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.

      if you have siggy at 6.0, keep him.. even when he drops maybe once this gw, he'll still be better value than most at that price.

      henderson
      johnson

    So part of my decision to activate my WC was to ship naylor, siggy and downing and to get a budget defender, Boyd and some mid priced mid to avoid rotation nightmares and have some left ITB to play with...

    Now I'm onsidering Chadli and puncheon and wollscheid or PVA hence making more rotation nightmares and more decisions to make on goal scoring mids.
    This is to go with haz Sanchez and fab! Any advice much appreciated

        Chelski defender? Fear of rotation, schedule too busy, don't know.

    I am interested to see how low Hazard is ranking on the captain poll and popular opinion... He has only drawn blank 9 times this season, and interestingly one two of these have come in succession -

    Of note, after each of his other 7 blanks he has gone: 9,7,11,10,11,9,14

    I know this doesn't take into account home and away fixtures but I, still massively impressed by those numbers and all it really does is confirm one thing - you can't hold the man down for long

      He always gets himself into dangerous positions and can beat a man with the ball. Hard to stop, but just because he dosen't blank twice in a row is a star dependent on so many variables.
