The double Gameweek dominates episode 103 of the ScoutCast, providing a timely antidote a pitiful weekend of points scoring that saw even the great and good struggle. While your hosts hardly fit into that category, Granville and I dust ourselves down to rinse through the double Gameweek options, popping in on the Professor to get the “Rate My Team” viewpoint, before Jonty crashes the party to serve up another community themed conclusion.

This time around, Jonty brings a tale of armband woe: a Fantasy manager who misses the captain target with frustrating regularity. Whilst that manager’s luck should offer cheer, Jonty is also armed with a plethora of captain statistics that come courtesy of a former “Full Jonty” victim. Those particular revelations have me staring into the eyes of a certain Dutchman and wondering where it all went wrong.

Be captain sensible and grab this latest episode via this link or stream it via the player below.

*Apologies for the downgrade in sound balance this week – we had some technical issues which basically meant I forgot to restart the recording half way through and so had to use a lower quality recording mix. A balls up: it won’t happen again (that’s probably a complete lie – it’s bound to happen again).

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

            Yeah, but it does, if he did end up getting us qualified, he'd be a manager who can lead a team into the CL, that's how the teams will think, as he'd have helped us into the CL. If it's just 5th for us, only teams who play in Europa will consider him.

              I think he's got a big enough reputation. Teams know what he's all about and what he's capable. He can just aim for trophies for selfish reasons now. I honestly don't think whether he finishes 4th or 5th will have an affect on his future employment.

                He was out of job for almost 2 years, and there were quite a lot of teams which needed managers then, they obviously didn't consider him at all. So his reputation's only going to rise.

          Walcott may not be rushed back in the 1st game.
          Sagna is OK.
          Sissoko has a very good fixture this qweek.
          You'll probbly want to transfer Michu back in before the DGW36

      Zab > Sagna would be a poor piece of business. Zabaleta could easily outscore sagna this GW.

    Excuse my ignorance, but if Chelsea win the Europa that means a super cup fixture, so does that mean another GW 1 Chelsea DGW next season?

    A)
    Remove Mata or Lampard? And, in addition to this transfer, would you rather:

    B)
    remove Lambert for Berbatov
    or
    remove Sissoko for Walcott*

    *would require transferring out Mata.
