Gameweek 31 might be diminished but, despite the curtailed fixture list, we’re giving it the full-fat ScoutCast treatment.

In fact, guided by your community questions, Jonty, Az, Andy and Granville join me as we dissect each of the four matches that make up Saturday’s offering – analysing the player targets from each as we seek to cater for the Free Hit managers and the chipless alike.

Looking further ahead, we also indulge in some wistful Wildcard discussions as we offer views on when to activate the refresh ahead of the looming double Gameweeks.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday evening. 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.

    Best scoutcast I have never watched

    1. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Your loss - so good 🙂

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Sure I will cope

    2. Blame it on Traore

      I gave Kevin Bridges his joke back.

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Was he angry

          Furious. He asked me to give him a quid or else I was getting stabbed.

            Ha ha nice response

  2. GW31 under the radar picks
    Prøfeßör …
    • 9 Years

    Which players do you think are flying under the radar for this BGW?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Not Benteke 😉

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Haha, timing. 😉

    2. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Benteke is one of those for me.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        When they launch the new "Stealth" Benteke, I'll be buying.

        With only 4 games played and limited credible options, this question is really asking who are the best poor choices who might score well.

        My long odds picks is Dawson.

        1. Prøfeßör …
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          Benteke has returned in 7 of his last 9 appearances (this includes the Chelsea game). What more would anyone want?

          If you pick him on the right day, he's explosive. With such limited options, this could be the right day.

          Everyone is talking about King's heroics in last year's BGW but no one is mentioning Tekkers!

          Agree to disagree, read through some of the names mentioned if you have time - some hidden gems, honestly.

          Dawson is potentially a good pick. He's been picked twice now and Hegazi was picked too.

            • 13 Years
            8 years, 21 days ago

            100%. Missed the hot topic - spot on

            1. Prøfeßör …
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 21 days ago

              Cheers, he would 100% have been one of my transfers in if I had an attacking slot available.

    3. pgeelufc

      Wayne rooney x

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Rooney could do well, on set pieces etc. They'll struggle to score though, I think.

    4. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      A. Smith but is he nailed? Outside of ffs I would assume there is not going to be many Zaha/PVA owners. Maybe even King. Casuals likely looking at total point and going Wilson over King (not saying it's wrong)

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        A Smith should start ahead of Ibe for me, they are poor defensively as it is.

        Good shouts on Zaha, PVA and King.

        Defoe potentially too, if he has a chance of starting. Maybe Ramadan.

    5. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      I would say both Baines and Coleman. By virtue of the fact that people don't like to double up, neither one is seeing as much ownership as they would if the other one didn't exist.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        You're absolutely correct. And many Pickford owners as well. That's part of the reason why I'm likely going PVA over Baines. Having Shaqiri plays a part of it as well.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Just go Baines 😀

          1. _figu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            🙂 DCL dive and pen scored would be nice. I don't see them keeping CS away. Maybe it's going to be a low scoring game.

        2. Prøfeßör …
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Agreed.

          I have to say I feel PVA is potentially an excellent pick.

      2. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Nice, are you relying purely on attacking returns or do you think there's a decent chance of a clean sheet?

        I think I still prefer Tekkers. 🙂

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Well naturally there is a chance of CSs as well as attacking returns, so I'm not relying purely on either. I've had the double up since last week, and Coleman for several weeks prior, so my double-up differential isn't simply for this one GW.:)

          I still think people shouldn't overlook the double up for this week though. You can tell that many people see Baines and Coleman as their best options, but are still trying to choose between them and then find another defender elsewhere. Even if there were any rationale to the fear of doubling up (with players you will never bench/rotate), then surely that fear can be mitigated by the fact that the double-up will be for only one week (or two).

          1. Prøfeßör …
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            They have served you well. 🙂

            I completely agree with this. All or nothing is the way to, especially with those using their Free Hits.

            If you fancy Baines and Coleman, pick both! If you think Stoke.will keep a clean sheet, double up with Butland and Bauer. It's simple yet so effective.

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 22 days ago

              Sorry to be contrary, but I have to disagree. You don't have to choose all or nothing. Players from the same team have the approx. the same chance of a CS, but not the same chance of a YC, RC, assist, goal, bonus etc.

              It may well be that the 2 best defensive options play each other this week, and I would be happy to follow the odds at pit them against one another. It's the age-old debate about averages.As far as I'm concerned, if I played the odds over the course of 1000 FPL seasons during a BGW, I would end up on top of the hypothetical me that chose the all-or-nothing route (where nothing really brings the average down!) haha.

              It's much like the expected value for players this week being 4.5pts (for example). You buy the player for a hit because you know that probability is on your side, even though the most likely score you will get is 2pts.

              1. Prøfeßör …
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 22 days ago

                Thanks for your comprehensive reply. Good points, can't really disagree. I should have worded it differently.

          2. _figu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            Good points. My double up would be. So I probably should just look it in a vacuum and pick the one I think has expected value. Baines being on pens has to edge it. In short term variance is huge and getting something like a goal from defender would be massive. CS odds probably really close between Everton and Palace? Betting sites have them both around thirty-something %?

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 22 days ago

              CS odds from the HT

              CPL 2.87 35%
              EVE 3.40 29%

              I'd go Baines if I had to pick one

          3. TLF
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            You've got me thinking about the double up again now lol, just when I'd decided on Smith.

            1. _figu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 22 days ago

              Is he nailed though? Could Fraser play? Ibe?

              1. Prøfeßör …
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 22 days ago

                I guess they could so probably not worth a hit but unlikely. We'll have to wait for the presser.

          4. DAZZ
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            Im doubling up on Baines and Coleman on my FH. And im not playing Shaqiri. Taking a gamble on Everton turning over a new leaf!

            1. Prøfeßör …
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 22 days ago

              Ballsy.

              Good luck. 🙂

            Cant see everton keeping cleansheet. Shaqiri wont be easy to stop

        2. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Not sure hehe. Can't decide but will go for one of those two. Huddesfield didn't score vs 10 so decent chance for Palace. I have to give them higher odds than Everton if I'm going him over Baines. Baines maybe slightly more likely to get attacking returns? Especially now that Siggy is out he has corners/free kicks/pens

        3. Aubaaaaa
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Hi Bear, what do you think of the chances of Benteke starting?

          1. Prøfeßör …
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            Hi Aubaaaa,

            I think they're very high. Benteke and Zaha should start up front.

            Hodgson mentioned Sørloth is suffering with fatigue in his presser and an apparent Norwegian 'insider' on Reddit is 100% sure Sørloth is out for around two weeks with a hamstring problem (not sure at all as to the validity of this but surely no smoke without fire).

    6. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Zaha, Tosun, Mooy, PVA, Townsend.

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        When I think about it, haven't seen anyone mention Townsend on here.

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Yep, Townsend is another

      2. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Brilliant. Mooy has been mentioned by Jonty but not by made others. You're right, Townsend could be gold.

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

          • 11 Years

          Thanks mate. Certainly a talented player and definitely has an eye for goal

    7. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Bolasie, Schlupp, Pritchard, A.Smith, Dawson, Kiko

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Loads of good ones there! Bolasie and Schlupp catch the eye.

      2. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Agreed with all of those. If I were Free Hitting, I'd try to fit one or two of those. A Smith is potentially an inspired pick and I'm a fan of Pritchard in particular.

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          I have Coleman and am considering a double up with Baines but really like Smith, so attacking, playing WB and I know this shouldn't necessarily influence my decision but he's always done well for me in the past.

          1. Prøfeßör …
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            There are poor nostalgic picks and there are good ones. A Smith is most certainly a good pick. Diversification can be good when there's no clear favourite.

      3. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Schlupp, for sure, but PvA is a slightly better pick, so that's that. When it comes to Dawson and Kiko, there are enough good reasons for them to be 'under the radar' for them to be there legitimately. At that point, you're just naming footballers.

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Granted Kiko is a stretch but I listed him as he's an OOP defender and could be involved in the goal if Watford score, I reckon they look going forward at the moment. Bournemouth are leaky and Dawson loves a goal, I really do think he's a viable option.

        2. Prøfeßör …
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Fair point about PVA and Schlupp but Dawson and Kiko have attacking threat. I see where you're coming from though - very valid points.

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            Plus I completely undermined my above point about avoiding double ups! Haha

            Schlupp is a good option regardless of PvA. If you already have PvA (and all the other players you think are better than Schlupp), then there is no reason not to buy Schlupp.

            I guess I was describing the reason I thought he was going under the radar. There are only 5 defender slots (for most people, only 3), so if you have bought PvA, you probably have other players too, and no more space for Schlupp 😀

            1. Prøfeßör …
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 22 days ago

              But I want 5 Palace players! Let's create such a chip. 😛

              Yeah, absolutely. It happens. So many layers to this game. 😀

            2. Prøfeßör …
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 22 days ago

              Btw, it's nice having a proper discussion. In general, there's too much short-term dopamine and unacknowledged replies, etc..

                • 10 Years

                Glad to know there's another out there that feels the same 🙂

      Van La Parra

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        True, Van La Parra, Pritchard and Mooy have all gone under the radar.

        They were highly rated last week but the tables have turned based on one outlier/ anomaly v Swansea.

    9. RIPAguero

      Begovic
      Bournemouth are the bookies 2nd favourite for a clean sheet this week after Liverpool.
      I'm not sure why Butland is preferred by most on here?

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Good shout.

        Most are just scared of Rondon. 😉

        Probably a combination of Everton's poor away form and Bournemouth's defensive frailties. Plus Butland is the saves monster.

    10. melvinmbabazi

      Niasse and Mili

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Hahahaha, I like it. A trademark Niasse goal from the bench and a Milli pen.

        I've seen weirder things come to fruition. 😀

      Hegazi, Crouch

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Good shout on Crouch. Everton are likely to struggle with Crouch's aerial threat (I think they conceded to him in last year's fixture).

        Not sure about Hegazi but I guess it's for his attacking threat, similar to the person who picked Dawson. If they somehow keep a clean sheet..

    13. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Richarlison,Ndiaye,Gosling,Schlupp

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Richarlison!!! It would be only so fitting.

        I haven't looked at Ndiaye's stats but he does get up a lot. Decent.

        Another vote for Schlupp.

    14. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Andros Townsend.

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Only a second vote for Townsend. Generally in form and definitely under the radar. I wouldn't be surprised if he outscores Zaha.

        1. FPL Virgin

          He is so under the radar it's unreal.

          I would definitely get him if I was free hitting.

          Nice H.T. btw 🙂

            Cheers, mate. I think it's needed, everything is becoming too template! 😉

            I'll endeavour to reply to each reply.

        Btw, thanks a lot for your FH 37 article, FPL Virgin. Very useful and much appreciated.

      Sorloth (will he play though?)

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        He would have been a great shout but he's unlikely to play. Hodgson mentioned he is suffering with fatigue in his presser and an apparent Norwegian 'insider' on Reddit is 100% sure Sørloth is out for around two weeks with a hamstring problem (not sure at all as to the validity of this but surely no smoke without fire).

        1. Ramboros
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          I don't think that's particularly reliable. There's an international break coming up. Joshua King's injury got reported by the Norwegian media before the UK. The same should happen with Sørloth. He has struggled with his hamstring before this season, so we'll see if something is confirmed in the coming days.

          1. Prøfeßör …
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            Fair enough. I thought I'd post it and let people make their own judgements.

            I still think Sørloth is due a rest (as hinted by Hodgson in the presser).

          2. Prøfeßör …
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            Btw, thanks for letting me know about the Norwegian media situation and Sørloth's previous struggle with his hamstring, I wasn't aware.

          3. FPL Xylophone
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 21 days ago

            Thanks for that inside. I hope he is fine and that he will play as he us due to score and would make a great differential. Hodgson presser gave s hint but not an obvious one. The reddit insider is more worrying but not sure how reliable is. Im willing to wait till Saturday for news. Else im getting Benteke i guess

    16. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I have a sneaky feeling that Hennessey will come out on top of the 8 GKs.
      Bolasie is my under the radar pick on my FH although he only makes 1st sub.

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        It could happen! My view towards Crystal Palace players is well documented above (it's positive!).

        Another potential hidden gem. Hennessey was earmarked as the go-to keeper a few weeks ago but now that we have pretty much an unlimited budget, everyone is getting someone more expensive.

        Bolasie could do well now he's won a spot in the team, for the time being.

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          I'm ignoring price and going with my gut, starting Hennesey over Butland.

          1. Prøfeßör …
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 21 days ago

            It's the right way to play the game, indeed, go with your gut.

            Is it the right decision? Only time will tell.

    17. Mysterion
      • 8 Years

      Matt Phillips (firmly under the radar and deservedly so) is finally gonna punish his sellers a year later 😛

      1. Prøfeßör …

    18. Brap.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Davy Klaassen

      Though to be fair he might be under the radar cos he's missing a wing and his engine's knackered

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Good attempt.

        Haha, nice! Yeah, I think he's nowhere near starting but that's definitely thinking outside the box.

    19. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Zaha

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Awesome. We've had a few Zahas, Townsends, PVAs, Schlupps, Sørloths, one Hennessey, one Milivojević and one Benteke. Crystal Palace are proving to be popular under the radar picks on here.

    20. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Bolasie.

      1. tets mcgee (Ha La Land)
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        janmaat

        1. Prøfeßör …
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          Nice. Kiko was also mentioned above, they've both got good attacking threat.

      2. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Bolasie has been mentioned a few times and he is an interesting one. He is definitely someone who is flying under the radar and in a lot fewer teams than his teammate Walcott.

    21. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      The Welsh Xavi definitely has a double figure score within him.

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Excellent shout. He could very well do! Outside of Shaqiri, the rest of Stoke's attacking players haven't been mentioned much over the past week or so.

    22. mbrewer94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I can't believe so many people are writing of the Bournemouth defence. Ake has a great record of goals and bonus, he's the main one for me. Also doubling up on Baines/Coleman, but I believe that's already been discussed.

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Brilliant - very fair point. I don't know about the rest but the Scoutcast has somewhat put me off the Bournemouth defence. Their stats are almost as bad as West Brom's.

        Quite a few have mentioned Adam Smith. Ake is definitely the nailed one with good baseline BPS. I would certainly get him on a free hit.

    23. KP02
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Doucouré - tends to grab one against the big teams

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Good shout. Watford players are proving to be more popular than I thought.

    24. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Ince

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Excellent. The other Huddersfield midfielders were mentioned above but Ince was neglected. Should start ahead of Quaner.

    25. Stat Sloth
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Cook - called up to the national team, nice motivation for upping his game. And his bps numbers are not that different from aké recently.

      Others that have been mentioned, and I agree on, are Zaha, vlP, Bolasie and also Ibe.

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Good shout on Cook.

        Can't disagree with Zaha, vIP or Bolasie. I don't think Ibe starts unless King is out but you never know.

    26. jumpinjeffflash
      • 13 Years

      Will Hughes.

      Apparently he almost joined Liverpool once or twice (so there's a 'look-at-what-you-could've-won' aspect) and with all the talk of Liverpool battering Watford, it may end up a bit like the FA Cup game against WBA - lots of goals, but not all of them going the way you expect.

      Or maybe I've been drinking way too much coffee.....

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah, agreed. Will Hughes looks class. The lad has a bright future ahead of him. There has been many more Watford players mentioned than expected.

        Quite possibly (although I hope not!). Haha, time will tell.

    27. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Good topic! I'm considering Oliver Burke for my FH team. Bought back into the side last week and got an assist. And having watched him more than most ( as a Forest fan) I know his quality. Pardew is holding me back...

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Cheers!

        Outstanding shout. Agreed, I remember watching a few games of his when he was at Leipzig. He's got an abundance of potential, I hope he kicks on.

        As you've said Pardew (and WBA) is the big issue. It's a shame because he's clearly quality.

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Haha, nice! As far as I know, he's nowhere near being a starter but that's definitely thinking outside the box.

        1. Herr Dier
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          Came on as sub for injured Siggy at the w'end, and SA talked him up in presser. He's so far under the radar you'd need a spade to find him.

    29. Prøfeßör …

      I'm posting this here in case anyone has missed it:

      I don't like it when people miss out on points 😉

      Sørloth confirmed to not having trained by the Norwegian media. Sørloth was reported to be out for at least two weeks by an insider yesterday.

      If this doesn't start a Tekkers bandwagon, nothing will. Buy, buy, buy!

          If you're going to go with one then go Baines - penalties factor

          However I would consider going with neither and transferring in Shaqiri as I think Stoke will score, though that's purely my opinion

          Not sure about a Bournemouth triple up in attack (esp. King + Wilson), but other than those three things mentioned above, all good

    Kane to fall tonight? Wondering if I get Mounie before the team news and save 0.1

        Fix is not reliable

    Should I sell David Silva (who will rise .1 and I’ll want him back on WC next week) or RLC who might play this week?

    Martina > Baines for -4?

    How can I see the number of transfers made by the rival?
    Thanks

      Is it possible to see if they've played their Free Hit this week anyone know?

        If they've got something like 9M in the bank and have zero transfers this GW then probably, yeah.
        Either that or they are wildcarding this week which is highly unlikely.

    Now that Borussia Dortmund are out of the Europa league, does that mean Aubameyang can now play in it?

    1. Jimmers

      No

  29. TeddiPonza

    • 15 Years

    Best replacements for Siggy and Kane/Son (with only gw 31 in mind. Wildcard in 32)

    Already got playing in 31:

    VVD Mariappa Schindler
    Salah Wally Shaqiri
    Depoitre Firmino

    Thinking Zaha and one of Stan/King

    Thoughts?

      Stanislas and Mounie

      In a similar position with depoitre. Was going to sell for -4 but realised even if the striker comes in and scores its a only 1 point gain so I'm sticking with depoitre 1 point cameo
