The ScoutCast – Episode 148 – Harried

Granville and I make a New Year return to the ScoutCast studio, battered and bruised by the events of Gameweek 20 which saw us both inexplicably bench Harry Kane and his 18-point haul.

Having wasted our big differential and haunted by constant reminders, my co-host and I struggle to make a recovery. Spitting the pips from our sour grapes, we do our best to justify our doomed decision-making, before attempting to salve the wounds with talk of the Winter Wildcard refresh around the usual batch of regulars.

Feel the frustration via this link or swallow the bitter pill via the handy player below…

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

      Really not feeling the double Utd, especially with the move for Aguero requiring a transfer, to be honest its probably worth ditching Baines now.

      I disagree with the comment above about double Spurs. Both Chadli and Kane are close to being the best in their categories for points per min per million (not an exact measure but not a bad one either)

      Hi guys, would appreciate your thoughts on my WC team.

      Foster Myhil

      Terry Bertrand PVA Trippier Wasilewski

      Sanchez Hazard Siggy Sterling Boyd

      RvP Costa Kane

      Will wait to get Aguero after Chelsea match, and that means i'm giving RvP and Costa 3 game to play and to chose which one to get rid gor Kun. Its probably going to be Costa because he just dont get any 10+ point hauls any more and is every game so close to a red card that i dont consider him capitan option any more, and pretty soon he's goin to get 10th yellow and 2 game ban.
      Also, in defence i'm going with PvA and Trip combo for 3rd spot for a while hoping that they could prove as nice differentials with thier nice fixtures and atacking potential. Rest of the team is pretty standard.

        This is the tough one alot will be thinking of.

        Mata - Inconsistent gametime potentially
        ADM - Injury prone
        Rooney - Solid but reverse OOP
        RVP - way overpriced
        Falcao - reminds me of Forlan

        Think goals/points will be constantly shared out and for their respective prices only a greedy ADM become an option. Wait and see for me.

            yeah I prefer Cesc over Costa for Chelsea

            so it's really a question of Giroud and Siggy

      Lambert staying put, no offers for Balotelli/Borini and search for new keeper may have to wait until the summer #LFC

      Why isnt Eljero Elia in the game yet?

      Think he may start in the Saints 4-3-3 system, replacing Mane and if his head is screwed on he could be a real asset for them

      Anyone think that Kane may well do an Austin/Tadic/numerous others and blank this weekend?

      Everybody loves a blank after a big haul!
