The ScoutCast – Episode 111 – Bung

No way... u can field 11 quite comfortably, and a good 11 too... save it

No way. That's a good team.

Thanks for reassuring me... Damn price drops in Mannone, Morrison and Brayford(probably) is whats bothering me

No, great looking team

Fix up Mannone when you can

no way quality side dont even think about it

Hey buddy, been waiting to see you. How's it going?

So....

Already did Kolo > Coleman for my FT.

Mig
Coleman Chezzy Ward Murner
Silva Walc Snoddy Kim
Soldado Studge

Bank 0.8

Subs - Davis Lamps Benteke Ivan

You reckon I should take a hit?

Ce sont la!

You can have a super strike force and good defense with RVP and have a decent midfield thats the best you can do atm because the mids arnt firing and its hard to see who will emerge right now in the budget bracket 6-8.5m.

you could have something like this:

Migs/Boruc

collins..chester..coleman...fonte..Mbiwa

nolan...silva...walcott...HBA..barkley - possibly paulinho for HBA

RvP lambert Giroud - can have soldado/sturridge/benteke all within budget.

Only thing wrong is you cant get a big hitter in defense or more than 2 in midfield but the way the points are going you dont need a big hitting defender when you can get the extra bonus points from those clean sheets from a cheap centre back. None of the mids are firing atm but I feel walcott might do something this weekend and we might all have to find good budget mids that are regular rather than opt for rotated options from Che.

if Mirallas price drops first, I'll probably go Coutinho -> Mirallas

Yeah I think Mirallas will come good but he has Chelsea, West ham away and City in 3 of his next 4 after this week and is not making a compelling argument for himself.. If you don't have Sturridge then Coutinho is still good I reckon

They trend of Mirallas getting subbed when Everton are chasing the game is very concerning.

I think Coutinho will be first to drop if he doesnt produce given the huge % ownership.

Mirallas owner here. Not necessarily. If Baines goes to United, he'll be on majority of set-pieces.

Got to think that Ferdinand will be rotated once the CL heats up.

Don't take a hit over a keeper? Boruc is fine for now anyway

A. for me, nailed on and good attacking potential
Southampton have decent fixtures so Boruc should be good enough for now.

A

A - sure
B - meh... wait on Kolo news; Kolo not dropping this week; and wait to find out if Chiriches is going to challenge for Dawson's job
C - no hit needed, Foster not dropping this week - don't like the Myhill choice

Chees lads. A it is then, although I'll probably end up bringing a Chelsea defender back in at some stage

Be good to see him go somewhere... he'll get SFA minutes at the moment!

If you ain't 1st, you're last.

C

C to stay on top

I'd go with C mate think the extra transfer will be nice to have after the Int break in case a injury or two crop up and in general anyway

I'm going with C, although I have Burner, not Chester.

Thanks for the advice

3 months

I'd be a bit worried about Morrisons game time, could be a 15 minute sub

Otherwise looking good and some good differentials in there!

Yep, good to go. No need to take a hit as you can play 11 and Ward is a decent starter this week.

Your next FT should be addressed towards Wanyama (boring pick) or Cout (if he blanks again).

1) Will happen
2) 50/50
3) 50/50
4) Will happen
5) Depends on your luck - 60/40 most likely
6) 80/20

Get ready to hit it.

Cue 3 of those and a read card 😉

If the first 3 happen I still think you'd wildcard.

Will Van Persie scoring/not scoring against Liverpool really matter? We've got enough data on RVP: He's an absolute stud, and could get a hattrick against Palace, he's also insanely expensive and has to convincingly outscore Benteke/Soldado/Sturridge to be worth it. I feel like we have a big enough sample size to know this without seeing him play Liverpool.

No

Good to go. Pretty good team. Would be looking at getting Dzeko out if you don't want to deal with the headache of having a City striker though

Dzeko > Benteke later on, but then i'll have no City attacking player. Thanks for the help!

your team looks good, WC team?

Manchester United are better than Stoke and Villa.

Tends to score against the big boys. Only reason Chelsea was a blank was due to JM getting his tactics uber spot on. And Utd didn't have the class in other areas to cause an issue. I wouldn't be surprised if he scored, tbh

Liverpool due to concede, defence looks sloppy in COC match. Few injuries.

RvP can score anywhere, anytime.

Don't think captaining him against anyone is a bad move tbh

Cleanies against Stoke and Villa, United is slightly different. Rvp also scored in both games against Liverpool last season and one of Pool's centre backs will be half crocked, don't see the problem myself.

I hope Liverpool pip them 2-0... Sturridge brace

Toure not playing, Skrtel not 100 match fit, RVP could open them up like a can of baked beans

On 155 and although i'm more of DZer these days i normally stay away from joining too many leagues.

'Sides it's not even a deadzone nowadays! night time is busier here than it used to be on regular days at the "busy" time when i first found this site. Ahhhh back in my day... 😉

yes mate im 131

yep, on 139

149... but used the old WC

142 after two hits

FFS Deadzoners?

Awesome, all the best chaps.

Laced with titanium indeed!

Coutinho could do a little bit of damage here I have that 'feeling' 😯

Good deal getting 2 players on in Coutinho's place 🙂

I had the captaincy on Dzeko all week and just took it off him an hour ago *glances at his malnourished cotton balls & weeps*

Thank you for ensuring Coutinho provides some returns this week, I appreciate your generosity!

Coleman is a better option than one of Vidic or Terry in my opinion. I can see one of them. But having both of them would be a bit risky as they'll certainly be rotated throughout the season I think.

Komps will be in my side when he's back, WC or not. I think he may be an essential def to have. Vidic is a great shout too. West Ham loook great value too

By using transfers to pick up players with good fixtures and form I believe you can expect fifteen 6-7 point performances from your 6m players. If we didn't have any transfers then you would probably be better off getting a big defender.

I reckon Coleman and Toure will be in there

I'm on Soldado

Balls of Steel too ^^^^

RvP

Giroud, Michu or RVP.

michu/rvp/soldado/giroud/nolan

RVP

RvP

Says he's expected back this week, still showing red though :/

why on earth he is in your team?
wasnt he injured before gw1?
😯

RVP and it's not even close.

😆 Did you see city's "defense" last game?

RVP. Is Zab your only city coverage? I wouldn't go a defender, particularly after City conceded 3 against Cardiff (granted they will be playing at home, can't be crowded out as they were at Cardiff etc., but still, it can't be ignored).

Although home to hull is probably the most nailed on clean sheet of the season, it doesn't make him a captaincy option. Rvp or another goalscorer in your team

Prob looking for a cleanie with an assist to book, getting it is another matter after last week, I have him but wouldn't captain him. *Zabaletta now goes and scores and assists with a cleanie*

dont you think RVP is essential if he is in your team?

Maybe a cheaper option like whittingham and reinvest the cash later elsewhere. Mid price mids haven't really emerged yet

Mmmm, I'd go for either Yaya or Nolan for this week.

How short are you for Silva?

I've picked up HBA and Nolan this week to make the Benteke move possible next. I like HBA fixtures, he played well when he came on midweek I believe so he has potential. If the Toon can sort themselves out, he'll be in the thick of the points. However, that may be the biggest 'if' i've ever typed out....

Yes

Yes but that's coming from a Red lol

Yeah. If you're keen to play Barkley, get another cheap mid to rotate. I have Barkley+whittingham now. Great fix rotation and loads of cash to go round

Pends what formation he plays, I personally reckon Berbs will be there with Bent up front.

No, Fulham will play Berbatov and Bent up front with old man Duff and Taarabt/Kaca on the flanks.

Hard to predict with Fulham's squad. I'd avoid for now

need to see how Jol fields the team with Berba & Bent both starting

if he does that, which he should

Thanks for the replies.

i cant decide, would you?

I wouldn't WC but try sort out the back over coming weeks

Aguero

Walcott

you?

walcott

Silva currently

aguero for me

Dzeko

walcott

Silva

No thanks. He's done at the top level.
