As we close on a century of episodes it was time to freshen things up and bring new voices to accompany my drone and that of grumpy Granville. In this weeks’ episode, we draft in both “Professor” Chris Atkinson and his “Rate My Team” computer, plus long-time community member and contributor, Jonty, for a new ScoutCast regular.

Don’t worry, the usual format remains intact although, having recorded this just minutes after last night’s whistles, Granville escapes the usual mini-league grilling. Not surprisingly, there’s plenty of “Granny’s miffed” to endure, plus “All Aboard” and the weekend preview. That’s’ rounded off by the “Full Jonty” a brand new feature that will bring you, the community, into our weekly ramblings.

Have a listen then get involved by mailing jonty@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Hi guys.

    Would love your thoughts on my TFF team (10/30 season transfers remaining, no subs, fa cup games count )

    Currently sitting Begovic // Nastasic Zabaleta Mertesacker // Bale Michu Fellaini Cazorla // RVP Suarez Ba.

    Would you prefer:

    A. Fellaini + Ba > Mata + Lambert
    B. Fellaini + Ba > Mata + Walcott (thus going 352)
    C. Ba > Aguero

    Thanks!

          Fact is in Jan options are limited, the reality is it is a position that needs fixing, or they can wave goodbye now. He is the best of what is available, they bid for others also. People should remember that its the rich clubs that have inflated prices, point the finger there.

            I thought the only attraction was Chelsea and OOP. Why would anyone want a Villa defender?

      If Villa persist with the 3-5-2, I wonder if Bertrand will play slightly out of position at LWB.

      Attacking points beckon perhaps.

      No chance of being OOP, I'd imagine.

      Ah crap- Although I still have a slight amount of optimism that Villa can turn it around. Ron Vlaar is finally healthy and he's pretty rock solid. Their midfield is the only thing that is complete shiite
