Scoutcast: Double-edged swords for FPL managers in Gameweek 29

Joe, Seb and Andy help Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers prepare for Gameweek 29 and beyond.

New challenges await FPL managers this weekend with another Double Gameweek on the horizon.

Once again there is a broad mixture of quality in action twice. While last weekend Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea were among the key teams to target, this time the assets of Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur will be in demand.

Everton, Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion also play twice and may come under consideration.

But as our Scoutcast trio discuss the best options, it becomes clear that ‘big six’ assets will be top of their shopping list.

Meanwhile, they have to go ‘Rondon deep’ to find an Everton asset worth picking up in their frisk of the latest Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area statistics.

FPL managers choosing differential ‘swords’ to attack the Gameweek may find themselves with problems ahead during the remainder of the season as our trio rummage through the final fixtures of the campaign. This includes an examination of the latest thinking of where further Doubles and Blank Gameweeks may land, thanks to the hive mind of the FPL community’s scheduling experts.

Seb marks a return to the Scoutcast with some thoughts on Gameweek 28’s over and underperformers. Were Reece James (£6.2m) and Danny Ings (£7.7m) owners lucky to haul? Can Raphinha (£6.5m) owners count themselves unfortunate not to earn themselves more points?

Elsewhere, the latest poor defences are examined, Joe’s elderly cat Ruby makes an appearance, and the community team enjoys the benefits of a Wildcard.

Joe has also achieved a green arrow so far in Gameweek 28 after deploying his second Wildcard, but there are mixed fortunes for Seb and Andy’s Bench Boost. One is seeing red, while another is on the edge of the top 5,000.

During the end of the show, audio gremlins conspired to interrupt our hosts’ voices, which saw the quickfire questions round move over to Twitter after Tuesday night’s stream.

Thankfully they did find time to chat about their own Gameweek 29 transfer and captaincy plans.
