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?

      Possibly

      Was intending to hold Kun through on the basis he was likely to be the equal of a Liverpool mid over the next few but Kun Jesus is not comparing like for like imo

      I see why the Jesus choice but not impressed with his game. Foden at 5.1 could be Bril. Not too serious about game time with him but it takes up a Cieh place.

      Will be getting a mid on FH but think it’s a valid strategy. Actually believe a double Liverpool defence post 32 may be interesting probably with VVD

        when they wrap up the league there can be possible rotations in the squad and I think some complacency as the task will be finished too

            I have close buddies across the park and I have been told rotation with youngsters a guarantee. Don't shoot me if they are talking crap. Minamino Keta Ox and Llalana will get a lot too. No different from many sides but the cost in the team is high.

      Son might get less minutes this GW since he was so active in the last match. Keep but not captain maybe?

      Rich + DCL double up worth considering based on the fixture and opponent's lack of defensive form.

    On a wildcard and thinking of BB in 33, would you have

    A: Pope and Duda/Cantwell

    B: Martinez and Saint-Maximim

    I have McCarthy already

    Mates,

    heart wrenching decision to make;

    current team looks like this;
    pope/martinez
    TAA/Saiss/Maguire/Ritchie/Lascelles
    KDB/Bruno/Saka/Guendozi/salah
    Vardy/Rash/Jimi

    thinking of bringing in Son + Doherty for Salah + Sais
    Yay or Nay?
