Joe and Seb are joined by Karam to look at the key issues facing Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Double Gameweek 24.

With Manchester City, Everton, Burnley and Fulham playing twice in the next set of fixtures, there is plenty for our Scoutcast trio to consider as the gear up for the weekend’s deadline.

That’s just the start of their Double Gameweek planning. Leeds and Southampton have extra matches in Gameweek 25 and there’s a raft of further games to squeeze into the following set of fixtures.

It is a lot of information for FPL managers to take in, especially as this week’s FA Cup games will determine much of the upcoming schedule.

Luckily Seb has decided to Wildcard this week, which provides the Scoutcast with a perfect opportunity to frame the chat around the best assets to target.

The crew look through Seb’s options and provide the latest statistics from the FFScout Members area on each of the key teams involved.

Manchester City, Everton and Leeds players look vital to their planning, whether wildcarding or not. These players are certainly central to Joe and Karam’s thoughts on using their Bench Boost chip.

Tottenham’s extra games plus the importance of Harry Kane (£11.0m) to Jose Mourinho’s troops are also considered. Just how bad are Spurs without their talisman?

There’s Gameweek 23 to review, featuring some huge Rough with the Smooth bench scores. In addition, fixtures are frisked and Joe takes his turn to pick a differential, amid shock that his selection is not in more teams.

While Seb’s Wildcard understandably grabs the headlines, Joe and Karam take time at the end to reveal their transfer and captaincy plans.

  2. DMil

    • 11 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Gundogan and Sterling hooked before the hour mark

  3. jammie26

    Gundo TC back on!!!!!!!

  4. Camzy

    • 15 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Yeah it's looking like Gundo (c) this week...

    1. SharkyT
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      He look more threatening than Sterling?

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        No.

      2. DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Absolutely not. But i imagine thats something to do with opposition

  5. Ohh1454

    5 years, 17 days ago

    Thoughts on gundo TC ?

    1. HonestBlatter

      Activated currently...

  6. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    What happened with Gundo ? LOL

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      He got taken off at 57 mins same with Sterling.

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Nice

  7. GE
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    What would you do here with 2FT?

    1) Son -> Rashford
    2) Soucek -> fodder
    3) Other suggestions?

    (2FT, 3.1 itb)

    Martinez
    Cancelo/Dias/Digne
    Salah/Bruno/Son/Gundo
    DCL/Bamford/Antonio

    Bench: Messlier, Soucek, Dallas, Mee

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Can't ship Son with a potential DGW in 26. Are you BB ; why is Mee on the bench?

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        This

        1. GE
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 17 days ago

          Yes, but would you do 2)? Or something else?

      2. GE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Fair point with DGW26. Will probably play BB in GW26 and then WC27.

        Sorry, Mee on the pitch 😉 Bamford, Antonio or Son on the bench then..

    2. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      play mee over antonio,cant see a t/f though

      1. GE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Agree, but What would you do with 2FT?

        1. SharkyT
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 17 days ago

          Maybe Martinez to Pope. Start Mee over Son & roll a transfer

          1. GE
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 17 days ago

            Martinez -> Pope could work, Thanks. Worried though of the value tighted in Martinez (bought him at 4.6), and would probably want him back when Villa will get DWGs

            1. SharkyT
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 17 days ago

              In that case your looking pretty set, hard to see an obvious FT.

              I’m weighing up Son> Sterling but will
              Lose value and want him back straight away

              1. GE
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 17 days ago

                Hmm, maybe Soucek -> Lookman?

  8. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Gundo
    Raz
    Dias

    Those are your men, now go get your hits in.

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Gundo captain still ok?

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        unsure with Jesus back in the side. If i owned Raz, he'd be my captain.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I'd rather Cancelo over Dias but yes, those are the guys. I think I might just break my rules so I can get Sterling this week...

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Yes camzy! Let’s gooooo

  9. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Sterling cappo locked in

  10. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    TC Sterling, or just regular captain.... Hmm tempted. Especially given that I will not be TC Kane in 26

    1. jammie26
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Gundo TC

    2. jammie26
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Or Kane in 26. Undecided

      1. tjostolv
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Does kane hav dgw?

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Why will you not TC Kane in 26?

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Both tough games ; judging by recent performances I expect City to grab a lead and sit on it.

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Happens with only weak teams.

  11. SharkyT
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    £3.7mITB 1 FT:

    A) Son to Sterling(c)
    B) Steer to Ederson
    C) Kilman to Dias

    Currently:
    Martinez
    Cancelo Coufal Mee
    Salah Bruno Gundo (c) Greal
    Bamf DCL Antonio
    (Steer Son Dallas Kilman)

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      C

  12. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    How did Sterling and Gundo look? I’m guessing Gundo wasn’t as effective with Jesus playing

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      He's still making very advanced late runs into the box.

    2. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Yeah I'm hoping Jesus doesn't start

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Sterling could've had a couple ; but it is Swansea

  13. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Start Soucek (SHU) or Bamford (ars)?

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I'm playing Bamford.

    2. SharkyT
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Bamford

  14. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Salah > Sterling or Riedewald > Gundo. Can only have one

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Riede -> Gundo

    2. SharkyT
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Gundo

    3. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      2nd no brainer..

  15. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Pope
    Shaw Cancelo Coufal (Robbo Strujic)
    Son Gundo Salah Fernandes (Raphinha)
    DCL Bamford Antonio

    1 FT 2 ITB

    Robbo > 4.6 this week to get in Kane for Antonio next GW?

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Yes

  16. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Bernardo also rested

  17. Bushwhacker
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Brewsters time to shiiiiiine.

  18. OleBall
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Players who still have WC, BB & TC.

    Are you WC25 BB26 TCwhenever?

    1. SharkyT
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      That’s my plan

    2. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Depends. It might be that I've already many players who have DGW in GW26 then need to think twice if using wc or not.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Kane's fixtures in 26 may be too tempting to avoid TC

  19. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Cash or Targett for Dbl GW??

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Targett

      1. Warby84
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        He gets more bonus, I was leaning his way...

  20. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    2 FT, 4.8 ITB.

    Son + Stones -> Sterling + Digne/Mee a good move?

    Pope*
    Dias* Stones* Coufal
    Gundogan* Bruno Salah Son
    Bamford Antonio DCL*

    Martinez Dallas Bissouma Bednarek

    1. SharkyT
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Just son > Sterling

      1. GE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        This

      2. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Can't have 4 City. Wish I could though.

        1. SharkyT
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 17 days ago

          Ahh good point. Tricky one, good luck

    2. ajk1211
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      I have the same team apart from Bednarek and thinking of the same moves. Will wait for pressers before pulling the trigger.

  21. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Think I'm gonna tc sterling

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Against Spurs and Everton? City may well sit on a 1-0 lead in both, they've been perfectly happy to stroll around in recent games (bar the Liverpool one).

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Exactly the same as spurs then who also sit on leads ?

  22. GE
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Play 2 of these:

    1) Son
    2) Bamford
    3) Soucek
    4) Antonio

    1. Dasher0303
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Bam antonio

    2. SharkyT
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      2 & 4

  23. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Sterling TC locked in, can't wait for him to be benched

    1. SharkyT
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      He’ll start Vs Spurs but Everton is anyone’s guess

  24. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Rodri fecked. Gundo to DM. 😮

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Yaya

  25. Ronniie
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    With Gundo possibly off pens right now, think he holds the same level of appeal? Who could be on pens now for city?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      He is not off pens.

    2. jammie26
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Ederson

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Tongue in cheek from Pep.

  26. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Wham will not have double anytime soon since they lost in cup? Soucek to Gundo for free since Gundo rested?

    Pope
    Cancelo Stones Coufal
    Salah Son Bruno Raphinha Gundo*
    Antonio Bamford

    Adams Robbo Justin

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Correct. Transfer makes perfect sense to me.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Thanks mate.

  27. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    City CS wiped

  28. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    & all set for DGW24:

    Martinez
    Cancelo, Stones, Cresswell
    Sterling (C), Bruno, Souček, Tielemans
    Bamford, Antonio, DCL

    If DCL fails to play, it's Alioski off the bench. Might rejig that for Lewis, but happy the way it is currently. Taking 2 FTs into DGW25 and will go grab an additional Leeds player then, likely Raphina for Tielemans, and look at defensive options in terms of moving Lewis out.

    As an aside, Pep handily has Sterling et al off early so allons-y!

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Why would Dcl fail to play I haven’t heard anything?

      1. JohnnyCroat
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Ah, spoonerism... I meant to say if Antonio fails to play (yes it's fatigue but his hammy is tight)

  29. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Pep seriously needs to stop hooking people before 60 minutes.

  30. Matsy123
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 17 days ago

    Which midfielder to get rid of for Gundo for free ?
    Grealish Salah Sterling Soucek Bruno

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Grealish

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        No way

    2. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Soucek

    3. jammie26
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 17 days ago

      Grealish is a season keeper for me.

      1. SharkyT
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 17 days ago

        Soucek no question
