The ScoutCast – Episode 154 – Beard

With Granville sulking on sabbatical, it was left to myself and Jonty and his flourishing facial hair to hold the fort, ably supported by this week’s guest, Luke aka D1sable.

Racking up one of the longest episodes for months, the three of us talk slippers, banish at least seven teams to the Championship and mention Jeffrey Schlupp as much as humanly possible. Despite missing Granville’s secret sauce, we also do our best to serve up the regulars, whilst addressing the quizzing and probing from the Fantasy Football Scout community – thats you.

Once again, if you escaped the horror of Monday’s live Hangout you can view the full movie below. Alternatively, you can enjoy our semi-slick, edited audio version via this link or the first player.

If you want to get the heads up on future Hangouts, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

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

      Your team looks set...Panti --> Fabianski looks good....and save 1 FT

      Yep, lose Panti if you've lost faith in him. I'm lucky that I got Sterling, easy for me to do the Mane switch. Fabianki is a good pick since you got no SWA atm.

      Cheers all, Panti's getting dropped then - just need to choose a replacement, best get researching clean sheet/defensive stats 🙂

      Sanchez looks to be the prime candidate to be dropped given he has a blank and zero form.

      But he's your only Arsenal attacker so probably keep.

      Pants > Forster then.
