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.

                  that looks ok, haven't looked at Tadic so not sure about him. I'd choose Ferd over Lingard as although he's not prolific, he's nailed in a city team scoring for fun with two good home fixtures, it's as good a chance as any to get among the points, and the rest of your team looks fine.

                        Should i go for it? -8 but removing kenny to any dgw already covers at least 4 points anyway

    Final choice for me boils down to Morgan or Dunk.

    Chose Morgan over Dunk last week which went well... Missed out on 20 bench pts overall last GW.

    Dunk's DGW fixtures though, hardly the exciting DGW player selection dilemma I was anticipating.

    Silva Sterling Lingard Kenedy Salah

    Switched Bavies in last minut before kickoff last week, hence shutting the door from salah->Eriksen this week so he stays. Did Austin to Ayew this week. Now I just need the perfect captain. Opinions?

        I se more Jesús here than Kane. Just a trend here I guess. Kane has got to be the more favoured overall. But this makes me wanna go Kane as here he seems to be the differential. As I said, that can't be right.

          I'm chasing in ML so I'm leaning towards KDB. His biggest hauls have all been at home this season.

            I have KDB and I'm considering trading for Sanchez. Have a feeling Yaya Toure may start the second game to give him a final send off at home

      Morgan out. Maybe Silva too. Salah if you want to go big.

        works $ wise but I still have to play Yedlin and Kenedy

        does it make sense to keep Salah to block rivals in mini league?

          Maybe it does. Do you know if they are transferring him out?

          I really don't have the correct answer, just an opinion. If it was me I would take the hit and go big. Good luck whatever you decide.

    Who would you rather play?

    A. Double Leicester Defense
    B. Chilwell/Morgan and Ibe/Barnes

    I know both options are crazy but I wanna bring differentials like Sanchez, Sane and Arnie in so can only replace one of the 4.
