Fresh from, what was for many, a disastrous outcome of the Triple Captain, the Scoutcast are moving onto the next chip: the second Wildcard.

The Fantasy Premier League community has been debating the best time to press the overhaul button and we’ll bring you our thoughts tonight.

Join Joe, Az and Lee for the latest episode of the Scoutcast at 20:00 GMT on our YouTube channel.

The three pundits will give their views on the Wildcard as well as what to do with the injured Sadio Mané (£12.4m).

The Liverpool man, heavily backed for the Triple Captaincy in Double Gameweek 24, has already been ruled out of the game against West Ham and is a major doubt for Gameweek 25 too.

Is now the time to sell or hold Mané? Joe, Az and Lee will discuss that in some depth.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa and Leicester will be going head-to-head in their EFL Cup semi-final second leg so we will do our best to bring you updates from that game.

    Best Mane replacement for me?

    A - Son
    B - Grealish
    C - Mahrez
    D - Maddison
    E - Trossard?

    Mcarthy
    TAA Soy.Rico Lunds Targett
    Salah KDB Martial Mane Cantwell
    Vardy DCL Deeney

    will likely use the extra cash to get Robbo and upgrade Deeney

              Doesn't matter if he plays 1 or 180 minutes id tou started him you get his points which are 1,2or 3 depending on the captaincy.

    So I've got 6 players with blanks in GW28 (assuming City go through) in my current WC team:

    SHU - Henderson, Stevens & Egan
    MCI - KDB & Aguero
    AVL - Grealish

    Can bench Henderson, Stevens, Egan & KDB for McCarthy, Stephens (whu) & Mooy (WAT).

    Sell Aguero & Grealish for Vardy & Leicester mid in GW28 which gives me a full starting 11.

    Thoughts?

            Yeah DGW could possibly make us rethink the the team. Might need both Auba & Aguero?

            I sold Vardy early in the week so happy to take the risk on Aguero for the next 3 and then get Vardy.

    Can we assume that City are awaiting the qualification of the Carabao Cup final to announce the possible DGW25/26 with Arsenal? Or the notice would be too short to play it in GW25?

      It is certainly possible.

      Not the first time City will get an early DGW because of EFL Cup final. It's already happened a couple times before.

    That Villa win has really put the spanner in the works for me.
    I have Lundstrum,Grealish blanking in 28 now.
    KDB probably blanking
    Greenwood a non starter.
    5 FT’s until 28 with

    Henderson
    TAA,Digne,Lascelles, Lundstrum
    Salah,Son,KDB,Grealish
    Deeney,DCL

    McCarthy,Mane, Greenwood, Williams 0.0m itb.

    Bad idea to ship Mane now? Or look at a downgrade to upgrade Lundstrum and Greenwood for VVD and Jimenez?

      I sympathise - I have Hendo, Lund, Grealish & KDB as GW28 blankers, and also Mane, Vardy & Cantwell as injury doubts with a non-playing Reid on the bench. I don't really want to lose Mane for the sake of 1 game, so I think I'll focus on replacing Reid & maybe upgrading Cantwell/Kelly in next few weeks. For you, I would possibly considering downgrading Son/upgrading Greenwood (not sure Spurs assets are worth the cash atm).

    Why is everyone worried about Lundstram blank? You get 5 defenders and only need to play 3. Just ride it out and save the transfer
