The ScoutCast – Episode 61 – Double Dutch

Just like the Dutch duo of Van der Vaart and Van Persie, Mark and I keep on delivering, week in week out. With over 60 episodes under our belts, we’ve almost got the hang of it, the banter now nearing the levels of Compo, Foggy and Clegg. Another 300 episodes should crack it.

Like our Sunday night sitcom anti heroes, we once again we deliver the regular formula. A mini-league round-up, a miffed from me, the “all aboard” sift through the bandwagons all leading into our weekend preview. Then we both roll down a hill in a bath tub.

It’s all here. Apart from the last bit about the bath tub.

      Play Pilkington instead of Walters this weekend. Most of your H2H opponents with Walters will play him so you'll have good differential as Pilkington gives Hutton fits

        I'd do Pilk instead of Sess, he won't see much of the ball as Sunderland already can't maintain enough possession SAF will choke it further will Roon cloggin the midfield. And Stoke play Bolton, there will be goals, and dodgy defending in the box. I'd never bench Walters over Sess...it'll be back to reality for him unfortunately.

    Cleverley is injured, so I need to replace him. They have to be 5.6 or less. Anyone have any decent suggestions on alternative players. Sadly, I can't afford Ramsey, unless I do a 4 point hit.

    If it's any use. the midfielders I already have are:

    VDV, SWP, Silva, Mata - then obviously Cleverley.

    Is it worth taking Silva out aswell, seen as it says he's injured until probably 19th. Decisions.

      Actually, ignore that. I'm confusing Silva with a different player. He has a 75% chance of playing, so not worth taking him out. Just need to find a decent player 5.6 or less to replace Cleverley.

    Considering Arsenal's next 4 fixtures are WBA, Norwich, Fulham, Wigan, anyone considering Santos at the back? He is very, very attacking and could do well next few weeks.
