The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Four – Santigold

Out of his pajamas and back in the studio, Granville and I reconvene after another dull international break to resume ScoutCast duties.

Arsenal’s new playmaker dominates, with the pair of us coveting Santi Cazorla’s charms and competing for his affections, whilst, in the back of our minds, wondering if we’re being taken in.

Robin Van Persie also gets some oxygen – don’t worry, that’s not oxygen treatment – he’s just the subject of this week’s discussion as we chew the fat on the “essential” debate that appears to rage on as the Gamweek’s roll by. The regulars all find their place amongst the merriment, as heat is turned up on the mini-league and mini-game struggle between myself and Mancunian magic man.

      I am so gonna regret sticking my neck out there 😆 I just think West Ham are particularly stubborn at home and will be stoked up to fight potential relegation battlers. 5 in the middle, choke the game. Liverpool on the other hand should really tear into Reading.
      
      Still given Lambert is Southampton's primary goal threat maybe I should backtrack a bit and say they're about equal.

    BTW can hardly find a better person to ask about this, do you see great returns for Lambert in next few? I don't watch Saints often enough to know exactly how involved he is but I got him in on the simple logic that I believed he'd be their main goalscorer and they score lots of goals. Have had two games without points from him. Still sound?

      He's involved in everything. I'm not just being biased, why Adkins subbed him off against Fulham is anyone's guess. Keep the faith. Penalty duties nailed on and shooting free kicks.

I understand that Cazorla is being talked about a lot but why does noone seem to see the risk of him not playing? After starting Spain's first game, and playing around 75 minutes in the second game, Wenger must be considering to rest him. And add to that that Arsenal have a midweek champions league game whereas the game this weekend is a relatively easier game where Wenger can afford to rest Cazorla. Anyone have any thoughts?

    If i was a betting man, i'd bet that he wouldnt start this game (assuming i have good odds of course), but really are people just ignoring it because they all have him and are too afraid of the prospect of him not playing?

    Based on nothing but hope.
    
    But seriously, can't see Wenger risking not starting him. May be removed after an hour when they've gone 5-0 up.

      Well podolski, gervinho, giroud are all fresh after the international break and with a game vs norwich, wouldnt you take that opportunity to rest him? He might be a beast (playing all 38 league games for Malaga last year) but with champs league and more games for Spain, im personally too scared to sub him in so im gonna hold off and hope for the best. Hopefully he wont start or he does nothing before getting subbed out early

    Yer It's like I did 60 hours carrying 8ft Electrical containment up and down stairs all week. And then had to bolt it all to a concrete roof. Then did 30 hours at the weekend running SWA cables through same (above) traywork.
    
    Must ask my boss if I could possibly have next work week off.

    Well i could see Wenger playing with Chamberlain, Giroud, Podolski and Gervinho. Would be closer to a 4-3-3 with Arteta Chamberlain as mids and Podolski Gervinho wingers with Giroud in the center.

Suarez has had more shots and more touches in the penalty area than the whole Sunderland team.

Baines has created more chances than Sunderland.

      He is truly a unique player. In a league of his own in terms of shots and goal threat. His conversion rate however remains a controversial issue. I like owning explosive players though, so he made the cut (and rewarded me with 22pts in two gameweeks)

        I don't like the bandwagon though. Reminds me of one a couple of years ago. Player had consistently failed to perform for a couple of years fpl wise, started a season well and suddenly was pick of the bunch until people realised that every now and then a blind chicken finds a piece of corn.
