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.

    Just because I want the Arsenal defence to keep a clean sheet does that mean they will?

    If so I should definitely bench Payet ahead of Ozil right?

      No. Play Payet as WHU's main weapon.

      I think I'd rather Payet on current form and at home... I'd play both though. Bench the United striker if you have one.

    The Martial vs Mitrovic conundrum just gets harder and harder.

    These are the conclusion I could draw from looking at the stats:
    -Mitrovic's individual stats are superior tho Martial's (in terms of shots on target, pen area touches, goal involvement, chances created and average position).
    -Newcastle's attacking stats as a team are far better than Man United's over the last 2-4 games. With United's shots on target stats looking pretty woeful.
    -However when looking at the fixtures. Villa/Palace's defensive stats are much worse than Swans/City's (in terms of goals conceded, clean sheets, shots conceded in the box).

    Extra points are that Mitrovic is definitely on penalties and that Newcastle will have to score goals to survive.

    I genuinely have no idea who to go for.

        One interesting fact though - I notice that Townsend is now sharing corners with Shelvey.

        IF those two can get their act together, Mitrovic may indeed have a shout.

      Looks decent. Darmien is the risk but hard to fit KDB in itherwise

        I went Darmian because I was going to bench him/Smalling this week anyway and I really wanted to punt on Bolasie which wasn't possible with Smalling

          Fair enough. Same dilemma.

          To KDB or not is the question for me.

      I'm seriously considering it.

      Both having a game in 35 is a big positive for me.

    I keep hearing that KDB will play because City need top 4. I know Pellegrini cares about the club and his reputation but he's gone at the end of the season. Not getting top 4 won't be his problem. He will definitely prioritise the Champions League, especially after the result in France.

    Aside from that, De Bruyne looked absolutely knackered when he came off in the PSG game. I can't fathom the possibility of him starting all of the next 4 league games.

      He'll come off early if need be.

      He needs gametime

      If I could afford DDG and Smalling I would. The rest of the defence has too much uncertainty around playing time to risk it.

      I've had DDG for a while - thinking out doubling up with Smalling and having Smalling as my transfer out for GW 35

      I would like to but then again you can only bench 4 players in GW35 and Lukaku, Payet, Lanzini and Robles are filling these for me given DGW33 and budgets.

    In order to fit Sanchez and KDB and Payet in I will have to have two cheapies (Lanzini and Lingard).. Is this ok?or better getting Coutinho and Barkley and getting rid of KDB?

    My last idea - let's call it strong midfield draft

    DDG-Darlow
    Sakho - Gabriel - Delaney - Morgan - Simpson
    Sanchez - Ozil - KDB - Payet - Coutinho
    Aguero - Lukaku - Mitrovic

          That's better but I'm not a big fan of any Palace players atm. Lennon is probably a better fix.

      Looks great to me. I'm leaning towards the Sanchez/Ozil double up + KDB myself but don't have the money to fit both Payet and Coutinho in.
