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.

      D definitely with an instant rise, Deeney is dropping tonight and Wilson rising.

      Mertesacker could bring you a CS this week, Sinclair is not that bad, Ramsey practically scored last GW which leaves you with the logical Deeney (mci) to Wilson (LEI)

      I can't say I have the same confidence in Agüero, so putting the armband on Kolarov!

          That's been around, as a philosophy, since I was a kid. If the criminals have guns, the answer is guns for non-criminals. Crazy. It's rooted, I think, in the American sense that we have always been able to solve problems by "kicking ass". It's a deep cultural problem in my view.

              To stick to the logic, small, lithe, technical forwards should carry guns to deal with, say, Shawcross.

      Depay -> Yaya; Touré most baps scored until now and will get even more with those fixtures.

          It's a must watch. The American he interviews who is pro guns gets absolutely schooled to the point where he starts making John's points for him - it's hilarious.

          It's so good I'm going to watch it again right now.

      Yaya is about the FPL version of gun control. He inflames the passions of many a FPL manager. The mere mention of his name in some circles will get a scream of "CASUAL" thrown at you.

      The leader of my mini-league is comfortably camped within the top 1000 and he has had Yaya captain all three weeks. That may make him a casual but I would gladly sell my soul for that ranking about now.

      So it may bring a pox upon my future children and myself, but my suggestion is Yaya.

      Silva as long as KDB transfer doesn't go through before Saturday. I think there's genuine risk of Silva & KDB rotating especially when City have mid-week games.

        Did you see the game on Monday? I think backing Arsenal for CS is risky right now with the injuries to Mert and Kosc.

        Backing Chelsea is also a risk. Just looking at the Arsenal Vs. Chelsea game, Chelsea have an easy game at home in the UCL that week, whereas Arsenal will have travelled to Croatia and back for a key match (considering the quality of their group). I'd back Chelsea in that individual game.

    Myhill

    Kompnay, Targett, Richards

    Silva Sanchez Mahrez Payet

    Kun(C) Wilson Gomis

    Hows the bench order? Dramian and Gomez hard to bench
