The ScoutCast – Episode 31 – Certified PG
Mark returns brazen faced from gameweek 29 with a right cob on after skippering Bendtner; so much so that I’m forced to flash him a yellow for a foul-mouthed tirade that earns this podcast a parental guidance certificate.
This broadcast is therefore suitable for ‘General listening, but some talk may be unsuitable for some children. Unaccompanied children of any age may listen but it should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.’
Amongst all the potty talk, I’m left ruing the return of my bad luck. Was it bad luck or was it just a ‘Ricketts’?
Then it’s off to the fantasy island with a selection of players from all parts of the union. Anyone heard the one about the Englishman, Scotsman and Welshman? Well you’re not going to hear any well defined stereotypes on here; we’ve upset enough folk with this one.

Defence –
Evra Ivanovic Baines Dann Dawon
Is it worth getting Collins in? if so, for who?
Personally i think its worth it for Dawson.
Would have to be for Dawson and I would probably do it
i have 1.8m, so if i downgrade dawson to collins i will have enough to do Nzogbia to Arteta next weeks!
Collins this week will involve a 4 pt hit as i have already got Milner in.
I’m doing Lee to Milner, and one of the following:
1. Bent to Agbonlahor
2. Dawson or Ridgewell to Collins
Which should I do?? Leaning towards 1, will do the other next week and think GW31 should be kinder to the Villa defence.. any thoughts?
Anyone had a peek at what team they’re going to put out in GW 31? Now that’s going to be a right dilemma with all the options available!!
My team –
Sorenson, Hart
Baines, Ivan, Ridgewell, Tomkins, Foley
Fab, Valencia, Diaby, McCarthy, Lee
Bent, Rooney, Drogba
I was thinking val to milner and foley to warnock.
Good moves? Arteta in for Lee the week after………
sounds good mate, similar squad to me if u get Milner in and i am trying to get Arteta next week!
what team you playing this week?
ill probably leave Tomkins, Ridge, Sorenson, Diaby on the bench…
Rooney (c)
guys is this a good transfer??
kuyt> milner
which keeper to play
jensen or robinson?
So is everyone going mad to field loads of doublers?
With AVL, BIR, BLA, CHE, EVE, MCY, POR, SUN, WHM and WLV all doubling it seems like a points bonanza is on it’s way at first glance.
However:
AVL, 2 home games but then CHE and EVE soon after.
CHE, 2 away games then AVL and MUN soon after and also
EVE have MCY away as on eo their games but favourable after that.
The rest are not very appealing to me tbh.
So what to do?
I think i am not going to go nuts after all and screw up my team for the sake of one week.
a front 3 of drogba, tevez and bent does look tempting now for GW31, doesnt it?
Aye lad, it does.
After a couple of ideas & 2 trades to my side this week that work well for GW30-31
Team is
Hart/Sorensen
Evra,Dawson,Ivanovic,Distin,Carragher
Fabs,Lee,Valencia,O’Hara,N’zogbia
Rooney,Bent,Bendtner
7.1 in bank
Thinking about getting Drogba back in GW31 so trades are probably needed with getting Milner in & another. Drogba & Torres scare me this week though.
Any ideas much appreciated.
You have a lot of money in the bank!?
Can’t you just do Bendtner –> Drogba with that cash? No need for trades. Rest of the team looks pretty good and set up well with many playing twice in GW31.
I did Drogba to Bendtner last week, had a feeling Bendtner had a big one in him. I’ll probably trust Bendtner vs Hull now. Wait a week for Milner?
Ok another crazy idea. With Fabs 50-50 for the weekend, is anyone considering selling him?
You see if do this with my team:
Evra –> Collins
Fabs –> Milner (4pts)
then next GW:
Kuyt –> Lamps
Jones –>Agbon (4pts)
Giving me the following DGW players for GW31: Collins, Milner, Lamps, Agbon, Terry, Dann, Hart, Baines, Tevez, O’hara!?
Quite a return for Fabs out. Can always swap him back for Lamps after if needed.
yes, ive sold him for lampard for a 4pt hit. i will bring fabs back in after lamps double week. i fully expect lampard to make up the 4 points over the next 2 gameweeks even in the unlikely event that fabregas plays at hull. if he doesnt play at hull then the move will prove beneficial imo
Goddamn you another post!?
That comment was in relation to the new FFS post, now noone will see my comment. Oh well.
This site would be sweet with a forum. Hope its in the works.
Also should i prefer attacking villa this week over defences? Looks like GW31 might be better for Villa defence.
So this game week;
Get in Milner and Agbon.
Then next bring in Lamps and Collins.
guys should i transfer out kuyt for milner long term??
I DID
I wasn’t a huge fan of Milner but because literally everyone else has him, if he did well, you’d be screwed. So it’s worth getting him in just to remove that chance.
I’ve already taken an 8 point hit – who thinks I should take another 4 to get Lampard in for the next 2 weeks?
Not me.
Genuinely? Lamps will have 3 games in the next 2 weeks
Ooof tough one. Lamps would have to get 2 goals at least to validate the 12 point total hit but he is capable against the hammers at home. Tough call.
Well genuinely it depends on how strong your bench is. Looking at your team it should be strong enough to replace Fabregas with a player that will get 2-3 points.
12 pointers are generally a no-no for me, it’s the very last resort, and your team is strong enough to avoid it.
In place of Fabregas that is
My team is
Jensen
Collins, Bridge, Ridgewell
A. Young, Milner, Diaby. N’Zogbia
Rooney, Torres, Bendtner
Fabs on bench…
Jensen
Vermaelen, Dunne, Alexander
Bowyer, Lee, Fabergas, Milner, NZogbia
Bent, Rooney, Drogba
I’m thinking of bringing in Lampard for Fabergas and Cuellar for Alexander… any thoughts?
how bout downing as captain?
street?
