The ScoutCast – Episode 191 – Penultimate

One more Gameweek. One more ScoutCast. The final whistle has almost blown on a remarkable season but we’re determined to fully exploit the final throws.

I’m joined by Jonty, Andy and Luke as we open a bumper 80-minute show with our dedication to Leicester City’s extraordinary title win. We then quickly shift to take on another raft of community questions as thoughts turn to Gameweek 37’s double fixtures.

We run the rule over the protagonists, assessing West Ham’s assets, Eden Hazard’s renaissance and even make an attempt to find a reason to make a late investment in Norwich City. Then necks are put on the block as we review the weekend fixtures, coming clean on our current double Gameweek transfer and captaincy plans.

The ScoutCast is first aired live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get a heads up on future broadcasts.

You can view the full Google Hangout version of this episode via the second player below or stream the edited audio from this link or the first player.

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

    Kane to:
    a) Sturridge
    b) Costa
    c) Carroll

    Leaning towards A currently.

      I might consider doubling w/ Valencia. If you don't have the extra .2 then PvA. Cuz Sunderland have to win means they may be vulnerable to goals, and no sheets. MU could easily play 0-0, or 1-0. IMO GL

          I believe most of the LIVteam will be rested as seen before, now that they're in finals even more so.

          I see more goals in LEI:EVE than LIV:CHE so I'd still let Coutinho go before Mahrez. But listen to your gut feeling. If you think Coutinho will get more points than Mahrez, you should go for it. I got rid of Coutinho because I'm tired of this rotation nonsense.

          Good luck, whatever you choose to go for.

          No worries - I'm not convinced by Norwich either.

          Tbh mate looking at your team you should probably think about getting another defender in alongside PvA and Bellerin, and then perhaps sacrificing one of Kane or Aguero for Carroll to maximise points. Maybe Kane --> Carrol and then Delaney --> Cresswelll/Reid?

          I am trying to get rid of Coutinho as you've seen but have the defender to cover off that area in Toby.

    Morning ladies and gents!

    Liverpool last night has led me to strongly consider rolling the dice on Hazard in for Coutinho rather than the more sensible option of a sgw defender out for Cresswell.

    Leaves me with this team:

    Robles*
    Toby Bellerin PvA*
    Hazard* Payet(TC)* Townsend Lanzini*
    Deeney* Kane Lukaku*

    Darlow / Sanchez Morgan Gabby

    (-4; Alli out for Payet and Coutinho out for Hazard)

    Good to go we reckon? Am 23 points ahead (well 19 after hit) in ML so don't want the -8!

    Thanks in advance 🙂

      Really good team already, clear weakness is Coutinho and Lallana both in the team. As Lallana played the full 90 vs. Villlareal he's marginally less likely to feature vs. Watford so you have to assume he's the man who should go.

      Can you afford Lallana --> Fab?

      I'd also consider playing Bellerin vs. City. No Kompany for them, Arsenal beat them at the Etihad last year and also they will be quite tired after the UCL. Full backs will rotate so Bellerin will get space in behind a perpetually marauding Kolarov.

      Hope that helps!

                    I'm worried you've realised I'm your rival and are now giving me bad advice! 😉

                    I was thinking Khazri too - so few options in Mid now for DGW!

                    Oh god, so it's now between Willian/Lennon/Brady/Redmond/Khazri - we are getting further away!

                      Hmm, which of those instinctively makes sense for you?

                      If it helps, I have no ****ing idea what to do betweeen:
                      a) removing Coutinho for Hazard
                      b) removing Kane for Carroll

                      Really don't want to take the -8 to facilitate it but might gamble.

                        I think Willian or Lennon have the greatest potential so I reckon it will be one of those!

                        Out of your 2 options I would feel more comfortable doing a - I guess you have Payet and maybe Cresswell from WHAM already? Also Kane nailed on and has a tasty GW38 whereas Coutinho might only play 1 of final 3 games...

                        True. But I don't think I'm able to resist Carroll here, his record against Swansea is crazy.

                        Think I'm going to get the big man in, and might even do the -8 tbh.

                        Is it one option for a -8 or both for a -8? If both then yeh why not, I've done similar already with Ageuro>Carroll and Alli>Hazard.

                        I'm going crazy - just considered getting Ibe in as Lallana replacement!

                        Mate I've just gone for it and done the -8 - can't decide so why not do both in a dgw.

                        Maybe I will just get Townsend as he could get a brace vs Villa... did you have Deeney for his Villa haul?

    Robles (Darlow)

    Mahrez Townsend Coutinho Payet (tc) (Sanchez)
    Rashford Aguero Kane

    Bellerin Fuchs VanAan Dawson Fosu-Mensah
    Payet Mahrez Iwobi Sanchez COutinho
    Aguero Rashford Defoe

    Asking a bit much I imagine but any inkling in the slightest what chances Milner has of playing enough in the double to make it worth playing him ahead of Sanchez?

    Milner (WAT, CHE) is probably better than Sanchez (mci)

    Milner (CHE) changes the equation somewhat...

        Yeah...I'm hoping his injured players slow him down. Wondering if I should take a 4 or 8 point though to bring in some more double game week players like Aguero/Kane > Defoe/Deeney, Firminio/Lanzini > Hazard/Fabregas, Sahko > Van Aanolt/Ivanovic. What do you think? The main problem is picking players that do not play each other...

          Wouldn't go near him. He plays a holding CM role now pretty much, never goes into the box. Rarely even shoots now, occasionally goes for the 30 yard shot but he's never in the box so no imo.
