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.

        This week:

        Next week:
        Lingard & Abraham ---> Walcott & Ayew

        Would the above be mad??? Would love other opinions/ feedback..

      I did this a few weeks ago and I think it was appreciated.

      Let’s throw stats to the wayside - here is my intuition into this week’s captaincy.

      Sanchez: Sanchez at MU is an unknown beast - a beast nevertheless. I have seen Huddersfield keep their defensive shape and focus against bigger teams, however I think the Red Devils will have a walk in the park this time around. A 2-0 loss to spurs? What would motivate Sanchez more than to give his own stamp of approval on his massive salary than a spectacular performance against a weak side? I can’t name anything; perhaps outside of a friendly display of affection from Fabregas after a hasty tackle
