The ScoutCast – Episode 200 – Milestone

So we made it to the double century.

It’s hard to believe that we’ve managed to get this far. It’s even more difficult to believe that folk are still listening.

Episode 200, is, quite fittingly, a rather memorable event.

It’s marked by two extraordinary stories, as Jason Puncheon takes residence in my home and an award-winning legend of British comedy respectfully puts me in my place.

Hearing is believing.

Around that brand of nonsense, we do our best to focus on the job at hand, as we address another bout of your community questions.

Once again we revisit the subject of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with Jonty and Andy still clinging to the fading Swede.

Spurs and Arsenal assets, Payet vs Antonio and the stat to rule them all also get discussed, before we indulge ourselves with a trip down memory lane, recalling our favourite ScoutCast moments.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

You can grab the old fashioned mp3 audio version via this link or the first player below, or watch me get riled via the Google Hangout version in the second player.

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

    Which captain?

    A) Firmino - turns up in big games and didn't play as much as others over the break.

    B) Ibra - 2 week rest and great stats, against a leaky defence

      While you're right about big games I never captain explosive players who are 50% sure to draw a blank. Ibra also a big game player but not exactly easy opposition... no other options?

      Both teams are likely to concede. For Liverpool, the scorer can be any of the front 4 so hard to make Firmino captain.
      For united, Ibra is the most likely goal scorer and also on penalties and some set pieces. Also, Liverpool are not the best defending headers and well Ibra is the best at that.

    Who to play...

    1) Foster (SPURS)
    2) Heaton (sot)

    cheers

    1. FantasyHero

      hmm hard call. Against a solid team pulis will set up his team to defend and wba are good when they only try to defend + save points.
      Heaton is more likely to get CS tho given sot might rest players for the Europa.

    If you woud have 2.0 mil in the bank and you want to invest 1.0 mil in defence who woud you pick:

    1.1 Foster to Cech
    1.2 Foster to Lloris
    1.3 Foster to Boruc and use 1.0 mil elsewhere

    2.1 McAulay to Smith/Pieters and use 1.0 mil elsewhere
    2.2 McAulay to Vertonghen
    2.3 Collins to Smith/Pieters and use 1.0 to elsewhere
    2.4 Collins to Vertonghen

    Team:
    Foster (Jakupovic)
    Coleman Koscielny Collins (Amat, McAulay)
    Walcott Firmino Son Snodgrass
    Lukaku Aguero Rashford
