The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Six – Significant Touch

With the ScoutCast survey results still resonating, we make minor tweaks to the trusted formula and still manage to clock up our longest episode yet. To be honest, with a double Gameweek looming and “Balegate” to pick through, this one could have run and run, particularly once I’d got “Significant Touch” by Phil Collins trapped in my head.

There’s plenty of discussion, another cameo from the Professor and his suffering Fantasy fortunes, the weekend preview and another Full Jonty which, this week, focuses on one Fantasy managers mysterious message from the “other side”. An event that inspires Jonty to go on the hunt for superstitious Fantasy managers.

Walk under our ladder and download this week’s episode via this link or clutch your rabbit’s foot and stream the nonsense from the player below.

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

    Not very confident about my defence:

    baines jones davies clark harte

    - can start baines jones davies this gw but will davies play both games this gw?
    - next gw37 is a bigger dilemma as clark/davies/harte dont start or either play so..

    would you recommend clark >> dawson (-4)?

    Enrique out for a -4 hit:

    A) Vert
    B) Luiz
    C) Kompany

    Which would be preferable?

    Thanks

      Depends on the rest of your team. If you have spurs attackers - Kompany and if u have Man City - Vert.

      Not Luiz as he wont play 180

      Any three are great. Between those guys is like picking a favorite son. But as far as least likely to be rotated Kompany and Vert. Vert most likely to score/assist...along with Luiz of course. And Kompany is most likey to keep a clean sheet and get bonus in a scoreless match where as Vert gets bonus off of offensive prowess.

        Have Bale and Tevez for Spurs and Manc attacking cover.

        Damn, this is a tough choice.

        Was between Vert and Kompany till I saw Luiz's goal last night.

              I agree. I can see them playing an entirely 2nd string line-up just to avoid injuries. (With the probable exception of Hart if he's still playing Panties in the final)

      Tough. You should add what would you do if you dont trade in one or the other?. Maloney has the higher point possiblility this week when compared to Hart 1v1 IMO. But it would also depend on who you would start otherwise.

      flip a coin, seriously. Slightly favoring Sagna(could be affected by the last LIV result)

          I wouldn't go for -8 if i were you

          and why do you want to Hart twice for -8?

          😆

      Bench Baines at your peril. It's weeks like this (when people bench him) he normally goes nuts.

        that's my "worry", better to think it like Baines has double too, one game against pool and 4 points assured on second one..verthongen might get 15 points agains sot tough, but maybe I'll just play it safe.

    Hey lads!
    Important week for me (and all) with my wildcard intact, hoping to pull a lot of green!

    Hart, Robles
    Vertonghen, Luiz, Sagna, Boyce, Demel
    Bale, Mata, Silva, Michu, Maloney
    Aguero, Sturridge, £7.0

    What do we think of the team? Haven't got many opinions so any would be greatly appreciated! 🙂
