No more no less. Three is the magic number.
In a week where we ponder shifting to a “power three” in our line-ups, the ScoutCast is reduced to its own Tri-force, as Jonty and Andy join me as part of a skeleton crew for this latest episode.
Don’t worry, somehow we still manage to string things out for 80 minutes. After all, there is much to discuss, not least the current emphasis on the big strikers and the demise of Bobby Firmino – the driving force behind my apparently ill-time Wildcard.
Talking of which, with Jonty’s own Wildcard booked in for the international break, he eagerly assesses the forthcoming “fixture swing” that promotes investment in Man City and Chelsea, among others.
Elsewhere your community questions guide us to examine the latest optimum formation and to check in with “piggy bank” Marcos Alonso’s after his cruel 58th-minute withdrawal in the Potteries.
This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

6 years, 8 months agoHi all. Considering to wildcard over the IB.
Begovic (Elliot)
Jones Cedric Davies (Stones Mason)
Mkhi Ramsey Alli Brady (Carroll)
Kane Jesus Firmino
Which route would you go?
1) Wilcard over the IB and spend my free transfer for GW7 on:
a) Lacazette for Jesus
b) Bellerin/Kolasinac for Stones and bench Brady
2) Save transfer and do e.g. Silva + Morata for Alli + Firmino ahead of GW8
Cheers
