The ScoutCast – Episode 224 – Maths

You get your Wildcard active, and we’ll do the maths. Or rather Jonty will.

This week’s ScoutCast gets highly technical as my aforementioned co-host goes all Rachel Riley on us (wishful thinking) and attempts to bewilder with a cheeky little algorithm he’s just happened to have rustled up.

Attempting to cut through the noise of the forthcoming double Gameweeks, Andy and Luke join me while Jonty gives his numbers an airing via another round of your targeted queries.

We chew over Gabbiadini’s demise, assess the Gameweek 37 potential offered by Spurs and Chelsea and, yet again, make another assessment of a slumbering Sanchez.

The end result all leads to the ScoutCast Wildcard template squad, as Big Vic crashes in and Luke stands alone in shunning Arsenal’s Chilean timebomb.

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

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

    Need some quick answers here. What looks best?

    A. -8 this week and get Sanchez
    B. -4 this week, Sanchez next week in another -4
    C. Neither and take the -8 next week

    I can tell you that my team is good enough at the moment.

    I need to sacrifice one of Bailly or De Gea to fund Jesus. Any suggestions would be cool.

    De Gea
    Bailly Yoshida Gabriel Stephens Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard King Eriksen Sane
    Kane Gabbi

    De Gea > Jaku
    Or
    Bailly > 4.2 ( Maybe Fernandez )

    WC finalised - bit templatey but hard not to be - thoughts?

    Cech / Cabellero
    Cahill / Bavies / Holgate / Stephens / Robertson
    Alexis / Hazard / Alli / King / T Carroll
    Kane / Costa / Jesus

    Have 0.4 in bank - was tempted to go Daniels in for Bavies, but with Rose out for at least another week I'll stick with him.

    GTG?

        I had my finger over 'confirm' for Chambers > Cedric when I remembered exactly this.

        I have Yoshida and Stephens already, but I was torn between Forster and Cedric.

        Forster is the safer bet, but I'm 0.1 too short to get him. Could be a -8 to get him in.

    Do we think Valencia will start against Arsenal after playing Europa league with all the injuries? Can take a -8 and swap out for Monreal, Kosc, Cahill, Azpi, or DLuiz. I only ask because leading ML by 44 and nearest rival just took -8. Normally I wouldn't.
