The ScoutCast – Episode 125 – Sicknote

It’s the ScoutCast vs Adversity. Granville drags himself out of his sick bed and we scramble into a makeshift studio, determined to return to the airwaves after our absence last week.

Apologies in advance for the echo, the faint background hiss and Granville’s Bonnie Tyler-like tones. If you can see your way past that little lot then you might just find some worth in this week’s episode as we grill the Gameweek 29 blank, sauté the Gameweek 31 doubles, boil down the Suarez vs Sturridge debate and lament our joint decision to choose Edin Dzeko from the lavish striker buffet, ignoring the sumptuous Sturridge in the process.

In between that particular call to Captain Hindsight, we rinse through the regulars, although Granville’s poorly state has us clean forget to credit the Scout League leaders or offer our thoughts on our new Fantasy Football squeeze – Ultimate Fantasy Premier League. Please accept this note from our respective Mum’s and the promise that we’ll return to full fitness next week.

    Realistically it should be 1o a-side, as Soldado should've walked for that elbow in the first half.

      It was Vert who elbowed him wasn't it?

        I'm talking about a separate incident that happened in the first half, where Soldado blatantly looked at and then elbowed the opposing player in the face by the touchline.

    REPOST (sorry in match)
    My team is currently -
    Boruc - Davies
    Azpi - Sagna - Williamson - McNaughton - Collins
    Hazard - Yaya - Puncheon - Zaha - Gnabry
    RVP - Studge - Suarez

    Which one of these sets of transfers -

    McNaughton and Gnabry >

    a) Ward and Bentaleb/ B Johnson

    b) Parr and K Richardson

    c) McNaughton and Gnabry and RVP > Ward, Matic/Adam/Snoddy and Lambert/Ade

    (Would get Aguero in for double)

    Thanks - choose the players where appropriate please

      Yup. See my post on the previous page. It's a shame because I didn't think Vert was like that. Having said that, it was a red card even without the overreaction.

          Already made my free transfer this week! It's too late. Dunno who he'd come in for. It'd only be worth it if he did something vs chelsea and not sure he will. I can play 11 this week, it's just the next game.
