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?

    Anyone considering going with Richarlison in a 352 formation instead of Rashford? So many other better options in midfield around 8m but not so much with forwards should you want to switch

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping Tammy appears nailed when their fixtures turn but you may be right to go for Richarlison instead. He looked great against liverpool

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, but only to facilitate a Richarlison to Pogba \ martial switch next week

  2. Gentlemens club
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go? Barnes -> Son after this GW.

    McCarthy
    TAA Boly Lascelles
    KDB Salah Bruno Barnes
    DCL Rashford Jimenez

    Hendo/Stephens/Cantwell/Williams

    1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I seem to be in the minority, but I'm not sure Son's worth 9.7m as things stand.

      Team looks fine for this week. Captain?

      1. Gentlemens club
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        It's a tough one.. But Jimenez at the moment!

        1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          He's consistent. Considering it too!

  3. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Currently 54K and taking a punt to go upwards...

    How's this KDB-less GW31 Wildcard? (FH for a later week too)

    Patricio
    TAA/Aurier/Doherty
    Mane/Sarr/Son/Fernandes
    Vardy/DCL/Jimenez

    (Subs:Martin/Foden/Lascelles/Kiko Femenia)

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    1. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I tried it earlier in the season and got majorly punished, he’s the highest point midfielder for a decent price, I would try keep him

  4. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Think I'm set, off to bed.
    Current WC is.

    DDG - (Fodder)
    TAA - Doh - Saiss (Lasc / Fodder)
    Son - Salah - Mahrez - Bruno F (Foden)
    DCL - Jimi - Rashford

    0.6 ITB, so could move the 3.9 fodder to someone else that plays, maybe Femina??

    Biggest thing is no KDB, going to risk it, up to 40k from 120k after tonight, no difference in getting top 50k and top 100k really, so gunning for top 10k Kdb-less, prob back fire spectacularly!
    Also double wolves def maybe a risk, but like there fixtures!

    1. FPL_DON
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Like it, may I ask why DDG over maguire or awb?

      1. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I had maguire and pope, I thought about moving pope to rui, then just thought if I'm going double wolves, get Saiss for 0.5 cheaper, and switch maguire to ddg, that was the reasoning at least!

  5. Gubbins94.
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lads any chance of some quick feedback on the below WC team?

    Patricio Martin
    Doherty TAA Maguire Lascelles Femenia
    Salah KDB Son Bruno Foden
    DCL Jimi Greenwood

    Is the bench too weak? Planning 442 most weeks.

    1. Sid123
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Like the foden inclusion after the next 2 games

  6. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    GK Pope/Foster
    DEF TAA, Doherty, Maguire, Lascalles, Holgate
    MID Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Son, Jorghinio
    FWD Jimmy, DCL, Rashford.

    That's my wildcard with Fernandes planned for captain

    Alright or do I need Jesus?

    1. Sid123
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      G2g very good team value

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I envy your team value

      1. pablo discobar
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers lads

    3. FPL_DON
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Strong, very similar to mine. Who are you learning toward most pope or foster?

  7. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who'd you sell this gw31+ to accomodate Son?

    Salah or Mane?

    Would do it anyway next gw but I'd want Son over double Pool mid this GW against WestHam.

    1. Sid123
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Keep salah he should be fresher than mane

  8. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Those Burnley roster issues have me thinking Pope on WC. But who replaces him?

    1) Foster (similar stats)
    2) Martinez (mostly for the funds)
    3) Dubravka (saves leader, one fewer CS)
    4) Stick with Pope

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      3 could be a good differential

    2. Maddocio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      After tonight, I'm going Foster

    3. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If it has any bearing on decision-making, I already have Lascelles.

  9. Dirty Harry
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'm guessing Auba > Rashford is a no brainer? (No WC/FH)

    1. gers23
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Considering this myself. Looks decent

  10. Atwood
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Pope - Stekelenburg
    TAA - Holgate - Lascelles - Doherty - Robinson
    Mane - KDB - Bruno - Son - Saka
    Jimenez - DCL - Greenwood

  11. PortoGuy
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4th defender

    A.Holgate (Eve)
    B.Taylor (Bur)
    C. Ward (Cry)
    D. Kiko (Wat)
    E. Suggestion (max 4.5)

    1. waldo666

      1. PortoGuy
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        D it is then, cheers

    2. Saro0808
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      otherwise talyor becoz of the fixtures.

  12. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Trying to finalise my WC and think I'm pretty close, thoughts on these options?

    A) Son and DCL
    B) Berjwijn and Rashford

    1. Mr. Chimes
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      im on B rn

      1. waldo666

  13. Sid123
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On wildcard would you go A, B or C.
    A vardy and martial
    B rashford and richarlison

      C

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      C

  14. Saro0808
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero to Rashford/ Kane? (for the upcoming fixtures)
    leno to whom? ( no budget issue )

    Knowing aguero injured is ryt to go -4?

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford and Pope

      1. Saro0808
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        was kane horrible? tottenham have some good fixtures ahead,plus I feel kane is due a hattrick.
        how about ddg.he is nailed that he is gonna play.isnt he?

        1. Mino Raiola
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Kane is not due to anything atm. Sorry. He wasn't even playing as a striker. Looked more like mctommeny on bad day

        2. waldo666
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          He was pretty ordinary, yes.

    2. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford easy. Have all the stats to back it up and even tough he was rusty last game, He was still involved in multiple goal chances. Even tough I saw the spurs game, I only saw Kane walking off at half-time.

      1. Saro0808
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        he played the full game.anyways thanks,going for rashboy

  15. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one lads please, cheers:

    A) Doherty + 3.9

    B) Saiss + AWB

    Rest of the defence is Holgate, VVD, Lasceless.

    1. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I wish I knew:) kinda have the same dilemma

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Just not sure if Doherty is worth the money:/

        1. Mino Raiola
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Same. Picked Saiss 5 GW ago, and even tho he's been good I defently would have chosen D if I could redo. Don't wanna do the same mistake again....

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A if you're playing 3 atb

  16. Mino Raiola
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    To be able to upgrade Martinez on WC should I

    A) VVD to Gomez
    B) Doherty to Saiss
    C) Keep Martinez as only playing GK

  17. htfcbrad
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How's this for a FH team?

    DDG
    Gomez - Justin - Doherty
    Son - Richarlison - Salah - Martial
    Rashford - Vardy - Jimenez

    Unsure who to captain at the moment but I'm sure it'll be one of Vardy/Jimenez/Salah

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No Trent.

      Great otherwise.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Need Bruno and TAA for a FH team this week. They should be the first names on your team

  18. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lost on the last page, and hoping you can all help me bypass my own research:

    What's the Scout consensus on Alonso and Ritchie. Likely to play?...

    1. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I would steer clear as it's too much uncertenty as of now. There's so many other food options!

      1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Pork crackling, custard, sweet and sour pork hong kong style, peppered salted squid. I mean, I could go on. God, I could eat. Midnight feast...

        Cheers, btw. Probably sensible advice 😉

        1. Mino Raiola
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Lol. Wanna eat all the good!!!

  19. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all, currently 54K and taking a punt to go upwards...

    How's this KDB-less GW31 Wildcard?
    Patricio
    TAA/Aurier/Doherty
    Mane/Sarr/Son/Fernandes
    Vardy/DCL/Jimenez

    (Subs:Martin/Foden/Lascelles/Kiko Femenia)

    Thanks in advance

  20. fifa2020
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    100+ points behind, need to take all possible risks
    1.0 ITB, WC team any changes needed?

    Foster, Martinez
    TAA, Doherty, Maguire, Ritchie, Kiko
    KDB, Son, Richarlison, Bruno, Guendozi
    Rashford, Jimenez, DCL

    1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like it. There'll be plenty of changes, so keeping the 1m seems sensible.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Other than no Pool attack, I don't see too many risks there. TAA and KDB the highest owned players in the game. Lose them, then we'll talk.

      1. fifa2020
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        who to get for them?

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Obv not direct replacements, but Kane and Pogba worth a punt

      2. Pulisic 4 President
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This - unclear about the risks of this side..

  21. Rscot2
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Leno / Mahrez to Foster/bruno for 4 point hit?

    Team
    Button Leno

    Lundstram Egan Lascelles TAT Saiss

    KDB Mahrez Saka Moutinho Grealish

    Aguero Auba Jimmy

  22. thepancakeman123
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How is this wildcard team looking?
    Pope
    Arnold, Soyuncu, Saiss, Lascelles
    Salah, De Bruyne, Fernandes
    Rashford, Jimenez, Ings

    Martin, Taylor, Traore, Cantwell

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Justin for Soy

  23. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Can't really understand the Pope hate on here. City have hit their stride. No real shame for there.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Burnley barely have a starting 11 with all the contracts ending.

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        go back to last page if you've 2 mins

      2. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        ps. +1 on Royal's comment

      3. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point. That passed me by a little.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah seems super knee jerky.

      It was their first game in 3 months, away from home, to City who's basically already at game speed because they had another game couple of days ago. Not surprised they got battered

    3. Maddocio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      What Royal5 said, it isn't the score tonight that put me off but their lack of a squad

    4. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Appernelty they were barely able to field 11

      1. Mino Raiola
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Like royal5 said. Gotta read the comment better

  24. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Agonising over whether to do Sarr to Son -4.

    Other point is that my ML will have brought in Son and this would "block" him.

    How did Sarr look against Leicester? Blanked vs Palace before lockdown

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I wanted Sarr badly first GW back. But went with Graelish because of DGW. He looked really good before Covid anyway..

  25. yer old da
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which option?

    1. Keep Son and Rashford, the compromise being a bench that includes Guendouzi and Nketiah
    2. Downgrade Son to A, meaning Guendouzi and Nketiah can be upgraded to B and C
    3. Downgrade Rashford to X, meaning Guendouzi and Nketiah can be upgraded to Y and Z.

    If option 2, who would A, B and C become?

    If option 3, who would X, Y and Z become.

    Rest of the squad is:

    Pope, Martin
    TAA, Doherty, Holgate, Lascelles, Taylor
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, -, -
    Jimenez, -, -

    Cheers.

    1. ChuckN
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think both Arsenal cheapies are an option. Gendouzi is perfect bench fodder 3rd sub. Try and squeeze DCL or Ings in up front.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      make it easier to follow & you might get decent replies... hard to follow

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Need a maths degree to answer this

      1. yer old da
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Luckily I have one then

    4. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I understand the question and confirm that you should go for Option 1 i.e. no need to downgrade Son or Rasford just for the sake of upgrading your bench fodders

  26. ChuckN
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone picking/keeping city assets on Wildcard? Thinking Ederson is the only safe bet for avoiding rotation.

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      keeping KDB

      1. ChuckN
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah had him all year but this is as good a time as any to wave goodbye. Tough decisions.

    2. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      KDB and maybe Foden 5th mid. But even KDB is not safe as we see.

  27. Fit_to_drop
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ward or Holgate on WC from here until end of season? Both 4.3m.

    Will spend time on bench depending on 442/352 team choice.

    Have Richarlison.

    Cheers.

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Holgate

  28. HellasLEAF
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone seriously considering Martinez? A real bargain at that price even though Gunners have been leaky.

    Certainly frees up a little cash.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      yes i am Pope to Martinez

    2. UnitedFan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm considering him yeah. Plays for Arsenal but is a starting keeper at 4.2 so.....
