The ScoutCast – Episode 136 – Bangin

Fond of sand dunes and salty air, Granville returns from “avin’ it large” in Ibiza, to join me once again in the ScoutCast studio.

The ageing hedonist and I rinse through the regulars – giving our views on the week’s transfer bandwagons, whilst previewing the weekend and giving a shout-out to those managers blazing trails atop the various Fantasy Football Scout leagues.

Inevitably, we also moan about our Gameweek mishaps, discuss the latest development in the United revolution and surf the waves being generated by the Fantasy Premier League price tweaks.

Drop the beats via this link or “roll another fat one” via the handy player below…

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

    which 3 of these 5 do I start?
    Dummet-Ferdinand-Naylor-Moore-Pva
    Also would it be worth ding Dummet to Bertrand for a hit?

    Defence for the week is -

    Krul
    Naylor, Colo, Pva (Chester, Moore)

    Should I do Chester > Bertrand and bench Colo or Naylor or just save the FT?

              Betfair will be a little unreliable in this market because liquidity isnt very good.

              Probably a touch safer checking a non-exchange bookmaker like bet365 who have:

              Sunderland 3.25
              Southampton 3.5

              This is basically the same price - 3.25 gives us an implied probaility of a Sunderland clean sheet of 31%, whilst 3.5 is a probability of a Southampton clean sheet of 29%.

    Worth a WC next GW to get Pelle and Aguero in, would otherwise cost me -12?
    Their next fixtures are:
    Aguero: hul, avl, TOT, whu, MNU, qpr, SWA (although his hamstring probably won't last this long 😀 )
    Pelle: QPR, tot, SUN, STK, hul, LEI, avl.

            I wouldn't have said so, although their defence is better. Think Swansea will definitely score

    If Soldado plays will he take spot kicks off Adebayor?

      Bertrand is a good pick long term but don't fancy him to get points this week

    Current team - 0FT

    De Gea
    Terry - Bertrand - Clyne
    Fabregas - Siggy - Sterling - Ramsey
    Rooney - Costa - Naismith

    Bench - Henderson - Hutton - Moore - Gilks

    Is it unnecessary to bring in Baines for Terry for -4 this week? I've not taken a hit so far this season. Should I just hold fire on this transfer til GW8?

      Moreno but only because Lovren is close to a drop. If you can hold off until then, then take Lovren at 0.2 cheaper.
