The ScoutCast – Episode 256 – Voodoo

Recorded prior to Mohamed Salah’s injury scare, the ScoutCast crew already had one curveball to contend with in this latest episode as we mulled over Harry Kane solutions.

Fit-again and primed to skittle the Stoke City defence, Granville, Jonty, Andy and Az join me to discuss how we go about making plans for Harry ahead of two tempting Double Gameweeks.

Elsewhere in this episode, your community questions steer us to consider the optimum front three, assess Chelsea’s shaky confidence and weigh up the fixtures versus form conundrum that is Marko Arnautovic.

The regular weekend preview is then followed by an extraordinary bout of mind games from Jonty, who appears to have tap into the dark arts to prophesise Salah’s injury two days early. That would explain his rank this season; there’s been voodoo at work.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday evening. 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.

      Hey dude, if you have no FH you have to keep Auba surely?

      I've just wildcarded and not in love with Willian after Chelsea loss/ top four faltering.

      Any scope to do Kane/ Christensen/ Willian to Lukaku/ Alonso/ Lingard maybe?

    Why are people bringing in Milli, Mustafi, Hart, etc?

    No double till 37, feels a waste of a DGW spot?

    if someone had told me I'd be considering Salah to Lingard for a 4 point hit a few weeks back...
