The ScoutCast – Episode Seventy Eight – United

Back for a new season, with “sailing fan” Granville now woken from his Olympic dream, we return for another podcast after a three-month hiatus.

While some of the regulars are shelved this week, we talk over the Sky Sports Game, welcome new Fantasy Football double act “Fenners & Merse” and start the clear up after Robin Van Persie kicked over the applecart.

The episode is underpinned by a new concept – the idea that Granville and I can join forces and actually be effective. The premise is we pick a ScoutCast XI and cross our beams to co-manage it over the season, arguing the toss in every ScoutCast episode on transfers and substitutions. The aim is harmony and a united success. It seems unlikely to end that way.

Oh, and there are actually two of my “jokes” that Granville misses in this episode – see if you can make out the second. I swear he was dreaming of gold medals in the sailing.

Listen in on the squad selection via this link.

Alternatively, stream it down your pipe using the player below…

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

    Sorry. Being very lazy.

    Has Clark featured in pre season for Villa?

    1) is he nailed on
    2) will he play midfield or def

      not sure about williams, doubt swansea will have as good year as last
      i would go williams -> 4m
      then kagawa -> bale
      and torres to either roonpig or vanpersie for coverage

      If Begovic is first choice then keepers are good for price.
      Zabaleta good choice for now, but maybe not in couple weeks time.
      Cuellar might face rotation, or even being dropped when Bardsley back.
      I think Taarabt starts season poorly because of fasting, like last year.
      Noble place might be under threat due to new signing. Have to watch that one.

      Overall good though, just a couple of things to keep an eye on 🙂

        DDG
        Zabaleta, Staylor, Hangeland
        Lamps, VDV, Mclean, Maloney
        Aguero, Torres(c), Tevez
        (Begovic, Cuellar, Nelsen, Kacaniklic)

        Utd attacking coverage is a grey area now with RVP so replaced Rooney witn aguero... Let's see owthat oes for the first 3 weeks anyway
