Scoutcast Episode 334 – FPL Gameweek 31+ Wildcard Options

3,424 Comments

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?

    Anyone considering going with Richarlison in a 352 formation instead of Rashford? So many other better options in midfield around 8m but not so much with forwards should you want to switch

      Hoping Tammy appears nailed when their fixtures turn but you may be right to go for Richarlison instead. He looked great against liverpool

      I seem to be in the minority, but I'm not sure Son's worth 9.7m as things stand.

      Team looks fine for this week. Captain?

    Think I'm set, off to bed.
    Current WC is.

    DDG - (Fodder)
    TAA - Doh - Saiss (Lasc / Fodder)
    Son - Salah - Mahrez - Bruno F (Foden)
    DCL - Jimi - Rashford

    0.6 ITB, so could move the 3.9 fodder to someone else that plays, maybe Femina??

    Biggest thing is no KDB, going to risk it, up to 40k from 120k after tonight, no difference in getting top 50k and top 100k really, so gunning for top 10k Kdb-less, prob back fire spectacularly!
    Also double wolves def maybe a risk, but like there fixtures!

    1) Foster (similar stats)
    2) Martinez (mostly for the funds)

    Which option?

    1. Keep Son and Rashford, the compromise being a bench that includes Guendouzi and Nketiah
    2. Downgrade Son to A, meaning Guendouzi and Nketiah can be upgraded to B and C
    3. Downgrade Rashford to X, meaning Guendouzi and Nketiah can be upgraded to Y and Z.

    If option 2, who would A, B and C become?

    If option 3, who would X, Y and Z become.

    Rest of the squad is:

    Pope, Martin

      Don't think both Arsenal cheapies are an option. Gendouzi is perfect bench fodder 3rd sub. Try and squeeze DCL or Ings in up front.

      I understand the question and confirm that you should go for Option 1 i.e. no need to downgrade Son or Rasford just for the sake of upgrading your bench fodders

    Anyone picking/keeping city assets on Wildcard? Thinking Ederson is the only safe bet for avoiding rotation.

        Yeah had him all year but this is as good a time as any to wave goodbye. Tough decisions.

      KDB and maybe Foden 5th mid. But even KDB is not safe as we see.

    Ward or Holgate on WC from here until end of season? Both 4.3m.

    Will spend time on bench depending on 442/352 team choice.

    Have Richarlison.

    Cheers.

    Anyone seriously considering Martinez? A real bargain at that price even though Gunners have been leaky.

    Certainly frees up a little cash.
