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. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A: Vertonghen, Ndidi Gabbiadini
    B: Davies, Sane, Anichebe

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Whats the better option?

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

      A

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

      A, but not mad about either.

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

    Help please chaps:

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

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

    Couple of questions.

    A. How many attacking returns for Costa in the next 4 games?

    B. How many CS for Chelsea in the next 4 games?

    1. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      i reckon 2 cs's. dont have an idea about dogface 🙂

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

      Would be disappointed with less than 3 clean sheets. Who knows about Costa, he tends not to be explosive but I am going to say 3 goals 2 assists. Could be anything though...

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

    What are people's thoughts on John Stones from now till the season's end? If he is fit is his place safe? Could be a bargain at 4.6...

    1. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      i think kompany took his place

  5. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    help me to deciede please:

    1. pickford, gabriel, huth, alexis, alli

    or

    2. cech, monreal, verthongen, ozil, eriksen

    ?

    thanks

  6. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Any news on Rashford...?

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

    Ake or Holding?
    Have to risk with 1 of those 2

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

      According to arsenal fan TV...the fans love holding and have no idea why Wenger isn't playing him, maybe he's worth the punt over ake? 😉

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This

      2. JJO
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks Garlana,that was my thinking too

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

    Valencia, Davies, Robertson, Stephens, Wilson

    No WC, 1.5 in bank

    How do I fix my defence? Considering Valencia & Wilson -> Cahill & Francis (and hope against hope to get more games out of Davies!)

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

    Take your pick:

    a) Vertonghen
    b) Monreal

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

      B

    2. Jimjam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

    Play King or Sane?

  11. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Willy | Pickford
    Alonso | Monreal | xxxx | Holgate| Stephens
    Sanchez | Hazard | Alli | King |
    Kane | Anichebe | Jesus
    14.1 ITB
    A) Vertonghen and Sane 1.1 ITB
    B) Yoshida and Eriksen 1.1 ITB

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A, double Saints D and to a lesser extent Spurs treble attack don't appeal to me. Why are you keeping 1.1 ITB ?

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

    If I went for

    Kane - Jesus - Costa

    My bench boost would be

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

    Based on that weak ish bench, is it a case of having to choose between Kane/Costa?

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

      i've gone the big 3 and you're right its not so good for the BB, just have to hope they can compensate for it

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

      it's not ideal but hopefully costa will make the difference

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Most have only got fodder on the bench (Pickford, Yoshida, Stephens, Anechebe etc) so I doubt you will loss much if anything on most who have 4 DGW'ers on the bench.

  13. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What do you prefer?

    A. Kane + Sane + Vertonghen
    B. Costa + Ozil + Gabriel

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

      A by a mile.

      A

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

    A) Vertonghen + Albrighton (play Sane this week)
    B) Robertson/4.8M defender (Have Yoshi + Stephens) + King

    Thoughts guys?

  15. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Who to bench:

    Pickford Caballero
    Alonso Yoshida Stephens Vertonghen Monreal
    King Hazard Sanchez Alli Sane
    Anichebe Kane Jesus

    Benching Anichebe and Stephens, which other outfield player to bench?

  16. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    That Rashford injury is a kick in the cojones.

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

      People still own him?

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

      Think he would be rested for Celta anyway

  17. martyhan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Repost

    A. Play Davies

    Or

    B. Get in Kos for Gibson -4 and play him instead

  18. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    who have more chances to play all games for chelsea until the end of season:

    1. cahill
    2. azpilicueta

    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

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

    4. Springbank

  27. 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

    1. sully29

  28. 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.

  29. 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.

  30. 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.
