Scoutcast Episode 275 – Thirties

1,628 Comments

With scores all in the thirties, Gameweek 13 was one to forget for the Scoutcast crew.

After forcing themselves to relive this dire set of points, Az, David, Luke and Joe dust themselves off and look ahead to better times.

Manchester City’s wealth of midfield options come under particular scrutiny during the community questions segment. A total of 44 points from David Silva, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling against West Ham last weekend makes this is a group of players that demand attention.

Tottenham’s emerging assets in the centre of the park have also caught the community’s collective eye.

Son Heung-min, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen all impressed in the north London side’s victory over Chelsea at the weekend. However, the Scoutcast crew are more interested in their premium-priced teammate Harry Kane to help them take advantage of Spurs’ kind set of festive fixtures.

Elsewhere, David reveals some notable team frailties and the players who are set to exploit them over December. Gylfi Sigurdsson is looking such a strong option in this regard that Joe wishes there could be two of the Everton set-piece specialist to draft into his squad.

Differentials, clean sheets, captaincy and transfer plans are also discussed. With the festive fixture list stepping up a gear, this covers both Gameweeks 14 and 15 as both take place during a frantic six-day block of Premier League matches starting this Friday.

      I think I'd do B. Let's keep in mind that Salah and Mane did return last week, and they play at Anfield on Sunday. Bmouth aren't push overs. Sane is more rested so (I think?) would be more likely to start, Sterling has played a lot of mins.

    I think Neymar is close to being the most unlikable footballer in the history of the game.

    I just want to rip off my right arm so my left one has something to throw at him. The sad thing is, he is amazing at football. But he is a Grade A thunderc*nt.

            You probbaly just got Martial in in the last few weeks so I'd stick with him

              Yeah two GWs but already regretting it. Especially because he looks like his old complaining self again, pretty invisible etc

              The flying Martial from a few weeks ago is already gone
