The ScoutCast – Episode 156 – Champ

Myself, Granville and Jonty welcomed Fantasy Premier League royalty for this week’s episode, as reigning champion, Tom Fenley, made his belated ScoutCast debut.

Tom joined us to talk us through his difficult post-championship season, whilst lending his informed view the situation facing the current Fantasy Football Scout league leader, and FPL number one, Simon March, aka “Dufflinks”.

Of course, we were also glad to have Tom’s expertise on board to help us grapple with the latest round of topics fed to us by the community. Amongst the many issues tackled, we attempt to explain the withering form of Sergio Aguero, discussing the merits or otherwise of an Argentine exit strategy.

This episode was recorded on Tuesday evening with a live Hangout broadcast. If you missed that and you really want to catch up on the latest beard developments (Tom abstains from this), you can view the Hangout in full via the movie below.

If you prefer to have your ScoutCast slip down that little bit easier, you’ll be wanting the rather more slick and refined audio version via this link or the first player below.

Be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel if you want to be kept informed of future live ScoutCasts.

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

      I recall a season or two ago some of us temporarily gained access to Stoke's FPL league until Begovic kicked us out. Probably Charlie Adam.

        No it was real. Peter crouch was in it and I noticed he was also in a pub ml that was just around the corner from where I used to live. He's from Ealing, West London. I think Parms team name might have given it away....Stoke are shite 🙂 something like that.

    I think that people waiting on Jose's press conference before deciding on whether to get Remy are probably going to be disappointed. He is likely to give us vague information at best and plain misleading at worst.

    SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 31 RESULTS

    Right ladies and gents! After my disaster of a gameweek, I've finally braved Fantasy Football again to deliver this GW's results;

    1st - IanP1970 (94pts)
    2nd - Pundit of Punts (89pts)
    3rd - Wiz (87pts)

    with FFS Scout and Krzys scoring closely on 85pts! Second week running in the top 3 for Wiz as well, so a massive well done - making some major movements on the table!

    No bonus this week as the FFS Scout Picks + Differentials scored well over 100+ points combined!

    With all that, still no movement at the top but Wiz is very quickly threatening to upset the hierarchy moving to himself to a clear 4th. Here's the top again;

    1st - FFS Scout (19pts)
    2nd - Mookie (16pts)
    3rd - Sticky Mockwell (12pts)

    Onto the next gameweek!

    I'd love it if Mourinho brings some solid info to the table regarding Costa. Wouldn't mind Remy being a solid option if I knew for sure Costa was out for a while. Conversely, if Costa was in line to start against Arsenal he'd be right back on the radar for the DGW.

          I agree with that although I am more confident than you about Remy and much more pessimistic (realistic?) about Costa.

          Remy is a very easy (and sensible) pick for those with Austin or Benteke. Not so easy for those with the three you mention. You have an awkward combination to handle at the moment without a wildcard.

          I guess the best you can do is to nudge your team towards GW34 with something like Naughton to Schlupp or Morgan now, Bellerin to Moreno next week and then arrive after GW33 with 2 FTs.

          Maybe something like Aguero to Sturridge and Eriksen to Fabregas would then work. And you'd be clearer by then about the Costa/Remy situation and would have the alternative of Costa/Remy and a Liverpool midfielder.

          It's perhaps not ideal but would give you 7 DGW players which is the most you can get without a hit.

            Yeah I've looked at such possibilities with even an idea of getting Terry. I agree that a save Naughton to a Leicester defender is probably a good play right now.

      Austin has Chelsea then a blank so he should go. Many are putting faith in Remy (but that comes with an element of risk). Otherwise Murray and Gomis are handy options.

    A: Keep, hope he starts next 2 Gameweeks or I will get minimal points from him or Boyd (off bench)
    B: Drop him for a -4 hit this week for a LIV Midfielder (in preparation for the double)

    If he starts both or even one game then A is fine. If not B would be more favourable?
