The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Six – Changes

3,654 Comments
Share

As we close on a century of episodes it was time to freshen things up and bring new voices to accompany my drone and that of grumpy Granville. In this weeks’ episode, we draft in both “Professor” Chris Atkinson and his “Rate My Team” computer, plus long-time community member and contributor, Jonty, for a new ScoutCast regular.

Don’t worry, the usual format remains intact although, having recorded this just minutes after last night’s whistles, Granville escapes the usual mini-league grilling. Not surprisingly, there’s plenty of “Granny’s miffed” to endure, plus “All Aboard” and the weekend preview. That’s’ rounded off by the “Full Jonty” a brand new feature that will bring you, the community, into our weekly ramblings.

Have a listen then get involved by mailing jonty@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Wenger now suggest Gibbs will be out for "four to six weeks"

    Anyway back to football
    Can I get your thoughts on Zab/GJ strategy - currently on WC.

    A: GW25 Zab > GW26 GJ > GW27 back to Zab
    B: GW25 GJ > GW26 Save FT > GW27 Zab and another FT to field 11.
