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.

Count the cost via this link, or pay your dues via the handy player below…

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

    have 4 doubts/outs this GW - Costa, Chadli, Sanchez, Ivanovic.

    I wanna keep the last 2 longterm, so gonna risk with keeping them. Though decided to take a hit (-4) to offload Costa & Chadli.

    Who do I go for:

    A. Sterling & Giroud
    B. Oscar & Giroud
    C. Mata & Giroud
    D. Cazorla & Giroud
    E. ADM & Pelle
    F. Silva & Pelle
