The ScoutCast – Episode 136 – Bangin

Fond of sand dunes and salty air, Granville returns from “avin’ it large” in Ibiza, to join me once again in the ScoutCast studio.

The ageing hedonist and I rinse through the regulars – giving our views on the week’s transfer bandwagons, whilst previewing the weekend and giving a shout-out to those managers blazing trails atop the various Fantasy Football Scout leagues.

Inevitably, we also moan about our Gameweek mishaps, discuss the latest development in the United revolution and surf the waves being generated by the Fantasy Premier League price tweaks.

Drop the beats via this link or “roll another fat one” via the handy player below…

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

    Suggestion anyone?
    I am thinking Falcao-->Rooney or should I keep?
    Dimaria as captain?

      Why drop Falcao for Rooney? That's a waste of a move since you've only had him a short time and he hasn't had a chance to prove his worth until this weekend. My opinion....Falcao will have more points than Rooney when it's all said and done.

    Last Season in the Premier League:

    Man. City 0 - 1 Chelsea
    Chelsea 2 - 1 Man. City

    This result was when City were in great form..This season they seem to in a Gear Low...so we can expect Chelsea to win this match (considering their current Form as well) but the real question is will they get a CS...

                  Only have Costa up front with welbz and Naismith. Have Iva, Moreno, Dier, Clyne, 3 big mids and siggy. Went with the sure money makers over the international break and going to upgrade one forward on a double after things shake up at united/city! That's the plan anyway.....

      I'd be tempted by PVA over Coloccini due to form.
      Hull will probably score.

        If RVP is benched Rooney can be in front line again, and Mata in he whole. Best formation for me.

    Is this the week Balotelli gets his 1st RC of the season? 😐

    In all seriousness can see him getting YC & getting subbed off around 70 mins. due to being hot headed against physical West ham side.

    Balotelli ➡ Adebayor (C) for free? 🙂

    Is Falcao captain too risky? Really need my captain choice to pay off this week.

    Other options would be siggy, fabs, Costa, ballo, sterling or Mirrallas

    Who do you thinks more likely to keep a clean sheet, Burnley v Sunderland at home or Stoke away to QPR? Tempted to play Gilks ahead of Begovic in case he ends up playing.
