The ScoutCast – Episode 204 – Flagging

Frustrated by the international hiatus and with Granville tied up in political red tape, Jonty and Andy tag along as we go hunting for our Fantasy Football mojo.

Andy dons his Zlatan mask in celebration of a belated brace, as we talk flags – for far too long – tackling the lively break “Hazard controversy” head on.

Premium strikers, price drop bargains, Christmas shopping and the baby imminent table all earn oxygen, as we desperately attempt to brush away the ring-rust and look ahead to Gameweek 12.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live on Wednesday via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    I can see that in the next few weeks I am going to have to make a decision on my fourth midfielder and whether to go for Theo. or downgrade to someone like Chadli to accomodate a slightly better defence (Alonso)

    Chasing a big lead in my ML - Defoe(c) a step too far, or better to just play it safe with Aguero and try to make up the points elsewhere?

      Odds are, you'll go further behind by doing that.

      What other options do you have to captain?

          Hmm, I'd say Cout but I reckon its 50/50 with him starting.

          Just go Aguero.

      It's not a bad shout imo. He's as likely as anyone to nick a couple this week. He'll not get a better home fixture all year.

    With Bellerin out for 4 weeks Jenkinson could be a decent punt for a few weeks - BOU, whm, STO are all favourable fixtures for cleanies. Wouldn't be surprised if they kept cleanie vs United either to be honest.

      Eriksen flatters to deceive. Walcott by far best pick if and it's a big if, he still gets decent gametime with giroud and ramsey now fit.
