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.

    Hi all,
    Looking to shift Fabregas for the upcoming GW - have decent Chelsea coverage, like most, with Hazard & Costa.

    If considering Man City MIDs - which way to go: Yaya Toure, Nasri or wait for Silva news?

      Toure. Easily given pens, free kicks, recent goal record

      I'd wait for some Silva news, he's great value at 8.8. Perhaps this is the week to monitor the City mids before acting on impulse 😉

        You might be right Zasa. Currently assessing whether or not to hold off, avoid the hit - sort out the keeper issue only and play one of Boyd or Naylor to cover Fabregas - with the view to moving him on next week for City MID.
        Having said that, City at Leicester could make for some tasty returns for the City MIDs...

      Get Yaya in this GW if you can afford him.....keep him for the Xmas period......and in Jan downgrade him to Nasri or Silva when he heads off to the ACON. You'll save funds and it will give you enough time to see who is playing better between Nasri & Silva

      Jesus I just convinced myself to get YaYa next GW 🙂

          Sorry, should probably have said Wanyama to Hazard or Sanchez. If you get both of them you'll need to be confident that the extra one you bring in will score at least once to make it worthwhile because it'll be costing you -4.

    Can people here confirm, the earliest we can have a WC team to play is gw 21 and the latest is gw 24 correct? Is it usually better to keep towards the end of January so we have more clarity on the transfers / squads?

    The January Wildcard can only be used after Gameweek 20 starts (1 Jan 11:30) until Gameweek 23 ends (7 Feb 11:30); as the January wildcard isn't available until after the Gameweek 20 deadline, the earliest these transfers will be active is Gameweek 21.

      Better to keep til the end just in case of transfers and also it's generally better to hold your WC if you can. That being said the Jan WC is a bit different. I think it's worth playing for an 8pt hit if you were forced that way, as youre unlikely to take that much in hits over a short space of time.

      Just look at the dates, not too hard 🙂

      I tend to keep towards the end of January. Don't think the top clubs will be affected much but the value tends to found at the bottom half. Expect Pulis to come in for one of the strugglers.

      Right, so the earliest you could play it would be immediately after the GW20 deadline has passed, in time for GW21. Holding on for later has the benefit of seeing if there are January transfers, as you say. There will be those who like to play it early if there team is an injured/suspended mess, and others who want to build TV at the start of January, but generally people will say hold out until the end of the month.

    Alright I'll make this one simple mates, looking for some more opinions before my future shitty GW
    Keeping in mind I've taken a hit for Bego --> Fabi, only 2 GW's ago. I'm reluctant to take another hit for my GK so soon, would rather have a rotation going (6 hits in total)

    Gilks (Fabi*)
    Baines | Terry | Wisdom | Dummet | (Duff*)
    Sanchez | Hazard | Oscar | Siggy | (Marney)
    Bony | Dzeko | (Austin*)

    Which of these for a hit? (5.0m ITB)
    A) Duff --------> Zaba/Vergini/Cresswell (Better starting X, no GK)
    B) Gilks ------> Panti (Full XI )
    C) Marney----> 9.4 mid

          Yea was going to say, if C, go with Downing though it's a little underwhelming - still looks like raking in the points as long as WHU keeps up their form. Save some bullets in the bank, no point going balls out and spending the cash right away on another big hitter when Downing is doing the same.

          Maybe even Eriksen after this week. Peach few fixtures.

        Well then Walshy, that it interesting (licking my wounds & all that).
        You're right though, many are taking hits in different directions this week, many are lopsided & this may not be the week to take one.

      If you ask yourself which of these choices can make up for your hit over next 2-3 weeks you would prob say a mid or possibly an attacking defender like Zaba. (def not a GK) Given his fixtures he prob will pick up at least a few clean sheets along the way. Rotation is your only risk, but I doubt Pellegrini will move him out of the starting lineup given his form, he's scored 2 in the last few weeks. Cresswell plays @Chelsea, vs Arsenal and @Swansea within their next 6 so prob would stay away.

      As far as C goes, depends who you want to bring in. 0.2 more and you can steal ADM. There is plenty others just not sure who interests you. (Silva/Nasri, Downing, Eriksen, even Tadic has a nice fixture @Burnley)

    Re: your posts about City having only 5 CS's, I give you this post which is a (non-numerical) look at City's CS history and what it suggests about their CS potential going forwards. As I'm sure you'll see, their potential for CS's is much higher now due to ease of fixtures, particularly their home fixtures.

          If you don't have a playing 2nd GK then I'd pick Hart. If you do, and that gk rotates well with panti, then panti. Its a really close-run decision though.

      Feel he was criticized rather harshly on Wednesday, coming into the game, I wasn't expecting any miracles. Just wanted to see how rusty he was & whether he was making decent runs into the box.
      Scoring goals was an added bonus IMO.

      Like Mark said, with these fixtures & poor opposition defensively.
      He doesn't have to be in the form of his life against these guys, with Nasri/YYT/Silva all fit & delivering balls, at most he'll be making tap ins.
