The ScoutCast – Episode 222 – Intense

There’s no other word for it, this week’s ScoutCast is certainly an “intense” affair, gripped by the troublesome uncertainty served up by the most testing double Gameweek in memory.

Jonty, Andy and Az once again join me as we quickly review our Gameweek 33s, before indulging in the main course – chewing through your queries that dissect the dilemmas served up by the forthcoming fixtures.

The merits of Zlatan, the head-to-head between Negredo and Benteke and a full risk assessment of shedding Sanchez and Sigurdsson – these are all topics to furrow the brow as we indulge in the most passionate of ScoutCasts for some weeks.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Monday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

      Not sure many people were.
      But this sentiment you're expressing isn't a passive 'not feeling sorry'
      It stinks of schadenfreude and 'told you so'

      Seriously, how would you categorise that post?

    Spent all week thinking I'd do Lukaku & Sterling to Ibra & King.

    Now Ibra looks crocked is it worth dropping Lukaku for Rashford for -4? Seems a touch risky given I've already got Negredo any way. Kane being my other striker.

    May just take out Sterling but not sure really who for either given I've already got Zaha as a DGW mid. Any suggestions for a replacement with a current midfield of Sanchez, Alli, Zaha & T.Davies?

      Thing is, Rashford will definitely be needed for the Manchester derby, so will he play vs Burnley too and risk injury? Maybe Martial is played through the middle and Rashford (plus most of tonight's first 11 is given the day off).
