Scoutcast Episode 333 – Gameweek 30+ Free Hit and Bench Boost Drafts

1,006 Comments
Share

Joe is joined by Andy and Az to discuss Double Gameweek 30+ and reveal their squads for the start of the season.

With unlimited transfers available and chips to choose from, our trio have markedly different teams and strategies for the remainder of the campaign.

Andy and Joe are without a second Wildcard, so are opting to ignore the extra transfers managers have been given and are playing their Free Hit chip instead. They reveal the thinking behind this move as well as the players in the frame for a place in their sides.

Meanwhile, Az has the luxury of Wildcard still to play so may well have the advantage over those Free Hitting. He is also opting to play a Bench Boost chip.

However, Andy and Joe don’t make it easy for Az to choose. His selection of a certain Arsenal midfielder draws particular derision, as well as the occasional metaphor or two.

Could Az be the Darth Vader of this Gameweek with his chip advantage? Or are his troops little more than Loony Tunes creations?

As well as revealing their Gameweek 30+ line-ups they also look through the wealth of Double Gameweek players to choose from, with Sheffield United defenders and Manchester City attackers topping the bill.

They are not forgetting single Gameweek options too, especially those facing traditionally awful defences.

Long-term plans also feature, as they look ahead to the remainder of the season and the fixture swings ahead.

Clean sheets also get an airing. In addition, Joe picks a differential for the next set of fixtures, even if he struggles to pronounce his low-owned selection’s name.

    Salah Nketiah Egan Ramsdale/Reina

    On FH.

    Its about westHam or is Salah worth it without Captain still
    either way.

    I can see Everton scoring a goal so not as keen on TAA but obv still the best Defender.
    Doherty and Jota could be golden tho

        This is all but playing it safe. If I was playing it safe I would have Jimmy, Bruno, Mo and the gang. Triple ars and av is not safe at all but at least its fun. And about cpt yes I am leaning that way.

    Fantasy Football Fix is predicting 105 points for my BB team. So surely a 30 pointer is incoming and after a week of tinkering excitement, I'm sure I'll remember why I hate this game! Hahaha 😀 Bring it on!!!. Good luck everyone. May the Gods smile upon your selections (unless you chose Sterling).
