The ScoutCast – Episode 251 – Domestic

1,824 Comments
Share

Distracted and torn by domestic duties, my appearance on this latest ScoutCast episode is limited to a 30-minute introduction, followed by closing cameo.

That’s just enough time to join Jonty, Andy and Az in revisiting the Gameweek 31 scenario and chip strategies that dominate your community questions.

While I’m away, the boys also consider the Gameweek 31 traps to decide whether we’re in danger of being distracted by the mediocrity on offer. The fate of premium-priced defenders is also discussed before they preview Gameweek 28, as I crash back in to make my late contribution.

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

    Hazard, Salah(c), Sterling, Walcott
    Kane, Firmino(v), Ayew

    (Speroni, Shaqiri, Kenny, Ogbonna)

    Plan to make the following moves in the abscence of any surprises:
    GW29: Ogbonna > Hegazi
    GW30: Kenny > Coleman (if fit)
    GW31: Hazard, Ayew, Naughton > Stanislas/Fraser, Benteke, Ake (-4)

    Gives 11 players with all chips still in tact

    A. Eriksen (have Kane)

    Season Heroes

    Pascal Gross, a 5.5m Brighton midfielder, has outscored all but four strikers including Lukaku who is twice the price! I noticed he scored three or four in pre-season so stuck him in as an early season punt and he's till there. That 18 pointer was epic. Surely my hero of the season! A proper FFS pick.
