The ScoutCast – Episode 139 – Essential

Don’t get us wrong – we’re not labelling this latest droning session as “essential” listening. However, there’s no getting away from the fact that the concept of essential players has dominated the airwaves at Scout towers over the past week.

In this latest episode, Granville and I take on this meaty subject, whilst chewing over the importance of ownership and spit out the semblance of an opinion on both. Around that main course, we take on the usual bevvy of regulars with the usual haphazard panache.

Essential? Not quite, not even on a rainy Thursday night.

Grab this crucial slice of audio via this link or explore this necessary noise via the player below…

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

          Pretty annoying. He was a 'buy just in case he gets a chance' along side an every week keeper. Some people (a lot on here no doubt) bought him expecting him to play and had to sell now that he isn't. Booo

                Even with the doubts? I kind agree but just not sure he'll play. Suppose it's not the end of the world with Boyd on the bench but still.... i think Mane could do some damage

                  Yeah for this week Mane looks the better shout, probably getting Chadli myself next week though. (For either ADM or Fabs) He looks like the real deal this year, huge goal threat.

    I'm getting quite fed up with the women's football on the BBC website. I find myself clicking on things thinking I'm going to see something about men's football, but then it ends up being women's football. I'm delighted that they're improving and gaining popularity, but I think they need a separate section on the Beeb. Wouldn't be so bad if the ladies' teams weren't at the same clubs (thus, same names) as the gents' teams.

    Chambers is short-term for now anyway, I would also like to balance the team better(get a really cheap mid) but finding a hard time setting it up, especially since every single player in my front 8 has risen, and must of them a lot since I bought them.

        Certainly is! Far too strong up top, it's between Ulloa, Pelle and Sig, Ulloa usually beeing the victim, pondering removing Ulloa, one of the expensive mids and upgrading defender, but if picking the team is hard picking a midfielder to drop is a nightmare!

    Sorry for the repost if you saw this earlier. I played my wildcard just after the last round of games.

    Selected a quick draft team, hit "confirm transfers", thinking I could change things later.

    But when I try to transfer now, it seems to be costing me -4pts. Am I doing something wrong?! I thought a WC was unlimited transfers?

    Here's a screenshot.

      I'm wary of Arsenal's defence, it isn't like it was last season. Arsenal haven't kept a clean sheet in the PL this season when Monreal has featured. I'd say wait until Kosc + Chambers are back and see then.
