The ScoutCast – Episode 224 – Maths

3,655 Comments
Share

You get your Wildcard active, and we’ll do the maths. Or rather Jonty will.

This week’s ScoutCast gets highly technical as my aforementioned co-host goes all Rachel Riley on us (wishful thinking) and attempts to bewilder with a cheeky little algorithm he’s just happened to have rustled up.

Attempting to cut through the noise of the forthcoming double Gameweeks, Andy and Luke join me while Jonty gives his numbers an airing via another round of your targeted queries.

We chew over Gabbiadini’s demise, assess the Gameweek 37 potential offered by Spurs and Chelsea and, yet again, make another assessment of a slumbering Sanchez.

The end result all leads to the ScoutCast Wildcard template squad, as Big Vic crashes in and Luke stands alone in shunning Arsenal’s Chilean timebomb.

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

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

    Hi all,

    Need a little assistance.

    Wc last week with next week in mind, but with Kun potentially injured and no Sanchez scaring the bejeasus out of me I have a dilema. I actually for the first time all season like my team this week and it's just missing a bit of Arsenal.

    Willy (Pickford)
    Alonso Huth Yoshida (Blind Kelly)
    Ali Hazard King Redmond (Zaha)
    Kun Vardy Gabbiadini

    I have also not used my TC chip yet and my BB is set for next week.

      Huth. Fancy Watford to score.
      Yoshi is guaranteed 3-4 points.
