The ScoutCast – Episode 154 – Beard

With Granville sulking on sabbatical, it was left to myself and Jonty and his flourishing facial hair to hold the fort, ably supported by this week’s guest, Luke aka D1sable.

Racking up one of the longest episodes for months, the three of us talk slippers, banish at least seven teams to the Championship and mention Jeffrey Schlupp as much as humanly possible. Despite missing Granville’s secret sauce, we also do our best to serve up the regulars, whilst addressing the quizzing and probing from the Fantasy Football Scout community – thats you.

Once again, if you escaped the horror of Monday’s live Hangout you can view the full movie below. Alternatively, you can enjoy our semi-slick, edited audio version via this link or the first player.

If you want to get the heads up on future Hangouts, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

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

        I have Clyne and Bertrand so bit of an overkill getting Forster as well. Could go Ospina, but no game in 33 and my other GK is Hamer :/

            That could work, but I already have Dawson so might not be a bad decision getting rid of Foster. Though Myhill would save me some funds. Cheers.

            I went Foster > Fabi for this reason though there is a risk with them potentially having nothing to play for, Monks done a great job so hopefully he will keep them focused till the end.

      My advice play your own game, dont make the mistake I made. I made it to the top of a money mini league a few months back then started to pay more attention to what my rivals were doing than my own team. Slipped to 4th now just about still in the mix.

      if you can do austin to giroud and back next week (if you want to that is) then do it....giroud could get a haul this week, he catches you, and then copies you next week.

    Cuadrado rising kills off any doubt there is as to the existence of illuminati.

    Myhill
    Terry Fonte Toby
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Silva
    Kun Kane Austin
    Foster Moses Bellerin Dawson
    0.9 in the bank
    2 FTs

    Next week i'll be downgrading Sanchez to clear funds for Costa(for GW 32 onwards) so dont wanna downgrade any mid this week/upgrade any forward this week so i'm down to upgrading my bench basically(happy with my starting 11 anyway)

    A) Foster to Mignolet.. leaves me with no keeper GW 33 if Foster is back fit
    B) Bellerin to Schlupp/Naughton
    C) Moses to Mahrez(dont want phillips since i wont play him next week and he has a blank after)
    D) Anything else?

      Yes with 49% selecting Kane and 39% Costa i like the idea of Giroud as captain, though Silva's recent form is worth checking out.
