The ScoutCast – Episode 110 – Cosmo

He’s well travelled. He’s multi-lingual. He’s just 19 points behind me. Despite my best start to a Fantasy Football season in living memory, Granville is right on my tail. In this latest episode of the ScoutCast, Granville takes delight in taunting me by wrapping his tongue around every “Pochettino” with ease, leaving me to struggle like Paul Merson with a mouth ulcer.

In between the mispronunciations, myself and the “cosmopolitan Manc” get heated about Robin Van Persie, rinse through the Gameweek 1 bandwagons, preview the weekend’s action and welcome the flying start made by this season’s ScoutCast team. It’s breathless stuff, squeezed into a low fat 40 minutes.

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

    Sigh, caught on last post!

    107 points first week so I don't mind taking a hit 🙂

    Ivan -> Zab seems a given
    then
    Lukaku -> ??? Dzeko maybe?

    Doing the first one leaves me £8.4m to buy striker.

    Thoughts would be much appreciated.

          Also dzeko might not score and zaba might not get a clean sheet. On the other hand having 4 DGW players changes things. I had 3, transferring for free 2 and benching 1. Take the hit considering you cant bench 2 top players

    Well I had a stinker of a first week. Took Benteke out on the morning of the game. Lukaku didn't start either game. Grandin didn't even play. What was I thinking?

    Anyway, where to go from here? I literally have no idea.

    Boruc, Marshall
    Koscielny, Terry, Toure, Chester, Turner
    Silva, Walcott, Hazard, Mirallas, Grandin
    Lukaku, Soldado, Sturridge

    Repost. If you're torn between soldado an dzeko for the armband (like me). Betting odds might help.

    City to score 4 or more goals is at 2.1. Dzeko to score at least one 2.1.

    Spurs to score 4 or more goals is at 5.5. Soldado to score at least one 1.83.
