The ScoutCast – Episode 232 – Feisty

3,120 Comments

“This is how the ScoutCast was meant to be” exclaimed Granville.

He’s not wrong. If you’ve successfully avoided this brand of nonsense to this point, episode 232 provides a less than gentle introduction.

Just don’t expect me to take a beating every week.

That’s certainly what pans out over this lengthy landmark episode which finds me rolling the punches after my “ill-timed” Wildcard.

Granville and Jonty take turns to dish out the blows, while Andy and Az make uncomfortable spectators.

Once the scuffle dies down, we do our best to address the latest community questions, assessing strikers, mid-price midfielders and the latest wing-backs demanding our attention.

But, for once, that forms the undercard for the “big fight”.

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.

      3 strikers are must imo due to:
      - premium strikers firing well and poor show from budget strikers
      - budget mids are doing reasonably well

    foster - (elliot)
    Bailly - stephens - yoshida - trippier - (marriapa)
    salah - de bruyne - willian - redmond - (carrol)
    kane - lukaku - (solanke)

    decided i'm going to take a hit instead of wildcard, these are my moves so far:
    Yoshida > Dunk
    De bruyne - Erikson
    Redmond - Ritchie
    What do you think?

          I'd wildcard that tbh. 2 non starters on your bench, 4 big rotation risks and Redmond. Think a hit is just papering over the cracks.

    Really want to do Stephens to Davies, but need to free up 0.5 at cost of -4, any thoughts...

    Foster / Elliot
    Alonso / Kolasinac / Cedric / Stephens / Mbemba
    Salah / Mkhi / Willian / RLC / Carroll
    Kane / Lukaku / Chicharito

    I've thought about downgrading Willian and Chich, but don't who to?
    Other option I thought about was Lukaku to Jesus

    I've had a front 3 of Lukaku Kane and Firm since Week 1. I'm now waivering on kaku. I'm wondering whether moving him on to Jesus and using the money to upgrade Richie to a Ramsey or similar might be a better use of the money. Anyone got this front 3 and getting itchy fingers? Or am I over thinking as Lukaku keeps scoring?

    Care to take a glance at this? FT used, 0.7 itb

    Elliot (Foster)
    Jones Cedric Daniels (Naughton, Mariappa)
    Eriksen Salah Ritchie Willian* (RLC)
    Kane Lukaku Chicharito

    So Willian's pitch time is the worry here. Couple of options:

    A) Save, play Willian
    B) Save, play RLC (in case he's in contention to start)
    C) Willian -> Choupo-Moting/Brady -4 (sets up Daniels/Cedric -> Davies next week)
