It’s Friday night, so it’s time for another exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

There threatened to be an FPL BlackBox takeover this evening but it’s a full-on Scoutcast affair instead (Mark and Az both had late work commitments), with Andy North joined by Hall of Fame #68, Seb Wassell.

The pair will be chatting over on our YouTube channel about their own teams and how they’re approaching Gameweek 26 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Andy and Seb are live from 20:00 GMT, with the stream watchable via the embedded video below.

And if you’ve missed the start or indeed the whole of the live broadcast, you can of course still watch the stream back from the start in its entirety.

Only Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout will be able to watch the video below, so make sure you sign up today to get access to not just this stream but also exclusive YouTube content from Andy, Mark and others throughout the 2022/23 campaign.

    Mings or Botman for 5th defender slot? I have Trippier already and am never a fan of the double up in defence

      Mings I'd say, I don't think Newcastle will get as many CS as they did before WC break. But than again, I do think they will get more CS than Villa haha. So take that as you will.

      Or just go Shaw and field one less player in 28? It's a defender so can't hurt much and it could be covers by having shaw in the bb29 and beyond and may even save a transfer later on.

      Shameless copy and paste but:

      When 29 draws to a close, you'll have 9FT to use until season ends. I don't wanna be chopping and changing 4th/5th defenders at that point. Botman is perfect - cheap, nailed, good points potential, no more blanks.

    B. Watkins (AVL at home)

    Leaning towards Watkins as he’s on pens. Also March has had a niggle which may affect game time / performance.

      I mean I’m leaning towards playing Watkins (benching March).

    To WC or not to WC?

    I’m fairly happy with my team as it is but conscious that I have no Brighton and only Toney from Brentford - should I be wildcarding particularly with a GW29 bench boost in mind to bring some of those players in?

    Kepa
    Tripps White Tark
    Salah Saka Odegaard Rashy
    Haaland Kane Toney

        Tricky one, what would you do in my situation? I’m considering Dawson > Estupinian for free

          I'm probably going bueno to estupinan, considering his injury he prb missed 28, and estu has the double next gw.

            I would do the same but short of the funds, Dawson may have to go, that gamble did not work last week

      In the same situation, but with Shaw instead of Dawson and Watkins over Toney. Holding my WC.

    Rolling with the 3 amigos again. Think it probably peaked at 67 points between them this gw, and I would like zinchenko, but here we go.

    Saka(c)- Ode - Martinelli.

    Tear it up again please.

    Think I’ve gone mad, but likely going without Haaland on WC. Can’t drop either Kane or Watkins, Toney has 6 fixtures compared to Haaland’s 3 fixtures over the next 4GW’s. Have money ITB to do Toney to Haaland from GW30.

    Going to go to DFS tomorrow to buy a sofa to hide behind at the 12:30 KO

      Bad idea, awful idea. EBH has the potential to score 10 goals over 4 game weeks. Also, don't forget that Toney is two yellow cards away from a ban.

    Is losing Shaw this week a bad move?

    I feel he could do some damage to TAA’s sloppy defending…

      It depends on who else you have in your team. Besides, it would be Rashford up against TAA, not Shaw.
