Scoutcast crew debate whether to Wildcard after Double Gameweek 24

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
    1 ITB

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

    1. Kane Toads
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A - Son would be my choice...

  3. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years

    Any ideas? Got 2 free transfers and 1.1 in the bank. Sell or hold Mane?

    Guaita Button
    TAA Soy Lund Sidibe Reid
    Mane Salah KDB Grealish Hayden
    DCL Vardy Ings

  4. Rash

    With mane out I'm thinking of doing him and greenwood to fleck and aubameyang, good moves?

    McCarthy
    Trent sidibe lundy
    Kdb mane grealish Salah mahrez
    Vardy ings

    Button greenwood dunk Williams

    2ft .4itb

    Leaves me with a benching headache though..

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not really a benching headache because Fleck is so cheap

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I like them moves looking at fixtures alone. I'm thinking of similar moves with United and arsenal fixtures

    3. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Aubameyang's blank in GW28 not bothering you? It's what's holding me back from bringing him in at the moment..

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

        Blank 28 would be prime time to use the FH?

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          seems a waste to FH in 28

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

            Which is the big blank week then?

  5. Akshatjazz
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    1. Amey

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Already played against Wolves so TC gets 3 points.

      1. Akshatjazz
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Will he atleast be benched, by that my 1st bench choice come to starting xi ??

          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

            4 years, 2 months ago

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Ofc not.

          2. Akshatjazz
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Cuz I had benched Stephens as my 1st choice

            1. Gudjohnsen
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              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.

  6. Karan14

    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?

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

      Good plan.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers Amey!

        Obviously the plan could go down the drain with suspensions or injuries but I'm hoping I can make it through.

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

          Yep
          I'm waiting for DGW news if any for City. IF they get one I'd have Aguero, if they don't I'll pass Aguero

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            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.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good.

  7. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    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?

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

      Hopefully we'll get the news before this GW deadline.
      I'm on WC and will bring Aguero in if they are getting a DGW

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      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.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Aane tc?

    3. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sane

  8. AC Yew
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any ideas for D Silva replacement.
    Current mids: Mane KDB Maddison Cantwell.
    Reached an impasse!

  9. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I'm starting to loose patience with Maddison. Who should I replace him with?

    McCarthy McGovern
    TAA Soyuncu Lundstram Rico Kelly
    Salah Mané KDB Maddison Dendoncker
    Vardy DCL Ings

    1 FT, 0.8 ITB

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish, Martial or Traoré imo

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not Martial, looking to offload him asap

      2. merin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Grealish or Traore even though both of their fixtures doesn't look that good?

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish.

  10. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    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?

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      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).

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I have double Sheffield United def, Grealish. So that's 3 for me too

  11. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    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

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Because Sheffield defense has so high EO and the fixtures are awesome. It would be a lost opportunity

  12. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Isac Hayden has disapeared on the FPL site.

    What's going on?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sorry found him

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best Sheffield United defender to own?

    (Already have Henderson)
