The ScoutCast – Episode Seventy Six – Preparation D
Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: G-G-Granville
Hitting the airwaves early this week, the ScoutCast makes a return to the fray with preparations for the double fixtures still using up our headspace. Mark and I rinse through the latest permutations of Gameweek 36, almost exhausted by the tactical nuances on offer. It’s almost too much for a Tuesday afternoon.
Of course, the podcast regulars rear their head and I do my upmost to keep my chin up despite the mini-league gap: Mark tries desperately not to gloat and fails as always. You never know – maybe all those eggs he’s put in the basket of Gameweek 36 are destined to be scrambled.

China Mag says:
I had a worrying thought last night. I’ve been thinking all along that I can match my rival for GW36, even without a wildcard, as I will have 2 x sun and 2 x swa with strong fixtures (plus tevez). But then I realized that i am thinking in terms of hits. ie Caulker v wolves at home is better than cahill for a 4pt hit. But if I was on a wild card, surely cahill would be a better option? The same all the way through the team. Siggie might be a better option than most DGW players, but then he has two crap fixtures after, so I probably wouldn’t get him in on a wild card.
Now i’m worried that i’ll need well more than my current 18 point lead going into the DGW. Thoughts?
April 19 at 2:37 am
Acquafresca says:
You’ll be fine
Stick in there and keep asking for advice and you shall prevail.
April 19 at 2:39 am
China Mag says:
I’m going to be asking for shed loads of advice in the lead up to the big one. Rooney – City forward this week, was a no brainer. Next week is doing my head in!!
April 19 at 2:41 am
tw says:
good luck mate! whats your team looking like now/what are you potentially thinking for the double?
April 19 at 2:49 am
China Mag says:
This week
—————-Mignolet————
—–Evans–Kompany–Santon
Walcott–Siggie–Barfa–Valencia
——–Tevez–RVP–Dave——-
Howard, Caulker, Turner, Sess
Planning for the DGW:
Walcott/Valencia – Bale
Kompany – Baines
Will give me only 6 DGW (4pt hit)
After that hit, I will still have a 14 pt lead to play with (if we get equal points this week), so could maybe do 2-3 more hits if necessary
What do you reckon?
April 19 at 2:42 am
Acquafresca says:
Keep calm, deep breaths.
You’ll have a week to ponder after GW35
April 19 at 2:43 am
tw says:
btw how smart is your rival? like how wisely do you think they will use their wc? or waht are the odds they dont know about it or will forget about it and you’re in luck!??
April 19 at 2:50 am
China Mag says:
Ha. My rival has won our mini league for the last 5 years running! And he comes on here. So I’m guessing that he will make great use of his wild card!!
April 19 at 2:58 am
Acquafresca says:
Who is this mystery man
April 19 at 3:04 am
China Mag says:
Fingers crossed that he just comes on here to check the articles, and doesn’t trawl through the comments!!!
April 19 at 2:36 am
Acquafresca says:
Really need a lot of opinions guys!
Who to bench out of these mids?? Pick 1:
Valencia(EVE) Walcott(CHE) BArfa(STO) Siggy(bol) Dempsey(WIG)
April 19 at 2:38 am
crystalpalaceRus says:
walcott for me
April 19 at 2:39 am
tw says:
valencia or barfa
April 19 at 2:40 am
China Mag says:
Valencia for sure (maybe)
April 19 at 2:54 am
Test Eagles says:
Valwalbarfsigsempsey
April 19 at 2:54 am
Test Eagles says:
But Valencia for mine
April 19 at 2:38 am
Nitin Nagaraja: Aguero or Tevez ? says:
Walcott -> Ben Arfa. Yay or nay ?
Already have Cisse, RVP, Vermaelen.
April 19 at 2:49 am
Ryan says:
Yay
April 19 at 2:51 am
Nitin Nagaraja: Aguero or Tevez ? says:
Cheers Ryan. Thanks
April 19 at 2:56 am
Test Eagles says:
Nah … any other mids you can trade instead … or at least wait a week until Barfa’s double
April 19 at 2:59 am
Nitin Nagaraja: Aguero or Tevez ? says:
Cheers. I think I’ll wait. Got Walcott, Valencia, Demps, Siggy, Surman btw.
April 19 at 2:39 am
crystalpalaceRus says:
ok this got lost on last page sorry
im chasing someone 20 odd pts ahead of me, should i just keep Rooney and Persie and hope Silva does good, or go for Rooney>Aguero (it would be a hit)
April 19 at 2:40 am
tw says:
really need some opinions guys!!
a)
get: hba (for at least this week and the double), bale, baines
lose: sess, walcott, enrique
b)
get: tevez (this week) ade (dgw through end), bale/vdv
lose: rooney, sess
c)
get: tevez (this week) ade (dgw through end), baines
lose: rooney, enrique
d) anything else?
April 19 at 2:51 am
China Mag says:
B) for me I think. Because it has tevez!!
Do you have dave? You need at least one of him and barfa
April 19 at 2:55 am
tw says:
c also has tevez! so why b over c? though both only for this week. was initially planning on a before this city resurgence but now im unsure….
yeahh i brought him in this week. currently team looks like this with 1ft for the week left
vorm, mig
verm, enrique, evans, simpson, kelly
demps, walcott, valencia, sess, siggy
rvp, rooney, cisse
the thing is I dont really want to hold onto either sess or enrique which is why a tempts me…
April 19 at 2:55 am
Ryan says:
a) for me, all day
April 19 at 2:40 am
Willis_Hide says:
I’m starting Krul, so which three defenders to play: Kompany (wol), Evans (EVE), Vermaelen (CHE), Santon (STO) or Riise (WIG)?
April 19 at 2:42 am
tw says:
first three!
April 19 at 2:42 am
Acquafresca says:
komp evans verm
April 19 at 2:53 am
applebonkers says:
kompany, evans, riise
April 19 at 2:42 am
jinswick says:
How does this plan look? Any better moves?
GW35: Valencia & Rooney -> Bale & Aguero (both free)
GW36: Kompany & Sessegnon -> Cahill & Mata (4 point hit)
Migs, Bogdan
Kompany, JEvans, Skrtel, Caulker, Turner
Dempsey, Walcott, Valencia, Sessegnon, Siggy
RVP, Rooney, P Cisse
Bank 0.6m, 2 free transfers
April 19 at 2:43 am
Acquafresca says:
Wow, today’s game is SERIOUSLY clouding your judgement. Rethink 36 transfers.
GW35 ones are fine.
April 19 at 2:46 am
jinswick says:
Yeah perhaps, I just think Chelsea are in for now and they have arguably the best DGW of them all. Downside with their players is rotation threat, but I just fancy Mata to start both as long as CHE are still in the hunt for 4th by next week, and if Luiz is out for a while then Cahill should also start both and is a threat at the other end.
April 19 at 2:48 am
Acquafresca says:
BArfa over mata for me. Clear mind, only focusing on 4th place. Chelsea have CL, 4th place, and cup finals to worry about.
April 19 at 2:48 am
tw says:
also even if you were to go offf today’s game, i dont think i’d go for mata. idk about you but he seemed pretty nonexistant for me. only chelsea players I really noticed were drogs, ramires, terry, cashley, cech and cahill. and then ivan just a bit.
April 19 at 2:45 am
tw says:
can you do tevez instead of aguero or not?
also for gw 36 what about getting barfa and baines in instead? don’t think a schedule of spurs, barca, arsenal, barca, qpr, newcastle, pool, pool in a relatively short period of time boads well for chelsea
April 19 at 2:46 am
crystalpalaceRus says:
Would u advise tevez over aguero?
April 19 at 2:48 am
tw says:
as long as you can afford everything else i probably would
April 19 at 2:47 am
Nitin Nagaraja: Aguero or Tevez ? says:
This. Stay away from Chelsea and Liv
April 19 at 2:48 am
jinswick says:
Yeah I could get Tevez but I’m in the Aguero camp i think. More nailed on, playing more advanced, getting more shots in, on pens etc. It’s a very, very close call though.
Not sure getting Barfa in GW36 is a great idea – a very tough double (both away against a team battling relegation and a team fighting them for 4th). Baines could be good though.
April 19 at 2:52 am
tw says:
up to you really. if i go for either ill go for tevez but good luck to you!
the way i see it, newcastle will be battling for 4th as well! and chelsea will be tired/rotated/distracted just look at their schedule ithat I just wrote out. and qpr will be battling just as hard if not harder than wigan will as they are 3pts behind wigan right now. and I think baines shoudl def be better than cahill
April 19 at 2:52 am
China Mag says:
If Mata does play both games, he will be knackered and useless when he plays us. I hope he does!! But I expect him to be benched for QPR
April 19 at 4:37 am
Canadian Football says:
Terry is my Chelsea man for DGW
April 19 at 2:46 am
Geezer says:
My team:
Schwarzer (Mig)
Verm Evans Simpson (Caulker) Bardsley
Walcott Siggi Dempsey Valencia (Sess)
RVP Rooney Cisse
2 FT, and 1.3 M in the bank
My plan right now is to do Sess -> HBA this GW.
And Walcott and Verm to Bale and BAE to the DGW.
What do you think?
April 19 at 2:46 am
Alonso The Great Midfielder says:
my gw36 team
krul
cahill-verm-huth
mata-dempsey-bale-siggy-MAXI
cisse-aguero/ade/jelly
i think maxi will get time to play between the two games…
April 19 at 2:46 am
McTown says:
Just did rooney + walcott – tevez + dempsey. Now how to captain tevez or demps or RVP or valencia or siggy?
April 19 at 2:48 am
crystalpalaceRus says:
Im wanting Tevez, would you advise him over aguero then? (id captain tevez anyway)
April 19 at 2:52 am
McTown says:
figured got something to prove and imo mancini would drop aguero before tevez. city need to win and win big (goal differnece) so yeah. plus his price is rising in a bit
April 19 at 2:53 am
crystalpalaceRus says:
If i got him in it’d be a hit for Rooney. (or cisse i could)
April 19 at 2:55 am
McTown says:
oh a hit. mine was for free so easier decision. for a it not sure its worth it. tevez might crumble under the pressure of having to score 1 more goal than the others
April 19 at 2:56 am
crystalpalaceRus says:
I do have Silva, so i might just stick with Rooney and Persie and hope Silva gets involved a bit.
April 19 at 3:02 am
McTown says:
yeah a good differnetial at this point
April 19 at 2:49 am
Acquafresca says:
yes, thats what all the cool kids are doing. Tevez(C)
April 19 at 2:52 am
McTown says:
sweet. yeah gives me arsenal, city, utd, fulham cover amongst others so should be ok
April 19 at 2:55 am
jinswick says:
What transfers would YOU make to this team this week?
Bogdan, (Migs)
Kompany, JEvans, Skrtel, (Caulker), (Turner)
Dempsey, Walcott, Valencia, Siggy, (Sessegnon)
RVP, Rooney, P Cisse
Bank 0.6m, 2 free transfers
April 19 at 2:57 am
Acquafresca says:
Rooney+Sess->Tevez+Barfa
April 19 at 2:58 am
China Mag says:
Still Rooney – Tevez/ Aguero!!
April 19 at 3:01 am
jinswick says:
Why is it so hard to lose Rooney or RVP?!
What do you think about Turner & Sess -> J Collins & Barfa? Or should I just ignore AVL players all together?
April 19 at 3:02 am
China Mag says:
I’m ignoring villa players. Waste of a valuable transfer if you ask me.
April 19 at 3:04 am
Acquafresca says:
just do what i said above, captain tevez, and thank me later
April 19 at 3:00 am
tw says:
rooney to tevez, save teh other free.
next week, tevez to ade, srktel to baines, sess to bale if affordable
April 19 at 3:05 am
jinswick says:
Do you reckon getting Aguero is worth losing the extra DGWer for GW36?
I could do:
GW35: Rooney -> Aguero
GW36: Kompany, Valencia & Aguero -> Baines, Bale & Ade (4 point hit)
Would give me 7 DGWers in GW36 – enough?
April 19 at 3:08 am
tw says:
thats what im debating.i think it could be worth it though! what extra dgwer would you be getting? thats the big question
April 19 at 3:25 am
jinswick says:
I possibly wouldn’t be getting another DGWer, so it would just save me 4 points and I’d have Rooney (EVE) vs Aguero (wol)
April 19 at 3:45 am
Dazzler says:
You are safer to go Rooney straight to Adebayor imo.
I have Tevez – Aguero – Cisse for this week. BOOM
April 19 at 3:00 am
Nitin Nagaraja: Aguero or Tevez ? says:
Rooney -> Tevez
April 19 at 2:59 am
McTown says:
Team this week all done 0 ft left.
Krul Mignolet
Vermaelen Enrique Simpson Evans Caulker
Dempsey Bale Valencia Sess Sigurdsson
Tevez(C) RVP Adebayor
looking good guys?
April 19 at 3:03 am
Acquafresca says:
Looks good. I have a similar team but might have to bench valencia.
April 19 at 3:07 am
tw says:
looks good. bench sess or valencia along with simpson (assuming you play krul) and enrique probably
April 19 at 3:18 am
McTown says:
yep benching sess but its verm v enrique atm.
April 19 at 3:04 am
ralphooo says:
FINALLY finished my transfers so I’m now looking at the betting front. Which of these do you reckon are good value?
A) Citeh-2 @ $2.05
B) Citeh-3 @ $3.8
C) Citeh win to nil @ $2.1
D) Over 3.5 goals @ $2
E) Something safer?
April 19 at 3:05 am
tw says:
D?
April 19 at 3:06 am
tw says:
hey could I get a couple more opinions up above? thanks a lot!
April 19 at 3:08 am
Acquafresca says:
can you get tevez and hba? thats what ive done.
April 19 at 3:11 am
ralphooo says:
Exact transfers I did!
April 19 at 3:13 am
tw says:
for this week? i could get them in for rooney and sess but it would mean a hit as i’ve already gotten cisse in for the yak
April 19 at 3:10 am
ralphooo says:
C) followed closely by B)
April 19 at 3:14 am
tw says:
thanks
April 19 at 3:07 am
China Mag says:
Differentials for this week.
Me: Kompany, Siggie, Barfa
Rival: Richards, Bale, McClean
This is presuming he gets in a city forward rooney.
I’m hoping to gain a few points on him in the lead up to next week. Looking good?
April 19 at 3:11 am
tw says:
on paper you should gain a few points on him but for all you know bale could suddenly score a hat trick or something
. now if he doesn’t get a city forward then i think you should gain quite a few points on him!
by the way, care to respond up above?
April 19 at 3:15 am
China Mag says:
Alreet. Sorry, should have said that b) also has bale. I think Bale is vital for the DGW. Only look to get VDV as well as Bale, not instead of.
April 19 at 3:19 am
tw says:
its alright. so you think bale is needed in addition to ade? just a gut feeling or any reason?
i wouldn’t be getting both vdv itd be either him or bale but probably bale
April 19 at 3:24 am
China Mag says:
I expect there to be goals in Spurs’ DGW, so won’t go near their defence. But when spurs score, bale is usually involved.
April 19 at 3:28 am
tw says:
makes sense. thanks
April 19 at 3:11 am
Acquafresca says:
you look in good form China.
how about me:
ME: Tevez(C), Demps, Siggy, BArfa, Kompany, Verm
HIM: Rooney, Demps(C), Valencia, Sess, Enrique, Simpson
April 19 at 3:14 am
tw says:
i’d give that one to you by a decent amount!
April 19 at 3:16 am
China Mag says:
WOW! On paper, you should cream him this week
April 19 at 3:13 am
Oncemoreuntothebreach says:
I’ve got to say that the 8/1 available on an Everton win looks very generous to me.
April 19 at 3:14 am
jinswick says:
Which route do you prefer?
(A) – The ‘Conservative, DGW only’ route
GW35: Walcott -> Bale
GW36: Turner & Rooney -> Baines & Adebayor
(B) – The ‘Scared of no MCY attack’ route
GW35: Rooney -> Aguero
GW36: Kompany, Valencia & Aguero -> Baines, Bale & Adebayor (4 point hit)
Boils down to this match up:
(A) Bale (qpr), Rooney (EVE) & 4 points
(B) Walcott (CHE) & Aguero (wol)
April 19 at 3:16 am
Acquafresca says:
B, you know you’ll be shitting the bed until the city game
April 19 at 3:17 am
China Mag says:
4 pts is not a lot to pay for piece of mind!!!
April 19 at 3:19 am
jinswick says:
Yeah I know, but Rooney could still outscore Aguero!
April 19 at 3:20 am
China Mag says:
But your rival will more than likely swap him for a city forward. So it won’t matter
April 19 at 3:24 am
jinswick says:
Haha, perhaps. But looking at the matchups, what scores do you reckon each will get? QPR cannot defend so I see Bale outscoring Walcott this week. I reckon
(A) Bale (13), Rooney (7) + 4 points
(B) Walcott (8), Aguero (12)
April 19 at 3:28 am
China Mag says:
A few chelsea fans on here suggested that the one player they will fear this week will be walcott. His pace against their tired legs. Made me stick with walcott anyway. QPR away is a tough proposition these days. I don’t see rooney scoring more than one against everton
April 19 at 3:33 am
jinswick says:
I’m actually worried about the Chelsea game, as an Arsenal fan. We looked terrible against Wigan and we will really miss Arteta – he is the link between defence and attack for us.
April 19 at 3:16 am
smash says:
Worked out I can get the following for an 8pt hit in time for GW36, 8 double week players, I’ll also have the option to play Kelly (Fulham) if I want, realize it’ll be similar to other ppls teams but think it looks ok?
(Bogdan)
(Walker) (Baines) (Cahill)
(Bale) (Dempsey) (Pienarr) Siggurson
(Cisse) RVP Tevez
also do people fancy Tevez to do well against united, ex player and all
cheers.
April 19 at 3:22 am
tw says:
can you stick to a 4pt hit and have one less dgw player?
April 19 at 3:28 am
smash says:
Could keep McClean instead of bringing in Pienarr (kinda fancied him as a differential) or not bring Baines in but I’m planning on flogging Mica Richards as he’s not been starting, other move is Nasri out for Bale
Think l might keep on tinkering then, try to keep the it to just a 4pt hit
cheers for replying.
April 19 at 3:33 am
tw says:
what does your current team look like? maybe i can help
April 19 at 3:18 am
tw says:
sorry i never know… how long til price rises?
April 19 at 3:18 am
Acquafresca says:
around 3 30 usually.
April 19 at 3:19 am
Oncemoreuntothebreach says:
Very very very soon.
April 19 at 3:20 am
tw says:
crap! means i have to decide on transfer plans in the next 10 min or so….
April 19 at 3:22 am
Oncemoreuntothebreach says:
Correct. Get Tevez and give him the armband.
April 19 at 3:25 am
tw says:
really want tevez but also really really want to get rid of sess and enrique and be able to bring in bale and baines for them for the double and the last two games…. ughhhh not sure which is more worthwhile
who do you think will score more gw 36-38
rooney or ade?
baines or enrique?
hba or sess?
walcott or bale?
and how much do you think tevez will outscore rooney by this week?
April 19 at 3:29 am
Acquafresca says:
tic toc. Get tevez
April 19 at 3:33 am
tw says:
gahhhh just did it!
worth an 8pt hit next week?
enrique, sess, walcott out, baines, barfa, bale in
April 19 at 3:34 am
Acquafresca says:
maybe. I might take an 8 pt hit depending on baines fitness.
April 19 at 3:36 am
tw says:
assuming he’s fit you think that would be a good move given end of the season fixtures and the double? only one i wouldn’t wanna get rid of is walcott but i think the three id be bringing in would be worth it and i’d have some free cash to play aroudn with for the final two weeks
April 19 at 3:39 am
Acquafresca says:
yea. My transfers would be:
Valencia+tevez+kompany-> bale, ade, baines.(-8)
Depending on if i want ade.
April 19 at 3:44 am
tw says:
gotcha. and what would you do if you dont want ade? haha
if tevez has another .1 rise then i could do either
tevez sess enrique out for ade bale baines
or
sess walcott enrique out for hba bale baines
so would you prefer ade+walcott or tevez+hba for the final two gws?
cheers!
April 19 at 3:49 am
Acquafresca says:
that all depends on form. I’ll keep barfa, and get out siggy in 37 for someone like moses perhaps.
Ill want ade if he looks promising vs qpr this weekend.

gotcha. not a bad idea actually! sorry i meant which combo would be better for the double and the final two gws
gotcha. problem is i doubt i’ll see that game as i’ll probably be sleeping (i’m in america so 8hr time difference) and then be watching the classico!

China Mag says:
Don’t look at hits as a collective (unless you need to make one transfer to afford another)
Assess each hits on its individual merits
Enrique + 4pts v Baines? BAINES
Sess + 4 pts v Barfa? Not sure. Barfas following fixtures are very tough. If you are going to take a hit for him, do it this week v STK
Walcott + 4 pts v Bale? BALE
I know that one of these transfers is free, but you get my drift!!
April 19 at 3:49 am
tw says:
good point. cheers mate! i’d need to either downgrade sess to barfa or tevez to ade in order to afford enrique to baines.
hmmm maybe i should bring in barfa this week… really comes down to ade+walcott or tevez+hba for the final two gws. which do you think?
also if i brough him in who would u start him over out of valencia, siggy, walcott, dempsey. valencia right?
April 19 at 3:53 am
China Mag says:
Impossible to decide between those pairs for the last two. All depends on who still has something to play for by that stage.
Start barfa over valencia this week.

china mag, im guessing you live in china? i’ve just moved to nanjing and am wondering what is the best way about watching the games live
April 19 at 4:14 am
China Mag says:
你好！！
You could always come down to suzhou and watch them with me! I’m only 1-2 hours away depending on which train you catch!!
Failing that, you can watch ALL games live on chinese on demand TV through the internet. You get a box free with an upgrade internet connection. If you need more details, email me at mjtame@gmail.com and i’ll ask the wife exactly how to go about getting it.
Foreign orientated bars usually have the phillipino satellite system which has espn and star sports. Most of the big games are on there. The Blue Marlin is probably your best bet for that.
What are you doing over here?
April 19 at 4:50 am
Ryan says:
Ade
Baines
HBA
Bale
Hmm, apart from baines I have all of those, call me biased if you want
April 19 at 4:51 am
Ryan says:
I don’t think Tevez will outscore Rooney by much. Maybe enough to pay for a hit perhaps.
April 19 at 3:31 am
shifty powers says:
I’m unsure which keeper and 3 defenders I should play at the back this weekend.
I have this bunch to choose from…
Schwarzer, Mignolet
Evans, Verm, Kelly, Baines, BAE
April 19 at 3:33 am
Acquafresca says:
schwartz
evans verm BAE

cheers.
Mignolet vs Schwarzer is giving me nightmares.
April 19 at 3:51 am
tw says:
actually, now that i think about it i might opt for mig tbh
April 19 at 3:31 am
3:00:17 says:
Starting Xi and subs order ok?
Bog
Evans Simps Caulker
Valencia Siggy Demps Walcott
Rvp Cisse (v) Aguero (c)
Subs: Migs, Sess Kaboul Mcauley
Thanks in advance
April 19 at 3:37 am
tw says:
think so. i’d probably start migs but bogdans got the dgw so i guess its a gamble really
April 19 at 3:37 am
The Shuffling says:
Hope Aguero to rise in price..
April 19 at 3:39 am
The Shuffling says:
Too bad.. He didn’t rise.
Price Rise: Tevez, Siggy, Barfa
April 19 at 3:40 am
Acquafresca says:
grr..komp on 98%!
April 19 at 3:44 am
The Shuffling says:
It would help to price him out of reach for some of my rivals..
April 19 at 3:46 am
jinswick says:
Which would you rather for the DGW?
a) Caulker (WOL)
b) Turner (BOL)
c) BAE (BLA/bol) – 4points
d) A Cole (QPR/NEW) – 4 points
e) Cahill (QPR/NEW) – 4 points
April 19 at 3:50 am
tw says:
f) baines
if not then a) caulker
April 19 at 3:50 am
China Mag says:
BAE might be a good shout, as he has two good fixtures after the double, while swansea and sunderland have rubbish fixtures, so he has plenty of chance to earn the 4 pts back.
I’m trying to decide on Caulker/ Turner – BAE -> 4 pts myself
April 19 at 3:51 am
China Mag says:
I really don’t see a chelsea clean sheet in either of those games
April 19 at 3:52 am
Acquafresca says:
Caulker. Or Baines. All Chelsea players will be tired/rotated.

Miyaichi or Sess this week? please note the lack of playing time for Miy
April 19 at 3:50 am

Is there anyone out there thats not getting tevez or aguero and sticking by roonz and perse
April 19 at 4:17 am
Dazzler says:
no chance. Got both City Lads in, and (c) for Aguero. Currently 4900 in the world, and looking to take it by storm
April 19 at 4:27 am
Desertbug says:
absolute chance. Got neither City Lads in, and (c) for somebody else. Currently 4784 in the world and looking to take it by storm
April 19 at 4:34 am
Desertbug says:
but honestly, I don’t know if that’s the right thing to have done. I just had to undo something I had done previously and can’t bring those guys in without taking a hit. Am still in the FPL Open and don’t want to give any points away if don’t have to.
April 19 at 4:34 am
triggerlips says:
Already had Aguero for last week
Thats why im top 1400 and taking it by storm
April 19 at 4:37 am
Desertbug says:
Nice. Hope he keeps it up for you.
April 19 at 4:39 am
Desertbug says:
But then again, it looks like you did most of your standings climb before he ever graced your team. Nice season, though.
April 19 at 4:10 am

for the double and the final two gws
a) ade+walcott
b) tevez+hba

Depends on results this GW. If EVE manage a draw vs MU, b).

Thoughts on Ireland for this GW? Might sell Sess or is he worth playing vs Bolton at home in GW36?
April 19 at 4:23 am
China Mag says:
Wouldn’t look at villa players unless you have a WC next week
April 19 at 4:27 am
China Mag says:
But if i was to consider a villa player, it would be for ireland (or a defender)
April 19 at 4:31 am
TorresMagic™ (BENFICA) - Click link for FPL Open & Elite 64 Quarter Final draws. says:
For sure, nearly went the defender route last week but they scored 0 anyway. Either a defender or Ireland if I want to take a risk.
April 19 at 4:36 am
Desertbug says:
bleh, I look at Villa-Sunderland and Villa-Bolton and see a couple of 1-1 games. Don’t rate any of the defenses well enough to keep clean sheets and nobody seems on fire on the offensive end either.
April 19 at 4:24 am
KRUL FOR NO.1 HOLLAND says:
best combo for DGW36 :
A. Sess + Jagielka
or
B. Pienaar + Turner
April 19 at 4:25 am
crystalpalaceRus says:
What 1 should i play out of Enrique, Walker or Turner
Im easing towards Enrique, surely he isnt dropped?
April 19 at 4:38 am
triggerlips says:
Im like you , have him and it too late to dump him now. Will play him.
In an ideal world i would take him out for another DGW just like i would swap Myachi to Petrov. But we only so many trnsfers so have to go with what we got
April 19 at 4:48 am
Jafalad says:
Walker. Not sure Liverpud do cs anymore.
