The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Three – Wrapped Up

Possibly the most un-Christmas-like Christmas Podcast we’ve ever recorded, thanks mainly to Granville being banned from editing in the entire MP3 of Dean Martin’s “Let it Snow” but also because neither of us had time to sort our pressies. To be fair, I’m surprised that Granville felt an ounce Christmas spirit after Santi’s showing at Reading opened up a 40-point “chasm” in our min-league. Do I have it all wrapped up already?

To his credit, my co-host takes it all on his bearded chin, joining me to discuss the Felliani fallout, its impact on the transfer trends in “all aboard”, a preview of the weekend fixtures and provided his assistance in the management of the ScoutCast team: an outfit which plundered no less than 80 points thanks to Santi’s haul and Reading’s bulging net.

Unitie the bow and rip this one open via this link, or stream the merriment via the player below…

When Terry is back , Azpilicueta will be dropped, Ivanovic back to RB and the regular back 4 will be Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry and Cole?

I had to stop the scoutcast when they talked about a "demoralized" Reading team.
That is wrong and a perfect example of gut opinion over substance.
I fully expect a more determined effort from Reading this G/W not a team full of demoralization.
I think they may offer a little more fight than a demoralized team.

  I'm sure they will.
  
  They will also get spanked like the Championship they are.

        I'm not predicting a score, I'm saying that using the word demoralized is ridiculous.

Guys i scored 81 last gw with the below :

Jaaskelainen

Jones Reid Skrtel

Silva Santi Snodgrass Michu

RVP(c) Tevez Berbatov

I have 1.6 in the bank and was going to bring Ba in for Berbatov then reverse it the following GW. Do you think I should do this or stick and keep my 1.6 and then have 2 frees to deal with the postponed West H v Arsenal game?

Thanks

Have already done Fellaini > Silva leaving me with 1 FT, 0.4m in the bank

Next week I will have McCartney, Noble and Carzola with a blank. Rafael is a rotation risk and who knows who else will be benched.

Should I...
a) McCartney > Davies/Nelsen/4.4 def
b) Nolan > Puncheon
c) save transfer and decide next week

Bunn
Clyne – McCartney – Rafael
Silva – Michu – Carzola – Sessegnon
Suarez – Berbatov – RVP

Federici – Noble – Cuellar– Cameron

Lost on last post 🙁

Until my wildcard I want a solid keeper and 2 defenders from Spurs, Pool, City (and maybe Cech)

I already have Johnson and Nastasic and Rafaael (who I can sell for 6.1m) so any ideas? Thinking ….

Lloris – Johnson / Nast / smalling

Reina – Walker / Nast /

Cech – Walker / Nast / Johnson

Hart – Walker / Nast / Johnson

All suggestions welcome

So, next week for the ARS:WHU blank... Reckon I can just about afford to bench my 3 players and save them for the nice run and DGW that follow. Best transfer to make next week?

A) Ba -> Berba. Polar opposite fixtures.
B) Sess -> someone? Nobody really appeals in that price range though.
C) Something else

Federici (SWA)
Enrique (sto), Hughes (SOT), Cuellar (MCY)
Silva (sun), Yaya (sun), Taarabt (WBA), Sess (MCY)
RVP (NEW), Ba (mun), Suarez (sto)

Jaask (Blank), Clyne (ful), Walcott (Blank), McCartney (Blank)
