The ScoutCast – Episode 218 – Three Kings

A trio of Josh Kings saved the Gameweek for the ScoutCast regulars, steering Jonty, Andy and myself to respectability, despite a scattering of ill-fated transfer hits. Meanwhile, AZ drops in with his own unique solution to the curtailed Gameweek 28, as he deals a controversial early Wildcard to help prepare for the choppy waters.

The Wildcard is a key focus of this week’s episode, as we extend our recent Hot Topic to the ScoutCast airwaves, arguing the optimum time to activate the most precious of chips.

Elsewhere, we spare a moment to weigh up the “essential” status of the aforementioned Cherries midfielder, consider the recent unrest surrounding Sanchez and Lukaku and discuss the fall-out from Kane’s twanged ankle.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

        West Brom look like they may blank in GW34 if their match is rearranged for GW37 (opinion is split around whether this will happen or not), is likely none of the others will blank. This is guesswork only though, so don't take this as gospel and await official news 🙂

            I was thinking Son over Alli but i prefer the guarantee minutes of Alli over Son.
            Man city have been looking alot better at the back since Willy has been in goal. City's next 3 fixtures are poor but after that they have a great run until the end of the season, plus a dgw somewhere i feel he is a better long term pick the jaku

      Need a small advice. I'm looking at a cheap below 5 defender to replace Brunt. Other defenders are Valencia, Olsson, Mori, Pieters.

      Looking at minimum 5 gameweeks ahead, which is a better bet?

      A) Holebas - Plumb home fictures plus attacking threat
      B) Ben Davies - Mixed fixtures from CS point of view with easiest games are towards the end of that 5 week period and Rose will be back by then?

      When is Rose expected anyway?

        The liverpool game will have plenty of goals and sterling and sane will be amongst it. Longer term I would only keep one of those (tough call who to keep though. Sane if you're chasing I reckon) and swap for Siggy who is currently Mr Reliable.

        I'd get rid of Lanzini for King as well tbh
