Restored to a five-strong squad, this week’s ScoutCast is still resonating from the shock of Man City’s seven-slice goal pie, served up by Pep at the expense of Stoke City.
That avalanche of goals and points fell into the laps of two of the ScoutCast crew, as Jonty and Andy bask in their post-Pep Wildcard success.
Others weren’t so fortunate, as we tell the tale of an unfortunate 11-point refresh and Az’s 32-point Gameweek misery that has since sparked his own Wildcard activity.
City dominate the community questions driving this 90-minute episode, while we also revisit the Harry Kane debate, fuelled by his latest Wembley misfire.

A quick note about penalties.
So far this season 11 penalties have been awarded - only 7 teams having earned at least one. At the current rate, only 52 (rounded down) would be awarded over the course of the season.
Since 06-07, at least 82 penalties have been awarded per season, with a record high of 106 awarded in the 06-07 season and again in 16-17.
Could the new diving rules be making players reluctant to "fish" for penalties? Did this mean it'll be even more of a struggle to find a new Josh King? Did this make decisions more or less clear cut when comparing players on pens with those who aren't?
