The ScoutCast – Episode 141 – Dither

30 October 2014 3397 comments

Flabbergasted by my reluctance to tinker and the decision to throw away my Gameweek 9 transfer, Granville can’t wait to get stuck into me in the ScoutCast studio.

My co-host roughs me up over my cowardice, then slaps me around for the fact that I appeared to hoodwink the entire world over Diego Costa’s fitness. We then go on to appraise the merits of Ed Sheeran, check in on Neil Warnock’s latest gripes and weigh up the Sterling vs Sanchez vs Hazard debate. Meanwhile, Kieran Trippier’s cross count without an assist for Granville hits 66 and counting. Who’s dithering now, eh Granville?

Dilly-dally over this episode via this link or dawdle in its direction via the player below…

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

      I guess Sanchez's form is making it hard to contemplate other options. Plus part of the appeal with Ramsey last year was his huge ownership, meaning people just bought regardless of whether they wanted to.

          Actually they are tied on 9 I think ( yes aguero has played in more games but they would b close on mins). Peno takers have that bonus of stealing a goal and saving a captaincy even when playing poor

      Chelsea could start Cech and his helmet at striker and still win that game.

      Nah. Always guaranteed to play with Brenton the philosopher in charge.

      He'll rack up the bonus points too. FPL God.

    Sorry for probably repeating what many have already said, but I've been out of the loop a few days; what's the story with Diego Costa?

    Just realised, for the last 4 gameweeks I have captained the player I have transferred in that week. Pelle, Costa, Welbeck, Aguero. Do I continue this trend and captain Sanchez this week? It hasn't actually worked out that well for the past 4 GW's mind you.

      I would, yes. If Arsenal do score, he'll very likely be involved with it.
