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

      Good moves imo, Silva & Siggy.

    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
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        already doing both of those things

        1. the axolotl
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

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

    2. Somalion

      10 years, 12 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
        10 years, 12 months ago

        I do

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 12 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

            10 years, 12 months ago

            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
              10 years, 12 months ago

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

          2. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            😎 Aye, it is very handy!

      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
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Adblock plus?
        Adwcleaner does quite a good scan.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 12 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
          10 years, 12 months ago

          no it was called yellowcab

            • 13 Years
            10 years, 12 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.

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

    5. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Okay, thoughts on this? Good moves? 🙂

      Sanchez & Bellerin > Mata & Terry for free.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        Good. Unless you don't have Silva

        1. Jeremiah
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Have him.

      2. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 12 months ago

        long as you change your grav

        1. Jeremiah

    6. Stryder05
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 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

    7. Colonel Shoe 肝池

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

      1. Jeremiah
        • 13 Years

        Sanchez & Aguero?

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          yup

                10 years, 12 months ago

                No love for Mata/Rooney?

                1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
                  • 14 Years
                  10 years, 12 months ago

                  pool fan so no 😉

                10 years, 12 months ago

                Not smart at all.

    8. MTPockets
        10 years, 12 months ago

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

        1. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

          Eriksen but there is no right decision

          1. MTPockets
              10 years, 12 months ago

              Cheers. Yeah I can't decide.

          2. RiflaFC
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

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

        2. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 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
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Fellani?

            1. Puyol Pants Up
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 12 months ago

              They play City and Chelsea in GW 32-33

          2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
            • 14 Years

            CPL mids for three games look good.

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 12 months ago

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

              1. Dr Dream
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 12 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
                  10 years, 12 months ago

                  He does, but no room at the inn

                  Murray will be going in my Mondolgol team

                  1. Dr Dream
                    • 13 Years
                    10 years, 12 months ago

                    Good choice.

                2. 32chickens
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 12 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
                    10 years, 12 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
                      10 years, 12 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
                    10 years, 12 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

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

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

          Will listen tomorrow during work..

          Thanks guys (as always)

          • 14 Years
          10 years, 12 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
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Im keeping for sure, Sanchez going first.

          2. Puyol Pants Up
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            I am never getting rid.

            1. gravless
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 12 months ago

              lol

          3. the axolotl
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 12 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
              10 years, 12 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
                10 years, 12 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
            10 years, 12 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
            10 years, 12 months ago

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

          6. A.T
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

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

          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 😀

          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

          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
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Sanchez > Silva maybe?

            1. Atwood
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 12 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
                10 years, 12 months ago

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

        8. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 12 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
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Contemplating Mata.

            1. Atwood
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 12 months ago

              Yep, same here

              1. Jeremiah
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 12 months ago

                City/Chelsea games a bit off putting.

                1. Atwood
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 12 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
            10 years, 12 months ago

            I meant City and Chelsea of course 😳

          3. copps
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 12 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

        9. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

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

          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

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

            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.

          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)

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

          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

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

            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
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Austin

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

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

            Austin (C)

            1. Venom Snake
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 12 months ago

              Clyne was my first 😛

              I'm not totally convinced on Austin this week tbh

                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!

          • 11 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Play
          Sanchez (LIV)
          Or
          Eriksen (bur)

          1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 12 months ago

            Sanchez.

        23. Caesar, Hot Mustache
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 12 months ago

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

          1. JoeJitzu +42
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 12 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

                10 years, 12 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
              10 years, 12 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
