The emotional side of Fantasy Football management cannot be underestimated.
As the Scoutcast’s discussion on mental health shows, many managers can struggle in their everyday life when a bad Gameweek strikes.
This episode features some powerful accounts of the impact being a Fantasy manager can have on the community’s lives, from sleepless nights to depression. Az, Joe and David also reveal how Fantasy Football has affected their emotional wellbeing over the years.
Recorded midway through a season-defining first Double Gameweek of 2018/19, the crew also look back on their decision to shun Manchester City’s hat-trick hero Sergio Aguero.
City assets feature again in our community questions section, as the crew assess likely rotation, especially around future Double Gameweeks.
Elsewhere, Chelsea’s new-look attack is also weighed up.
The crew then finish off with a detailed look at their Gameweek 26 transfer moves, captaincy decisions, differential picks and clean sheet prospects.

I think the 'mental health' angle is a smokescreen. That aspect of the podcast was just fellas seeking validation and self worth through fantasy football.
It was a playing violin stuff looking for sympathy and making sure people know others know how good of a player they are in thier 'career' and are just 'going through a rough patch'.
Pathetic!!!
I saw those tweets from Bowstring about wanting to quit and Mark from FSS tweeted him don't give up. You would swear it was a man on ledge and he was about to end his life. It was laughable stuff.
People need to really get a grip of themselves, I don't think any less of AZ or Jay Eggersdoff (for example) because they are not doing well this season. I don't know the lads personally at all. They are just people who give opinions about the game.
Is next weeks podcast going to have a segment on 'overall rank shamiing'
or a #captainblank-metoo campaign?
Cop on to yourselves lads.
