The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Four – Santigold

Out of his pajamas and back in the studio, Granville and I reconvene after another dull international break to resume ScoutCast duties.

Arsenal’s new playmaker dominates, with the pair of us coveting Santi Cazorla’s charms and competing for his affections, whilst, in the back of our minds, wondering if we’re being taken in.

Robin Van Persie also gets some oxygen – don’t worry, that’s not oxygen treatment – he’s just the subject of this week’s discussion as we chew the fat on the “essential” debate that appears to rage on as the Gamweek’s roll by. The regulars all find their place amongst the merriment, as heat is turned up on the mini-league and mini-game struggle between myself and Mancunian magic man.

Grab the fools gold via this link, or stream it now via the player below…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Still can't choose between Morrison and Nolan...

    The 0.3 from Morrison will definitely come in useful in the next few weeks and my two mini league leaders both have Nolan...

      Cheers for the replies guys. Still as unsure as before to be honest!

      Not sure I want to transfer in a player I want to get rid of two weeks later when anything could happen with my team before then, but Nolan is a worry for the next two weeks.

    I have just looked at Spurs fixtures for the next couple months, and how can they be ranked number 1 for easiest run????? Ridiculous. Chelsea, three weeks later at City and then at Arsenal, then a London derby, then Liverpool, then at Fulham then the week after at Everton. Yes they have a few 'easy' fixtures in Swansea at home, Wigan home and Southampton away and so on, BUT do we still think Surs coverage is essential?

    I think I'd rather get more City and Arsenal in, and somehow try and keep RVP at the same time.

    RVP and Aguero up front would be beautiful..

    I’ve decided I’m wildcarding in 2 gameweeks time so I’m going to bring in loads of Arsenal players

    For a 4pt hit I’m going to do
    Tevez -> Giroud
    Lescott -> Vermaelen
    Hazard -> Cazorla

    It will leave this team:

    Foster
    Baines, Vermaelen, Davies
    Cazorla, Bale, Nolan, Michu
    RVP, Giroud(C), Lambert

    Subs: Federici, McCartney, Kacaniklic, Clyne

    Thoughts???

          keep cuellar if you have stuck with him so far. 4.5 playing for decent defending team. He's a keeper. I'm gonna switch hanglnd out for hughes when I can. Bit sideways but hughes is 4.5, nailed on and I watched him play the last game when he got the bonus. Looks good, if not spectacular and, again, plays for decent home team
          Do'nt touch those defenders...sometimes you have to sit through tough away weeks like this..gibbs and demel will be back v soon and both are gold

            thing i don't like about cuellar is he is never in attacking positions and i really feel you need all your defenders to have an attacking element because then you just rely on clean sheets which are hard to come by consistently. what are the odds newcastle doesn't score this weekend, probably not so good.

        Thing is, if Silva is out for more than a fortnight, then that gives me a nailed on attacking City player for wba, SWA, whm, when I can then get HBA for his really easy fixtures in GW 11.

        Have no other City, though that is perhaps irrelevant, and think Nas could score more than HBA who has sun, WBA, liv.

            Well Yaya is about to drop to 8.2 too.

            Nasri or Yaya over HBA?

            I hate wildcarding whilst planning transfers ahead of time. An injury crops up here, or someone scores a hattrick and suddenly I've got Nasri stuck in my team for the foreseeable future. hmm

      Not at this rate,

      According to fiso he needs around 800 transfers out in next half hour. In the last 2 hours and 45 mins hes had 42 out.

        That said, it comes with the caveat that though Fiso has been pretty reliable this year, they said that Fellani would drop last night (by about 10%), and Sahin wouldn't rise (2%). Fellani didn't and Sahin did so FISO can't have it exactly right.

      Downgrade Foster is the only way I can see you can release funds for Lambert > Ba. Otherwise it would unbalance a lovely team. (I won't suggest selling RVP as an option)

      Consider Walters for Morrison, as also has good fixtures and rotates better with Sterling.

            Thats the holy Potter trinity right there.

            I'm sorely tempted but actually have 8.2 mil to fill that spot so am tossing up between HBA, Nasri (now Silva's out), Oscar and Walters.

              Thing is he rotates terribly with Begovic. And IF federici returns any time soon, you're stuck with a 4m....3.9m.... keeper and have to rely on Begovic when his fixtures inevitably turn a lot trickier.
