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.

    Any Hammers fans Around?? What’s likelihood that Fabianski starts tmoz night?? Just read Moyes comments from earlier and I have Henderson’s 11 points on my bench winning at me to come on!!! Haha

      Sounds like a good chance he starts,

          I know, too fast thinking.
          Probably a few in same boat, I say 50/50.

            Yeah I’m
            Thinking the same mate, god damn!! Hope they decide he’s not ready to play untill Brighton at the weekend now!!

      All I think fans can read into his comments is that he'll check tomorrow if he's fit enough to play.

      They'll want to protect him I'm sure, but bloody heck would they prefer to have Fabianski in between the sticks for Liverpool than the alternatives. Getting embarrassed of late.

      I'd rate it as a greater than 50% chance he plays.

    On WC

    Who would you have out of

    Aubameyang or Aguero

    &

    Jimenez or Ings

    If your team also had Firmino, KDB and Traore in it as well

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Agüero is really tempting because of his explosiveness. But he's always at risk of Pep roulette.
      I'm leaning towards Auba for fixtures.

      Personally prefer Ings (as long as he is fit)

  3. One Wheels Enough

    Snod hattie...

    1. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Will he even start?

  4. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is Martinelli going to usurp Lacazette's spot?

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Have I missed something about Martinelli ?? Has Artetta said something about him starting ?? A lot of chat on here about him

    Bottomed in old article

    Need to refresh my team. Think I'm gonna take a double hit.

    Kabasele + DCL out
    Gomez + Auba in

    Would give me this team:

    McCarthy
    Trent Digne Gomez
    Salah KDB Mahrez Grealish
    Auba Vardy Deeney

    (McGovern Rico Lundstram Cantwell*)

    What do you think?

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Really nice team. Captain Auba and you’re good to go

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Either Auba or Salah. Cheers.

  6. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Finally found my best WC team:

    Henderson
    TAA,Gomez,O’Connell
    Salah,KDB,Grealish,Fleck
    Auba,Aguero,Deeney

    Button,Lascelles,Hayden,Williams

      Looks good!

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Great team..!

        But do you think Gomez is still nailed?

  7. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I have a feeling Pep is going to have Aguero like a ping pong ball once CL is back.

    The League is drifting further away and the Mickey Mouse Cup will not cut it so CL will probably now take preference when it comes to Kun.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed - two more GWs left then getting rid

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      In any event, there's a 1000000% chance of a fit Aguero starting both legs against Real.

    As a Villa can, keen to see how Samatta gets on today

    Maddison looks so dangerous. Might keep him one more week.

    Thanks

    Best Sheffield United to own? (Don't consider the cost)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Henderson

    Henderson
    TAA Lundstram Dunk
    Mane Salah KDB Grealish
    Vardy DCL Greenwood

    McGovern Rico Soyuncu Dendoncker

    1 FT, 2.5 ITB

    Moving forward, best option??

    1. Robertson Traore Jimenez
    2. VVD Fleck Aubameyang

    Thanks All

    Vardy vs Norwich GW28

  18. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Was just about to say that Maddison is clearly a better player than Grealish & he goes on to lay off that assist

  19. Eat my goal!

    Evening chaps.

    Have had a week or so off of FPL so trying to catch up with the latest blank DGW info..

    Would really appreciate some advice on this team;

    Ramsdale Button
    Rico Soyuncu Lundstrum TAA Kelly
    Salah Mane(!) KDB Grealish Dendo
    Vardy Ings Greenwood

    2.5 ITB and 1 FT.

    So many pressing issues here.

    Will Mane & Greenwood to Aub & Traore for a -4?

    Then can focus on upgrading defence the following week.

    Again, any comments / suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Thanks

    Leichester simply can’t save their net.

  22. FOO FIGHTER

    Imagine if Samatta explodes tonight. Pukki bandwagon MK2.

  23. Revival

    I have got to get Grealish in my team very soon.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I’m tempted by Son > Grealish

      Don’t think there’s all that much between them FPL-wise

  24. aborg

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Watching the AVL - Leicester game...Wow, Grealish masterclass to help take AVL one up. Beautiful assist.

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hhhoooolllllldddd Villa

    We want hat Leicester fixture going ahead in GW28

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Rodgers and a back 3 asking Chilwell to play as a CB going to end in tears.

      Rodgers alwys implodes defensively. Plays nice attacking football but no defensive know how.

    Sorry new article.

    Would really like Auba but those 3 strikers are extreme value! Would also like Richarlison..how do I fit him in?

    Henderson Pope
    TAA VVD Lascelles
    KDB Salah Grealish Fleck
    Sergio (C) Jiminez Ings

    Bench:Pope,Lund,A.Traore,Stephens
