Arriving in the midst of a lukewarm Double Gameweek, the latest episode of the ScoutCast is more intent on looking ahead as the entire five-man crew press the button on the Free Hit chip.
We’re back to full strength, as Granville, Jonty, Andy and Az join me to discuss our approach to Gameweek 35’s slimline schedule, inspired by another round of your community questions.
That attacking riches on offer from Manchester City and Liverpool dominate the early chatter, as we give our take on the run-in targets least likely to suffer from rotation to feature for Free Hitters and the “chipless” this weekend.
We then pan for Gameweek 35 gold in less familiar territory, as we re-open the Coleman vs Baines debate ahead of their meeting with a Newcastle outfit perhaps already in flip-flops after four straight wins.
End of season template busters help round things off before we career into the regular weekend preview to offer early thoughts on the Gameweek armband.

6 years, 19 days agoAs a United fan, I can't help but respect Wenger. Yes he's probably outstayed his welcome by a year or two but what a manager he was. Always had that knack of unearthing gems like Vieira, Petit, Anelka, Ljungberg etc in those early days and the tussles we had with Arsenal live long in the memory from 1997-2000 when we exchanged Doubles (Arsenal 98, United 99 plus the CL) and then again from around 2002 to 2005 when United were trying to keep pace with the new Arsenal team of Henry, Pires, Reyes, Campbell etc. To this day, no fixtures have matched those games for intensity and pressure. Would feel like hiding behind the couch when that Arsenal team came forward. They should probably have won a European Cup... 2004 being a great chance but blew it against Chelsea in the Q/F and of course the final in 2006 when they were 1-0 up. Probably speaks volumes that all of this was over a decade ago; his teams have still been great to watch since then but his stubbornness to adapt and sentiment towards average players has frayed his legacy somewhat. Still, I can't help but have massive respect for him. A legend of the game.
