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.

    I think my WC mids will be Haz - Oscar - Silva - Caz.

    Caz is a boring pick. My ML rival has him, and (c) last GW. I don't think Wally or Ozil will outscore him with The form he's in and all them pens.

    Anything you'd change?

            That's why I'm dropping an Ars defender. Easy to swap Oscar/Silva for Sanchez when he's back without making two transfers. Would love Bellerin though, 4.4 is amazing

        Not convinced by Theo's gametime personally (would prefer Ozil). Also I like the safety of 2 GKs with potential blanks DGWs coming up. May still tinker though until deadline, thanks for the feedback.

      Scout tweets should be your first port of call

        I saw the scout tweets on the front page. If he were out, I thought it would be on the first page rather than on the "more" section 😉

        But thanks.

      After being injured for 11 months I'm not confident that he can start 2 games in 4 days.

        Hence is there much point bringing him in now instead of Caz when Caz will surely start both

          Hence you have answered your own internal discussion.

          I bought Walcott happy for the goal and chance of start vs Spurs im considering the fact ill know if he will or wont play vs Leicester as a bonus but i totally get your opinion.

        Good point. But I have enough money in bank to wait for team news then transfer to anyone I want (i.e. Sanchez) if he doesn't play.

    Enjoying seeing all the Sanchez out posts. Might almost make him into a differential for me. And what a huge differential he would be!!

      Reminds me of having Costa (C) when everyone ditched him. Hopefully he'll make a miraculous recovery!
