The ScoutCast – Episode 237 – Catnap

Pep sunk his teeth into our Gameweeks, while an old moggy took a chunk out of my partner’s arm, depriving me of my appearance on this week’s ScoutCast. I’m not sure which was more painful.

At the mercy of the local A&E, Jonty, Andy and Az became my other emergency service as they stepped up on this latest episode.

Inevitably, Guardiola’s Man City teamsheet dominates your questions and the ensuing chatter. Elsewhere the boys re-appraise Kane after his Wembley haul, revisit Liverpool with their fixtures about to swing and consider whether the heavy-hitting midfielders are poised for a renaissance ahead of Gameweek 10.

As far as I know, I’ve edited out all the “pussy” jokes.

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

    I have done two transfers (yesterday):
    Mhiki > Silva
    Ritchie > Richarlison

    With Kane news I now want to use Free Hit Chip.

    Next week, will I have Mhiki and Ritchie back?
    Will I have 2FT again?

    Being on a WC this week is becoming hilarious. Went into the week with the idea of the big three up top and they've slowly withered away. Morata out of form, Aguero a serious chance of not starting and Kane now injured.

    Stoke City injury update:

    “We will obviously take a look at him (Crouch) this morning and then make a decision.”

    Hughes also confirmed Bruno Martins Indi would once again miss out after sustaining a hamstring injury during the home loss to Chelsea last month.

    “Bruno is still unavailable, but apart from that, we are ok - we have a few bumps and bruises, but nothing serious.”
