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.

    Complete my strike force.
    Costa Lukaku and...

    Negredo
    Llorente
    Origi
    Ayew

    They have to be 6.2 or under basically.

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

      Don't like any. Rather Anichebe and spend elsewhere

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

    who will score more :

    1. sane

    or

    2. costa

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

      Costa

    2. FPL Pillars

      Coffee Costa

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

    Bench 1?

    A Yoshida
    B B Davies

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

      I'd hope Arsenal will win but probably go with DGW.

  4. WE GO FOR IT
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez to rise?

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

      Close.

    2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mostly Yea
      Have to make some Decisions now cuz of that 🙁

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Unlikely tonight, but maybe it's close.

    4. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers all! 🙂
      Looks like I have to get my transfers done tonight only!

  5. Alanaver
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    WC card team. Any changes?
    Cech/caballero
    Azpi/vert/Monreal/Stephens/Kone
    Hazard/Sanchez/Alli/King/
    Lucas
    Jesus/Kane/anichibe

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

      Lucas and Kone out

  6. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Putting together the final pieces:

    A) Pickford, Sane, Eriksen
    B) Caballero, Pedro, Alli

    Cech xx
    Alonso - Monreal - Yoshida - Holgate - Stephens
    Sanchez - Hazard - King - xx - xx
    Kane - Jesus - Anichebe

    If I went B but with Eriksen instead of Alli I could also afford Koscielny over Monreal.

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

      B

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. Is it Caballero over Pickford that tips it, or Alli over Eriksen?

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

    FPL's toughest question !

    JWP or Albrighton ?

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That is tough. Think JWP is a better option

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Easy, neither.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      albrighton easy

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      1) Capoue
      2) Albrighton
      3) Carroll
      4) JWP

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I prefer 5

    5. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Favour neither, but Albrighton for me.

  8. Heels_Over_Head
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    On WC

    A) King and Alonso
    B) Walcott and Huth

    I know the community will vote for A but I want B.

    Please tell me in one adjective what you think of going with B.

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

      Risky

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

    Ok, I think this is it. I'm sick of this 😆

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years

      Caballero Cech

      Alonso Verthongen Koscielny Yoshida Stephens

      Kane Jesus Gabbiadini

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I get a sense of deja vu looking at this. It's alright!

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

          I'll stop posting about fantasy football on the fantasy football forum. Apologies

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

      2. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        You think Albrighton and Gabbiadini is better than Anichebe and Sane/Pedro and Anichebe?

      3. Razmataz
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No double Chelsea defence?

    2. FPL Pillars

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      Tadic

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

      Tadic I think

    3. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years

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

      I would personally play Alonso over Yoshida and not double up Southampton this week

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Play Alonso

  14. Blue Gaffer
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Zaha to Pedro/Tadic -4 yes or no?

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

      Yes

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

      Pedro

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes Pedro or Sane

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Seriously considering going with Bavies instead of Vert... Rose been pushed back so much to date. Hardly going to be thrown in for a start in 37 after just being back from a ligament injury.

    Returning to 1st team training next week means match fitness is still a bit away.

    Anyone else punting on Bavies?

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

      FWIW - Vert & Gabriel can become Bavies & Monreal...

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I am considering Bavies for sure.

    2. MTPockets
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Shouldn't have sold him, but not buying back now.
        Also don't see Rose being thrown in given the point they're at.

      • Viper
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It's the Leicster game I reckon Rose could start. It's not for 2 weeks

      • Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Reckon he'll start against Leicester.

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

        Im considering it. Only need him for 37. Might take a punt and hope he plays both.

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

      Really appreciate as many votes on this as possible as need to catch Pedro's price rise if I'm going to do it. Thanks!

      A) Cech, Holgate, Kante (or ????), Gabbi

      v

      B) Pickford, Montreal, Pedro, Anichebe

      Is anichebe even going to start both games in 37? Guess Moyes might play youth with next season in mind. Im only going to be looking at 4pts from him.

      1. MTPockets
          8 years, 7 months ago

          a

      2. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Sane or Pedro? I have jesus and hazard in my team.

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

          I'd go Sane. I reckon he's more assured of game time

        2. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Sane all day

      3. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        When do prices rise?

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

          About 2 hours 12 minutes later

        2. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          What a philosophical question. How long is a peice of string?

        3. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Don't panic, keep calm.

      4. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Can we trust Man utd midfielders for the last gws?

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

          I wouldn't bother tbh

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

          Martial if he didn't cost a fortune. Stay clear imo. Get a defender instead.

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

          Not for me. Can see lots of rotation with Man U one step into Europa finals

        4. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Not worth it as a Utd fan here, rotation, low scoring etc.... some great option in midfield too, Eriksen King Hazard Alli Sane

        5. Old Wulfrunian
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          thanks all

      5. Aubaaaaa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Which bench + triple captain do you think will score more?

        A. Pickford (hul) Maguire (SUN) Holgate (swa) King (STK) + Hazard TC (wba, WAT)

        B. Pickford (SWA, ars) Yoshida (mid, MUN) Holgate (WAT) Anichebe (SWA, ars) + Sanchez TC (MUN, sou)

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

          A

      6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Start Stephens or Gabriel ?

        1. EWH2020
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Gabriel

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

          Stephens. Mustafi back could spell the end of Gabriel

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

            This

          2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I guess. A 1 point cameo over 2 games would be awful

      7. EWH2020
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Start Stephens or Davies?

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

          Stephens

      8. Lav
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Need some quick answers here. What looks best?

        A. -8 this week and get Sanchez
        B. -4 this week, Sanchez next week in another -4
        C. Neither and take the -8 next week

        I can tell you that my team is good enough at the moment.

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

          C

        2. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          B

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I didn't see C there.

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

              So C for you?

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

          A

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

            Why do you fancy A the best?

      9. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Can any Arsenal people in the know enlighten me please...

        Is Holding worth the risk??

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

          Don't think so, he might get 1 game but I don't think it's worth it

      10. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Any thoughts on this WC draft?

        Caballero Cech
        Yoshida Stephens Montreal Holgate Alonso
        Sanchez Alli King Hazard Sane
        Kane Jesus Anichebe

        1. @fpl_phenom

          You spelt Monreal wrong and have copy n pasted into each new post.... but Ye gtg

      11. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Just gonna captain Sanchez this week, anything else is overthinking it. I'm leading mini league so it's up to the chasing pack to get clever differential captains.

        1. FPLtfs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          this.

        2. WE GO FOR IT
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Gonna do the same. But do you TC him?

          1. @fpl_phenom
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Mine is gone already but I would prefer to use TC on Hazard GW37. If it has to be this week I'd say yes...

      12. MrZ

        8 years, 7 months ago

        last day of transfer... 🙂

        1. heaton > cech for a hit, yay or nay?

        respond appreciated. thanks

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          nay as its like a cs for Valencia without the hit and Cahill is a better pick next week

          1. MrZ
            • 11 Years

          Yes. If Mustafi is back too then Monreal could be moved to LWB which is even better.
