The ScoutCast – Episode 211 – Beleaguered

Stick with it.

Sanchez

Ibra

Costaaaaaaaaa

Sanchez

Difficult to believe, so far into the season; I've used ten different captains, but only Sanchez and Aguero successfully.

Sanchez atm. Ibra is tempting though

Has to be Haz

Currently on Hazard but dont feel safe with it. He could go huge i feel though. If not him ill be deciding on Sanchez and Zlatan, both great options i feel.

Hope Haz backs up his stats and has another quiet GW

Giroud. I'm chasing

Sanchez, Hazard almost though

Sanchez. Main rival will captain him and doesn't own Ibra or Hazard so I'm playing it safe

Coutinho is better for price rises than for points

Doubt it

Bench boost looks good

Looks good. Save bench boost

Coutinho in for Alli is a bad plan

BAINES INJURY WTH!

Alli>Coutinho is mental

Ah very good team.

Bench boost would be fun but you have to save it I think

A big risk of missing a Heaton haul for the hope that Valdes could get six.

nice team

I'd prioritize replacing Benteke instead

A

Im currently undecided on A,B or C (havent got Costa though)

I think Hazard has the most potential for this gw, but the others are safer options. currently on Hazard. All good picks for this gw.

I'd bench Jones and play Rose.

Need to go out so waiting for TM to post quickly.

What show is that BB?

Its weird when friends become minor celebrities, I have a few mates who have made it in the media world. Its strange seeing them on TV/newspapers/radio.

You should listen to Guardian football weekly podcast, he hosts that too. He's brilliant off script...

I could see him coming back with a bang.. only worry for me though would be getting subbed off around the 60 min mark.. not too sure how his looking after that injury though

I still like Baines more, cheaper, on penalties and better fixtures

The pick of the season is clearly alonso.. but if getting one in now considering fixtures i agree that you cant look past Rose

Great option but he's on 8 yellows.

If not for 2YC away from 2 match ban then yes. Saying Costa went so many games without getting 5th is silly argument along the lines of 9 coin clips heads the 10th won't be 50/50 chance

I think Baines then Rose. Coleman in there too, and Bellerin

Play Pieters. Stoke 3 home CS last 4

Pieters to 5.6 or Amat to 5.1 are the options

Nah. Saving the transfer is far more valuable.

I'm almost tempted to play Grant over Valdes

Cheers all on the advice. Pieters is a decent cover for Baines and I head into next week with two FTs

I'm resigned to him being out

I know Baines is a great pick even without fixtures but the dude is injury prone. Even though he really tempts me I just can't go there.

nothing. 😉

Just play him. 1)

C

if you dont have costa or hazard i'd say go with C

B

C probably.

C

Fingers crossed he gets up.

Moved Alonso to him on WC last week :/

Carroll and defense need sorting.

Potentially Capoue to Stanislas and rotate with Carroll? Or upgrade Carroll to Defoe? Or perhaps Holebas to Chambers? Just trying to throw some ideas at you

Ah good team, save your transfer.

Captain one of Ibra Haz and Sanchez

60 is nothing, don't panic

No

thanks for keeping me sane! he

I really like your side. I like B but it's not urgent and saving one transfer might be smart.

But then keeping Lovren as a backup for Baines is good.

Really tough this. Very good team

Firm to Cout and roll or Firm to Alli and roll is what I'd do.

I like B with Phillips or C

As a long term move, I would take out Lovren for a boro defender

There's a chance that Firmino will come back into form while consistently playing as a false 9 and with Coutinho back pulling the strings

I wouldn't change my midfield big 3 of Sanchez Eriksen Alli for a Liverpool mid with tough fixtures and no Mane

Baines I think. No Rose. Or Walker 😀

B

All good shouts except D. I don't trust Southampton these days.
Probably get Baines because of price.

Walker

Bench Jones.

Probably bench Jones. He wouldn't be a bad first bench though

Ask any Kane seller before WBA game

Save. Reassess next week with two frees and more information.

I sold Hazard last week to get money for Kane>Aguero. No way I'm selling Kane more anytime soon

Spending trades every week to remove forwards is absolutely ridiculous. You should be aiming to get players in for at least mid-term. One GW isn't even a short-term transfer, it's tiny.
