We’ve had the ball in for an examination – we’ve screened it for fibres from Hatem Ben Arfa’s boots and we can now reveal that the results were inconclusive. The forensics proved nothing – Quincy has let us down.

As you may have guessed, last weekend’s events at the Sports Direct Arena and the Fantasy Premier League’s assist ruling provides the topic of discussion for this week’s ScoutCast. Wrapped around that, Mark and I throw in the usual regulars and I try my best to keep my chin up throughout, despite the widening mini-league gap.

Bring this week’s episode in for an examination via this link. Or stream the evidence from the handy player below.

      I'm playing Dempsey and Walcott. But Yak looks a great option against a shady WBA defence. I suppose RVP gives you Arsenal coverage so there is logic to benching him. Or the apparent dodgy away form of Dempsey but vs Bolton he could do great things.

      Comes down to Theo or Yak.

    Anybody from Stoke worth a punt? Fixtures are lovely but form is a bit indifferent. ShawX or Huth could be worth a shout but alright for defenders at that price range for now so looking at attackers:
    Shotton isn't nailed on.
    Pennant is a RR and a doubt.
    Etherington is a doubt and has injury problems all the time.
    Walters hasn't scored or assisted in 2012.
    And Crouch is well Crouch.

    So a no go zone?

      I was moving towards getting in Shawcross for Simpson, but attackers is a no go zone IMO.
