The ScoutCast – Episode 109 – Two Men

Have cooked up the following... how will it taste?

Mignolet - (Davis)
Mertesacker - Zabaleta - Coleman - (McNaughton) - (Ward)
Walcott - Hazard (c) - Coutinho - Barkley - (Jedinak)
RVP - Lukaku - Altidore

So.. Silva or Dzeko / Negredo for the next 4 GWs?

And whos best for GW 1 only?

Soldado - due a debut goal? 😉
Sturridge - main goal threat
Dzeko - on form and easy fixture

Will have all three by GW 2 (unless i go with silva).

Zabaleta or coleman ...question is now ? :/

Cole or Ivanovic for the double gameweek guys?

For the first 3 weeks only

A) Zabaleta + Burner

B) Lescott and Murner

I would go A all day long if i was convinced Zabaleta would start in week 3, but i have my doubts. What do you reckon?..

Anyone read the Metro today?

Back in Britain, Mark Sutherns – director of Fantasy Football Scout –said: ‘I think the appeal of fantasy football lies in the fact that it’s seen as a way of quantifying football knowledge.

‘Somehow, if my team beats my mate’s, I know more about football.’

He described it as a game of brinkmanship. ‘You need some luck to win at fantasy football but you also need the nerve to make tough decisions at the right time and know when to play safe and when to go with your gut,’ he said.

my defense is a bit heavy.. help me trim it. pretty much decided as far as my attackin 8 concerned
Mignolet (Harper)
Koscielny Toure Coleman M.Turner Clyne

Canaries fans:

First choice Norwich back 4?

My team:

Hart
Zaba Toure Cole
Mirallas Coutinho Hazard Nolan Walcott
Benteke,Lukaku.

Subs:Gazzaniga,Ward,Chester,Smith.

Based on a couple of RMT's, the general concensus of the people around here is that
A)Doubling up on the city defence,but i think it is worth it with the opening four fixtures (newcastle,hull,cardiff and stoke)
B)A poor bench (The subs play but are not likely to get me points,but is that an issue when the first 11 is there to get them for me!)
C)Too much invested in defence,linked with A but looks good to me

Other than the .5m is there a reason people are opting for Walcott over Cazorla?

Hey Doos, how come you aint feeling the migs/toure love? and adrian.. worth a punt? Boruc got good fixtures for the first 10 to hold his own incase adrian flops

I think Mata will play 120 minutes this GW.

Would anyone disagree too strongly with that?

Tee hee. Mario Götze's Twitter account has been hacked.

Among other things he's announced that he's just signed for Eintracht Braunschweig and describes himself as a "full-time traitor. Chamakh is king." "Chamakh > Messi + Ronaldo". "Chamakh 4 Ballon d'Or."

Coleman or Toure?

Think I'm gonna stick to catching up on the hot topics until after the deadline has passed.

Too easy to be distracted by speculation and intrigue on here so close to GW1, and begin to make unnecessary changes.

Laterz.

Yeah pretty much done. any comments on this team?

Boruc (Davis)
Ivanovic Zabaleta Toure (Brayford Chester)
Hazard(C) Mirallas Nolan Walcott (Colback)
Soldado Lukaku(VC) Sturridge

AVB on Bale (from the Telegraph):
"He is very far off regarding his fitness compared to the others but the player is a super-athlete. For (Crystal) Palace, for (Dinamo) Tblisi (in the Europa League), for Swansea, he will not be in line to threaten to come back."

Guess the earliest he could be back... if at all, would be the NLD.

Good morning all.
Long time player first time poster.
I have two options please let me know what you think.

1. Lampard/Ramirez/Cleverley/Sturridge
2. Mata/Ramirez/Cleverley/Aspas
3. Mata/Cheap/Cheap/Sturridge

Help appreciated

Uncertain starter Dzeko or guaranteed game time Altidore? Fancy Sunderland to smash Fulham first out but I'm not sure if this is just blind optimism.

if you could pick one who would it be.

coutinho or sturridge?

a) Lambert

OR

b) Soldado

OR

c) Negredo

OR

d) Sturridge

Is there really any point having a crystal palace defender?

Whittingham or Kim?

After Kompany, isn't Clichy the most nailed city defender?

Any opinions on my team? I still dont know who to captain. Im tempted to go A Cole due to the clean sheet points.

Mignolet / Davis

Dawson, Koscielny, A Cole / Ward, Chester

Mirallas, Silva, Coutinho, Hazard [C] / Colback

Lukaku, Soldado, Giroud

I watched Giroud over the summer and he looked pretty solid and im willing to give him a go. Hazard and 1 more CHE player will leave by GW3 and will get Walcott and/or another player that emerges.

What's the best midfielder for 4.5?

Coutinho/Giroud OR Silva/Sturridge
