The ScoutCast – Episode 148 – Harried

Granville and I make a New Year return to the ScoutCast studio, battered and bruised by the events of Gameweek 20 which saw us both inexplicably bench Harry Kane and his 18-point haul.

Having wasted our big differential and haunted by constant reminders, my co-host and I struggle to make a recovery. Spitting the pips from our sour grapes, we do our best to justify our doomed decision-making, before attempting to salve the wounds with talk of the Winter Wildcard refresh around the usual batch of regulars.

Feel the frustration via this link or swallow the bitter pill via the handy player below…

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

              Keep it incase u want to upgrade Costa to Aguero when he returns.

              Probably wouldn't do Chadli to Eriksen as Chadli been stealing the show since he returned n eriksen been quiet..

              we have the money to upgrade Costa to Aguero or Chad to Erik if need be any way so were good 🙂

                Ok mate.....I'm doing this after this game week....interested to see how much game time adm gets before playing wildcard.

                One other thought.....what do u reckon about making 5th defender 3.9 option?.....I hardly ever use 5th defender!

        I'd say A, provided you already have Aguero and Hazard.
