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.

    How Ramsey looked like tonight? Worth doing Willian to him for a hit?

    People advising here to cap jesus if chasing, Kane if leading.
    This is in my opinion against game theory principals, especially if you have one main rival chasing you - if he is behind he is likely to take the less "safe" choose and go jesus, and your goal is to block him by doing the same.

    In short - jesus if you are ahead of one main rival, Kane if you are chasing a smart opponent who knows his stuff, jesus if you are chasing "regular" opponent.

        Morgan is a huge risk to only play 1/2 with Dragovic there. He also is @ Tottenham in gw38 so you likely will have to bench him then, any reason to keep other than thinking he will start both? I think he could end up playing 1 if that, if Dragovic keeps a clean sheet in the first match (West Ham) he may earn a start v Arsenal as well and Morgan could be shut out... all Leicester fans on Twitter are calling for Dragovic, and there is pressure mounting on Puel but maybe he won't give in.

      This has been my dilemma all week. I have used my 2 FTs to bring in Sterling + Jesus but am still left with both.

      My defense is woeful (GW32 WC picked Christensen over Smalling - loss of 20-30 points in that decision alone) but it would require a -4 or -8 to get rid of one or both.

      Christensen* - Dunk** - Morgan*** - (Lowton - Tarkowski)

      *Cahill is first choice but could feature in the easy one v HUD at home as he is fit, aiming for spot w/ Denmark in WC, and CHE could be out of Top 4 by then.
      **Plays ManU/ManCity but will start both - should concede in both, only hope is goal/assist or 2 points.
      ***Rotation risk w/ Dragovic lurking

      I have 1M in the bank - enough for Christensen -> Vertonghen (-4) or Christensen AND Morgan -> Smalling and Danilo (-8). Don't know if it will make up the points but could be more exciting.
