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.

        thinking this

        what are you doing with Yaya. Mata seems the obvious choice along with Silva but I have Noone as well. If Yaya is only going to miss one week, or Silva won't play v WBA then I see no point in selling

          Think Silva's chances of being fit for Monday are much better than Yaya's. Yaya may have lost a lot of his appeal anyway if Aguero takes penalties back.

            this is also true, it just means an extra hit is is all.

            Kos looks good for his price but he doesn't have a DGW. I can just afford Evra now, so I think he'll be out come DGW with rises.

    I'm 57 and 48 points behind the leaders in two respective mini leagues.

    I know to catch them I need to NOT captain Suarez, perhaps going to for Eriksen or Aguero (who they don't have as far as I know).

    But I can't bring myself to do this. Suarez LOVES Norwich.

      Apart from Suarez, I want my high value / high ownership players out for diffs / DGWers. It's make or break time!

    I have yaya and hazard. I'm thinking of benching yaya and transferring hazard.

    I know if I get rid of him he will play this weekend. Is there are news on him?

    hmm, not transfer that facilites Rooney and Mata in GW36 is worth a hit this week, but if i don't do it I'm looking at -12 GW36 or waiting till GW37 for Rooney or Mata when I could be priced out of them

    Well I've made my transfers for the week.

    Yaya - Mata & Coleman - Vermaelen (-4)

    One standard, one distinctly punty, both getting rid of high ownership players who, hopefully, will be dragging others down in the run in.

    Will probably do Luka to Rooney next week.

    i am having an end of season attack of apathy,

    have Dzeko, Silva and Hazard [and 1 maybe 2 def needs changing as well really] and can't summon the energy to work out what to do with them all. Also have AJ. Also have Lukaku and want shot.

    And me with WC played not a month ago!

      Dzeko to aguero, hold silva, drop hazard for salah on a one week punt. Keep lukaku and bench for a week, then play or ditch for podolski.
      Take one hit a week for the next three weeks, rotate between eriksen to ramsey to whoever is back fit by then, work in nasri and mata for gw 37. Sorted!

        Good advice.

        I think I will worry about it tomorrow - too late in the season to worry about price rises especially with choices of Puncheon and Mutch as easy cheap mids...

        Thank you SJ
