The ScoutCast – Episode 236 – Pepped

Restored to a five-strong squad, this week’s ScoutCast is still resonating from the shock of Man City’s seven-slice goal pie, served up by Pep at the expense of Stoke City.

That avalanche of goals and points fell into the laps of two of the ScoutCast crew, as Jonty and Andy bask in their post-Pep Wildcard success.

Others weren’t so fortunate, as we tell the tale of an unfortunate 11-point refresh and Az’s 32-point Gameweek misery that has since sparked his own Wildcard activity.

City dominate the community questions driving this 90-minute episode, while we also revisit the Harry Kane debate, fuelled by his latest Wembley misfire.

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

    Nearly forgot there was an early deadline. Slowly becoming a casual.

    Granny is back!

    1. Sánchez

      Rooney getting his wallet out

  3. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Koeman should be sacked

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Agree. Time for come changes. Made trouble for himself with a terrible transfer window. Everton are lacking pace and fighting spirit

    2. goriuanx

      Big Sam holding out for the Everton job.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Wants the USA job apparently.

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      They lack Giroud

    4. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Where is Leon Osman when u need him?

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Should never have been given a job in England after the professional foul on Platt and then scoring the free kick that stopped England going to the World Cup in ‘94.

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        In fairness we had Les Ferdinand and Dion Dublin up top

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Both would get in the England squad now. I miss the late 90’s when we had so much strength in depth for strikers that the likes of Andy Cole and Robbie Fowler couldn’t make the team.

  4. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Over here lads

  5. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I have both kolasinac and rooney. Should I wish for arsenal cs or rooney goal?

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney goal

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney goal because his ownership is probably lower than Arsenal defence.

  6. Champione
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    2 FT, 0.0 ITB. Suggestions?

    Fabianski
    Davies Cedric Cresswell
    Silva Sterling Ritchie Shaqiri
    Kane Lukaku Morata (C)

    Elliot Monreal Mbemba King

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ritchie - RLC

      Cedric - jones

      1. Champione
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Ritchie > RLC is an option. Won't get rid of Cedric though

        1. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Cressy to Jones then

          I have Cedric, he’s nothing in Jones

          1. Champione
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Jones probably won't play and Cresswell has the nicest fixture of the season. Thanks for the suggestions though 😉

            1. Robe Wan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              He probably didn’t play in the last two games either

              Cresswell plays for West Ham 😉

              1. Champione
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                Time will show 😀

          2. jackhammer1
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            I'd save one transfer for sure

            1. Champione
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              thanks, probably will.

  7. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Planning wildcard next international break. Any point in keeping Davies for next 3. 2 tough games and could be rotated now.

  8. jackhammer1
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Fabianski or Elliot??

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Think both will concede. On Fab atm. Think he'll get more saves

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Fab is the better option here

  9. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Might be a -12 incoming. Watch this space.

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Which players are you so desperate to bring in?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Silva, Sterling, Richarlison. Looking at getting rid of Bavies too plus another surprise move.

        1. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Spicy

        2. Champione
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Good long term picks. Agree, think it's time to look for replacement for Davies

  10. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    This episode was a classic, the way they out do each other drinking from various vessels off the main screen kills me.

    -But they're just drinking?

    Gold, absolute gold.

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure what those strange colour charts are behind Jonty's head

  11. liboo

    who to captain

    lukaku Debruyen Eriksen Sterling ?

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling or Lukaku. 50/50

    2. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku

    3. TheBusDriver

    Good to go?

    Forster

    Silva / Sterling / Salah / Xhaka
    Lukaku (c) / Kane / Vardy

    Elliot, Naughton, Carroll, Mbemba

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    How many times does Mark say 'it's difficult' during a scoutcast? It's difficult to keep count of it.

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It's difficult to say

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It's difficult to listen to

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      We just don't know yet.

  15. Dele

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Richarlison or Zaha?

    1. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Zaha

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'd go Richarlison myself

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        This

    3. Gizzachance

      richarlison

  16. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is this mad...

    Kolasinac -> Lascelles
    Davies -> Daniels
    Ritchie -> Sterling
    Vardy -> Morata.

    1. Aston-villain
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on cost...for free its ok

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        -12...

      2. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        lol

        1. Fernando Torres
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Why?

          Lascelles clean sheet, none for Kolasinac
          Davies won't play. Daniels might get CS
          Ritchie < Sterling and Morata > Vardy.

          1. TheBusDriver
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Davies will play. Arsenal might get a CS and Newcastle might not.

          2. Francescoli
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            was laughing at the comment that said 'for free it's ok'. who has that many free transfers

            1. Fred54
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              WC?

            2. Aston-villain
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Sorry accidentally upvoted you...yes WC was the suggestion...lol

  17. JustPark

    Is Salah injured or something? He's dropping.

    1. Sizo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Think he's been close to dropping all week

  18. Aston-villain
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I would like to have Coutinho and Morata sooner rather than later, also considering Otamendi in for Davies, possibly save abit of cash and sort out the pathetic bench...would you guys make any changes now or just wait ??

    Would you keep ritchie another week or get Zaha?

      keep

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Keep. He was unlucky not to get an assist last week when he put Perez through and it took Ayoze two attempts to score past Forster.

    Been holding on to my WC for several gws now, but would you have risked going into GW9 with this lot?

    Forster / Elliot
    Bavies / Valencia / Monreal /Hegazi / Mbemba
    Sane / Sterling / Choupo / Brady / Fraser
    Kane / Lukaku / Chicha

    Bavies, Hegazi, Mbemba, Sane, Fraser and Chicha are all risking no or limited minutes...

    The Chihcarito news just makes it very difficult to not wc. Have missed a few price changes over the last few days, but still..

    WC?
