The ScoutCast – Episode 228 – Countdown

The final countdown has begun with the new season kick-off now less than 24-hours away.

Earlier the week the ScoutCast grew gathered as the clock ticked down, with Jonty, Andy and Luke joining myself to tackle a raft of perfectly targeted questions from you – the community.

Each of us take turns to reveal our current line-ups, while the collection of queries allowed us to put each of the four positions under the microscope. On occasions, we even broke from the ScoutCast tradition to provide some definitive answers.

Pre-season gremlins struck as I dropped out in full flow on Paul Pogba, but I managed to return to steer the ship towards its final destination – the first weekend preview of the new campaign.

It’s good to be back.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday 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.

    A) Salah - Gabbiadini (+0,5 in the bank)
    Or
    B) Zaha - Firmino (+1m in the bank)

    This is the team:

    DDG (Elliot)
    Kompany - Davies - Daniels - Yoshida (Rosenior)
    KDB - Willian - ?? (Atsu - Carroll)
    Lukaku - Jesus - ???

    If A I'm thinking of going Atsu -> JWP

      B. Would try to stretch to Alli somehow though. Consider Kompany to Danilo perhaps..

    Advice appreciated chaps, really like the balance without Kane...and determined to keep 3 city...

    DDG
    Kolasinac, Danilo, Yoshida, Daniels
    KDB, Alli, JWP
    Jesus, Lukaku, Firmino

    (Elliot, RLC, Carroll, Mariappa)

    A) Keep (0.5 spare)
    B) Jesus & Alli -> Kane & Silva
    C) Kolasinac & JWP -> Jones & Zaha/Willian 

    Cheers.

    Kind of surprised seeing zero Rooney. I've missed most of preseason but thought for 7.5 maybe worth a shout. Bad fixtures but is that it?

    what is the story with Pogba, is he worth the 8.0 or will i put in Willian and use the 1.0 elsewhere or swap to Mhki? Front 7 is:

    KDB, Mane, Pogba, Atsu
    Kane, Kaku, Mounie

    Thanks in advance boys.

      Like the strike force and the rest is decent. Kolo looks like a good player but i'm never comfy with Arsenal defence and i can see him picking up quite a few yellows over the course.

        I thought same actually. Wasn't sure on Kolo because of same thoughts on Arsenal...

        Choice of another at that price or below?

        I don't want a Man U defender as I have DDG. So either City (Danilo), Chel (Luiz/ Cahil or squeeze in Alonso some how)... Spurs (Vert/ Toby)
