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.

    Henderson (McGovern)
    Trent Lundstram Söyüncü (Kelly) (Rico)
    Salah Mané KDB Grealish (Hayden)
    Vardy Ings DCL
    2 free transfers (0.1ib)

    Now that Manè is injured, how about these moves:

    Vardy, Manè & Söyüncü -> Agüero, Traore & VVD

    Planning to do Maddi to Grealish fir GW25 with my FT or should I save?

      Vardy didn't really see much of the ball. Looked the same Vardy as normal though, making those long runs. The ball just never came.

      Maddison was lost in awe of the class of Grealish.

      Vardy barely got the ball but still looked hungry.
      Maddi had good chances... Should have maybe put 1 away... Nyland made a brilliant save off him. I'd sell him for Grealish

      Vardy didn't get the ball in any dangerous positions, Maddison didn't play very well but looked very promising to me for fpl purposes. He had a lot of chances so if he was more clinical he could have scored a few.

      With B you'll have Henderson, Lundstram, Grealish, KDB, Aubameyang missing in GW28,
      so A.

      There was no way he was going to choose Barcelona (practically Valencia) over United.

      Should be good for Martial and Greenwood (if/when he plays)

    So with Mane out at least until Norwrich and with him dropping tonight.

    How much do we think he will drop before he plays again?
