Scoutcast Episode 333 – Gameweek 30+ Free Hit and Bench Boost Drafts

1,006 Comments
Share

Joe is joined by Andy and Az to discuss Double Gameweek 30+ and reveal their squads for the start of the season.

With unlimited transfers available and chips to choose from, our trio have markedly different teams and strategies for the remainder of the campaign.

Andy and Joe are without a second Wildcard, so are opting to ignore the extra transfers managers have been given and are playing their Free Hit chip instead. They reveal the thinking behind this move as well as the players in the frame for a place in their sides.

Meanwhile, Az has the luxury of Wildcard still to play so may well have the advantage over those Free Hitting. He is also opting to play a Bench Boost chip.

However, Andy and Joe don’t make it easy for Az to choose. His selection of a certain Arsenal midfielder draws particular derision, as well as the occasional metaphor or two.

Could Az be the Darth Vader of this Gameweek with his chip advantage? Or are his troops little more than Loony Tunes creations?

As well as revealing their Gameweek 30+ line-ups they also look through the wealth of Double Gameweek players to choose from, with Sheffield United defenders and Manchester City attackers topping the bill.

They are not forgetting single Gameweek options too, especially those facing traditionally awful defences.

Long-term plans also feature, as they look ahead to the remainder of the season and the fixture swings ahead.

Clean sheets also get an airing. In addition, Joe picks a differential for the next set of fixtures, even if he struggles to pronounce his low-owned selection’s name.

    After hundreds of drafts I have finally come up to the conclusion that all the other spots except for one midfielder and one attacker are locked in my squad for this BB GW30+ squad (still got WC and FH left). How would you fill these last two spots?

    Henderson - Leno
    Targett - TAA - Doherty - Egan - Basham
    KDB - Grealish - Mount - Douglas Luiz - XXXXXX
    Aguero - Aubameyang - XXXXXX

    A) MAHREZ & JIMENEZ, 0.0 left in the bank
    B) STERLING & NKETIAH, 0.2 left in the bank but can't find any improvements with it for this GW

          Read it in the team news about Reina. Jimenez is so consistent but it is true that Samatta with 2 matches will probably have the same expected points...

    What is the best option for FH - 5th mid or 3rd fwd? Leaning towards option 2. Less risky playing 3 SHEF players (also 0.2 short for Hendo) and Rashford more explosive than Bruno. Thanks!

      Oh I'm so mad at you lol... The debate is about FH or BB this week. Depends of if you like the team you will revert to. I still think that if you have a second wildcad, use unlimited transfers to make the best possible double gameweek team now and boost it and then start from scratch next week when we have a lot more to go.
