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.

    Azpi dropped to 6.1 over night! Sure is tempting me over the more secure Cahill & Terry. What are people opinion on his vulnerability to rotation over the remaining fixtures compared to centre-back

              Are you overthinking it a bit.. masking the fact that you're doubling up on Chelsea midfield.. by getting Oscar instead of Fab?

      azpi has been in bps when chelsea keep a clean sheet and none of the defenders scores/assists

      he is a slight rotation risk as luis can only play as a left back and he eventually has to play

      i am pretty sure azpi will play the vast majority of the mathces and luis will feature more on capital one, fa cup and 1-2 "easy" home matches before a difficult fixture to allow azpi to rest
