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.

    Was probably asked a lot pre season, but haven't seen any posted, so I'm going to ask away...

    Has anyone got the data for the points breakdowns for players, each GW last season?

    Seem to remember having something like this a season or so back, wondering if such a thing still exists?

    Cheers!

        Imminent ? Should have planted at least one of them.

        He's not a goalscorer, never has been in this league, unfortunately. Assister or the assister's assistant. I'm amazed that opposing defences don't get tight on him outside the box. Gunner's defence was overly geberous on Monday. A great shot from distance with some space but not a goalscorer for me. Hope he makes me eat my words.

        Thankfully though he's one hell of if a footballer 🙂

    Clinton Njie may have to wait to make his Tottenham debut after Mauricio Pochettino stated it would be a “big risk” to start the new signing against Everton on Saturday due to a lack of fitness.

    The Cameroon international attacking midfielder, who has arrived from Lyon, was paraded in front of the crowd at White Hart Lane before the home game against Stoke almost two weeks ago.

    However, the 22-year-old missed last week’s trip to Leicester and may not be involved against Everton this weekend either.

    “I think it’s difficult, because he was injured in pre-season with Lyon and it’s true that his fitness levels are not yet [right],” said Pochettino. “I think it’s a big risk if he starts [this weekend].”

    On the other hand, Pochettino reports that left-back Danny Rose is fully fit, having been on the bench for the last two league games, with Ben Davies playing instead.

    “Danny Rose is fully fit, yes,” said Pochettino. “He had a problem after Real Madrid in Munich but now he’s ok, he’s fully fit.”

      United selling Pogba, he's the exact player United have needed for a decade.

      B because although they're both equality, Pogba has Ballon D'or potential imo

      B. Although they didn't actually sell him, they only received some small compensation for a player leaving their youth academy at the end of the contract, but basically it was a free transfer.

    Gomis vs Diouf.

    Diouf seems to be in just as good a form as Gomis with better fixtures and leaves more in the bank? No brainer?

      Disagree.

      Gomis in a VERY inform team. Supported by quality, that Stoke cannot match.

      I have Gomis and Wilson, although can afford Diouf (£ITB)

    Choose two out of four! (I'm in quite the mess, yes!)

    Mertesacker --> Kolarov (losing Arsenal defense coverage)
    Sinclair --> Mahrez
    Ramsey --> Yaya Touré (losing Arsenal midfield coverage)
    Deeney --> Wilson
