The ScoutCast – Episode 145 – Retro

3,949 Comments
Share

This week’s ScoutCast is a throwback – a return to the days when Granville moaned about his team of red flags and names like Robin van Persie and Yaya Toure dominated our thinking.

Granville and I slip into such subject matter like it’s a pair of old slippers, whilst assessing the Aguero fall-out, the Dzeko option, Ivanovic versus “Dave” Azpi and how I’ve modelled my Fantasy Football management style on Roy Hodgson.

We roll out the regulars and lament the demise of the ScoutCast team – eliminated in the opening round of our own cup competition. Some things never change.

Swim in nostalgia via this link or roll back the years via the player below…

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

        As a Kane owner I cannot wait to get rid. That said, if he gets something at Swansea that would be a good reason to keep for his following two plum fixtures.

              1) Look at the fixtures
              2) Predict who will score the most pts of the two
              3) Transfer them in

                        How is points-per-game-per-million some sort of complex math equation? Its very simple and basic calculations.

                        FYI, that was the first time I've ever posted calculations like that, and I probably won't do it again as I do agree that its kind of useless in the main, but it seems like you're criticizing me for actually having an analytical approach to "everything".

                        Personally I think some analytics is a welcome introduction to this forum, where 99% of the posts are AvsB questions, RMT's, or just general panic attacks about price changes.

                          Hey there. I'm just reading this thread and not to put words in anyone's mouths, but you might both be right. The points per million analysis is an interesting topic, so I applaud you for exploring, but at some point the nature of this game and the fact that we have to spend the money means that the spending becomes more inefficient the more expensive the players get, so no equation will be able to help figure out how to spend it all. Just a thought.

                            Thanks, great points. I agree with you, the value naturally gets smaller and smaller the more expensive you go, but you've got to put your money somewhere no matter how small the gains are. I enjoy playing around with stats and taking different views on things, even if some of my analysis is somewhat up in the air.

          Which all relies on RMT projections. Nice enough as a guide, but shouldn't be used as if it's some tool of mathematical precision. Attempting to gauge the value is also a fool's errand, you'll waste your life away on that stuff and to no avail. Pick the move you think will score more points in the next few weeks, then do the same again when you have more transfers to make.

          Becasue Rogers is starting to realise that Gerrard can't play every game and is a rubbish defensive mid anyways

            yeah pretty much. Lucas is incredibly underrated imo - he does those dirty things like making fouls to stop counterattacks, winning the ball at the halfway line to start counters, and covering behind fullbacks when they get caught out of position. Those things have been the MAJORLY deficient in the last 18 months

              Too many people falling into the trap of having a glammour player there that looks good passing the ball. Works well at Chelsea cos Matic is a beast and a lot of people dont realise Fabregas is a pretty decent tackler too.They need to be less Gerrard more Jedinak 😆

                If Arsenal or Liverpool bought someone like William Carvalho to be their Matic they would be much, much stronger in midfield. I doubt it'll happen in liverpool's case though since Emre Can is there already

        @Get Out Micah (and anyone else on a WC):

        Hart + Hamer looks like the best choice for sure. Hart has 5 great fixtures next, and when they get tough in gw21-23 Hamer has AVL STO (though you'd have to choose between mun/che in gw23).

        Hart-Heaton is great too since Heaton has QPR CPL sun from gw21-23, but 10.5 for gk's might be a stretch.

        Just my 2 cents 😉

          Bad advice. My 2 cents.

          2 Cheap GKs always prove the best value.

          If on WC probably go with 2 of Panti, Foster, Alnwick or Hamer, until Jan. WC.

          I would much rather have Zab + cheap GK than Hart and cheap defender..

            Thats not true though. People who chose Hart from the start of the season would have scored much better than most 9m rotations, and with City's home fixtures getting much better they're likely to get even more CSs from now on too.

            Luckily for me I can afford the extra 0.5 spend on Hart over Fab-Panti since Aguero is out, so why wouldn't i go for the one who'll score most?

          I'm only getting Benteke for gw19 i think, either for costa or kane. Until then I think his fixtures are quite tricky:

          wba - derby but usually low scoring
          MUN - villa always lose that fixture... even moyes won 3-0 there
          swa - decent defense

          SUN CPL lei are the ones I want him for.

          West Brom and Villa rotate home and away.

          If you'd picked Guzan and Foster from the start, playing whoever was at home every week, it would have got you 37 points so far.

          If you'd played the one with the away fixture each week, however, it would have got you 69 points so far.

            It would be cool to see some data around whether there are home/away splits for different quality teams, like the top clubs are tighter at home, or the weaker ones park the bus away. I wonder if the data actually support these narratives or not.

              I think it would very difficult to prove/disprove. On a club by club basis though, I think you could find data to support it. Would depend a lot on the manager - Mourinho dominating games against weaker sides at home, and keeping things tight away to big clubs for example, but then conceding more away to smaller teams. Alan Irvine's West Brom seem to be a side that go for it at home, but shut up shop away, for example, if you have a look at their results.

                Good points, plus figuring out what constitutes a stringer or weaker team would be quite subjective at best unless you analyzed every gameweek based on the records of the teams at that time. I like the idea of focusing on managers as much as teams.

            He won't understand that. Use math formulas to clarify things.

            Say x represents the unknown.

            Swansea
            = 15(x)
            = 15(0.4)
            = 6 CS

            Sunderland
            = 15(x)
            = 15(.33..)
            = 5 CS

            Man City
            = 15(x)
            = 15(.33..)
            = 5 CS

            Therefore we cannot predict the variable of x, as it is unknown in the game of FPL.

            Arsenal tend to plunder the goals at home to Newcastle in recent fixtures... could be worth a flutter. Man City have the upcoming fixtures to suggest opportunity for returns for their MIDs, and FWDs alike
