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.

        Yeah he's nuts.I thought Cameron's aggressive stance would have driven voters into his arms. I'm glad Salmond didn't win for the sake of the Scottish people but if they think Cameron will be able to deliver on his panic promises they are sadly deluded...

          I think that there will have to be a Constitutional Convention ...

          There are now some very ugly animals wandering about in the forest - and most of them want to feed on Cameron!

                Just brought in Duff, so would lose 0.1 and would have to replace him with another 4.0 DEF. Don't like it to be honest.

                  Well that's fair, I just think Duff may see some bench time but to be honest I wouldn't know.

                  Keep an eye on Schmeichel as well, United at the weekend but some okay fixtures after and I reckon defensively they're on the rise.

    Current front three .

    Costa - Ade - Dzeko

    Think I'll captain Ade this week, but can't decide whether to ship Dzeko for Rooney or Pelle. ManU might starting to roll, Rooney guaranteed to play and everyone has him. Pelle in form though, and Saints got better fixtures from GW6 onwards. So,

    A) Dzeko -> Pelle

    b) Dzeko -> Rooney

        Am tempted - I'd expect Rooney to probably outscore him this week but from next week I could then decide between Ade -> Rooney / Falcao / Kun / Sturridge. But then Rooney is more of a proven FPL assett. The safest choice would be Ronney (C) this GW, as everyone and his dog will be doing that.

      Well, for once your intuition has let you down. He really is a bloody marvellous player.

      I will never forget when he got me 3 x assists, 1 x goal and 3 bonus as Captain! 😉

        I know he delivers, that's why I have hime, but I just can't get along with him...Every time I watch him he looks pants. I watch dozens of players and come away thinking they are great...but never ever once with Ade...

          Try and see him in terms of WHERE he is - not what he looks like. He has such stunning technique that he literally doesn't have to try. Positionally, one - no - the very best that I have seen.

          That is why he is so annoying, for some.

            Pretty much sums it up...It's obvious with some players why they are so good...Aguero is quick and very strong and nobody can get the piggin ball off him. Walcott very fast..Hazard very skilfull and sharp in the turn...Ade is much harder to pin down and less obvious as to why he's a good player...Just looks like a big galoot sometimes.

    Why is nobody even considering Goalman? Is it because of his price and lack of set-piece duties?

    He has scored 1 goal, made 1 assist and got a clean sheet in the last 3 league games and scored in Europa league as well..

      Baines is similar with set pieces and pens and 0.1 cheaper...It'd be daft to go for Coleman.Great pick in his own right though.
