When Kevin Anderson’s workmates convinced him to put together a Fantasy Football squad the day before the season kick-off, little did they know that they’d unleashed a monster.

Eight months later, Kevin sits just three points off the top, £30,000 prize, in the Sky Sports game, having never played Fantasy Football. Regardless of the outcome, that’s a debut season to remember.

Kevin was our guest on this week’s live ScoutCast Hangout, joining Granville who made a return from his brief sulk hiatus, and Jonty to complete Tuesday night’s quartet.

We discover how Kevin’s relentless planning and stalking of opponents has helped him scale the ranks to within touching distance of the glittering prize. We also take time to digest the double Gameweek options, previewing the weekend with all the usual haphazard panache.

If you missed Monday’s live Hangout, you can catch the full version below, complete with that classic moment where I crash out of the conversation and leave the others hanging.

If you prefer your ScoutCast in a more slick, digestible format, you’ll want the edited audio experience, available on iTunes, via this link or the player below.

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

    Sanchez and Mane to Silva/Mata and Siggy for 2 frees? Tempting

    right lads some PLEASE help me out here

    Those annoying ads that appear over words have re-appeared. I have run a spy bot scan and removed some stuff, i found a couple of programmes that looked like they didn't belong and uninstalled them. What the feck else can i do? They're doing my head in

    1. the axolotl

      adblocker? use google chrome browser?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        11 years, 3 months ago

        already doing both of those things

        1. the axolotl
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          maybe a sweep? remove unwanted programs / speed up pc, type thing. some malware has found its way in

    2. Somalion

      11 years, 3 months ago

      Do you have malwarebytes? If yes, run a scan with that. If no, download it and run a scan with it. Spy bot is great for adware etc. but if you're noticing odd installations it'd be worth running malwarebytes.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I do

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          See what that turns up. Strange if you already have adblock etc. so it'll find whatever it is.

          +1 good shout Somalion malwarebites is very good

            cheers lads, I'll do that but it looks like somehow an extension was installed onto Chrome and that is what was causing it. I have deleted that extension and so far so good, but I'll run Malwarebytes just to be on the safe side

            1. Somalion
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Ah hopefully that sorts it 🙂 I agree, best to run the scan to be safe!

          2. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            😎 Aye, it is very handy!

    3. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I not much good with that sort of thing but i got a guy to go through mine a while back when i was problems and he installed something called Adblock Plus

    4. MTPockets
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Adblock plus?
      Adwcleaner does quite a good scan.

    5. Keano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Is the extension called GoSave? I've had the problem before and it was an absolute pain to get rid of. Can't remember how I did exactly as it was a while ago but if that's the one you have I'll try to remember.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        no it was called yellowcab

        1. Keano
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Ah ok, sounded similar to a problem I had about a year ago. I find MalwareTips a pretty good site for help with stuff like this, if you havent already I'd say have a look there and see if they suggest anything.

    6. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      I get that now and then. It's annoying.

  3. Jeremiah
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Okay, thoughts on this? Good moves? 🙂

    Sanchez & Bellerin > Mata & Terry for free.

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Good. Unless you don't have Silva

      1. Jeremiah
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Have him.

    2. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      long as you change your grav

      1. Jeremiah
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        😀

    3. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They looks good 🙂

  4. Stryder05
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Trying to figure if it's worth using my FT this week or not, any ideas? I was thinking of switching Aguero to Costa but might leave that til next week

    Courtois
    Bertrand, Terry, Clichy
    Ki, Henderson, Sanchez, Eriksen
    Captain Kane, Benteke, Aguero

    Subs: Lloris, Downing, Moreno, PvA

  5. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    just realised im getting rid of my 2 most expensive players............... suddenly feels wrong 😕

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez & Aguero?

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        yup

        1. Jeremiah
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Who you getting in?

          1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            siggy n tekkers...... i know right

            1. Jeremiah
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              No love for Mata/Rooney?

              1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                pool fan so no 😉

            2. A guy
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Not smart at all.

  6. MTPockets
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you bench of Eriksen/Ozil (Hazard, Silva, Philips - dgw)?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen but there is no right decision

      1. MTPockets
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. Yeah I can't decide.

    2. RiflaFC
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      After Ozil was caught at a nightclub the other night he might be punished by Wenger this weekend..

  7. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who are some good GW 32-33 punts to go for before I wildcard? Really considering getting Berahino for that two week period. Any other player worth considering?

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fellani?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        They play City and Chelsea in GW 32-33

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      siggy, chadli

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      CPL mids for three games look good.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        btw, Puncheon's stats pee all over Zaha's and Bolasie's

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah they do...but he's not as exciting to watch. Murray trumps the lot of them....and a few other far more expensive fwds.

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            He does, but no room at the inn

            Murray will be going in my Mondolgol team

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Good choice.

          2. 32chickens
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            radical-if murray was mid it'd be a no brianer
            pardew has finally spotted the most reliable cpl forward
            -remember the 3rd against liverpol-gayle got the praise but it was murrays talent..

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              These DGW's and blanks at a pain in the neck. Without them a lot more people would be going for him and Sakho.

              1. JK - Cønt ⭐
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Sakho is another one

                Good stats and good fixtures, plus no Carroll to push him back to a supporting role

            2. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              yeah big issue for Murray, Kane, Giroud, Kun, Austin, Tekkers, even Rooney

              Forward market very crowded. Midfield is a better area to take a punt as only Hazard and atm Silva (who I don't own 😯 ) look like must haves

  8. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Been looking forward to this scoutcast (like all)....

    Will listen tomorrow during work..

    Thanks guys (as always)

  9. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on Aguero? He's still getting lots of shots, and I consider him one of the best strikers in the league, so I'm reluctant to get rid.

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Im keeping for sure, Sanchez going first.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I am never getting rid.

      1. gravless
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        lol

    3. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      discouting messi and ronaldo, i think he's the best striker in the world, better than suarez and everyone else imo. i'd keep

      1. 32chickens
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        yes but not on form
        but he is difficult as he doesn't normally work his way into form ,he traditionally just appears and knocks 2 or 3 in

        1. the axolotl
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          he's not far off tho, decent stats. an anomaly i feel. important thing is he seems fit enough

    4. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He's the most difficult player in the league to get rid of as you won't be able to get him back once you do

    5. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'll be keeping for sure, very unlucky to not come away with a big haul last time out.

    6. A.T
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't. I think he's playing ok, just a bit unlucky.

  10. TG32
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hey guys,

    Started a new Facebook page where I place my articles in relation to football on! Hoping to get it up and running! Hoping to get a good following and adding to it as the weeks go on!

    Give me a like on the below link 😀

    https://www.facebook.com/whatsthestorynews

  11. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    1FT, 2.7M in bank. 1WC left. 82pts behind leader which I probably won't catch up so looking to defend another 7pt lead I have.

    Panti
    Terry Clyne PVA
    Hazard Eriksen Silva Mane
    Aguero Kane Giroud

    Heaton Boyd Bellerin C.Dawson

    1 - Boyd--->Phillips (bench Mane)
    2 - Aguero --->Austin (Costa in week after)
    3 - Bellerin/Pva--->Naughton/Caulker/Isla
    4 - Save FT
    5 - Use WC

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      4

  12. Atwood
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Evening all.

    2 FT's and 0.0 in the bank. Any advice? Thinking of Hamer > Myhill. Starting XI is not finalised.

    Adrian
    Van Arnholt - Koscielny - Clyne
    Hazard - Sanchez - Eriksen - Coutinho
    Aguero - Kane - Austin

    Hamer - Boyd - Wollshcied - N.Taylor

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez > Silva maybe?

      1. Atwood
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'd like the extra City coverage.

        Do you not fancy him against Liverpool though? I suppose his returns have been weakening...

        1. Jeremiah
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Pool have kept 6 cleanies away in a row. Not expecting a big haul from him tbh.

  13. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone getting United assets? They have a good fixture this week but you'd expect tight games against Arsenal and Chelsea with so much at stake. They are playing really well though, so maybe fixtures won't matter...

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Contemplating Mata.

      1. Atwood
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, same here

        1. Jeremiah
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          City/Chelsea games a bit off putting.

          1. Atwood
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I think the Chelsea one is. I think United can beat City though. But of course, it's not an ideal fixture for an attacker I admit.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I meant City and Chelsea of course 😳

    3. copps
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      yeah good form is generally better than fixtures though - but the fact that its the best 2 teams makes me stay away for now

  14. 32chickens
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    play coutinho or sanchez ?
    is sanchez due a rest?
    is coutinho due another excellent showing?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      id play cout

  15. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Play Mané or Coutinho?

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Mane

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        *Mané

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Mané

  16. The Generalator
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    This question has probably been covered extensively throughout the week but been away.

    Is it worth bringing in Austin and selling Giroood?

    What was the consensus?

    Thanks

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not for me.

    2. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not for me either but partly cos I've got Sanchez and Caz as well so one of them has to go instead

    3. milky16
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      the consensus is that it is not worth it but i can't help but be tempted by it. depends on your position i guess - it seems a bit of a risk to go without austin this week as so many will have him.

  17. tbhogal
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    G2G this week have one free transfer?

    Heaton
    Terry,Dawson,Bertrand
    Hazard,Sanchez, Mane,Eriksen
    Giroud,Kane,Aguero

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez > Silva?

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Which Dawson is that, I presume Hull??

  18. copps
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So it turns out when you drink too much on your bank holiday, you end up with scott sinclair in your team. I'm talking about a "friend" (its not me)

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      scott sinclair's (girl)friend?

      1. copps
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        My name is John. But some like to call me JT.

      2. che
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Sounds like how he ended up pulling her (Helen Fannygan) in the first place. She looks like a Dirt bag!

  19. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Which defender should I start this week?

    A - Sakho
    B - Rose
    C - Trippier

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Rose

    2. Sid07

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Serious Question, 2FT and 0 ITB

    A. Wilson & Walter to McAuley & Philips
    Or
    B. Kosc & Sanchez to Lescott & Philips

    I know 2 looks mental but it allows me cash to get Costa, a decent Midfielder for Walters next week and field 11 for GW33

    Panti (Krul)
    Terry Bertrand Kosc (PVA Wilson)
    Hazard Silva Eriksen Sanchez (Walters)
    Aguero Austin Kane

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      no problem with b -puntish but its that time of the season to take chances

  21. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    No Skrtel could benefit Sanchez this week. Who's selling?

    1. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looking likely I will.

    2. Rhinos

      yes that's one of the things holding me back ,also wengers reluctance on walcott and ox and welbeck
      -sanchez has a place and skittles is a huge loss for liv

    IMO every member of Team Scotland should sell Sanchez and Aguero, ideally this week and most definitely if it needs a hit

    Now where did I put that crate of whiskey?

    All set here I hope, thoughts on who to captain?

    Panti
    Terry - Clyne - Naughton
    Hazard - Sanchez - Coutinho - Eriksen
    Kun - Kane - Austin

    Hamer -- Bertrand - PVA - Albrighton

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Austin

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Clyne over Bertrand..... Most contraversial decision ever!

      Austin (C)

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Clyne was my first 😛

        I'm not totally convinced on Austin this week tbh

        1. JoeJitzu +42
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          No one is..... I'm gonna captain him purely for potential.

          Having said that I'm the worst at picking captains have had it on Aguero last few weeks and have dropped serious positions!

  25. Mash Potato

    Sterling to Mane and Teke Captin anyone?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  26. Caesar, Hot Mustache
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    play
    A. Jones
    B. Rose

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Jones

  27. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Play
    Sanchez (LIV)
    Or
    Eriksen (bur)

    1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez.

  28. Caesar, Hot Mustache
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    pheww. struggled to let Alexis go, but I couldn't take it anymore. Silva in.

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That's the easiest Sanchez transfer....

      I've already got Silva so I'm contemplating Sanchez to Philips.... Frees up cash, GW33 problems and a the decision of who to bench between Sanchez and Eriksen this week!

      1. Jeremiah
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Mata?

        1. JoeJitzu +42
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If I get rid I gotta get 6.7m or less to free up funds for Austin to Costa...

          So we're talking Mane, Hendo, Siggy type here.

      2. Caesar, Hot Mustache
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I wouldn't do the Phillips transfer. There's simply no one I can trust besides Austin. Eriksen v Sanchez could go either way really. Sanchez at home sways it
