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.

      IMO RvP is nursing a small injury which is resulting in lower than average performances from him. give him another week or two and I think he'll be back to his goal scoring self. If I'm wrong, Suarez will get the most goals in the EPL and I'm down for that haha

      Fergies thrown the defense on its head again with apparently his first choice being Ferdinand and vidic. Many will disagree though I think Evans is a better version of a slowing Ferdinand

    Evening zona muerta.

    The winner between my matchup with Trout this weekend qualifies for the Europa group stages.

    I'm at home so I have +4 points; but he's already taken a hit so it's become a +8.

    He has 4 attackers this week. I have 6. We have similar defenders; the only difference is he has GJ. Looking good innit?

    Think I can get away with taking a hit? The lure of Benteke is strong. Or should I not risk it?

            That was @ the start of the season, i'm sure not many got him or Fellaini at their cheapest price.

            Bale,Mata and Walcott were already relatively expensive. Now combine this with the prices of RVP and Suarez(many got him after he crossed the 10m mark).

                I'd rather have the 2m at the start cuz it will come in handy later in the season.

                To answer that question, you obviously have to look at the long-term effects. Otherwise, this question would make no sense.

          It is actually, you just have to be decent at fpl and get in at the right time.
          You're not going to be able to afford much if you but RVP @ 14, bale at 10.5

          I mean now you can get a defense like:

          Wilson Clyne Pearce Turner Davies for only 16.5ish which is seriously good value

      I was all set on Coutinho this week but a few liverpool fans advised me against it.

      1) Tactically, Coutinho might not start this GW.
      2) Fitness is a concern, he only plays about 60 minutes.

      So monitor for maybe a week or 2 before jumping in. Plus, we dont expect Liv to mental vs. the spurs defence.

      Its either him, Dempsey or Holtby for that one spot. Having said that, with his performances in the last 2 games I would bet on him starting in the near future. However, I'd go Lennon - since they're both wide players now anyways (now that Bale has drifted inside)

    This is the time our performances start dropping. Really hoping AVB can change that. Just saw the highlights of yesterday's match against Inter - our attacking play was really quite fantastic.

      I think so, last night was a complete performance - not one dependent on Bale's magic like West Ham. If Spurs beat Liverpool (and I can see that happening) as long as they get some points against Chelsea I think they should be fine

        I was initially pleased with his signing, then sad that he took so much time to ease the new players in which resulted in us winning such few games. But after that we've doing quite well. Though I do think we've been quite lucky to win some games. But I guess that's football.

          Yeah, he some of his decisions early on were a bit baffling, but at least he had the conviction to commit to them even after his experience at Chelsea. All the best managers are strong minded and not afraid to make big decisions.

            But the way he's sorted that defense out is very commendable, rarely have I seen a team look so solid playing a line so high that Towelie would be out of place too

      Should go on to get top 4 from here. They are playing well and the squad is deeper than previous years when they just fell away. Its a shame they have strikers on such poor form cause city look like they could be there for the taking.
