The ScoutCast – Episode 127 – Logic

Granville calls it a logic-defying season and this 300k ranked Fantasy manager isn’t going to argue with him. There’s plenty to tussle about in this week’s ScoutCast, however, as we lock virtual horns over Rooney vs van Persie, Baines vs Coleman and Aguero vs his hamstring.

In and around the regulars, it’s the incoming double Gameweeks that occupy our thoughts once more, with the community questions quizzing us on United’s Gameweek 31 potential, the Chelsea dilemma and the best player we’ve witnessed in the flesh. Granville puts forward a true talent: a three time FIFA World Player of the Year, no less. I nominated a floppy haired Geordie with a top 40 single. Truly logic-defying.

Share in Granville’s Zizou moment via this link or stare into my Diamond Lights via the player below.

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

        I'm inclined to agree.

        I'm leading a couple of leagues by 60 ish points so trying to play it safe and cover as many high ownership players as I can. I was a bit risky last season and blew a 100pt lead in the last few weeks, don't want that to happen again!

        Thanks for response on last page Demi ,
        I should have said Aguero > Lukaka (c) -4 ,
        I think that's my best option as I really fancy my Soton trio of Boruc / Lallana / jrod ,
        It would be a shame to sacrifice them over Sergio's hammy.

      Lols @ the Benfica manager taunting Sherwood by holding up 3 fingers after Benfica's 3rd goal.

      His post match explanation? no no he wasn't doing that it was actually "I was saying: 'number three, Luisao, number three"

      Luisao wears #4 🙂

        Seems like most people transferring out Aguero are opting for Lukaku over Rooney.
