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.

        Problem for me is that I'd have two City players too. I suppose getting rid of Aguero before GW28 isn't the worst idea considering their fixtures.

            To be honest, I have been pondering the idea of losing Aguero at some point. Just feels wrong considering his incredible form. Aguero > Jimenez in GW27 is a strong possibility a free's up a tonne of funds.

      Do you think that team does well in GWs 25-27?
      Easy enough to take a hit or 2 in 28.

        I think it will do well enough in those GW's although Mane is an issue.

    Ubuntu. Its all so complicated

    -4 it is

    3 transfers

    Kelly to VDijk
    Vardy to Auba
    Mane to Grealish

    Then DCL to Ings after
    and Auba to Vardy for GW28
    two weeks after.

      Would be a 433 with KDB and Grealish on bench and Lund could even become Doherty then. Voila

      Robbo is exciting tho.

      However, with CL coming up do we reckon that Robbo gonna get rotated in the future?

      I guess youre gonna have a player like Mane Auba or Aguero and KDB for that matter even if you Salah Captain always.
      Also if Auba does well, he moght sway you

    What to do here?

    A) Sell Mane (selling price 12.0, not 12.4 so a fair bit tied up)
    B) Sell Kelly, maybe to Lascelles
    C) Hold and hope for Mane return in GW26
    D) Other
