The ScoutCast – Episode 183 – Hivemind

1,889 Comments

So, as it transpires, my conversion to the “dullside” is almost complete. How else can I explain the fact that I appear to have formed a hive mind with Jonty.

Having recently caved in and recruited Sergio Aguero, this episode of the ScoutCast sees things take an even more alarming twist as I find myself replicating Jonty’s thinking – for so long the archetype of a dullard Fantasy Football manager.

Andy can only watch on, doing his best to quell my concerns as the three of us tackle another round of community queries. We talk around ways of breaking out of the template that constrains us, discuss the forthcoming fixture blanks, assess the prospect of doubling up on defences and even consider selling Aguero.

Jonty dismisses the idea and, true to form, I agree with him. How did it come to this?

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired live on YouTube channel. You can witness the full recording via the larger player below, or wallow in the edited audio version via this link and the smaller player.

      Same dilemma.

      Benching Alli atm.

      Feel that Ighalo could get a double digit score in any of the next 2 gws.

    Really don't want to captain Aguero this week think he's guaranteed a maximum of 6 points.

    Who else do you go for though? Out of Firmino and Payet for me.

    Or do you go Kane or Alli as City were so bad last week?

    Not bringing in Costa, Rooney etc as not guaranteed GW30 fixture.

    Afternoon all. 🙂

    Transfers I'm looking to do over the next few weeks-

    Dawson+Nyom+Ighalo+ ➡ Vardy+Bellerin+Azpilicueta

    Team would then be -

    Foster - McCarthy
    Bellerin - Azpilicueta - Alderweireld - Wollscheid - Simpson
    Sanchez - Ozil - Payet - Mahrez - Alli
    Aguero - Kane - Ighalo

    Got 0.3m to cover for any rises falls.

    Sound plan?
