Scoutcast Episode 334 – FPL Gameweek 31+ Wildcard Options

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?

    Auba to Rashford /Vardy/DCL?

    Have no Man Utd players and rival who is 50 off me has Rashford.

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 14 Years

      Vardy

    2. Atwood
      • 13 Years

      Crazy as it sounds I might hold Auba if I were you

      1. gers23
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I'm keeping Auba now. Aguero injury made it easier.

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Patricio - Stekelenburg
    TAA - Holgate - Lascelles - Doherty - Basham
    Mane - KDB - Bruno - Son - Saka

    1. yanky
      • 14 Years

      prefer nketiah if u have .1 leftover, good team though, what u think of my question above?

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Actually rate the greenwood pick, especially since he has saka. Think greenwood will play a lot pver the coming fixtures against the so called weaker teams, since james is mainly good when there is space

  6. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      son

  7. UnitedFan

    Krul
    Doherty - TAA - Stevens - Lundstram
    Mane - Mahrez - KDB - Fernandes
    Jiminez - Rashford
    _______________________________
    Henderson: Taylor: Nkeitah: Cantwell

    Not bothered in the least about rank, abysmal season, just trying to finish as good as i possibly can.
    Many thanks guys.

  12. Totti
    • 7 Years

    choose 1 out of those

    A) foster
    B) pope
    C) mcarthy

    1) ngakia
    2) kiko femenia

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      A2

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years

        double watford?

  13. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Fairly template WC team. Not really exited about the bench, but the team value isn't what it could/should be. I have 1.1 ITB to still work with if changes needed.

    Foster
    TAA, Doherty, Saiss, Lascelles
    Bruno, Salah(c), Son(v), KDB
    DCL, Jimenez
    (Martin; Saka, Holgate, Nketiah)

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good maybe use remaining funds to upgrade a defender?

  14. osceola31909
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Can't decide if I should take a hit to get Doherty this game week.

    Ryan-Button
    TAA - Lascelles - O'Connell - Saiss - Taylor
    Salah - Mane - Fernandes - Martial - Saka
    Auba - Jiminez - DCL
    1 ft, 0.3 itb. No wildcard left.

    If I do, it would be Auba for Rashford or Salah/Mane for Son. Any thoughts?

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I would hold, do it next week. You have Saiss as cover and Auba could be a great differential against Norwich.

  15. aidmata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Holgate or Taylor?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Holgate

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years

      Holgate

    3. aidmata

      Cheers guys

  16. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Does Lascelles get involved in set pieces?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Pops up with a header now and then
      .

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years

        Cheers

  17. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I've had rethink about my keeper situation, I've decided against Pope and was set on DDG however I think Patricio or Dabravka might be the better choices.
    I'm edging towards Dabravka as I own Doherty, who would you choose

    A. Dabravka
    B. Patricio
    C. DDG

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      c

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going C.

  18. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Would it be crazy to go with Pogba above fernandez? Looking for a differential and think he could have a point to prove what do you all think?

    1. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Think bruno is the better pick, united get loads of penalties and he will be on at least some of them. In addition I think pogba might be deeper on average while bruno will play more as a 10

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      With the amount of pens manu get its very risky.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thank you to you both for your comments I will stop trying to save funds and go with Fernandes. Thank you

    3. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't. Sure, he could have an explosive game week and then get injured/unhappy the next. Fernandes is much better.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thank you for the sound advice

    • 4 Years

    Is no one looking at Ritchie much? Only just realised he is a defender on the game... guaranteed starts?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Pricey for a Newc defender even with their fixtures imo

  26. tim_oriordan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    What do people think of this team for next week?

    Pope
