The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Eight – Rarebit

1,980 Comments

Ryan Giggs, Tom Jones, Terry Griffiths, the guy in the Apprentice with the eyebrows. These are the legends that Wales has brought us in recent years but, come the weekend, we might just find that Fantasy football unearths another. Tonight’s final episode of the campaign is a very special one as Jonty crashes the party with a special guest – a Welshman that most of us have been looking up to all season.

We chat to the FPL title challenger in the “Full Jonty” after we discuss the perils of the final day fixtures, check in on a much improved Professor, question the transfer trading in “All Aboard” and preview Sunday’s season farewell.

Thanks to all who have listened in on this nonsense this term – here’s to another campaign in a few months and step closer to catching Last of the Summer wine.

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

            Yeah, I'm one point behind in my ML and I've got exactly the money for it. Just feels right especially with that Reading defence, just hope their keeper has an off day

              Naah, I just think he might be nackered. So if he does not play it wont be a huge surprise IMO. But every chance he plays too as they have nothing to save him for.

        To put it into context, at 2020 points, I was around 131k last year. Where would 2020 points get me this year?

        And my score is more than 2020 this year, just making the question a little less confusing:)

        Braces and hat tricks almost never follow each other. That is why I personally look for bale as my C. But stats wise Sturridge is the best striker if not player for FPL around and going against QPR.
        Stat wise only Bale compares from the options available. There is RVP too, but he is well...

            I agree with you as I would really need a differ. But just dont know if I wanna overlook Bale.

            Sturridge is just one of those who I would never like to not have while he is nailed on. he is one of those selfish VDV, Robben, Ronaldo types who always get something.

      Bale, top scoring mid over the season, needs the 3 points and is at home against the 2nd worst defence in the league.

      Sturridge, in a real hot streak, desperate to establish himself, main striker in the team against the worst team in the league.

          Oooh tricky! If you've got no one beneath you and fancy a gamble I'd draft out mata and bring in a good MF & upgrade Remy. Then try and captain someone else and hope for the best! Risk = Reward but it is a risk!

            If I upgrade Remy who would you bench!

              Take out mata and do a cheapie maybe? Nolan or maloney Great first sub and you'd have £4mil'ish for your pick of strikers/upgrade lamps (will he play 90, I doubt it- can see a cameo)! All I'm saying is if you need to catch them there's no point having all your money tied up in the same players as it cancels it out....as I say big risk but if there's no one just below you I'd go for it!

        most likely scenaro if Aguero is fit. But I am 100% sure that at least one of those players will be rotated.
