The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred And Seven – Olympian

This week’s ScoutCast episode reminds us that there really is life outside of Fantasy Football.

Like the pursuit of the “most consecutive hours spent in one building†for instance, or perhaps the “most impressive eating featâ€. Both are key events, alongside Fantasy Premier League ranking, in an annual set of “Bloke Olympics†revealed courtesy of this week’s rather different “Full Jontyâ€. Our friend in the community brings an extraordinary tale of a top Fantasy manager who runs his life like an achievement list – not to be missed.

Around that, we find time to pop in on an off-colour Professor, welcome Mr Moyes to Old Trafford and discuss the options presented by the Michu fallout.

Take your place amongst the medals via this link or polish your Olympic rings via the handy player below…

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

    Worth a 4 point hit to do Michu + A -> Walcott + B (A -> B to get funds) or simply do Michu -> Maloney and hope that Wigan will do well against Arsenal?

    Morning lads

    DDid Michu to Walcott last night. Not really bothered if Michu is fit, he has no form and I really can't see Swans do a lot at OT now. Plus given I want Theo for the last 2 Michu was my only real saleable asset this week.

      Yes IMO. Rafa has stated he will play. he is on pens and is chasing the record.

      If I didn't have to bring Theo in, I'd look at Lamps.

    Relegation permutations

    Norwich draw/win + Sunderland draw/win + Newcastle draw/win + Wigan lose = Wigan relegated @ Arsenal
    Norwich lose + Wigan lose = Wigan can still stay up if they beat Villa and Norwich lose to City
    Newcastle lose + Wigan lose = Wigan can still stay up if they beat Villa and Newcastle lose to Arsenal

    If Sunderland match Wigan's result, Sunderland stay up this weekend due to superior goal Difference.

    If Wigan win @ Arsenal then basically anything can happen. A draw can only be enough for them if one or more of Sunderland, Newcastle and Norwich also lose or draw. They cannot catch Sunderland unless they better their result.

    So basically, pray for Wigan to lose @ Arsenal...CMON WALCOTT! 😯

      I'm a big fan of Coutinho and he has great fixtures. With Suarez and Gerrard out he loses outlets but he gains influence.

      That said, Maloney is in good form and fighting for survival so I'd keep him and take Sturridge as Liverpool cover for Kone instead.

        i was inclined towards sturridge too. cos he seems to have more potential for exploding and less likely to be subbed off. thanks for the advice. fingers crossed the wigan player i choose to keep doesnt get injured during the FA cup or my plans are messed up!

    Problem: Am leading my ML by 22 points but rival did michu + lukaku >> any mid upto 6.5 + rvp

    A: michu + augero >> townsend + rvp (-4)
    - augero might not play 3 days after fa cup, but michu might be fit for gw38 and essentially i only have 2 defenders but it hedges his rvp move..will then bench maloney but mata is unlikely to play also

    B: mata + augero >> coutinho + rvp (-4)
    - mata unlikely to play this gw before europa league so only loose out on him for chelsea’s last game against everton which shouldnt be too easy.

    C: ignore his rvp move and hope he doesnt start or he doesnt do too much damage..this case i will do clark + michu >> sagna + coutinho (-4)..

    Leaning on B or C...depending on if we get an update on laudrup on michu..with fulham being the last home game, a chance laudrup would want to finish the season in style
