The ScoutCast – Episode 238 – Spooked

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.

      I think they’re good transfers, I don’t like morays but would take him over Jesus right now, with sane as well you have a lot of rotation risk in the team and at least morata plays every week

      Moreno the better pick of the two, although I think Robertson will get a run at some point.

      Liverpool keep clean sheets at home, Bournemouth don’t keep them anywhere. Plus Moreno is 0.3 cheaper.

      Thanks for the feedback all.

      I personally think Moreno, comfortably.

      Liverpool a better side by a mile and Moreno having those players in front of him gives massive potential for attacking returns. And he's cheaper.

      Strange though, I was expecting a Daniels whitewash, people seem to love him on here!

    Remember when people were getting in Fuchs around this time last season? I hope Daniels puts in a similar performance.

      There are parallels. Leicester weren’t keeping clean sheets back then and Bournemouth aren’t now. There’s lots of talk of attacking returns but clean sheets are you bread and butter with defenders and Bournemouth just aren’t keeping any.

      Team look OK, ideally you would want at least one of Aguero, Sterling, Sane though.

        I'm planning on WC after the break with Kun in mind! Could bring Sterling in for Silva this week though or is that a bit sideways?

          Sideways, would't do it for a hit.
