The ScoutCast – Episode 230 – Harried

Two Gameweeks down and already the dilemmas are building; the siren song of the Wildcard button is calling.

Failing big hitters are the major bone of contention as Jonty, Andy and Luke join me for the second ScoutCast of the season.

We give our verdicts on Spurs talisman Harry Kane, while also assessing the fall-out from Manchester City and, in particular, the shot-shy Kevin De Bruyne.

Driven by another round of community questions, we also chew over The Pogba vs Mkhitaryan debate and the big Bournemouth bail out, before previewing Gameweek 3.

Oh, and after his ten point return on the Aaron Mooy investment, we wrestle to prevent Jonty dropping his name into the conversation at every opportunity. I think I counted two. That’s a win for everyone involved.

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

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

    With Hegazi about to shift to 4.8, does it look like he's more BAP hungry than Dawson? Had Dawson the whole time and wondering if that 0.2 is worth a trade if there was a WC active

    Guys please help I've wildcarded and have one key decision left before I'm happy...

    A) Davies and Mooy
    B) Cedric and Richarlison

    Please help. Rest of my team is settled just can't decide whether to keep the spurs defender but Richarlison looks like a 6m Gabriel Jesus listed as a midfielder

    Need a bit of help until the international break

    0.4m ITB

    Begovic (Elliot)
    Daniels/Mee/Naughton/Suttner (Mbemba) will rotate for 3 at the back
    Salah/Alli/Mkit/Atsu (Carroll)
    Firminho/Lukaku/Kane

    I need to make a few improvements but not sure where to start

      Nice team,

      I would change Begovic for Foster and Daniels for Trippier.

      Even though Daniels is a goal threat I think there will be very few clean sheets for Bournemouth where as Trippier can get you points at both ends.

      And WBA defence looks to be back on track this season.

    Two quick questions, cheers for your replies:

    who to start:

    A - Atsu or Carroll
    B - Suttner or Daniels?

    Thanks all
