The ScoutCast – Episode 117 – Hits

Not often acclaimed for his sage-like wisdom, Granville is enjoying his season in the sun and is firing advice, sympathy and jibes my way, in equal measure. With little to lose, I’ve even resorted to taking his guidance on board. After spending points on transfers on the Mancunian’s recommendation, I’m looking on my squad with optimistic eyes, although Granville is far from convinced that I made the “greatest hits”.

After raining on my revival parade, Granville joins me to talk Suarez, Oscar vs Hazard and Jim Bowen before we roll out the podcast regulars – “All Aboard”, the weekend preview and the usual dalliance with the ScoutCast team.

Spend your points frivolously via this link or join the transfer frenzy by streaming via the player below.

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

    Is Sturridge ➡ Suarez worth -4 pts hit this week ?

    tbh, my initial plan was to do it after the derby game as my FT, but now with Sturridge not being fully fit and not sure if he starts that game, I am having a second though.

    What do you think here, guys..?

        Good question Bubz. I think it dents Suarez' appeal as Studge takes so much heat from him and creates confusion.

    Fellas, can I get some ideas on my team? Cheers. Some ideas I have:

    A. Townsend > Sess [boring, not convinced about Sess]
    B. Lukaku > Benteke [exciting owning Benteke, MNF, good fixtures all the way until New Years]
    C. Fix the defense? Ward / Chester out to an Arsenal / WBA defender?
    D. Hold FT and get Aguero in next week for Lukaku (with Ozil / Oscar out)

    Mignolet / Lewis
    Terry / Turner / Chester / Coleman / Ward
    Townsend / Ward-Prowse / Oscar / Ramsey / Özil
    Lukaku / Suárez / Rooney

    1 FT, £1.5m in the bank

      Not convinced by Sess either. Bit early for Benteke I'd say... struggling for both form and fitness. Would hold Chester if you've had him this long! Should be back very soon. Not a great defence this week so maybe ship Ward or whichever Turner that is! Townsend would be next priority, for me. Good luck mate.

    RMT? Been faffing around and failing to use a FT all week, might just save it...

    Mignolet
    Johnson, Ridgewell, Baines
    Amalfitano, Arnautovic, Hazard, Ramsey
    Rooney, Suarez, Benteke

      How much £E$ have you got? Not sure about Benteke (see above). Could certainly hold this week.
      I have Shaw too but don't know if he'll survive the chop... awful fixtures for the next while. GL.
