Premium forwards are back on the menu for our Scoutcast trio as Joe, Andy and Az look ahead to Gameweek 37+ and try to pick some differentials to help Fantasy Premier League managers make a late push for mini-league glory.

While some of their tips are certainly bargains, they think this could be the week to turn to some forgotten pricier options, who have been sold by many in recent weeks.

Up top, Spurs hitman Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Arsenal talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) look primed for investment with kind fixtures for the run-in.

Meanwhile, Liverpool’s main men are under scrutiny. The underlying statistics point to a Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) haul on the horizon. But are the Premier League champions still motivated?

Recorded ahead of Thursday’s matches, all three of our Scoutcast regulars are full of hope after an average-to-bad Gameweek 36+ so far. To describe Joe’s Bench Boost this time around as laughable barely does this sorry use of a chip justice.

Our crew take a look at clean sheets for the final two matches, while Andy takes his turn to name his favourite differential for the run-in and also reveals an exciting membership offer.

The show finishes off as usual with their transfer and captaincy plans for Gameweek 37+. There are certainly plenty of differentials and forgotten premium picks to consider.

    3 questions:

    1. Who is the best defender for next 2 gameweeks? is it Digne or Tark or someone else? (aurier, stephens)

    2 Will Leno be back for last game or not?

    3. Is any other cheaper defender at Burnley worth getting?

    1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      3. Pieters or Bardsley

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

        are they both going to play both games?

      2. Klaren
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Pieters is a good option but Long is surely better than Bardsley who has no attacking threat and is prone to getting yellow cards. I know he did well on baps last match but he doesn't tend to in general.

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

          will Peters not lose his spot to Gudmundsson?

          Im trying to work out best pair of defenders for 10.8m playing 1 this week and 2 this week (BB).

          Is it Tark and 1 of Aurier, Stephens, Egan
          or
          Is it Digne and 1 of those or a non Tark Burnley defender?

          1. Klaren
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Digne and one of Long/Pieters or me. Digne due to attacking potential and there shouldn't be much difference among Burnley defenders anyway.

            1. Klaren
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              for me*

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

                thanks Klaren, Pieters is not nailed though right? presume youd start whichever Burnley player over Digne this week?

  2. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Taylor ----> Doherty worth -4?

    If Mendy doesnt play, I could end with Mendy, Taylor and Lascelles all as no -shows!

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

      Just for 37

    2. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think defenders are not worth taking out for a hit to be honest. Just takes a lapse of concentration to concede a goal then your clean sheet is blown. Doherty (I have him) although returned last week has been inconsistent. I would personally hold onto the 4 points instead.

      1. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Except he's got 2 guaranteed 0s and Mendy could be a 0 as well, so it's worth considering. I'd do it if Mendy is unlikely to start the Watford game. I've not looked into City's defensive patterns so can't say but OP should invest some time to have a look

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

          Still not for a hit personally, take the 4 points & hope for the best

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

      I wouldn't take a bit at all if your are going to FH 38

  3. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How does the team look for next GW?
    Who Should I captain?
    0FT, 0mill, FH 38

    Patricio
    AWB VVD Doherty
    KDB Salah Fernandes Pulisic Dilva
    Rashford Jesus

    Button;Nketiah, Lascelles, Simpson

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

      Salah imo

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Against Chelsea? Really?

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Liverpool will have a long rest because of no cup game! Also he's the safest pick as other big hitters might get a knock in their cup game!

        2. DannyDrinkVodka
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Top scorer in the game, rested, going against tired legs at home. Also Klopp is looking for a response - expect a vintage haul

          1. Pep Roulette
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            And at Anfield!

            1. FF Dirtbag
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Good points there...

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

                im converted

    2. yosim
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford seems to be hitting form

    3. linkafu
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah for sure no FA cup game, will be fit and hungry

    4. ZakyJ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      fernandes for me, hes always involved it seems

    5. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Captain either one of the United attackers. City rotation will be too hard to predict with FA Cup game after deadline and Salah/Pulisic both not good options this GW.

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

      Fernandes or Rashford.
      City is risky in terms of selection post FA Cup.
      Liverpool have been quite poor post winning title & against a battling Chelsea.

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

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Tark
    Sterling KDB Bruno Martial(c) Dilva
    Vardy Greenwood

    Martinez DCL Taylor Kiko 0FT 0.4ITB

    Anything worth a hit or am I g2g?

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

      I think you G2G

  5. FPL Mentor
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Azpi AWB Doherty
    KDB Sterling Bruno Martial
    Vardy Ings Deeney

    Fodder bench

    A. Azpi & Deeney > Pieters & Jiménez

    B. Azpi & Deeney > Tarkowski & Wood

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

      Is this for a -4 or free?
      Over two weeks prefer B

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

    Which one sounds best from these? FH in GW38.

    1) TAA Greenwood to Egan Ings
    2) KDB Greenwood to Ings BSilva/DSilva
    3) Ederson Puli to Ryan Mahrez

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      3

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      3 of those

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Like 3 with Pope

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

        Won't find additional 0.3 without the hit

  7. LIARS POKER
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings or Wood for a one week punt before FH?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wood

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

        This

    2. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wood is the more punty

  8. Pegboy
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Patricio (Martin)
    TAA Doherty Kiko (Taylor* Lascelles*)
    Mane KdB Bruno (c) Pulisic (Foden)
    Rash Jimenez Greenwood*

    1FT £0.4m

    I've been screwed by Taylor's injury, as I was hoping to save a FT for a mini-WC in GW38 to ditch Wolves players and make sure I've got right Man City players. My bench is looking very thin, just at the point when we might get more rotation.

    a) Save FT and play Kiko against MCI
    b) Lascelles > Burnley defender
    c) Something else

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

      B

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

    Keep 2 til the end of season:

    A Ings
    B Jimenez
    C Wood

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jimmy & Wood

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

        Thanks thats what I was thinking. Bournemouth will not be easy as they re fighting to stay in PL and Sheffield "rd defense of premier league do not looks good for Ings and saints playin for nothing

    2. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ings, is in form, can score against anybody and has looked hungry. Could have had 2 or 3 yesterday.

  10. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio owners! What are we expecting from him tonight?

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      4 goals of course.

  11. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Worth switching Mahrez > Dilva or wait until GW38?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wait until 38 surely

    2. DAVESAVES
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wait

  12. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Cant decide whether to swap DDG >> Martial for a hit? I will captain Martial if i do. Planning to FH38

    A: DDG + Digne + Pulisic....Foden 1st sub (or vice versa)
    B: Pope + Holgate + Martial (c) (-4)....Foden 1st sub

    Full team
    DDG
    Taa Doherty Holgate -- Lamptey Kiko
    KDB Mahrez Bruno Pulisic -- Foden
    Ings Rash Jimmy

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Get Tony!

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

    Best 4.6m or less defender for 1 week only before the FH?

    A. Sheff Utd (Lundstram or Egan)
    B. Burnley double-up with Pope (Pieters)

  14. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    GW 37 - Lascelles ➡️ Tark
    GW 38 - Willian and Vardy ➡️ DSilva and Auba

    Trying to decide between Salah and Wood or Auba and Silva really!

  15. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Should I play Foden (WAT away) or Pulisic (LIV away)?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pulisic - should get more minutes and Liverpool look vulnerable defensively

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, and with Pepe roulette in full force... the only thing is Chelsea will have a lot more minutes on the clock, I think they will struggle for stamina

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          They may rest one or two in the Cup semi.

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

            This. I think both Chelsea and United line ups will be feature second string players.

    2. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pulisic. Too hard to call City line up post FA Cup and Pulisic will start vs Liverpool who have looked out of sorts past few games.

  16. C'mon the Fylde
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you look to switch Pulisic for Sterling or Mahrez?

    Patricio
    Basham Doherty Egan
    Antonio Dilva Bruno Martial Pulisic
    Aubameyang Rashford

    Leno, TAA, Mings, Nketiah

  17. Sterling Malory
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which is a better option for BB next week

    A) Tarkowski + Lamptey
    B) Pieters + Stevens (or Tierney/Walker)
    C) Double Burnley

    Dont have Pope.

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

      I like A

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

        GW27? i might go C otherwise id go A

  18. JBG
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso + Nketiah to Tarkowski + Jimenez for -4 and bench Pulisic this GW worth it?

  19. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy owners, whats your plan going forward? Keeping or ditching?

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping for 37

    2. DAVESAVES
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Probably out for Jimmy

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

        Be wary of Jimi imminent baby

  20. Don Kloppeone
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Am I right to be benching Greenwood from this front 8?

    Salah, Sterling, Dilva, Bruno, Martial (C)
    Vardy, Ings, Greenwood

    Thanks!

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 9 Years

        Cheers

    3. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  21. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve got a 60 point ML league....however my rival has TC and FH left (I’ve got no chips). He has told me that he is going to TC Salah this week and I don’t even have him! How nervous should I be?!

    1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He's playing mind games. He won't tc Salah

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

      I'm in a similar position re Kane - see my question.
      Salah has been unlucky
      I'd be nervous !

    3. Rashleigh Runabouts
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Personally, I'd rather be in your position than his. 60pts is a good lead at this stage of the season. Besides, triple captain is overrated.....remembers Mane! GL

  22. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    G2G for GW38 on a FH?

    Martinez
    Alderweireld, Pieters, Cresswell
    Salah, Sterling (c), Dilva, Son, Bruno
    Auba, Kane

    Subs all fodder

  23. Pinturicchio10
    6 years, 1 month ago

    WWYD.....

    Pope, Patricio
    TAA, VVD, Lascelles, Boly, Aurier
    KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Martial, Antonio
    Greenwood, Jimenez, Jesus

    1. Pinturicchio10
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Arse. 1ft 0itb

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

      Easy save. Captaincy depends on what you're trying to achieve.

      Bench Antonio/Greenwood.

  24. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Watford to go down if they lose tonight?

    Surely one of Villa/Bournemouth can get 1 win in their 4 remaining games?

    Could be enough

  25. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Has Dyche confirmed Taylor is out? Just wondering it Pieters is nailed or not...

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

      Pieters will start regardless of taylor injury who is probably out anyway

      1. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This. Pieters has been playing OOP recently so if anything Taylor out pushes him further back

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

          I think he is more kikely to getting attacking returns at left back than where he was playing they way burnley play

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

            Ok thanks

      2. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I thought Gudmondsons return meant that Pieters was going to lose his spot in RM

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

          Gud has been back for a couppe of weeks i thi k dyche just prefers pieters atm

    2. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He has a press conference today but I think it was confirmed to be a hamstring injury. If it's hamstring, there is no way Taylor will play in the last 2 games.

  26. MHG
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hi
    I'm heading my mini league by 77 points.
    My rival has Kane which he captained last week
    Should I play safe and get Kane in for a hit to nullify him?!
    Thanks

    1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      77 is a lot of points to make up in 2 gws. Does he still have tc??

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

        No - He has a FH left. I have no chips left.
        He gained about 20 points on me this round by having Kane as VC (KDB as C)

  27. BrutalLogiC
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    One last transfer before FH in 38, any suggestions?

    TAA / Saiss / Doherty...... Alonso
    Fernandes / Martial / Salah / Puli....... D.Silva
    GW / Ings / Jim

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

      Maybe punt on Wood?

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

        hmm Wood, not for me

  28. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Playing BB, so Lascelles >>

    1. Pieters
    2. Kevin Long

    Thanks

  29. JelliedSpark968
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Wes Morgan and Luke Thomas as cheap bench options?

  30. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which should I do ?
    A. Greenwood > Jiménez
    B. Pulisic> Salah
    C. Foden> mahrez
