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.

    Last thoughts after playing Wilcard. Since Aguero might be back next weeks and I need to free some cash (will happen from the mid) which of the two combos you prefer.

    This gameweek :

    A. Sanchez , Haz, Fab, Sterling, Boyd
    B. Sanchez , Haz, Fab, Chadli, Boyd

    Next gameweek.

    1. Sanchez , Haz, Fab, Chadli, Boyd
    2. Replace Sanchez with Sterling/Silva/someone else around 8-9m£.

    Should I go with B and 1, from now or keep A and in the next week get Chadli instead of Sterling ? Or Downing?

    Number 2 is kind of a quick though now that Arsenal's Ramsey and Ozil and Groud are back - this may limit Alexis influence.

      Jesus that is tough. Between Siggy and Austin for me - maybe the latter as their away form is the worst ever...

          I'd consider just playing Foster in goal every week, personally not a fan of rotating goalkeepers as they're so hard to get right and then perhaps Naylor > Hutton, Cameron

          Chadli does offer good value though so don't decimate your team to accomodate ADM. I'm going for some United attack in ADM over double Spurs though

            Yeah, agreed. Will monitor the next couple of weeks.
            I feel like ADM will be valuable going forwards, so the key question really is Fab or ADM (presuming Costa isn't essential)...?

      So thinking about it, could go:

      A) Ivanovic - Naylor - Fab - Ings (current)
      B) Azpi - Hutton - Siggy - Costa

      ??

    Any ideas on defenders? I would like to swap cresswell out for somebody else in that price range but I don't know who. I already have wisdom, and bertrand.
