The ScoutCast – Episode 237 – Catnap

Pep sunk his teeth into our Gameweeks, while an old moggy took a chunk out of my partner’s arm, depriving me of my appearance on this week’s ScoutCast. I’m not sure which was more painful.

At the mercy of the local A&E, Jonty, Andy and Az became my other emergency service as they stepped up on this latest episode.

Inevitably, Guardiola’s Man City teamsheet dominates your questions and the ensuing chatter. Elsewhere the boys re-appraise Kane after his Wembley haul, revisit Liverpool with their fixtures about to swing and consider whether the heavy-hitting midfielders are poised for a renaissance ahead of Gameweek 10.

As far as I know, I’ve edited out all the “pussy” jokes.

    One thing that's good about this Kane news, looks like the whole FFS community is out in full force and buzzing. That's actually why I play this silly game.

    On a WC and have Kane Aguero Morata frontline. My PP of Kane was 12.4m. Worth a hold or get rid for Lacazette maybe and leave funds for a transfer back when he's fit?

          Ya it's the 0.3m that worries me. Was hopeful that Kane would score this week but mostly was going to be a 2 pointer anyway, wanting him back next week for his plum home fixture v CP

      My SV is 12.6, also on WC, with Jesus and Morata, I'm prepared to lose 0.1m to have a playing striker this week.

      Kane has already gone from +97% to +70% on fplstats

    I don't think it's not too bad if Kane is ruled out against United. What could make the situation problematic is that we can't be sure at this stage whether he is out for Palace or even longer. Forced to keep until more news on his comeback

      Exactly.
      Luckily he has a big CL game midweek.
      If he misses that safe to assume he'll miss palace too.

        He could still play vs CPL if he misses the midweek game. He'll play when he's ready, they won't risk him Madrid or not. It's not a cup final.

          He could yes. I feel personally if he's not fit enough for Madrid, he's unlikely to be fit for Palace.

          It's a lot clearer if he is fit to play Madrid of course.

      Hamstring is typically between one week - three weeks, depending on severity.

      Pogba has blown that theory a little bit, but typically I'd say that's about right.

        News described it as "minor strain". If that's ttrue I guess the worst case is that he'll miss the Palace match. If it's worse than minor or even a tear (if I get these terms correctly in english) it could be between 3-6 weeks.

          Hamstring strain, as reported, 1-3 weeks.

    I reckon the points i'll earn for any striker replacing Kane would be equal to just keeping him on bench. Too many negative transfer, also f's up my other transfer plans.

    I'll just stick with him for now. I'm oddly not worried about this.

      Monreal probably better just for this week, Otamendi doesn't have a bad fixture though and is a good long term pick. A.

        I'm not sure about the blank GW - scores are typically low because of a lack of teams playing and fewer top assets. This week offers the likes of Sanchez, Salah, and Coutinho ahead of plum home ties.

        Kane's injury is likely a short one - Poch is talking about him being ready for Real - I expect he will be ready for Palace. It's clearly a grade 1 injury.
