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.

    How many games will monreal play out for the two dGW?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      2 x 90mins at least. and maybe a 60 and 30 depending on fitness

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 2 months ago

      3? Four games in 10 days; they could all get rotated.

  2. GaMBa

    Hi all,
    Who would you play this gw?
    1. Sane
    2. Pedro
    Thx.

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sane. I'm scared that I don't own him

    2. 1Banksy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sane, think he is just about more likely to start

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Pedro. If he starts he's more ability to get hauls. Sane doesnt do hauls.

    4. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Pedro.
      I think he will start.

    5. JonGTFC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Pedro for me, Chelsea more likely to go into party mode and get a hatful.

      (I'm playing both and benching King :scared:)

  3. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    w/c 36 b/b 37

    must have a dozen the same as everyone else on here,but in my m/l im the only one left with w/c and b/b,scout really does distort things and I now think anyone with this sort of squad is going to make a huge leap in the rankings over the next two gameweeks.

    cech
    alonso / gabriel /bavies
    sane / sanchez (c) /hazard / alli
    jesus / gabbi / kane

    willy / stephens / yoshida / kante

    good luck all...

    1. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nice team for BB.

  4. Champions united
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    who to captain
    1)Sanchez
    2)kane
    3)hazard

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez if leading
      Hazard if chasing

      1. Champions united
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        behind by nearly 100 points from my GL 🙁

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          then captain whoever the one above you isn't

    2. Mesh
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1

    3. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      1

    4. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      sanchez ,4 games,16 points minimum without a y/c over 2 weeks,biggest no brainer of the season...

  5. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Strawpoll ladies.

    Start Gabriel or Yosh? (Starting Monreal & Alonso)

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you're on WC get rid of Gabriel and use funds elsewhere.

    2. Lanzini girls just want to …
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      吉田 (Yoshida)

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yosh. Spread the risk, etc

    4. BALOOO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yoshi, but if you end up not playing Gabriel this GW, i would get rid completely.

      1. Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        But he can keep and find out Arsenal formation with Mustafi in the team? He might keep his place if Wenger plays 3 at the back. Arsenal's fixtures in 37 look good.

    5. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yosushi

    6. 1Banksy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I like the Arsenal double up but Yosh is a more sensible pick.

    7. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Same here but with Stephens.
      I am going double Arsenal.

    8. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Mustafi ain't going to start two games after being out so long and only just going back to full training regardless of what team news says . Can't see UTD scoring many weak sure or not. I'd double on arsnal

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        *side

    9. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      gabriel

    10. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yoshida

  6. Mesh
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which is better?

    A. Sane, Montreal, Anichebe

    B. King, Gabriel, Gabbiadini

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Lanzini girls just want to …
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sane king Montreal look best imo

      1. Mesh
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Not an option I'm afraid

        1. Lanzini girls just want to …
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          B then because Gabriel isn't nailed on and gabbi has terrible form/ fixtures and underlying stats lately

    3. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A because of Gabriel

    4. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A

  7. willgriggsonfire
    • 9 Years

    Retrying with updated team.
    Jaku
    Monreal Alonso Gabriel
    Eriksen Sanchez(TC) Hazard(VC) King
    Jesus Kane Gabbiadini

    Cech*
    Alonso - Yoshida* - Monreal*
    Sanchez* (TC) - Hazard - Sane - King - JWP*

            Thanks Fossit 😀

    3. willgriggsonfire

      Looks good.
      Have you played your WC?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, last week....cheers Will

      2. willgriggsonfire
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, can be a big boost if your triple Soton gamble pays off.

    Jakup
    Smith Gabriel Alonso
    Tadic Alli Hazard(v) Sanchez(c)

    G2G?

    1. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years

      Sure.

  10. Indio
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I know we've all had our fill of template WC drafts, but if you could digest this one 'wafer-thin' mint of a team and suggest any improvements, I'd be very grateful.

    Czech/Willy
    Alonso, Vert, Yoshi, Stephens, Maguire
    Haz, Alexis, Alli, Sane, King
    Kane, Jesus, Anichebe

    Have 0.3M itb and maybe Maguire > Holgate or Vert > Bavies could to generate further cash — sure there's an upgrade somewhere I've missed! (Playing BB next week).

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nope if you thought Gabriel would start then grab him instead of Yoshi other then that absolutely fine

    2. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good for coming GWs.

      1. Indio
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks both, appreciate feedback.

  11. FPL Pillars

    Final team for WC:

    Cech / Willy
    Alonso Monreal Yosh / Stephens Holgate
    San(c)hez Hazard Ali King / Carroll
    Kane Costa Jesus

      Great team im jealous 🙂

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years

      How do you afford this team?

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        A lot of hits earlier in season that's how 😀

    4. willgriggsonfire
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Green arrow incoming.

  12. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Stoke haven't scored an away goal since GW21.

    Chucky D (c)

  13. fatherted
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    On a scale of 1-10, 1 being "BONKERS" and 10 being "GENIIUS"

    Thought on Kun+Ali to Sanchez and Jesus??

    If I'm to get Sanchez I have no one else to swap for other than Alu.

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd do it.

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      So long as you have Eriksen who is a better option than Alli anyway imo then go for it

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez and jesus.

      Can you not squeeze erik in somewhere instead

  14. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Have TC and BB unused. Have Sanchez this dgw too but TC on Hazard (MID) this gw... yes or no?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Put on Sanchez.

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely not TC on Sanchez. A compassionate normal Sanchez(c) is possible but looks unlikely for me at the moment

  15. JamesFG
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A) Sane + Gabriel
    B) Pedro + Monreal
    C) Pedro + Vertonghen

      Enjoy those 12 points.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        12 x 3 = 36

        I'll take it 😎

        1. Mark-O
          • 11 Years

          (2+2)*3=12 😎

    2. 1Banksy

      Augero's 9 is the target, I'm confident.

      1. Jafooli

    Jonty with his Pedro suggestion has given me a dilemma.

    B) Pedro, Daniels & Pickford
    C) Pedro, Holgate & Cech

      C

  20. timPgoodwin
    • 11 Years

    Any help welcomed on my WC team ....

    Cech - Pickford
    Alonso - Stephens - Monreal - Vert - Holgate
    Hazard - King - Eriksen - Sane - Ozil.
    Kane - Jesus - Anichebe

    Who to captain?

  21. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A lot of trams without Costa. Is that because of his price or better players out there?!

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Tickets too expensive I reckon.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        😀

    2. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe he goes by bus! 😉

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Because price. Most was haz and sanchez kane. By then its hard to fit costa in

    4. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say he's got enough money for his own transportation, therefore too expensive compared to hazard and Pedro on tandem bikes

    Ake nailing down two games in DGW37 would solve a whole heap of issues.

    Might even punt on him.....sure he'll play at least one game, and if they've won the title by then he could even play both, in preparation for next season.

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bold move cotton.

      I'd say you are asking ake to be ahead of terry and zouma, so I'm not so sure

  25. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    What would be considered a decent return from BB in 37 with 13 DGWers?

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      More then the average

  26. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone hoping that David Luiz is out for the remainder of the season?

  27. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Feel very iffy about Sanchez (TC) this week (MUN, sot), when next week offers:

    Sanchez: sto, SUN
    Hazard: wba, WAT
    Jesus: LEI, WBA

    Anyone else feel similarly hesitant?

  28. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    whats looks best to do with this squad for 37 with no wildcard 1 FT and 0 ITB ?

    Jakupovic

    Alonso - Azpilicueta - Monreal

    Sanchez - Hazard - Coutinho - king

    Kane - Jesus - Gabbiadini

    Pickford - Stephens - Stones - Zaha

    A : Coutinho, Stones, Jakupovic > Sane, Holgate & Caballero (-8)
    B : Coutinho, Zaha, Stons, Jakupovic > Eriksen, JWP, Holgate & Caballero (-12)
    C : Other suggestions

  29. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    No WC, my front 8 is:

    Sanchez, Haz, Eriksen, King, (de Roon)
    Kane, Jesus, Benteke

    Is it worth a hit for Benteke (mci) > Costa (MID)?

    Chelsea are going to destroy them, aren't they?

    1. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      It's a 50:50 I would say and I own him... but Hazard on pens and more likely to be explosive. TC on Hazard this dgw - yay or nay?

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Well, you have to put it on someone this week, I'd do Sanchez if I were you.

        1. Mark-O
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Jose has good records against Wenger and Arsenal are poor on the road. Would rather TC a SGW player this gw or next week instead but I have an unused BB too

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Definitely BB next week of course

    2. lordkippe
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      no brainer imo. do you have the funds or do you need to sell someone ?

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Nah, I have the funds b.c I did Kun > Jesus earlier in the week, would just be a -4.
