Have we fallen hook, line and sinker? After taking a beating by a cast of talent sacrificed in our Gameweek 33 Wildcards, it certainly feels we’ve obliviously wandered over a trapdoor and slammed back down to earth.

We’re back up to full strength in the ScoutCast as Jonty, Andy and Luke join me to compare the bruises inflicted by our Gameweek 33 refresh. We endevour to remain optimistic, clinging to the hope that the Gameweek 34 bench boost chip will deliver and help us balm the damage from a disastrous weekend.

Judging by the line of questioning from the community, we’re not the only ones smarting. The four of us pick through your bout of queries, before looking ahead the weekend and the Gameweek that could yet revive our seasons.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get a heads up on future broadcasts.

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

    Gabriel and Bolasie out for....

    A) Fosu Mensah and Ali (-4)

    B) Fosu Mensah and Townsend (-4)

    C) just do Bolasie to Townsend

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      None of them

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      C - don't think FM is nailed enough

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks guys

    3. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A or B

  2. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lennon > Firmino/Cout is a no brainer BUT

    Do I also take 2 hits for:
    Bolasie > Milner (or roll the dice and keep Bolasie for his double)
    &
    Dann > PVA (need to do to raise funds for Milner)

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Just the first

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

    If I can afford Rojo over FM should I do it? All I'm concerned about is security of starts?

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

      Very difficult to say. I hope FM will start both on form but....

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

      Rojo is safer

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

    BB active! Thoughts on this?

    Joel Darlow

    Bell TFM Simpson Sakho Delaney

    Payet KDB san(c)hez Cout Iwobi

    Kun Kaku Mitrovic

  5. okan58
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    De Gea
    Bellerin - Alderweireld - Fuchs
    Mahrez - Alli - Payet - De Bruyne
    Lukaku - Kane - Aguero
    Subs: Mignolet, Iwobi, Moreno and Cresswell.

    0FT:
    Bank: 1.1

    --
    Should I use my bench boost?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

  6. Tmel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Would Coutinho > Nasri or Milner be a stupid transfer?

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

      No.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Defo

    3. Lego-Lars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      yes

    4. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  7. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Selling Coutinho for another Arsenal mid then.
    Sounds ridiculous but the hectic schedule is madness to allow rotation.

    Villarreal, Sevilla, Liverpool, Skakhtar D,

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sunday bou dgw34
      Midweek EVE dgw34 + Weekend NEW gw35
      Midweek Europa 1st leg + Weekend swa gw36
      Midweek Europa 2nd leg + Weekend WAT dgw37
      Midweek CHE dgw37 + weekend wba gw38
      (Two week break)
      Europa finals at Basel

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        If Pool gets into the finals, then they visit Basel 😆

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You know Liverpool will play only 1 of those 3 other teams?

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes definitely. Shaktar a faraway traveling for Pool. Sevilla and Villarreal looked no easy for Pool. Any draw against them tomorrow is a rotation risk for Pool in PL matches. Sigh!

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Its a minefield right now to be fair

          1. Mark-O
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Mignolet 99% nailed.
            Other possible nailed: Moreno, Clyne
            The rest is a punt

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

    Nasri will get minutes in Gw34?
    What do we think?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      90

  9. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    City & Liverpool getting through to the last 4 have really screwed our FPL teams up

    Do I care....... No

    Real Football > FPL

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I concur

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I get the real footy over fpl deffo

      I don't wish anyone but spurs to do well in Europe..they all rivals that I want to fail. Fair play tho game of opinions..respect yours but don't understand.

  10. Manani
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    is my team too much of a rotation risk for a WC team??
    Mignolet Robles
    Azp Bellerin Moreno Fosu Simpson
    Alli Pazini Coutinho Iwobi Sanchez
    Kane Kun Martial

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Team looks good imo

    2. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No I like it. Stick.

    3. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Lol whose pazini.

      I want him

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Payet and Lanzini mixed 😆

    4. Birthday Sess
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nah looks fine

  11. XABI 15
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Darlow Robles
    Bellerin Fosu Simpson PVA Sahko
    Lanzini Payet Coutinho Ozil Sanchez
    Aguero Rashford Lukaku.

    Bench boost look good?
    I have 4.8 million in the bank to get Kane + Pelle in for Lukaku + rashford next week.

  12. cjw176
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Lukaku/Robles to Martial/DDG(-4) worth it?

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      go for it, the fixtures are as good as it gets for United

  13. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku > Martial or Rashford for a free?

    1. Birthday Sess
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Think Martial is safer

  14. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    My brain is gonna explode. Cannot decide on coutinho, milner or nasri to bring in... Help:(

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Milner due a rest
      Coutinio will probably start one in next 3
      Nasri back from long term injury so will be rested surely

      Milner I'd go tho

  15. feym2403
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

      Scenario B squad

      Cech - Tobi Bellerin Fosu - KDB Sanchez Payet Cou - Kane Lukaku Pelle

  16. bobinjo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Barkley out,Lennon out....might as well sell Trollkaku

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

      Your thoughts lads?

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

        Sell all 3 tbh.

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Well he's doing nothin with them..can't get any worse.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait until pressers tomorrow but sell Lennon if he's out. I'd keep Lukaku.

  17. Birthday Sess
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you lose for Martial? (To fund Sanchez)

    Lukaku or Kane?

    1. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Form over fixtures... Lukaku.
      But he plays 2 games

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku

    3. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kane...just

    4. Birthday Sess
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hmm still no clearer. Thanks for the responses

  18. Belalugozi78
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Evening gents,

    What option would you chose?
    A. Gabriel, Bolasie -- Fosu, Iwobi + 2mil to get Kane back in 35

    B. Delaney, Bolasie --- Fosu, Milner not enough money to get Kane so probably get Pelle

    1. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A with Lanzini instead of Bolasie

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I;m selling Bolasie

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. Birthday Sess
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely A

    4. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      3-0 for A.... thank you for help. I see a lot of hope in Delaney against Arsenal and United away... well I would't expect

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

    The defending for the sakho and lovren goals was scandolous on dortmunds part deserved what they got

    1. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Liverpool defending was't better

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        sakho was playin like hed just got out of bed....... redeemed himself tho 😉

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

        Was yeah conceded less goals

        1. Belalugozi78
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Ok.. as you say so.
          Clyne at 3rd goal and especially Sakho at 1 and 2nd goal positional play was really bad. This kind of result for so many mistakes won't happen again against Villarreal or Sevilla.

  20. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    For Darmian, would you rather get:
    A) TFM
    B) Rojo
    C) Neither

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

      Rojo

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers.

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        My thinking too. Cheers.

    3. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers.

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A easily. Better for baps.

      Rojo gets dragged off early

    5. Manani
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say both are just as good. but rojo is 1.1m more expensive, so I will go with TFM

    6. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A. Cheaper more attacking threat and loves the baps.

    7. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks all.

  21. Tmel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Playing BB:

    Robles Darlow
    Delaney Sakho Bellerin Gabriel Simpson
    Coutinho KDB Lanzini Sanchez Payet
    Lukaku Kun Martial

    a) Delaney > TFM
    b) Coutinho > Milner/Nasri (pick one)
    c) Gabriel & Lanzini > TFM & Iwobi (-4)
    d) Bellerin & Lanzini > TFM & Nasri/Milner (-4)

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      C

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B is possible with Nasri but Arsenal has better fixtures

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely wouldn't do D.

      I'd do a

      1. Tmel
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Must admit I'm not crazy about losing Bellerin but it would give such a strong mid, especially as Nasri isn't a rotation risk and plays Newcastle

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn't say Nasri is not a rotation risk. Maybe not in GW35 but I definitely don't expect him to start both games in GW34

  22. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    The BB beast is ready. How's she looking?

    DDG
    Bellerin Fosu-Mensah Moreno
    Sanchez Coutinho Payet KDB
    Aguero (C) Lukaku Martial

    Robles Gabriel Lanzini Simpson

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

      Juicyyyy

  23. SantiClaus
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who is more nailed?

    A) FMensah Clyne

    B) Rojo Moreno

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

      B

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

  24. Theatre_Of_Screams
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Nasri or Milner?

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

      I just cant decide...

  25. Balotellis Bib
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    any one else struggling to wildcard and bench boost in the same gameweek? got to set lineup today, and the bench boost option along with triple captain points just isnt there anymore, replaced by grey box and wildcard active. can you not wildcard and play chip in the same week?

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

      U dun goofed

    2. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 18 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sadly no. If only that was the case, I'd be 30 points better off.

    3. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nope....quite possibly an appropriate username..

      1. Balotellis Bib
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        looks like ill just have to set up for double gw37 to bench boost. cheers guys

    4. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      lol

    5. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Oh dear oh dear.

    6. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      our your bib on correctly next time

    7. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      . You can't do both in same gw.read the rules it tells you

  26. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Already have Lanzini and 3 Arsenal. Townsend the best option for Lennon? 5.9m budget

  27. davies
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Coutinho or Firmino?

    1. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino, more rested.

  28. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    My team looks ok for GW34, but Dann and Bolasie staring out at me menacingly.....considering hits to swap them....opposition this week is dire then a blank. AARgh

  29. Tribecca
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Fosu nailed???

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He should be. Then again it's LVG so I'd say no.

    2. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      nope but at 3.9 a risk worth taking. He was widely praised for his performance on Wed

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's first choice. Can't see how even a nutcase like lvg would drop him considering what happened when he went off for darmian at weekend.

  30. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Just tell me who to bring in for barkley.
    A) cout
    B) firm
    C) milner
    D) nasri

    Ty

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      D

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      C or D safest I'd say.but they not 100%
