The ScoutCast – Episode 138 – Secretary

Granville’s lackadaisical approach to the new campaign might just explain why he’s treading water. Missing deadlines and price rises, my ScoutCast co-host badly needs to introduce some organisation into his season if he’s to keep pace – the man needs a PA – get your applications in.

With Granville floundering, I’ve decided to lay down my Wildcard to potential rub further salt into his wounds. Is it a chronic case of “jerky knee”? Granville certainly thinks (hopes) so.

We chat over my Wildcard revolution, analyse how the heavy-hitting midfielders are failing to pull their weight and rinse through the usual regulars in the same disorganised fashion.

Minute this meeting via this link or set your own agenda via the handy player below…

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

      Walcott, and Ox will be big competition for Sanchez natural place in the team, Arsenal for me are quite unbalanced as a squad. Ozil is probably a better investment, cheaper, and more consistent game time.

    Any advice on who to take out of my team from Fab and Hazard? Not confident with triple Chelsea attack for the next few weeks (I have Costa too).

    Should be straightforward after Hazard's form but I'm hearing Fab is playing deeper now?

      I think Fabregas will be moved in to the hole against Arsenal and Oscar benched with Matic and Mikel coming in to midfield.

      But Fabregas is a good choice, he puts at least one chance on the plate for other players every game and sometimes gets in to the box

      Having watched every chelsea match, I feel he is getting closer to his first league goal

    Guys need some help on Jedinak or Welbeck this week. I think people just see the name and go "Welbeck!" but Jedinak is playing a more attacking role in a central 3 midfield and is playing the "Pirlo" role. He also has 2 goals in 2.

    Welbeck has Chelsea and I cannot see him scoring.

    Someone tell me it's not a stupid idea to play a 5-man midfield and bench Welbeck?

    team would be :

    Heaton
    Ivanovic - Clyne - Duff
    ADM - Sterling - Fabrgeas - Siggy - Jedinak

        Hull-Palace I can see being a 2-2 (Hull had a couple of 2-2s in a row infact) and Jeds is a playmaker in that team recently

      Cant see it myself. Atleast not iff Aguero & Costas stay fit. With Pelle & Welbeck cheap options for the 3rd spot. Can just see a lot of flitting in the midfield. When sterlings fixtures change it could be an easy swap

      I would prefer Benteke at 7.9m than Walcott at 9m, but I already have Costa, Falcao, and Welbeck so I don't know who I would even drop for Benteke anyway.

      3 - 4 - 3 all season for me - unless a major injury happens.

Yes yes i know 5 in 6 apperances, but going by previous seasons that cannont last & surely being a out of condition 28 year old stepping up a division he'll be hard pushed to better his tally from last season
