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.

    Worked myself into a right old pickle chaps, any thoughts welcome...

    Which moves to make to get a bit of Spurs coverage?

    A) Kane and Salah in for Lukaku and Hazard
    B) Eriksen and Sturridge in for Lukaku and Silva
    C) Kane and Zaha (or another £7.4M midfielder) in for Lukaku and Silva

    My team is currently:

    Elliot

    Monreal // Mee // Stones

    Hazard // Silva // Sterling // Sanchez

    Vardy // Lukaku // Calvert-Lewin

    (Krul // T Carrol // Mariappa // Mbemba)

        I'm loathe to part with Eden because he's just starting to heat up, so perhaps Sanchez should be the one heading for the door.

    Any thoughts about these...

    Play Foster instead of Elliot? WBA always relying defence when away, HUD not scoring much.

    Is it too risky to vc Aguero when captaining Kane? Should I vc Eriksen?

          ive been to marseille a fair few times and seen some games in the velodrome, they are some of the most passionate fans in the world. in terms of how they support their team, its akin to the neopolitans and napoli. every one in the city walks around with some kind of marseille shirt or merchandise, young and old.

    is Kane worth bringing in for a hit?
    Personally I think there's enough doubt about spuds performances in this type of match to risk it especially as I can see Firmino matching him

      They've just battered the European champions, leave him out at your peril.

      Fair enough. I got him in for a hit, but I am not sure if it was the right decision. He didn't look dangerous against Real Madrid, but Crystal Palace should (in theory) be easier of course.

        He didn't look dangerous? What game was you watching? He had the chances to score a brace and got an assist.
        Palace are no Madrid either
