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 genuinely think a badger would do a better job of making a FUT Web App instead of EA.

        Still not up properly. Was scheduled to be up yesterday at 6 but got put back to ten tonight. Now they're saying there are problems with the servers. Joke.

        The Web App always comes out before the game, they give you a few starter packs to get you on your feet.

      Brought him in on WC last week. He's one of my favorite players in the league, I love owning him and watching him. He seems to have a little bit of his mojo back this year going forward he's been much more clinical in the final third. Can't help but think even with the games he missed last year he was playing through injury for part of the season.

    I'll have exactly enough then to do Lovren+Caulker>Baines+4.5 (with 1.0itb), so desperate for Caulkers price not to fall before the weekend and for Baines to stay at 6.9 for another 3 weeks!

          With regards to talking on behalf of an ex team mate (and probable friend). I think that's BS too, simply because this isn't court and Vidic doesn't need to have the right to speak for himself about this - if he feels it's important enough he could respond publicly anyway.

          BUT

          Even if Jags does things technically correct in a particular moment or game, I can't imagine him doing anything technically better than Vidic on a consistent basis, ergo Moyes shouldn't tell them to simply "study" him. It would be ok for him to say "like this time when Jagielka did this", but that's about it.

      A.....have some fun.

      Chambers from GW8. People will say the same about Baines but he can get attacking returns in the tough fixtures, whereas chambers won't.
