The ScoutCast – Episode 173 – Howler

3,132 Comments

Following on from Halloween, it’s time to revisit a horror show Gameweek from Granville.

Having gathered an array of green arrows in recent weeks, my ScoutCast co-host produced a pair of transfer howlers, watching on from behind the sofa as both Philippe Coutinho and Riyad Mahrez banged nails into his Gameweek coffin.

Jonty and I do our best to dwell on Granville’s misery for as long as possible, before attempting to cheer him up with similarly scary tales from the community in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, debating Leicester’s legs, United’s decline and whether we can actually tame the Fantasy Football troll that is Romelu Lukaku.

This episode of the ScoutCast was broadcast live on Tuesday evening (before the news on Hector Bellerin’s injury) via our YouTube channel.

You can catch the full un-edited version of this episode via the larger player below, or take in the “polished” audio effort via this link or the smaller player.

You can get wind of future episodes by subscribing to our YouTube channel.

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

            I made such a rookie error last night of not shipping Huth because I thought, having bought at 4.5, I'd still have an SP of 4.4 if he went for 4.3. I've been playing this game properly for 4 bloody years.

      If you can do him in three transfers I wouldn't waste my wc planning for one player. That's just me though.

      I am within three of him. Will plan two weeks out and have 2 FT one week and then do it the next week.
