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?

    Thoughts on my FH draft? Can't decide who to ditch/bench...

    De Gea,
    TAA, Doherty, Saiss,
    Salah, Alli, Fernandes, Sarr,
    Jimenez, Rashford, DCL.

    GK, Barnes, Ritchie, Femenia.

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

      Start Ritchie for Saiss

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Play Ritchie bench Saiss

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

    Rashford or Jiminez??

    Cant have both

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

    3 years, 10 months ago

    Grealish to Richarlison worth a hit?
    Or back him to deliver against new

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

      Not for a hit

    2. JelliedSpark968

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        probably could yeah, not sure I want to...I'll think

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

    A. Go safe with Bruno

    B. Punt on Martial

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

      Chasing in ML. All rivals have Bruno.

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

        You ll fall further behind I think.

        I'd pick Pogba otherwise

      2. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

    • 11 Years

    These midweek deadlines at 5pm are a disaster. 🙁

    I left the job i was on to go home early for the last one which is pretty sad from a grown man.

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

      I've been working from home, the urge to tinker is madness

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

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

      I missed the deadline, which for some crazy reason I thought was 6m, because I was working. Scraped 74 whilst my rival scored 99 🙁

    Pep on Aguero:

    It doesn't look good for the season

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

      Is this legit?

      1. goriuanx

        Sky Sports twitter

  15. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is this worth a free hit - only changing 3 starting players; Martial, Son and Aurier in. Auba, Grealish, Lundstram and Guendouzi will be back next gameweek

    Nyland
    TAA, Doherty, Aurier
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Martial, Son
    Ings, Jiménez

    Button, Greenwood, Lascelles, Simpson

  16. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Why are most picking Maguire over AWB?

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

      Headers

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

      Bit more nailed I think

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

      But AWB more attacking/Wing back?

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

        Two assists all year. Admitted himself he can't cross a ball.

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      AWB for me quite easily

  18. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    BIG captain headache this gw:
    Logic says Jimenez
    Brain says Fernandes
    But
    My heart says Son
    Who to go then?

    1. No Totti No Party
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Jimmy seems safest option, if chasing go Sonaldo

    2. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Pogba for me 🙂 Like Fernandes and Raul options though

  19. No Totti No Party
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    130 pts this week and ofc my ruval has 122..

  20. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A) Patricio, Justin, Martial, Greenwood (3-5-2)
    B) Foster/Pope, Masina, Guendouzi, Rashford (3-4-3)

  21. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Best 7.3m mid??

    Going to punt on Antonio!

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

      Bowen > Antonio for me

    2. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Puli
      Mount
      Traore
      Sarr
      +0.1 bergwin

  22. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Jota to DCL for free?

    Have Jimenez & Doherty too.

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Waste of a transfer for this week

    2. No Totti No Party
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I would give jota a chance

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

      yes

  23. jimmyabs1987
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Alli and Rash

    Or

    Bergwijn and Vardy

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Best defenders on a FH, excluding Doherty?

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

      Taa, Maguire/AWB, Aurier

  25. GuillermoDickero
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    For those on a wildcard, who are you looking to pick as a 5th mid? Im tempted by Saka and foden but obviously they are big rotation risks. I think foden could have a run of starts in preparation for next year as I can also see Pep protecting KDB etc for the champs league

    A) Foden
    B) Saka
    C) Guendouzi
    D) Luiz
    E) Saka

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Cantwell

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

      I'd gone for Foden prior to tonight's performance - LOCKED now.

      He'll not play every minute obviously, but neither will any of City's attack - at 5.1m, what's not to LOVE???

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

        Yeah agreed - think he looked great and can see him getting minutes

        Just want to avoid the feeling I'm "chasing last week's points" haha

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

      E was meant to read Davis

  26. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    How certain are we that Salah is back for sure this week?

    1. No Totti No Party
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I think he will 99% start

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

        That's pretty certain

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Nobody knows really. Klopp cant be trusted, he said both Robbo & Salah would be available to play Everton and none of them did.

  27. Leeds-Utd
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    On wildcard
    Fernandes Or Son
    Have Rashford Not Kane ?

  28. No_Mo_Salah?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Play Aurier or Maguire?

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

      Aurier

  29. Arctic monkeys
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Mahrez instead of Kdb going forward to free up cash

    Worth looking at ?

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

      Not for me

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      yes worth seeing if it will give you more elsewhere

    3. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Very risky due to Kdb´s high ownership imo. A haul will kill you.

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      nope

  30. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Leno Henderson
    TAA Doherty Lascelles Egan Lund
    Mahrez Kdb McGinn Mount Saka
    Auba Aguero Jota

    Can smell the red arrow through the screen if I don´t make any changes to this lot. Aguero out looks obvious but also need a new keeper. Any idea welcome.

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

      Why would you want to keep Auba?

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I don´t.

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

          Sorry - think I've been looking at so many wildcard teams tonight I forgot not everyone is on one!!

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            No worries. Auba needs to go big time but got other issues to take care of first :/
