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?

    Traore or St Maxim on a FH?

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

      ASM

    2. Louis Van Gaalstones
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Traore more likely to be benched, but seems to have an impact any time he plays, Newcastle are still not great attackers

    3. Mike2795647
      • 9 Years

      Traore all day long

    4. Blunder fc

  8. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    RP
    Choose 1 for gw31+ and beyond.

    A. Son in for Salah/Mane
    Or
    B. KDB in for Salah/Mane
    Or
    C. Keep Salah and Mane this week hoping they start

  9. The_FF_King

    If you activated free hit, can you change your mind and disable it?

    1. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Nope

  10. cheekumz
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I currently have Mane and Aurier playing... im really tempted to have Richarlson and Ings for the next 2 weeks with Aurier benched and then take Mane back in after MCI. Really think Richa and Ings should outscore Mane Aurier. Am i being stupid?

    1. FPLord
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      All 4 are good options, could go either way

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

    GTG?

    Nyland
    TAA© Saiss Lascelles
    Sterling KDB Bruno Mount Barnes
    Auba Jiminez

    Leno* Stevens Nketiah Egan*

    Can you talk me out of matt richie at 5.3m? He is currently in my team and im about to hit the magic button

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Good pick, might be on pens

  14. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Those on a WC, anyone considering Pogba in a double up with Bruno? Looked to liven the game up vs spurs and could be a nice early differential

    1. wantsharptv
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Better off with Martial

    2. GE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe

  15. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I didnt own Auba over the DGW and since I havent been burnt by him I'm kind of tempted to take a 2 week punt on him on WC and then in gw33 switch him and richarlison to DCL and one of Salah/Mane/Sterling. Thoughts? Rly targeting that Norwich fixture

  16. gomez123
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    121 points this week...Just got rid of Kun & Grealish (-4) to give me this
    Nyland
    TAA Doherty Lacscelles
    Bruno(vc) Mahrez Barnes KDB Mount
    Jimmy(c) Auba
    Leno* Egan* Lundstram Nketiah

    Still got FREE HIT....GTG or FH??

  17. Your Man With The Hair
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    On a WC, still have FH left. Probably saving it for GW38+
    Bench is trash as I really shouldn't need it given my picks and only 7 GWs to FH

    Pope (Martin)
    VVD, Maguire, Saiss (Lascalles, 4.0m)
    Mane, KDB, Bruno, Son (Douglas Luiz)
    Rashford, Ings, Jimi

    Thoughts?

  18. GE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone considering Mahrez, Sterling or Foden on WC now when Aguero is injured?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No

    2. Your Man With The Hair
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Only one I would consider from those is Mahrez

    3. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      City scored 8 goals in 2 games,
      I can see them going on a hot run as a team who are so well trained don’t loose as much as others from no crowd. Just have a good bench to cover

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

    Which team is stronger defensively

    A) Man U
    B) Wolves

    1. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Wolves

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

        Cheers mate

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Wolves

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

        Thanks bud

    3. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Similar imo, wolves assets (-Doherty) are cheaper which has its appeal

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

        Yeah, im not sure if to double down on wolves with Patricio or go DDG

  20. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    After all the tinkering and headaches, went from 12,986 to 12,973 in OR. This game is so dam fickle.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I’ve dropped 40 places

  21. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Start Holgate or Aurier?

  22. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Interesting statement from the airplane company.

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

    Anyone keeping Grealish? Don't want him anymore but is he worth using an FT on?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yep. Get rid

  24. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    DDG and AWB double up anyone?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Eww

  25. Rider on the Storm
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Aubameyang or Kane? (For free)

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Neither.

      Vardy and son

    2. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'd like to let go auba and buy a premium forward

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

        Premium forwards are worse than mid-price atm.

  26. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Would you FH now or in GW33

    Leno Ramsdale

    Fernandez Egan Boly Maguire Stevens

    KDB Grealish Mount Fernandes Saka

    Aubameyang Jimenez Aguero

    0.4 ITB no WC

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Just sell aguero if not fit?

  27. The_FF_King
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    If I take out Grealish tonight for -4 and then activate my free hit after, I don’t then lose -4 correct?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Correct

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You also don't lose Grealish for GW33 though

      1. The_FF_King
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        This is true. But I do have a wildcard

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          I just sold him for Richarlison. Not as attacking as before the break. Richarlison looked good yesterday with Norwich next.

  28. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Patricio
    VVD TAA Maguire Doherty
    Son Mane KdB Bruno
    Rashford Jimenez

    Subs: 3.9GK, Lascelles, Nketiah, Guendouzi

    0.2 ITB.

    Thoughts??

  29. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Which pairing for GW (31, 32) only?

    A) Dubravka (AVL, bou) + Taylor (WAT), Lascelles (bou)
    B) Pope (WAT, cry) + Lascelles (AVL, bou)

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

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

    Did any FHer get mahrez or just the BB ones

    I think i call my BB a success just becuase id never have gotten him otherwise. Anyone else in the same boat?
