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…

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Ideas on my team.
Jaaskelainen • Begovic
Shorey • Ridgewell • Cuellar • Nelsen • Hughes
Sessegnon • Puncheon • Mata • Morrison • Michu
Suarez • Van Persie • Berbatov
1 FT, £4.0m in the bank.
Want some Man City attack.
Which option & who?
a) Berbatov → Aguero, Tevez or Dzeko
b) Suarez → Aguero, Tevez or Dzeko
c) both a) & b) for a hit.
d) Morrison → Silva / Yaya
e) Suarez + Morrison → Tevez & Silva for a hit
f) something else

Can’t see it happening….he’s their best…and Chelsea lack the depth of City and United…No chance imo
December 20 at 9:10 am
Fancy Feet says:
Its funny when people just make stuff up and force themselves to believe it. Chelsea lacks depth? They started with Eden Hazard on the bench today. He came on and score, showing he is more than capable of covering Mata for a rest. Marin is now being used as well and Oscar is still in the picture. I have Mata but the reality is the will most likely be rested this weekend with two close and tougher games after thant are 3 days apart.
December 20 at 9:17 am

One striker
Mata, Hazard, Moses, Oscar seemingly out of favour…Not much else.
They don’t have enough depth to leave Mata out, that’s how I see it…

Villa just beat Liverpool 3-1. And Rafa cant afford to lose another league match at Stamford Bridge. Mata is by far their best player, and I cant see them winning without him.

do yaya just as good as silva now that nasri is out?
December 20 at 9:03 am
Ryan says:
Its quite possible Dzeko could come in for Nasri with Aguero shifted to the wing. Likewise Kolarov could start in Nasri’s place. Yaya’s position will remain as is.
December 20 at 9:05 am
tw - registration for season 2 of the leagues is now closed! results should be announced by the 26th says:
why wouldn’t yaya just be moved forward?
well nasri out assures that at least one of the dzeko, yaya, kolorov trio will tear it up this weekend!
December 20 at 9:06 am
Ryan says:
He wouldn’t be moved forward because he hasn’t been moved forward much at all this season. When Nasri or Silva were injured in the past it was common to see the likes of Milner or Kolarov fill in.

he’ll stay put…City will tub Reading no problem but it’s worth remembering that Reading stuck three apast United and two past Arsenal on their way to losing to them…Yaya will do as he’s done all season 70 mins at the back of midfield and twenty further forward…and up for set pieces..

December 20 at 9:12 am
James says:
Ah yes, because Rooney and RVP are in such bad form! And because United are struggling for goals!!
United have 30%+ more goals this season than the next highest team. Between Rafael, RVP and Rooney you have about 90% of United’s attacking points, which is huge. Im a big fan of this, especially with free kicks and corners being shared, and Rooney on PKs.

December 20 at 9:06 am

Nice….quality!
I’d stick with Robin reliable as (c) though….he scored away at Chelsea and City so Swans won’t hold him…Tevez at risk of a 1 point 20min cameo
December 20 at 9:07 am
Corkyote says:
Call me mad but having had a few days to reflect on santi’s recent haul, he has a blank next week and silva has a better fixture this weekend so out he goes.
Might bring him back for Newcastle but may want Walcott by then…
December 20 at 9:10 am
Ryan says:
One thing that bothers me about Walcott is that Arsenal will buy a new striker in January, limiting his chances of a role up front.
December 20 at 9:12 am
Corkyote says:
Yeah totally agree. It would be nice if they could so before the double gameweek though and if it is Demba Ba then I am all over it.
December 20 at 9:40 am
Ryan says:
Good thing I already have him then
December 20 at 9:14 am
heco87 says:
I agree but then I don’t think it’s worth a transfer out then potentially a transfer back in… especially as I presume you’ll lose some £ doing it.
December 20 at 9:15 am
Corkyote says:
Well I have Gerrard and Caz at the moment but would prefer Silva and Bale I think so might not get caz or walcott back until new year, maybe not at all….
December 20 at 9:17 am
heco87 says:
Well, I assume you’ll want at least one of them for the DGW but yeah, that’s probably about 6 weeks away.
Cazorla / Silva / Mata over here so hard for me to say what I’d do in that position.
December 20 at 9:20 am
Corkyote says:
Think I’ll be wildcarding by then. You’re spot on with the top midfielders, I definitely want Bale and then it’ll be tough to decide between the three spanish wizards…
December 20 at 9:21 am
heco87 says:
Yeah, we’ll see what happens – a lot of good options in midfield anyway.
December 20 at 9:16 am
stilicho says:
In a funny way I think Santi’s blank almost works in his favour – at least we KNOW when he’s not going to play, with almost all his potential replacements we’re guessing, makes it easier to plan your cover.
December 20 at 9:21 am
Corkyote says:
Even better that we can catch some price rises before getting rid
*I’m so going to regret this aren’t I
December 20 at 9:22 am

Ha maybe … when we play them at the Emirates, Arsenal will have had a week off in which time we’ll have been at Old Trafford … Santi could run riot.

Jonah says:
I feel very out of touch here this week. Everyone seems to taking points hits; I;m desperate to hold on to my two free transfers for next week, so think I shouldn’t even spend a freebie!
I want a City player, but don’t even want to spend my free transfer on it this week. I wonder whether people are forgetting that, with popular players having a blank and inevitable heavy rotation, it will be challenging to get 11 men out for the boxing day fixture.
I guess the main thing that allows me to plan ahead so carefully is not having to worry about Fellaini, having never had him.

in the last three games Reading have played the player in the “hole” has scored big points – Santi, Sess/McClean and Rooney.

which one is a better move?
A) slowly loading your team with ARS & WHU players and get many of them (e.g O’Brien,Gibbs, Nolan, Santi/Walcott) playing in the DGW, and then get rid of them with Jan WC; or
B) rope all of them in GW23 using the Jan WC, and take them out later accordingly as you’re not confident with their fixtures afterwards?

Well, Arseanl have sot, then 4 home games in a row, as well as a double (away to chelsea), so I imagine stocking up on Arsenal players during January is a good idea.

John Terry's Dog - JT is not the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy says:
chances are you may have 2-4 players anyway from these teams, so probably only going to add another 2-3 if you want full house. i would think using WC to adjust after is better. But don’t get lost focusing all your effort onto those games, you can end up missing good scoring opps from others just trying to get arsenal/whu players into team

Oh no, I’d love to see this over two legs, because either team is capable of overturning a deficit…

This is my preferred option. But with my luck this season it’ll all go wrong
December 20 at 9:31 am
Nick says:
Probably
December 20 at 9:25 am
Nick says:
*Really interesting question alert*
Who should I have as 2nd sub: Cameron (tot) or Nelson (new)?
December 20 at 9:26 am
Pasqualinho says:
Not enough info. Will the one that we don’t choose be 1st sub?
December 20 at 9:28 am
Nick says:
Puncheon, Nelson, Cameron is my current bench.
December 20 at 9:29 am
Pasqualinho says:
Go for it. Minimal chance of a cleanie, slightly more chance of attacking points for Nelsen over Cameron.
December 20 at 9:30 am
Nick says:
Nice one, thanks.

People this is the best advice i can give you.
go and buy or loan from library a book called the Chimp Paradox by Steve peters
this is guy who worked with olympic cycling team and has started working with Liverpool.
can really help with all aspects of life, including important parts like fantasy football.

How hilarious will it be if Cazorla outscores Silva this week
I can see it happening too…
December 20 at 9:29 am
Corkyote says:
I fancy Silva to outscore Santi over the next two gameweeks though
December 20 at 9:33 am
Ragin Cajun says:
Good one!
December 20 at 9:34 am
James says:
Well, surely its about whether Cazorla this week, plus whoever replaces him next week (from my bench) can outscore Silva? Not quite fair to compare 1 game vs 2, when Ill certainly have 11 players in GW19 anyway…
December 20 at 9:36 am
Corkyote says:
How come you haven’t done any transfers is such a long time? Are you playing particular rules for a league you’re in?
December 20 at 9:38 am
heco87 says:
I reckon that reeks of not changing team ID in link from last season … *speculation*
December 20 at 9:38 am
Corkyote says:
Ahh, that would make sense.
December 20 at 9:47 am
James says:
Spot on! Ill get on that. Thanks.

Connor's Calling says:
Need to raise 0.2m for Silva.
Do i:
A) Cuellar -> B.Davies
B) Cuellar -> Demel
C) Cuellar -> Shorey
D) Enrique -> Nastasic (Still not convinced he’s 100% guaranteed)
E) Enrique -> Gibbs (not ideal as already have Caz missing next week)
F) Enrique -> McAuley
Would prob prefer to keep Enrique…but still slight injury doubt + worried about Paternity leave over Crimbo.

tw - registration for season 2 of the leagues is now closed! results should be announced by the 26th says:
shorey= big no
gibbs and demel both have blanks next week
so Enrique to nasty perhaps
December 20 at 9:30 am
heco87 says:
Shorey big no why?
Yeah, Reading have leaked goals recently but they have 2 nice fixtures between Christmas and New Year and will surely tighten up – he’s also on set pieces.
December 20 at 9:29 am
heco87 says:
I think it depends a bit on when you want this defender to play.
I was in a similar boat with affording Mata and downgraded to Clyne as I need a defender this week. I would keep Enrique, so would be inclined to say A-C, depending on when you need them.
December 20 at 9:29 am
Nick says:
Suarez -> Tevez/Dzeko for a -4pt hit is madness, right?
December 20 at 9:32 am
tw - registration for season 2 of the leagues is now closed! results should be announced by the 26th says:
well considering that suarez is one of the main captain options this gw alongside rooney, rvp and a city player: yes I think so
December 20 at 9:36 am
Nick says:
But he’s on poor form and City could run riot against Reading..
December 20 at 9:33 am
Ragin Cajun says:
After the Fulham game or sell some1 else for this week.
December 20 at 9:33 am
Pasqualinho says:
It could work, but odds against, I’d say.
December 20 at 9:36 am
Jonah says:
Yes, it’s ridculous knee-jerking.
Suarez at home to Fulham would be crazy to transfers out for free, let alone paying hits to do it.
December 20 at 9:52 am
James says:
I transfered out Suarez when he had Villa at home (last week), for a hit, for Rooney, and that worked out well.
Suarez is in bad form. Not sure why he is a legitimate captain option this week! Especially if Sterling is rested. Suarez cant do it all alone in the Liverpool team.

No obvious city move for you so see why you’re asking. Guess you’ve done fell to yaya already?

alreet i’m off to bed lads. hopefully the draw is good!
and don’t forget, if kolorov has a stormer this week, I told you so!
night
December 20 at 9:36 am
unitednations says:
Was all set to do fellaini >> silva (for a hit) but now with nasri injured…will yaya move to a cam?
If so, i will rather to fellaini >> yaya this week and do rafael + sess >> hughes + bale (for a hit) next week
Thoughts?
December 20 at 9:37 am
I know... From now on, I will never get a big fat green arrow again. I am finished... says:
Anyone think Tevez will be benched? The reason is
I Just BOUGHT him in for A HIT.
I bought Giroud last week and he was benched.(hint)

Smack-It Ralph says:
After arsenal blank game: Berba –> Podolski ?
December 20 at 9:37 am
heco87 says:
Nah, not for me. He may not have form but those 2 fixtures for Berbatov are irresistible between Christmas and New Year. I’m tempted to get him.
December 20 at 9:38 am
Andrew says:
Come on Tremmel need you to play this week otherwise I have no GK and no FT.
