The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Five – Rush

Rush. The best form of goalkeepers for the playground. A long-haired Canadian prog-rock outfit. A mustachioed goal sniffer and, sadly, a description of how Granville and myself had to approach this latest episode of the podcast.

With our studio slot limited, we had to skinny things up and turn this one out double-time. Nonetheless, in 26-minutes, we touched on all the regulars, whilst scattering the silence in between with the usual sniping between the pair of us. It makes you wonder what we waste the other twenty minutes on every week.

Not to worry. Enjoy what you can of this little taster and look ahead to next week’s full-fat return, when we’re planning a new feature and a new voice.

      I somehow manage to go out to a dead team every year, usually in the first round.

      I haven't seen anyone questioning the Southampton-Everton game so far, but isn't that one going to be at risk of snow as well. Not there myself, but seems to fall in the catchment area of where the snow has been.

        The risk is somewhat mitigated by the game being a few days away.

      So even if snow cancels both keepers, it's not worth a hit to bring in a DGW GK.

        Not sure about that actually......... it would be quite a defensive move to do that, and a tool like the projections on here would expect both Sceseney and Jaask to get you more than 4 points this week.

        Could gain 4 or more points, unlikely to lose more than 2.

          I like that way of thinking.

          If Stoke game called off I might do my dead keeper to Jussi.

          Hmm. I suppose the least you get out of two matches is 3, which is -1, so anything better than that is at least break-even. My concern is that for minimum impact you just saddled yourself with a keeper that was not in your plans. Much different if you plan to WC after.

            I know but I don't see it as too much trouble. If *that* many games get postponed and you WC you're gonna end up with all players from the same team, most of which you probably won't want after next week, and if only a few are cancelled those who WC'd will be fine.

              But your ideal wildcard team may only have 9 play for example. Would you tinker with it to get 11 on the field or just leave it. Seems like it'll be a massive head ache to have and generally a waste of the WC
