The ScoutCast – Episode 228 – Countdown

7,234 Comments
Share

The final countdown has begun with the new season kick-off now less than 24-hours away.

Earlier the week the ScoutCast grew gathered as the clock ticked down, with Jonty, Andy and Luke joining myself to tackle a raft of perfectly targeted questions from you – the community.

Each of us take turns to reveal our current line-ups, while the collection of queries allowed us to put each of the four positions under the microscope. On occasions, we even broke from the ScoutCast tradition to provide some definitive answers.

Pre-season gremlins struck as I dropped out in full flow on Paul Pogba, but I managed to return to steer the ship towards its final destination – the first weekend preview of the new campaign.

It’s good to be back.

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.

        What's the thinking behind Carroll? More chance of playing and a decent run of games soon? And Pogba is a bit of a punt, but I've got a bit of a gut feeling about him, especially with the arrival of Matic potentially freeing him up

          He looked horrid against Madrid. TC is a lot more nailed than RLC, on some set pieces with Sigy gone too. A lot more upside than RLC basically who also has a higher ownership which means he might lose value if he doesnt play.

            All very sound points. Will take the TC advice on board, especially when he's my 5th mid. And I'll give Pog a week or two... see how they look in the PL and go from there!
