The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Two – Double Top

While I was “driving home for Christmas”, Granville was recovering from a breathless double Gameweek that left him just above the average; his humble target achieved, he’s now got to patch up his injury ravaged squad and contend with all my crazy Wildcard talk.

Wayne Rooney’s form is the catalyst for such a revolution in my squad, as we discuss the benefits of doubling up on the United men up top. There’s the usual foray into the transfer market with “all board”, the preview of the weekend fixtures and the latest attempt to revive the corpse of the ScoutCatst team: Granville is the surgeon this week and he’s spending some points.

Struggling field 11 this week.

Have Mata & Clyne both with no fixture.
Enrique huge doubt who would come out for Cuellar away at Man Utd.
Sterling Bibgate - Possibly wont play and no sub to come in.
Sessegnon away at Man Utd.

Have 1 FT and £2.3m in bank.Sess out for Bale/Dempsey would be prefered move but at least Sess guaranteed to play. Sterling not playing could kill my score this week.

  Fellaini against Stoke makes it less likely that the hit will pay off but he is a long term prospect so maybe you could look at it that way.
