Scoutcast Episode 334 – FPL Gameweek 31+ Wildcard Options

3,424 Comments

Whether you have an abundance of Fantasy Premier League chips or none remaining, this latest episode of the Scoutcast has got you covered.

Joe is joined by Lateriser and Andy to look ahead to Gameweek 31+ and beyond, with a close eye on chip strategy.

Lateriser is among the many FPL managers to take advantage of unlimited transfers in Gameweek 30+ and use their Bench Boost chip. With his Wildcard now in play, he reveals the players in his thinking and how best to navigate the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile, Joe only has a Bench Boost to fall back on. Our trio looks at the best Gameweeks to consider using not only this chip, but other remaining chips too.

Andy has used all his chips but after tinkering during lockdown with his team, he feels he is in good shape to match his chip-happy rivals.

Among the issues they discuss are what to do with Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m), who blanked in his last two run-outs but has two good fixtures ahead and enticing underlying stats too.

Sticking with the Gunners, there are replacement goalkeepers to mull over, after Bernd Leno (£5.0m) suffered a nasty knock against Brighton at the weekend.

The best Liverpool assets, whether Manchester City can be swerved temporarily and the unlikely appeal of Newcastle United are also in the mix.

In this packed 75-minute show, the Scoutcasters also find time to look at the best clean sheet prospects. Lateriser takes his turn to pick a differential and there are Gameweek 31+ squads to reveal.

Who will they captain and which players can help propel them up the rankings?

    I will probably get a lot of replies for changes here, but i think this is the team i will go with on my WC. Please do comment:

    Patricio
    Trent/Aurier/Ritchie
    Mane/KDB/Son/Bruno/Martial
    DCL/Jimenez

    3.9/Taylor/Holgate/connoly

    Tried somehow to fit most attacking defs since i cant stretch to Doherty. What is your opinion? Obviously no Rashford or Mane bench could backfire

    Anyone else see a 1-0 or even 0-0 game between Pool and Palace? Liverpool looked like the worst top team last GW and Palace will park the bus for sure. Can also see Salah stating on the bench given he didn´t even get a few minutes against Everton.

      To the contrary, I think Salah starts. And Robbo too. That gives Liverpool a whole new dimension. They'll win handily. Their struggles against Everton seemed to come from a lack of width. Robertson will do wonders and Salah being constantly double marked also opens up space.

    Martinez
    TAA / Doherty / Saiss
    Salah / KDB / Son / Fernandes / Richarlison
    Jimenez / DCL

    Button // Lascelles / K. Femenia / Nketiah

    - Pope better IMO, but squeezing funds.
    - Lascelles & Kiko have fantastic rotation.
    - Wolves defence double up risky?
    - Richarlison 1 week, then shift to Pogba/Martial
    - Nketiah game time limited & Saka better, but either would be fodder anyway
