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.

      He is long overdue a rest. Well just have to hope for some early FA Cup line up news. If the rest comes in that game he probably stars against West Ham on Wednesday. Shame the team news come out half an hour after deadline!

          Tony is a different beast at home. Plus Ighalo will start ahead of him in the cup. I think Rash might also be benched in the cup but he doesn’t have quite the same direct replacements for his position as Tony has

          We'll see. I have triple Liverpool defence, so maybe I'm speaking in hope rather than expectation. Results haven't been great, but I'd say their recent performances have still been better than Chelsea's.

          Liverpool didn't play their best team in the FA Cup, so I'm not reading too much into that personally. To put it simply I think they are a better team and have been excellent at home all season.

      I think Bilva will rest in FA Cup and start in GW37.

      And the other way round for Dilva

    Is DeBruyne gonna be on Penalties next season? Or will Aguero take them back?

      Probably KDB.

      KDB, Salah and Bruno on pens in teams where you'd expect premium strikers to take them.

        Damn. He could go to 300 points next season if he takes them

          I rarely use the word, but he'll be essential.

        Auba could be classed as a Mid too

          I doubt it.

          Maybe Rashford might, with Martial a striker though.

            Why do you doubt it when he's been playing left wing?

            Rashford should definitely be a Mid too

        Bruno will share them with Rashy, Salah is not the first pen taker at Liverpool and KDB will probably share them with Aguero as well

          But do you see Milner playing a lot?

          Oh yes, you're correct. I forgot Rashford takes some too.

          Milner won't be on the pitch that often I don't think. And TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Leeds.

    Chasing in my mini league and thinking about going for 1 or 2 Burnley players for the Norwich game. Tarkowski could be good since NOR gives up a lot of corners, right?

    But who takes the corners? McNeil? Could he be a good punt?
