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…

Just One More Thing says:
I really wanted Mata in my team this week but opted for Silva instead – I think there’ll be a few goals in that Chelsea/Villa game….would have to downgrade Enrique or Berbs to a much cheaper equivalent and take a 4 point hit to do it. Decisions, decisions…
December 20 at 7:44 am
Cruizer says:
there is concern that mata will be rested this week after playing a lot of games lately..played almost full match against leeds in the league cup
December 20 at 8:43 am
James says:
I dont think he will be rested – Villa may win if Rafa rests Mata. He was subbed at the end of the match with the weekend fixture in mind. He was instrumental in the Chelsea comeback. I think Chelsea will be on a high after scoring 5 goals.
Mata is my captain this week. He was ELECTRIC last night.
December 20 at 7:46 am
Dogba says:
That’s crazy to me. Silva is an excellent choice this weekend.

jinswick says:
Just to add to my earlier post. My cup opponent hasn’t touched his team since GW6 and I’d probably put him as favourite in our tie. The only player we have the same is Silva. Whatcha reckon?
ME: Jaask, Enrique, Cuellar, Clyne, Yaya, Walcott, Sess, RVP(c), Suarez, Ba
HIM: Cech, Ivanovic, Walker, Skrtel, McAuley, Bale, Duff, Tevez, Pog, Torres(c)

I want his team instead of mine!

I don’t think you should be so worried. I’d back you any day.
December 20 at 7:48 am
Kostja says:
I think you could be in trouble if Tevez starts Plus heis defense looks much better than yours.
December 20 at 7:49 am
jinswick says:
Yeah, I think a Chelsea clean sheet and Tevez doing well puts me in big trouble.
Ridiculous that nearly all his players have great fixtures this week (of all weeks!!).
December 20 at 7:52 am
Kostja says:
This seems like a template team all round, since dead teams seem to have alot of Che and City players. I got a guy ranked 1000 000 with Yaya, Clichy, Tevez(C) Mata and a Javier Hernandez, but also Fella, Barfa to make it look a bit better.
December 20 at 7:48 am
Snake Juice - Demba Ba, See You In January says:
You frontline will dominate. No worries.
December 20 at 7:51 am
jinswick says:
I think my front 3 edge it, but Torres(c) and Tevez is pretty daunting given their fixtures…. I need Villa and RVP to score.
December 20 at 7:49 am
Just One More Thing says:
Not a bad team considering it has been gathering dust. His midfield looks weaker than yours and that, together with the (c) will hopefully swing it for you.
However, If Tevez (plays) & Torres both click, you could be knackered.
December 20 at 8:44 am
Perfect Curve says:
If the Pog nets a hat-trick you will be knackered.
But then its marginally more like that the world will end tomorrow and it won’t matter anyway!
December 20 at 7:44 am
Bullet Tooth Tony says:
Jaas
Rafael – Shawcross – Cuellar
Sterling – Mata – Yaya – Silva
Defoe – RVP (C) – Ba (V)
(Bego – Lennon – Demel – Gorkss)
Good to go?

Schneiderlin 4,4. Look at his statistics vs Puncheon: If you take away Puncheon’s last brace, Schneiderlin hasn’t done much worse and should have potential to do the same now and then as Puncheon.

December 20 at 7:54 am
fantasyroller says:
Got a selection problem in midfield (Mata / Bale Sterling) with 4 good defenders resulting in Michu on the bench. Last time I did that he go 15 points. Anyone expect him to do well against Man U? I think not and leaving him on bence.. but just checking
December 20 at 7:56 am
Waitakere_MGTH says:
If you are an attacker, you are gonna do well against Utd
December 20 at 8:01 am
spectrum says:
Thought you would have learned your lesson after the Arsenal game, I did the same thing in conclusion never bench Michu.
December 20 at 8:02 am
fantasyroller says:
yeah, point taken. Hes on the pitch now. Cheers Guys.
December 20 at 7:55 am
Dogba says:
How worried should I be for next GW with Arsenal and West Ham blank? And thoughts on next weeks FT? 3.5M in bank. If I don’t have injuries or much rotation, I should be okay without transferring out any… thoughts? * are people I’m considering moving on, NEXT GW.
Jask Bego
Baines Enrique* Davies Demel* Cuellar
Cazorla* Michu Puncheon Kanu* Sterling*
Aguero RVP Suarez
December 20 at 7:56 am
Dogba says:
Bored at work, mentally on Christmas vacation, so that’s why I’m already thinking about next week. Did my FT (Fellaini -> Puncheon) this week yesterday.
December 20 at 8:05 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
I like your front 3 but youre very top heavy. However, that could bode well this week.
If i were you id be looking to downgrade Baines for someone like McAuley and use even more extra cash to upgrade Kanu to someone like Bale/Mata or Silva
December 20 at 8:11 am
Dogba says:
Yeah, it’s a non-traditional setup. If Aguero is rotated a lot during Christmas he won’t be worth it, he could go…
December 20 at 8:15 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
True, but could also be a good plan!
Last season at one point i hadRVP Aggy and Rooney. Served me well for a few weeks but i lost points in MF and overall as a result.
Im probably commenting off the back of that experience! But guven Baines price and his returns, id looj to downgrade him myself.
December 20 at 8:30 am
Dogba says:
We’ll see. I think Baines will do very well in the coming weeks, and everyone will have him in their WC for their nice fixtures. But I’m believer! His stats were good last GW
December 20 at 7:59 am
Dogba says:
I’m considering Cazorla -> Bale. Bale’s fixtures from next GW are pretty much as good as they can be (for him) with avl sun RDG qpr.
December 20 at 8:00 am
matthewhagon says:
+11
December 20 at 8:02 am
Dogba says:
But I would have to get Cazorla back for DGW! Could use WC to setup the team though. Hmm.
Then again, there’s a reason most people have been thinking about shipping Cazorla (until this GW). He has been playing deep this season, assisting the assister, etc. but if Theo continues to play and stretch the defence I think he can an excellent choice.
December 20 at 8:12 am
matthewhagon says:
If walcott gets a run in the team then he is deffo in contention because he is so destructive!!
December 20 at 8:12 am
Dogba says:
He could be a good option, but with his glass legs is he gonna play 3 games in one week (thinking about the DGW)? Because Cazorla will, definitely.
December 20 at 8:04 am
The Punter says:
Good Luck.
December 20 at 8:05 am
ATHLETICO TIMBO. Top 10,000 any season 2nd Wildcard league 16771-553963 says:
That’s what I’d do
December 20 at 8:08 am
Dogba says:
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll probably keep him considering DGW is closing up fast and I’d prefer a late WC.
December 20 at 8:02 am
NO ASSOCIATION Bergkamp is Legend says:
i think your team will be fine despite the blank in GW19.. might consider replacing enrique with someone else to ensure you can play 4-3-3.. dont think Kanu should start.
December 20 at 8:07 am
Dogba says:
Yeah, it’s only Demel and Cazorla really. I got a big strikeforce, should be fine one week without a heavy-hitter playing in the mid. Enrique could go if he still isn’t fit, Kanu is a bit scary to have considering Christmas rotation, looking to do Kanu -> Nolan after the blank.
December 20 at 8:06 am
chocolove says:
you have too many cheapo mid imo
considering to upgrade sterling?
his time is up i think. and suarez alone is enough for liv coverage
December 20 at 8:08 am
Dogba says:
Yeah, depends on if Sterling is rested or not. If he’s rested, I won’t get him out, if not it’s definitely something to consider. But not too many good options, considering I need to save enough to do Kanu -> Nolan.
December 20 at 8:15 am
chocolove says:
i rate kanu over sterling, more on goal attempts
kanu 567minutes 3goals 2assists= 21pts
sterling 1400minutes 1goals 5assists= 20pts
lets see if he could retain the starting spot at reading
After the performance and assist last monday, i think he should
December 20 at 8:24 am
Dogba says:
He’s got really good stats, that’s why I got him in. But then Kebe got back, bleh. Hopefully he’ll nail down the start, at the very least he’ll get some starts over Christmas with rotation, they could coincide with the fixtures I want him to play. But it’s a risk, of course.
December 20 at 7:58 am
itsjustme says:
Any help with this lot:
Bego Foster
Enrique Rafa Cuellar Rangel Stevens
Fellani Pienaar Sess Sterling Michu
RVP Suarez Berbs
2.2 in the bank and 2 FT
A. Fell to Silva
B. Fell to Bale
C. Fell to Mata
D. B or C plus Suarez to Tevez
E. Fell to Puncheon and Berbs to Rooney
Any others?
December 20 at 8:06 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
A for me.
Keep Suarez imo but perhaps look at other options for Sess.
December 20 at 7:59 am
Tibbs says:
3 questions lads,any help much appreciated:
1.bench one–Berb/ Pienar/ Sterling?
2. Anyone know if Enrique is fit this GW?
3. People’s thoughts on Matas game time this week,personally think he will be rested?

No, thanks. Nastasic or Zabaleta for me.
December 20 at 8:11 am
Waitakere_MGTH says:
i was thinking that earlier. Should have done Enrique to him, not GJ
December 20 at 8:04 am
Grounderz says:
(1) Bench Pienaar, in my opinion. I expect Sterling to contribute something.
(2) He should be fit. Wait for pressies tomorrow.
(3) I think he will play, regardless.
December 20 at 8:05 am
Grounderz says:
Reply fail. Meant to post it as a reply to Tibbs.
December 20 at 8:06 am
Tibbs says:
Reply fail I assume,thanks. I was going to (c) mata this week but as he played 85 min last night back to Suarez,the player who continues to frustrate me!
December 20 at 8:10 am
Grounderz says:
The fact that Benitez substituted him off at the 85th minute shows Mata has a part to play this weekend. Although that is not guaranteed but more of the likelihood of things. I reckon that if Benitez decides that Mata is to be rested, he should have gone on and played him full 90 minutes instead.
December 20 at 8:46 am
James says:
Agree.
I cant honestly see how Chelsea can beat Villa without Mata. The substitution in the 85th means he will start, surely?
I am captaining him!
December 20 at 8:11 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Id actually bench Sterling this week if you have Suarez playing.
Enrique is a waiting game
Im not convinced Mata will start the game
December 20 at 8:05 am
unitednations says:
A: hughes bale tevez…..+ 8 points. 1 hit to bring in tevez this week and another hit to bring in bale next.
B: rafael silva berbs + 4 points to bring in silva this week
Pros/Cons:
- Tevez has way more potential to explode then silva and they cost the same
- Berbs hasnt done anything but his fixtures are good
- silva assured gametime over tevez
Thoughts?
December 20 at 8:20 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Silva over Tevez for me purely because of.gametime
December 20 at 8:09 am
temo says:
Play Jussi or Begovic?
December 20 at 8:13 am
Grounderz says:
Would go with Jussi. A draw from WHM vs EVE is more likely than TOT vs STO, at least for me. On second thoughts, TOT vs STO looks a game more likely to draw. Still Jussi.
December 20 at 8:55 am
Nick says:
Jussi
December 20 at 8:10 am
Smack-It Ralph says:
What is the team sheet of soton when lallana not playing? Ramirez playing a little deeper or more forward….
December 20 at 8:25 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Shouldnt make any difference for ramirez
December 20 at 8:28 am
Dogba says:
They just need a replacement on the left, no? Ramirez in the middle, Punch on the right. Shouldn’t affect Ramirez too much, but Lallanas workrate could be missed.
December 20 at 8:13 am
J.Mata says:
Silva or Bale in for Sess? I already have Mata and Santi.

December 20 at 8:22 am
Valar Morghulis(Formerly Keith) says:
actually.. if pap le cissier is right and nasri is out for 4 weeks i’d controversially say yaya.. will play further ahead with Garcia and barry behind him(like the past weekend when nasri got injured) and will play each and every minute of the next 4 games

Havent you heard? Hes out for a while as well after banging his head against a brick wall over Mario!

source? for nasri i mean
December 20 at 8:30 am
Pap Le Cissier says:
Haha! Damn, i thought i might have got you there!
SSN and Daily Mail. Just had a look at the rag and it is actually four games, not four weeks!
December 20 at 8:31 am
Valar Morghulis(Formerly Keith) says:
out for 4 games is like a sign from the fpl god to sign yaya
December 20 at 8:26 am
Valar Morghulis(Formerly Keith) says:
just read 2 weeks on total fpl(daily mail).. that’s 3-4 Gameweeks though so just long enough
December 20 at 8:18 am
RamaJama says:
Well, if you have the funding to bale or Silva, Yaya shouldn’t be an option for long term: he scores a couple of goals each season, but is most of the time he’s more like Joe Allen for Liverpool and Britton for Swansea: Good, har working players, but not in a position to score much fantasy points regulary.
Silva and Bale, on the other hand, we know their potential…
have both, but Bale has been most consistent this year and has a fantastic role in his team and explosivity. He’s involved in every game and always play.

Yeah I would, also maybe some Baines as well.

Ok, i need to dump Rafael or Enrique first ?
Or i just need to leave as it is.
That will be -4 hit, and tell me the best replacement: If i dump Enrique, i can have player for 5 mil, if i dump Rafael i can have player for 5.2
Thanks in advance

No way I’d take a hit on Rafael or Enrique unless I knew 100% they were gonna miss out.

yaya

bdwhite91 says:
You reckon Yaya is for certain playing higher up? No chance of Sinclair?
December 20 at 8:42 am
Valar Morghulis(Formerly Keith) says:
Sinclair may get a few minutes, and so may someone else.. but yaya should spend majority of his playin time further up now.. or atleast more times than he’s playin now. 32 points in the 7 games nasri has’nt played(1 goal, 1 assist and 7 bps)
December 20 at 8:43 am
bdwhite91 says:
Makes sense. I’m kind of disappointed in myself I didn’t get him before the derby. I said all week that he’d score against them. He loves to. He also scored that crucial goal against Newcastle last season.
December 20 at 8:46 am
Valar Morghulis(Formerly Keith) says:
never too late.. made my first early transfer of the season and got him in on sunday.. the main thing is to go in with moderate expectations

My team for this GW :
Bego
Nastasic/Ivanovic/Baines
Snodgrass/Mata/Sterling/Michu
RVP/Ba/Tevez
Bench : Davies, Shorey, Fellaini
Allready did two transfers (Long & Defoe -> Ba & Tevez), so I need advice ( considering that Nasri is out for 4 weeks) – is Fellaini to Yaya worth another -4 hit ?

does it make sense to get yaya or silva for afro if it means probably taking a hit next week or should I just bring in bale (who I would want for sure after this gw anyways)
December 20 at 8:37 am

if you dont get bale this week it’s just a 2 week wait b4 the jan wc.. considerin his 4th yellow might as well get bale in then.. get city in now and remove them WC time
