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.

    Are people going off the idea of a Fabs Haz double up in mid over Costa. Seem to be seeing far more teams with Costa over Fabs in them now. This will be my biggest dillema when I wildcard

        I currently own Haz and Costa and am really not sure if I switch and go with Aguero Austin and Kane or if I go Aguero Costa and Kane

      I'm keeping Haz and Cesc anyway. For me the dilemma is Costa v Chelsea defender.

          bit confused, who to start between huttin and cresswell? Huttin. I think there will be goals in both games so might as well go for attacking returns

      i am having exact same dilemma, a) more balanced with the D while b) has a stunning frontline

      it really comes down to how much more worth it is costa over giroud/pelle

      and if terry is really worth the extra funds over cheaper rotating defenders

      im stuck at the moment too but i am leaning towards B and gambling on cheap defenders continuing to provide pretty decent value

          Chadli can perform at high levels but he never had proper consistency. He's showing a lot more of it at the moment so this might be his time. Might. This is why it's risky. Are you punting anywhere else in your team?

    While playing Fifa Manager mode against Aston Villa (world class), the opponent received two red cards. I think that's the first time that's ever happened in my Fifa playing career that the computer did that. Against this particular opponent, however, I feel like this is quite accurate and mirrors their real-life performances.
