We were dressed for success, but success it never comes.

Suited and booted, we crown the new season riding a wave of giddy optimism. The positivity flows on the eve of a new campaign which, on paper, looks destined to be one of the best in memory.

Granville makes a belated return to ScoutCast action to join Jonty, Andy and myself as we start to sift the seemingly endless array of options open to us on the new season player list.

It’s bewildering stuff but, guided by you, the community, we attempt to navigate all your pre-season questions before laying our own cards on the table.

It’s amazing to be back amongst it again. Let’s just hope the smiles stay as wide for the next episode.

he ScoutCast is first aired live on our YouTube channel on Thursday 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.

      Your bench is too weak. Spend the 1.5 on upgrading Grabban and Amat.

      Downgrade Mahrez to someone like Tadic and get a 6.5 fwd like gray or long? Just a suggestion though....

    Zlatans ownership scares me and I don't want to miss out on potential points but I'm assuming Vardy will outscore him this Gw?

    I have Mahrez already and no other Utd attacking cover but maybe it'll be worth changing and keeping 1.5m ITB?

      I don't like two 4.0 on the bench just because if you have an injury or suspension you'll more than likely be forced into making a transfer. Much prefer having bench options there to rotate
