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.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    People wildcarding this week what are you planning to do with your free transfer next week anyone with an actual plan ?

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

      Save it and have 2FTs for the final week. Unless I have an injury or something to sort out.

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

        This

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

      Adapt to injuries

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

      Monitoring Gabbiadini this week. If he's bad, I'll switch to anichebe and upgrade elsewhere. Want Gabbi for this week as there are not many alternatives with dgw 🙂

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

    koscielny or monreal?

    1. KUN+10
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kosc if money is not an issue

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

        but monreal can assist or score what do u think

        1. KUN+10
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Kosc is very dangerous at set pieces. Monreal can be rotated, Kosc is nailed on

    if this happen, will their points count? 😀

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

      No. Our season ends in 38 silly.

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

        hahaha just hoping mate... 😀

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

    Zaha-----Pedro -4?

  5. Kuyt Hero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Weird one here for GW37

    A) Alli and A.Smith (BUR)
    or
    B) Eriksen and A.Smith (BUR) / Holgate (WAT) / Huth (mci, TOT)?

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

      Eriksen Huth if you can play Huth 36 against that Watford injury ward

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

        If I go Huth he would be in my 36 squad but will be on bench

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

    This is a real teaser for you all!

    (a) Gabriel Huth Pedro
    (b) Monreal Vertonghen JWP

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

      B

    2. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B nailed

  7. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Good time for AOA?
    Caballlero
    Daniels-Luiz
    Hazard-Eriksen-Sane-King-Ozil(c)
    Kane-Gabbi-Jesus
    Pick---Yoshi---Blind---Holgate.
    Thanks all.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Looks your best option

  8. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone having second thoughts about captaining Sanchez and thinking Jesus or Kane instead?

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

      Seen more on Hazard 1st, Kane 2nd

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

      Sanchez all the way for me

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

      Yeah, but there will be a lot of TC alex so cant really risk it.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        True, not with his ownership

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

    Sane and Vertonghen over Eriksen and 5.5 defender/Yoshida
    (Have Kane and Alli)

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

      SaneVert

  10. Englandcrew
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Is sterling a viable differential to sane if chasing.

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

      Yes

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

        What do you think to his minutes?

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

    Spurs win on Friday. Cut the lead to 1. Guess what happens on Monday? Statement game from Chelsea. Gotta have Haz and Costa.

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

    Complete my strike force.
    Costa Lukaku and...

    Negredo
    Llorente
    Origi
    Ayew

    They have to be 6.2 or under basically.

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

      TC Sanchez and WC/BB next week.

      1. tets mcgee (Ha La Land)
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

          I do now, potentially changes things.

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

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

              Foster/Jaku
              Kompany Valencia Stephens Holgate Davies
              Sanchez Ndidi Remond Moses Hazard
              Origi Jesus(Later Aguero) Vardy

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

      Don't like any. Rather Anichebe and spend elsewhere

  13. 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
      • 9 Years

      Coffee Costa

  14. 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.

  15. 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!

  16. 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

  17. 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?

  18. 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.

  19. 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

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

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

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

      Caballero Cech

      Alonso Verthongen Koscielny Yoshida Stephens

      Hazard Sanchez Eriksen King Albrighton

      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
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sick of your PP bruvvv

      1. Viper

      Tadic

    2. Viper

      8 years, 7 months ago

      Tadic I think

    3. Sweetboi

    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

  25. 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

  26. 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
