Scoutcast: Explosive differentials for the FPL season run-in

Joe, Andy and Seb help Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers prepare for Gameweek 35 and beyond.

With only four Gameweeks remaining, time is tight for FPL managers to climb up the rankings.

Low-owned players with the potential for notching explosive returns look key to a successful conclusion to the campaign.

Our Scoutcast trio consider the best options, looking at notable double-digit haulers and considering their expected minutes on the pitch.

Even as they uttered the name Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) as a key difference maker, the Belgian was notching returns, as this latest episode was streamed live during Manchester City’s UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Chelsea’s stars are also on the agenda. The likes of Marcos Alonso (£5.6m) and Timo Werner (£8.7m) certainly have explosive potential but can they secure the minutes needed to deliver?

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur face a Euro-distracted Leicester City, a side they have often prevailed against. But can Antonio Conte’s wing-back system recapture the form needed to supply the likes of Harry Kane (£12.5m) and Son Heung-min (£11.0m)?

With Joe returning from holiday, he attempts a Spanish greeting to viewers and listeners with mixed results. Seb is buoyant with a current rank in the top 500 and Andy may well roll a transfer as he looks forward to Double Gameweek 36.

Elsewhere, there are all the usual features including the latest moves of the show’s community team and our trio’s captaincy plans.

    All good to roll?

    Feel like 2FTs for BB36 will be worth it

    Foster
    TAA | Matip | Cancelo | James
    Salah | Sterling | Mount | Saka
    Werner | Nketiah

    Schmeichel | B.Davies | Pukki | KDH +0.6m

    No City, just Salah from Pool... Was really hoping for dgw37 for City.

    FH 36 here I come.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yeah, likely makes sense.

      1. Rassi
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yeah. Also means I am stuck with Weghorst to the end. 😀

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      City confirmed for 36?

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        more or less

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Seems so.

        The clubs know.

  3. AzzaroMax99

    Son to KDB is a no brainer, but would you get Watkins for Toney? He could be better shout than Coutinho in dgws.

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yea villas fixtures are good enough for that move with the double tones doesn't have

    2. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I like Watkins for 35-37.

      (Disagree about Son --> KDB being a no-brainer)

    3. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Why is Son > KDB a no brainer?

      Son is assured of starting while Pep might rotate a bit with the CL game next midweek.
      Yes title race is on, but City can rotate a bit

    4. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Watkins is a better pick over Coutinho imo based on recent form, but I'm not sure I'd want him over Toney

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    It will be a challenge to afford prime Man City and a strong bench if you want to BB36.

    Might be better to FH36 and BB37.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Oh yeah. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Thanks. Xx

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Unless you go boring and try to stay rotation-proof and go triple City defence. Which I wildcarded into this week with just wonderful results so far :eyeroll 😀

  5. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    FH now anyone instead of GW36?

  6. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Anyone able to advise on whether Liverpool gw37 fixture is likely to be confirmed anytime soon?

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I'd imagine it will get announced at the same time City Wolves is (which I assume is soon)

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      No need to panic. 37 is the only week it can go in.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thanks for the reassurance lance corporal Jones.

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          lol

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Is it an additional double or just moving from 36 to 37?

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          it was scheduled for 37 but pool have city in cup so goes midweek

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Thanks

        2. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          It's gonna move from the weekend to midweek. So still a single gw

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Ah gotcha, that makes sense.

  7. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Is Ederson a waste of a City spot? Thinking Ramsdale > Ederson might be preferable to White > Laporte for me budget-wise to allow for a midfield upgrade in 36.

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      no cos he's nailed

    2. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Not a waste.

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Brought him in along with Laporte on my WC, then Watford scored...

      Waste of space.

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        18 clean sheets says otherwise

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Yet kept keep clean sheet at home to a Championship side.

          1. el polako
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            *can't

          2. Jock Grealish
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            lol ok

  8. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on Sterling (c) and saving FT followed by Sterling to KDB before DGW36?

  9. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    I can get to KDB if I sell Son or go for Foden and also Cancelo?

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Have Laporte and Cancelo and will bring Foden myself

  10. WOL vs MCI confirmed for 36
    Rotation's Alter Ego
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Here we go, official confirmation of what we were expecting:



    Wolves vs Man City moves into GW36


    Wolves - che + MCI
    Man City - NEW + Wolves

    And Southampton vs Liverpool moves back into GW37, this time during the midweek.

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Jimenez to play the role of the party pooper?

    2. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Disaster outcome for me who was planning to BB36 and FH37!

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I'm happy, fits in with my BB36 and FH37

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Disappointed, not surprised. City GW37 looked ideal for the FH.

      Ah well, can't wait to be heavily punished for the Sterling > KDB transfer I'm going to have to make after he blanks again this weekend.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Someone saying it was originally in 37 and got moved to 36, hence the delay

      1. Union_Jacks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Typical.

    5. lugs
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      nice, i now have 11 doublers for 36 and can roll a ft for 37 🙂

  11. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Assuming Liverpool Soton fix is placed in GW37 I am leaning towards reverting my FH to GW36 to contain hits for City cover

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      see below

  14. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Would you do Havertz to Foden for 36? Already have Mount and although Chelsea DGW is nice, maybe they rotate for Leeds given FA Cup final is shortly after

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes I would

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      On the fence.

      Foden hasn't been an amazing pick this year, and you can't guarantee he definitely plays both.

      Chelsea have two very good fixtures after GW36: LEI+WAT.

      I come from angle where I also have Maddison, and debating whether moving to likes of Saka/Coutinho (less sold on latter) is worth it instead of Havertz - although could do all for a -4.

    3. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I would do Mount > Foden.

  15. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Too much choice for GW36 🙁 :

    A) Son + Pukki / Dennis
    B) Kane + Dewsbury-Hall
    C) KDB + Sargent
    D) Sterling + Dennis / Pukki
    E) Mahr / Fode / Bern / Gund + Richarlison
    F) Jesus + Maddison / Coutinho / Raphinha / Kulu / Sarr
