The ScoutCast – Episode 201 – Penalty

20 October 2016 1016 comments

The cruel mistress that is Fantasy Premier League.

Jonty has fallen a victim, paying the penalty for a few ill-judged decisions, compounded by a huge slice of bad luck as both Christian Benteke and his captain Sergio Aguero missed penalties in a single Gameweek.

He just can’t buy a break right now, which makes it all the more impressive that Jonty should brave another ScoutCast and risk a bruising hour in my company, along with Andy and Granville.

We make sure we conduct a full post-mortem on Jonty’s miserable plight, before delving into similar tales from the community in “Rough with the Smooth”.

Then it’s on to your questions as we consign Hull City to whipping boy status, pry into Pep’s potentially failing relationship with Aguero and dare to cast doubt on the Joe Allen bandwagon.

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.

If you’re nostalgic for the old formats, you can acquire the traditional 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.

    2 weeks back I avoided bringing in Kos and last week delayed bringing in Holebas :/

    Quick one. Only one FT but Baines -> Pieters and Snoddy --> Walcott can result in the following front 8:

    Firmino-Sterling-Sanchez-Walcott

    Lukaku-Kun-Wilson/Austin

    Worth a -4 according to you?

          Keep Sterling. He looks a good shout for the season and Antonio is good option for this week.

          If you feel Wally and Allen will outscore Antonio and Capoue by 4 points, go for it. I think they might.

      Not sure I like any of them. Anto deserves one last shot at home to SUN this week ruling A out, unless you have 2 non-starting 4th and 5th defs I wouldn't do C for a hit, and I would prefer Wally but surely you have more pressing issues?over Sterling
