Visuals returned to the ScoutCast this week, as Granville and I cuddled up in a Google Hangout, with Jonty crashing in to form a ménage à trois.

Those of you who were on the site on Monday evening got the opportunity to join the sausage party via our You Tube channel. If you missed out, you can view the entire uncut version of the Hangout via the Hangout movie below.

If you prefer your ScoutCast in the regular, edited and polished audio format, you can of course get the goodness via this link or via the player below.

We’ll be looking to book ourselves in for future Hangouts every Monday evening – cropping up again next week prior to Tuesday’s deadline. Subscribe to our You Tube channel to get prior warning and look out for the dedicated Hot Topic on Monday.

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

      Keep for this week then ship for LEI bur - primed for big returns. I'm tempted by nasri myself would mean ditching haz but liv(and a knackered one at that) LEI bur sounds so much nicer than blank whu SOT. Thoughts?

        I wouldnt get rid of Hazard, but he is a season keeper for me. I have actually had him since the start of last season and never left my team! You will want Hazard back, so it depends what price you bought him at I guess

          Sold on wc bought back for 10.8 so probs lose 0.2 max - the stats of not even managing a shot v BUR were a tad worrying and I just think now city only have the prem to focus on they will go for it and score goals aplenty. Big question though is nasri v Silva - Silva grabbing the headlines but nasris two 13pt hauls since injury hint he is fresh and on form

              I hope so! Certainly has better underlying stats than Silva who is basically yaya last season atm eg scoring with every shot he takes. Double up could be a shout though - would have yielded 18 v stoke and 30 v Newcastle, compare that to the popular Sanchez ozil double up which would have got you 13 v lei and 6 v cpl, so basically 29pts difference over two games. A worthy comparison as a medium away game and a easy home one

    Earlier in the week I posted the question is Eriksen would drop before the deadline, he was then on -30% drop, I've just checked tonight and he is now at -86.6% on FPL Stats. FFF have him marked as dropping tomorrow night and is currently at -79%

    Eriksen dropping in price might not mean much to some, but him dropping 0.1 mill will mean I can actually bring him in for the DGW, especially now after I missed the Wisdom drop.

    So, do we think Eriksen will now drop before the deadline? Or do you think he will get close then shot back up after as others bring him in.

    My guess on who will be "tired" going into the City game:

    Sturridge
    Coutinho Sterling
    Moreno (tired) Henderson Allen (tired) Markovic
    Sakho Skrtel Toure
    Mignolet

    I'm basing this on how hard each players has worked recently and the amount of games they've played in succession.

    I can see Can getting dropped for Toure due to fatigue.
    If Lucas is back Allen will get dropped but that's looking unlikely.

    £208,930,000 - Liverpool's net spend on transfers since 06/07

    £285,609,000 - Chelsea's net spend on transfers since 06/07

    I just saw a conversation a page or two back about how much more Chelsea spent to "buy" their success. Don't get me wrong, they spent a lot certainly but maybe, when comparing to Liverpool (only used them because it was Liverpool fans saying it), it isn't the difference between Chelsea's success and Pool's success in that time frame.

    I don't know, I'm off to watch tv. Just thought it worth noting.

      There's more to this debate.

      -Chelsea pay their players more
      -Bigger talents are currently coming to Chelsea because they are a stronger team right now
      -Liverpool have signed English players with inflated fees to maintain Liverpool's reputation of being an English club

      Chelsea have obviously come out winners. They have done fantastic in the market the last few years. Buying low and selling high.

              You missed the biggest one: chance of winning major silverware.

              Top players have lots of clubs they can go to for huge wages. Some are just mercenary. But some (usually the best ones) also want to achieve things. What attracts them is the chance to be part of a really successful team. And for most world class players that means Champions League,

              How many teams in England do you think are seen from overseas as having a realistic chance of winning the CL in a typical season? I'll tell you. 2. United and Chelsea. Arsenal and City are seen as teams that can reach the knockout stages but not more.

              Obviously that can and will change from time to time. But that's a big reason why United and Chelsea are attractive right now.

      My wumming extends from my little brother who supports Pool. In reality, I have little problem at all with them, there are more aspects of how things are run that irritate me (especially if they get ignored) which seems to be similar for certain Pool fans on here who don't like how United run their affairs either (though I couldn't argue that as I'm quite ticked with them myself, at the moment!)

            True Detective blew my mind. Didn't love the ending but the script and acting are better than most films

              The ending was....unconventional, but I loved it all the same.

          Don't get me started!! I'm very hard of hearing and need subtitles. All of the 'catch up/anytime stuff has no subtitles 😡 so I can't watch them

            That's not great for true Detective, good as it is Matthew McConaughey does like to pretend all his scenes are in a library

        I'm moles behind on fortitude. For a town with no crime there see some seriously dodgy bar stewards living there.
        Watch 1st series of Broadchurch it's stunning

      i have him fixtures are average. only played 45 last week so missed the clean sheet points was very unlucky not to get an assist. Risky but still a good option for the coin

        That's how I'm leaning. Thanks. Just worried about Dawson not being nailed on. Maybe I should stop worrying about that.
