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.

      its not really possible to have a fair judgement of it since some people take good hits while some make silly hits..so it depends on people.

      For me i have taken 10 hits this season...6-7 is correct but a few is wrong..so its hard to say as a whole. Some involved point gains..and some involve similar points over a few weeks but gain in value..etc

      in short i do not believe taking hits are bad..its more of personal judgement and luck that makes it good or bad

        Thanks for the input. I was more of the thinking to take the top 10k and do some analysis. I have made some calculated risks and about 70% have worked. I have made them for price increases early on and 2 revamps due to massive injury pileups.

    Played my wildcard and looking like this, what do you think?

    Panti / foster

    Cameron/ Luis/ wisdom / wasi/ PVA

    haz / ADM / Sanchez / siggy / Boyd

    Aguero / costa / Kane

    0.4 Itb

    Dilemma is that I know the defence is weak. Luis I'm seeing as a cover for Chelsea as azpili is out?

    Do you think I should do either of these:
    A) take out siggy for puncheon and improve defence? Rival has siggy tho and I would lose value as had from beginning
    B) take out adm for sterling and use money to Improce defence?

    Worth taking a -4 hit for Debuchy this GW? Currently have Terry, Bertrand, Clichy and PVA. Unlikely will get clean sheets this week from Clichy or PVA. Who would be best Debuchy replacement?

      Not worth it IMO. You can gamble that he doesn't drop and get rid of him tomorrow when the new GW starts. You need someone to get a CS and whoever you bench to draw a blank just to break even.

          Tbh I would get rid of Costa so you get a Che and Sot defender instead of Janmaat and PVA.

      Heaton to Krul, Janmaat to Fonte/Clyne/Bertrand? Downing's fixtures are OKish after this week, any alternatives for that?

            Yes but they will still be great assets. And great fixtures coming too so instead of getting two like many are doing just get the 1.

      Chadli over Siggy for next two then swap. Might even make a bit of money out of it. Both due to go up/down tonight. Hamer over Myhill & play him for 2 of next 3.

        Spread your risk? One Newcastle moment (at home) and that's your expensive defense blanking.
