The ScoutCast – Episode 119 – Throaty

Feeling rougher than a Lee Cattermole tackle, I manage to patch myself up to share a microphone with Granville for another Podcast episode. Tonsils in tatters, the usual round of blows come my way as my co-host strolls into the mini-league distance with a comfortable three-figure lead.

We talk Rooney vs Aguero and rinse through the ScoutCast regulars, while I end up getting misty-eyed about Stephen Ireland – one of a select band of “soft spot” players who rise to the top of my watchlist at the first sign of a semblance of form. And I wonder why I’m struggling.

      I'm pretty sure Suarez is going no where should Liverpool make the Top 4. Making top 4 is the key. If we achieve our target we will be buying many more big names that suit our playing style in the summer.

      Heck is we do well in the next 4 games in December, I reckon we'll see a couple of top players being bought in January itself.

      Hey guys should I waste a -4 on my keeper to have Marshall and Speroni rotation of
      WBA, NEW, SOT/avl, SUN, NOR, WHM, STO, HUL(until the end of Jan) NOR, WBA, AVL, HUL, (until March if if I they go up in price and I decide to keep them)

      Or dont take the hit and endure
      Speronis che, avl, mci, tot until Jan WC?

      Hate taking hits on keepers but this seems to make sense even if it is only in the medium term.

                  Lower PPG with RVP.

                  Lukaku to give him a good run.

              Tough call between the first 2. Not Giroud though IMO

                I agree and that's the difficulty.

                Rooney playing moderate opposition; he and RvP seemed to assisting each other before RvP injury.

                Lukaku playing for in form team and cheaper which means not 4 point hit and opportunity to spend elsewhere next week.

              Agree he has been so poor (in FPL terms) at both ends of the pitch. I really thought he would be amazing in a mourinho team. Gotta keep for this week but out after that

                You know as soon as we both sell he will score and get clean sheets, but I just can't deal with the 2pts anymore.

                Chelsea can't defend at all

                  Yep you are right. He is always one I used to worry about (especially scoring) when I didn't own but at the moment he doesn't even look close to getting anything

              Vidic. He isn't nailed on and Utd are far too unreliable when it comes to defending.
