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.

    Vorm
    Evans / Kompany / Naylor
    Siggy / Valencia / Bale / Sess
    Bendtner / Adebayor / Rooney

    Krul Dempsey/BAE/Raylor

    Anyone else worried about choosing a Newcastle or Swansea defender over the other? I have Williamson and Caulker and need one to play. Given the fact that Swansea are amazing at home, Newcastle have been having good form,not to mention Williamson's goal threat displayed against Liverpool. Really stumped on this one, currently have Caulker in but keep twigging as the night goes on.

    So basically, who to play:

    A) Williamson or Caulker?
    and
    B) Bogdan or Swarzcher?

    I don't know if it's just me but does anyone else think Ba wasn't given the assist as Cisse was offside from his pass? By the press association giving the assist to Ben Afra it makes the assistant ref's decision not to flag for offside correct.

      Dempsey will be gone from 90% of teams on here because in GW34 your front 8 will have one bencher and that person is going to be Bale as he has the nicest fixtures afterwards whereas Dempsey has a tough DGW away at Everton and Liverpool.

      I tend to play (H) defenders and goalie.

      Vorm
      Evans McAuley Enrique*

      *Hoping the new L'pool goalie is up to scratch.

    Last chance for Danny Graham tomorrow.
    I was hoping that the excellent form of Siggy would transfer into chances for DG.
    But Siggy seems to shoot on sight.

    Vorm + Graham tomorrow. Could be a poor start: 2 + 2 pts.

    Dear Clint,

    Owning you has been great. From your hat trick the week I brought you in to your brace as vice captain when Mancini trolled us all its been glorious. Even the two occasions you've been on my bench for 2 pointers have been good times, with McClean racking up double digit scores on the pitch in your place.

    Now GTFO

        I've benched Komp. Arsenal should score.
        Walters is a good shout. He might start scoring again soon. Plus he's on penalties...

        Haven't been too involved with my FF this year.
        Dyer has been there all season, Silva since week 4 and Walters since week 22 😛

        Last transfers:
        Aguero -> Rooney GW30
        Bale -> Valencia GW30

        I cant see a good replacement for Dyer so benched him recently, Walters just floated by and I think he has a good chance this week. Silva is just not pulling the trigger when I should have.
