The ScoutCast – Episode 186 – Contrary

Rarely has the ScoutCast witnessed the collision of such contrary forces. With the radical โ€œAndy Gโ€ dropping in alongside the self-proclaimed โ€œdullardโ€ Fantasy Manager, Jonty, we were always going to be in for an entertaining ride.

Foxes fan Andy arrives to express his emotions with both Leicester and his Fantasy Premier League lineup riding high. We look back on his implausible captaincy of Riyad Mahrez back in Gameweek 1, whilst picking out the highlights of Andy’s rip-roaring โ€œmaverickโ€ season.

Another round of questions from you, the community, has us attempting to unpick the looming double Gameweek scenarios, whilst โ€œAndy Mโ€ takes time to dispel the template myth. The four of us then turn our attentions to Gameweek 30, with beatnik boss Andy G revealing his rebellious streak with some crazy transfer talk.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first shown live via our YouTube channel on Wednesday. Be sure to subscribe for details of future episodes.

You can view the full โ€œHangoutโ€ movie via the larger player below, or suck up the edited audio mix via this link or the smaller player.

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

    Done a bit of forward planning, for what that's worth... Going into GW34, I could have the following team with no hits. No wildcard unfortunately but chips still intact

    Forster. Elliot
    Rojo*. Azpi*. Simpson. Wolly. Daniels.
    Firmino*. Antonio*. Ozil*. Silva*. Mahrez
    Aguero. Lukaku*. Costa*

    0.7m ITB
    * means at least one DGW

    Am I on the right lines? Any help appreciated!

    Another cool thought.

    Getting rid of Ozil and Payet for Yaya seems nasty with potential DGW's/loss of value, yet my only city cover is:

    Kompany and Kun.

    How about Otamendi for a City triple up.. a double up in defence?!

        Whilst that does look like my best transfer generally it doesn't give me an extra DGW player. I think I might end up just going for it anyway though.

        I guess i take comfort after each dismal performance in the fact that surely its hammering another nail in Van Gaal coffin but it always matters and especially against Liverpool and they played us off the park..

          if we score 3 (we won't) i'd lay odds we'll let one in and go out on away goals - didn't watch it tonight, just listened on radio but we seem to be so lethargic at the start of games.
          only exception to that was possibly arsenal when we actually looked like we wanted it.
