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.

Broaden your horizons via this link or spread your wings via the handy player below.

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

            Excellent...although I wouldn't have got Sturridge seeing as you have Coutinho, but seeing as theres not many better choices in the 8-9 bracket (since you already have Benteke and Soldado)...its basically the best you could get.

            sidenote: I really rate Bony, but his fixtures are terrible...still have him in my side though

    So M started Torres then started Ba! and now he will start Lukaku against ManUtd.
    Everyone's shipping Luk? It's about balance with M and with his decision to give Luk the cameo in both games and starting the other 2 alternately then the perfect balance for G/W2 will be Luk because lets face it Torres and Ba have had there shot in the M balance.

    Ba was making most of his runs starting from an offside position and needs a lobotomy. Torres is becoming a character from The Hobbit on Mushrooms.

    So Lukaku starts against Utd and Negredo starts for Citeh.. And don't come crying to me for spilt milk.

        Yes, this is true.

        But imo, its better to recognize a mistake early, take the hit on the chin and get in a productive replacement right away rather than make a boatload of excuses, keep the player and watch him lose you value and points at the same time.

        Doubt Jol will change the CBs to be honest. We looked pretty solid at Sunderland. Think Amoribieta will eventually become our CB but may take a bad game fro Hughes for that to happen

        Most likely is he'll play the CC in a week or 2 and go on from there.

              I dunno, might bottle it yet. Dzeko's "form" didn't translate into an actual goal though, whereas Negredo had a legitimate one ruled out in much less playing time. Plus longer term I think he'll get more minutes.

              I want one of the three in, and have just had this gut feeling about Negredo since before the season began. My gut isn't always the best judge though!

                  All three of them are, you've got to punt on one i think.

                  I think with City this year, patience will be key. The points got spread around a lot on Monday, sometimes your choice will be the one who scores big, sometimes they'll have to make do with a solitary assist on a 5-0 win. Controlling the urge to jerk those knees will reap dividends methinks.
