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.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

    Which 2 would you play this week from?

    Bavies Stephens Valencia Gabriel?

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

      Stephens and Gabriel

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Bench the Soton lads imo.

    3. willgriggsonfire

      Bavies+Gabriel
      Stephens first sub.

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

    Which is the better option for my 4th/5th midfielders:

    a) Sane & Albrighton

    or

    b) King & Herrera

    Thanks

    TC this week with Sanchez or BB

    Bench Boast
    Pickford Luiz Holgate Pedro

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

      TC.
      I too am doing it.

    2. 1Banksy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      TC Sanchez and BB next week. That's what I'm doing

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Where does Cesc end up? Linked with United and Liverpool today.

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Don't think they'll sell to a PL rival.

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

      I don't see Chelsea getting rid of him unless he wants to force a move. They have a very small squad and next year they will also have Champions League. Fabregas will play a lot more next year.

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

      Not looking very likely.

  6. WVA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Play
    A. DDG away at Arsenal
    B. Pickford away at Hull
    Thanks

    1. Beavis

      Big Dave. United away form is incredible.

  7. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    WC comes down to this
    A: Kosc, King, Alli, Costa
    B: Monreal, Pedro, Sané, Kane

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      A

    2. WVA

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

      Monreal, King, Alli, Kane affordable?

    4. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      A

  8. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    People with front 8s somewhat similar to the below, who are you benching?

    Haz Sanchez King Eriksen Sane

    Kane Gabbi Jesus

    1. KANTEnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Got the same front 8. I'm using AoA

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Not possible when having WC active though..

        1. KANTEnders
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          I'd go with gabbi then.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Downgrade Sane, upgrade Gabbi.

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

      I'd bench Sane.

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

      Kos

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years

      Kosc better.

  12. KANTEnders

    • 9 Years

    Bottomed.
    Alli > Sanchez for a hit. Yay or nay?
    (Only got eriksen other than him from spurs)

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

      Sure.

    2. 1Banksy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      For a hit it's a close call. I probably stick and bring in Sanchez next week based on form.

  13. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Play one

    1)Daniels
    2)Gabbiadini
    3) Kompany

    Hi all,

    Need a little assistance.

    Wc last week with next week in mind, but with Kun potentially injured and no Sanchez scaring the bejeasus out of me I have a dilema. I actually for the first time all season like my team this week and it's just missing a bit of Arsenal.

    Willy (Pickford)
    Alonso Huth Yoshida (Blind Kelly)
    Ali Hazard King Redmond (Zaha)
    Kun Vardy Gabbiadini

    I have also not used my TC chip yet and my BB is set for next week.

    I only have 0.3 left also...

    Any suggestions..

    Keep......hold and save??

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

      Keep. Although triple Soton is a risk given their form. But yeah it could pay off.
      TC in 38.

    Hi guys, when you use your wildcard does your FT carry over?

    1. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Nope!

  16. La Vida Latte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    A) Cech and Maguire
    B) Caballero and Gabriel

    Thnx!

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      MagCech

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      B

    3. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      I am torn. I am not convinced Gabriel will play that much. But if he does, I like it better.

  17. super zlatan
    • 15 Years

    Bottomed

    Thoughts on my WC team?

    Cech
    Alonso. Monreal. Yoshida
    Sanchez. Hazard. Alli. King
    Kane. Jesus. Gabbi

    Subs. Willy. Stephens. Capoue. Colgate

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      It is fine, 2 arsenal defence could pay off.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Only downside is capoue but no funds for anyone else.

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      I like it.

      If you think Pedro isn't a big risk then maybe Capoue and Gabbi to Pedro and Anichebe.

      The only change I can think of.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Thanks beavis. Not feeling the anichibi love.
        But cheers for suggestion

  18. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    I only have players from:

    Arsenal
    Chelsea
    Man City
    Spurs
    Southampton
    Sunderland

    Should I be worried ?

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Yes.

      You need Colgate in your life.

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Not worried about Colgate think Yoshi and co will out score next week

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Sunderland you should be worried, let me guess, Pickford? 😀

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Of course Pickford! An big A up front to bag me 4 points and maybe something against swans

  19. Champions united
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    play grant or pickford

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Grant not playing anymore

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Play grant and Pickford will come in anyway

  20. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Pickford has scored more than 2 points 16 times this season. Which is more than Cech has , despite Cech playing more games (30 vs 25). Hes also had more double digit hauls.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Cech is better option matey

    2. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      How many clean sheets have they each had?

  21. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Stephens (mid/MAN) or Olsson (sun) for GW37 only?

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Stephens

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Stephens

  22. Yome
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Imagine if Long starts ahead of Gabby this week, this site will go mental

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      imagine Gabbi scoring from the bench

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        He will stay firmly on the bench

  23. tbhogal
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Haz in for Coutinho worth for an 8 pt hit???

  24. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Final choice-

    A) Pickford, Monreal, Sane, Anichebe

    B) Cech, Vertonghan, Ndidi, Gabiadini

    Currently leaning towards B

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

      I dont fancy gabbiadini, so i would go A

    2. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      B

  25. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Really want a United Defender considering their Defensive Record,
    Darmian Best Option?
    Worth getting instead of Yoshida?
    (Have Steph)

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Blind/Bailly

      1. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Can't afford Bailly.
        Shaw out for the Season, so Darmian Nailed?
        Smalling and Jones returning means Blind has a rotation threat

  26. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    I don't see Dawson in any of the teams. He has difficult fixtures in 37 but not any worse than Huth who people here seem to like a lot. Dawson has a good scoring record and needless to say WBA under Pulis do know how to keep CSs.

    1. Jimjam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      They may know how to keep clean sheets, but they haven't really put it into practice

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      WBA are at the beach for 5 weeks now. They just don't seem to care a much as Leicester do atm.

  27. Dunkin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    RMT (0,2 ITB)
    On wildcard.

    Caballero - Pickford
    Yosh - Stephens - Holgate - Monreal - Davies
    Pedro - Hazard - Alli - King - Sanchez
    Anichebe - Kane - Jesus

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Davies is a rotation doubt
      Rest looks good

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

        Thanks for input. Any ideas on who to replace him with?

  28. JonGTFC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Drop one of Monreal/Yoshida/Huth/Maguire.

    I'm leaning towards Yoshi :/

    1. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Huth. Fancy Watford to score.
      Yoshi is guaranteed 3-4 points.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Tough, if u think Leicester and hull Cascand Southampton no CS then do it,

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Close between Huth and Yoshida. Toss a coin.

  29. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Too template?

    Caballero Pickford
    Koscielny Alonso Yoshida Stephens Holgate
    Alli Hazard Sané King Albrighton
    Kane Costa Jesus

    0.1 ITB

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Sanchez without is risk

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Looks fine.
      The template is only applicable round these parts anyway

  30. dhery
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Sanchez "TC" (MUN,sou)
    y or no ?

    (plan GW37 "BB")

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      I would put it on him if I were you yeah

      1. dhery
