We were dressed for success, but success it never comes.

Suited and booted, we crown the new season riding a wave of giddy optimism. The positivity flows on the eve of a new campaign which, on paper, looks destined to be one of the best in memory.

Granville makes a belated return to ScoutCast action to join Jonty, Andy and myself as we start to sift the seemingly endless array of options open to us on the new season player list.

It’s bewildering stuff but, guided by you, the community, we attempt to navigate all your pre-season questions before laying our own cards on the table.

It’s amazing to be back amongst it again. Let’s just hope the smiles stay as wide for the next episode.

he ScoutCast is first aired live on our YouTube channel on Thursday night. Be sure to subscribe to get a heads up on future broadcasts.

You can view the full Google Hangout version of this episode via the second player below or stream the edited audio from this link or the first player.

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

      Decent pick. Less attacking potential than Walker but probably more nailed as Poch liked to rotate the full backs last year around euro games

    Redmond + Fischer+ Feghouli .Rotating 2 of 3 each week gives great fixtures. OR Tadic+Fischer + 4.5 bench fodder and extra 0.5 in the bank if needed.

      Well, if you like headaches and regrets (who doesn't??) go ahead and rotate mids.
      If you want to sleep like a baby, find a 4.5 that will always be benched.
