The ScoutCast – Episode 203 – Phoenix

We can’t quite call it a comeback but it’s progress.

Jonty’s radical solution to help solve his nosediving season was to throw off the shackles of his traditional dullard ways and start taking transfer hits.

It’s working, a 74-point Gameweek is enough to get him back and track and edging towards unlikely respectability. Like a Phoenix, dusting himself down and now pondering a rise from the ashes.

Personally, I’m not sure what’s more puzzling, Jonty’s struggles this season or Andy’s determination to cling to Zlatan Ibrahimovic like some muscular, ponytailed comfort blanket. At least Granville was wise enough to get rid after the Swede failed him yet again.

In this latest ScoutCast, we tackle Jonty’s reversal of fortune and Andy and Granville’s Zlatan woes, before embarking on another round of questions from you, the community.

The Gundoganwagon, Valencia replacements and looming doubts over the Arsenal teamsheet dominate the chatter.

          They should've never hired de Boer, whatever you think about him as a coach (i don't rate him), he needs time, and he was never going to get it there, or anywhere else in Italy.

    Every week I plan to get rid of Ibra.
    But every week he seems to have an "easy" fixture.
    And every week he trolls me.

    So Ibra + Son -> Austin + Hazard for a -4?

    Maybe throw in a Fletch -> Gündogan for an extra hit because that's how I roll?

            This sound advice. I have Lallana too and I am a bit concerned by his output. But his pre-injury form was great and their fixtures are too. I'm going to let him sit in my team for a while and use transfers elsewhere. Hopefully he'll pick up.

    Gooooooooooooooooooooooood morning one and all! How are we on this fine Friday morning?

    I'm after a bit of advice from you knowledgeable lot. This is how I'm lining up with 0.1m itb and 1 FT:

    Heaton
    Mustafi - Lovren - Holebas
    Firmino - Coutinho - Sterling - Chadli*
    Aguero - Ibra - Austin

    Pickford* - Capoue* - Baines* - Amat*

    * = Not players I'd like off the bench, dropped or injured

    Originally I was going to save the transfer but I don't think I can now. What are the best options?

    Here's 2 obvious ones I can see:

    Chadli to Gundogan / Allen
    Baines to Fuchs and play 4-3-3 (Chadli has really nice fixtures after the break if he's back for Burnley)

    Any thoughts welcome - injuries are annoying!

          True, you'd be counting on defensive returns only, but it's what you can do with the extra 0.5 if you need to to Fuchs. It would either be Fuchs or Simpson for me out of those two, and if you don't need the money the Fuchs

      I thought you were too stubborn to bring in Allen? 😉

      I think Baines had to go to be honest. He would be my nanin concern. I'm surprised you've kept him so long.

      Baines to Fuchs is a good call if you really want to keep Chadli but are we sure he definitely returns after the IT Break?

      Doubt Chadli will be back for 90 mins by Burnley. Left field choice I was thinking of was Steven Davis (but I joined the Gun bandwagon instead at last minute).

      Ibra has to go. That's too much money being wasted on someone who isn't doing the business.

      Either downgrade to Costa or Lukaku and see if you can splash the cash elsewhere next week.

      I myself brought in Fuchs (bit worried after Schmeichel injury) and Allen (think Gundo bangwagon will be shorter lived) for a -4 (Valencia and Snodgrass injuries forced my hand).

        Problem is that Ibra to Lukaku or Costa doesn't give me enough money to spend on upgrading Chadli to someone I'd like.

        If Walcott was guaranteed fit that might be an option but otherwise Hazard is still far out of reach

      It's cute that you think it will actually play out like this. In reality you'll end up taking a -8 in GW12 due to international injuries, followed by an Aguero to Rondon move in GW13 or something ridiculous because Aguero has been suspended for punching Pep and Rondon scored a hat trick the week before.
