The ScoutCast – Episode 237 – Catnap

26 October 2017 3726 comments

Mark

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.

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.

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.

With Kane out, I am forced to start rlc tomorrow.

Is rlc to zaha/ choupo/ gros worth a hit?

Thanks

Anyone else leaving Kane in the XI just in case?

Then all rivals will gasp when RLC trumps up from the bench with his goal and bonus.

Already on -8pts so tempted to just let him get auto-subbed and the best of my bench is .....RLC

SO question is - Let RLC come on (playing WHU at Home) or take another -4pts and trf Kane > Morata?

Now that your 1st bencher is playing (Kane owners), do you have anyone good left?

I'm staring down at a Naughton and Mbemba alliance, which isn't wonderful knowing that City rotate like demons.

  The perils of early transfers. You might save the cash, but is it worth it in the long run.

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.”

  I mulled all week, but some posters here spoke good sense on Duffy. Goal attempts, touches in the box, baps and a generally defensive team. Him or a Burnley defender I think.

Bottomed!

Forster (Elliot)
Jones - Otamendi - Kolasinac - Davies (Long)
Mkhi - Brady/Atsu - Silva (Brady/Atsu, RLC)
Firm - Kaku - Kane

What to do here guys? Worth doing Mkhi+Firm+Kane -> Salah, Jesus, Diouf for a -4?
Will have the money ITB to buy Kane back next week.
