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.

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

      Cout. Walcott 30 minutes in both games.

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

      Never Walcott.
      Thats coming from an Arsenal fan.

      Play Gabbi instead of Stephens

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      G2G if you're going for a world record bench score.

      A

    4. Springbank

  10. PMz
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    No Wildcard (still have BB) and chasing a 30 point lead. Willing to take hits. 4m ITB and 1 FT. I have the exact cash for Rashford + Zaha > Jesus + Sane...should I pull the trigger?

    Caballero (Pickford)

    Valencia Stephens Davies

    Alli Haz Zaha Sanchez

    Rashford Kane Gabbi

    Subs: de Roon, Holgate, Friend

  11. Nitram
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How am I looking for this week?
    I'm 97 points clear at the top of my mini league.
    Still got my WC and bench boost saved for next weeks double.

    Foster (Grant)
    Valencia Kompany McAuley (Morgan Davies)
    Sanchez (TC) Lanzini Hazard Son (De Roon
    Costa Negrado Lukaku

    Really I'd like to change Negredo but only 1FT and 0.0 ITB so I need a >6.2 striker.

  12. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hellow o/

    Cech
    Alonso - Monreal - Cedric
    Hazard - King - Eriksen - Sanchez(C) - Sané
    Costa - Jesus

    Caballero - Yoshida - Stephens - Anichebe

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

      If Cedric is playing then looks alright for this week.

  13. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Rose likely to interfere with Davies' GW37 gametime?

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

      Yep. No doubt.

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      yes

    3. Iain Dowies Love Child
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Possibly the 2nd game but then it may be as sub. I reckon he's safe for now.

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

    Just made a few changes to my WC team:

    Caballero Pickford
    Alonso Yoshida Monreal Holgate Stephens
    Sanchez Alli Hazard Albrighton King
    Gabbi Jesus Kane
    0.1 ITB

    Any help much appreciated!

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Like it. Similar to mine (below) but I have Cahill, Sane & Capoue in for Alonso, King & Albrighton. Good luck!

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

        Thanks! I had Sane in at the start of the week but Caballero and Jesus are the only players who I think are guaranteed to start with Pep

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

    A. Pickford + Monreal + Holgate + Costa

    or

    B. Cech + Azpilicueta + Luiz + Gabbiadini

    Help me out here. 🙁

    1. Iain Dowies Love Child
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer B this week but for 37 I'm planning on changing Gabbi to Costa. Prob at the expense of Sanchez

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

        Sanchez has stk and SUN in 37.

        You are very brave.

        1. Iain Dowies Love Child
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          And Costa has wba WAT

      b

  16. Iain Dowies Love Child
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Nearly done on my WC and have two more spaces. Care to choose?

    A) Alonso & Davies
    B) Cahill (or Azpi) & Vert

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

    2. Forever In Our Shadow

      B

    3. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B. I'd worry about Davies game time with Rose on the way back

    4. George James
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Comfortably b

  17. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I think I have cracked the old FPL code.

    0.0 itb. Here we go

    ----

    A.

    Cab - Pickford

    Alonso - Vert - Gabriel - Stephens - Holgate

    Sanchez - Hazard - Ozil - Alli - King

    Jesus - Kane - Gab

    B.

    Cab - Pickford

    Alonso - Monreal - Yoshida - Stephens - Holgate

    Sanchez - Hazard - Ozil - Alli - King

    Jesus - Kane - Gab

    ---

    A has the Gabriel risk factor but might be worth it to fit Vert in. B is slightly safer but no Vert :\

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

      Basically comes down to

      Vert + Gabriel

      or

      Monreal + Yoshida

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

        B - both more likely to start than Gabriel (I started the week with the backline in A and have just now changed it to the backline in B)

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

          How about secret option C

          Cab/Lloris, Gabriel, Yoshida

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

            I can't afford that I think but it looks good with the exception of my previous comment of Gabriel's minutes not being secure

  18. Arsenal USA FC
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero/Zaha -> Jesus/Hazhard for a -4

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

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

      Yes

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Yes

  19. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which MF Is better for this team for the next few GWs

    Hazard
    Ozil

    Valdes Lloris

    Yoshida Alonso Davies Maguire Gibson

    Sanchez Eriksen Zaha Herrera xxxxxxxx

    Barnes Benteke Jesus

    Currently on Ozil because I'm 6th in ML chasing 27pts for 3rd

    but 3rd and 5th don't have any DGWers for 36 and 4th has 4 (Montreal, Tadic, Gabbiadini & Bertrand) so I want to take advantage of that

    But any other ideas would be welcomed

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

    Tadic or sané to sanchez ? No other attack from city or Southampton?

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

      Tadic, easily. Southampton don't score very often.

  21. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    a) Cahill & Redmond
    b) Vert & Pedro

    Also have Azpi

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      b

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

    A. Matic & Alli

    B. Albrighton & Eriksen

    That 0.1m could make all the difference?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

    2. John Nerdelbaum

  23. Jebiga
    • 13 Years

    i think im done with my wc. any improvement ?

    cech
    azpilicueta, verthongen, monreal
    sane, hazard, ozil, eriksen, king
    jesus, kane

    sub: caballero, yoshida, stephens, anichebe

    who to captain ? ozil ?

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

      Different team from the template, but pretty good except I don't fancy Anichebe. Captain Ozil

  24. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Rashford + Gabbi > Jesus + Anichebe post Europa injury/rotation?

    I have the exact cash but will lose my GW36 4th DGWer?!

  25. Totally !rre!evant
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Think I'm finally sorted. Not able to tinker tomorrow so hoping the pressers go well (fingers crossed).

    Any final suggestions on this lot;

    Willy // Pickford
    Cahill // Monreal // Yoshida // (Stephens // Holgate)
    San(C)hez // Hazard // Alli // Sane (Capoue)
    Kane // Jesus // Gabbiadini

  26. Geezer

    Who to play?
    A King
    B Sane

    2. StalkingDwarf
