The ScoutCast – Episode 122 – Animal

Granville and I have tackled some hard-hitting issues on the ScoutCast but it was perhaps inevitable that, on handing the opportunity for you, the community, to provide queries, things would ratchet up a few notches and have us chew over the subjects that matter most.

Listen in to this week’s episode and find out how the pair of us answered the first round of questions from you folks – including a humdinger that stretched our limited mental capabilities to breaking point.

Minds blown, we still managed to take on the ScoutCast regulars, rinsing through the bandwagons in all aboard, whilst previewing the forthcoming midweek Gameweek with both our Wildcard’s active. Elsewhere, Granville puts another phantom Lukaku assist under the grill, while I ponder the merits of achieving an unlikely differential using Sergio Aguero and the armband. No really, I’m 12% sure it’s going to work.

By the way, watch out for Jonty’s Hot Topic next week for your chance to fire us a question that’s certain to derail the next episode.

For now, though, slip the leash and listen in via this link or go wild via the handy player below.

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

    current team and likely plan

    Boruc - Davis
    Coleman - Azpi - Kosc - Chester - Ward
    Haz - Silva - Lallana - Cabaye - Colback
    Suarez - Aguero - Sturridge

    pre-GW24: Lallana > Mata
    pre-GW25: Coleman > Zaba

    then sometime when I have luxury transfers Colback > Jedi/Noone and Chester > someone

    Ade looks nice at his price and allows me to have a better backline so will consider but not until Sturridge blanks repeatedly

          Or have you just typed "Aguero" instead of "Giroud"? 😛

                don't know if you have notifications set but..

                I'm thinking of keeping Lallana (or eventually switching him to Eriksen) over Silva so that I can upgrade my defense in that manner 😉

    Hi Folks,

    Does anyone have the link for the best goalkeeper combos on a WC?

    Marshall and Mannone seems to work the best but they are both defensivly unreliable.

    So was looking at home fixtures for the cheap goalies as you would want to rotate them for their home games:

    1) villa (WBA, WHM, NOR, CHE, STO, FUL, SOT)...so 1 tough fix..but can get much cheaper access to their def through vlaar/bertrand

    2) cardiff (NOR, AVL, HUL, FUL, LIV, CPL, STO)...1 tough fix. def is not nailed on apart from caulker so marshall is good option to go here (any chance he might get ousted?)

    3) palace (HUL, WBA, MUN, SOT, CHE, AVL, CITY)...3 tough fixtures so a decent shout

    4) hull (TOT, SOT, NEW, MCI, WBA, SWA, ARS)...very tough home fix, but good away fixtures so its a real toughie..could have been a good option to go with chester but he is injured

    5) saints (ARS, STO, LIV, NOR, NEW, CAR, EVE)...3 tough fix but generally a good defensive unit. is boruc fit? shaw the cheapest nailed on def?...not sure whether to get boruc

    6) swansea (FUL, CAR, CPL, WBA, NOR, CHE, AVL)...only 1 tough fix so great schedule, hopefully vorm is back and gk and def is similarly priced. but they look in such poor form...thoughts?

    i have ignored whm and stoke goalies as there is too much uncertainty.

    So based on above, its either cardiff/sland or cardiff/swansea.

    Any other decent options?

        Could be better off risking Eto'o as Oscar is probably just a worse alternative to Hazard.

        I don't think he is sadly, I'm looking at Chambers but it's far from clear. I fear Poch will just rotate on a whim. Also, without Lovren, there are concerns on the Soton defence, anyway.

    Mannone Adrián
    Koscielny Terry Gabbidon Yoshida Coleman
    Cabaye Hazard Silva Ki Noone
    Suárez Agüero Sturridge

    Bank - 0.7

    Any early thoughts? Could also upgrade Noone/Ki > Januzaj (4.9) but prefer Ki over Januzaj for the potential DGW I think.

          Yeah, I kinda think it's too good if you get me, not quite sure it's sustainable- and that's for Pool in general- Migs overperformed at the start of the season and has been rubbish for the last 5- so I think it MAY happen to the rest of the team. I certainly wouldn't call SAS a bad pick though- just not the best imo 😉

          Ah maybe not, just spotted Baines. I think Baines might be the one to downgrade, he will do well but he's priced so much higher. You could do Baines - Coleman (pending injury) and maybe upgrade Sagna to Kos or Mert?

            also isn't Clyne not playing?

        I think he will do it tonight. Nadals hand is an issue imo.

    Morning lads,

    I need to get Aguero in my squad but only have 1 FT and I am 0.5m short te get him in for Negredo next week.
    My team currently is:
    Boruc(davis)
    Coleman/Mert/Ward ( Chester, who i will transfer for bruce after I have gotten Aguero in)(Burner)
    Januzaj/Gerrard/Ozil/Navas ( Lallana)
    Suarez/Negredo/Adebayor.

    Now I could go for Mert>Kos this week and then get Aguero in next week but I am also thinking about throwing Ozil out, he is so expensive and delivers 0, maybe get Cazorla instead.

    Thoughts?

      Mertesacker to Koscielny. They're much of a muchness. Ozil's form is poor recently but if/when he hits form he should do better than Cazorla.

    Any chance of Aguero or Januzaj going up again before the deadline?

        Haha... Suppose you're right!

        Expected him to climb more quickly, would probably have taken the last price rises if it meant being able to wait until after the weekend Cup games.
