The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Six – Significant Touch

2 May 2013 2141 comments

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.

        Already have Luiz and Vert but considering Davies to Zab (-4) as I fear for Davies' gametime with Taylor back. Can see City getting a pair of clean sheets and Zab getting an assist so might be worth the hit.

      Courtois > Mignolet imo.

      Find it hard to judge between Lukaku and benteke, maybe if Benteke was at a steadier/ stronger team like WBA his returns would be greater. I think Mirallas has an awful lot of talent and potential as does Hazard obviously.

      Everyone is always going on about Belgium being their second team. Why? Because all those players play in the Premier League.

      Tell me though, how do you rate them next to all the other big guns? Could you even name the Argentinian team to play the first game of a World Cup.

        They have the quality to stand a chance, that's all. Of course they don't have the players Spain, Argentina or Germany have but they certainly have some World Class players in there!

          Dunno. It's all about working as a team. Very few of those players play in the same team right now. With Germany and Spain in particular, many of those players already have an understanding at club level.

      predictable answer but wait unless you have the exact cash for a planned transfer and cant afford for him to go up

      Not regarded as even a minor doubt by FFS or FPL.

    I'm benching Remy this week but planning my future transfers and wondering whether I'll need to replace him for GW37 (Newcastle H).

    What do you guys think? Newcastle are shocking but will QPR have any drive to do anything? Will Remy be playing for a transfer?

      I think I might get rid. Vaguely thinking of Tevez/Remy -> Studge/Benteke for a -4.

        He's been a huge disappointment but I can't help but think QPR will score goals against Newcastle.

        Saying that they didn't manage to do too much about Reading.

        Struggling to find a striker with a decent GW37 fixture though, won't need them for GW38.

      they might bench him agaisnt man utd and make him come as a sub but IMO he is certain to play against spurs as it is a big game for top 4

    Made the stupid amateur move of having to bench one of RVP, Walcott or one of my more lowly DGW'ers - Maloney and Kone. Who do I bench?

      Walcott. But I'm not sure why people get themselves into this situation. You know it'll bite you.

        I think it's cos Maloney has been a decent 5th mid option for a while now - people didn't necessarily bring him in for the double.

        He's effectively stopped me getting Lukaku, though (to avoid a benching headache), could be costly I reckon 🙁
