The ScoutCast – Episode 231 – Eavesdrop

This is a very strange experience.

Denied the opportunity to host this week’s ScoutCast by BT’s shortcomings and with the Wildcard active, I am forced to join you and eavesdrop while my decision-making is torn apart by Andy, Jonty, Az and Luke. I have to admit, it’s pretty tortuous.

It’s like my hands are firmly fastened to the couch while the quartet lapdance* their critique around me. How I want to get “involved”.

Aside from appraising my “ill-timed” Wildcard, the boys tackle your other community questions.

They consider the Liverpool double-up, question whether midfield coverage can replace either Kane and Lukaku, debate whether Alonso is essential and then look at how fixtures can shape cheap defensive acquisitions.

I’m pretty sure they answer them all exactly as I would. In fact, listening back, they appear to justify my Wildcard for me. I can hardly wait for next week.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

      pretty solid, Mbemba out for months is a problem, also hegazi might not be a starter in another week..possibly this week even.

      Mbemba is a waste and you should cash Hegazi in as he's not nailed. Naughton will end up playing every week in that squad.

      I think i'd take a hit to lose Mbemba and Phillips for a playing defender, and maybe Brady in midfield.

      Ok I get it. Jones and 4.5 fodder up front and leave some ITB.

      I am not for 3 up front normally. But might be too many big hitters up front this year. If you are happy to captain Lukaku each week all good. But Lukaku fixtures will turn within a few weeks.

      Ozil? I think you've lost your mind.

      Differentials are differentials for a reason. High scoring players become template.

      Vertonghen has the least goal threat of any of the Spurs defenders.

      But it is your team of course, do as you wish.

      I have 9 away this week lots of players in the same boat. Last season when I had a similar home / away imbalance the away weeks were often a nice surprise and the plum home weeks a total let down. You just don't know.

      Pickford yes, and maybe Holgate at the back. I'd have more faith in Siggy than Rooney, with Calvert-Lewin as a 3rd striker punt.

            Indeed, but the rates of pen saves and CS's are remarkable for just 400 games. His defence must have given away a serious amount of penalties though for him to save one every 3 games on average.

            I guess shootouts may have been more common?

              On the contrary, they didn't have shoot-outs in those days. Proper pens only!

          He's a nailed on striker with 2 goals in 3 games up against a poor defensive side (so far) at home.

          I don't particularly rate him either, but some merit to picking him with their run coming up. If West Ham were so doggo I'd consider him.

                For some reason I had it in my head they were playing Bournemouth. My bad. Still a decent fixture. Huddersfield well organised, Lossl has been great so far. Don't expect a 4th cleanie in a row, but you never know.

                West Ham need to win, or surely Slaven is gone.

            If West Ham were good, then maybe, but they're so poor and all over the place at the moment. His chance of a haul is going to be near zero as there's no way Bilic is going to risk losing his job by playing open and attacking football. A cagey 1-0 win would be his dream scenario at the moment.

            I'd never pick Chicharito as captain unless he turns into King from last season.
