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.

    Kdb to hazard for -4. Yes or NO?

    (I will probably get him back for for Lanzini the week after.)

      It all depends on which situation you are in. Chasing or defending lead? How many points?
      It's a pretty good move, I think....and it's only -2 if he plays both matches (60 min), so in that aspect, why not?

    Seriously....what are the chances for Sturridge playing both matches in the DGW? I'm afraid he won't, and LVG hints at rotation too now, which puts Martial in another light. Thinking of keeping both Kun and Kane, but just not sure.

    Ideas?

      Not insane no, but bare in mind Hazard didn't start last week, so may only start one out of the two AND Deeney hadn't scored in about 9 weeks prior to his two goals against one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

    How is Lukaku top of the 6 week projections table?! Maximum of 2 points in each of the last 7 games.

    Surely the table needs updating?! Carroll is only predicted 3.8 points over the DGW.

        I know that is entirely possible, but if the projections tables are based on form etc. then there's no way he should be top. He's been awful as have Everton and they're playing the Premier League champions.
