.

    5. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus looks a solid pick, even from the bench.

  12. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Thank you Ibra! His injury forced me Caballero & Ibra out for De Gea and Benteke for a -4 hit.

    89 points for the week before BPS. My ML is now wide open and I have a chance at long last

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

      Ha, similar! I was "forced" to do Valdes > DDG and Ibra > Benteke(c)

      1. I Have No Idea What I'…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Ibrahimovic still doing the business.

        Benteke though. I'm a Villa fan so know how good he can be, but looking at his points tally this season, do you feel as lucky as me this game week?

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

          Given the fixtures, yes, but look at his form going into the DGW. Palace were (and are still) on a roll so I was happy giving him the armband.

          I'm learning with each season I play this game, and I try to remember to go with form over fixtures (brilliant if you can get form and fixtures, of course).

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nice one, well done. I only bought Benteke due to Ibra's injury too.

  13. Assist me a river
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    RMT please. 0.0 in the bank. Thoughts?

    Hennessey/ Pickford
    Holgate, Stephens, Darmian, Cahill, Gabriel
    Alexis, Hazard, Eriksen, King, JWP
    Kane, Vardy, Gabbiadini

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      6

  14. HD7
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Does Baily get a bonus point?

    1. AA33
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No 🙁

      • Pariße
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He looked the best defender on the pitch in a goalless draw. Funny system.

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

      People reckon Jesus will start on Sunday?

      I can't see it after only getting 10 minutes under his belt.

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

        So Iheanacho then? 😆

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

          Kun wasn't that bad 😉

    3. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Claudio Bravo has ended his city career in glory after achieving his ultimate ambition of catching the ball

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

        He is an absolute clown

      2. Legomane
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Caballero nailed?

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

        yeah but the effort finished him off

      4. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I feel a Hollywood movie coming

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

      Pickford
      Alonso Valencia Pieters
      Sanchez Alli Eriksen Siggy
      Kane Lukaku Benteke
      (Heaton ASmith Gibson TCarroll)

      1 FT 0.0 ITB

      A. WC a week early.
      B. Siggy > King/Arnie/?
      C. Lukaku > ?
      D. B or C + Heaton > deGea (-4)

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

      Is this too light at the back?

      Cech Pick
      Alonso Yoshida Stephens Holgate Maguire
      Sanchez Haz Eriksen King Albrighton
      Kane Jesus Gabby

    6. GreenArrows
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      How did Sane look?

      Was thinking Walcott > Sane GW 35 and Zaha > Ozil GW 36

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Looked tired tonight

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

          Maybe keep Walcott and roll the transfer over then

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

      One week punt before WC?

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

      Jak
      Valencia Maguire Brunt
      Eriksen JWP Coutinho Firmino
      Aguero Benteke Kane
      Grant | Bavies, Siggy, Mawson

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

      Negredo >> Aguero for FT no brainier isn't it 🙂

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

        Jesus disagrees.

    9. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      WTF is Etisalat. Lol #ot

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

        It's the green stuff you get with your lunch when you fly Etihad

    10. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone with triple United defence and TC on one of them? There's always that one nutter...

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        One in my ML had triple utd at the back, and captained Benteke.

      2. liner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        pfff not me. Just bailly and DDG (C)

      3. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Had double (not captained) but I'm tempted to get Blind in and have it as a one week punt before wc

    11. JoshHuntCUFC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Forster Pickford
      Monreal Vertonghen Yoshida Kone Holgate
      Sanchez Hazard Alli Capoue Fletcher
      Kane Jesus Gabbi

      2x Arsenal, 3x Southampton for DGW 36 - Sanchez TC

      14x DGWers for DGW 37 - Bench Boost

      What do we reckon?!

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

      Benteke or Gabbs this GW ?

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

        Both? Last week for me holding Tekkers but I'm thinking of bringing in Gabs as well

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

          Can only get one of them, Keeping Lukaku for one more GW.

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Gabby, Burnley no mugs.

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

          Neither are Hull tbh

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

        Exact dilemma - I think both hull and Burnley will put up a good fight! Annoyingly a coin toss!

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

      Got 2FT lads and no WC.

      Hows this for a -4:

      Lukaku+Barragan+Jagielka > Gabbiadini+Kompany+Bailly (-4)

      Gives me:
      Hennessey
      Alonso Kompany Bailly
      Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen
      Kane Benteke Gabbiadini
      (Pickford Zaha Yoshida Holgate)

    14. pakornk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Listening to Mou's post match interview, seems like he's going to rest players against Swansea. Saying that they have the most important match against Celta.

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        You surprised?

      2. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, curious how the defense will look. Who do you figure is most nailed, Blind or Bailly?

      3. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Expected news

    15. roghippo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      1 word for this DGW....

      Flacid

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

        Haul

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

        semi

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

        Depressing.

    16. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Who is more nailed for next game, Blind or Bailly?

      1. AA33
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Blind

        • Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Bailly for seniority, but FM can replace.

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

            He's injured

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              From tonight's few min's? The other guy Tuanzebe can cover.

      2. gunthourinho
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        When you are so far ahead in your mini league that you consider taking a -20 hit just to make it interesting....
