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.

    Is the only reason Bellerin is more popular than Kos because he has done better recently?

      Koscielny is quite injury prone. And Bellerin has no competition. And that.

    Is it worth to go Wickham in 33 and change him for Martial in 34?
    If I decided to do this I would have 3 DGW players for 33 (Lukaku, Wickham, Jagielka)

      Then you'll just have to use another FT to get Martial out in 35. Not worth it imo

            Indeed, and also I don't think pool's defence really warrants doubling up (although at least they have a gwk35). Rojo also a possibility, but again a risk, and Fuchs has really been great the past few weeks.

      Just right too.. He offers plenty of advice but he probably remembers when his last WC team was copied to the letter and subsequent transfers exactly the same also by god knows how many people.. its no coincidence he's struggling by his ridiculously high standards this year imo

        That's not a very logical statement on lots of levels!

      He hasn't played in the last 3 since injury so it's hard to put faith in him

      Maybe because he is not fully fit and probably won't start

    In dier need of differentials. Considering dropping Payet to the bench and starting Martial instead. Bold decisions need to be made at this time of the season.

    Am I crazy?

        I think you're confusing Moreno for Monreal.

      Strong team. Defence is weak, but I guess that's the part of the plan for that front 8

      Darlow is... you know 2 pointer
      Souare and Darmian risky

      You have unbelievable front 8 but no balance in defence. Consider downgrading Ozil to invest in better defense.

        Yeah I think that's a fair assessment. Darmian's minutes recently have looked encouraging though.

        I'd be gutted to downgrade Ozil - got 1.3M invested in him... This wildcard is such a headache!!
