The ScoutCast – Episode 242 – Bandwidth

The Scoutcast team are reduced to a three-man line-up as Andy’s Azpilicueta-like run of appearances comes to end. Shifting to a new rural setting, he goes AWOL having been hamstrung by his “new” medieval internet connection.

That leaves myself, Jonty and Az to represent, as we struggle to muster our own bandwidth to meet the demands of an unexpected double Gameweek, landing right in the middle of the frantic festive spell.

That topic – and the strategy involving ScoutCast favourite Harry Kane – dominates your community questions and this 90-minute episode.

Elsewhere, we try to justify shunning Arsenal assets, choose the optimum routes into Watford’s fixtures and the Allardyce’s Everton revolution, before deciding if it’s time to bail on Manchester City’s attack.

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

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

      Is moreno out longer?

    2. Home Late From Age
      • 8 Years

  7. Sweetpea
    • 11 Years

    Thinking of switching to Pickford...

  8. IRBOX ⚽

    Thoughts here please? Kun to Morata or save? 1FT, 0.3 ITB. Lingering at 250k so need a differential or two. Not overly keen on Morata due to possible suspension and inevitable rotation.

    Foster
    Otamendi Christensen Naughton
    Salah Hazard (c) Sterling Rich RLC
    Kane (c) Aguero

    Elliott Mee Moreno Niasse

    Klopp gives Moreno update...

    He’s now talking to Sky Sports and has dropped in an update on Moreno.

    It sounds as if he’s out for Sunday, at least.

    Courtois
    Mee/Daniels/Naughton (JJK/Mbebma)
    Silva/Salah/Hazard/Richarlison/RLC
    Morata/Kane (Niasse)

    If Kane looks slow in next two fixtures...

    1. Kane > Firmino & RLC > Ramsey
    2. Kane > Firmino & JJK > Ota

    2 free transfers this week does it make sense to get rid of kane and sane for morata and hazard?? I will be -0.3 in the bank so will need to take a 4 point hit but brady is injured so any midfielder for around 5 million??
