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.

    a) Ditch Salah and have a midfield of Arnie, Dilva, Eriksen, Sterling & Gross
    b) Keep Salah and have a midfield of Salah, Kenedy, Eriksen, Sterling & Gross

    If I ditch Salah then there's a fair chance I don't get him back in 38 or if I do would be at the expense of Eriksen and for a hit

    Think I've made up my mind on Ramsey v Tadic.

    Ramsey's mins over the last 6 games have been 0 / 90 / 0 / 0 / 90 / 0.

    Tadic is guaranteed 180 mins, is on form and plays for a team that's kind of hitting form and has something to play for.

    Tadic for me I think unless someone talks me out of it...?

              I totally agree with that but don’t think his previous minutes have a bearing on that as arsenal were rotating heavily for Europa
