Thereโ€™s no getting away from it, Granville and I are nothing short of bitter middle aged, middle of the table Fantasy managers. This weekโ€™s ScoutCast is a vitriol-filled slab of double Gameweek failure, inspired by Yaya Toureโ€™s relentless point scoring and our stubborn reluctance to recruit his talents.

Of course, in between skinning our sour grapes, Granville and I dabble with the podcast regulars, whilst responding to another round of community posers including a lookey-likey query that smiles kindly on my co-host and has me recounting the tale of my very own office doppleganger.

Wallow in self pity via this link or look on the bright side via the player belowโ€ฆ

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

    Thoughts on Nasri when Aguero comes back? Will he still get PT? 75+? Might jump off the boat with Silva.

      It's difficult to know whether it's worth it. I plumped for Silva because I thought Jovetic being fit might be a threat to Nasri's gametime; that hasn't been the case. But if Silva's fit he's at least as good an option as Nasri. I'd probably hold for now.

        Haven't even heard of him training. Doubt Pelli pulls a Mancini and rests our in form fit striker when we need 3pts. Aguero and dzeko if anything. Hope I'm right

        Unlikely Kun would play 90 anyway and if we need a goal or are up by a few then Dzeko 20 min is fine by me

      wrote about this earlier. Usually it is the CL player that gets the rest in the league. In this situation, the reverse is true. Do you think that Buttner will start and then be forced to play 90mina on Tuesday?
      Wouldnt the more likely scenario be for Evra to start and give Buttner a run out @ 60mins?

                I would think closer to 14m. Hopefully he will stay injury-free next season.

        To say he is a so-so human being is kinda disrespectful to the average Joe ๐Ÿ˜† He's a twit, but a fantastic footballer.

        He is capable of being a differential, with Coutinho starting in midweek, Sterling could probably start against Spurs, then again, i'm just testing my luck lol

            Wasn't a race, just an 'experience' of life at sea.

            I got my parents to do transfers for me.. Jeez, it's not easy explaining FPL to people who don't know much about football! We weren't allowed any electrical communication (phones, internet etc) on the ship so I had to tell them what transfers to do before I left. Obviously it wasn't very convenient since I didn't know the results/news from GW30 and it could've been ruined by a few injuries but luckily my team was all fit so the transfers worked out ok. Not gonna lie - I was quite nervous. Could've potentially ruined my season if things didn't go to plan!

              I wonder how a team would work out if you had to plan all of your transfers on day 1. I guess changes in schedules and DGW's would cause difficulties but would be the same for everyone
