Limping out of the blocks like three flabby Dads at their kids’ Sports Day, Granville, Jonty and myself are in a sheepish mood for the first ScoutCast of the season.

This ScoutCast was recorded on Monday evening and went out live via our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to our channel to get updates on the next cast if you want to drop in live.

8 years, 9 months agoI have a dilemma. After hitting 56 points I'm eager to keep up the strong start. But I'm unsure who my starting XI should be. Any advice and formation would be appreciated.
Ruddy / Butland
Fonte / Kompany / Cresswell / Van Aanholt / Mings
Fabregas / Silva / Depay / Wijnaldum / Chadli
Kane / Pelle / Defoe
Should I stop Fabregas to the bench?
