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.

      Doesn’t seem to affect him much. Coutinho is obviously a quality player but I’m not sure Liverpool miss him too much when he’s not in the team. Certainly not as much as they miss Mané.

    Wildcard booked in for the international break.

    Stones & Trippier both currently priced at £5.6m but who’s the better pick after the IB?

    Stones has more assurance of starts but Trippier has more potential for big returns. City and Spurs seem equally as solid this season and their fixtures are fairly even too. Tough one.

    Thoughts on switching to a 352 and 442 type formation with capt Kane and Abraham upfront??

    Seems to be better value in midfield and defence this season.
    Currently on wc to this:

    DeGea,
    Otamendi, Jones, Trippier,
    Ramsey, Salah, Richarlison, Sane, Groß
    (K)ane, Morata
    Bench: Elliot, Ayew, Mee, Lowe
