The ScoutCast – Episode 65 – Sicknote
Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: G-G-Granville
We were struggling this week. Crippled by a cold that was verging on deadly man-flu, I made a miracle recovery without the aid of placenta treatment to struggle into the studio to infect/accompany Mark on another podcast.
My ailments were not my only curse; only last weekend my extraordinary run of missing out on penalty saves continued when Tim Krul (no pun intended, but I’ll take it), palmed away Lampard’s effort. Inevitably, I’d left the Dutchman on my bench.
Mark refuses to buy the fact I’ve missed out on a penalty save for five years, diverting the discussion towards the mini-league gap, chatter on Van der Vaart and debate over United’s plight at both ends of the field.
The usual smattering of regulars are all present and semi-correct – if you can understand a word I’m saying, you might just enjoy it all.

“City can go on as much as they like. That’s what you would expect, but the history of our club stands us aside. We don’t need to worry about that. I think we have a rich history, better than anyone, and it’ll take them a century to get to our level of history.”
Sir Alex Ferguson points to United's rich history in the light of City's title win

Which three defenders would you choose for Gameweek 15?
1) Vincent Kompany (Chelsea away)
2) Jose Enrique (QPR at home)
3) Ryan Shawcross (Tottenham at home)
4) Wes Brown (Blackburn at home)
5) Danny Simpson (Norwich away)
Thanks

sla9sa says:
2, 4 and 5. That said Kompany has goal scoring potential.
December 9 at 9:45 am
cag6117 says:
Yeah thats what i think. I have Kompany first sub. I am just worried that Newcastle may concede a few this weekend. I can see a high scoring match between Newcastle and Norwich.

+1

eclipse says:
RTaylor may score/assist if its a full on attacking game…
December 9 at 9:44 am
cag6117 says:
Maybe VDV to Nani as you already have Bale?
Good team though.
December 9 at 9:46 am
cag6117 says:
Sorry that is for DIV’s comment below
December 9 at 9:45 am
div says:
RMT Current Team. Goning to upgrade Ferguson to Gower this week but any other suggestions to improve?
Vorm
Enrique, Jones, Raylor
Silva, VDV, Walters, Bale
RVP(c), Adebayor, Ba(vc)
Ruddy, ShawX, Gabbidion, Ferguson
December 9 at 9:46 am
div says:
Have considered Nani/ Mata for VDV, but is it worth a hit this week and with VDV have a double GW coming up?
December 9 at 9:46 am
eclipse says:
I like it- but 2 Spurs midfielders could restrict you’re scoring if neither were to do anything, do you plan to keep VDV? Could look at Mata/Nani/Adam for a bit more attacking balance
December 9 at 9:50 am
eclipse says:
Just saw your comment after I’d posted haha. VDV always has the potential for multiple goals+3BPs, I wasn’t patient and swapped him for Bale a few weeks ago.
December 9 at 9:45 am
eclipse says:
Good morning managers,
RMT for this GW please
:
Vorm
Brown-BAE-Jones-RTaylor (Kompany)
Silva-Bale-Sess (Walters, Romeu)
RVP(C)-Ade(VC)-Ba
3.9M in bank, thinking of: (A) Walters/Sess -> Mata next week. (B) Or Ade-Rooney. Any advice?
December 9 at 10:06 am
cag6117 says:
Yh not bad mate. Romeu is a very interesting option. I would maybe pick Gower over him. Saying that, Romeu is looking like being Chelsea’s regular holding midfielder now.
December 9 at 9:52 am
Mr. Fantasy says:
RMT /10?
cerny (al habsi)
vermalean pjones rtaylor (richards brown)
bale silva walcott walters (pilkington)
rvp(c) ade ba
December 9 at 10:08 am
cag6117 says:
9.5/10. Only because i think Vorm would be better in goal (instead of Al Habsi). Saying that, do you have any funds?
Who are you having as VC this week?
December 9 at 10:11 am
Mr. Fantasy says:
no funds…i will go with ba as vc…have a sneaky feeling cerny will grab some pts for me…3 gk i guess were man of the match against liverpool at home
December 9 at 10:38 am
Dav says:
who would yolu put as captain this week?
RVP
BA
ADE
VDV
SESS
my head says RVP but something is tempting me on SESS…..
could he be worth a punt?
MON first game, at home, against blackburn
will the new manager effect produce a quality preformance from sunderland?
they looked so promising drawing with LIV on GW1 and their summer transfers…
December 9 at 10:52 am
heartsattack says:
RVP. Sunderland players will betrying their hearts out but RVP nonetheless.
December 9 at 11:54 am
Dav says:
hmmm, RVP is the safe option
choosing someone else to try and catch up in my mini-league was the goal
but i’d be kicking myself if RVP scores 15+ again
December 9 at 10:48 am
heartsattack says:
Morning all,
In a bit of a transitional stage at the moment and thinking of sticking with this lot as I`ve already taken a 4 point hit.
Vorm (Ruddy)
Enrique Baines Evans (Simpson Brown)
Nani Mata Formica Silva (Dyer)
RVP (c) Adebayor Ba
Any suggestions about anything appreciated. Thanks.
December 9 at 11:57 am
Dav says:
looks good
but why have brown if you can’t play him at home against blackburn?
Formica > Brown would be my only change
otherwise looks good to me
December 9 at 1:47 pm
Grunter75 says:
Will evans play or will phil Jones drop back into CB with smalling at RB?
Other thoughts are Newcastles defence will be a lot weaker now they have picked up injuries so simpson out may be a possibility. Other than that I like your teams potential
and what DAV said above

Help me out Sinclair or klasnic
December 9 at 12:40 pm
AnthonyJV says:
Really can’t make my mind up for this week
A) VDV to Mata
B) VDV to Nani
C) Do nothing and have 2 free transfers for next week?
December 9 at 1:42 pm
Grunter75 says:
Mata v Man City you may as well wait and Nani could catch fire against wolves but its a gamble as he’s been very quiet recently so I’d be tempted to sit tight and wait a week.

ASAP Rocky says:
Need some help gents, in a bit of a pickle.
2 freebies this GW. No money in the bank.
Vorm – Ruddy
Jones – Brown – Enrique – Simpson – Wilkinson
Silva – Bale – Brunt – Drenthe – Ramsey
RVP – Rooney – Adebayor
I want in Adam, Nani, VDV for Drenthe and Ramsey. Can’t seem to make it work without kicking Rooney out, which I will not do. RVP and Adebayor are staying. Please help!!
December 9 at 1:18 pm
ASAP Rocky says:
Obviously, one of Adam, Nani, or VDV.
December 9 at 1:33 pm
Grunter75 says:
So you want to buy a more expensive player without selling one?! I’m no mathmation but…..
Your only other option is to remove Silva if your not willing to do that then whats the point in your question?!
December 9 at 1:29 pm
Grunter75 says:
Vorm (Begovic)
Vermalen, Enrique, Assou Akotto, Richards (doubt), Jones
DVD, Silva, Walters (Drenthe(doubt)) (Dyer)
RVP, Adebayor, (Hoilett)
1FT and 0 cash
Whats everyones thoughts on the team and potential transfers??
I was thinking DVD for Bale to free up cash to spend on a better striker in the coming weeks but with Richards and Drenthe doubtful might need to shore up the subs bench
December 9 at 3:47 pm
vkel says:
I think you are good for this week, no need to do VDV to Bale yet. 2 FT next week will make your life much easier, especially in taking care of injury situation.
December 9 at 3:49 pm
tarumit says:
vorm (ruddy)
simpson, showX, jones, vermelan (tiernery)
silva, bale, mata (Walters, dyer)
Ba, ade, RVP (C)
any suggestion for next 2 or 3 gm..
December 9 at 3:52 pm
vkel says:
that’s a really good team actually. Though if you feel you must do something, get a United attacking coverage.
December 9 at 3:56 pm
tarumit says:
i have roneey from GW1 to 12 but get rid of him for adeba..
December 9 at 5:40 pm
doncastro says:
Team for this week
Vorm (Hilario)
J Evans , BAE, Enrique ( R, Taylor, Caulker)
Silva, Brunt, Sinclair, Nani (Ferguson)
Adebayor, Rooney , RVP
This weeks i’ve done Aguero – Rooney and Shawcross – J Evans for a 4 point hit
Happy enough with team but I cant decide whether to put RVP or Rooney captain…
