The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Three – Wrapped Up
Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: Mark
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…

Fixture wise Villa seems the most obvious game for Chelsea to rest Mata. Leaning towards Bale!

Declan says:
Stoke will bully Bale imo, 5th yellow incoming………
December 19 at 9:26 pm
RamaJama says:
Go for Bale, we’ll know one week before when he’s not going to play. With Mata you’ll never know before you see the lineup. And there is a certain risk that mata will be rotated more than once the next months.

Declan says:
Getting any Citeh coverage, Epic?
December 19 at 9:27 pm
Jimmers says:
Yes – Chelsea can’t afford any more slip-ups in the league and Mata is their best player
December 19 at 9:19 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
I have no City cover. So, is Defoe > Aguero (and cpt.) worth a 4 pt hit?
Yes or no?
December 19 at 9:19 pm
The Gamesmaster ™ says:
Get tevez
December 19 at 9:20 pm

Ashley Cole is a cracking defender. Just on the pitch and switched on from the off.
December 19 at 9:25 pm
Declan says:
So consistent. rarely gets the praise he deserves imo.
December 19 at 9:28 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "Corner the market, then raise the price. Simple economics" (Heisenberg, 2009) says:
Exactly. Almost too consistent that noone appreciates him because there aren’t many peaks and troughs in his performances.

Glad I got Mata in, just hope he plays on the weekend

Sess to Yaya for a 4 point hit?

No chance

Nope.

Count Of Monte Hristo - "Corner the market, then raise the price. Simple economics" (Heisenberg, 2009) says:
Bad idea. The City v Reading game won’t automatically bring points hauls for all the City forward players. Cazorla played well and also lucked out in terms of how bad Reading are at defending but there might only be one or 2 City players who benefit on Saturday and there is no telling who that might be so I wouldn’t take hits to get them.
December 19 at 9:26 pm
Swimming Reindeer says:
Cheers lads thanks for helping me get rid of the daft idea, only have Aguero city coverage but hey..
December 19 at 9:23 pm
Alex5 - OOOO Santi Cazorla! says:
Yay scoutcast a day early
December 19 at 9:23 pm

fusen says:
I’ve already done it so I’m just looking for how much people think I’ve done a stupid thing.
I did walcott -> yaya
suarez -> aguero
for an 8 point hit after getting rid of falaini for mata with my free transfer,
It now means my attacking half is
Michu Yaya Mata Silver
Ba Defoe Aguero
I’m a sunderland fan and even though we’ve been pretty shocking lately, we took reading for 3 goals. Arsenal did them for 5. I seriously cannot imagine what an on form man city team are going to do to them. It all basically relies on Tevez not turning up and City being on their A game…if that comes off I could seriously score big.
