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.

    Gtg after a hit?
    Will probably replace Kenny next week and hope Pope keeps his place.
    No ideas who to C or VC. Might go Wilson punt as below.

    Pope

    Alonso Otamendi Dunk

    Salah Sterling(VC) KDB Walcott

    Kane Firminio Wilson(C)

    Pereira Ogbonna A.King Kenny

        Thanks Salah probably the safe option.
        Probably the hardest week so far to pick a captain I think.

        Thanks. My gut says that after watching him last game.

        I can't understand how gets so many shots and assists when 95% of time he plays so deep. Probably the fact he is sheer class.

    In answer to an enquiry last page about Ibe.
    He is a great player for a 5th mid BUT be careful. In my current set up he will never be in the first 11 and the few point 0.1’s I could have saved with him being some 4.5/.4/.2 has now meant I can’t get Mawson for Kenny next week.
    See what you can do with the few 0.1s

      Or you could look at it like this. I got ibe four weeks ago, got a goal and two assists. The extra 0.3 I saved in not going Allen from stoke allowed me to get kun with 0.1 spare. If your not going to play him I don't know why you spent the extra. Good luck

    I probably have more captaincy options than most this gw, who would you captain from these?
    A. Sanchez
    B. Hazard
    C. KDB

    Considering how bad HUD seem to be atm, has to be a Sanchez(C) punt right, or is owning him enough atm?
