The ScoutCast – Episode 161 – Kahunas

This week’s episode of the ScoutCast certainly doesn’t lack “Kahunas” but it does go without my nasal tones.

Another bout of man-flu got the better of me this week but, rather than can the episode, I allowed the lunatics to take over the asylum and run this nonsense without me. Granville and Jonty rise to the occasion, ably abetted by this week’s star guest, Jack Wain – previously number two in the world and still part of the pack giving chase to former guest, Simon March.

Jack makes his appearance just as his gutsy gamble to ignore the sure-fire Sergio Aguero captaincy backfires. Granville and Jonty analyse his brave fall from grace, while quizzing our FPL luminary on the Gameweek 37 double and the great Eden Hazard dilemma, all courtesy of another round of questions from you, the community.

This week’s episode was beamed live via the magic of Google Hangouts on Tuesday evening. You can view that webcam wonder via the larger player below.

For the polished, directors cut audio version, you’ll be needing this link or the smaller player below.

    Quick one: The typical Arsenal question and why?

    Hazard ---> ???

    1) Ramsey (having a knock)
    2) Cazorla (penalty duties?)
    3) Ozil (loads of assist chances)

    I have Sanchez and Giroud already.

    Is offloading Hazard for either a good call?

    Cheers!

        Good point. I still can get Haz back, but only barely, with 0.1 left.

            Yeah? The highest scoring defender in PL history? The best defender at attacking set pieces you are ever likely to see? The nailed-on captain of the best defensive team in the PL?

              Lets be honest here, If we were to predict who is going to score for Chelsea every week, no one would pick JT. And please don't try getting yourself out of this, anything other then a CS for any defender is a bonus, hence lucky. End of story.

                Oops. You caught me out I guess. I guess the fact that this will be the 6th time JT has scored 6 or more goals in a season for Chelsea makes it quite ignorant of me to expect he'll score a few. What a lucky guy I am.

      If you don't have Giroud he's the best way to cover that hole. And Arsenal fans voted him player of the month for April so he's clearly in good form.

      what a mess. i got Sanchez and Giroud a couple weeks ago but had decided to wait on the third. i had finally convinced myself to go with Ramsey, but now this injury lingers. i'm speculating like everyone else, but I'm having a hard time at the moment believing he's going to start both games. this is two weeks running that he hasn't been able to practice all week. that alone would seem likely to catch up with him eventually in terms of conditioning, but what's he going to do next week when he can't take the week off? ugh. ugh. ugh. based on the numbers, i'm now leaning toward Santi, but Ozil has a good feel to that selection. i'll decide in 24 hours, and no idea what it's going to be.

      i can definitely understand everyone wanting Hazard back for gw38. a good matchup, the team looking to end the season with a party, Hazard (potentially) having a week's rest to come out refreshed, and this being an opportunity to put an exclamation mark on the season.

      i thought i was doing something more complicated, but i'm looking at a straight swap in gw37 of Hazard for Cazorla/Ramsey/Ozil, and then planning to reverse it for GW38 contingent on any new developments next week.

        Mourinho has said he'll play his title winning side in GW38 (which obviously includes Hazard). I don't think Sunderland beating Chelsea last season at the bridge has any impact, completely different circumastances really.

        My point is, people selling Hazard instead of Silva (just because he got a huge haul last week) might regret it.

        I'll admit, I planned to sell Silva if he only picked up 6 points against QPR (which he would have gotten if he didn't score at the end and didn't get the second assist), but mentally it's hard to sell a player after a 16 point haul and that's why I started leaning towards Hazard. I've swayed back now though

              Like I said, "all (except the last point) are valid". That last point does refer to Hazard. I didn't realise he was "nailed" until Nick nicely pointed out that Jose plans to play his title winning side on the final day, something which I hadn't heard.

          Losing Silva is the sensible move if you have decent bench cover for Eden.

          Losing Eden is OK if you can afford to bring him back but it costs a FT I'd rather have in my pocket.

            Yeah exactly. Can't sell Hazard and get him back because I bought for 9.9 in GW10.

            And yes, allows me to take a punt. Eyeing up Bertrand -> Kolarov actually. Or Kane -> Leicester fwd.

              Yeah, that's the point. An extra FT in GW38 is worth having.

              I am in a slightly different position because I'll go into GW38 with Larsson and Wickham. I'll have 2 options:

              Larsson to Young or Cleverley, play 3-5-2;
              Wickham to Benteke or Rooney (but requires a hit).

              I'll probably do the former, I am extremely reluctant to take hits so late in the season.

            If I could do it I probably would. Just saying for those that can't get Hazard back selling Silva makes more sense.

    Even though he is in bad form, I still feel that not owning giroud is dangerous. Highly owned and could easily get a few goals gifted to him.

      Played 14 minutes as a sub against United earlier this season and scored. He tends to score his goals in bunches, if he nets against United again I'd back him to score against Sunderland too.

      He's a very realistic captain option for me, I'm still torn between Giroud and Sanchez.

    Ok, final question, I swear!

    Current Team:

    Panti Heaton
    PvA Yun Skrtel Clyne Morgan
    Walters Cambiasso Hazard Sanchez Silva
    Kane Giroud Aguero

    Firstly, FT will be used to bring in 3rd Ars player and taking the hit (-4) to bring in Gomez isn't worth it.

    Next, which Ars player and who to drop?

    A) Hazard ---> Caz/Ozil/Ramsey (Ramsey got knocked) - I can get Haz back for GW38
    B) Clyne ---> Kos (Clyne has been lousy last 4 games)

    If A, which Ars midfielder?
