The ScoutCast – Episode 169 – Inferno

The time comes when every Fantasy Football manager has to react quickly to douse some fires in their squad. The problem is, my team is currently a blazing inferno, without a disco in sight.

At least that’s Granville’s opinion. Buoyed from seeing his canny capture of Anthony Martial deliver a brace at St Mary’s, my cocky co-host is quick to dish out a whipping to my ailing lineup.

We discuss the merits of United’s new teenage sensation as part of another round of community questions, served up once again by Jonty. The three of us also ponder the Chelsea revival, David Silva’s fragile ankles and just how our Fantasy Football managerial styles translate to the dog world: a crunch question that’s been brewing unanswered for many episodes.

This ScoutCast was broadcast live on our YouTube channel via Google Hangouts. You can view the full version with visuals via the larger player below.

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

                  I must say I agree. FIFA is more realistic and polished and everything, but PES is simply more fun. And isn't that kinda the point of video games?

                Fifa 16 gameplay is better than Pes this year. The arcade feel is gone, Fifa 16 does everything that is important better, I know UT is glitchy and isn't perfect but it's pretty fun to trade and play games to try and afford better players!

                  Players don't come to the ball, they're lethargic turning, they're lethargic defending dribblers.

                  If you're playing better, your players are made weaker and slower than your opponent's in a bid to keep bad players interested in the game and keep them as repeat customers.

                  Players on mediocre or bad clubs are physically weaker and slower than players at good clubs.

                  It's a bad game and I only buy it because I have more friends who buy FIFA because they don't know about PES and I'd still like to play with them.

                  The only thing about FIFA that is better is they have more money to invest in graphics and licenses. That's it.
