The ScoutCast – Episode 161 – Kahunas

This week’s episode of the ScoutCast certainly doesn’t lack “Kahunas” but it does go without my nasal tones.

Another bout of man-flu got the better of me this week but, rather than can the episode, I allowed the lunatics to take over the asylum and run this nonsense without me. Granville and Jonty rise to the occasion, ably abetted by this week’s star guest, Jack Wain – previously number two in the world and still part of the pack giving chase to former guest, Simon March.

Jack makes his appearance just as his gutsy gamble to ignore the sure-fire Sergio Aguero captaincy backfires. Granville and Jonty analyse his brave fall from grace, while quizzing our FPL luminary on the Gameweek 37 double and the great Eden Hazard dilemma, all courtesy of another round of questions from you, the community.

This week’s episode was beamed live via the magic of Google Hangouts on Tuesday evening. You can view that webcam wonder via the larger player below.

For the polished, directors cut audio version, you’ll be needing this link or the smaller player below.

          Someone posted some bookies odds that has a Saints CS more likely than a Benteke goal.
          Do they have one last clean sheet in them, and If they do it won't be away to City.

        My gut says Tekkers won't get much at St Mary's and if Villa are safe he might not play against Burnley, whereas Kane is due. Although as Spurs seem intent on avoiding Euopa you are probably right. Cheers

      Same decision here. Kane has a better fixture this week, but Benteke is in better form.

      If you think Tekkers will play the final game of the season, sell Kane. If you don't think he'll do anything in it, sell him

        Feckin guy is a nightmare

        Could be worth it if you have no other pressing matters in your teams.

      I would fancy owning Silva. Although Swansea are clearly in good nick, I am not sure they will get so up for City as they did against Arsenal, and City look like they are going to start playing now the title is lost. It's a minor punt though.

        Nice idea actually, just seems hard to own a Newcastle player right now for obvious reasons.

    Was thinking, Sterling to Gomez....worried about Ramsbags not starting, and Bellerín's gametime over the 2 games.

    Your thoughts, musings, recommednations etc greatly appreciated.

      I reckon Ramsey will play both games, but may not start both (if the injury is genuinely just a knock, his odds are probably pretty good). Bellerin hasn't played two games in a week this season AFAIK, so must be doubtful to start both.

      Suspect Ivan may not start, I think Terry will though.

    34 points behind rival, two weeks left.

    He has Sanchez, Ozil and Bellerin, I have Sanchez, Ozil and Giroud.

    He will no doubt captain Sanchez, should I take a gamble and captain Giroud? Don't think I have enough in other parts of my team to close that gap.

      i would captain sanchez but bring in a couple of sunderland players.

      hope you close the gap to around 20 or so and then differential captain in the last week. otherwise he will just pull away this week
