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.

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.

    David Silva to Sterling or Sané, or not worth the risk?

      If Davies has recovered from his illness, I would expect him to play.

      Rose has played 10 minutes, looks a little on the "heavy" side and previously fell out with Poch. I don't see him starting against Liverpool.

    Really thought Salah was going to drop last night so sold him on the WC so I could pick him up for cheaper.
    He didn't drop and now I have egg on my face.
    Talk about overthinking the game!! /rage

      But why sell him for 9.1 (9.2 value) if you're going to buy back for 9.1 once he's dropped?

      Because his selling value would have gone back down to 9.0 a loss of 0.1m

        But if he's buying him back that's irrelevant. SV doesn't affect buying price.
        9.2 (sold at 9.1) - drop to 9.1 = buying at 9.1 = no gain

      Actually I can follow the logic now - if he later rises to 9.3 you stand to benefit if bought at 9.1

      Definitely overthinking! 🙂 if it helps he'll probably blank and then drop ready for next GW...
