The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Four – Resumption

4,210 Comments

Back for 2013, fully refreshed, slightly rusty and balancing the same chips on our shoulders, Granville are I make a return to the podcast studio.

The New Year presents my beleaguered co-host with a 51-point gap to bridge as I spent Christmas “ho-ho-ing” about three midfield hat-tricks, leaving Granville to roll out one mighty miffed in this week’s episode.

Elsewhere, we pick at the double Gameweek buffet, eagerly scoffing on the Chelsea canapés whilst wondering if Rafa has hidden something nasty in the vol-a-vents. We rinse that down with the latest transfers in and out in “all aboard”, preview all the weekend fixtures and carry out the latest emergency surgery on the ailing ScoutCast team.

Normal service is resumed via this link or you can pour this straight into your ears via the player below…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I'm taking a punt on Harte; I'll feel like an utter God when he gets a clean sheet and scores a FK this weekend 😎 Mariappa's the safe option though.

        He has only ever played when Whitaker is out. That does not mean that he will now immediately give way--he has done well recently--but there is a doubt, and FPL says Whitaker back 12 Jan.

          Whittaker not likely to be fit this weekend, or so i read in Norwich press today. so Martin shoud be safe for that one. after that though it is a risk

          Turner might be more secure, and can score goals (if not as many this season as martin/bassong).

        You have an insane team value. The problem for me is that you're going to be playing Russian Roulette with who to bench every week. I would downgrade somewhere and upgrade the keepers and/or defense. Something like Jussi/Gibbs/Fellaini (or Berbs) out for Szcz/Baines/cheapie makes a lot of sense to me.

          Point is I can't go this week without Ba and/or Mata as everyone is going to captain them. So I have to take out Cazorla and/or Suarez.

          Already have Walcott and Gibbs, so can easily get another Arsenal cover next week without a hit.

                No, he already has Ba and Azpillicueta. Ramirez has less chance of being rotated than Mata. He asked me which of the 'midfield five' (Walcott, Michu, Fellaini, Bale, Mata) i would go without, it would probably be Mata. Fellaini is a must for me.

      Rooney could be on the bench this weekend apparently.

      Need to bench one of Clyne (avl, che), Cameron (CHE) and Hughes (WIG) - best option?

        If you already have Bego playing, Cameron. If not, then...Cameron 🙂

        Bench Cameron. Clyne will likely end on 4pts, Hughes has a shot at a cleanie, and Cameron likely to get 1-2pts.

      Need a bit of help from across the pond:

      ---------------Bego-------------Jussi-----------------
      -Clyne--Gibbs--Cuellar--O'Brien--Cameron-
      Cazorla--Michu--Felliani--Mata--Puncheon
      ----------Ba-----------RVP--------Suarez----------

      I have both WC's still with no more freebies this week and 0.2 in the bank.

      Should I bring in Hazard for Santi this week then switch him out to Walcott next week? It would cost -4 unless I WC'd...

      Thanks in advance!

        That's a ridiculously good team with both wcs in hand!

        I'd take the hit, see the lie of the land and then wc in dw24 to sort out any probs, leaving you with a beautiful wc to use for later dgws.

        Very jealous!
