The ScoutCast – Episode 150 – Costly

3,842 Comments
Share

Granville and I raise out bats to the grandstand as the 150 comes up for the ScoutCast. Fittingly, we choose to spend the milestone episode moaning about Diego Costa, for very different reasons.

Chelsea’s “agro magnet” dominates discussion on the eve of an expected three-match ban that will end my love affair with the grizzled goal-getter. Meanwhile, Granville is left smarting from Costa’s 16-point Gameweek 22 haul as he does his best to make light of the 59-point chasm that now separates our teams.

Elsewhere, we glide through the ScoutCast regulars, whilst taking time out to lament Kevin Mirallas and his latest bout of Baines-bullying that robbed us both of belated returns.

Count the cost via this link, or pay your dues via the handy player below…

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

    For those who don't quite get my disdain for the overpriced, overrated Falcao, I'll point you in the direction of this blog from September before he'd kicked a ball for United.

    Morning everyone. Not been properly on here for a couple of weeks now, so could really do with some advice. Please!

    Team for the GW is as follows:

    Forster
    Terry, Cresswell, Vergini
    Sanchez*, Cesc*, Haz, ADM
    Rooney, Kane, Austin

    Subs: Siggy**, Hutton, Yun**

    1 FT: 0.7 itb, WC will be played next GW.

    What are people's thoughts on Sanchez and Cesc? Considering these options:

    A: Cresswell > Kosc
    B: Cesc > Cazorla

      More points potential with B for me, Beavis. Too much of a risk if Cesc doesn't play you'll be in trouble for his replacement if you do the defensive transfer. Cresswell always a chance at an attacking return..and who knows they could shut out Liverpool - not as though they're finishing their chances at the moment.

        Cheers Walsh. I think you may be right. Plan was always A but with the injury news I think B may be safest, as well as giving me a good VC option as I'm still not confident in United.

          Yeah if no injury then of course A is the play but as things stand I fear you may need to shift.

              Pretty good. Been all over the place on WC this week..have never seen such a ridiculous fluctuation of my team I think ever. But..have finally settled on what I think I will go with so that is a very nice thing 🙂

                  Don't think it will be too popular but...

                    I like the defence and the Mane pick a lot. Was considering Ozil myself as well, will scout him this week (I also think he will start). Also Moses good as 5th mid especially with GW 27 fixture. Falcao the only one I'm not sure about but his price means you can switch very easily so might be worth the 1 week punt at least.

                    Best of luck mate.

                      Yeah, sorry AR. One of my best friends a massive Arsenal fan told me to get Ozil and give him a go. Thinks he's about to explode...so I am trusting him there. I also happen to love the bug eyed bloke so I hope he comes good! 🙂

      I'd prefer Moses to Walters (Moses stats kill Walters)

      Not sure I'd want to spend 5.9 on Kosc as your other two cheap defenders have some better defensive fixtures coming up.

      And unsure about Krul and Newcastle in general.

        Moses - Walters is really toss up. Moses has the stats and attacking flair, but Walters has PK duty & nailed-on-ness.

        i want an ARS defender, so Kos looks very nailed on and is some threat going forward. I don;t mind playing 4 at the back you know, and bench that 4th mid 😉

        NEW is worrying, might not getting Krul after all.

His movements have been good recently and I think he's got quite the chip on his shoulder and something to prove given the way it's been going for him since he's moved to United.
