You get your Wildcard active, and we’ll do the maths. Or rather Jonty will.

This week’s ScoutCast gets highly technical as my aforementioned co-host goes all Rachel Riley on us (wishful thinking) and attempts to bewilder with a cheeky little algorithm he’s just happened to have rustled up.

Attempting to cut through the noise of the forthcoming double Gameweeks, Andy and Luke join me while Jonty gives his numbers an airing via another round of your targeted queries.

We chew over Gabbiadini’s demise, assess the Gameweek 37 potential offered by Spurs and Chelsea and, yet again, make another assessment of a slumbering Sanchez.

The end result all leads to the ScoutCast Wildcard template squad, as Big Vic crashes in and Luke stands alone in shunning Arsenal’s Chilean timebomb.

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

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

    Anyone with a guess at what the ownership of Jesus will be in the top 10k?

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

      Above 20%?

    2. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      1k at least

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I was thinking higher, 30-40% or so.

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

    Which trio?

    A) Kane + Hazard + Alli
    B) Kane + Hazard + Eriksen
    C) Costa + Alli + Eriksen

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

      I'd go A

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

        Why Alli over Eriksen?

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

          I believe his goal threat is better

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

          Alli and Kane better form away

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

      a

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not much between A and B, but both of those ahead of C imo.

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

      Thanks gents!

    5. Max City
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd pick B

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

    Would you make any changes to this team?

    Pickford - Caballero
    Alonso - Monreal - Yoshida - Stephens - Holgate
    Alli - Sanchez - Hazard - King - Albrighton
    Jesus - Kane - Costa

    1. NATSTER

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

    Best cheap mid, not over 5.0, for DGW37 ?

    A: Albrighton
    B: Ndidi
    C: Capoue
    D: Ndong

    Max out quota of Southampton, Spurs, and Chelsea.

    1. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years

      Albrighton

    2. Sahil Yadav

  5. Sahil Yadav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Would you do Firmino to Ozil for a -4 for one week since i'll be doing Firmino to Hazard next. If i get ozil then it will be Firmino -> Ozil -> Hazard

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

        cheers for getting back to me

    2. kumast
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No cash.

    3. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No. Good to go

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

    Thinking of taking anichibe instead of Gabb and using cash to change Pick to Cech giving me Cech and Willy, and then playing King in a 3-5-2. Anyone thinking the similar?

    Basically in 37 will Cech + King outscore Willy + Gabb?

    1. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yep same here. Thinking of selling gab for anichebe to improve squad

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

        Anyone else?

        Gabb is such a big fat uncertainty. Might not even play both games.

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

      I've done something similar.

      Went with Costa, Eriksen and Anichebe over Kane, Hazard and Gabbi allowing me to have a back 7 of Willy, Cech, Alonso, Cahill Koscielny, Vertonghen, Yoshida.

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

        I take it your chasing?

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

          Nope, i'm leading my ML and sitting at 3k OR.

          If were to have Kane, Haz and Gabbi I would be stuck with defenders/GK's that are rotation risks or have terrible fixtures (Gabriel, Stephens, Holgate, Pickford etc) alongside a couple premium picks.

          The team i've gone with allows me to have more nailed players in my side, plus I think defenders will perform well over the next couple weeks

  9. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A) JWP/Albrighton + Monreal

    Or

    B) King + Gabriel

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

      B as long as Gabriel plays.

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

      A, but dont know which mid

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      The one with King beats any combination

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

    On a WC:

    A) Cech > Willy | Monreal > Kos
    B) Cech > Willy | Monreal > Kos | Albrighton > JWP
    C) Stick

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

      a

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

    A) Caballero and Vertonghen

    B) Foster (WBA) and Monreal

    Currently have zero Arsenal defenders/GK

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

      Can't you go Pickford instead of Foster? B regardless

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Other GK is Pickford

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

          That makes a lot of sense haha.

  12. tm370

    What time are price changes guys?

    1. kumast

  13. Reggie Nainggolan
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance of Ake playing?

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

      If it were reasonably high, I presume everyone would have him. So on that basis, I guess it's not reasonably high. Unless you only care about this week, then I don't know

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

    davies oshea stenphes holgate alonso

    is my defence too weak?

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

      Upgrade O'Shea and it's decent.

  15. Haz84
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    best 3 TC options till the end of the season ?
    I think :
    1- Hazard GW37
    2- Kane GW37
    3- Hazard GW38

    cant fit Ssnchez into it .. what do you think ?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard GW38 - forget about it if Chelsea have wrapped up the league. If you don't have bench boost GW37 is the obvious one.

  16. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Need a cheap filler to bench boost in 37, but which one?

    A) Morrison
    B) T.Carroll

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years

    2. YTUMAMMA

    Who do I bench out of Sane, Pedro, King and JWP? I guess JWP but his dgw is tempting

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

      JWP, might not even be a DGW for him.

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

      JWP.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm benching JWP and Stephens this week

  23. janowsc
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone looking at kolarov or any other man city as an option?

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

      I would go Kompany if I had 7 or 8 Defender slots

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pep is too unpredictable with the backline.

      Otherwise a great shout.

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

      Whats not to like about Willy? Perfect fit.

    4. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years

      Only city def I'd go with is Caballero

    Pedro or King?

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

      King > every mid bar Sanchez, Hazard, Alli & Eriksen.

    2. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Tough one. Pedro just but try have king as 5th mid

    3. Deulofail

      Pedro

    4. Forza Papac

      Do you have Costa or Hazard?

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

        Have just hazard and I'm also chasing mini league leader who already has king

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

          Go with King

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

        Irrelevant

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

      King

  28. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A) Cech, Vert, Romeu/Capoue
    B) Caballero, Monreal, Albrighton

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A with Capoue

  29. Manani
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Alli King Sanchez Sane Hazard
    Kane Anichebe Jesus

    I need to downgrade a bit to get someone money to upgrade my defence

    who should I downgrade?

    1. dark91
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Alli if you have to, but i wouldn't

      1. Manani
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        my defence is

        Hennesy Cabllero
        Alonso Davies Stephens 3.9m 4.0m

        I will need at least .5m or so

        1. dark91
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          You can downgrade Alonso, or Sanchez to Ozil or just Sane to someone cheaper since you got Jesus anyway

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

      Alli to Eriksen is ready made for you. Though for me I downgraded Sanchez and King
