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.

              I do t think RVP is like that. I accept he might not play as much but I think RVP is the type of player who just loves to score and win.

We don't like moderated users being discussed because its unfair given that they cannot respond to comments made.

    If any of the scouts are about...

    Will we get to see the results of the survey from the last Scoutcast, or is it just an 'in-house' thing?

      We're not going to publish them, but I can assure you it was very useful feedback which will come in useful for moving forward. We know what the community want out of the scoutcast now.

        No problem, cheers.

        I'm pretty sure I can guess how it went anyway.

        Ooh. Not a bad shout. Not sure I can physically drop RVP though and need to get rid of Berbs if he isn't playing.

    My decision this week:

    A) RVP + Fellaini + Enrique (benching Walcott)

    OR

    B) Kone + Mata + Vertonghen (-8)

    Any help much appreciated, hoping to finish in top 1k for 2nd consecutive season.

        Hopefully so, because my trigger finger is primed and ready to take the -8 hit and play Walcott.

    Is this worth -12 hit? Would leave me with 9 dbl gw players

    DDG ->Hart
    Jenkinson -> Luiz
    Sissoko -> Mata
    RVP -> Lukaku

    Or could keep it at -8 and keep DDG. leaving me with 8 dbl gw players
