The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Six – Changes

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.

    I am quite excited as an arsenal fan by the signing of Monreal, disappointed that weren't able to bring in a central mid. Have to rely on diaby to stay fit and we know that is impossible.

    On an unrelated note, one for the fellow egg chasers out there, I am doing a fantasy rugby team for the six nations and can't think of any names. Suggestions would be much appreciated.

        I'm thinking Le Fondre based on making money from him but Anichebe is very difficult to ignore with some of Evertons fixtures...

      No, and by the end of the season I suspect no one will still know anything about him either.

      Spurs fan here, he looks like a young quality player imo, impressed every time hes came on but not given many opportunities because we of course have Bale and Lennon

        Thanks for reply, obviously hard for any winger to break into that team!

    So tempted to captain Michu or Fellaini this week.

    Already punted with Aguero last week and failed, tired of the boring (c) RVP every week though... swinging towards Fellaini massively

      Too risky I would say. Fellaini is sitting much deeper as of late. He needs to be up top to consider him as captain material. That said, he is in my team and if he doesn't score big this week...it's bye bye Maro!
