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. 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

  2. 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

    2. Nigawan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      b

  3. 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

      b

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

      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
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Comfortably b

  4. 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

  5. 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
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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

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

    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

  11. 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?!

  12. 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

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

    Who to play?
    A King
    B Sane

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

      Flip a coin.

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      King

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

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

        Thanks mate. Question mark over Sanes minutes...it would

  17. Mesh
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Why all the love for Anichebe?

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

      Cheap enabler with a DGW

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      purely a 3-5-2 enabler with a dgw. no good cheap strikers

  18. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    who scores more?

    A) Alli + Gabbi
    B) JWP + Costa

    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Koscielny or Monreal?

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

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

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          No

    2. BremerHB
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kosc if you can afford.

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

      c

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 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
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

    3. JustPark
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      C. Swansea will go mental to score and win.

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

        Why Yoshida over Stephens?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years

    8 years, 7 months 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
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Tough - got to be C really though

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      C easily

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

      C

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

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

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

    Who would you pick ?

    A Albrighton
    B JWP

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A easily

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

      B.

      Two dgwks and extremely dangerous set pieces

    3. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

  23. Viper
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 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?

    Daniels or Huth?

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

      Huth definitely promising but Daniels is proven.

      1. Sergeant Garcia

    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
