The ScoutCast – Episode 144 – Squeaky

3,664 Comments

It’s “squeaky bum time” in the ScoutCast studio as Granville continues to chip away at my previously “unassailable” mini-league lead. My co-host stumbled through an injury-strewn Gameweek 12 with the honours, leaving me trailing and worrying that he’ll have clawed it all back by Christmas.

Pressing on, we flog the Hazard vs Fabregas debate once again and run the rule over a cast of budget strikers, desperately searching for the optimum way to spend the two transfers burning holes in our pockets.

We asses the week’s transfer bandwagons, look ahead to Gameweek 13 and take time out to tease Jonty on his Di Maria u-turn. We then combine “powers” to terrifying effect and prepare the ScoutCast XI for their Fantasy Football Scout Cup qualifying round, having flexed its muscles to the tune of a 59-point Gameweek 12. Intimidating stuff.

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

          hurts for sure, but las GW is already in the past so shouldnt enter in the conversation in my opinion. But it's true that it's troublesome to have all thos injuries and next GW coming in 3 days!

            Believe me I don't want to sell him. For some reason Im the only one holding him in my ML. Thanks to him I've been holding onto pole position for the last couple of weeks, but I have lost massive ground the last 2-3 weeks and another no show from Baines with rivals owning Rooney/ADM could be a massive blow to me.

    The only reason to not captain someone because it is the early fixture, as far as I can see, is that it can be a loooong weekend if they get a 2-pointer!
