The ScoutCast – Episode 150 – Costly

3,842 Comments
Share

Granville and I raise out bats to the grandstand as the 150 comes up for the ScoutCast. Fittingly, we choose to spend the milestone episode moaning about Diego Costa, for very different reasons.

Chelsea’s “agro magnet” dominates discussion on the eve of an expected three-match ban that will end my love affair with the grizzled goal-getter. Meanwhile, Granville is left smarting from Costa’s 16-point Gameweek 22 haul as he does his best to make light of the 59-point chasm that now separates our teams.

Elsewhere, we glide through the ScoutCast regulars, whilst taking time out to lament Kevin Mirallas and his latest bout of Baines-bullying that robbed us both of belated returns.

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

      I know Bellerin is a gamble, but YOLO

      Is there anything in downgrading Ivan and Oscar to something like Jones and ADM??

      Would love some feedback..

        Can't see any value in that myself, after this game week both teams have great fixtures but Chelsea are considerably better.

        Just watch for potential Oscar rotation and having 4 players missing a game week soon.

        Yes, I was actually thinking that could favor the flow of play in the midfield towards city, resulting in more chances. But yes a daunting task

      Depends on Ivanovic playing really if he's out who would play right back? Not zouma surely

    Rooney's fixtures look lovely but I'm determined to get rid with him playing so deep.. Right or wrong choice?

    It's for Ultimate FPL so only have this week or next to get rid and then I'm stuck for the season. Thinking Rooney -> Giroud this week..

    Having been unable to visit this fantastic sight for a week I am not confident in this team at all.

    Guzan
    ZABA, Baines, Terry (Hutton, Yun)
    SANCHEZ, di Maria, Hazard, Boyd (SIGGY)
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    1FT, 0ITB

    Capital players are either near drop or injured/suspended.

    A) Use WC
    B) Zaba -> Soton
    C) Siggy -> Puncheon
    D) Guzan -> Foster

    Sorry for the long post, but I need some advice - Thanks lads 😀

      I'd use the WC. Not a strong enough bench to cover Sanchez, Guzan not a good pick for this week.

    I find it interesting that there's such a spread of keeper ownership. DDG (22.8%) is out in front, presumably because he's the top keeper on the list (alphabetically ahead of Forster...) .. but Kane has just 1pt more and has 37% ownership..

    Any thoughts?

    I think it's a good thing, but it doesn't seem to follow the current trend of rapidly forming template teams...
