The ScoutCast – Episode 144 – Squeaky

It’s “squeaky bum time” in the ScoutCast studio as Granville continues to chip away at my previously “unassailable” mini-league lead. My co-host stumbled through an injury-strewn Gameweek 12 with the honours, leaving me trailing and worrying that he’ll have clawed it all back by Christmas.

Pressing on, we flog the Hazard vs Fabregas debate once again and run the rule over a cast of budget strikers, desperately searching for the optimum way to spend the two transfers burning holes in our pockets.

We asses the week’s transfer bandwagons, look ahead to Gameweek 13 and take time out to tease Jonty on his Di Maria u-turn. We then combine “powers” to terrifying effect and prepare the ScoutCast XI for their Fantasy Football Scout Cup qualifying round, having flexed its muscles to the tune of a 59-point Gameweek 12. Intimidating stuff.

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

    Anyone thinking if Baines ruled out for Totenham he might get rested for Hull 4 days later so he is 100% for MCI ?

      I think he'll play as soon as he's declared fit. Hopefully, that's this weekend.

          Might get 1pt, whoever comes in needs to get 5 to break even. A hit for a QPR def seems a a little risky, but if you think Caulker will outscore Bertrand by 4, go for it!

      These next 4 fixtures are simply too good to pass up.
