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.

    Apologies if this has been done but why the love for Walcott over Siggy at the moment? Anything other than price?

    For me the eye test says after the initial first 8-10 GW cluster**** that was Evertons start to the season Siggy has become more and more involved in their play, no Baines on set plays means he on set plays and potentially penalties?

    I know the next two are away but Watford are poor defensively and have left Dacoure to roam forward a bit more of late Marks article on premierleague.com showed. Burnley Away is tough on paper for goals but they seem to actively welcome shots from distance, something Siggy excels at.

    A plum home fixture then obviously a game in the blank gameweek.

    Not sure if it’s my nostalgia from past seasons but really drawn to him over Walcott, if I could afford erikson maybe I would go there for the next 2 weeks, Son is a cheaper option of that strategy but Lucas Moura might limit his minutes?

      If I hasd the money id go Siggy. I think Walcott is only good when Coleman plays. Kenny leaves everton too exposed.
