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 “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.

    I am considering using my bench boost this week.

    My current starting 11 are

    Myhill

    Darmian Kolorov Richards

    Silva Ritchie Sanchez Depay Mahrez

    Gomis Aguero

    Subs
    McCarthy(che) Targett (NOR) Francis (LEI) Watmore

    I have 1 free transfer not used yet. I could sell Watmore and buy Wilson (LEI) as I have some funds itb

    I usually play 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 so 2 defenders are usually on my bench. I do not think I will have fixtures as kind for my 3 outfield players again.

    Any Thoughts?

      Downgrade Shak to 4.5, upgrade Diouf to Tekkers.

      Template, but for good reason 😉

          I do rate him, just not 8 attackers that give you a benching headache every week. Invariably you'll bench the wrong one which will break your will eventually.

      Get a cheaper 5th midfielder and then you don't have a benching dilemma? Otherwise, jump on the Wilson bandwagon as he is cheaper and also has great fixtures and you have Shaqiri to take advantage of Stoke's fixtures.

      Tough but i would say one of Diouf/Willson on the bench,or play Diouf and Shaq on the bench.

      Diouf is on form and has WBA at home. Im currently on him in my wildcard with cash in bank to jump on best Arsenal player as it becomes clearer.
