The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Three – Kids

The latest episode, created mid-afternoon today, was not recorded amidst a playground, although, at times, the background noise and smutty innuendo would suggest as much.

While the fruit of our loins play merrily in adjacent rooms, Granville and I retire to find some quiet and systematically pull apart another week of Fantasy football with all the usual regulars thrown in. Granville has a 22-point lead to show for his efforts, while I’m doing all I can to remain calm after what can best be described as a false start. The green arrows are coming. Surely they’re coming?

    Good morning.

    Interested in the views of the DZs as Alawys.

    Ok then, thinking ZERO trades this week…

    Here are the boys…

    Foster.
    Cole, Baines, Demel
    Bale, Nolan, Michu, Felliani
    RVP, Ba, tevez

    Bench. Kacankailc, Gunter, Clark.

    Thoughts?

        Good point.

        I need so good city coverage for their great attacking run, but will that be tevez?

        I am not even sure how much aguero will feature.

        Maybe keep tevez this week, and upgrade to aguero after intl with 2 fts?

          Yep, sounds good. If I were to bring in Aguero, RVP will have to go as I don't have enough to upgrade others... unless I downgrade the midfield area first, and then another FT the following week for Aguero.

            I have ended up with aguero and RVP (not to mention i still have torres) and it does destroy your midfield. I like silva in mid and leave it at that for city cover.

    A] Pick one of Saylor (MUN); Cuellar (liv); Gunter (swa)
    - - - Saylor and Cuellar; injured and Gunter didn't even play last weekend.

    B] Captain Hazard, Lambert, Bale or vPersie.

      Even if he delivers a decent score against Norwich I'm selling him over the international break. Very costly mistake getting him in for Bale 3 weeks ago!

      Looks like an excellent WC team to me. Do it, if it'll cost you more than 8/12 to get it without WC.

      My only change would be Silva to Caz, get some Arsenal coverage, rather than double up on City.

      But suppose that's a matter of personal preference.

    Morning folks.

    According to ESPN, in his 25 minute came appearance last night, Suarez managed 5 shots, 3 of which his the target.

    It's getting to the point where I think it'd be crazy to completely ignore him for 2 home game. The question is this - should we consider dumping Tevez, who looks set to get 60+ minutes, or roll the dice?

    I know a lot of people aren't crazy about Suarez but you have to say that regardless of what's happened in the past, he's a rare commodity - a player who has a huge amount of goal threat and is 100% nailed on for his team.

    I've got 2 free transfers personally and I'm waiting until after the international break for Tevez > Berbatov and perhaps Silva for Michu. I could live with delaying that for one week!

    Captain choice is hard this week! Exacerbated by how underwhelming everyone in my team was last gw.

    The temptations:

    Hazard - Norwich are having a tricky second season and failing to impress. Eden has the perfect opportunity to disprove his recent doubters.

    Michu - has a similar opportunity. Reading are very poor at the back. However Swansea are going through their own tough patch at the moment.

    Tevez - rested midweek, eminently capable, City lax at the back need to outscore Sunderland and need a win.

    RVP - Utd likewise need to bounce back and need plenty o goals to compensate a lack of defensive solidity. The most prolific goalscorer in the league.

    I know this has been debated a lot , but since I’m thinking of wc over break I’d like any opinions on dropping Rvp .
    Put simply because of his price , there’s at least 5m to be saved by dropping down to Jelly / Ba / Fletch / Berbatov , No rotation , all nailed on for 90 mins when fit and the funds saved you can gain access to some more quality Mf / Df .
    Surely your cumulative score say of 3 quality players eg Cole/ Pinnear/ Berbatov (20.4m) scores more than Clyne / Noble / Rvp (22,4) these are just typical examples and I even think you can still upgrade the first scenario or add it on elsewhere.
    Admittedly he’s always a decent capt choice but we’ve already seen him rested/rotated IMO his current price is more suited to when he was at Arsenal and the team was built around him. Rvp at united should be valued at 12 m I believe.

      Had the same logic - did not own Rvp at all this season and doing fine thank you.
      Only in one gw it actually hurt not to have him when he scored 15 points, and then I had tevez with the exact same score.
      The ability to have ba, Suarez, hazard, bale and cazorla and michu, plus baines and another heavy hitter in defense, outweighs Rvp points IMO.
      On gw11, when fixtures get much better, we might have a rethink.

    Jussi (Bego)

    Boyce - Baines - Clyne (Cuellar, Demel)

    Michu - Santi - HBA - Hazard (Noble)

    Plans:

    D: take a hit for Bale (HBA and someone who frees 1.2 cash out, who?)

          Did you see my suggestion a couple of pages back about downgrading one of your mids to get baines? Sterling is neither a bench sitter, or somebody you can rely on for every game. The rest of your mids and forwards you would want to play every game, so you will have a problem when sterling has a sweet fixture. I would get a cheaper mid that rotates well with sterling, and then get baines.
