The ScoutCast – Episode 237 – Catnap

26 October 2017 3726 comments

Mark

Pep sunk his teeth into our Gameweeks, while an old moggy took a chunk out of my partner’s arm, depriving me of my appearance on this week’s ScoutCast. I’m not sure which was more painful.

At the mercy of the local A&E, Jonty, Andy and Az became my other emergency service as they stepped up on this latest episode.

Inevitably, Guardiola’s Man City teamsheet dominates your questions and the ensuing chatter. Elsewhere the boys re-appraise Kane after his Wembley haul, revisit Liverpool with their fixtures about to swing and consider whether the heavy-hitting midfielders are poised for a renaissance ahead of Gameweek 10.

As far as I know, I’ve edited out all the “pussy” jokes.

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.

Kane ruled out so FPL yellow flag first to make it look like they warned people then will change it to red later 😆

  I couldn't agree more. I'm having my worst season in years and (with Kane, Davies and even Holgate and Chalobah) to sort out I can't see it getting better in a hurry, but objectively I have to admit it's a more challenging and interesting season.

"Things are written all the time about recovery times, especially for hamstring strains. I tend to think about anything up to 3 weeks for a grade 1, anything from between 2 and 8 weeks for a grade 2 hamstring strain and you are looking at pretty much 12 weeks for a grade 3. It can be anything within that."

If you've taken a hit and then use the free hit chip, do your original get hits get cancelled out or not? I assume the latter but just wanna check.

So those who are activating their Free Hit chip - are you picking any Man City players? Any of them may run riot against a poor WBA team but if they get benched you're going to be even more upset than usual...
