The ScoutCast – Episode 260 – Pacesetter

The ScoutCast crew are joined by the current Fantasy Premier League pacesetter in this latest episode, as world number one Bharat Dhody drops by.

With ice flowing through his veins, Bharat risks the curse that has seen us dent the title tilt for previous top-ranked managers to join myself, Jonty, Andy and Az for a ScoutCast season highlight.

Inevitably, the four of us are a little star-struck, but in between our desperate attempts to convince Bharat to keep his cards close to his chest, we put his season and current mindset under scrutiny.

Elsewhere, your community questions lead us by the hand as we assess Harry Kane’s updated application for the Triple Captain role, review the merits of a Mohamed Salah exit plan and scratch around for Double Gameweek differentials.

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.

          2 goals vs 1 (+600 minutes for Mawson). Wouldnt call it much bigger, if any from what Ive been watching them this season. Cedric more nailed (Stephens lurking) and might play in the WB role.

          I guess that the most will do a - 8 or a - 12. This is only a suggestion. You must not do it. But probably I will do it. Barnes has only one game. Jordan Ayew has two not difficult games (Bournemouth and Southampton). Many here say that Conte do not like Willian and he will get only a few minutes like the last two games. De Bruyne has two great home fixtures (Huddersfield and Brighton).

            The way I see it tadic will play both (min 4 points), willian to be subbed on in both 2 points. So it's a 2 point hit for probably 110 mins more playing time
