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 Walker will play 1 of the 2, KDB both. Probably higher ceiling too with the latter move.

      one city defender for me is helpful, interesting if danilo or laporte nailed or not.
      I'm in the same boat if cut or not salah (in my case for sanchez or ramsey, and repick him for GW38).

      i'm not sure willian is nailed for 2 fixtures.

      maybe cut morgan+willian for otamendi and midfielder.

    B) Eriksen, back to Salah for 38, but a more similar team to my rival

      young, similar clean sheet odds if not slightly better than city and he more of an attacking threat than fernandinho, would go gundo but with silva back i think he only gets one game if that. also it keeps options open for a 3rd city player for 38.
