The ScoutCast – Episode 248 – Yogic

Jonty may just have stumbled on the perfect strategy with his newfound flexibility. Reserving millions in the bank, his squad is set up to react to the seismic shifts taking place, as Fantasy managers consider new players and formations.

Andy and an angry old-filled Az join me in forming the ScoutCast quartet, as we bounce off another round of community questions inspired by the changing landscape.

An appraisal of the 3-4-3, a full review of the deadline day arrivals and discussion on defensive surgery provide the spine of the show, before we embark on a Gameweek preview featuring an all-star cast of new Fantasy Island risks.

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.

      Same situation as you. I can do Mahrez + Quaner > Walcott + Wilson for -4

      90 or 0mins for me to be honest. He wont be on the bench and only play a few mins

        Sanchez could become a Spurs mid for their nice fixtures and Lingard can become a different £8m mid or similar

      Depends on what is your captain if no Sanchez. I’m in a similar situation but have Aguero, so Sanchez captain is not that necesary.

      He is an exciting diff though!

      sanchez option.
      Can afford to go a couple of weeks with these fixtures to see how it pans out.
      Lingard's minutes are going to be reduced as Sanchez is "unsubbable" (FPL word)

      Walcott option - Everton's atacking stats are still poor just Walcott was efficient this week. If Everton open up a bit then he may become more of an option. also will Coleman inject some energy into Everton attack?

    Is captaining Pogba madness?

    Other options are Vardy, Sterling, Salah or Kane
