The ScoutCast – Episode 166 – Patsy

4,145 Comments
Share

It’s Jonty’s time to curry sympathy this week and he’s on the receiving end of a barrage of cyber-bullying from co-host Granville.

Determined to the belittle Jonty’s Wildcard performance following Callum Wilson’s hat-trick, Granville takes to Twitter before roasting him live on air on the ScoutCast. He seems to have totally missed the fact that I too sold on Wilson as part of my own Wildcard; I’m quite happy for Jonty to play Patsy on this one.

Jonty rolls with the virtual punches to join us as we look back on the Gameweek that saw all three of us refresh our squads. We score our Wildcards out of ten, before scanning the community for Gameweek tales in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, as we assess Pedro’s pedigree, the lure of Aleks Kolarov and the merits of a well-rounded squad in the light of the FPL chips.

This ScoutCast was first broadcast live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday. Be sure to subscribe to our channel for news of upcoming live Casts. You can view the broadcast in full via the larger player below but, if you prefer the edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the smaller player.

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

    After Soton and Pelle blanked again yesterday, is it wise to ship him out for a hit?

    Hazard + Pelle --> Costa + Coutinho?

    Was waiting for the Europa clash to assess but I couldn't follow the match. By checking the reviews, I think Pelle blanked again.

    Your opinion would be greatly appreciated..

      Haz and Pelle both good options this weekend. I'd save a FT rather than do those moves.

            Of course, should be a 'nobrainer' really.
            Then again if he's valued at 40m and chelsea are willing to overpay anyway, why not just put that 2m there and make the deal.
