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.

    Pogba injured throws my team out this week...

    Any changes?

    DDG - (Elliot)
    Alonso - Kolasinac - Cedric - Davies - (Mbemba)
    Ince - Carrol - Eriksen - (Pogba - RLC)
    Kane(c) - Chich - Firmino

    Already on a -4 with 2.0 in the bank.

    Cheers.

      I'd expect Alli or eriksen to get 4 more points than kolasinac. Would do Pogba 》 one of them for another hit. Doesn't matter about the previous -4

          The guy is giving you troll advice. Ignore Shaqiri. Better off just transferring Pogba to Mkhi or David Silva. And change Redmond to Jese or Choupo if you really want a Stoke player. Don't get rid of Eriksen or Firm

            I realized it once you told me in the comment above. I was just trolling him back. Thanks for the feedback. I don't want City cover (Pep gives headaches) and I don't have enough funds to swap to Mkhi, so I'll have to invent something else. I"ll be upgrading Redmond to a 9.0 mid or less soon as Bananose writes below. Hate trolls. 😉

          Why all that maneuvering? I'd much rather have Firmino than Coutinho at this point, and Mahrez could easily match Vardy. So just do Choupo, and then Redmond to Mahrez. Keep Firmino.

                  that would help long term, but Iwobi and Fraser are bigger concerns in the short term.

      Not a fan of the weak defence but that's the sacrifice of owning both Kane & Kaku!

    Alonso / Valencia / Davies / Bertrand
    Eriksen / Atsu / Mooy
    Lukaku / Lacazette / Chicarito

        Yeah, that's the plan, just have to take the price drop on the chin if he drops again over the weekend! Cheers & GL!

          he'll go red flagged and drop slower so you should be ok. Salah will be in reach as you have no liverpool. good luck
          also valencia to kola will free up another 0.5

      Surely there's a pretty good chance of a Pogba replacement (8-9m bracket) scoring at least 4 more points than Mooy, Atsu, and Bertrand.
