The ScoutCast – Episode 199 – Buttons

Jonty knows just what buttons to press.

When he slyly accuses me of adopting the template midfield, I’m visibly rattled. Leaping to defend myself, Jonty claims victory in this bout of Fantasy manager mind games and may have forced me into a hasty transfer I will come to regret.

Andy and Luke watch on, but it’s not long before they earn our attention, having pressed significant buttons of their own – both are post-Wildcard.

We analyse their Gameweeks, move to recite tales from the community and then take on another round of your questions, which finds us looking into yet another player relationship theory that will have Roberto Firmino owners rather concerned.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

You can grab the old fashioned mp3 audio version via this link or the first player below, or watch me get riled via the Google Hangout version in the second player.

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

    Problem is, I'll need to find 0.4 somewhere - any ideas of what I could do with the rest of my attack to find that money for -4?

        He could easily have the most boring 15 goal season from a midfielder ever.

      Mane and captain him. It's the transfer I've made this week.

        Why did you go Mane over Walcott

          Just feel he looks really dangerous and settled in the Pool team. I feel he may have some of his explosive games any time and I'm captaining him this week.

          Plus I have Sanchez and no other Pool so for me it made more sense.

      Wally seems to be the #2 scoring threat for ARS
      Studge,Firm,Couut,Marne,LaLa and boring James trade off as scoring threats

    Best defender for 4.9? I'm thinking Lovren.
