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.

    Is Dzeko really worth it?

      I think so. Owning Dzeko at the right time last season helped me win my mini league last season.

      Maybe not this week. But you have to figure that he will be involved in the goals once he is fully fit.
      I may bring him in for gw17 (replacing Berahino) depending on what happens on the weekend.

      No, Dzeko is probably not worth it.

      Yes, I have just transferred him in. At least I have low expectations.

    I not only broke the cardinal fpl sin. I picked up the sin and smashed it into little pieces.

    I took an 8 point hit to bring defenders in (and I am still in the cup!)

      Taking hits for defenders should not be viewed as a 1 game..it will benefit u long term so i do not see anything wrong.

            Thanks. I think jt gives me quite a strong squad..

            Foster
            Baines - Clichy - Chambers (I know he is out this week)
            Hazard - Siggy - Sanchez - Yaya
            Costa - Dzeko - Austin (ditto Chambers)

            Myhill - Boyd - Hutton - Bartley

            Like you said. A good long term pair of transfers...

              With Dummet likely to score zero points and Chadli quite possibly not getting playing tine (along with Moore) I don't think you have much to lose with a good double hit. With some cash in the bank you could go for the Moore and Chambers > Clichy and Azpi or Debuchy upgrade. Then bench Chadli and Dummet.

                  I like A. C is an interesting differential punt but A looks best to me.However, I don't think I would take a points hit on Hutton. I would just go for the Zab transfer this week for a hit and leave the Hutton one until next week.

          As someone who owns both I would probably go for Sanchez. But if you are trying to climb leagues then Yaya is a good bet. The 4 yellow cards is a concern but that partly depends how strong your bench is.

    I found this scout article from four years ago.

    '' Firstly, the keen eyed amongst you will have noticed a certain Elfozzie making the odd comment post over the past few months. This shady character has been in the background after coming on board in the Summer, during which time he helped me out with some of his hard-earned, and basically supported me to create and launch the Members area. Elfozzie is the Scout’s Business guy – responsible for helping me to turn this site into something other than a pleasurable time sink that gets me into trouble with my girlfriend and destroys my social life. Elfozzie will be to blame if I’m still here doing this in a couple of years. ''

    So, how many of you know this Elfozzie guy? He is my opponent in the cup.

    Fabregas / Hazard / Siggurdson / Sanchez / Boyd
    Bony / Aguero (Austin)

    B. Aguero, Fabregas, Chambers -> Dzeko, Yaya Toure, Ivanovic (-4pts)
    C. Aguero, Fabregas, Boyd -> Dzeko, Yaya Toure, Mirallas (-4pts)

      1) Keep Fabregas, play Boyd.
      2) Aguero -> Dzeko as Chelsea's fixtures go south after this week
      3) Chambers -> Ivan. Not my first choice, but yours, and its your team.

      Your lineup this week:

        Cheers! Problem with spending 4 points for a defender is that I will need him to keep a CS in order to break even. I was thinking of Ivan because of his superior attacking threat in case the CS is gone. Also I think that Leicester will score.

            Hadn't seen that one before. Love the name. Voted for it.

            Alas, those numbers are upped by a team that is talented but couldn't finish well enough to put the ball in the net as requisite recently. The team on top wouldn't be there if they were actually scoring in my contrarian over-medicated sniffling drowsy opinion.

                was referring to the blue team actually

                wish I had Sanchez

                ah well...

                --- as for Arsenal... Giroud is good for Ramsey it seems but potentially bad for others... and I don't know what Arsene is going to do with the Giroud / Welbeck rotation... and meanwhile am waiting ad infinitem for Wally... though I don't even know if he can become a starter
