Visuals returned to the ScoutCast this week, as Granville and I cuddled up in a Google Hangout, with Jonty crashing in to form a ménage à trois.

Those of you who were on the site on Monday evening got the opportunity to join the sausage party via our You Tube channel. If you missed out, you can view the entire uncut version of the Hangout via the Hangout movie below.

If you prefer your ScoutCast in the regular, edited and polished audio format, you can of course get the goodness via this link or via the player below.

We’ll be looking to book ourselves in for future Hangouts every Monday evening – cropping up again next week prior to Tuesday’s deadline. Subscribe to our You Tube channel to get prior warning and look out for the dedicated Hot Topic on Monday.

The Hangout

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

    Jakupovic – Pantilimon
    van Aanholt – Coloccini – Wollscheid – Clyne – Zouma
    Hazard – Sánchez – Silva – Boyd – Cazorla
    Defoe – Agüero – Kane

    2 FT, £1.8m in the bank.

    a) Sell PVA
    b) Sell Zouma
    c) Sell Defoe

          Good fixture this week. Nailed on. Useful part of a defensive squad going forward and a perfect home/away rotation with Wollscheid. No-one sensible would expect to play a 4.3 defender every week. Lots to like.

            Not sure it will be that bad. Reckon most of my mini leagues will get him anyway so all will be in same boat.

            If you're leading it's kind of handy.

    Hi everybody, I hope the DGW permutations aren't doing people's heads in too much! I'd be really grateful if you could please RMT:

    Panti / Krul
    Terry / Bellerin / Clyne / Wisdom / TVA
    Cazorla / Mane / ADM / Shelvey / Hazard
    Aguero / Defoe / Kane

    2 FTs, £2.2m in the bank.

    I was thinking of keeping TVA and shipping out Wisdom for one of Wollscheid/Dawson/Naughton. Any suggestions?

    I have two FTs - if I use one of them this GW, does that mean I will be bumped up to two FTs next GW?

    Thanks a lot. 🙂

        Yup. I've taken Sunderland and West brom as my back 6. Reason being, Pulis is a clean sheet master and Poyet likes to defend deep. It is wiser to spread it, but I believe having this would give a better odds of points. It has really helped my rank this season. Captain will most definitely be Aguero as I firmly believe he'll come out with at least an assist out of Anfield.

    Dawson or McAuley?

    Is this the week to do something bold with transfers? I have 11 starters already assuming PVA plays however Giroud is possibly under threat of rotation and Silva has a tough away fixture. I'm considering doing something a bit mental and using both FT's to move them on. Perhaps even Hazard could be sold? Anyone out there considering doing something drastic?

      I believe your choice should relate to what you want to achieve.

      If you are leading a ML by a mile - no need... (my case)

      If you want to keep a great rank - no need...

      If you want to make serious ground and possibly climb well up the rankings, this may well be the GW to do it. Many will not field 11 or even 10 and already have taken hits, the timing is excellent.

        I want to finish as high as possible so I'm considering taking a chance. Whether this is the week to take the chance though is also debatable. It might be more worthwhile to have 2FT's after the blank and DGW to mix it up then.

          As I see it the DGW players are seriously limited, Kane / Austin / Eriksen - perhaps Chadli or a Spurs DEF.

          Most will be going for a combo of those. Perhaps use a FT this week on a "gamble" and then have 2 for DGW?

          How about WHU - could smash Palace? I don't see any other "stand-out" games that one could take a spin on.

          I also had a look at the top 10 teams and those guys are mostly well set not to take hits at all.

            I'm not interested in the DGW either. I'm basically going to get Eriksen and thats it. Might save the other FT and optimise its use the following GW when most people will only have 1FT to use.

    hi guys, shall i save or take care of either Gayle/PVA for this GW:

    Krul
    Haidara/Jones/Clyne
    Boyd/Cazorla/Sanchez/Silva
    Kun/Defoe/Gayle

    Subs: Pants - PVA/Haz/Terry

    If both PVA and Gayle miss out then i only have 10 players (btw pls don't ask me why i still have Gayle)

    Possible options:
    1] PVA --> one of Naughton/Wolly/Reveillere
    2] Gayle --> FWD max. 5.4 which is only crap i.e. Naismith, Barnes
    3] Save

    1 FT, 0.4 ITB

    Thanks lads

    Poyet on PVA's chances of wknd return: "If Man U play a diamond then he’s very important because there’s space down the sides. We’ll see."

    What should we make of this?
    He's not going to know what formation utd are playing, so how can he decide based on that?
