Scoutcast Episode 334 – FPL Gameweek 31+ Wildcard Options

Whether you have an abundance of Fantasy Premier League chips or none remaining, this latest episode of the Scoutcast has got you covered.

Joe is joined by Lateriser and Andy to look ahead to Gameweek 31+ and beyond, with a close eye on chip strategy.

Lateriser is among the many FPL managers to take advantage of unlimited transfers in Gameweek 30+ and use their Bench Boost chip. With his Wildcard now in play, he reveals the players in his thinking and how best to navigate the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile, Joe only has a Bench Boost to fall back on. Our trio looks at the best Gameweeks to consider using not only this chip, but other remaining chips too.

Andy has used all his chips but after tinkering during lockdown with his team, he feels he is in good shape to match his chip-happy rivals.

Among the issues they discuss are what to do with Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m), who blanked in his last two run-outs but has two good fixtures ahead and enticing underlying stats too.

Sticking with the Gunners, there are replacement goalkeepers to mull over, after Bernd Leno (£5.0m) suffered a nasty knock against Brighton at the weekend.

The best Liverpool assets, whether Manchester City can be swerved temporarily and the unlikely appeal of Newcastle United are also in the mix.

In this packed 75-minute show, the Scoutcasters also find time to look at the best clean sheet prospects. Lateriser takes his turn to pick a differential and there are Gameweek 31+ squads to reveal.

Who will they captain and which players can help propel them up the rankings?

    Nothing in the bank.. is it alright? No Maguire is my main worry

      I would save, G2G

      Wouldn’t be overly worried about lack of Manchester United defence. Even as a Maguire owner I’m not sure if I trust them. Looks great.

    Free Hit locked in! 17k OR with WC and TC in the pocket... hopefully can make top 10k this season for the 1st time 🙂

    Good to go?

    DDG
    TAA Robbo Doherty
    ASM Salah(C) Bruno Son
    Jimi DLC Vardy

    1. One Man
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I like it. Especially double Pool defence....But why is everyone playing the FH ?

  4. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Would you rather

    1) Have Salah/DCL or Son/Vardy for next few fixtures?
    2) Play Sarr in a 343 or Maguire in a 442
    3) Have Doherty/Sarr or Aurier/Martial?

  5. asdf_1
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford or martial?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      R

    2. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Martial as other strikers better value

    3. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Rashford 100% for me

    4. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Rashford for safety of starts is who im on

    5. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Rashers

  6. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Rithcie or Aurier on FH

  7. JelliedSpark968
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Stevens and Mane >> Doherty and Fernandes for -4?

  8. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    This might sound a bit crazy but, can I do -8hit tonight and then decide tomorrow if I want to FH, Or will the FH option not be available. The reason that I am asking is because I want Rashford-in and Grealish-out. These players are likely to rise and fall in price respectively

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      it'll cost you -8

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Not if he activates FH, then its cancelled

        1. JelliedSpark968
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          you're right

        2. Denis Tueart on the wing
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          So is the free hit effectively the same as as wildcard in this respect. When I hit the chip button, the -8hit will disappear?

  9. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Hey fam. If Barnes is benched (courtesy of FPL Rockstar) would you do Barnes to Sarr for a hit or play El Ghazi/Stevens?

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I don't like hits for cheap mids so perhaps play El Ghazi. Up to you though

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate! Good point!

    Pep saying Aguero injury does not look good "something in his knee"

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      jesus looking good from gw34!

      1. Ógie

  11. Wally711
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    With this being my current back line.

    Williams - Boly -Taylor

    If I go Taylor to Lascelles that great but Williams isnt a lock to play. Is it safer to go Williams to kiko?

  12. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Hows this looking for GW31+

    Pope
    TAA AWB Saiss
    Salah (c) KDB Fernandes Sarr

  21. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Maguire in every team, did I miss something.

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      due a goal

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Utd fixtures are as good as it geys but getting him wouldnviolate my golden fpl rule

      Never get defenders more than 5m that dont score or assist every 6 weeks on avg

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        There was a 3 month break though 🙂

    3. Dannyb
      • 7 Years

      Wondering the same

  22. HVT
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Please pick;
    A - Patricio/C Taylor (Burnley)
    B - Pope/Saiss

    *Note have Doherty/mostly bench Taylor, watched Burnley tonight and they were v poor at the back.

  23. JabariParkersEyelid
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    This is it:

    Patricio 3.9
    Doherty TAA Maguire (Lascelles Robinson)
    Richarlison KDB Mane Bruno Son
    Jimenez DCL (Nketiah)

    Talk me out of Richarlison captain.

    1. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Should be DCL

  24. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Which one of these?

    A) Pope, Ritchie, Guendouzi, Ayew

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. Bench a bit ropey but they all feature so should be covered. My last decision is either Patrício or DDG

  26. One Man
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Thinking this is a good week to play the FH ? Or is there a better week ?

    1. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going 38 just for the fun of it and maybe early team news, but now as good as any

  27. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Start Barnes or Sarr?

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm on Barnes unless we get a leak he is benched for Gray

  28. Rscot2

    3 years, 10 months ago

    Team
    Button Leno

    Lundstram Egan Lascelles TAT Saiss

    KDB Mahrez Saka Moutinho Grealish

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He bloody better. Not sure if I dare to captain tho

    2. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      More than likely

    3. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I would say probably, but you can't be certain

  30. InSaneMan-e
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Hi guys. Desperately in need of advice. Which option do you think is best? I just used BB

    Leno*/hendo*
    Doherty laporte Sais
    KDB Bruno Grealish Cantwell Dluiz
    Kun Auba Jiminez

    1. WC
    2. FH (focus on no Kun/Leno and getting Salah in)
    3. -8 to get rid or Kun and Leno but also get Salah in
    4. Other
