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.

      I believe it's involves Anichebe upfront so I'm out 😆

    WC feedback please?! 0 ITB after ...

    Cech | Jaku
    Alonso | Monreal | Yoshida | Stephens | Kingsley
    Sanchez | Alli | Sane | King | Davies
    Kane | Costa | Jesus

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No hazard could hurt bad

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

    Cant decide between WC Team A or B. Feel Costa is essential but team with out more balanced

    A

    Willy, Pickford
    Alonso, Monreal, Stphens, Kone, Benalouane
    Sanchez, Alli, King, Hazard, Ndidi
    Jesus, Kane, Costa

    B

    Willy, Pickford
    Alonso, Monreal, Stephens, Davies, Holgate
    Alli, Hazard, Sane, King, Sanchez
    Gabbi, Kane, Jesus

    Thoughts?

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

      B for me

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

      Not sure about benaloune being nailed enough and kone could also miss a game as Sunderland have nothing to play for, all in all I think B looks better throughout, but only you can decide on how essential you think Costa is, I personally don't think he is with hazard cover by I'm probably going to be wrong 🙂

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

        Agree. If you really want costa, i would look at kane > costa, and sane > Eriksen if thats possible

  5. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Caballero Pickford
    Stephens Yoshida X X Holgate
    Sane X Sanchez Alli Hazard
    Gabbiadini Jesus Kane

    A) Vertonghen + Albrighton
    B) King + 4.8M defender (pick one)

    Thoughts guys?

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

      A

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      who's your other defender ?

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Oh sorry, it would be Cahill both times.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          B with Gabreil

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

    For those with TV under 104. What player choices do you hope will help you outperform managers with TV over 108?

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

      Going 4-4-2 with anichebe and albrighton as benchfodders. Hoping for clean sheets from a stronger defence

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

        This could be a decent shout

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm using Anichebe as an enabler, not expecting much from him but it does allow me to at least match those with higher TV's in the other positions.

  7. F4L
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    ugh got absolutely stitched up in my FUT monthly rewards; anyone get anything too on here?

      1. F4L
        • 10 Years

    RMWCT (no bench boost)
    Willy Jaku
    Alonso Kos Vert Yos Amat
    Sanchez Gazard Alli Sane King
    Kane Jesus Anichebe

    Is it worth having Costa over Kane for this week?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 15 Years

      Holgate over Amat

  10. La Di Da

    4. MTPockets

    7. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Couple of questions.

      A. How many attacking returns for Costa in the next 4 games?

      B. How many CS for Chelsea in the next 4 games?

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        i reckon 2 cs's. dont have an idea about dogface 🙂

      2. Anathallo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Would be disappointed with less than 3 clean sheets. Who knows about Costa, he tends not to be explosive but I am going to say 3 goals 2 assists. Could be anything though...

    8. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What are people's thoughts on John Stones from now till the season's end? If he is fit is his place safe? Could be a bargain at 4.6...

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        i think kompany took his place

    9. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      help me to deciede please:

      1. pickford, gabriel, huth, alexis, alli

      or

      2. cech, monreal, verthongen, ozil, eriksen

      Any news on Rashford...?

    11. JJO
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ake or Holding?
      Have to risk with 1 of those 2

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

        According to arsenal fan TV...the fans love holding and have no idea why Wenger isn't playing him, maybe he's worth the punt over ake? 😉

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

          This

        2. JJO
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks Garlana,that was my thinking too

    12. Jimjam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Valencia, Davies, Robertson, Stephens, Wilson

      No WC, 1.5 in bank

      How do I fix my defence? Considering Valencia & Wilson -> Cahill & Francis (and hope against hope to get more games out of Davies!)

    13. JimmyCoop
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Take your pick:

      a) Vertonghen
      b) Monreal

      1. Geezer

        8 years, 7 months ago

        B

    14. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Play King or Sane?

    15. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Willy | Pickford
      Alonso | Monreal | xxxx | Holgate| Stephens
      Sanchez | Hazard | Alli | King |
      Kane | Anichebe | Jesus
      14.1 ITB
      A) Vertonghen and Sane 1.1 ITB
      B) Yoshida and Eriksen 1.1 ITB

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        A, double Saints D and to a lesser extent Spurs treble attack don't appeal to me. Why are you keeping 1.1 ITB ?

    16. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If I went for

      Kane - Jesus - Costa

      My bench boost would be

      Caballero (LEI, WBA) Smith (BUR) Holgate (WAT) Carroll (sun)

      Based on that weak ish bench, is it a case of having to choose between Kane/Costa?

      1. Sean.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        i've gone the big 3 and you're right its not so good for the BB, just have to hope they can compensate for it

      2. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        it's not ideal but hopefully costa will make the difference

      3. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Most have only got fodder on the bench (Pickford, Yoshida, Stephens, Anechebe etc) so I doubt you will loss much if anything on most who have 4 DGW'ers on the bench.

    17. Pringle
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What do you prefer?

      A. Kane + Sane + Vertonghen
      B. Costa + Ozil + Gabriel

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

        A by a mile.

        A

    18. Fernando Torres
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A) Vertonghen + Albrighton (play Sane this week)
      B) Robertson/4.8M defender (Have Yoshi + Stephens) + King

      Thoughts guys?

    19. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Who to bench:

      Pickford Caballero
      Alonso Yoshida Stephens Vertonghen Monreal
      King Hazard Sanchez Alli Sane
      Anichebe Kane Jesus

      Benching Anichebe and Stephens, which other outfield player to bench?

    20. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That Rashford injury is a kick in the cojones.

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

        People still own him?

      2. Geezer
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Think he would be rested for Celta anyway

    21. martyhan
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Repost

      A. Play Davies

      Or

      B. Get in Kos for Gibson -4 and play him instead

    22. Jebiga
      • 13 Years

      who have more chances to play all games for chelsea until the end of season:
