Strap yourself in for another bumper, Wildcard-powered ScoutCast. On the cusp of double Gameweeks, with multiple chips on standby, we’re braced for the big turning point in our seasons.

The expectation and excitement is palpable as Jonty and Andy drop in to review Gameweek 32, before feasting on a smorgasbord of questions served up by you, the community.

We tackle the Leicester/Spurs exit plans, consider Sanchez vs Ozil, contemplate selling the imperious Payet and run the rule over double Gameweek strikers. We pack that and more into 75-minutes, reserving energies for further double Gameweek casts to come.

This episode was first aired live on our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to get news of future live casts.

You can view the full version via the second player below, or drown in the sound of the edited audio version via this link or the first player.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Looking at the upcoming fixtures next 4 weeks. Will KdB outscore Özil?
    Given that KdB also is managing his minutes, he migt be also be rested/ have his gametime restricted.

    Özil
    ( whm, CPL/WBA, sun, NOR)

    KdB
    (WBA, che/new, STO, sot)

    CAPS are home games

      I think it's close enough that you could go Ozil if it improves your team significantly in another position or two. If I had to back one of them I'd pick KDB though.

      I think KDB will start every match but may get dragged after 70 mins or so

    Final no BB WC draft, I think this is my favourite!

    Migs Robles
    Delaney Darmian Gabriel Bellerin Simpson
    Lennon Payet Sanchez Coutinho Alli
    Martial Kun Lukaku

    £2.7m left over of which I need £2.5m to upgrade Lennon to Firmino in GW34. GW35 I'd like to get Kane back for Lukaku but would have to take a hit elsewhere so will worry about that nearer the time!! A lot can happen in a couple of weeks after all...

    Darmian is my only worry really but I just can't afford Smalling or DDG and have Liverpool cover as well...

    Any thoughts or suggestions?

      You've compounded my fears! I'm stuck on this:

      Robles Mignolet
      Bellerin Jagielka Gabriel Souare Simpson
      Suarez KDB Payet Coutinho Lingard
      Mitrovic Kun Lukaku

      Also worried about no united defensive cover but that probably means losing KDB or Payet

      You must read, you must persevere, you must sit up nights, you must inquire, and exert the utmost power of your mind. If one way does not lead to the desired meaning, take another; if obstacles arise, then still another; until, if your strength holds out, you will find that clear which at first looked dark. Innit..

    I am 0,2m short of getting this team:

    Darlow Robles

    Bellerin Gabriel Sakho Simpson Delaney

    KdB Alexis Payet Coutinho Lingard

    Lukaku Martial Aguero

    Only thing I can think of to finance this is downgrading Bellerin to Monreal. Any other suggestions?

      Payet -> Lanzini (and upgrade a defender/Lingard thrown in). Not much else available!
