Scoutcast crew debate whether to Wildcard after Double Gameweek 24

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.

    Salah KDB Grealish Mane
    Jimenez Vardy DCL

    Gw25 Mané > Martial
    Gw26 DCL > Auba

    Looks good?

    If you want a form player as a Mané replacement, why not Harvey Barnes?

    😛

        That's what Fantasy Football Fix recommends, but I trust their transfer suggestions as much as I trust politicians.

        1. have you seen cyan

          yea its like that robot doesnt watch games

    What we want, Leicester or Villa win ?

    1. DAVESAVES
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Villa

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      for FPL - Leicester

      Villa-Sheff U being off will cause me a lot of issues

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I have Lund and Grealish

        Also Soy and Maddison...

        Same for me tbh

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        it will cause everyone issues, but there will be a way through the storm

  4. fantasyxprt11

    Any one think it's wise to do Aguero + Martial for Mane and Abraham for -4
    Alternatively my failed punt of Balbuena, (sigh) I could do Mane and Balbuena out for Robertson and Son/Alli/Mahrez or just roll the transfer and assess after the break?

    With Cantwell also a doubt, might be struggling to get a starting 11, could also do Balbuena for Williams or Newcastle defender just to get a sure 11, thanks.

    Rest of the team is

    Pope

    Rico Lundstram Digne TAA Balbuena*

    Salah KDB Mane* Cantwell* Mount

    DCL Abraham* Haller

    1. DAVESAVES
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero&Martial move looks v.good

  5. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Why is Perez out?
    Tactical? Did he do anything useful tonight?

  6. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Would be hard for Rodgers to drop Iheanacho straight away now he is in great form find a way to play both him and Vardy

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Haha

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nothing funny about that. It's the truth. Barnes & Nacho, alongside Pereira are Leicester's most in-form players at the moment.

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ok

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kelechi is good but not convinced he can be the stand alone forward for a team. Will end up at Saints at this rate

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Never said as a stand alone forward though just think they should try play both

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          oh well Jamie is getting on 😀
          I was thinking Perez and Kelechi, thats weak

  7. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Love that they go straight to penos after 90 instead of extra time.

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cool

    2. tutankamun
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, but why have 2 legs?

      1. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Penalty kick are hard with only one leg.

        1. tutankamun
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Would rather a one off game at neutral venue with ET and pens. It’s the league cup ffs, no need for the extra fixture

        2. Gazwaz80
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Very funny 🙂

  8. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Flip flopping more than a Brazilian Havaianas salesman. Keep Mané or sell?!

    Bought at 11.7. Issue obv is we don’t really know how fit he’ll be by NOR/ if Klopp will wrap him in cotton wool. My options:

    A) Soy, Cantwell > Lascelles, Traoré (-4) and bench Mané
    B) Soy > Lascelles (FT)
    C) Mané, DCL > Traoré, Auba (-4)
    D) Mané, DCL > Traoré, Kun (-4)
    E) Mané, DCL > Son, Jimi (-4)
    F) Mané > Traoré (FT)

    0.2itb 1FT
    McCarthy, McGovern
    TAA, Lunds, Holgate, Soy*, Williams
    Salah (C), Mané*, KDB, Martial, Cantwell*
    Vardy, Ings, DCL*

    Cheers!

      F

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Def a decent safe option. Thanks

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Similar set up

      I’d hold Mane as an attacking ploy. The Mo Mane double up from 26/7 could be quite the differential and there are a good few weeks for it to pay off. Sold TAA about this time last year and never managed to get him back

      B of your options

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        You’re right that it’ll be a good differential. My issue is the total uncertainty around how fit he’ll be by NOR, whether Klopp will wrap him in cotton wool etc

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Do you want to keep both mo and mane long term? If not, sell now.

      I wouldn't be getting auba till window shuts.

      I quite like E but not sure worth a hit.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Tbh I can’t imagine I’d have kept them both long term. It’s too many eggs in that basket when so much value elsewhere. So I think selling might be right move. With E I’m just unsure if Son is a good pick in a poor Spurs team with pretty poor fixtures.

    If city win tomoz will city and arsenal blank in gw28 along with whoever wins here?

  10. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is it pens or ET after draw?

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pens

  11. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    It's quite sad how much more I care about the west ham game than these semis just because of this stupid game.

    1. Indpush
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not really

  12. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So GW 25 could be double if City reach to the final tomorrow ? I have 0 from City lol 😀

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Dont think so. Where did you get that.

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ben Crelin

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Hmmm. So I see.

          1. potatoace
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Mane to mahrez if confirmed.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's a real outside chance.

      Pep mentioning arsenal game the other day is the straw to clutch at.

    3. THFC4LIFE

  14. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years

    Vardy is so going to miss his penalty

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Or..

  15. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years

    They used to have replays for these semis.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You still want them? 😉

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Probably have to when they dont have a blank.

    2. how now brown cow

  28. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    one more reason to keep Vardy now

  29. Uns95
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Son or Traore to replace Mane? Can afford either.

    Already have Salah, KDB, Martial in midfield.

  30. Niho992
    • 5 Years

    Brendan Rodgers what a loser.
