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.

    Wenger such a troll...I feel sorry for Wcers at the moment.

    He sounds promising for the Leicester game, however.

      It's hard to replace a striker that scores goals for one that doesn't know how to. Although with all the rotation they're capable of, Welbeck could come onto a flank, and Sanch or Theo could take Giroud's spot. So much Arsenal, so many problems.
