The ScoutCast – Episode 166 – Patsy

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 β€œRough 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.

    Wilson ... Get him or ignore ?

    I have Diouf & Gomis at the moment.

    Selling Diouf (WBA) seems not a good idea, so it's Gomis who I bought at 7.0m and now 7.3m

    Will Wilson (LEI, nor, SUN, sto, WAT) significantly outscore Gomis (MUN, wat, EVE, sot, TOT) ?

      If you have those two already ignore him.

      IMO every attack should be Aguero + 2 of Tekkers/Gomis/Diouf/Wilson at the moment, but don't sweat too much over which two you have.

        Thank you. I haven't watched Wilson & Bournemount much and not sure how they are.

        I guess Ranieri will park the bus and do the counter.

        That might limit Wilson's chance .... or not.

          He looks good, but he was gifted at least two of those three goals. There's a reason everyone was selling him before this weekend, his fixtures haven't changed since then!

            I guess he has penalty duty in the pocket now. The last goal should be produced by team efforts rather than a surprise gift.

            For the 2nd goal, I agree that it was really a gift. Premier League DF would not do something like that often. It's not because of pressure from Bournemouth.

            Anyway, I think I can somehow come up with many good reasons to support Gomis -> Wilson. But I do agree that I might wait on this and continue watching if Wilson is the real deal.

      If Sakho doesn't play, your sub will take place and give you points.

      Anyway, it depends on your feeling.

      A: How bad will you feel if Wilson do nothing this week and return 2 points after a hit to get him ?
      B: How bad will you feel if Wilson really do something this week and you did not get him ?

      If you think you will feel bad with B rather than A, I would do that trade.

    My 3 step criteria I think to pulling an early WC in the international break:

    + Depay blanks
    + Hazard blanks
    + Arsenal or Man U sign somebody you can't ignore

    The two players above are fantastic players but I don't think I could stomach potential double price falls over the two weeks. Furthermore there'll be the catch 22 of not wanting to use FTs at the start of the international break because I just know if I do that, whoever I get in will get injured in their internationals.

    Patience.

    Resist the temp of price rise.

    Pretend like you never know it.

    Let's play for points rather than price.

    Telling myself to keep hold on Gomis & Diouf and do not transfer Wilson in.

      Everyone seems so sure Swans are going to do a number on United that I can't help but feel it's a shutout in waiting. I also know Wilson is bound to fail this week, which means he probably won't just to troll us. With that in mind - do it πŸ˜€

        With Wilson's potential price rise, I have about 10 minutes more to resist the force.

      I don't think that's crazy at all.

      haha..

      The first part is possible. But not the second part.

      If he got another 0.1 by tomorrow, the best he can be is 5.9 by next Gameweek deadline.

      Or Huth breaking his leg in the 10th minute leaving everyone in despair.
