The ScoutCast – Episode 130 – Hangout

1,880 Comments

The ScoutCast revolution is here. Not content with having to ensure our voices are up to scratch, Granville and myself decide to risk ridicule and stream our first live Google Hangout version, putting our hairlines and choice of décor on the line.

Having embarked on this brave new world, it also made sense to shake up the content so we welcome back Jonty to fire us a whole host of questions from the community and introduce some special guests along the way. We start this week with none other than the world’s top Fantasy Premier League manager – Luke Weston is in the house to rub shoulders with mediocrity and field our inquisition.

If you missed the live stream, you can catch the full “warts and all” hangout version via the player below or, if you’re a traditionalists, you can help yourself to the regular edited podcast version via this link or stream it via the first player.

PS: Apologies that we focus the camera on Granville and then myself – this is down to human error rather than our huge egos. With our ranks, we’d rather have been off camera.

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

      I always tease my son for watching videos on youtube of some guy playing Minecraft. "why would you watch some nerd playing the game, when you can just play it yourself?"
      He had his revenge last night when he saw me watching this.

    Coleman - Azpi - Ward - Vlaar - Chester
    Hazard - Silva - Eriksen - Snodgrass - Mutch
    Suarez - Sturridge - Lukaku

    0FT, 4.1m ITB

    Obviously lots of problems (Hazard, Snodgrass, Sturridge at a minimum)

    Looking at Aguero, Mata, gerrard etc

        That makes sense. I have Kun already. If say Silva won't play on Monday then selling him to Yaya is a bit silly. I am tempted to overlook Mata and just get Rambo, nice fixtures till the end of the season, it just depends on Rooney

          I think we may all be overplaying the worries over Mata being shifted wide. Yes it may happen and yes his returns weren't great when he was out there. But he has hit form and the confidence is high again after Mourinho rejected him.
          Top class player in good form = in my team.

            I only have room for one of Mata or Ramsey atm, and no way I can afford Mata and RvP

            Chester, 6.1, Mata and Rooney is do-able. so possibly Rafa or Kos. With just one of them I can have Kos and Evra. You see my dilemma.
