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 think and hope so.

      The Saints forum thinks there will be no changes in the defense. If anything, they're a bit pissed with Hoedt which bodes well for Bednarek I guess.

        This is a good point actually, we can be 99% sure Kane does but yeah has to be a sliver of doubt with Jesus.

    Probably helped having Sanchez at Arsenal in previous seasons but I've never been so uninspired about playing Triple Captain. Even if I get it right I don't imagine I'll climb the rankings much and I'll have to take hits to do other transfers this week.

    It's between Kane and whichever City mid/attacker I decide to get in.
