The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety One – Honeytrap

2,439 Comments
Share

Granville loves a double Gameweek. He circles them like a fly around honey, so often falling for their hollow promises and duplicitous charm. Will Gameweek 16 be any different? Certainly my esteemed rival has the momentum; after closing our mini-league gap to just three points, Granville is in confident mood as we chew the fat on the this week’s double header, lament the Baines phantom injury and the not-so-phantom Bale affliction.

The regulars are present and correct, as we chat Michu, Fellaini and Suarez vs Ba in “all aboard”, preview the rest of the weekend fixtures, tamper with the failing ScoutCast team and reveal a new arrival in our members area for the New Year.

Buzz round this latest temptation via this link or use the player below the stream the sweetness.

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

        Cheers, was the only difficult choice. My thinking is Hammers defence are decent at home and Sterling isn't racking big points lately. He'll probably be Red's most forward player but I think they'll play it fairly tight. West Brom need to bounce back and Arsenal defence is very beatable and Long's pace and decent crosses will trouble them.

        He should be. Yeah I think it's been 3 games since the sending off. Berbatov doesn't seem a bad captain choice this week either...I'm concerned by the lack of form however, hmmm

          Coloccini is back for Newcastle, no? And Ruiz is not fit yet. Berba captain might be risky.

    Hey dz, some help please:

    A) Play both rafael and demel and save ft
    b) play rafael and get someone in for bale
    c) play demel and get someone in for bale

    Who do i get in for bale? Dempsey?
    Silva - doubt, mata - blank, walcott doubt, santi - meh just sold him. Nobody really atractive atm.

    Current team:

    Bego McCarthy
    Rafael Demel Nelsen Cuellar Enrique
    Sterling Michu Fellaini Sessegnon Bale
    RVP Berba Suarez

      c. United will very likely concede, West Ham a good choice of not conceding against a Suarez-less Liverpool. Bale's price dropping and out for another two weeks. Maybe look at some Arsenal cover for their upcoming fixtures. Innit.

    A wee bit all over the shop right now and not had much time to work on my team. This is currently how they line up:

    Mignolet (DGW)
    Ivanovic - Enrique - Cuellar (DGW) - Gorkss (DGW)
    Fellaini - Michu (VC) - Sessengnon (C) - Sterling
    RVP - Berbatov

    Begovic - Demel - Bale* - Suarez*

    Would you do:

    1. Bale to Cazorla and play instead of Sterling
    2. Gorkss to Shorey and play him
    3. Nothing and save transfer
    4. Other, if so what?

    Also bench & captain make sense?

    Thanks in advance.....
