Scoutcast Episode 315 – Christmas hangover

With a hangover like this Gameweek 20 must have been a great party.

Except it wasn’t. It was awful. Hardly anyone turned up.

The only memories of the last set of matches are of being alone, crying in the kitchen, swearing at teamsheets and wishing for a captaincy haul.

Joe and Andy struggle through their hideous Christmas hangover and their unhappy FPL Christmas Gameweek memories, hoping for better luck in Gameweek 21.

At least they’ve been handed some clues about who will start on New Year’s Day as they consider the players most and least likely to take to the pitch.

They also look further ahead, most notably to Gameweek 24, when Liverpool and West Ham have a Double Gameweek. But which three Reds assets are the best to bring in? And are any Hammers worth considering?

Joe likes to look at fixture blocks during each campaign. With this in mind, our duo answer your questions about the best players for the next mini-season during January. Form, fixtures and a world-class manager mean that Everton’s troops look particularly appealing.

The communities’ roughest and smoothest moves also get an airing, Andy takes his turn picking a differential and there are clean sheets to also consider.

    Made a few errors on my wildcard, thinking maybe double liverpool defence over attack might have been the way to go as its comprised my team structure from the way I like it.

    Schmeichel
    Trent sidibe aurier
    Kdb maddison mane grealish Salah
    Vardy ings

    Button Greenwood lundy Williams

    1ft .1itb

    Any advice please?

      There was no error on this wildcard

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Aurier certainly seems like an error.

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Easy to rectify if so

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

    3. Sasquatch Slayer

    1. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years

    4. The Mighty Hippo

      I'm currently on Salah at the moment, with Vardy vc, but it's a tough one.

      • 9 Years

    So according to Lawro's Predictions
    Newcastle 2-0 Leicester 😀

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      All the info is pointing to Newcastle breaching Leicester's defense.

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Which info?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

    1. anish10
      • 13 Years

      Just pick one and stick. The way FPL so often works you can rest assured which ever one you do choose the other will haul! 🙁

    1. St Pauli Walnuts

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Bournemouth have a great run of fixtures.

    Time to punt on Stanislas before he gets his inevitable injury?

    1. ppv
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bmouth good fixtures but look poor themselves

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
