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.

  2. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Koscielny or Monreal?

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days 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, 28 days ago

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

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          No

    2. BremerHB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Kosc if you can afford.

  3. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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, 28 days ago

      c

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 28 days 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, 28 days 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, 28 days ago

      C. Swansea will go mental to score and win.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Why Yoshida over Stephens?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years

          Goal threat

    9 years, 28 days ago

    Play 1 -

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

    Monreal - Yoshida - (?)

    1. Top 210 Club

      B

    2. La Di Da
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Tough - got to be C really though

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      C easily

    4. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      C

    5. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 28 days 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, 28 days ago

    Who would you pick ?

    A Albrighton
    B JWP

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      A easily

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      B.

      Two dgwks and extremely dangerous set pieces

    3. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      B

  6. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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, 28 days ago

    Who'd you rather have for the run in?

    Daniels or Huth?

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Huth definitely promising but Daniels is proven.

      1. Sergeant Garcia
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Nicely put 😀 so Daniels?

        1. JustPark
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          I'll go with form. Daniels it is.

    3. Forever In Our Shadow

      Yes

  11. La Di Da
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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

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

  13. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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
      • 10 Years

      a

    2. Springbank

      9 years, 28 days ago

      B for me

  14. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Nice! You nailed it

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

    2. Fernando Torres
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Would you not prefer Koscielny over Monreal?

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

    3. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        In your scenario I would go with Gabbi option.

  15. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Gabbiadini to punish the doubters?

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Hope so!!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      The doubters that kept him? For sure.

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Possibly but only 7.8% owned.

      • Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        If only we knew

      • Gloria Kanchelskis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Very unlikely

      • Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        ??

    4. Springbank
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days 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. Springbank
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 28 days ago

            Exactly that extra game thanks

      2. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        How essential do you think Sanchez is?

        1. Springbank
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          Very

        2. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 28 days 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, 28 days ago

          Suicide if you even contemplate it imo.

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

        M Hazard, Sanchez (c), King, Redmond
        F Gabbiadini, Costa, Jesus

          • 14 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          why dont play verthongen over bbertrand ?
          is benalouane nailed ?

          1. Mightyhorse
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 28 days 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
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          Bertrand and Benalouane to Yoshida and Holgate.

      4. EWH2020
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

        Willy, Cech
        Alonso, Gabriel, Davies, Stephens, Holgate
        Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, King, Sane
        Kane, Jesus, Anichebe

        1. Kuyt Hero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 28 days 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
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 28 days 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, 28 days 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...

      5. Jebiga
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

        1. super zlatan
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          Prob Gabriel.

        2. Springbank
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          Easy Gab but will prob get rotated as well

      6. OLLY G
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        (A) Vert and Gabriel

        (B) Monreal and Davies/Trippier

        1. Springbank
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

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

      7. George James
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 28 days 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, 28 days ago

          Beautiful.

        2. George James
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          Cheers Zlat. Feels pretty template but fingers crossed

          1. super zlatan
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 28 days ago

            Same as mine only I have monreal to your vert

        3. BremerHB
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

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

      8. Apollo Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days 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

      9. Pinky Blinders
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days 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.

      10. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

        1. Pinky Blinders
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          He's also fun to watch

        2. MTPockets
            9 years, 28 days ago

            Yet I can't get myself to switch.

        3. Jo72
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

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

          G2G??

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

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

              Probably not all but could still do well

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

                Definitely the former

            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.
