You get your Wildcard active, and we’ll do the maths. Or rather Jonty will.

This week’s ScoutCast gets highly technical as my aforementioned co-host goes all Rachel Riley on us (wishful thinking) and attempts to bewilder with a cheeky little algorithm he’s just happened to have rustled up.

Attempting to cut through the noise of the forthcoming double Gameweeks, Andy and Luke join me while Jonty gives his numbers an airing via another round of your targeted queries.

We chew over Gabbiadini’s demise, assess the Gameweek 37 potential offered by Spurs and Chelsea and, yet again, make another assessment of a slumbering Sanchez.

The end result all leads to the ScoutCast Wildcard template squad, as Big Vic crashes in and Luke stands alone in shunning Arsenal’s Chilean timebomb.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

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

          (C)osta, im ignoring DGW assets, bar Yoshi; they're all massively underwhelming again

        2. NestorC
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Wouldn't even get Ozil in, and to make him C, dont know could I do it even if I am drunk

        1. Ange Ball
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I had ozil and walcott everyone on hear told me wouldn't work

          2. MTPockets
              8 years, 7 months ago

              May still get Walcott for 37, subject to 36.

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

        8 years, 7 months ago

        yeah

        Cech - Cabellero

        Koscielny - luiz -huth - monreal - holgate/stephens (not fully decided yet)

        ________

        Eriksen -Ali -King -Albrighton-hazard

        _________

    3. oi no professionals
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Do we think Walcott might play both games?

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        98% say no

        I'm your 2%

      2. KUN+10

        No

    4. Blue Gaffer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Is it worth getting rid of Brunt for a different DGW'er?

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        yes if you are on wc or you wanna play for free and fun

    5. Ravager
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      RP

      Small conundrum. Zero funds and used my free. Would love to offload Gibson to a DGW player. Worth the hit?

      A) Gibson > Gabriel
      B) Gibson > Yoshida*
      C) Gibson > Huth?

      *Already own Stephens

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years

      2. KUN+10
        • 11 Years

        A

        1. Ravager
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Not worried about the rotation?

    6. RVP20
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Which one?

      (A) Vert & Sane
      (B) Holgate & Eriksen

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Do you have Alli/Kane ?

        1. RVP20
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yes, I have Alli and Kane. The rest of the WC team is:
          Willy - Pickford
          Alonso - Monreal - Yosh - Stephens - ??
          Sanchez - Hazard - Alli - King - ??
          Kane - Jesus - Anichebe

          1. Prison Mike
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah A for me then

      2. MartialMatas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        A

      3. KUN+10
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        A

    7. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A. Caballero Kosciely
      OR
      B. Cech Monreal
      OR
      C. Cech Vertonghen???

      1. MartialMatas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Probably C

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I like B I think arsenal have a chance of a couple of clean sheets at least

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

      Team news has Gabriel not starting with no real reason for their choice. Most of the predicted lineups on net have Gabs starting .

      Would Wenger play a back 3 and throw in Mustafi to the new system over Gabs who been great up until last game. Very odd

    9. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Do we reckon Bavies gets 36 and both games 37? Surely no way they'll rush Rose back?

      1. Ange Ball
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Rose will play against Utd

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          He won't even be back in training until next week? Why would you play a guy who is just back in training when the deputy has barely put a foot wrong?

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I want to just take the risk on Bavies instead of Vert but just know that Rose will start the 2nd game in 37 🙁

        1. Ange Ball
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          He will play against West ham not utd probably back for Leicester were I think the title chance will come to an end

          1. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Will play vs West Ham?! You expect a guy who returns to training next week to play... tomorrow?

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              😆

            2. Ange Ball
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              No davies will play tmr rose will be back for utd

      3. MTPockets
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Doubt Rose comes back in, but don't have balls to risk it.

      4. MartialMatas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        How would you get an extra 0.4 m to upgrade gabbi to jesus?

        Cabellero Pickford
        Alonso Gabriel Davies Yoshida Stephens
        Sanchez Hazard Alli Sane
        Kane Gabbi Anichebe

        1. Ange Ball
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yoshida to holding

        2. MrZ
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          gabriel to holgate

      5. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cech Cabellero
        Alonso Monreal Vertonghen Yoshida Stephens
        Alexis Hazard Eriksen King JWP
        Kane Jesus Anichibe

        £0.1m ITB. Initial thoughts? Obvious upgrade moves?

        1. Springbank
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          That looks to me although ideally a JWP upgrade would be nice.

      6. EWH2020
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Who will play more minutes GW37

        A) Gabriel
        B) Ake

        1. MartialMatas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          A

      7. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Stuck on this Decision for 2 Days Now :
        A) Erik and Costa
        B) Sane and Kane

        1. MartialMatas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          B

        2. KUN+10
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          B

        3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          A easily for me Costa ready to cause damage and eriksen in the form of his life

          Sane is a bit flakey

      8. Essrick
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Which WC team should I go for? Will be using BB in GW37

        A)

        Caballero/Pickford
        Davies/Gabriel/Yoshida/Stephens/Holgate
        Haz/Alli/King/JWP/Albrighton
        Kane/Costa/Jesus

        or

        B) same but with Monreal, Trippier, Sanchez and Anichebe instead of Davies, Gabriel, JWP and Kane?

        1. KUN+10
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I would do B. Hvae to have Sanchez to be safe...46% ownership can really hurt you if he goes nuts

          1. Essrick
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks, I feel I need attacking cover for Arsenal too. Without Kane I still have Alli for attacking cover for Spurs.

            1. KUN+10
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Agreed

      9. keaneray
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Nearly done on my WC and have two more spaces. Choose one please?

        A) Monreal & Bavies
        B) Gabriel & Vertonghen

        Cheers in advance.

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          A for me.

      10. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Y) Sane and Holgate
        Or
        Z) Pedro and Ben Davies

      11. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Imagine if Anichebe scores against Swansea... 😆

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Scenes.

        2. Springbank
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Nooo he'll be on my bench 🙂

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I'm going to start him ahead of Jesus 🙂

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

          That would be sickening. Bad pick being rewarded is always sickening 🙂

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Going without Sanchez too?

        4. MTPockets
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Imagine he gets an injury at Hull. Again.

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Straight swap to Benteke if so 😛

        5. Lizard Lips
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Costa: MID wba WAT SUN

          vs

          Kane: whu MUN lei hul

          Costa could easily outscore Kane, are we being mad spending another £1m+ on Kane?!

          1. FF Dirtbag
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            No. Kane has a bigger potential for higher points in my eyes.

            1. Lizard Lips
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Dem fixtures tho fam... 🙂

              1. FF Dirtbag
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Doesn't matter to Kane.

                1. Lizard Lips
                  • 13 Years
                  8 years, 7 months ago

                  Very true, United are very good at parking the bus mind you.

          2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Only Worry is Costa missing last Game

          3. Jebiga
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            hm...

          4. Pinky Blinders
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I think you need both.

          5. Ange Ball
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Harry Kane he scores when he wants he scores when he wants, Harry Kane he scores when he wants.

        6. Junior ⚽
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Kane Alli Eriksen

          1. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            One with Vert
            It'll be too Risky going with Triple Spurs Attack

        7. Springbank
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Pedro flavour of the day? 🙂

          1. FF Dirtbag
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Save it and have 2FTs for the final week. Unless I have an injury or something to sort out.

            1. Springbank
              • 10 Years

            Monitoring Gabbiadini this week. If he's bad, I'll switch to anichebe and upgrade elsewhere. Want Gabbi for this week as there are not many alternatives with dgw 🙂

        9. Totti
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          koscielny or monreal?

          1. KUN+10
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Kosc if money is not an issue

            1. Totti
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              but monreal can assist or score what do u think

              1. KUN+10
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Kosc is very dangerous at set pieces. Monreal can be rotated, Kosc is nailed on

          Weird one here for GW37

          A) Alli and A.Smith (BUR)
          or
          B) Eriksen and A.Smith (BUR) / Holgate (WAT) / Huth (mci, TOT)?

          1. Heels_Over_Head
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Eriksen Huth if you can play Huth 36 against that Watford injury ward

          Anyone having second thoughts about captaining Sanchez and thinking Jesus or Kane instead?

          Is sterling a viable differential to sane if chasing.
