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.

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

    Foster / 4.5 (Rotation)

    Foster / Jaku and Routledge as fifth mid. Punt and might be a good pick for #2.

      Stones is very cheap for a City defender. £45m usually means they want him to start every week.

      Morgan is the safest defender for Leicester and most well known to casual players.

      Cheap(ish) route into decent defences...

      Stones in particular. If Man City get 16 CS (as they did last year without Kompany for the most part) that's money well spent. He got 8 last season in Everton.

    Anyone else strongly considering to go without Hazard?
    I think he'll do well this season, but he's always started slow. Costa offers an option at 0.5 less, and he seems to start better.
    Or is this just last-minute-madness?

    As usually mad last minute changes after nailing all my players on...over and over again.

    De Gea/Jakup
    Lovren/Stones/Evans/Friend/Posters
    Firmino/Mahrez/Deulofeu/Feghouli/Redmond
    Kun Aguero/Ibra/Gray

    I am likely planning a switch from Mahrez to Ozil at some point and have Ibra and De Gea as downgrade options. Also considering Gray to Carroll but keeping an eye on that one.

    People who I was close to going with but didn't...
    Mkhitaryan
    Townsend
    Kone (transfer put me off, could switch Pieters when settled)
    Kane (Likely 'downgrade' for Ibra)
    Heating (Likely 'downgrade' for De Gea)

    Thoughts and advice for a lurking member?...that sounds sinister :/

    Keep switching between Mahrez and Vardy. Need a Leicester player against Hull first game, Vardy is more expensive but looks sharp.
