The ScoutCast – Episode 162 – Smugface

I can’t deny it – right now my luck is in. Following on from Sadio Mane’s three-minute explosion of points, I’m finding it hard to mask my “smug face” in this week’s ScoutCast episode. You’re advised to stick to the audio version rather than suffer it in full effect via the Google Hangout recording.

Whilst resisting the temptation to revel in my Gameweek 37 glory, I do my best to invite both Granville and Jonty into the conversation to cycle through the ScoutCast regulars. We also tackle another batch of community questions, as you quiz us on final day punts, our Fantasy Football Scout moment of the season and on the state of the Fantasy Premier League game that we know and love.

This episode was recorded on Wednesday evening (prior to Eden Hazard’s visit from the tooth fairy) and beamed live on Google Hangouts.

As mentioned, if you’re a glutton for punishment, you can view witness my battle to hide my grin via the movie below. Alternatively, you can sample the edited audio version of this episode via this link or the smaller player above it.

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

    C) Giroud/ Ramsey for Toure/ Gomis
    -4 hit

    -4 hit

    F) Giroud/ Ramsey/ Hendo for Lukaku/ Toure/ bolasie

    Thought about this overnight. With 2 FT's I reckon it's worth taking a hit to sell Hazard. Which of these do you prefer? Not sure De Gea is worth a trade at this late stage, may play and get 2 points, if he doesn't Hamer may get a start who knows..

    De Gea
    Kos Was McShane
    Sanchez Hazard Fellaini Larsson
    Kane Giroud Aguero(c)

    Hamer Boyd Bertrand PvA

    a. Haz Bertrand Kane > Silva Kolarov Lukaku (playing Kolarov instead of McShane)

    b. Haz Larsson Kane > Silva Yaya Vardy

    Hit Free sensible Trade!
