Scoutcast Episode 340 –Premium forwards on the radar?

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.

    Anyone still got the TC chip?

      Yeah, final adjustments to be made after the pressers in GW38 (possibly with a little last-minute gaze at @FPL_Rockstar).

      My main rival will play his BB that week for sure.

    Who do people think are the top 3 players to own this week? Trying to nail down my last free transfer before free hit next week.

    I'm looking for 3 names of those who you think will have the biggest hauls this week.

    Thanks in advance. Getting to squeaky but time now!

      1. Davemc23
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Have similar issues. Considering a choice of wood, tarkowski, son, kane and auba as a one week punt before FH next week

        1. Malkmus
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ta. Used FH last gw, which didn't go great, should've left it for 38...

    2. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. Malkmus
        • 12 Years

        Thanks

    3. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years

      Vardy to Kane

  4. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Help please, Got 1FT and 0.1mn ITB. What should I do if I want to take BIG risks to close ML gap.
    DDG (Martin)
    VVD, Saiss, Holgate (Kiko, Lascelles)
    Kdb, Willian, MANE, Bruno (triple cap) (SAKA)
    Kane, GREENWOOD, Jesus

    Got 1FT and 0.1mn ITB. What should I do? Any other suggestions are welcome

    A) Lascelles, Mane & Jesus --> Tarkowski, Dilva/Son & Auba/Ings for - 8 hit
    B) DDG, Mane & Jesus --> Martinez, Dilva/Sterling/Martial & Auba/Ings for -8 hit

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Holgate out no?

    2. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What is the points difference? I wouldn't sacrifice Jesus as he has Watford and Norwich last 2. I'm actually looking to get him in. Post your rival's ream and tell us the points difference

  5. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My bench is gonna be:

    Martinez, Nketiah, Bardsley Lamptey

    BB in 37:
    for avl, avl, nor, NEW

    or in 38:
    for WAT WAT BHA bur

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      37

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Think 37,Nketiah better chance to play and defenders with better fixtures

  6. linkafu
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is Hokgate Out for rest of season?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just the next 2 matches i heard.

  7. Mr. Mystic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    1FT Mane->Sterling?
    (Rival is 20 points behind and has Sterling so a no brainer?)

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      To me yeah.

    2. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Don't.

      1. linkafu
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Too close for me

        1. Mr. Mystic
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Too close in what context?

          1. linkafu
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Mane is almost sure to play both game with newcastle in last. Can easily see him get good scores. so If your rivals have Sterling (risk of pep roulette even if I don't think) you could do better with Mane. Don't underestimate Liverpool!

            1. Mr. Mystic
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              True, but by having Sterling will reduce the risk if he is to haul? And stop them catching me

              1. Dunk and Disorderly
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Take Sterling for the final GW only.

                1. Mr. Mystic
                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  I have FH do intend to bring him in regardless.

              2. Davemc23
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Sound logic. If all you're worried about us preserving your lead then get him

                1. Mr. Mystic
                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Cheers, it was hit hat-trick that the other week which closed the gap from about 60-20points! So seems safe to do so.

    3. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would be interesting if your rival goes Sterling > Mane 🙂

      1. Mr. Mystic
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Now THAT would be interesting , but I doubt it.

  8. More Cowbell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My defence has been decimated will any of Holgate, Kiko or Lascelles play this week?

    If not, who to bring in to replace?

    1. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say kiko will play but he's up against city so could end up on minus points

      1. Davemc23
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        how much itb? Burnley def viable?

    2. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Anyone looking for Trossard?

      1. linkafu
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Fail sorry

      2. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not for a hit no

  9. Young Lingard
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Never can get Mahrez at the right time
    Thinking of him over the two games as cheaper than sterling who I can’t get without a hit.
    Any projections of minutes or pts
    At a guess ?
    v Watford away =
    v Norwich home =

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Guess A) 10, 13
      Guess B) 1, 1
      Guess C) 10, 1
      Guess D) 1, 13

      Take a pick!

  10. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Rashford way down on the 37 poll. the past 2 games hes looked the best player!

  11. Lordmarks
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Does anyone have a FH team template for GW37+? I own neither Martial nor Sterling and I can't get them without a -8.
