The ScoutCast – Episode 204 – Flagging

Morning all!

What da fudge is going on with Coutinho? Can someone link me something or explain to me why he is flagged? Has he picked up the Zika virus while in Brazil or something?

Nice one

So many injuries in my team means looks like Fletcher will start. Can do Fletcher to snodgrass for -4 though. Worth it? Or replace someone like lallana?

Good Morning All,

Who to play?

A- Pickford (playing Kone)
B- Cech

Who to get for Smith?

1- Evans
2- McAuley
3- Brunt

Play

A - Coutinho (possibly injured / rested / head fallen off, haircut conspiracy etc..)

B - Joe Allen (possibly moved to deeper role)

?

Foster
Fuchs, Evans, Pieters
Sanchez, Mane, Walcott, Allen
Aguero, Costa, Benteke

Pickford; Capoue, Amat, Holebas.

Anything worth a hit or good to go? 0.6m in the bank. Could go mental and do Sanchez > Hazard and Walcott > Firmino (-8) lol

B 3

Everyone that has Cout, just keep and play him. Everyone that doesn't, swerve for another week. Simple really

If Coutinho is missing from today's training pics then it's likely he will miss out against Southampton. But do I keep or sell? Can't afford Hazard and 0.1m off from doing Coutinho to Mane 🙁

Anyone being stubborn with Kun, Lukaku, Costa up front leaving no room for Hazard etc?

Half the teams looking like:

Holebas and Smith suspended, Amat not nailed.
What to do?
A) Take a hit or two to fix it now?
B) Sit tight and fix it next week?

Pickford Grant
Walker Coleman Smith Holebas Amat
Sanchez Hazard Firmino Gundogan Allen
Aguero Lukaku Austin

FT: 0, ITB: 0

"The players are back, Wilson & Surman have made good progress. I have to be mindful of hamstring injuries, I'll make a late call."

So what position do you think Allen will play this week?

Philippe Coutinho went for a precautionary scan yesterday [tight hamstring]. #LFC [via @GlennPrice94]

BD 'JK may not risk, could be bench'

Worth a hit to do Rashford to Lukaku and bench Allen?

Pickford
Alonso Stones Kelly
Haz Coutinho Firmino Walcott Allen
Aguero Austin

Jaku Rashford Holebas Amat.

Ladies, gentlemen, apologies for the length of the post, but the team's a bit of a mess and needs serious surgery.

Grant/Pickford
Holebas/Stones/Lovren/Amat/Love
Sanchez/Antonio/Firmino/Allen/Fletcher
Costa/Aguero/Lukaku

1.2 in the bank. 1 free transfer.

I want Antonio out and Coutinho in, but Stones and Lovren are the only two likely to start this weekend.

My thoughts are:
1) Conservative option: Love > Evans this week so I have three starting defenders.
2) Radical option 1: Sanchez/Antonio > Hazard/Coutinho, play all out attack, rebuild the defence long term (-4)
3) Radical option 2: Antonio/Lovren > Coutinho/Kaboul, play all out attack, rebuild the defence long term (-4)

Any ideas? I would be eternally grateful.

Janmaat or Cedric?

Can anybody give me the picture of coutinho in hospital ?

Maaaaan, I've got Wilson/Lallana/Coutinho/Holeba & Smith who either look highly unlikely to play or out. This week is going to be all about (C) points - or even more than usual anyway.

Philippe Coutinho went for a precautionary scan on a tight hamstring on Thursday, which meant he missed a light training session. #LFC

the wise thing to do with this Coutinho news is wait for training pics and not over think

Wenger would have seen the match already, but the time difference got the better of him. “No, I fell asleep,” he confessed. “But I have watched the goals and he looked very sharp.

“I will watch the game today. I know him so well, like all my players that I observe every day, so I will be able to see if he was playing with a restriction or not. But for the first goal he scored he ran from the halfway line and resists [a challenge]. If you are really injured with a hamstring you cannot do that. It is a very difficult one because I am sure he will come back saying he is alright.”

Bench coutinho for Allen (BOU) ?

Come on Alonso. Rise my pretty, rise

Pickford or Heaton?

Flag count:

I, remarkably, only have 2.

Folks, Kane or Costa?

I'm a little behind so Kane could be a nice differential but worried about his form/ fitness

What do we know about Lallana? Is he 100% ruled out?

In that case would you do Lallana to Walcott for -4? Just to get 11 mans playing.

Nyom nailed on?

Got 4.3 for a defender

I only have one flag and it's Hazard, who will be fine. What's all the fuss about?
