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.

    I think this is an awesome team for 34:

    Captain Bellerin!

    Roles
    Bellerin, Evans, Sakho
    Ozil, Blind, Payet, Frirmino
    Welbeck, Aguero, lukaku

    Mignolet, Ward, Lennon, Janmaat

      Not using BB I assume with that bench. Blind, wtf. 🙂

      1. Óró Sé…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No BB. Blind because I can't afford anyone else. Bolaise replacement.

        Look at his fixtures and pitch time! (less at his points!)

        1. VS10_
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          🙂

    3. A.T
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's got Blind in it

      1. Óró Sé…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Pitch time trumps potential

  2. Trovsmash
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Got myself a problem:

    A. Lennon & Lukaku >> Sturridge & Milner -4 (Bench Bolasie)

    B. Lennon & Bolasie >> Milner & Nasri (Bench Lukaku)

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Just Lennon/Bolasie to someone and bench the other one, play Lukaku?

      1. Trovsmash
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wont take a hit for a player i'm going to bench, so i'd just get milner in. I just like the look of Sturridge & Milner atm

        1. VS10_
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          You're not benching a player you're transferring in in the scenario I suggested.

          1. Trovsmash
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            True, i'm just not rating Everton or Lukaku, so don't want to play him is my point, Pool and Sturridge will be on such a high i think its worth the risk

            1. VS10_
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              They look bad, I agree. Lukaku is still a very good striker.

              1. Trovsmash
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                If anyone scores it will be him, he's nailed as hell as well. Sturridge a big risk for sure, gahh

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

      A

  3. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Those selling Lukaku are going to get trolled this dgw xD

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

      Southampton, Liverpool, then FA Cup Semi Final. I can't see hime doing anything tbh.

      1. BlzE_94
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        We shall see 😛

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

      Big time

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

      Quite possibly.

  4. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I have Aguero & Mitrovic so who is bets striker to get for GW 34 ONLY ??

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Check previous page.

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

      34 only? Maybe Martial.

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

    Which one?

    A) Lennon > Nasri
    B) Lennon > Townsend
    C) Lennon + Gab > Iwobi + Otamendi
    D) Lennon + Gab > Lingard + Bellerin

    C & D would be for hits...

    1. thunder_mike
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Iwobi + TFM 😛

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

        Still not convinced TFM is nailed enough.

        1. thunder_mike
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It is Utd, but Darmian was so bad compared to TFM that even LVG can see that...

  6. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years

    Btw its official, studge (if fit) will start the rest of liverpools pl games

    1. Twisted Saltergater

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

  9. Iinvin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku > Martial for - 4?

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

      No

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

      Nah.

  10. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lennon + Bolasie + Lukaku > Milner + Lanzini + Sturridge all for - 8 PTS

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

    NaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaY

    1. thunder_mike
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Lukaku and do the rest!

  11. CCaddy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    My team is currently:

    Robles mignolet

    Kos smalling Gabriel Coleman Delaney

    Sanchez kdb payet coutinho lanzini

    Aguero lukaku mitrovic

    I had planned to do:
    Coleman -> smalling
    Delaney -> Fosu mensah

    This was to make the most of gwk 34. However, with the question marks now over Sakho, Gabriel, kdb coutinho, mitrovic for gwk 35. Would I be best off abandoning the Utd defenders and getting in some safe gwk 35 starters from the likes of Spurs and Leicester?

    1. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      All liverpool players are a gamble tbh, so i wouldn't worry about Coutinho or Sakho. They will at LEAST play one game. Transfer Coleman out imo.

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

    Who would of thought that Milner and Nasri would be flavours of the week!?

    Bye bye Bolasie and Lennon, the new kids are on the block

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

    Robles Darlow
    Smalling Bellerin Gabriel Delaney Sakho
    Lanzini Sanchez Payet Coutinho KDB
    Aguero Martial Lukaku

    A) Stick
    B) Gabriel > TFM
    C) Delaney > TFM

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

    Play Sigurdsson over Bolasie?

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

      Ha, probably yep!

  15. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone selling a Palace defender for a hit?

    1. Juventino4life
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Considering it for Fosu-Mensah.

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

    KDB, Coutinho or Lennon.

    Who to deal with first :'(

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

      Lennon 100%

    2. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      KDB and Coutinho are both fine

    3. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The one who is flagged

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

      Lennon. Less good, more injured (afaik).

    5. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers, just getting scared by all these Chinese whispers.

  17. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This is doing my nut in! GAH!

    Do i swap out ROJO and Darmian and replace for Smalling and Fosu?

    Seems so drab!

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

      Rojo is fine. Damian out though.

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

        Ok, Fosu or Smalling.

        Fosu, Milner and Nasri. In

        Darmian, Lingard, Coutinho. Out

        Doable? for -8

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

          I don't think losing Coutinho for a hit is sensible. He's had a week's rest so could easily start 2 of the next 3.

          I like Nasri/Milner in + Tosu for just -4.

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

            He played tonight? Fully emotional exhaustion? Thats not a week? 3 day rest and a bus down to Bourneo

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

              A week's rest prior to tonight's game.

              I don't think they'll feel too tired... they'll be buzzing, but off the 3 games, I'd expect Coutinho to not start the Bournemouth game.

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

      Darmian needs to go. Rojo isn't safer but still not safe.

  18. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you TC?

    Özil
    Kun

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

      Kun maybe.

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

        He could do damage against Newcastle but wiry about rotation and pitch time.

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

          Chelsea have checked out for the season too, wouldn't be surprised if he got something there either.

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

  22. ducksfly2gether
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A Or B?

    A) Daniels & Targett --> Fosu-Mensah & Moreno

    B) Ivanovich & Targett --> Fosu-Mensah & Smalling

    NOTE: Daniels and Ivanovich play each other in GW 35 and I would play the one I don't sell.

  23. peco12
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Barkey & Gabriel to Iwobi & Smailling worth the -4 hit?

    I already have Sanchez and Bellerin.

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

      I think so yes.

  24. adr3nalin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Need help please, I've got Lennon, Lukaku and Darmian ahead of my DGW fixture, not convinced by any of them, have a spot for Liv and City players, suggestions:

    Lenn,Luk,Darm -> Origi, KDB, Smalling with -8, or

    Lenn,Luk -> Sturridge, Nasri (keep Darmian but will he play?) and -4, or

    Lenn,Darm -> Smalling, Milner (keep Lukaku 1 more week) and -4, or (but then i've filled 3 x liv spots incuding Cout & Migno)

    Lennon -> Firmino (keep Darm & Lukak), no hit

    Help!?

  25. Grounderz
    • 14 Years

    Need a United defender. Apart from Smalling and De Gea, who's nailed on?

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

      Nobody.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rojo or Fosu-Mensah are your next best bets.

    3. Grounderz

      Thanks.

  26. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years

    A- Coutinho + Martial

    1. adr3nalin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B, Milner + Sturridge

    1. Rusty Nail

    Do you think Clyne nailed until GW35 is finished?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I'd say he's fine
