We’ve had the ball in for an examination – we’ve screened it for fibres from Hatem Ben Arfa’s boots and we can now reveal that the results were inconclusive. The forensics proved nothing – Quincy has let us down.

As you may have guessed, last weekend’s events at the Sports Direct Arena and the Fantasy Premier League’s assist ruling provides the topic of discussion for this week’s ScoutCast. Wrapped around that, Mark and I throw in the usual regulars and I try my best to keep my chin up throughout, despite the widening mini-league gap.

Bring this week’s episode in for an examination via this link. Or stream the evidence from the handy player below.

    Zep Guardiola - The secret to finishing bottom is losing. says:

    My current transfer plans are:

    GW33 Suarez > Cisse
    GW34 Miyaichi > Sess

    I know that Suarez and Miyaichi have decent DGWs but I’m not convinced they will do better than Sess and Cisse over these weeks…

    to play in GW34… 10 players

    Vorm (Krul)
    Caulker Verm Evans (Baines Simpson)
    Valencia Sess Walcott Siggy (Bale)
    RVP Rooney (Cisse)

    GW35 No transfer
    GW36 Rooney, Walcott & Caulker > Adebayor, Mata & BAE (4pt hit)

    to play in GW36… 8 DGWers

    KRUL
    BAE BAINES SIMPSON
    BALE sess MATA siggy
    rvp ADE CISSE

    Alternative I could do…

    GW35 No transfer
    GW36 Rooney & Walcott > Adebayor & VDV/Mata (no hit)

    to play in GW36… 7 DGWers

    KRUL
    caulker/verm BAINES SIMPSON
    BALE sess VDV/MATA siggy
    rvp ADE CISSE

    How does this look, and which is better?

        7/8 is enough for me…

        I don’t want to upset the balance of my team for the last 2 games…

        10 + 11 + 7 = 28 games without a hit… but as I’ve said before I don’t want DGWers just because they have a DGW… I want the right ones, and I’m willing to sacrifice an extra DGWer to get the right one…

      First one looks good.

      Question: 36pts back of ML leader with good differentials(siggy, tonyV, cisse, komp, verm), capt rooney(same as him) or capt valencia(he doesnt have)??

        Zep Guardiola - The secret to finishing bottom is losing. says:

        With Rooney as captain you can’t lose any more ground on him regardless of how well he does, whilst gaining on him with your good differentials…

        If Valencia does well you’ll gain on him anyway… If you captain Valencia and he does well you’ll gain even more, but if he doesn’t score well and Rooney does, you’ll lose even more ground on him…

        Therefore, Rooney is the only option here…

      GW 36 do Rooney & Valencia > Adebayor and VDV
      Keep Walcott: GWs 37 & 38: NOR/wba whereas Valencia has SWA/sun and risks being rotated if Man U have already won the title.

      VDV is a better option for GWs 36, 37 and 38 than Mata imo.

      Both are good options. I’d normally say, don’t take a hit, but all BAE needs to do is score 4 more points than Verm for it to work out, and he’ll be someone you want to play in the last 2 fixtures as well.

    Really dont know what to do this week guys…have 2 FT and also a wildcard free which will be used for GW36.

    Current team is :

    Vorm (Krul)
    Enrique – Evans – Shotton (N.Taylor, Bardsley)
    Bale – Dempsey – Siggy – Valencia (McClean)
    Rooney (C) – Suarez (vc) – RVP.

    No money in bank and not a clue on what to do this week….possibly dempsey to sess but its pointless for this gw i feel….?! Any help greatly appreciated for a confused soul!

            Just seems a waste if I don’t make use of a transfer this week though =(

      Dempsey is causing me the same problem too.

      If I want to replace him with Walcott in GW33 (he has 2 great fixtures on paper anyway) and get Dempsey back for GW35 then I have to go with McClean.

      I’m having second thoughts now though as Dempsey has 2 away games and I think Sess is going to score well between GW34-36 anyway.

      it would mean keeping sess for the DGW and only having a max of 7 DGW’ers in GW36.

      Aaaargh!

      But the more I think about it the more I think Sess is must have for that period as I think he’s going to go mental points wise and I’m not sure McClean will.

      Wos reckon dead zoners?

                    Thanks, but I would consider this a really bad season! It can still finish well though…

                    You are similarly consistent!

                    I don’t mind Ba, all it takes is two goals from him and all his detractors will be shipping out Cisse and buying him in – one of the perils of buying either of a pair of near identical strikers.

                    Any views on the dempsey/walcott/sessegnon dilemma? Take a look at my team and tell me what I should do!

      Save transfer for 2 FT’s next week .

      Do Simpson to Turner (sun) next week and get a GW34 keeper the week after (Vorm would be my recommendation) so you can put out 3 decent defenders.

      At the moment you are currently going to put out only 7 players in GW34 and you have 2 DGW36 keepers and you can only play one of them in GW36.

    Could really need some help guys. My team this GW:

    Bogdan
    Enrique – McAuley – Evans – Caulker
    Myiachi – Bale – Valencia
    Rooney (v) – Suarez – RvP

    Bench: Schwarzer – Yaya – Richards – Moses

    Should I do Moses to Siggy? If so, who should I bench to fit in Siggy? Or should I just save my transfer. Feels like a sideways move selling Moses since he has a game in gw34.

    Cheers guys.

          He has a double double soon BUT he might be rested this week, at least moses plays in Gw 34, you can sell Moses in Gw 35 for another mid who has a double, after all we are talking about Bolton.

          Yes, we must :) We both missed LOADS of sitters. :-)

    Rafael has put in some amazing performances, yet he is going to be rotated isnt he? I want a second united defender….where should I look? Ferdinand?

    My league leader is bringing in Cisse, what other forward besides Sturridge should I look at? Bendtner?

      Jukesy says:

      I’m thinking of bringing in Rafael, he’s playing too well to be rotated at the moment, and someone else starting at RB would mess up the balance of the side.

      O’Neill’s talk of rotation could mean Bendtner sees less game time, and Chelsea have such congested fixtures (though it may be that RDM saves Sturridge for the Prem).

    Ok lads, down to these 2 options for my transfer strategy. Apologies for the lengthy post, but would appreciate anyone who spends the time to take a look and provide any feedback to help me decide. Cheers

    JEvans, Kompany, Skrtel, Caulker, Shotton

    PLAN A
    GW32: Shotton -> Kaboul
    GW33: Surman & Suarez -> Bale & Bendtner
    GW34: Dempsey -> Sess
    GW35: Save
    GW36: Kompany, Valencia & Rooney -> Baines, Mata & Adebayor (4 point hit)

    PLAN B
    GW32: Surman -> McClean

“I understand you don't consider Dempsey a striker. He has developed into playing in different positions, but for me he is a pure striker. ”

Andre Villas-Boas reveals his views on Clint Dempsey's best position.
