One man’s personal battle to mastermind his beloved Fantasy Football team through extreme adversity steals the show in this week’s episode of the ScoutCast – and we’re not talking about Granville struggling with his BAFTA award-winning hangover.

Episode 99 has all the usual ingredients as we look back on Gamweek 28, rinse through the Gameweek 29 options, pop in to disturb the Professor and his Rate My Team computer, analyse the transfer ins and outs and, of course, give another community member the “Fully Jonty” treatment.

Jonty delivers a heart-warming and rather humbling account this week, emphasising just how far the dedicated Fantasy manager will go to steer his ship. Postponing your bedbath to play your Wildcard? You better believe it.

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

      Cattermole is now OOP, his price is rocketing (you could check this on FISO if it wasn't down). Get him quick.

    Van Persie and Pogrebnyak out, Suarez and Remy in. 4 point hit. Sound decent? It's all or nothing now.
