The latest ScoutCast episode is now live for your aural pleasure. Listen in as I recount my Paris trip diet of croissants and football, and a closely fought contest between Wifey and WIFI. I seem to have absorbed some French luck too, as I continue on my ‘Fantasy Cup’ run. Maybe it’s due to Le Chat Noir that ran in front of my car last week. Mark on the other hand is desperately trying the differential blagging game and failing miserably. There might just be a contest this season after all.
As well as the usual podcast regulars, the pair of us visit the familiar “Fantasy Island” destination with a passenger that at first seems like a case of mistaken identity. A shared surname created the confusion, giving me all the opportunity I needed to dwell on United’s latest triumph over Mark’s Gunners. He can harp on about Forest all he likes. I know the truth.

saying bridge is going to start this weekend?
not a bad one for the next 3 games with the dgw??
bad idea or …?
also gives me money to upgrade anelka to drogba.
he will want to show that he can rise to the occasion aswell with recent events, could be a good one, still not match fit though surely so he would only be able to play 1 or two games, and not sure if he would be the type of defender that is good playing away from home, a la Terry
weeehheeeeyyyyyy lol
he should have plenty of energy at any rate since he was doing f all around the house lately by the sounds of things
going for Diamanti, Rooney, Tevez as my forward line…or should i get Drogs in for Diamanti, i’ll have 7.2 to spend on a midfielder if i do….decisions decisions.
think you need to think who you would get in as a midfielder first, then you know how much £ to play with..
hmmm, cahill is tempting…solely because i’ve just watched sky sports compare him to a flea…his jumping ability and what not, surreal.they really don’t have much to report today.
Can anyone recommend a defender for 4.9, need to get rid of warnock for the next few gw’s.
Already have richards, ivan, hughes & dann
Gary Cahill, 4.9, perfeck.
well richards doesnt look like hes playing this weekend?
collins ,cahill ,nelsen
I know, seems im going to have a dodgy team this week. But thinking of keeping richards in the hope he’ll be ok, and play, for the following gw.
Not sure on cahill. Its bolton after all.. but he does score 1/5 it seems
ok as i want to get drogba and rooney back in my team, i’m thinking rooney this week as they play pompey and will give drogba an extra week to get match fit (plus the fact they play arsenal) so does the following sound ok:
Hart Sorenson
Dunne Ivanovic Ridgewell Baird Stearman
lampard fabregas Kuyt Diaby Gera
Bent Anelka Tevez
was thinking to get anelka out and rooney in and diaby out and mccarthy in??????
sounds good to me, I have N’Zogbia but would be looking at McCarthy if I didn’t
So, the burning question, is Drogba likely to go up tonight or tomorrow night? I have two free transfers so it’s not that big a deal for me to do Anelka OUT and Drogba IN tonight before Anelka goes down and Drogba goes up
Sounds like you answered your own question, buy him now, dont pay later
Did anyone watch MCY v POR at the weekend?
Surely Stephen ‘Superman’ Ireland has gotta be worth a shout for the MCY dgw? Played the 90 mins, 3 bps and 1 assist!
yeah,he’s cursed for me, as soon as i put him in.he doesn’t play. im staying away, maybe Petrov instead
Thinking sending Fabregas and Dunne to bench!? Don’t think Alrsenal and Villa will have good next two weeks. Should I be looking to sell instead?
See ManU and ManC doing well in midium term but can’t afford Rooney so Bent as Captain. With Wigan’t defence away from home he is propably the best bet even against Manu’s double.
yeah,he’s cursed for me, as soon as i put him in.he doesn’t play. im staying away, maybe Petrov instead
You cant bench 20m. Play them or sell them IMO
When is Diaby back?
This weeks team as of now:
Hart
Dunne, Ivanovic, Nelsen, Dann
Fabs, Milner, Modric
Tevez, Drogs, Tooney (c)
Sørensen, Pienaar, Dawson, Cohen
Not really sure on who to bench and not.
Input?
Im debating Sorenson /Hart myself. I think BIR will get cs against wolves but i always like to speard the defenders over diiferent teams to divisify the risk. Ive got Carr so thought Sorenson / Carr would be sensible. Hart will enevitable save a few and get loads more points, but that is my keeper selection policy for this season.
Ireland, Wright-Phillips, Petrov….what would be your pecking order for the double-game week (money no object)
Petrov, Ireland, SWP maybe?
Personally I would only consider Petrov but have been scared off with the rotation situation there, hard to know where Ireland stands right now aswell, same goes for SWP, but if I had to I would probably say Petrov/Ireland/SWP (SWP is too flaky a fantasy player for me)
if you are going to gamble on citeh midfield and have loadsa dosh then might as well go with ireland (as long as it is short term gamble) as he is prob the most capable of bringing in a big haul)
Is Drogba protected tonight still can anyone say with any certainty?
Can’t say for certain, protection is not always consistent
Thinking of going with a Adebayor/Tevez strikeforce for the double GW(aslo have Rooney). No Man City mids are reliable enough to start. Hoping Richards makes it also.
Bad idea putting eggs into one basket?
Ok i really am clueless on who to start currently as it stands
Hart ( Sorenson )
Insua Evra Dann ( Dawson and Zayate )
Lampard Kuyt Eagles N zogbia ( Valencia )
Rodelleda Drogba Rooney
Not alot helped me on these so i am here asking for help again So should i play dawson ( spurs ) or valencia instead and if so for who?
Fran what`s going on with your season
I think so far you`ve made about 90 point hits
Not really paid off has it ….
A very poooooor seasons effort from you so far considering last years excuses !
