Far from a tribute to Chris Martin’s middle of the road act, this week’s ScoutCast reflects on the sea of yellow flags that have flooded our Fantasy Premier League squads over the past week. You’re nobody unless you’ve collected at least four by Saturday morning.
The uncertainty caused by phantom international break injuries dominates proceedings as Granville and I mark a return to the studio. Whilst I start praying for Georgie Boyd to step up, my co-host begins his campaign to hypnotise me into getting rid of Branislav Ivanovic before he starts putting further daylight between our teams. I’m refusing to gaze into Granville’s eyes.
Elsewhere this week, we catch “Cup Fever” and resurrect the ScoutCast team. Sign up and you could soon have the pleasure of knocking Granville and I out of our own cup competition. Providing we qualify of course – that’s far from a given.

9 years, 7 months agoI see some on the boards fretting about trying to get rid of a cheap non playing defender or one who can't be played due to the poor defence they are in.
A good strategy I find to get rid of a 4.0 def is to keep an eye out for a gw where your def doesn't look too hot and take a hut for a defensive replacement for the guy who you want rid of. If the guy you are brining in has a good chance of a cs then the hit can pay off immediately and if they new guy has good fixtures he could pay off over a longer term even if not in the short term.
I find these dead players can really effect your points potential over a long period if you don't take the surgery option and amputate them asap.
What do you think? Worth taking a hit to tidy up your team even for a lower value player?
