The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety One – Honeytrap
Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: Mark
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.

Jaask; Sterling, Ridgewell, Suarez
Any suggestions?
December 6 at 9:22 pm

Clyne -> Morrison
December 6 at 9:25 pm

Not interested if its for a hit, already done Bale -> Sessegnon..

None of my subs will play. Go with this 11 or take hits?

MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
Good team! Why saddle it with minus points before you start?
December 6 at 9:26 pm
heartsattack says:
Because with three man city players you need a strong bench but you’re right I think I should stick.
December 6 at 9:24 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
Trouble is I think I am going to have to keep Bale cos there are no mids I want apart from the ones I already have (Caz, Bale, Fellaini, Michu, Sterling)
Will just have to concentrate naking the rest of my squad stronger.
I think a lot of people are going to look at their squads after the DGW with their Sunderland and Reading players and think…”why? why???”
I fell for it last year with Liverpool players
December 6 at 9:25 pm
Manani says:
very solid midfield, but I would take out bale for sess(although you don’t like dgw) he is playing oop and you can get bale back and sess can be a short punt
December 6 at 9:27 pm
The Viper says:
Exactly what i’ve done (Had the same midfield otherwise)

Suarez (c) Goal and 3 assist wasn’t it?
December 6 at 9:28 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
I was thinking more about my double Liv defence which proceeded to get a combined 4 points every week thereafter!!
December 6 at 9:27 pm
The Viper says:
I now have Cuellar, Sessegnon & Fletcher. I can easily do Fletcher -> Berba afterwards, its not a big deal I don’t think, especially with the amount if injuries about..

Andrew says:
I did Bale>Sess for the DGW, easy enough to bring Bale back when fit and you can get the Sess points in the menatime.

Hi guys, thinking of getting ba in for Suarez but it appears that ba is a slight doubt….anyone care to she’d some light on the situation?
Cheers

He went off with 5 mins to go against Wigan but Pardew has said he’ll be ok he was a bit stiff

How am I looking for this weekend guys? Mostly unsure about my sub order. Cameron or Sterling as 1st sub?
G: Begovic
D: Cuellar – Shorey – Enrique – Davies
M: Ramirez (vc) – Silva – Mata – Sess (C)
F: RVP – Giroud
S: Gazzinga – Sterling – Cameron – Suarez
December 6 at 9:33 pm

Looks strong to me. Bench is right.

Dr. Ex: Proud Owner Of Jonny Evans (0.6% Club) says:
Any Fellaini (C)ers around? I’m having my doubts at the moment.
Tottenham have been quite decent defensively. 2 goals conceeded in their last 3 games, one of which was a Bale OG, and the other a tiny Lloris – Caulker mishap.
It’s between RvP and Fellaini for me. Thoughts?

Jassk / Ruddy
Davies / Shorey / Cameron / Rafa / McAuley

Yeah, that’s the one…this sounds like the sequel, isn’t she a bit of a junkie these days? Maybe herointrap would be a better title to the sequel

So who is the obvious captain out of: Cuellar Shorey Michu Santi Fellaini RvP?
December 6 at 9:30 pm

Captain Obvious is, was and will always be RVP.

Santiagounreal - proud owner of garrido says:
Really? where has this renewed interest come from? He’s been quiet for weeks
December 6 at 9:34 pm
ScoutCast not pearls before swine says:
Dunno. But he’s got net +21 transfers today according to Fiso.
December 6 at 9:40 pm
The Viper says:
According to Fiso he could drop tonight? Surely at 95% he has come to far to not drop?
December 6 at 9:46 pm
ScoutCast not pearls before swine says:
I don’t think he’ll drop tonight. He looked about the same last night.
December 6 at 9:36 pm

he’s not really moving at all. +21 for day

JKisthe1 - Los Colchoneros 2 - The Revenge says:
I have a massive dilemma over Bale going on. Don’t want Sess as I’d have to play him next week, not convinced by Clint, Arsenal on crap form puts me off Caz. Nolan looks good, but his fixtures mean i wouldn’t want to sell him to get Bale back. Unless i forget Bale and get DAD when I ship Long in GW20 (by which time we should know if he’s nailed on)
December 6 at 9:40 pm
The Parmtree says:
You won’t want DAD…
December 6 at 9:42 pm
JKisthe1 - Los Colchoneros 2 - The Revenge says:
might just get Dempsey and feck it.
If he scores I just hope for attacking returns from Baines, I would have played Bale
December 6 at 9:35 pm
Psychobingo says:
Sigh, now Walcott is definitely injured again. Fml! Is it worth considering bringing in some Reading midfielder for him or just play Sterling? Would be for a hit, and would give me basically money to get any replacement i want next GW.
December 6 at 9:39 pm
nedfoo says:
Play Sterling
December 6 at 9:35 pm
Manani says:
Haven’t posted a RMT for quite a while:
Begovic (Foster)
Shorey Enrique Cuellar (Hughes Demel)
McAnuff (C) Fellaini Walcott Silva Morrison
Giroud Berba (Suarez)
how does it look?
already took a hit, so not looking to do any more transfer
December 6 at 9:36 pm
The Viper says:
Looks good, not much to change. I think Demel may get some points with Suarez out though..
December 6 at 9:36 pm
The Viper says:
Sessegnon or Fletcher (If confirmed fit) for captain? Or perhaps ignore both & go Michu..
December 6 at 9:37 pm
red beard says:
sess! puncheon vice

I don’t think Michu will do anything against Norwich, they’ve had some great results recently.
