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.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

    For the new crowd.

    With Pogba and Mane out for the forseeable future, many are searching for the ideal replacements. I'm sure you've heard of the usual Eriksen, Alli or Mkhitaryan being touted, but if you want to go another way - take a look at my article with the top 5 alternate Pogba/Mane replacements. One for the mavericks.

        Everyone play GK only for CS I guess. I have DDG but I am confuse who to play, then I am sure DDG have bigger chance for CS because Everton played Europe League and have to play away. That's tiring.

          A 4m GK you play for save points and to spend the money elsewhere not to expect a CS

          A 5.5 GK you are expecting consistent CS points but fewer if any saves

      The obvious advantage to 4 at the back is that if one does not play you just have a mid or forward that comes in.
