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.

      If no more helpful risers, think this is it:

      Cech
      Alonso, Huth, Yoshida
      Hazard, Sanchez, Alli, King
      Kane, Jesus, Costa

      Pickford, Romeu, Stephens, Holgate

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Why not say Maguire over Huth? One is desperate for clean sheets (and the odd goal), the other probably halfway to the beach.

          8 years, 7 months ago

          I agree. Gives you a little to spend elsewhere. Maybe upgrade romeo to jwp if you have the another 0.1?

          1. MTPockets
              8 years, 7 months ago

              JWP was benched last game. Boufal should drop for him now not 100% convinced. No extra 0.1m anyway

                8 years, 7 months ago

                Jwp will play imo. The only chance they have is set pieces so jwp will play both.

            I'd prefer City coverage

            Cech and Huth to Cabellero and Monreal

            1. MTPockets
                8 years, 7 months ago

                I can't do that without dropping Romeu to T Carroll (sgw) + Leicester could get a goal, Monreal not nailed for 4. So don't think much in that but you may be right.

            2. MTPockets
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Huth's been relatively attacking recenty: https://www.premierleague.com/news/383804
                Just hope for an extra game to convert it really.
                Plus gw38 fixture for Maguire (although may transfer before then anyway).

            Do we think Company will play four games in 15 days? Not convinced myself..

              • 15 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              That's a complete lottery imo

            2. Chris_White
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Kompany obv

            3. MTPockets
                8 years, 7 months ago

                All the dgwers have tight 37/38 fixtures. Think there'll be more general rotation than anticpated.

                • 12 Years

                Its the end of the season. It might be hos final games for City. You never know?

            4. 1314
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              play Holgate(swan) or Valencia(ars) ?

              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Bench which 2? Alonso Cahill Gabriel Yoshida Stephens

                Gab yosh or step

              did alysbach make his mind up on whether to bb this week and wildcard next?

              How can I squeeze Siggy into my 11 this weekend? Can't seem to pick who to drop in place of him. Current team;

              Caballero

              Blind Brunt Holgate

              Alli Eriksen Sanchez JWP

              Kane Gabbiadini Niasse

              I know the obvious choice would be Niasse, but with Hull having a home fixture against Sunderland and going all out for goals at this stage of the season, I think I could regret leaving him out.

              Is Siggy worth bringing in? I could see him grabbing an assist or two at home to Everton!

                Forget Siggy, plan for next DGW

                Brunt? He layed his towel down on the sunlounger months ago

                • 14 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Pretty good - Anichebe a bit poor though

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

                  I know, only way I can get the rest in though. Either go with Gabbi and a poor defence or Victor and a great defence

                  1. DynamoTomato
                    • 14 Years
                    8 years, 7 months ago

                    You've gone for the right call then

              • 14 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              On wildcard: would you go for Siggy & Pedro or Carroll & Hazard?

              Pickford Cabbalero
              Montreal Vertonghen Stephens Maguire Benalouane
              Alli Hazard Sanchez King Carroll
              Kane Jesus Gabiandini

                • 15 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Carrol and Hazard

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

              If you already had Stephens, best sub 5 defender to get for Gibson?

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

                Yoshida, double double! Or Holgate

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

                  Ah forgot to say I had Holgate, so it's Yoshi or nada?

                Whatever happened to this special algorithm?

                Still on paper?

                (I had to check spelling of algorithm)

              • Pringle
                • 12 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Danny Rose is the theat to Davies right? Tottenham hope to have Rose back in training next week so Davies could be worth the risk?

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

                  Ha ha same question below!

                  • 16 Years
                  8 years, 7 months ago

                  Davies is not worth the risk. A weeks training for rose and he could start. Especially if we have thrown it away by then

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

                  You can treat Davies as a single game week player. Question is for 4.9 are there any DGW players worth getting?

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

                  Big risk.

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

                Davies too much of a risk right?

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

                  Yep

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

                Best defender 4.9 or less, with the uncertainty over the likes of Gabriel, Davies,Trippier is it madness to get Cedric and triple up on Saints backline,
                he may just nick some attacking points? Dont really fancy Huth, the other option is Maguire,and re-access next week , but would you play him this week over Yosh or Stephens?

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

                  risky, but if they get a cleanie then you're laughing

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

                  Huth would be the choice, a goal threat too.

                8 years, 7 months ago

                Interesting responding on the previous page to the best defender £4.8m or less. I've kicked it around quite a bit and in isolation Cedric doesn't seem a bad pick(essentially for 2nd dgw). Issue is also having Stephens and Yosh so would mean trebling up on Sou defenders. Would take some guts but is there really any better option in gw 37 at £4.8m or less than one of these three? If the answers no then this isn't that bad an option....(ignoring the turmoil at Sou).

                Thoughts?

                  Yeah - unbelievably I've got all 3 for 37 - I can't see anyone better either
                  Which is pretty pish

                • 11 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Is double Chelsea defence too much eggs in one basket?

                Willy (Pick)
                Cahill Azpi Monreal (Stephens Yoshi)
                Alli Sanchez Hazard King Redmond
                Kane Jesus (Anichibe)

                  • 10 Years
                  8 years, 7 months ago

                  No double def Chelsea looks decent, they have strong fixtures

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

                    I'm going with Alonso/Cahill both with goal threat

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

                      Can't afford that unfortunately. I quite like the look of this though, and have Redmond for a Saints dgw punt

              • Kanteisking
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                A little help if you could. 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

                Not much love for Gabriel now? Is this because of Mustafi?

                  No hazard could hurt bad

                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?

                  B for me

                  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 🙂

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

                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?
