The ScoutCast – Episode 228 – Countdown

The final countdown has begun with the new season kick-off now less than 24-hours away.

Earlier the week the ScoutCast grew gathered as the clock ticked down, with Jonty, Andy and Luke joining myself to tackle a raft of perfectly targeted questions from you – the community.

Each of us take turns to reveal our current line-ups, while the collection of queries allowed us to put each of the four positions under the microscope. On occasions, we even broke from the ScoutCast tradition to provide some definitive answers.

Pre-season gremlins struck as I dropped out in full flow on Paul Pogba, but I managed to return to steer the ship towards its final destination – the first weekend preview of the new campaign.

It’s good to be back.

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.

                    Then you should know he is not a winger. Rather he plays in central midfield. 7 of the 8 appearences he made for Juventus was in that position.

      As an owner I'm worried Dann is not 100% nailed on after last season and FdB stating he sees FM as the right centre back in their system. Common thought is Milivo goes back to his natural position as CM but what if FdB wants to keep Mili as CB because he wants all playing defenders (which Dann isnt)?

      Do you think FM could start in GW1 already???

          In my case, need all my big hitting midfielders, guaranteed minutes, as I only have 2. Mane more expensive so don't want 9.5 sitting out and he has just come back from injury so maybe more cautious with him.

    Hey guys, thoughts on this. Been set on this for quite a while:

    Forster (Elliot)
    Alonso(C) Kolasnic Bertrand Daniels (4.0)
    KDB Willian Zaha (Carroll Chalobah)
    Kane Lukaku J.Rod

    0.5 ITB too. Last minute thoughts ?

      Kola might concede in all first 3

      Will probably play at left centre back as well for now

      I'd change him

        Why would ARS concede to LEI at home and STK away?
