The ScoutCast – Episode 243 – Counsel

The ScoutCast takes on the role of support group ahead of Gameweek 18, as the four-strong collective attempt to give advice on how to find motivation when the season begins to slide into the abyss.

I go AWOL, though Peter Kouwenberg comes in for a timely debut. The former Hall of Fame number one is one of those suffering an abject season, after an extraordinary run of three successive top 300 finishes. No, really.

For once, Jonty, Andy and Az are in the presence of Fantasy Premier League greatness, then, as the quartet give counsel on those struggling to soldier on after a season of “unnecessary roughness”.

Elsewhere they talk Harry Kane for once, as exit plans are abandoned, while questioning whether Eden Hazard can justify his selection in light of David Silva’s sudden goal spree.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Thursday evening. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

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

      DCL may be benched. I would save here and use 2FT next week
      Austin will play Hudd after this gw and few other options like getting WHU players before DGW

    Would you rather have Adrian or Masuaka?

    Can't decide which would be better and score more more points

      Hart will have some games so a bit risky. If you have other playing GK than probably ok.

      I say G2G... Taking a hit on defender doesn't seem right... You're hoping for a cleanie mostly in terms of defenders, so if you're lucky, you can end up with some bonus points as a profit of such change... Tha's all...

        I dont think Kane is gonna do anything against City. After that they are going against Burnley. I will for sure bring him back after that. (Considering WC for GW22)

    I got
    Salah for 9.0 now 10
    Morata for 10.1 now 10.7
    Kane for 12.4 now 12.9
    Sterling for 7.9 now 8.3
    Hazard for 10.5 now 10.9

    So ideally i cant get them back easily once transferred out.
    It all depends on the defender selection then..

    Anyone else really struggling against dead teams? One in my ML hasn't touched his team from gw1, and has 973 points. He didn't even have a single defender play midweek and got 66 points.

    I started off with 3 strong forwards, moved some money into defence, and am now on 3-5-2 with a killer midfield of:

    Hazard. Salah. Sterling. KDB. Coutinho.
