The ScoutCast Episode 149 – Rushed

With gremlins in the machine, the clock was ticking on this week’s ScoutCast as Granville and I are hurried into service.

Displaying all the urgency and determination of Ade Akinfenwa at the end of season buffet, we waste no time in driving through the ScoutCast regulars, whilst weighing the merits of when to swoop for a certain “essential” Argentine.

While this week’s low fat episode may come as a treat for some, we’re working towards a return to the full fat, high cholesterol live Hangout from next week. Keep ‘em peeled for news on that.

For now, grab this rapid recording via this link or stream the swiftness via the player below…

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

    Ok taking people's advice on board would you prefer A or B?

    A). Forster, Hutton, Cameron, Fabregas (Have Hazard, No Costa)

    Or

    B). Krul, Trippier, Bertrand, Sterling

      A, definitely.

      That's mostly because I much prefer Cesc to Sterling though, which I don't think you do?

      So if it was me I'd basically have A except with a cheaper keeper + better defender.

      I think so. He showed what poor form he is in against Southampton. I think he will come good soon as he is world class but I wouldn't gamble the captaincy on him right now.

      Exactly same boat Arctic. Jumping between ADM, Kane and Kun myself.
      ADM as Walshy mentioned is currently out of form. Very low captaincy
      Kun may not play 90, but will probably score. Low captaincy
      Kane, up against a Sundy defence that is keeping cleanies. High captaincy

      Think I'm going to go with Kane in the end as most above me will be captaining him I feel, safer.

      Was thinking about it too.

      He was poor against Southampton but A) he was only just back from injury and B) Southampton have an excellent defence.

      He has a low enough ownership to be a (relative) differential and even fewer people will captain him so if it works out he'll be a big plus. Plus even if it doesn't work out you probably won't be hurt too badly as the captaincy is going to be quite spread this week, I think.

      Ultimately though it comes down to the fact that QPR are a poor team and he is a very good player.

    What a benching headache.

    Eriksen, Silva, Hazard, Sanchez, Downing
    Costa, Kane, Austin

    Nailed on starters for me are Hazard, Sanchez, Eriksen, Costa & Kane.

    Think it's easy to make a case for the other 3:

    1) Silva - goal threat will reduce with Kun back and hardest fixture
    2) Downing - least goal threat
    3) Austin - tricky fixture, but huge goal threat especially at home

    Have to wonder about the state of moral at utd

    So far this season the dutchman has

    1) Slagged off his entire defence
    2) Left Falcao out of one of biggest games of season
    3) Plays Rooney out of position
    4) Changes system every week
    5) Blames players when it goes wrong , rather than his ridiculous tactics

    Its all going to end in tears. His biggest blunder was last week. Southampton are probably there biggest rivals for a top four spot, and he tries an untested tactic of playing Di Maria as a striker, or at least it looked like he was trying to be. Rooney had a terrible game, and while he is the capt he has to say nice things, inside he must be thinking wtf, Falcao dosent play and im still not the striker

    Then he has the cheek to blame the players

      I don't get 4. Has he not just been playing the same 352 week in week out for quite a while now? Seems he just keeps chopping and changing personnel within that failed system week in week out.

          Right, that's what I said re: personnel...he keeps trying to fit the square pegs that are the players on the roster into the round hole that is the 352 formation.

              IDK a lot of game weeks have come to pass in less than two months. Seems that the formation has been pretty stable to me however much of a failure it has been. The variations within it as you mention, though, is a foreign concept to me.

              We've played the classic Ajax 352 with Carrick in the "3" position, a more defensive version which played more like 532 with Fella and Carrick in midfield and what was really more of a 343 with Wilson partnering RvP. They have all looked a mess but we've rode our luck.

      This also relates to my least favorite term - narrative. The press just pigeon holes managers by type and then extrapolates from there.

      Mourinio- clever
      Pelegrini- aloof
      LVG- tactical genius
      Wenger- Clueless

      LVG is not being judged by the same standards as others as he is obviously so clever and working on a master plan that us mortals couldnt even fathom so why should he bother explaining.

          Still think it's folly to not go 343. I'd rather get a more budget 5th mid and beef up defense. Austin has proven that he is startable week in week out if you decide to retain him. For me, anyway 🙂

        Thanks, I'm hoping the Punch pays off or I'll uppercut myself.

        Not yet, Liverpool still a bit of a shambles and I'm not convinced just yet.

          It's up to 30' so no. Was -5 earlier this week. That was rough.

            I think we had that front just before you. Right around New Years.

            Glad to see Americans enjoying FFL. How's your season going?

      Nice team, there should be another big hitter there in place of Siggy or downing if your going without Costa

        Was thinking of transferring in Fabs or ADM for Silva and bumping Downing up to Chadli. Does that help?

    Must say that not owning Aguero makes the captains choice a breeze, one less coin toss to get wrong

      But where is the fun in that? Kun makes it fun, almost like Suarez last year.
