Scoutcast Episode 340 –Premium forwards on the radar?

877 Comments
Share

Premium forwards are back on the menu for our Scoutcast trio as Joe, Andy and Az look ahead to Gameweek 37+ and try to pick some differentials to help Fantasy Premier League managers make a late push for mini-league glory.

While some of their tips are certainly bargains, they think this could be the week to turn to some forgotten pricier options, who have been sold by many in recent weeks.

Up top, Spurs hitman Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Arsenal talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) look primed for investment with kind fixtures for the run-in.

Meanwhile, Liverpool’s main men are under scrutiny. The underlying statistics point to a Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) haul on the horizon. But are the Premier League champions still motivated?

Recorded ahead of Thursday’s matches, all three of our Scoutcast regulars are full of hope after an average-to-bad Gameweek 36+ so far. To describe Joe’s Bench Boost this time around as laughable barely does this sorry use of a chip justice.

Our crew take a look at clean sheets for the final two matches, while Andy takes his turn to name his favourite differential for the run-in and also reveals an exciting membership offer.

The show finishes off as usual with their transfer and captaincy plans for Gameweek 37+. There are certainly plenty of differentials and forgotten premium picks to consider.

    3 questions:

    1. Who is the best defender for next 2 gameweeks? is it Digne or Tark or someone else? (aurier, stephens)

    2 Will Leno be back for last game or not?

    3. Is any other cheaper defender at Burnley worth getting?

        Pieters is a good option but Long is surely better than Bardsley who has no attacking threat and is prone to getting yellow cards. I know he did well on baps last match but he doesn't tend to in general.

          will Peters not lose his spot to Gudmundsson?

          Im trying to work out best pair of defenders for 10.8m playing 1 this week and 2 this week (BB).

          Is it Tark and 1 of Aurier, Stephens, Egan
          or
          Is it Digne and 1 of those or a non Tark Burnley defender?

            Digne and one of Long/Pieters or me. Digne due to attacking potential and there shouldn't be much difference among Burnley defenders anyway.

      I think defenders are not worth taking out for a hit to be honest. Just takes a lapse of concentration to concede a goal then your clean sheet is blown. Doherty (I have him) although returned last week has been inconsistent. I would personally hold onto the 4 points instead.

        Except he's got 2 guaranteed 0s and Mendy could be a 0 as well, so it's worth considering. I'd do it if Mendy is unlikely to start the Watford game. I've not looked into City's defensive patterns so can't say but OP should invest some time to have a look

              I think he is more kikely to getting attacking returns at left back than where he was playing they way burnley play

            I thought Gudmondsons return meant that Pieters was going to lose his spot in RM

          He has a press conference today but I think it was confirmed to be a hamstring injury. If it's hamstring, there is no way Taylor will play in the last 2 games.

        Hi
        I'm heading my mini league by 77 points.
        My rival has Kane which he captained last week
        Should I play safe and get Kane in for a hit to nullify him?!
        Thanks

          77 is a lot of points to make up in 2 gws. Does he still have tc??

            No - He has a FH left. I have no chips left.
            He gained about 20 points on me this round by having Kane as VC (KDB as C)

        Thoughts on Wes Morgan and Luke Thomas as cheap bench options?
