    The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Eight – Rarebit

    Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: Mark

    Ryan Giggs, Tom Jones, Terry Griffiths, the guy in the Apprentice with the eyebrows. These are the legends that Wales has brought us in recent years but, come the weekend, we might just find that Fantasy football unearths another. Tonight’s final episode of the campaign is a very special one…

    The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred And Seven – Olympian

    Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: Mark

    This week’s ScoutCast episode reminds us that there really is life outside of Fantasy Football. Like the pursuit of the “most consecutive hours spent in one building” for instance, or perhaps the “most impressive eating feat”. Both are key events, alongside Fantasy Premier League ranking, in an annual set of “Bloke Olympics” revealed courtesy of [...]

    The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Six – Significant Touch

    Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: Mark

    With the ScoutCast survey results still resonating, we make minor tweaks to the trusted formula and still manage to clock up our longest episode yet. To be honest, with a double Gameweek looming and “Balegate” to pick through, this one could have run and run, particularly once I’d got “Significant Touch” by Phil Collins trapped [...]

    The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Five – Troughs

    Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: Mark

    Peaks and troughs – every Fantasy season has them and, this week, we revel in the Professor’s major trough in a futile attempt to break the man. After Robin Van Persie issues the boffin a spanking, the Professor shows his mettle by taking it on the chin. Admirable stuff. While we’d have gladly devoted this entire episode to such gloating, we do manage to squeeze in the regulars…

    The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Four – Smug

    Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: Mark

    Wednesday’s midweek matches push the ScoutCast back 24-hours, offering you a Crackerjack style Friday afternoon “treat”. Granville and I could certainly “crush a grape” after reaping the rewards from the Robin Van Persie captaincy and we can’t help allowing our smugness to seep through on several occasions, as we take the opportunity to mock both [...]

    The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred And Three – Armband

    Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: Mark

    The double Gameweek dominates episode 103 of the ScoutCast, providing a timely antidote a pitiful weekend of points scoring that saw even the great and good struggle. While your hosts hardly fit into that category, Granville and I dust ourselves down to rinse through the double Gameweek options, popping in on the Professor to get [...]

    The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Two – First

    Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: Mark

    Sometimes, when in the presence of greatness, you can’t help feeling introspective. With Jonty rolling up with a very special “Full Jonty”, featuring none other than the current top ranked Fantasy Premier League manager, I cast my eye around my virtual dressing room with a feeling of disdain. What choice did I have but to [...]

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Jan Vertonghen outlines what he feels is his best position for Andre Villas-Boas
