The ScoutCast – Episode 151 – Arrears

These are difficult times for Granville. Sadly for him, his prediction that Diego Costa’s studs played into my hands along with Emre Can’s ankle proved correct – the Chelsea villain pushed me into a Gameweek 23 Wildcard and I cashed in.

It left Granville spitting feathers and 92-points behind but he remains defiant. Even with the millions draining from his squad via his active Wildcard, my resolute co-host is not giving up on keeping the season alive and the rivalry as bitter as ever.

We weigh up Granville’s latest options in his quest to close the gap: analysing the contest between Sturridge and Aguero for our place in our forward lines, check in on the fallout from the Sanchez injury, whilst wading through the usual regulars ahead of another Gameweek.

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

        There's bleedin' a number of ways to get to Burnley from Manchester. It would be a very sorry excuse if this game is called off.

        And buses, and trains and cars. There is absolutely no chance the game will be called off because of a tram strike, just a lot of inconenience for some people.

                Actually there have been relatively few risers during the wildcard season.

                I'm not going to argue about it. I'll take a Santi rise happily if it happens.

      Tight imo. We haven't conceded an open play goal in 9 matches. Solid at the back. But who knows in a derby..

        Hmm yeah I tend to agree with you. Although an early goal for either side could open the floodgates

      Seems to be the standard way forward, even mine looks very similar

    Just about there on WC team:

    Krul (Foster)
    Terry PVA N.Taylor (Wollsheid Hutton)
    Hazard Cazorla Di Maria Silva (Walters)
    Giroud Kane Aguero

    Template but solid? 1.2m itb for Silva > Sanchez / Walcott for LEI game

    1. Is Naughton nailed? - would prefer to the more expensive Taylor
    2. Hutton > ??? Collochini perhaps

    Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance
