The ScoutCast – Episode 171 – Flagging

WC team.

Elliot (Howard)
Janmaat Bellerin Souare (Davis) (Nyom)
Sanchez KDB(VC) Mane Walcott (Tettey)
Sturridge Vardy Pelle(C)

Thoughts?

How poor you have to be to make jokes of someone to who English isn't his native language? 😛

I have to decide between Costa and Sturridge.. Surely Costa right? Mainly because sturridge could get injured again..

Berbinho's Forehead, you posted a 🙁 comment a few days ago, how are you now?

Might as well take some hits on defence (on top of -4 Aguero > Lukaku) to sort this out. My only fit defender is Francis.

Kolarov
Evans
Cresswell
Gomez
Francis

If one of the top 3 is ruled out, Gomez > Bellerin is a good shout right, even for -8. Might pay back this week and def will long-term

Lukaku or Sturridge to replace Aguero?

Sorry I think this got lost in the abyss on the last page, thanks for those who commented but I'd appreciate a little more feedback. Sorry if it is a bit long but I like typing.

I've drafted the below wildcard team, below it are my thoughts behind it. Would be interested if you could please let me know:

1) What you rate it out of 10
2) Which of my thoughts (A to M) you agree/disagree with?

Butland, Hennessey
Bellerin, Bertrand, Dawson, Moreno, Davies
Sanchez, KDB, Hazard, Ayew, Wanyama
Pelle, Lukaku, Vardy

A) Not hugely fussed about which 4.5 keeper, I think Butland has scope for improvement when ShawX is back. I don't think 5.0 keepers are worth the extra outlay given the new bonus system/save points.
B) I quite fancy Hennessey to keep his spot as a punt and even if he doesn't I'm not too worried as he is just 3.9 and it'll save me my usual keeper rotation headache.
C) Kolarov, even if fit, could eventually become a rotation threat, and could easily become under threat of being rested - I think it is time for me to say goodbye.
D) Owning a West Brom defender over the season will be essential and Dawson is a safe option to keep hold of.
E) Bellerin and Bertrand both capable of attacking and defensive returns and I think they'll be up at the top of the defender rankings at the end of the season for a reasonable price.
F) Davies is a bit of a risk but seems to have nailed down his place, Moreno is now nailed on. For 4.5 and 4.7, I see this pair as well worth the 0.2 premium over a pair of different 4.5s.
G) Sanchez is a season keeper and no brainer, at least until Aguero returns KDB is the best City cover and even then it is probably worth doubling up.
H) Despite the poor form you have to back Chelsea to pick it up at some point and the fixtures suggest that time is now, Hazard covers this, to wildcard without this cover could easily end up in a mad scramble in a week or two. Having Hazard, KDB and Sanchez leaves multiple options for getting Aguero back in at a later date.
I) Long term Ayew and Payet will probably score similar, Ayew is that little bit cheaper so worth saving the money.
J) There are loads of options in midfield and up front across all price brackets - for this reason I don't see the need and don't want to double up on Leicester, Southampton or any other team's attacking assets (I don't count Wanyama).
K) Lukaku is in form and I'll want him in GW11 in any event, so may as well get him in now.
L) It was a close call between Vardy and Mahrez and I went Vardy. Vardy and Wanyama is 0.4 cheaper (at least for me) than Mahrez and Ighalo, this along with selection made easier by perma-benching Wanyama made up my mind on this one.
M) Picking Pelle over Mane was a close call, I think he will be more consistent but less explosive.

Should I be worried about Zouma's starting position?

Thoughts on this WC team? Any improvements appreciated.

Begovic - Hennessey

Bellerin - Cedric - Dawson - Moreno - B Davies

Hazard - Sanchez - De Bruyne - Payet - Mahrez

Pelle - Vardy - Ighalo

My front 8:
Hazard - KdB - Payet - Mahrez - Westwood
Pelle - Sakho - Ighalo

I am thinking Westwood -> Sanchez for a FT, but have just enough money to do so, cant wait till todays price changes then.

Yay or nay?

WC Team and play bench boost. My idea is to keep my first position in the league and then win the first prize of the season.

Butland - Elliot
Cedric - Zouma - Gabriel - Dawson - Coloccini
Cabaye - Fernandinho - Payet - KDB - Mané
Bony - Diego Costa - Pelle

what do you think , any recommendations ??

Thank so much¡

Hi I'm Troy McClure, you may remember me from transfers such as Gomez > Bellerin

I've seen quite a few touting Moreno this week.

Surely given his next 5 GWs it's not worth having him is it?

Diouf ruled out and only have crap defenders on bench. Do I do -4 to Pellè ?? Have already taken a hit, but move would be advantage for Manager of Month 100 quid prize... 😉

Anything worth a -4 here? Quite a few of my rivals have taken a -4.

McCarthy

Sagna Darmian Prodl

Mahrez KdB Mahrez Payet

Martial Vardy Pelle

Subs: Westwood Richards Gomez

Sanchez vs KDB for most points in the next 4GW.

mata-martial
kdb
walcott
lukaku-barkley
costa - Hazard

I have
Sanchez - Mahrez - Payet - Mane -
- Diouf(i) - Vardy

Choose a pair of a 1 MID + 1 FWD (I have cash for all combinations except Costa +KDB/ hazard)

I don't follow the price sites that closely but I see Sanchez on 96% to rise.

Hypothetically, if you were that fool who shipped him out two weeks ago and were planning to bring him back in, hypothetically speaking, would 96% be a risk to rise?

This is all hypothetical, of course.

Walcott or Mane captain?

Who to get?
A) Vardy
B) Lukaku
C) Costa
D) Sturridge

Mahrez to Theo? Already have Vardy.

I need a defender at 4.3-4.5 that is nailed for his team's next two matches. Which one would you recommend?

Who has taken hits, and how many?

A) So. What's the situation with Sanchez, are we captaining or is there serious doubt?

B) Who are you replacing Aguero with?

Shall I captain Sanchez or KDB??!

Team good to go? 4.9m ITB and a -4 hit taken

Bit contradictory with Cedric and Mahrez but haven't got the stones to bench either

I think its finally time to say goodbye to Silva, its been fun! Welcome Alexis!

Chances of YaYa playing this weekened?

Already taken 0.2 drop on him - tempted to take him out for -4

1) KDB
2) Haz

A) Kane
B) Bony
