The ScoutCast – Episode 166 – Patsy

It’s Jonty’s time to curry sympathy this week and he’s on the receiving end of a barrage of cyber-bullying from co-host Granville.

Determined to the belittle Jonty’s Wildcard performance following Callum Wilson’s hat-trick, Granville takes to Twitter before roasting him live on air on the ScoutCast. He seems to have totally missed the fact that I too sold on Wilson as part of my own Wildcard; I’m quite happy for Jonty to play Patsy on this one.

Jonty rolls with the virtual punches to join us as we look back on the Gameweek that saw all three of us refresh our squads. We score our Wildcards out of ten, before scanning the community for Gameweek tales in “Rough with the Smooth”.

We then take on your questions, as we assess Pedro’s pedigree, the lure of Aleks Kolarov and the merits of a well-rounded squad in the light of the FPL chips.

This ScoutCast was first broadcast live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday. Be sure to subscribe to our channel for news of upcoming live Casts. You can view the broadcast in full via the larger player below but, if you prefer the edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the smaller player.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    In a draft league, who would you play for this GW (two sets of questions):

    1: JRod (NOR) or Gestede (SUN) - pick one

    2: Walcott (new) or Albrighton (bou) or Mane (NOR) - pick two

      Guess it's like any contract though no? If you sign a set time contract with work, then you're obliged to serve that time. You can refuse to turn up, but you're still employed by that employer under the specific contract.

      Whole idea is to stop you going to a competitor...which fits here too

        as an example, i have a friend who worked for a company and signed a 2yr contract. He tried to leave and go to a competitor. They said no and made him 'work' out the rest of his contract.

      Strictly speaking WR they can't stop you leaving but, depending on what your contract says and what you do for a living, they definitely CAN stop you, legally, from doing certain things thereafter--ie, they can stop you working for competitors, or using contacts or information from your previous employer. So legally, in any walk of life, you can contractually bind yourself not to do certain things for a certain period of time. I reckon Premier League contracts have enforcable clauses like this.

    Is having both Targett and McCarthy on WC a really bad idea? I suspect it might be.

    -Bertrand 'back in training in the intl break' (how long does it take to build up fitness given how long he's been out?)
    -Speroni back in training too. (Is it a given that he gets his place straight back?)

    Don't have the cash to upgrade...so i guess what i'm asking is are there better options that are less likely to fall in price?

      I think Targett is not a good long-term prospect whereas STaylor stands a better chance of points throughout the season. With a WC I think you want to be looking 6 games ahead and pick players who will get you points across the 6 games.

      Targett will 100% lose his place. Probably in 1 or 2 more GW's.

      McCarthy 'might' stay first choice, but I doubt it.

      There are no other options in that price range.

      However, if you're happy to let them rot, go for it. 😉

            Sure, but he is 10m. He could theoretically be worth 10m as a 10, but not worth 10m out wide.

            I think he's on the brink of value as a 10 personally, and if he went wide, I'd think about looking elsewhere.
