Undaunted by a heavily reduced fixture list, the Scoutcast crew deliver one of their longest episodes of the season.
There may be only five matches taking place in Gameweek 31 but Joe, Luke, Az and David discover there is a wealth of different player options and strategies to deploy.
Discarding their usual player, team and talking point format for the community questions section, they focus in detail on the best assets to own position by position this weekend.
While there is a consensus around goalkeepers, our Scoutcast regulars find plenty to disagree about among defenders, midfielders and strikers.
Luke is packing his team with differential ‘swords’ to attack the fixtures, while David is making sure he uses his two free transfers to include some ‘shields’ to keep up with the pack.
Az is on the search for low-owned assets too and is even considering a notorious Scoutcast ‘magic bean’. Unsurprisingly, Joe is not keen.
The number of hits to take in a Blank Gameweek also get an airing, as does advice for those deploying a Free Hit chip to cope with player reduction.
Regular features are also included, with the round-up of the previous Gameweek giving Az a rare chance this season to boast about a good score.
Best differentials, top clean sheet shouts and transfer and captaincy plans for the Gameweek ahead are also revealed.
