The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Seven – The Hole

We just won’t let it lie. Having rinsed through the idea in this week’s Digest, the prospect of dropping this new breed of “in the hole” midfielders into a new Fantasy position gets another airing in this week’s ‘Cast. Granville agrees but we still somehow manage to argue about it.

Around that particular hot topic, there’s our usual brand of regulars, plus a preview of the two sides that lie in wait for us in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup and the latest on Ed’s team and his work on the new comments system. “Mr Ghostship” had a bad week – could it be all the attention has piled the pressure on his big coding shoulders?

After listening to last weeks podcast I was thinking the joint team should be a bandwagon team. EG transfer in the highest transferred in player, if already in the team then the next player. A guy at my work does not watch football but always does well in the league by going for players others do.

    The above is assuming Hazard > Valencia, Walters > Fellani (no hit) ... my other option was Walters > Fellani, Walker > Stoke Defender - but Valencia's fixtures are rather tasty and quite a nice differential
