Scoutcast crew debate whether to Wildcard after Double Gameweek 24

1,327 Comments

Fresh from, what was for many, a disastrous outcome of the Triple Captain, the Scoutcast are moving onto the next chip: the second Wildcard.

The Fantasy Premier League community has been debating the best time to press the overhaul button and we’ll bring you our thoughts tonight.

Join Joe, Az and Lee for the latest episode of the Scoutcast at 20:00 GMT on our YouTube channel.

The three pundits will give their views on the Wildcard as well as what to do with the injured Sadio Mané (£12.4m).

The Liverpool man, heavily backed for the Triple Captaincy in Double Gameweek 24, has already been ruled out of the game against West Ham and is a major doubt for Gameweek 25 too.

Is now the time to sell or hold Mané? Joe, Az and Lee will discuss that in some depth.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa and Leicester will be going head-to-head in their EFL Cup semi-final second leg so we will do our best to bring you updates from that game.

          Seriously though, Scholes played the no 10 position, not Beckham. Beckham was quite workmanlike in midfield, great engine.
          Obviously a great crosser of the ball and dead ball specialist too.

    KDB, Salah, Grealish, Traore

    Considering:

    - Lundstram -> O'Connell
    - Williams -> CTaylor
    - Grealish -> Perez (leaves 0.6 to upgrade Goalkeepers/Defence)
    - McCarthy & Lundstram -> Pope & Stephens
    - McCarthy & Luiz -> Pope & Hayden

              Aguero has killed my season as captained him about 4 weeks in a row when he kept getting benched! Got a worry with both, aguero game time and Aubameyang just doesn’t get the big scores to warrant his price tag...he’s an expensive Jimenez
