The ScoutCast – Episode 230 – Harried

2,783 Comments

Two Gameweeks down and already the dilemmas are building; the siren song of the Wildcard button is calling.

Failing big hitters are the major bone of contention as Jonty, Andy and Luke join me for the second ScoutCast of the season.

We give our verdicts on Spurs talisman Harry Kane, while also assessing the fall-out from Manchester City and, in particular, the shot-shy Kevin De Bruyne.

Driven by another round of community questions, we also chew over The Pogba vs Mkhitaryan debate and the big Bournemouth bail out, before previewing Gameweek 3.

Oh, and after his ten point return on the Aaron Mooy investment, we wrestle to prevent Jonty dropping his name into the conversation at every opportunity. I think I counted two. That’s a win for everyone involved.

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.

    Mooy or Richarlison? Why?

    Thank you.

      Richarlison is probably worth the risk of Mooy is your other option.

          The money making wildcard schemes are long gone!

          Last few seasons the market has been so slow so makes no difference now for monies really. You might save .1 on a player dropping and then getting back if you wana keep but that looks about it

          There's no reason to wildcard that team. You'll need to deal with Gross and Stephens, eventually, but Firmino to Hernandez next week should give you the cash you need.

      Sterling replaced him and basically played just as far forward, so it hardly seems he was taken off because of the red card. He was completely absent in the first half and Pep needed a spark is how I read it.

              Think I'll hold then. Son will get game time and a few starts when champions league rotation kicks in.

              Midfield is:

              Ozil, Tadic, Ramsey, Sterling, Son.

            As Batigol said penalties are the deciding factor. Fair to say Mane/Salah receive little clean sheet points. Extra goal points for Mane/Salah for say 8 goals could be cancelled out with Firmino scoring two penalties
