The ScoutCast – Episode 130 – Hangout

1,880 Comments

The ScoutCast revolution is here. Not content with having to ensure our voices are up to scratch, Granville and myself decide to risk ridicule and stream our first live Google Hangout version, putting our hairlines and choice of décor on the line.

Having embarked on this brave new world, it also made sense to shake up the content so we welcome back Jonty to fire us a whole host of questions from the community and introduce some special guests along the way. We start this week with none other than the world’s top Fantasy Premier League manager – Luke Weston is in the house to rub shoulders with mediocrity and field our inquisition.

If you missed the live stream, you can catch the full “warts and all” hangout version via the player below or, if you’re a traditionalists, you can help yourself to the regular edited podcast version via this link or stream it via the first player.

PS: Apologies that we focus the camera on Granville and then myself – this is down to human error rather than our huge egos. With our ranks, we’d rather have been off camera.

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

    Based on a previous answer:

    A) GW 35: Yaya -> Gerrard
    GW 36: Mirallas -> Mata (NO HITS)

    B) GW 35: Yaya -> Sterling
    GW 36: Mirallas -> Mata
    Lukaku -> Rooney (-4)

    C) GW 35: Yaya -> Gerrard

      I own Sturridge and Yaya Toure and still unsure which one I will drop. Can afford both drops tonight so will most likely lose Sturridge tomorrow if he is 100% ruled out. Was holding out hope he'd play and then I'd just bench Toure and save my 2 free transfers, but it's unlikely. Was 84 in world last week but now 103 and want to get back into top 100.

        Another option is a -4 for me - Sturridge and Toure OUT and Aguero and Ramsey IN.

        I could also save the -4 and just do Sturridge to Adebayor which is another option.
