Scoutcast Episode 334 – FPL Gameweek 31+ Wildcard Options

3,424 Comments

Whether you have an abundance of Fantasy Premier League chips or none remaining, this latest episode of the Scoutcast has got you covered.

Joe is joined by Lateriser and Andy to look ahead to Gameweek 31+ and beyond, with a close eye on chip strategy.

Lateriser is among the many FPL managers to take advantage of unlimited transfers in Gameweek 30+ and use their Bench Boost chip. With his Wildcard now in play, he reveals the players in his thinking and how best to navigate the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile, Joe only has a Bench Boost to fall back on. Our trio looks at the best Gameweeks to consider using not only this chip, but other remaining chips too.

Andy has used all his chips but after tinkering during lockdown with his team, he feels he is in good shape to match his chip-happy rivals.

Among the issues they discuss are what to do with Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m), who blanked in his last two run-outs but has two good fixtures ahead and enticing underlying stats too.

Sticking with the Gunners, there are replacement goalkeepers to mull over, after Bernd Leno (£5.0m) suffered a nasty knock against Brighton at the weekend.

The best Liverpool assets, whether Manchester City can be swerved temporarily and the unlikely appeal of Newcastle United are also in the mix.

In this packed 75-minute show, the Scoutcasters also find time to look at the best clean sheet prospects. Lateriser takes his turn to pick a differential and there are Gameweek 31+ squads to reveal.

Who will they captain and which players can help propel them up the rankings?

          Possibly yeah, dropping him allows me to get DCL in for Nketiah, so there is good potential upside. All a bit of a risk at this point.

        Oh yeah ASM, Mahrez and Barnes too I guess.

        Mahrez is really interesting. 141 points is more points than Rashford and he's played fewer minutes too. He's the 4th highest scoring mid.

      It's not the fault of your superb WC, I would blame the players not living up to it. 😀

    Just reluctantly sold my only ever-present this season KDB. Chasing in ML and seems he'll only start every other match. But with that same logic, Foden really looks a shout

      Isn't Kdb gonna play every game?

        No? their remaining PL games will be dead rubbers. They're still in fa cup and won't want to overplay him with CL in mind further down the line.

        Yep initially planned to FH this week, but the WC team I want in GW33 is almost the same as it is this week.. Will have the FH handy for the final day, or if some games get delayed from players popping for covid.

          Yup, was asking because we had identical BB teams. I also opted for my WC this week. FH will be handy later on.

      I'm in the same situation but I've kept. Rested today so liekly to start with Chelsea.

      Pep will make sure they qualify for CL before really giving him more rests I think. Especially with 2 tough games to come. Get 4 points and that'll be enough.

      The attack is a bit different. If you’re chasing, I like it

      I just took a 20 point hit so I'd definitely have gone WC if available!

    Surprised Greenwood isn't more people's third striker - cheaper than Nketiah and looked really good V Spurs, much better than James.

      Agreed but think this is partly due to many having double united and considering triple with a defender in addtion to Bruno/Rash/Martial/Pogba
