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?

      Looks great, similar to what I started working towards before I WC in 1-2 weeks. Prefer Dubravka to Lascelles though for Newcastle. Unsure on Maguire too.

    That Burnley display, coupled with the discontent at the club and having nothing to play for has made me think twice about Pope.

    I decided to upgrade him to DDG, I wanted Maguire but think Saiss can match him and now I have Man U defensive cover for their nice fixtures without ruining my bench.

        Yeah it's pretty template, maybe double wolves defence combined with DDG a very minor differential. Currently at 14k and hoping this solid squad with a few shrewd vig hitter transfers on the run in will break me into 10k, but probably no further.

      What price point / options are there for The DCL downgrade. But then you go from double Eve to none. DCL is probably enough.
      You could go Berg from Spurs Rich and get a goalkeeper / defence upgrade

          I think if you make the change it is a bit unbalanced but if you are happy playing one of your current bench each week go for it.
          Son can be explosive and can hurt but your current team looks decent.

    On wc. Thoughts on salah/mane? What does Salah not appearing vs Everton mean for this gw? Do you think rotation will be bad after they clinch the league?

      i think all this talk over mass rotation once league is clinched is over-hyped
      they won't lose it from here and they will continue to play their best players with the odd rotation based on turn around time, injuries etc
      there's nothing to save them for and the players will want to play
      Maybe for gw37/38 klopp might give some rest but don't see it in the next few games personally

    Going without De Bruyne on WC. Worth the risk? 22 points behind MLleader.

      I’m thinking of doing it. Son to KDB could be easy in a couple of gws. Also could potentially be rested against Southampton

      i would if on FH but he's surely a must on WC
      if aguero is out for the season then even more reason with penalty duties

    I’ve currently got Fernandez as my first bench.. really want to play him vs Villa..
    Would you swap him with any of the below:

    TAA / Saiss / Maguire
    Salah / KDB / Bruno / Martial / Son
    Jimenez / DCL

    I’ve a strong side so feel it difficult to squeeze him in?

    Thanks

      Very tempting but not over who you already have on the pitch.
