The ScoutCast – Episode 192 – Swansong

There’s emotion in the air as we prepare to bid goodbye to another season in tonight’s ScoutCast.

I’m joined by Jonty, Andy and Luke as we take the opportunity to look back on our campaigns, dwelling on our successes and regrets and recalling our favourite moments from a most testing Fantasy Football season.

We also take time to identify out lessons learned and appraise the Fantasy Premier League season, carrying out a “Chips Post Mortem”, whilst discussing the likely impact of next season’s Friday night kick-offs.

Finally, for one last time this term, we look forward to the weekend and attempt to identify the final day heroes who could yet make an impression on ranks and mini-leagues.

The ScoutCast is first aired live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get a heads up on future broadcasts.

You can view the full Google Hangout version of this episode via the second player below or stream the edited audio from this link or the first player.

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

    Bringing in KDB & Aguero for the Champion's League battle...

    Darlow (robles)
    Bellerin Smalling PVA (Cresswell, Martin)
    Sanchez KDB Hazard Payet (Antonio)
    Aguero Defoe Naismith

    (Naismith in his first match back at Everton is obviously a wild punt)

    All good? PVA a rest risk and should start Cresswell instead?

      I'd start Cresswell, personally I think its highly likely PVA will be rotated out and even if he was to start I can see Sunderland conceding.

    Here is hard one.. I lost the money league, the cap is now 86p (he is OR 186 and im 5k). Trying to secure second place.
    I got 22p lead for the 3rd player.
    My:
    De gea (Mannone) (2 FT, 0 ITB)
    Cresswell, Cathcart, Smalling (Moreno, Kaboul)
    Payet, Hazard, Sanchez, Fabregas (Milner)
    Martial, Carroll, Sturridge

    Rival:
    Robles (Darlow) (1 FT, 0 ITB)
    Monreal, Gabriel, Reid (Kone, PVA)
    Coutinho, Noble, Payet, Sanchez (Willian!)
    Sturridge, Aguero, Costa!

    Aguero essential here? I wanna get rid of the Fab and sturridge for Tadic and Aguero, but i need to take hit to free up funds..
    He has Costa injured so he has to transfer costa out for ?
    Gabriel nailed? Whats about pelle?

    Fab, Sturridge & Cresswell -> Aguero, Tadic, 4.2m woth a hit?
    Any ideas? i appreciate all help, thanks!

      You wanna take a hit to make your team more like his whilst chasing a 22p lead?

      Unfortunately the best way to catch him is to hope and pray aguero doesn't do well - which could happen. He also has to take out coutinho I think

    seen some talk of UTD potentially resting players for the fa cup final, I don't think they will because of two reasons

    1) Final is one week away so need gametime to stay sharp/fit
    2) they know that if they win and city lose (slim chance but who knows) they get champions league spot

      I'm keeping but do have issues elsewhere. If I didn't and as have a spare Arsenal spot might have looked at Giroud. But yes, don't see a need to get rid.
