The ScoutCast – Episode 180 – Whistle

3,496 Comments
Share

Just minutes after the final whistle blew on Gameweek 21, Jonty, Andy and myself braved the airwaves to pick the bones out of our meagre midweek tallies.

Brought back down to earth by a decidedly lacklustre floodlit affair, we rouse ourselves to debate the Aguero armband, the rapidly increasing speed of the Payet bandwagon and the theories behind the stuttering United backline.

We even make our dedication to the departed David Bowie, before quickly ushering out our disappointment of the Gameweek just past by previewing the one that lies ahead.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first broadcast via our YouTube channel on Wednesday evening.

You can take in the unfettered version via the larger player below. Or, if you prefer the single sense audio experience, you’ll need this link or the small player.

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

      Who else is in your midfield? I also have KDB and this weekend just seems madness to dump him, I'm giving him one more chance.

        I know, but the template just doesn''t seem to be working for me. Other mids are Ozil, Willian, Mahrez and Alli.

          I have exactly the same midfield as you. Was thinking of dropping Willian for him.

          In a similar quandary.

        Even though KDB has blanked in 8 of the last 10, us owners still hold faith based on the 2 games that he did fire in. I think Palace at home is my final chance for him unless he delivers.

      The fact that you keep asking, despite all advice being A, means it's clear that you want to do B, so I think you should follow your instinct and do B (though I think it's the wrong call personally).

    Thinking Willian to Payet, despite Willian's good form. Sound good? Here's my team at present - 2.2 ITB. Last chances for KDB and Igahlo I think too.

    Butland, Ruddy
    Ivanovic, Huth, Toby, Francis, Moreno
    KDB, Ozil, Mahrez, Alli, Willian
    Kane, Lukaku, Igahlo

    Any help would be great. Cheers.

    Huge conundrum here for me. I really feel i dodged a bullet midweek with no Kun and I will get punished this week.

    I have 1 FT and the team is:

    Butland Myhill
    Smalling Bellerin Toby Wolschied Moreno
    KDB Payet Ozil Alli Mahrez
    Ighalo Lukaku Kane

    I am thinking:

    a.) Smalling -> Simpson and Kane -> Kun
    b.) KDB -> Arny and Ighlao -> Kun
    c) Save FT

    Which route should I go and should I take a hit to do it this week?
