The ScoutCast – Episode 134 – Starter

Gently does it. Granville and I ease ourselves into the season with another thirty-minute bite-size podcast, gradually building up our fitness before we go full tilt next month.

Yes, it’s just the pair of us again, cuddling up in our intimate studio to discuss the events of Gameweek one, whilst casting one eye on the fixtures and events to come this weekend.

We get through the usual array of regulars, with Granville explaining how a wedding and a bout of childcare threatened to ruin his campaign, just as it gets out of the blocks. We reach out to all those Siggy benchers, whilst picking the bones out United’s limp corpse following their opening day defeat. We then chat Fabregas vs Hazard, Ivanovic vs the rest (they’re going to run and run) and sing Ultimate’s praises for helping the previously unloved play their part in our Fantasy seasons.

Pick at the buffet via this link, or dash straight to the main course via the handy player below….

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

      Tiote still out ergo Newcastle are trying to find a buyer and don't want him injured!

        Thanks Doosra! Will be exciting to see if he plays, as Mert seems to be back and Flamini the most likely Arteta replacement.

      I have the exact same 4 and I don't think I can bring myself to replace any of them. Almost wish one of them are a doubt for their game to make the decision easy for me.

      Perfect, I don't like giroud as player by with arteta out he should be on pens, that said I think 3 arsenal players is a bit much considering upcoming fixtures!take a look at Bony's fixtures thy seem decent however I'm not sure his heads in it, might be wanting a transfer behind the scenes!

    One team got a defender that reached the final with his country in the world cup, impressed by going forward and being a part of a team that kept several CS.

    The other team got a forward who played for a team that didn't even qualify from their group, was the worst of the bunch on the field and hasn't shown any kind of form the last year.
