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
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Above 20%?

    2. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      1k at least

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

  2. Nobodinho
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Which trio?

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

    1. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      I'd go A

      1. Nobodinho
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Why Alli over Eriksen?

        1. Fingerspitzengefühl
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          I believe his goal threat is better

        2. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          Alli and Kane better form away

    2. Manani
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      a

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

    4. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Thanks gents!

    5. Max City
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      I'd pick B

  3. Fingerspitzengefühl
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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
    9 years, 28 days 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

  5. Sahil Yadav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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

      No and gain 4 more points.

  6. Arctic monkeys

        cheers for getting back to me

    2. kumast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      No cash.

    3. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      No. Good to go

  8. kumast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

      1. kumast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Anyone else?

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

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days 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
        9 years, 28 days ago

        I take it your chasing?

        1. Forza Papac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 28 days 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
    9 years, 28 days ago

    A) JWP/Albrighton + Monreal

    Or

    B) King + Gabriel

    1. kumast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      B as long as Gabriel plays.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      A, but dont know which mid

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      The one with King beats any combination

  10. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    On a WC:

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

    1. Nazz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      a

  11. Heels_Over_Head
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    A) Caballero and Vertonghen

    B) Foster (WBA) and Monreal

    Currently have zero Arsenal defenders/GK

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Other GK is Pickford

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          That makes a lot of sense haha.

  13. Reggie Nainggolan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Any chance of Ake playing?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days 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
    9 years, 28 days ago

    davies oshea stenphes holgate alonso

    is my defence too weak?

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Upgrade O'Shea and it's decent.

  15. Haz84
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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
      9 years, 28 days 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
    9 years, 28 days ago

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

    A) Morrison

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

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      JWP, might not even be a DGW for him.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      JWP.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I'm benching JWP and Stephens this week

  23. janowsc
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

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

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Pep is too unpredictable with the backline.

      Otherwise a great shout.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Whats not to like about Willy? Perfect fit.

    4. Fingerspitzengefühl

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

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