The ScoutCast – Episode 216 – Confessional

I am a Fantasy Football manager, and I’m addicted to double Gameweeks. It’s a confession that the ScoutCast team are all too eager to admit in this latest ScoutCast episode.

Recorded prior to the confirmation of the first double Gameweek of the season, we were nonetheless correctly counting our chickens and allowing your multitude of community questions on Manchester City assets to steer the chatter.

Granville rejoined Jonty, Andy and myself to reinforce our investigation in Pep’s charges and to add his views to the heated Triple Captain debate surrounding Sergio Aguero. Yes, him again.

This 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 a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link or the first player below, or take in the full visual experience, pastry and all, via the second player below.

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

    For thoose TC Aguero, especially thoose taking -8 this week and potentially -4 next week. If Aguero fails to excite and get good returns what impact will tha have on your fpl season

    Grant
    Pieters Luiz Brunt
    Sterling Phillips Zaha Mane
    Ibra Kun Kane
    (Pickford Baines Fletcher Lenihan)

    No hits taken thus far, 0.1 ITB:

    a) Stick
    b) Luiz & Zaha > Robertson & Sane (-8)
    c) Luiz & Zaha > Robertson & Siggy (-8)

    I will be bringing Lukaku back next week and probably Siggy in anyway so maybe an 8 pointer isn't so crazy?
