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.

        I have BB and TC still. Was considering TC this week and bench boost next week as my bench players aren’t great fixtures this week. Whereas next week it’s favourable fixtures

      Have the same dilemma & probably going for Tadic myself. Southampton are expected to score more goals looking at bookies odds. Also Tadic seems of have more involvement in Southampton’s goals than Ayew does for in Swansea’s goals.

    Anybody else reckon David Silva will play the next two fixtures, but miss out versus Southampton?

      Just a thought. Once I knew he was out of the West Ham game, after the deadline but before City played, I actually took the risk of bringing him in.

      He's in for my DGW anyway. Just looking forward as to who I lose to bring back Salah for GW38!

    So, Aaron Ramsey. What do people think? Does he become more of an option now that Arsenal are out? Now that he's more likely to play 37 matches.

    But the thing is, are Arsenal going to be on a downer now after that defeat. I'm not sure how they are going to respond.

      Not convinced Ramsey is gonna play anywhere near 180. For me an in form Tadic is more nailed and more pivotal to a team finding form with survival to play for. And he’s 0.6m cheaper.
