The ScoutCast – Episode 72 – The Third Man

Have Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney made this Fantasy football lark look easy? Get the pair in, alternate the armband and watch the points flow. Simples.

Even if it really is that straightforward, there’s still a role for “the third man”, the striker that slots alongside the two titans. In this week’s ScoutCast, we rinse this once through, throw some names around and argue a few theories of our own.

Chuck in the usual bandwagon review in “All Aboard”, the Gameweek preview and Mark’s latest gentle Fantasy Premier League reform idea and you have another episode packed and ready to go.

Grab the banter here, or stream away with the handy player below.

          he'd do a run up from the goal he's trying to score into

          then with a foot either side of the ball and his back towards the keeper, he'd fling his head downwards between his legs and casually nod it in
