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.

    @Rupert the horse

    You should definitely save

    Your Terry Bertrand and Wisdom backline will ensure you are replicating a very high number of defensive picks from those teams around you, so you won't gain much and won't lose much either...but you will keep the (-4)...Debuchy out after the cup games.

    I take a hit a week so Debuchy can go for me...

    Opinions on my WC defense please, not sure if it's completely pointless. I'm thinking of getting Koscielny and having Cameron seems to make it potentially viable.

    Bertrand Terry Koscielny Cameron Wisdom

    Play Bertrand each week, bench Terry only GW23 and rotate Koscielny with Cameron until GW25. Leaves Wisdom as a reasonable sub for anything unexpected.

      Demi isn't too sure how nailed on Cameron is now Bardsley and Whelan are both fit. GCam deputised initially for Whelan in midfield gwk9 and just as he got fit Bardsley got injured so switched to defence. Now both fit may be on bench.

    I would like to see Ibe at right wing back some point soon. Has the physique, pace and stamina. Looks like Origi coming back later on in the month. BR has just so many players, but it's all potential. Top 4 isn't a massive ask, everyone bar the top 3 are nearly as bad as each other. Although injuries to Wanyama and Schneiderlin will be make or break for Saints. I think Arsenal will end up in the top 4.

      It was Chambers at the start of the season but many Arsenal fans seem to think Bellerin has done enough to claim the spot. And Chambers should only be cover for central defence.

      I'm just happy they cant recall Jenkinson.

        Yes thats why Im asking. Bellerin looks so lively at the RB when he attacks.
        And last matches Chambers doesnt look solid even in the defensive part, which is his strongest part when he is on the wing back.

      Tight hamstring, Dyche has said "I think he’ll be ok".
      Was taken off as a precaution in a game we'd sort of already thrown by resting some key players.
      Think he will start.

      nice team, interesting to go 2 x Chels mid over Costa. He hasn't been getting the bonus points for some reason but unfairly imho

      flip a coin. I have Chadli but probably long term Downing as Chadli is less consistent
