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.

    Cheap third striker debate, members area stats (either last 2 or 4gws) actualy favour Diouf more than Abraham or DCL or Joselu. Perhaps theres not much difference in player stats between Diouf and Tammy, but team stats are strongly on the side of Stoke (attacking wise).

    What am I missing, why isnt Diouf the preffered option?

        So'ton are a better team than Swansea but Burnley are better defensively

      Both are due a goal... But Mee had to be favourite of those two

    Anyone bench DDG for Elliot? I know he got 18 points against Liverpool and Spurs, but I am pretty sure Chelsea would do anything to beat Mou at Stamford.

      Is tempting but DDG liable to get at least save points...

      DDG in at the moment but if it looks like Bavies is benched (with Jones coming in via autosub) then I'll bench DDG for Elliot. Not sure I want two MUN defenders at Stamford Bridge.

      DDG every week without exception. Just forget about the keeper position.

    How's this lot looking? Had to take a few hits to get there, but thinking it's well setup for next few weeks :

    DDG
    Jones, Naughton, Moreno
    Salah, Zaha, Richarlison, GroB
    Kun, Kaku, Kane(c)
    (Elliott, Mee, Dunk, RLC)

        Thinking Moreno will either start or not play at all so Mee could come in. If Moreno starts id fancy him to maybe notch some sort of attacking returns... Although Mee might be a better shout cheers

      Delicious. Prefer Fernandez instead of Naughton but otherwise it's absolutely mouthwatering.

      Both but Lukaku is priority as at least he's nailed on and United have (NEW, BRI) in a row..

    DDG/Elliot
    Stones/Daniels/McGuire/Mee/Lascelles
    Salah/DSilva/Sterling/GroB/Davis
    Kane/Abraham/Firmino

    Would be playing a 343 this week so happy for Davis to sit on bench with a view to upgrade to Richarlison next week.

    However, thinking about possibly getting spurs defensive cover in.
    Worth a -4 this week?

    Aguero (C) Diouf Lukaku

    Subs:Pope, Monreal, Mariappa & Stanislas
