When does patience stop being a virtue and become downright stubbornness?
This is among the issues tackled by Joe, Az and Lee on this week’s Scoutcast as they look at their own stubborn streaks and wonder whether impatience may actually be the wisest strategy this season.
Those who have been slow to catch on to Jamie Vardy’s sensational captaincy potential, and clinging to the hope that Raheem Sterling will eventually score in the league, will know about the cost of patience only too well.
There’s also plenty of input too from the community on this issue as they reveal how they may have been, perhaps, too set in their ways this campaign.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus’ credentials as a differential saviour is also on the bill, as are Spurs assets, who are already shaking up the template under Jose Mourinho. But which of the North Londoners’ wealth of attacking talent is the best to acquire?
Our trio also look back at their Gameweek 13 scores and detail their plans for the upcoming Gameweek 14 matches this weekend.
In this packed show, they also manage to squeeze in the regular features including clean sheets and Rough with the Smooth.
Finally, Az marks his return to the Scoutcast line-up to maintain his strong track record of picking differentials by taking his turn to select the next month’s best low-owned gem.
Will our trio continue to be stubborn this season, or will the patient approach prevail?

4 years, 5 months agoIf someone told me at start of season that before start of gw14 id be without atleast one of Kane Salah Sterling or Aguero in my team id laughed them off
I think most veterans are struggling this season as they are too stubborn in holding or captaining inconsistent big hitters or fpl royalties of past seasons.
While those who jumped early on chelsea, leicester assets and early adopters of likes of Jimenez Pukki are reaping rewards.
