The ScoutCast – Episode 140 – Gloaty

4,032 Comments

After the best Gameweek tally in living memory, I reserve the right for a bit of a gloat. Having risked the Wildcard back in Gameweek 7, the stars aligned and everything fell into place last weekend, leaving my ScoutCast co-host, grumpy Granville, grabbing at straws and smashing TV sets in frustration.

After last season’s defeat, I revel in my moment of glory but still find time to lock horns with Granville over the great Costa debate. Is Jose playing with our minds? I certainly think so but, as Granville points out, I reckon the Lunar landings were fake. I love a good conspiracy, me.

Congratulate yourself via this link or bask in smugness via the handy player below…

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

      Im doing the switch but doubling up on them against QPR rather than direct swap. Some might say a waste of transfer but QPR could be 4 goals plus easy.

      Fab's always going to be involved in the goals, despite sometimes scoring boring 4/5/6 pointers.

      I wouldn't do the swap personally, but follow your gut.

        Professional footballers have strict training and diet regimes and are monitored constantly.

        He's just got out of hospital and people are taking about Jose playing mind games! Even if he is declared technically fit is he going to be sharp enough to make any impact?

    My take on Costa is IF you have Aguero in your team he should stay considering you have a good mid-priced second striker

    My problem is I have no Aguero and he's my only real option for funds to replace with. I would have to do a -8 hit so I'm leaning more towards keeping Costa. Have a funny feeling Maureen has him all set to give United a rollicking. Aguero would need to score 2 at least to justify a -8 hit for me.
