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.

            I did say Italy seemed to be his first choice. Think it was a case of being snubbed by Juve but really wanting to live in Italy.

            His attitude is f**king s**t tbh, frequently on social media giving out about Munich when they leave him on the bench, won't pass to team mates when he comes on, 100% not the type of person the Pool dressing room needs right now.

                    Not at all, a lot of young players in the positions he can play, it would interrupt bringing them along (the likes of Markovic who they spent a lot of money on).

                    I hope he kicks the attitude out and focuses on the football, he could be a great player if he did, no question.

            yeah its looking promising! might swap Guarin with Hernanes and Palacio with Podolski but good to have some decent quality in those positions.

            The chase for the champions league spot will be very interesting if Mancini can get the team working well. The display in the second half against Juve was encouraging.

          He's just ready for real training today. He'll have another session tomorrow and then Everton. He has a bit of a history of coming back from an injury and getting hurt again. I think it'd be really foolish, unless they are desperate, to play him.

      Stoke will score I reckon.

      Think City will score more than 1. Not sold on QPR beating Burnley.

        Surely Qpr have to win away at some point. Although more likely a draw I think

          At some point but at the moment they really have looked dire. So I'm not entirely sure on that.

      RVP to Aguero soon, am I right that Aguero will be price locked for a while ? I dont want to do this transfer until after Chelsea City game, but 0.0 itb could be a problem

      Debuchy and Jones can become Bertrand and Lescott/Wisdom later down the line, just dont like SOT and WBA fixtures this month

      Bit worried of 3x CHE 3x ARS and 3x UTD but all have decent immediate fixtures and RVP is just a Ageuro placeholder

      P.Jones' spot could be Trippier, Lescott, Alderwied or Janmaat but with funds to spare and a strong front 8 why try to second guess a lower team when i can get into United's tightened up defence

      Thoughts ?

      I think that there is a potential opportunity to play a WC slightly earlier - it appears that many are happy to wait 2-3 weeks and muddle through. And there lies a possibility to steal a march on those who will likely have poorer teams for 2-3 weeks. The real question is does that advantage outweigh the value of waiting.

      I think i can get a better team for the next 2-3 weeks and setup for the longer term. Not sure why i wouldn't do this now as its also quite likely this team will outscore my current squad in the short term too.

        later wildcarders will experience more price changes than early ones as so many go early that prices barely move (WC transfers don't affect prices)
