The ScoutCast – Episode 238 – Spooked

2,808 Comments
Share

Whether it’s Pep’s rotation, Jonty’s runaway facial hair or a rogue horse in Andy’s front garden, the ScoutCast crew are decidedly spooked in this week’s Halloween episode.

Downed by a bout of Labyrinthitis – which is as nasty as it sounds – I’m forced to duck out as Jonty, Andy, Granville and Az run riot.

Your community questions help to keep them in check, forcing the quartet to once again assess City rotation, while giving views on Chelsea’s big-hitters, a Foxes revival and a slew of budget defenders.

Jonty rolls out his “ghouls imminent” table, while Andy unknowingly mocks my affliction from afar with back-to-back ear puns; in between they preview the weekend’s action to reveal their captain and transfer picks.

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.

              Depends on the hit and on the universe providing for you. This season the universe seems to have been providing for more aggressive moves than normal, but I could just be bitter and misguided.

        Just kidding - make unlimited transfers for no cost, for that one week, then your team reverts to how it was previously, once the free hit gameweek is finished. Price changes act in accordance with your original team.

      It’s a one week wildcard and the next week your team goes back to what it was before you used the free hit, looks like it’s best to be used in BGW or DGW

      Yes but isn't there anyone else you could downgrade instead of Vardy? He'll probably score at the weekend

    Not sure if it's been pointed out already .........in the RMT section my team is showing up as the team I took a free hit for and not original team . Was about to use it to plan out transfers for few weeks. Annoying ......

        Yeah just said I'd point it out as a lot of people prob haven't used chip yet so FFS may not be aware of the issue
        Needs sorting

      Has anyone tried using the RMT tool the week after taking the Free Hit?
      Does it then show the restored squad, or does it still show the free hit squad?
      That might possibly be another problem if it gets the squad by using the link from the latest game-week in the team's Season History.
