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.

    Koscielny or Monreal?

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

      Kos if you can afford him - guaranteed to start. I have Monreal and I am worried he may not start at least 1 of the 4 games in 10 days he is due to play

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Would you downgrade Cahill to Azpi to get in Koscielny for Monreal?

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          No

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

      Kosc if you can afford.

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

    Who do I play this week:
    a) Holgate (swa)
    b) Stephens (liv, ARS)
    c) Yoshida (liv, ARS)

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      c

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Silly question m8. B and C obviously as DGW and SWA fighting for lives so likely to score..

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

        B or C - can only choose one. Liverpool and Arsenal are both more likely to score than Swansea too

    3. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      C. Swansea will go mental to score and win.

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

        Why Yoshida over Stephens?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years

          Goal threat

    Play 1 -

    A) Bavies (Whu)
    B) Stephens (Ars, Liv)
    C) Alonso (Mid)

    Monreal - Yoshida - (?)

    1. Top 210 Club

      B

    2. La Di Da

      Tough - got to be C really though

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      C easily

    4. Gloria Kanchelskis

      C

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

      If you are asking then you have to sell c since you don't consider that the best possible fixture

  5. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you pick ?

    A Albrighton
    B JWP

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A easily

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B.

      Two dgwks and extremely dangerous set pieces

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

      B

  6. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A. Bench boost with Kane - Jesus - Costa frontline

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

    B. Bench boost with Kane - Jesus - Gabbiadini

    Caballero (LEI, WBA) Stephens (mid, MNU) Yoshida (mid, MNU) Matic (wba, WAT)

    Which looks better all things considered?

  8. Sergeant Garcia
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who'd you rather have for the run in?

    Daniels or Huth?

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

      Huth definitely promising but Daniels is proven.

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Nicely put 😀 so Daniels?

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

          I'll go with form. Daniels it is.

      Yes

  11. La Di Da
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Caballero | X
    Monreal | Yosh | Stephens | X | X
    Haz | Sanchez | Sane | Eriksen | X
    Kane | Anichebe | Jesus

    I know it's template but with BB in 37 which is better

    A) Cech | Blind | Holgate | Alli
    B) Forster | Kosc | Vert | Pedro

    Basically, keep Alli or downgrade to Pedro and upgrade Defence!!

    Thanks

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for reply mate! Do you reckon Monreal is nailed on?

  13. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A, B or C out of these.... Coming down to a few decisions

    A) Maguire, Pickford, Alli

    B) Koscielny, Caballero, Pedro

    C) Koscileny, Pickford, Sane

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      a

    2. Springbank

      B for me

  14. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on my wc team lads?

    Cech
    Alonso. Monreal. Yoshida.
    Sanchez. Hazard. Alli. King
    Kane. Jesus. Gabbi

    Subs. Willy. Stephens. Capoue. Hol gate.

    1. Springbank
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nice! You nailed it

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure I nailed it but it's the best I can do

    2. Fernando Torres
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Would you not prefer Koscielny over Monreal?

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Toss of a coin really. I actually have funds to get kosc

    3. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      looks good SZ. i'm torn on gabbi vs Costa as per top of the page.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        In your scenario I would go with Gabbi option.

  15. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Gabbiadini to punish the doubters?

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hope so!!

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

      The doubters that kept him? For sure.

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Possibly but only 7.8% owned.

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If only we knew

    5. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Very unlikely

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

      ??

  16. Springbank
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lads gotta do that now before price changes:

    A- Cech, Eriksen
    B- Caballero, Alli

    Rest of the team is:
    Pickford
    Yoshida Alonso Stephens Montreal Vert
    Hazard Sanchez Pedro King
    Jesus Kane Anichebe

    Thanks

    1. MTPockets

    2. La Di Da
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A - double double GW decides it

      1. Springbank
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly that extra game thanks

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

      A

    4. Springbank

      Thanks everyone

  17. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How essential do you think Sanchez is?

    1. Springbank
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Very

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not expecting much, but not having him is risky with so many others having him as C or TC.

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

      Suicide if you even contemplate it imo.

  18. Mightyhorse
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hello. Any thoughts/comments/edits to this team:

    G Chech,
    D Cahill, Monreal, Bertrand
    M Hazard, Sanchez (c), King, Redmond
    F Gabbiadini, Costa, Jesus

    S Caballero, Vertonghen, Dier, Benalouane

    Thanks!

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

      why dont play verthongen over bbertrand ?
      is benalouane nailed ?

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

        Who else than benalouane? Bertrand has dgw don't you think that's better than one for vert?

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bertrand and Benalouane to Yoshida and Holgate.

  19. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Please let me know your thoughts on my WC squad. Will BB in GW37.

    Willy, Cech
    Alonso, Gabriel, Davies, Stephens, Holgate

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

      I'm in a very very similar situation. I think I slightly prefer Pickford and Monreal over Cech and Gabriel. Yes you miss out on one extra DGWer but uncertainty surrounding Gabriel game time sways it for me

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        that should leave enough in the bank to then upgrade Stephens to Yoshida.

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

          Only saves 0.1 for me. Plus I have both Yosh and Stephens. I have 0.3 kicking about now and debating whether to upgrade from monreal to Kos...

  20. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    who will play more games next 4 gw's ? gabriel or ake ? 🙂

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Prob Gabriel.

    2. Springbank
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Easy Gab but will prob get rotated as well

  21. OLLY G
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    (A) Vert and Gabriel

    (B) Monreal and Davies/Trippier

    1. Springbank
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      That is tricky. A with to turn Gabriel into a Huth gw37 maybe

  22. George James
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    GTG?

    Cech
    Vert Yoshi Alonso
    San(c)hez Alli Hazard King
    Kane Gabbi Jesus

    Willy Stephens Holgate Capoue

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Beautiful.

    2. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers Zlat. Feels pretty template but fingers crossed

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Same as mine only I have monreal to your vert

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

      Liking it. Looking similar to mine after from Albrighton vs Capoue. Good luck!

  23. Apollo Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A) Blind and J. Morrison

    B) Darmian / Gabriel and T. Davies

    B would allow for possibly going Sanchez & Gabbiadini to Sane and Costa if they keep their poor form up.

    Rest of the team is:

    Caballero, Pickford
    ____, Vertonghen, Alonso, Yoshida, Stephens
    Sánchez, Hazard, Eriksen, King, ____
    Kane, Gabbiadini, Jesus

  24. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    For all the fellow Sanchez TC'ers: MU has travelled a lot of miles and they must be in a complete daze at this point given all the matches they have had to play recently. Hard to see them getting fired up for Arsenal, so would expect muted offense and a just let's get through this thing without anyone getting hurt type mentality. Maybe Mou actually just leans on some bench fodder and points to the importance of Thursday's result as an excuse. Especially if MC wins on Saturday.

  25. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I hadn't really considered Eriksen over Alli but those numbers are mighty impressive..

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He's also fun to watch

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yet I can't get myself to switch.

  26. Jo72
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton
    Jagielka - Alonso - Stephens
    King - Hazard - Ozil (C) - Alli
    Lukaku - Kane - Gabbi

    G2G??

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 2 months ago

      First Jagielka I've seen but yeah why not. Looks good.

  27. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pedro as a Wilcard option - likely to start the rest of the games for the season?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not all but could still do well

    2. Kuyt Hero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He's my (semi) punt I think. Either going Pedro and Anichebe or Gabbi and Albrighton. Leaning the former

      1. Springbank
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely the former

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

          Yea think so too

  28. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    We wait Sanchez to play as a striker?

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

      Nah

  29. FPL Wisdom
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Worth getting in Kingsley over Holgate for a BB?
    any other sub 4.1 options worth a look? Love? Munieasa?

    It makes the difference between Pickford and Cabellero and Alsonso and Cahil.

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

      Nah

  30. Totti
    • 9 Years

    A) cech and koscielny
    B) cech and monreal
    C) caballero and koscielny
