Scoutcast Episode 366 – How to prepare for flurry of FPL Double Gameweeks

Joe and Seb are joined by Karam to look at the key issues facing Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Double Gameweek 24.

With Manchester City, Everton, Burnley and Fulham playing twice in the next set of fixtures, there is plenty for our Scoutcast trio to consider as the gear up for the weekend’s deadline.

That’s just the start of their Double Gameweek planning. Leeds and Southampton have extra matches in Gameweek 25 and there’s a raft of further games to squeeze into the following set of fixtures.

It is a lot of information for FPL managers to take in, especially as this week’s FA Cup games will determine much of the upcoming schedule.

Luckily Seb has decided to Wildcard this week, which provides the Scoutcast with a perfect opportunity to frame the chat around the best assets to target.

The crew look through Seb’s options and provide the latest statistics from the FFScout Members area on each of the key teams involved.

Manchester City, Everton and Leeds players look vital to their planning, whether wildcarding or not. These players are certainly central to Joe and Karam’s thoughts on using their Bench Boost chip.

Tottenham’s extra games plus the importance of Harry Kane (£11.0m) to Jose Mourinho’s troops are also considered. Just how bad are Spurs without their talisman?

There’s Gameweek 23 to review, featuring some huge Rough with the Smooth bench scores. In addition, fixtures are frisked and Joe takes his turn to pick a differential, amid shock that his selection is not in more teams.

While Seb’s Wildcard understandably grabs the headlines, Joe and Karam take time at the end to reveal their transfer and captaincy plans.

    Yeah it's looking like Gundo (c) this week...

    1. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He look more threatening than Sterling?

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No.

      2. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Absolutely not. But i imagine thats something to do with opposition

  5. Ohh1454

    Thoughts on gundo TC ?

    What happened with Gundo ? LOL

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

      He got taken off at 57 mins same with Sterling.

      1. Jebiga
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Nice

  7. GE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do here with 2FT?

    1) Son -> Rashford
    2) Soucek -> fodder
    3) Other suggestions?

    (2FT, 3.1 itb)

    Martinez
    Cancelo/Dias/Digne
    Salah/Bruno/Son/Gundo
    DCL/Bamford/Antonio

    Bench: Messlier, Soucek, Dallas, Mee

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can't ship Son with a potential DGW in 26. Are you BB ; why is Mee on the bench?

      1. Jebiga
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

        1. GE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, but would you do 2)? Or something else?

      2. GE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point with DGW26. Will probably play BB in GW26 and then WC27.

        Sorry, Mee on the pitch 😉 Bamford, Antonio or Son on the bench then..

    2. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      play mee over antonio,cant see a t/f though

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Agree, but What would you do with 2FT?

        1. SharkyT
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe Martinez to Pope. Start Mee over Son & roll a transfer

          1. GE
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Martinez -> Pope could work, Thanks. Worried though of the value tighted in Martinez (bought him at 4.6), and would probably want him back when Villa will get DWGs

            1. SharkyT
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              In that case your looking pretty set, hard to see an obvious FT.

              I’m weighing up Son> Sterling but will
              Lose value and want him back straight away

              1. GE
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Hmm, maybe Soucek -> Lookman?

  8. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gundo
    Raz
    Dias

    Those are your men, now go get your hits in.

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gundo captain still ok?

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        unsure with Jesus back in the side. If i owned Raz, he'd be my captain.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd rather Cancelo over Dias but yes, those are the guys. I think I might just break my rules so I can get Sterling this week...

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes camzy! Let’s gooooo

  9. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling cappo locked in

  10. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    TC Sterling, or just regular captain.... Hmm tempted. Especially given that I will not be TC Kane in 26

    1. jammie26
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gundo TC

    2. jammie26
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Or Kane in 26. Undecided

      1. tjostolv
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Does kane hav dgw?

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why will you not TC Kane in 26?

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Both tough games ; judging by recent performances I expect City to grab a lead and sit on it.

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Happens with only weak teams.

  11. SharkyT
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    £3.7mITB 1 FT:

    A) Son to Sterling(c)
    B) Steer to Ederson
    C) Kilman to Dias

    Currently:
    Martinez
    Cancelo Coufal Mee
    Salah Bruno Gundo (c) Greal
    Bamf DCL Antonio
    (Steer Son Dallas Kilman)

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C

  12. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How did Sterling and Gundo look? I’m guessing Gundo wasn’t as effective with Jesus playing

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

      He's still making very advanced late runs into the box.

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I'm hoping Jesus doesn't start

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling could've had a couple ; but it is Swansea

  13. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start Soucek (SHU) or Bamford (ars)?

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm playing Bamford.

    2. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bamford

  14. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah > Sterling or Riedewald > Gundo. Can only have one

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Riede -> Gundo

    2. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gundo

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      2nd no brainer..

  15. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Shaw Cancelo Coufal (Robbo Strujic)
    Son Gundo Salah Fernandes (Raphinha)
    DCL Bamford Antonio

    1 FT 2 ITB

    Robbo > 4.6 this week to get in Kane for Antonio next GW?

    1. Dasher0303
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  16. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bernardo also rested

  17. Bushwhacker
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Brewsters time to shiiiiiine.

  18. OleBall
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Players who still have WC, BB & TC.

    Are you WC25 BB26 TCwhenever?

    1. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That’s my plan

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Depends. It might be that I've already many players who have DGW in GW26 then need to think twice if using wc or not.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane's fixtures in 26 may be too tempting to avoid TC

  19. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Cash or Targett for Dbl GW??

    1. Dasher0303
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Targett

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He gets more bonus, I was leaning his way...

  20. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT, 4.8 ITB.

    Son + Stones -> Sterling + Digne/Mee a good move?

    Pope*
    Dias* Stones* Coufal
    Gundogan* Bruno Salah Son
    Bamford Antonio DCL*

    Martinez Dallas Bissouma Bednarek

    1. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Just son > Sterling

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Can't have 4 City. Wish I could though.

        1. SharkyT
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ahh good point. Tricky one, good luck

    2. ajk1211
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have the same team apart from Bednarek and thinking of the same moves. Will wait for pressers before pulling the trigger.

  21. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Think I'm gonna tc sterling

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Against Spurs and Everton? City may well sit on a 1-0 lead in both, they've been perfectly happy to stroll around in recent games (bar the Liverpool one).

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly the same as spurs then who also sit on leads ?

  22. GE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play 2 of these:

    1) Son
    2) Bamford
    3) Soucek
    4) Antonio

    1. Dasher0303
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bam antonio

    2. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      2 & 4

  23. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling TC locked in, can't wait for him to be benched

    1. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He’ll start Vs Spurs but Everton is anyone’s guess

  24. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Rodri fecked. Gundo to DM. 😮

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yaya

  25. Ronniie
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    With Gundo possibly off pens right now, think he holds the same level of appeal? Who could be on pens now for city?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He is not off pens.

    2. jammie26
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ederson

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Tongue in cheek from Pep.

  26. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wham will not have double anytime soon since they lost in cup? Soucek to Gundo for free since Gundo rested?

    Pope
    Cancelo Stones Coufal
    Salah Son Bruno Raphinha Gundo*
    Antonio Bamford

    Adams Robbo Justin

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Correct. Transfer makes perfect sense to me.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate.

  27. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    City CS wiped

  28. CroatianHammer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    & all set for DGW24:

    Martinez
    Cancelo, Stones, Cresswell
    Sterling (C), Bruno, Souček, Tielemans
    Bamford, Antonio, DCL

    If DCL fails to play, it's Alioski off the bench. Might rejig that for Lewis, but happy the way it is currently. Taking 2 FTs into DGW25 and will go grab an additional Leeds player then, likely Raphina for Tielemans, and look at defensive options in terms of moving Lewis out.

    As an aside, Pep handily has Sterling et al off early so allons-y!

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why would Dcl fail to play I haven’t heard anything?

      1. CroatianHammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ah, spoonerism... I meant to say if Antonio fails to play (yes it's fatigue but his hammy is tight)

  29. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pep seriously needs to stop hooking people before 60 minutes.

  30. Matsy123
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which midfielder to get rid of for Gundo for free ?
    Grealish Salah Sterling Soucek Bruno

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No way

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Soucek

    3. jammie26
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish is a season keeper for me.

      1. SharkyT
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Soucek no question
