The ScoutCast – Episode 165 – Wildboys

5,539 Comments

Tempted into dealing our Wildcards by yet another “mediocre” Gameweek, Granville and I go through almost the entire episode before Jonty reveals he’s weakened and gone “active”. It’s a revelation that almost has us both logging off and reaching for our own panic buttons.

Before that dramatic finale, we find salvation via another bout of “rough the smooth”, cheering ourselves with tales of Gameweek totals which dip below even our miserable tallies.

We also take a further round of community questions, forcing me to “fess up” on Theo Walcott, while Granville laments Wayne Rooney’s form and the three of us tackle the merits of Mahrez, Ozil and loading up on City assets.

    What do we reckon are the chances of McCarthy permanently ousting Speroni?

      I wouldn't be surprised as I think Palace have been looking to replace Speroni for a while. Padew is the one who brought McCarthy in rather than inheriting him like Hennessey. As long as there aren't any blunders in the next few weeks I think he'll get an extended run.

    need feedback:

    Wanyama + Payet (have Sakho)
    or
    Hoolahan + Ayew

    Hoolahan/ Wanyama will most likely be on my bench at all time.
    So question is more if Payet will outscore Ayew, and issues about double up on WestHam

    Hazard / Sanchez / Ayew / Mahrez / Toure

    Kone / Aguero / Gomis

            Kolarov / Richards / Ward / Gomez / S Taylor

            0.0ITB

            3-5-2

            Play Ward this weekend then sub him out for Gomez the following week when Liverpool play West Ham at home and Palace go to Chelsea and Man City.

            If Pedro or one of the 8.5 strikers like Benteke start scoring, I can do Toure / Kolorov out and bring them in relatively easy over a couple weeks or for a -4 hit.

            Sorted (hopefully...)

      I am not keen on the keepers - transfers and price drops waiting to happen.

      Westwood over Wanyama to avoid potential price drops.

      And now to answer your question lol: not keen on fazio, no idea if nailed and there are too many risky picks in the defence to justify the risk. I'd do gomis to diouf

        Agreed on keepers but I'm willing to take the risk for now.

        May well pick Westwood over Wanyama, had him earlier this week.

        Not keen on Fazio to be honest but quite keen to get Gomis with Swansea's attack firing although I do like the look of Diouf.

        Thanks.

          The 3rd striker could rotate with 5th midf, so you want someone viable. Regular starters can be picked up for 5.5

    What does everyone think of Ritchie for Bournemouth? Watching the Liverpool game he looked very lively. Was influential in everything, hit the post even and looking at his numbers has had loads of touches in the box, chances created etc. He’s on set pieces, had a price drop and looking at the ticker his next 6 look very appealing. Thoughts as a differential who will start to kick on? I’m putting him in to free cash for Kun, can’t see what’s not to like.

    The Captain Poll asks 'Who is the best captain this week'. I've always wondered,do people vote for the person they think is the best captain in isolation to their team (which I assume is the purpose) or in terms of who they have and they are captaining?

    In any event,it's a strange week for captains imo. I have a feeling that Everton will turn up for one of their customary big home games,and while I think City should win,Aguero will be limited to a goal. If he scores and they win by a tight margin you're looking at a nice haul (especially in the points barren Wk1-2) of 16-18 as (C).

    This week however is a great week to 'gamble' on the (C) imo. It's hardly a plum fixture for Aguero and I think options such as Sanchez/Rooney and even Payet offer potentially higher returns. Having watched Gomez struggle for Liverpool the other night,I think Sanchez could run riot and I certainly fancy Arsenal to put a couple past Liverpool at home. Rooney and flavour of the week Memphis have what we would generally consider a plum fixture in Newcastle at home. The proviso with this however is that Rooney is bang out of form and Memphis has scored two great goals against a godawful team in Brugge.

    Sanchez is the best (C) for me,followed closely by Rooney/Memphis. Aguero is the safe option,no doubt about that,but his returns have a ceiling for me this week,where the other boys are only limited by their own form. I've got a sneaking suspicion that even if a goal goes in off his over-sized arse,Rooney is going to help himself to a couple of goals Saturday lunchtime.

      Well thought out.

      Still I disagree with Kun and City in perticular. In amazing form, Kun with a lot of chances and touches in the box last week. I'm going with him and would not be amazed if he scored a brace. In fact I'd be more amazed if Rooney did!
