The ScoutCast – Episode 251 – Domestic

Distracted and torn by domestic duties, my appearance on this latest ScoutCast episode is limited to a 30-minute introduction, followed by closing cameo.

That’s just enough time to join Jonty, Andy and Az in revisiting the Gameweek 31 scenario and chip strategies that dominate your community questions.

While I’m away, the boys also consider the Gameweek 31 traps to decide whether we’re in danger of being distracted by the mediocrity on offer. The fate of premium-priced defenders is also discussed before they preview Gameweek 28, as I crash back in to make my late contribution.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday 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.

    Twas was the summer of 95 and I was in love. A delightful little thing named Francis (we met at the opening of Marco Pierre White's spectacular new eatery in Mayfair, our eyes connected over a succulent foie gras medley). Anyway Franny was related to the Earl of Bath, not the most bespoke of titles i know but it was enough to entice this enraptured rhino. 3 kids later and a messy divorce behind us, our paths have crossed once again at this rather bijou boutique hotel in the Algarve. Now I'm not one to namedrop but you'll never guess who else is staying at this venue, my old hollywood pal Hugh Grant. To cut a long story short we have just spent a most agreeable evening sharing a bottle of their most expensive wine (I've had nicer but we made do) until the conversation turned to FPL. Turns out old Hugh has already used his free hit chip and is a bit bitter about it. So he'd like to know if any of you have any advice?
