The ScoutCast – Episode Seventy Eight – United

Back for a new season, with “sailing fan” Granville now woken from his Olympic dream, we return for another podcast after a three-month hiatus.

While some of the regulars are shelved this week, we talk over the Sky Sports Game, welcome new Fantasy Football double act “Fenners & Merse” and start the clear up after Robin Van Persie kicked over the applecart.

The episode is underpinned by a new concept – the idea that Granville and I can join forces and actually be effective. The premise is we pick a ScoutCast XI and cross our beams to co-manage it over the season, arguing the toss in every ScoutCast episode on transfers and substitutions. The aim is harmony and a united success. It seems unlikely to end that way.

Oh, and there are actually two of my “jokes” that Granville misses in this episode – see if you can make out the second. I swear he was dreaming of gold medals in the sailing.

Listen in on the squad selection via this link.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Where do we think this Carzola will play?

    I know the fixtures Gerrard has, but he usually steps up in those matches, and I can smell some penalties as well... 🙂 ?

    My first RMT in two seasons. But after last season's debarcle I could do with the reassurance.

    Jaask / Green

    Vidic / Ivan / Tierney / Gunter / Demel

    Bale / Lampard / Pienaar / Noble / Guthrie

    Tevez / Torres / Aguero

    + 0.5m.

    Feels fairly generic. Any issues I've missed?

      What's the rest of your team like when that's your midfield? I'm guessing your defence is horrific... Go for VDV over Siggy, although I think Valencia will be nailed on for United, so you should go for him.

    Alright lads, first post.

    Anyone with Tierney worried that Garrido is going to take his place?

    I have a nice cheao rotation going with him, Hangeland and Fabio, don't want to rip it up.

    Could replace him with Clyne I suppose, but dont really fancy Southampton and doesn't rotate as well.

    Look forward to your thoughts.
