The ScoutCast – Episode 214 – Smugface

Four middle-aged Fantasy Football managers (just go with it, Andy) and four Romelu Lukaku owners. Four very smug faces.

We try to hide it, we really do, but Romelu’s haul was so sweet, one or two gloating moments may have sneaked into this latest 120-minute episode.

You have been warned.

Our Gameweek’s were even good enough to nudge Granville into making a welcome return, although he was sure to stress that his 81 points had very little to do with the re-appearance.

He joined Jonty, a youthful Andy and myself for the usual grappling session with your community questions.

We contemplate the big hitters to sell and the cheap options to buy, while lamenting Sergio Aguero’s demise and giving Claudio Ranieri our own vote of shaky confidence.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

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

    trying to decide whether to bring Robertson (HUL) or Mawson (SWA) in as my 4th defender, to play in GW28 and also as an option should i prefer not to play an Everton defender away to Spurs in GW27. would also be my only healthy bench player this week,
    should one of my starters not be available.

    also there is the possibility that i may need to get Jakupovic (HUL) as GW 28 goalie (have Heaton/Pickford, both of whom may blank).
    i prefer Robertson to Mawson by a little, but the potential Hull double-up on defense doesn't feel good.

    so . . . Robertson or Mawson?

      TBH I know it's not one of your options but I'd go Maguire.

        i prefer Robertson to McGuire. here's why.

        Hull have been winning playing a back 4. by GW 26 they will have three healthy centerbacks. one of them
        will need to sit unless they change formation to three at the back.

        Dawson -- team capt. who has played every minute when healthy.
        McGuire -- has played very well and has played every minute since GW 15
        Rannochia -- the new boy who was their best player last week. an Italian international with top pedigree who may be too good to leave out.

        Robertson looks 100% nailed on the left..

          Very good point to be fair. They also have Davies who is a very good CB.

          Maybe Maguire is in fact one to avoid.

    For those capping Siggy due to Leicester being crap - get down the bookies sharpish as Swansea are 7/5 to win the match (so put on £500 and you'll get £1,200 back)

    1. Smurf

      Swansea don't need to win for Siggy to be a good captain pick.

      if I had £500 I would be getting jiggy not siggy
