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?

      1) I changed from Pope to Foster tonight.
      2 is better than 3 or 4 as long as you can bench Villa players.

    The double game week has not been kind to me 73pts with Sterling cap. Regret not using any chips rival is now 80pts clear with TC left. I planned to use my free hit for GW32 for City Vs Liverpool. Looking like there may be goals in that game. City won't want Liverpool to win the League in there own back garden. My rival has Aguero who is injured looking at today's game. No doubt my rival will bring in one of my strikers. I am now thinking of using my free hit chip this game week. I see alot of points with the defenders this week so thinking of capitalising on them. My current team is below for this game week should I use my chip or just make one transfer. Sorry for long message.Thanks.

      102. Shouldn't complain but it feels like a disappointment since I had 72pts after Wednesday with 15 players still to go. Smooth was having KdB captained for his Arsenal exploits, dodged a bullet as a non-Kun owner. Jiminez and Lacelles returned as did Henderson. Rough was most things after Wednesday! Had Leno, Egan, Salah, Sterling and KdB, including Justin losing a last minute CS and Baps. Might be a small green arrow overall.

        ha! thanks for reply. Yeah that Palace game feels like a VVD game to me. Could be tight and kind of game he gets the goal to lift the team.

        Like you say if Barnes starts will just do a -4 and keep him but probably go for Martinez as he's cheap and don't want an expensive keeper rest of season on bench. Thoughts?

          Yes it makes sense even if little chance of clean sheet this week. Although thought Burnley looked awful at back and not sure about Pope for rest of season. Burnley nothing to play for. Ideally would have liked to see another game.

      Not overly keen on the front line, would prefer Jimmy over Jota, but you'd have to re-jig a couple of positions.

        Id have to lose Doherty or TAA, or Barnes to Cantwell, which would mean id have to play one of my budget players. Obviously my money is in the midfield.

    125 for the GW, Free Hit active... Aguero being crocked again is going to be some cat among the pigeons for managers at this stage in the week (under 20 hours before deadline)
