The Scoutcast returned on Tuesday night to discuss all the key Fantasy Premier League talking points for Gameweek 37.

It was the first produced since we found out the deeply shocking news of Joe’s admission to hospital.

Our Scoutcast host was diagnosed with a bleed on the brain last week, so we thought it best to give the show a short break.

In preparing for this latest episode, Andy, David and Az found that we were being asked more questions about Joe than about the football itself, which we found incredibly touching.

So were able to provide an update on Joe who is obviously directing all his attention towards his recovery:

“Hi, Joe here from my hospital bed.  I understand that there have been lots of kind messages asking after me.  That’s been great to hear and I really appreciate your support, sorry I can’t reply directly at the moment. I am facing a massive challenge and all my energy is focused on getting better (and triple-captaining Aguero against Leicester 😉)”

In terms of Gameweek 37 issues, we started off by looking at the dilemma of Jamie Vardy (£9.0m), who has been in fantastic form but has two tough fixtures to finish off the season.

Then we flipped things round and discussed the points potential of Manchester United players.

They have appealing fixtures against Huddersfield (away) and Cardiff (home) but are not in particularly strong form.

The Scoutcast was then rounded off by considering strategies for either protecting mini-league leads or catching up to them.

Unfortunately, given current circumstances, we will be unable to convert the final two Scoutcasts of the 2018/19 season into podcast form – but they will still be accessible on YouTube and embedded in the article below.

We hope to be able to return to cross-platform posting for the start of the new campaign.

  6. FiddySmith
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Would quite like a back 5 of TAA - Robbo - Digne - Shaw - PVA for the remaining 2 games!!

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mendy over Digne if you want full maverick points

  7. Conners
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all

    Based on my team below, would you save FT or make a change? Only transfer I could think of is Ryan to Guita but open to suggestions.

    Boruc

    Robertson - Laporte - AWB
    Salah - Sterling - Mane - Son - Jota
    Jimi - Wilson

    Ryan / Barnes - Kola - Pereira

    Thanks!

    1. Men in green tights
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kola or perie to shaw

  8. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Son, Sterling and Pogba are really annoying me at the moment.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      They could all do well this gameweek

  9. Goodnight Kiwi
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Lloris (Foster)
    Laporte, TAA, Doherty (Valery, Duffy)
    Salah (vc), Mane, Son, Jota, JWP
    Aguero (c), Jiminez (Ings)

    a. Son to Pogba?
    b. Hold and 2 transfers for last GW?

    1. Kuzser
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Very similar team (see below) and same question. Save I think

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Save FT imo.

    3. Roy Rovers
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

  10. Tsssst
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    anyone taking hits at this stage?
    if so, who for?

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Was talked out of hits for ManU players myself. But depends who for. If taking hits I would say only for ManU in this week

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Did Eriksen son vardy > hazard sterling long for -8

        1. The Head-Ake
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Omg, that's one of my options haha. -4 though. You think it's worth it?

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Nothing to lose at this point, might as well make it interesting..

    2. Men in green tights
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Toying with hits on utd keeping talking myself out of it but it could be good shaw , pogs or lukaku as well as rash depending on news

    3. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      With 3 transfers left for the last 2 gameweeks I don't think I'll be taking any hits. Very tough to gain those points back in 2 gameweeks.

    4. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      PVA and one of Pog/Bilv

      It’s a double move so it’s a -2 for each in my head.

      Doherty and Eriksen out, could also do Son out for the other mid for a -8 if I’m feeling super ballsy.

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        But wouldn’t it really be just two minus 4s in your head

    5. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      For Hazard as an OR punt. Two routes both using Son

      A Lose VVD and double Liverpool defence I don’t trust in 37/8. Bonus Palace defence which I like

      B Lose Vardy who may return but is unlikely to haul. Double down on gamble and get Wilson

  11. Kuzser
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    How to catch a ML leader who is 6 points ahead, has Sterling fraser Vardy (no ManU)?
    My differentials are jota, Salah, Son and Wilson

    My team for gw37:
    Foster (Ryan)
    Taa Doherty Vertongen (Duffy valery)
    Son jota mane Salah(Redmond)
    Jimenez Wilson Aguero

    What is the best move now? 1ft, 0.4itb
    1) save ft and play current team
    2) salah-> sterling and match a ML leader
    3) mane/son->pogba
    4) duffy-> kola/ shaw
    5) mane Vertongen-> sterling shaw for -4
    6) Wilson-> Rashford/ Zaha

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      6 points is nothing.
      4 for me. Bring Shaw in for Duffy
      Kun or Salah Captain

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Duffy to Shaw seems like a good move.

      Captain Kun and let the differentials do the rest.

      1. Kuzser
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        thanks, but then who to bench this week? not worth saving a ft and do #5 for free next week?

  12. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    RP because bottomed:

    1) Vardy + Eriksen to Haz + Rash/Wilson/Zaha
    2) Vardy + Eriksen + Son to Haz + Pogba + Wilson/Rash/Zaha (-4)
    3) Vardy + Eriksen + Son to Haz + Sterling + Long (-4)

    Leading ML by a narrow margin, second in ML has Haz, Pogba, Wilson and Rash and doesn't make more than a transfer at most. Help

    1. Kuzser
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1 with Rash(if fit) or zaha

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Have Kun(C) so tht should cover for sterling?

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you're leading be a narrow marching I wouldn't sell quality players like Vardy, Eriksen & Son for a hit.

      Either 1 or just Eriksen to Pogba.

  13. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Play jwp or Ings ?

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      JWP

  14. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Lloris
    Robbo - Doherty - Duffy
    Sterling - Mane - Eriksen - Son - Jota
    Aguero - Jimenez

    (Ryan - Ings - Bednarek - Valery)
    0.5m & 2 FTs

    A) Duffy to Shaw
    B) Eriksen & Duffy to VVD & B.Silva
    C) Eriksen & Duffy to TAA/Shaw & Pogba

    Won't go for TAA if he starts tonight as I think there's a good chance of rotation this weekend.
    Although if he's benched today which in unlikely then I'll definitely get him.

    Appreciate your thoughts! 🙂

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C

  15. MikeLowrey
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A) Son to Pogba
    B) Firmino to Lukaku
    C) Firmino & Duffy to Wilson and Robbo (-4)
    D) Firmino & Son to Kun & Siggy (-4)

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      D

  16. Roonster
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen > Pogba

    or

    Eriksen and Vardy > Siggy and Aguero (-4)

  17. shearer9
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Tripp and Son to Shaw and Haz for -4? Or save FT.

  18. HUMAN TRIPOD
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts on transfers below?

    Ryan (Foster)
    Laporte Robertson Boly (Valery Duffy)
    Mane Sterling Eriksen Son Jota
    Firmino Jiminez (Wilson)

    a) Eriksen to Pogba
    b) Eriksen to JWP and Firmino to Aguero/Lukaku (-4, mini-league rival below has Aguero)
    c) Eriksen to Hazard and Firmino to Long (-4)
    d) Foster to DDG for another -4 to b) or c) (mini-league rival has Lindelof)

  19. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Got 2 FT to use?

    Son > Pogba?

    Duffy > Shaw?

    Anything better?

    Lloris
    Laporte - Trent - Doherty
    Salah - Sterling - Son - Jota
    Aguero - Jimenez - Wilson

    Foster - Deulofeu - Duffy - Valery

    .2 itb

    1. Jones Kusi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like Duffy to Shaw but not Son to Pogba.

    2. HUMAN TRIPOD
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Deulofeu to JWP/Redmond/Hojbjerg
      Duffy to Shaw

      But then would you be benching Wilson?
      Son to Pogba better next week (Son with a weeks rest vs Bournmouth)

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers

  20. Blanka
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Chasing 30 points.

    This for a - 8,will be all differentials in my mini league.

    Salah, Son, Deulofeu > Haz, Pogba, Bilva

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      *38 points

      1. Blanka
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yup!!

    2. HUMAN TRIPOD
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Think Lukaku will be a better differential than Pogba and possibly more likely to haul?

      1. Blanka
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I did think him before actually, worth still considering!

      2. Blanka
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        How about this one,

        Robbo, Salah and Llorente > Shaw, Pogba and Lukaku? Lol

  21. Jones Kusi
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Which option?
    A. Eriksen > Pogba
    B. Duffy > Shaw

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B looks solid

  22. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT 1.0 mil itb
    Eriksen will became Hazard,but I'm 0.7 short
    Can you suggest me second transfer?

    Lloris
    Laporte TAA Doherty
    Sterling Mane Eriksen Son
    Aguero Jimenez Gray
    (Foster Redmond Yoshida Dunk)

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Foster or Dunk to 3.9 players?

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Feels like transfer wasted
        Would you do Gray to Long?

        1. JBG
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Gray to Long could be a option as well.

      2. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Or Lloris to guaita/Gunn

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can you do Gray > Calvert Lewin, or are you short?

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        0.2 short

  23. ludaslol
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    TC Aguero jota or jimenez?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kun

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero. Too much inconsistency in Wolves results.

      1. Men in green tights
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Same can be said about kun last few games 2.5.2and 9pts

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Not really.

          When you look at Aguero, you need to look at his home form in isolation. 5 pts against Spurs and he was hauled early, missed the Cardiff game, 5 pts against Watford, 9 against West Ham and 17 against Chelsea, so he's returned in his last 4 - that isn't inconsistent.

          I admire Nuno and Wolves a lot, but they are too inconsistent for the TC chip. Which Wolves are going to turn up? The one that beat Arsenal, or the one that couldn't score past Brighton. Too much of a gamble IMO.

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero

    4. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kun

    5. Men in green tights
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait till city play Brighton and then go Kun

  24. Trovsmash
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A. Eriksen > Pogba
    B. Eriksen > Bsilva
    C. Eriksen > Sane

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like B.

    3. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one. Between A or B for me.

  25. Fantasydreamer
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    30 point lead, rival has sterling (and likely to captain this week) I have Aguero.

    Would you do mane and son to sterling and redmond for a -4 as a block? (Both have salah, he doesn’t have mane or son)

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No way.

    2. Fantasydreamer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Should point out, I’m not bothered about overall rank just my ML!

  26. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Kun or Sterling? it's killing me I need to make up points

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go Sterling.

      1. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers the armband is on him for now

      2. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Monstrous rank by the way, well done. Sterling it is lol

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers! Good luck.

    2. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kun.

      1. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        thanks aleksios

  27. Roy Rovers
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Leading ML by 14!!

    Salah, Son and Eriksen > Sterling, Hazard and Pogba for -4...

    Lloris
    TAA Doherty Duffy
    Son Deulofeu Salah Eriksen
    Aguero Firmino Jiminez

    Foster Hojberg Valery Bednarek

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Son & Eriksen to Sterling & Bilva

      1. Men in green tights
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This sounds better than my idea below

      2. Roy Rovers
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Like this but 0.3 short

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not keen on Salah out, especially for a hit.

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers AVFC82....congrats on rank....what would you do with this lot for last 2GW?

        1. avfc82

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, if you were to sell Eriksen and Firmino, and bring in Sterling, how much would you have for your forward?

          Or Eriksen, Son > Bernardo, Hazard as Cro Klopp says, thats a good suggestion too.

          1. Roy Rovers

            I’d have 8m ITB for the forward.

              Hmm, I think I prefer the move involving Bernardo and Hazard but if you really want Sterling, maybe Wilson or Mitrovic for the striker spot, or even Calvert-Lewin if you want to take a risk!

              Something's putting me off United, but the fixtures couldn't be better.

          Yes,but you have Aguero and in him and Hazard you have 2 captain options,so Bilva is a good option imo
