The ScoutCast – Episode 243 – Counsel

1,745 Comments
Share

The ScoutCast takes on the role of support group ahead of Gameweek 18, as the four-strong collective attempt to give advice on how to find motivation when the season begins to slide into the abyss.

I go AWOL, though Peter Kouwenberg comes in for a timely debut. The former Hall of Fame number one is one of those suffering an abject season, after an extraordinary run of three successive top 300 finishes. No, really.

For once, Jonty, Andy and Az are in the presence of Fantasy Premier League greatness, then, as the quartet give counsel on those struggling to soldier on after a season of “unnecessary roughness”.

Elsewhere they talk Harry Kane for once, as exit plans are abandoned, while questioning whether Eden Hazard can justify his selection in light of David Silva’s sudden goal spree.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Thursday evening. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

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

    G2g? Used FT to do Daniels to Jones. Next week thinking Alonso and Gross to Masuaku and Silva (-4pts).

    DDG
    Alonso - Otamendi - Jones - Mee - Marriapa
    Hazard (c) - Salah (vc) - Richarlison
    Kane - Morata

    Speroni - Gross - RLC - Niasse
