The ScoutCast – Episode 109 – Two Men

No thrills. Few spills. Just two men in a room talking about Fantasy Football.

Granville and I handed Jonty and the “Professor” an extended pre-season and rolled the ScoutCast back to its rawest form. Just myself and the Mancunian sharing our thoughts after a summer break and looking forward to another Fantasy campaign.

We talk double Gameweek assets, I roll out the van Persie duvet, Granville reveals more than he should about his team lineup and, around all that, we assess the early bandwagons and preview the weekend fixtures.

Forty-five minutes of two blokes talking about the stuff that’s rattling around in most of our heads right now.

It’s good to be back.

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

        He's just so cheap. Cards aside could he do well from the new points system?

    I've tried to make sure my subs have strong games in the blank GW, Will probably swap Hazard for Wally in GW 2 as well.

    What do you think?

    The main argument for RVP is that if you don't have him, you don't have any player from the champions.

    But I thought the consensus here is that coverage is nonsense? 🙂

    I care about getting the most points with my budget, and I believe I have a better chance of doing that without RVP, regardless of United 'coverage'.

    Now that Thomas is ruled out for 2 weeks, which 4.5m MF would you guys recommend as a replacement?

    All suggestions much appreciated.
