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.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

      I'm needing to urgently start navigating BGW31 so what would you do?

      A. Ditch Son to afford Arnautovic to Walcott,
      B. Arnautovic to Shaqiri, save the other FT to get Walcott post-Arsenal?

      Ditching Son seems like the only way to be able to afford the upgrade to Walcott (unless I ditch Courtois, Otamendi or Jones).

      Hi all. 2FT and no idea what to do (will probably roll one). Players in caps are on my "get rid" list (either short or long term), and want to improve on my 30k rank:

      DDG
      Otamendi Dunk CHRISTENSEN (Mee OGBONNA)
      Salah Sterling LINGARD* DACOURE (RLC)
      Kane Aguero(c) Firminho

      *Will probably keep for HUD

      1. Christensen > Maguire/Monreal
      2. Ogbonna > Bauer/Chilwell

      Good morning, fine people of FFS

      I'm ditching Mahrez + Son for Sanchez + XXX

      Budget for XXX is max 5.6 spondoolies - I've had Kennedy as my 'ooh, that could be a good punt' for a while, but I probably haven't the tekkers. Ibe seems a bit more safe-punt,

      So: which mid should I get for 5.6 or under ?

        Plan is get as many non blanking players from terrible teams as I can stomach. Probably 7 or 8.
        Takes hits for some nice looking DGW players.
        Benchboost whenever I feel like it and triple captain kane when we wants the golden boot.
