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?

    Thoughts?

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

    Button // Lascelles / K. Femenia / Nketiah

    - Other keepers 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

      Leno looks like rest of the season.

      Probably Martinez as the other options are youth players or guys who have had poor loan spells lower down the league.

      You won’t get many points though.
