The ScoutCast – Episode 192 – Swansong

1,583 Comments

There’s emotion in the air as we prepare to bid goodbye to another season in tonight’s ScoutCast.

I’m joined by Jonty, Andy and Luke as we take the opportunity to look back on our campaigns, dwelling on our successes and regrets and recalling our favourite moments from a most testing Fantasy Football season.

We also take time to identify out lessons learned and appraise the Fantasy Premier League season, carrying out a “Chips Post Mortem”, whilst discussing the likely impact of next season’s Friday night kick-offs.

Finally, for one last time this term, we look forward to the weekend and attempt to identify the final day heroes who could yet make an impression on ranks and mini-leagues.

The ScoutCast is first aired live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get a heads up on future broadcasts.

You can view the full Google Hangout version of this episode via the second player below or stream the edited audio from this link or the first player.

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

    Chips suck. Yes they gave me an undeserved decent rank this season. Which is just another reason why they suck.
    FPL keep doing their darndest to increase the role of luck. I'll quit if it keeps going this way

          Barca have to sell one of their front three in the next year or two, they can't afford all three.. Can't see Messi leaving and Suarez is old enough and controversial enough to escape interest from suitors..

          Neymar however...

      I'm in the same boat , definitely need to ship one .. but can't decide. Getting rid of Carroll will give me the funds for Giroud .. Rid of Defoe will only allow me Long, which doesn't seem a bad choice either.

      Will Costa play? I'd consider Aguero/Martial/Long for him if uncertain which I guess he is. I would be reluctant to take -4 because hopefully your ML leader will and you'll only have 8 to catch up.

    40 behind 1st in ML, 30 clear of 3rd (1st & 2nd in the money)

    My current XI:

    De Gea
    Smalling Bellerin PVA (Wollsch Huth)
    Hazard Sanchez Payet Firmino (Townsend)
    Kane Carroll Defoe

    His XI from GW37:

    Schmeichel
    Cresswell Simpson Moreno (Olsson Kaboul)
    Sanchez Payet Mahrez Antonio (Watson)
    Aguero Kane Sturridge

    Not worried about defending 2nd, all or nothing! 40 a big ask but looking at his team do think i have a chance to catch - Presuming he's going to (c) Sanchez...

    I'm thinking a -4 Firmino & Carroll > KDB & Long?

    Then who do I (c)... Currently between Hazard KDB or Long... & Hope Sanchez & Kuhn blank!

    Any advice appreciated!
