The ScoutCast – Episode 130 – Hangout

The ScoutCast revolution is here. Not content with having to ensure our voices are up to scratch, Granville and myself decide to risk ridicule and stream our first live Google Hangout version, putting our hairlines and choice of décor on the line.

Having embarked on this brave new world, it also made sense to shake up the content so we welcome back Jonty to fire us a whole host of questions from the community and introduce some special guests along the way. We start this week with none other than the world’s top Fantasy Premier League manager – Luke Weston is in the house to rub shoulders with mediocrity and field our inquisition.

If you missed the live stream, you can catch the full “warts and all” hangout version via the player below or, if you’re a traditionalists, you can help yourself to the regular edited podcast version via this link or stream it via the first player.

PS: Apologies that we focus the camera on Granville and then myself – this is down to human error rather than our huge egos. With our ranks, we’d rather have been off camera.

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

    Anyone tempted by Lukaku to Aguero for a hit? I have Dzeko as well upfront.

      Did the move from Dzeko to Kun on Wed. Now have Suarez, Aguero and Lukaku. The latter does well in big games and some big games are coming up for Eve whereas Dzeko might get reduced game time due to Kun's return...

      Somebody mention here before few days something about possible rotation in Chelsea backline for weekend....
      Since Ivan is suspended from 1st leg semifinal CL and wont play against Atletico at Thursday, Azpi will take his place on right and Cole will be on the left.
      So what are chances Mourinho will try this already for weekend, it is logical for me, to give Cole some gametime and to prepare Azpi for right side since he has not played that for a long time... That means Ivan would be benched....
      Any comments?

          Or e might only give Cole a cameo at the end of the game as he is old enough and experienced enough to be able to slot in at left back..

        It doesn't seem likely that he would rest Ivan for effectively two games.
        He's just as likely to bench say terry and put ivanovic's in th middle and ensure that his talismanic cb will be ready for the first leg where a CS is vital.
        Whilst also giving cole and azpi pitch time in the right places.

      Thinking I should finally get rid of coleman after having him since GW1, taking into account Evertons remaining fixtures.

      My defence is currently: Cahill, Shaw, Coleman, Zab and Dawson(benched unless passed fit to play).

      Coleman > Mert/Sagna?
