The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Five – Troughs

Peaks and troughs – every Fantasy season has them and, this week, we revel in the Professor’s major trough in a futile attempt to break the man. After Robin Van Persie issues the boffin a spanking, the Professor shows his mettle by taking it on the chin. Admirable stuff.

While we’d have gladly devoted this entire episode to such gloating, we do manage to squeeze in the regulars, whilst Jonty turns up with more community gold: the tale of a globe trotting Fantasy manager who takes his advice off Frankfurt clubbers and QPR fans, whilst trying to figure out the Russian phrase for “please, wireless, I’m desperate – I have Djibril Cisse up front!”.

By the way, the Professor isn’t the only one who can take criticism on the chin. Granville and I want some feedback on the ScoutCast and my co-host has worked on a short survey to get your views. Take five minutes to help us out while you listen in via this link.

    For GW36:

    OUT - RVP, DDG and NDaiye
    IN - Kone, Hazard/Mata, Hart

    -8pt hit.

    Risky?

      As soon as I saw RVP out, I thought to myself that this is a definite risk

              oh well...then it's up to your rival to go with iffier punts...Although 23 pts is a bit of a narrow margin..

    So, when defending a lead in a mini-league at this stage of the season, what is the best strategy...

    a) Keep hits to a minimum and make only a few shrewd moves when needed
    b) Take hits for DGW to maximise points at an attempt to increase your lead
    c) Get those big balls out and make loads of transfers, sod the hits, and win in style?
