Reluctantly creeping back into the studio, tail protruding between my weary legs, I cut a forlorn figure for the return of the ScoutCast. Nevertheless, after a two-week break, I brave another half-hour of bile and banter with host Mark to bring the curtain down on my season to forget.

The Samaritans listening needn’t be concerned. I was smiling by the end, if only to see Mark almost on his knees begging me to rethink any plans of Fantasy Football retirement. The very idea.

In between my whining, we give the season a post-mortem, speculate on next season’s prices and assess the tussle at the top of the FPL with another Scout winner still a possibility.

Get this one big miffed of a Scoutcast via this link or use the convenient little player below to stream away.

    Too reliant on man utd in midfield. Nani/Valencia for yaya or silva? Or bring in Torres for Rooney and captain him? Certainly home to Blackburn gotta be goals and you'll need a differential as I think with aguero his side have a slight advantage. Hope this gives you some ideas.

      €60 million buyout clause. Might well be worth it.

          A. Madrid paid Porto €40 million for him. They'll certainly want more than that. 35 goals this season

        well that was a fairly safe bet 😀

        That's like captaining RvP in FPL or Messi in FCL

    what do you guys think of torres for next week??

    he has started last 5 in a row but drogba might get a run out at stamford bridge because of the uncertainity of his future and this may be his last home game and all.

    but blackburn at home is tempting....

      Untempted, but it could pay off big time if you did take the punt.

      Yeah man, good game, just need an F-ing goal for the blues!

      The weather has made me care slightly less that I couldn't get a ticket and don't have to walk the neccessary mission in the rain.
