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.

    Anyone thinking at the Fat One for DGW? Or we not trust Chelsea rotation. Was gonna get VdV and sell Evans for Huth and have 3 DGW defenders, but I can get Lamps, sell Verm for Kaboul/Huth and still have 3 DGW defenders and an extra penalty taker. (Ade, RvP, Lamps, Baines)

          Yes for me it all depends on the champ league. I think that with gw34/36 it's good to have a plan but to be flexible within.

    How do you reckon the 4.0 Villa defender Eric Lichaj's chances of playing for the next couple of gameweeks? Surely, the goal and assist are positive, but is he only playing because of injured players who's likely to return soon?

    I was away last weekend and didn't have internet! Dempsey on the bench 🙁 2nd in mini-league, really need to catch up now. Thoughts on this for a 4pt hit

    Reina -> Vorm
    Dempsey -> Valencia
    Surman -> Brunt

    Then do Suarez -> Cisse and Ryo -> Sess in gw34.
    Would get in Dempsey for gw35.

    Thoughts greatly appreciated !
