With cheque books fluttering on the eve of the transfer window slamming shut, our Fantasy seasons could be transformed by some notable new arrivals. In this week’s ScoutCast episode, Granville and I chew over the latest fresh faces to crash the player list – United’s “Angel” Di Maria and Liverpool’s “Devil” Balotelli.

With just a single point between us and the comfort of top 100k placings, my co-host and I are more than just a little content as we the rule over the current bandwagons and preview another weekend’s action. It won’t last.

Bed yourself in via this link, or get acclimatised via the handy player below…

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

          Probably though fixtures not great short term. Any City forward could be risky long term, rotation likely

          He, along with Whittingham and Mutch were dependable cheap options at various points throughout the season last year. At 4.9 and with penalties he's certainly one to keep an eye on. Just still don't know what teams Bruce will roll out in the PL and EL.

                    Unfortunately for you, brains would have been better for this decision.

                      Thanks. Haven't changed that much i just swapped Mata and Hazard for Di Maria and Fab. Also took Costa out.

                      Should i be using this 2.6 mill now or am i being clever for the easy Aguero swap in next week when he will start games...?
