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.

    I was going to do Rooney to Kun with my FT, giving me a front 3 of Welbz-Costa-Kun...

    after the QPR game, it now looks silly... is it a case of "it was just QPR" or is Rooney worth keeping over Kun?

    I really hope Mata can hold onto his place, he was pretty much a striker in the last game the way he was positioned last time with rooney and RVP either side. Will score plenty if they keep the same.

    So my WC team so far….

    Forster
    Bertrand,Lovren,Bardsley
    ADM,Fab,Siggy,Sterling
    Costa,Falcao,Pelle

    I'm not sure about Falcao and Pelle

    Falcao could rise but he also could be on the bench, should I swap to Rooney??
    Pelle's fixtures are great but no sure long term was thinking of switching to Welbeck. I also have the money to upgrade Falcao to Aguero…..
    Any opinions?

    Thanks

              Good point. Don't think I'll get to change Debuchy any time soon without the hit as I always seem to want an attacker change. Getting Pelle would help but part of me wants Adebayor this week.

      Can't think of anything to write so here is recipe for fluffy pancakes

      135g/4¾oz plain flour
      1 tsp baking powder
      ½ tsp salt
      2 tbsp caster sugar
      130ml/4½fl oz milk
      1 large egg, lightly beaten
      2 tbsp melted butter (allowed to cool slightly) or olive oil, plus extra for cooking
      To serve
      Maple syrup
      Butter
      Preparation method
      Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl. In a separate bowl or jug, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter.
      Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and, using a fork, beat until you have a smooth batter. Any lumps will soon disappear with a little mixing. Let the batter stand for a few minutes.
      Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. When it's melted, add a ladle of batter (or two if your frying pan is big enough to cook two pancakes at the same time). It will seem very thick but this is how it should be. Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, then turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen to about 1cm (½in) thick.
      Repeat until all the batter is used up. You can keep the pancakes warm in a low oven, but they taste best fresh out the pan.
      Serve with lashings of real maple syrup and extra butter if you like.
