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.

    Thoughts on this WC team please - struggling with low team value (0.0ITB with this) :

    Cech Pickford
    Alonso Davies Yoshi Stephens Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard Alli King Albrighton
    Jesus Kane Anichebe

    Help would be appreciated!

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

      Caballero instead of cech maybe, and upgrade elsewhere

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Good team.
      But how about cech to Willy and use cash elsewhere.

      Otherwise g2g

  2. dunas_dog

    Would you keep Valencia with latest possible United injuries or get rid ?

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

      I would get rid, too much uncertainty and not great fixtures.

  3. Tabbara

    Hi
    Which WC is better
    A:
    Cech Caballero
    Alonso Yoshida Stephens Koscielny Holgate
    King Eriksen Sanchez Pedro Sane
    Kane Anichege Jesus
    Or B:
    Pickford* Caballero
    Alonso Yoshida Stephens Monreal* Holgate
    King Hazard* Sanchez Pedro Sane
    Kane Anichege Jesus
    Thx

  4. Mattymo23

    Captain:

    A) Jesus
    B) Sanchez
    C) Hazard

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

      Sanchez

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

    Slightly niche, but any thoughts on whether Ashley Barnes will start this weekend?

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

      He will

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

        I'm hoping so. Motm last time out, just worried about Dyche opting for Vokes height against WBA. Plus Yeah was rested last game...

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

      Should do yes

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

        Thanks

  6. abaalan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Triple captain Sanchez this week anyone with me?!

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

      I am thinking about it

      Might go Costa

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

      No, out of 4 million players absolutely nobody else is doing it.

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Think your on your own with that pick Mr Maverick. 😉

    4. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I would if I still had the chip

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

    Help please:

    A) Cech, Alli, Davies
    B) Willy, Eriksen, Vert

  8. EP
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    WC active, good to go?

    Jakupovic
    Alonso Vertongen Monreal Yoshida
    Sanchez Hazard Erikson King
    Kane Jesus

    Caballero Sane Barnes Holgate - £0m in the bank

    Not as many double Gameweek players as I first planned, surely Jaku/Barnes will out score Pickford/Anichebe?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I agree with Jaku / Barnes. I only see Blunderland completely giving up. Pickford might get more than jaku. Anichibe is a waste of 4.3 mil.

  9. Matteera
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Daniels (STO) or Yoshida this week?

    Not convinced soton will do much in all honesty!

    1. The Architect of Anarchy
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Daniels

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

    What is better

    A....sane and monreal

    B...pedro and koscielny

    Thanks

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Depends who else you have chelsea / Man City wise but I would go B for this week.

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

        Got Alonso and hazard and jesus

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          B then defo

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

            Why u say that?

  11. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gents. Bench 1.

    Gabriel. Monreal. Alonso. Yoshida.

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Gabriel

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

      Gabriel out of that lot I think.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Gabriel

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

      Yoshi or Gabriel. I think I would go Yoshida.

    5. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks gents.

    6. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      G

    7. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Brain says Yosh bur you never know. I have stephens instead if Monreal and have a similar dilema except Im considering playing 442 and bemching Gabbi instead.

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

    A) Azpi + Vertonghen + Albrighton
    B) Cahill + Robertson + King

    Could upgrade Robertson to a 4.8M Defender (got Yoshida, Holgate and Stephens)

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

  14. Raheem's perm
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Think I've done it! Swapped Kane out for Costa, better fixtures, and looking better all round 🙂

    Forster Caballero
    Yoshida Stephens Davies Monreal Alonso
    Sanchez King Sane Eriksen Hazard
    Anichebe Costa Jesus

    GTG?

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

      David's a rotation risk..

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Either or to be honest between Kane and Costa Forster is a bit meh. Surely pickford in for him and upgrade davies to Vert as a safer pick?

      1. Raheem's perm
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        0.1 short!

  15. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    RMWCT:

    Caballero | Pickford
    Davies Yoshida Stephens Holgate Ake
    Sanchez Hazard Alli King Carroll
    Kane Costa Jesus

    0.1 ITB

    Any alternative suggestions?

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

      Maybe too much funds in attack, gives you a little weak defence. Do you have BB? Aké not a good option if yes
      Otherwise it looks good!

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

        Yes i have BB

  16. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Caballero Kosciely OR Cech Monreal OR Cech Vertonghen???

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A or C

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

      CK1

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      C

  17. Only a Hazard of time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Right, so who are the latest Man United injuries? Just Young?

  18. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone captaining other players other than Sanchez?
    Thinking Haz or Kane myself.

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Tempted by Mesut

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm interesting
        A differential

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        amount of shots on target put me off.

        Could be in for an assist or two.

    2. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Probably not - but am tempted.

      Having Sanchez might just be enough insurance. Could be an opportunity to captain someone like Hazard or Kane as a differential. In a normal gameweek they would probably be topping the polls.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard or Cech at the moment for me, Kane third option

  19. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Pick one

    A) sané and Davies

    B) albrighton and alonso

    Rest of midfield is

    Sanchez. Hazard. Alli. King.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A. More assured starts

  20. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sane or Pedro?

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

      I would love to know! My plan is to get Sane if Aguero confirmed out otherwise get Pedro. Also if Chelsea win league pre final game more chance of squad rotation at Chelsea pre FA cup final

    2. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sané

  21. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    GW 36


    Hennessey (Pickford)
    Stephens Bailly Vertongen (Holgate Gibson)
    Alli Hazard Sanchez King (De Roon)
    Lukaku Kane Gabb

    Suggestions for a hit or 2? Nothing in the bank.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Luka to costa.

  22. boogle
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Tricky one for you:

    A) Alonso Monreal Kingsley
    B) Cahill Monreal Holgate
    C) Luiz Koscielny Holgate

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

      A or B
      Both close

    3. The Architect of Anarchy
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

      Probably A because of Alonso

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

        Thanks all, Kingsley likely to keep Olssen out of team? Was Olssen injured?

    5. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

  23. super zlatan
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Bottomed

    Pick one

    A) sané and Davies

    B) albrighton and alonso

    Rest of midfield is

    Sanchez. Hazard. Alli. King.

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Do you think Davies will last until the end of the season?

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No idea Boom.

        Not thrilled at having albrighton or capoue in my team though.

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

      What's your frontline?

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Kane. Jesus. Gabbi

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

          U ok with Gabbi? U on a WC? If a WC why not downgrade Gabbi and upgrade Davies to Vertonghen

          1. super zlatan
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I want gabbi. Not a fan of any cheaper options

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

              In that case I'd go A

  24. The Architect of Anarchy
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Mark, Will there be YMA's ​article before deadline?

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

    Which scores more (in your opinion)

    A. Kane, Gabbiadini, Matic, Koscielny

    B. Costa, Vardy, T. Carroll, Holgate

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A, Vips.

    2. The Architect of Anarchy
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

    3. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

      A. But why not downgrade Gabbi to Anichebe and upgrade Marco?

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

      Thanks lads, split down the middle

    6. Forever In Our Shadow

    7. The Big Fella

      This week? B

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

    I'll try my luck for some feedback....

    Caballero Pickford
    Alonso Davies Huth Holgate Stephens
    Sanchez Alli Hazard Albrighton King
    Gabbi Jesus Kane
    0.6 ITB

    Any help much appreciated!

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

      Huth - > Yoshida & Davies - > Verthongen imo

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

        Thsi

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

          This even

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

        Cheers lad. Thought the same. This was the scenario I debated on the last article but no reply (busy time of the season/week). Would you rather have Monreal and Yoshida or Vertonghen and Yoshida? Monreal has 4 games in the next 2 GW but I can't see him playing 4 games in 10 days.

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

      Davies only doubt with Rose but other than that looks safe!

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

        I agree. Would you rather take Yoshida and Davies or Monreal and Yoshida? Will Monreal play all 4 games in the next 2 GW?

  27. The_FF_King
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    On wildcard, any help would be much appreciated!

    Cech / willy

    Alonso / Vert / Gabriel / Yoshi / Stephens

    Hazard / Sanchez / Alli / King / Albrighton

    Anichebe / Costa / Jesus

    Should I do get Kane for Costa and downgrade Vert for Holgate?

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Have both but think I'd pick Kane over Costa (although Costa has better fixtures).

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

          Thanks mate. Would love both but don't have good team value!

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

        Not sure about Gabriel's game time with Mustafi coming back soon and 4 games in 10 days

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

      AMIGOS, GOOD TO GO?

      Pickford
      Mustafi - Clichy - Stephens
      San(c)hez - Hazard - Eriksen - Alli - King
      Kane - Jesus

      Bench: Hennessey - Bailly - Holgate - Benteke

      Got a -4 hit this week to move kun, coutinho and zaha to king, sanchez and jesus.

      Any tips on other moves?

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

        Will clitchy be nailed?

    3. dierstraights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      On WC, will BB for gw37. Which do you prefer:
      A) Cech, Vertonghen, Sane
      B) Pickford, Monreal, Eriksen

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

      A) Azpi + Vertonghen + Albrighton (Play Sane this GW)
      B) Cahill + Robertson + King (Bench Sane this GW)

      Could upgrade Robertson to a 4.8M Defender (got Yoshida, Holgate and Stephens)

      A would give me 2 more DGW players.
