The ScoutCast – Episode 140 – Gloaty

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.

    Begovic (Heaton)

    Ivan, Baines, Fonte (Moore, McShane)

    ADM, Sterling, Hazard, Tadic (Williams)

    Pelle, Falcao, Aguero

    Willing to take a punt, i am thinking of removing ADM, Falcao and Bego

    For Lloris, Chadli and a striker

    Asked about his lack of celebration, the Spurs manager said: "I only show emotion at home, and in my bed."

      a good comment, would've also been good if he'd said, 'Celebrate? He's lucky I didn't sub him off immediately for such flagrant showboating!'

      Throwing around terms like crazy here aren't any use.

      Been called crazy here a few times and it can backfire.

      We ll only know if keeping him or offloading was the right move down the road.
      No one can tell for sure yet..and then course there are a million permutations with each team too.

      Keeping or Selling will prob both be right depending on our teams.

      I can;t imagine for example aguero outscorinig the sum of welbeck + ADM points...

      also D is risky.If you think CHE have tough fixtures to remove Ivan, then why buy oscar (rotation risk)?

            Yeah, that's the main difference in UFPL - the number of alternatives you already have for free without having to bring a new face in. That's what makes me think I'm unlikely to use the loan system unless I have a serious injury crisis.

            Interesting to here a first hand assessment though - cheers 🙂

          Baines would be good to have, but in a week when you have three strong DF fixtures I don't think it's a priority. I have Baines as he's an FPL favourite of my, and I have Ivan, but it means Aguero and Costa together is a pipe dream 😀
