The ScoutCast – Episode 184 – Foresight

Foresight – that precious gift that that can bless any Fantasy Football manager. We need it now more than ever.

As Jonty, Andy and myself struggle with the countless permutations offered up by the looming double Gameweeks, we can only hope that our mutterings and musings come laced with just a little dash of foresight.

Steered by an array of community questions targeting the possibilities of the fixture pile-up to come, the three of us discuss the best-laid plans in attempt to jolt our squads out of the current rut.

Around the early double Gameweek discussion, we chew over the optimum blank-dodging strategies as Sigurdsson, Spurs and Stoke top the menu of options. Then, inevitably, we turn attentions to the immediate job at hand, as we preview the weekend and pinpoint potential clean sheets and “Fantasy Island Risks”.

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

    Memphis is a huge confidence player. He's clearly got talent!

      Professional football has talent shocker.

      1. Make United Great Again

        You know what I mean...

          I do, I do. Sorry 🙂

      He's clearly not as good as he thinks he is

    3. Licious Lizard

      Nobody ever doubted his talent I think.

      He needs to learn to play for the team, change his attitude and he will be great under another manager.

      1. Make United Great Again

        You pretty much summed it up!

    4. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      TBH this is his level

    5. goriuanx

      Once he realises it's a team game, he'll do well.

      there's a lot of young talent at Utd.
      When Mourinho goes there it will all disappear out on loan.
      Shame they can't get Pochettino in.

      I was at a pub quiz for my kids school fund raiser. One of my kids teachers was on my team. There was a question about Ireland at Italia 90 and I was like "ha, no brainer". He told me it was a year before he was born.
      It was a seminal moment in my life.

    1. Studgie G
      • 12 Years

    Sweat over phew

  12. Licious Lizard
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Completely understand why they did not let him take it, but wow would that have been a wonderful night for Ashford if he had gotten it - and gotten it right I might add.

  13. Licious Lizard
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Midtjylland red too

  14. goriuanx
    • 13 Years

  15. KingNidge
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Well deserved son

  16. Numb
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Memphis deserved that goal

  17. Licious Lizard
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    United 5-1

  18. Saxe-Gotha
    • 9 Years

  19. Worzel Gummidge

    • Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

    • Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      LVG and Giggs only talk to each other when things are going well

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Don't talk much then

    • goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe this is Depay's level. 😉

    • Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez -> Memphis and Vardy -> Rashford done fore a hit

      1. Sjaugen
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Will you hire a Danish team for them to play against again?

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I have to admit that it was actually a joke.

          But I can tell you that Midtjylland are getting slaughtered in Danish media.

    • Sjaugen
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      @Syd, 😐

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years

        You win some

      Man Utd are going to destroy Arsenal in this form

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        It's not form. It's class.

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Form is temporary. Depay is permanent

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            😀

        2. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Define class

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Depay.

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Lol

    • goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs through to final 16. Dortmund too. Napoli out.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Man United & Basel also through.

      2. Studgie G
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        you had to jinx Basel, now we'll get them and get knocked out, Basel and English sides 🙁

      hats off to jazz predicting herrera as utd's next peno taker after mata miss earlier

      🙂

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Ahem.

    • Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Herrera shouldve let rushford take it.

      1. Volley127
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Not at 3-1, way too risky seeing as they were only a goal away from going out.

      2. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        If he missed and utd lost , that would have destroyed him

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          This exactly.

      3. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        They needed a new penalty taker, not a hat trick hero who won't play
