The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety One – Honeytrap

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.

I sold Bale and I still have 4 players out injured this week!?

4pt hit is definitely going to happen, looks like my team is crawling to the Jan Wildcard.

Does anyone know if Vlaar is fit again to play for Villa ?

      Same I got him when he was 9.3, but I think he will fall back to 9.6, making selling him worthwile.
      
      Or if Sess gains 0.1 more I can bank that profit when I sell him back again for Bale.

Finally I managed. I listened the whole scoutcast in Thursday evening without falling a sleep. I congratulate myself. Great listening, little bit worried not owning Sess who looks lie the best captain and both Mark and Granville are gonna captain him. Just hope for the best and look beyond this GW when I will have extra transfer not meaning dealing with certain Benin international 😉

Anyone worried not owning him? What is your plan regarding double GW.

      Given your blank next week buying one of your mids seems as pointless as buying Sess. i was gonna get Theo but he is injured, I'm not sure on Caz, Clint is an easy switch back to Bale. My hope is Clint comes good and rises while Bale falls

Blast Walcott out too. Play this 4-3-3 or take a -4 for Bale--->Sess?

Begovic
Nastasic Shorey Cameron Davies
Michu(C) Fellaini McAnuff
Berba RVP Tevez

If I buy Sess then will likely to play him instead of Nastasic and at Utd next GW if Bale isnt back. My SP for Bale is 9.6 and I have 0.6 ITB so easy to buy back

Hungry man who will be in the points this G/W is J Gomez.
So cruelly subbed early because of a crazy red card dished out to team.
Wigan fought bravely with 10 men and looked dangerous on numerous occasions.

They have QPR at home and I think (forget Rednappies) will skin 'em. Invest in Wigan this G/W.

  I think Rafa could get a rest, but not bc how bad he was but by how incapable the CBs are defending set pieces.
  
  I think Dzeko or Balo will start instead of Tevez since it would be pretty dumb going with 2 midget vs a defense struggling to defend big men.
  
  Score 2-1 either side. Won by a header from either Kompany or Smalling 😀
