The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Two – Double Top

978 Comments
Share

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.

Put all your eggs in our United basket by clicking this link or, alternatively, stream the liquid honey via the player below…

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

          Would cost be 4 points to get Suarez and I'd have to sell Enrque to Hughes to do it.

          The other option is sell Tevez as well and do: Defoe, Suarez and Gibbs IN for Tevez, Fletcher and Enrique. But would cost 8 points!
