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.

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

    Really on the fence if I should triple captain Lukaku, or wait for GW37. Any brilliant insight?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I fancy Costa for the GW37 TC.

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm triple captaining him this week but only because I've taken an 8 point hit (non-WCer) and got H2H's to win!) I probably wouldn't otherwise.

    3. sinik

      TC Sanchez GW38 v Villa. They'll put on a show at home on the last game of the season

  2. Jay_
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I've benched 24 points, on THREE different occasions in the last 10 gameweeks, plus benched scores of 18 and 19 in that period too. 150 points benched in the last 10 weeks and that's including 0 when I only had 11 men in gw30. That's got to be a record.

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That's why Lee Cattermole has actually been one of my best players!

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Having a high TV as a poisoned chalice, glad to have Lanzini in there now. I envy you and others with the Cattermoles and Westwoods

            1. Jay_
                9 years, 8 months ago

                *has been

        2. Rusty Nail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Ozil vs de bruyne is so tough I really can't decide ozil is guaranteed minutes and superior fixtures although form has dipped only positive for de bruyne is goal threat but his minutes are a concern

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Sticking with Ozil this week. If KDB does well again he's in for the DGW.

            1. Rusty Nail
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              If pellegrini hints at we bruyne bench im keeping ozil fancy arsenal to score plenty till end of season

          2. Amateur Pundit Zan
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            KDB looks hungry to make up for lost time.
            Ozil look knackered
            I'm going KDB and hoping that overcomes Arsenal better fixtures and less congestion

        3. krishna
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Who is the most nailed on west ham defender after creswell? who gets the nod between ogbonna and Reid to start both dgw games?

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Reid

            1. sully29
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Why is Reid nailed on?

          2. F_Ivanovic
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Wouldn't be bringing in any West Ham defender. Useless at keeping CS and they have the blank in 35.

            1. krishna
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              They kept out Sunderland and spurs consecutively not very long ago..also,imo can B interesting differentials ,no?

              1. F_Ivanovic
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Spurs - good CS there I guess. But last 3 games they've conceded 2 goals in each. They could get a CS in these fixtures, but they're not good enough defensively to warrant a spot that takes up a spot in 35. You'll want a United defender, Lukaku, Lanzini and/or Payet. And an Everton defender and/or midfielder given they have 4 fixtures in the next 2 GW. All these players have blanks in 35 so if you include a WH defender you won't have enough for 35.

        4. Atwood
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Vardy to drop tonight?

          1. The Nuttmxn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I'd say no.

        5. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          my coworker friend doesn't overly care about FPL (first season) but he wants to beat the coworker just above him..asked if he cares about keeping Aguero and he said nope..put together this team for him in 5 minutes, he only has like 101m or so SV think he could do pretty well, still has BB, ranked like 400k:

          DDG - Darlow
          Monreal - Gabriel - Clichy - Sakho - Coleman
          Coutinho - Firmino - Sanchez - De Bruyne - Payet
          Rashford - Lukaku - Mitrovic

          1. Rusty Nail
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I'd be all over rashford if Rooney wasn't close to returning can see him scoring nicely in 34

          2. Rusty Nail
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Is that a 101m team?

            1. sinik
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              give or take..my SV is 106.5m and making this team leaves me 6m left over..so adjust for when I bought certain players (like Aguero) that I've sold just now in recreating on my end

              1. Rusty Nail
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Rashford does wonders for the rest of team can build an epic squad

                1. sinik
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  yeah it's a bit of fun to take some of the risks I would never take with my own team

                  1. Rusty Nail
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    Double Liverpool could be golden seriously considered it myself

        6. Amateur Pundit Zan
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Repost: Another day, another WC draft.

          Robles, Darlow
          Lovren, Moreno, Gabriel, Smalling, X
          Sanchez, KDB, Coutinho, X, X
          Aguero, Lukaku, Mitrovic

          Who is X?
          a) ozil, evans and lingard
          b) payet, janmaat and iwobi

          1. Rusty Nail
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Don't like either sorry

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Can you not stretch to Ozil, x, Lanzini?

            1. Amateur Pundit Zan
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              i can if x is 3.9m...

            2. Amateur Pundit Zan
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              can do b with lanzini but creates an extra 35 blank to manage

          2. Test Eagles
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            B if i had to chose, but don't like double Newcastle defense

            1. Amateur Pundit Zan
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              wk35 could get ugly for sure with a newcastle triple up

            2. Amateur Pundit Zan
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              what about
              C Payet, jags and iwobi

        7. F_Ivanovic
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No WC. Currently have 3 players with no DGW next week - Kane, Dier, Van Djik.

          I really don't want to go next GW without some United defence. However, I already have 4 outfielders who blank in 35 (Jags, Lukaku, Lingard, Lanzini) so getting another non-35 player would mean I will only be able to field 10 players for week 35 (also even then, seems silly to take out a player with a blank in 35 as they would have a double in 37)

          Have almost exact funds next week to do Dier + Van Djik to Smalling and Gabriel (0.1m in bank left over) - only way I can really get a nailed on United defender in my team.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        9. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          So double up on Arsenal defence this week or play Janmaat ahead of Gabriel?

        10. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Any price changes of interest this evening fellas?

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            We will know in T-24 minutes

          2. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Lennon and Barkley probably

            1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              And Robles

          3. The Nuttmxn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Ozil drop perhaps.

          4. Clintymints
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Thx guys. I use FPLstatistics, but not sure what the latest prediction sites are - just in case they differ

        11. Test Eagles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I'd love to know what Pardew is going to do with his strikers ... if i thought Wickham would start both games he'd be an incredible differential for this week!

          1. Nerazzuro
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I have him so hoping he does start and get a lot of minutes and goals for the DGW!

          2. Jay_
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Was bigging up Gayle today, a lot, he sounds the most likely to play most minutes now.

            • Rusty Nail
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              If he hadnt been injured I'd pick him don't like any of the others

            • kalmoffit
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Guessing that if he thought Gayle was so good, he'd have played him more.

              1. Nerazzuro
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Pardew said he would "get some minutes" last weekend so on that snippet i took a punt on him playing both games this DGW

                1. Test Eagles
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  As in Gayle?

                  1. Nerazzuro
                    • 11 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    Sorry, i meant Wickham. Was a reply fail

            • kalmoffit
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Thing is; Gayle's not really a CF, someone who can hold the ball while the rest get forward.
              That is Adebayor or Wickham.

            • Jersey
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              he can't start this week, can he? i seriously doubt it.

              he has been out to long, can't be match fit.

              he will be on the bench Saturday, i have to believe. and if he gets 20-25 minutes, will he be fit
              for a double next week?

          3. sully29
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Robles Darlow
            Gabriel, Jagielka, Sakho, Mangala, Simpson
            Sanchez, Payet, Coutinho, Mata, Lanzini
            Aguero, Lukaku, Kane

            Still experimenting. Defence too weak?

            1. Rusty Nail
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I'd lose mangala kompany close to return rest looks fine could lose kane and get bellerin/monreal and smalling/de gea.

              1. sully29
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Didn't realise Kompany was returning that soon. Wasn't that keen on Mangala anyway, just hard to find good picks in that price range.

                1. Sess!
                  • 15 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  Kompany might be back for Psg second leg.

          4. C_G
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            thoughts on upcoming GWs plans?

            Robles

            VVD Simpson Delaney

            Lennon Sanchez Cout KDB

            Aguero martial Lukaku

            Bench - Darlow Payet Bellerin Sakho

            Will do Martial & Lennon----> Pelle & Iwobi for GW35, and will play 4 defenders.

          5. kalmoffit
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Why is Ighalo in so few teams?

            1. Test Eagles
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Coz he's rubbish now

            2. sully29
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Out of form, out of motivation.

            3. Sess!
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Out of form and Flores not happy with him (got hauled off last game).

            4. Rusty Nail
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Watford dropped of considerably but definitely could do well

            5. The Nuttmxn
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Gonna go out on a limb and say it's the lack of PL goals.

            6. Clintymints
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              He's just an Ighalo, and everywhere he goes...

              he ain't got nobodayyyyyy

          6. Test Eagles
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            My team looks so much more balanced and future-proof without KDB. Downgrading to Payet, Lanzini, Iwobi, etc. gives so much flexibility.

            The danger is ... he could go crazy!!

            1. sully29
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Aye, he was too expensive to fit in for me too. Could go crazy but then so could whoever we leave out.

            2. Clintymints
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Mine looks perfectly fine with no Coutinho but with KdB in

              I just want them both

            How does Hendo's injury affect Pool's midfield? Does Milner now drop back deep with Can so that Coutinho, Lallana and Firmino can play up front? If so, will Firmino still play in the center?

              Can is suspended. I think they'll play quite a few randoms (and Joe Allen) against Stoke, Dortmund is the only priority. I'm thinking of punting on Bolasie that week with money in the bank to upgrade depending on what happens.

                I am doing the exact same thing, question is - how much to leave itb? 0.5 for Milner or 2-2.2 for Firmino/Coutinho?

                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  I'm too scared of Firmino to not have that option.

              It's not good, probably and probably.

              Midfield too weak

              Too much investment in the rear, avoid the Kim Kardashian formation.

              Smalling and Otamendi are overpriced for their respective outputs imo

                9 years, 8 months ago

                Agree with this. I want Smalling but I'd probably end up leaving him out GW33 and he blanks in GW35 of course. Not worth it in my opinion. Otamendi might be worth a punt, but there's whispers of Kompany being rushed back...

                1. QGOONER
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  They're both definitely nailed on... Their outputs are simply not good enough for their price (i.e. low BPS, goals, assists, etc.)

            4. How's Your Gowl
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Maybe Lanzini over Iwobi.

                So my reason for keeping him in that I had him from the start with a heap of value tied up is waning as I approach the deadline to complete my WC.....would open doors downgrading but think I'm gunna stick fat

                Have both atm but likely to drop bellers in order to afford some other folk

                I'm pretty bitter with Bellerin since I sold him 3 weeks ago after having for months 😐

                  Same got 3 assists in 2 games lol was sickening but I quickly rectified it. Hope the Leicester and Spurs lads don't punish me

                yep, with KDB Alexis Payet Martial and some United cover (dont like it but Darmian is the cheapest, so-so safe route), there is no money left for Bellerin

                Glad I did Siggy to Firmino last night. And held off on Gabriel - felt that the wildcard would be affecting Gabriel's score
