The ScoutCast – Episode 136 – Bangin

Fond of sand dunes and salty air, Granville returns from “avin’ it large” in Ibiza, to join me once again in the ScoutCast studio.

The ageing hedonist and I rinse through the regulars – giving our views on the week’s transfer bandwagons, whilst previewing the weekend and giving a shout-out to those managers blazing trails atop the various Fantasy Football Scout leagues.

Inevitably, we also moan about our Gameweek mishaps, discuss the latest development in the United revolution and surf the waves being generated by the Fantasy Premier League price tweaks.

Drop the beats via this link or “roll another fat one” via the handy player below…

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

    Anything urgent that I need to change with my team? I haven't really payed attention to what have been happening since last GW. I got one free transfer and will be gone for most of the tomorrow/weekend so only got today to make changes.

    Bego
    Janmaat-Ivanovic-Clyne
    SIggy-Fabregas-Henderson-Sterling(V)
    Costa-Adebayor(C)-Aguero

    Subs: McCarthy King PvA Wisdom 0 Mil in the bank.

    Still doubting putting Adebayor (C), especially considering that my biggest rival most likely will Captain Costa.

      Good to go though I'd probably play PVA over Clyne

        Hmm, Sunderland got 0 CS compared to Southamptons 2 so far. Sunderland does however have a better fixture, tough choice 🙁

    Hazard:

            If (big if!) it comes to pass just remember how close the UK and Ireland still are, despite Ireland going independent 90ish years ago, and amongst far more fraught circumstances.

            The countries of these islands will always have incredibly close social bonds; that will never change.

        I'm convinced Di Maria > Fab and Welbz > Pelle is worth a minus 4. Would give me a front three of Costa, Kun and Pelle - they top the charts for shots and goal attempts on a table I just created.

        Good move?

              I just think that it's such a 50-50 whether ADM and Welb or Fab and Pelle will score the most that it's not worth the -4.

          In the last four games:

          Shots
          Costa 14
          Pelle 13
          Kun 11

          Shots inside box
          Costa 13
          Pelle 11
          Kun 9

          There is more, but the above is probably enough?

                The immediate set of fixtures favours Pelle as well but Welbeck is probably a long term buy. Think it'll be last minute if I decide to do it

                Really is a toss up. Have had Clyne from day 1 but if I didn't I might go Bertrand just to save a little money
