The ScoutCast – Episode 221 – Spurred

Was a good episode, 8/10.

No injuries in the United game correct?

2FT and 0.9m itb.

Valdes | Pickford
Alonso Valencia Alderweireld | Evans Amat
Hazard Alli Sanchez Sterling King
Vardy Carroll | Anichebe

Proposed Moves:

Sterling + Vardy -> Zaha + Kane

Any other suggestions

Such a shame to see a titan of FPL reduced to scrambling around in a mini league. Hopefully next season Jonty will be back in the top 5K where he belongs.

Pickford
Luiz - Davies - Holgate
Pedro - Sigurdsson - Sanchez - Eriksen
Lukaku - Vardy - Origi

Valdes, Valencia, JWP, Chambers

2FT & £1.1m ITB

Vardy and Sigurdsson to Kane and Zaha?

United can potentially have 12 fixtures between April 16th and May 24th, if they make the EL final.
The rotation will remind me of Liverpool last year.

My team is
Jaku, Pickford
Baines, Valencia, Smith, Amat, Mawson
Sanchez, Siggy, King, Eriksen, Fletcher
Aguero, Vardy, Lukaku

I have two free transfers. One crazy idea I had was to do Aguero, Vardy and Fletcher to Kane, Benteke and Zaha for -4 and play all out attack. Yay or nay?

Any other suggestions?

Sorry for the repost, posted at the very end of the last article.

Am I crazy to BB in GW34?

Bench will be Jaku (WAT), Pieters (swa), B Davies (pal), Sane (MU).

Just think there are plenty of points there and I'd rather have the money to spend on 11 good players for the later DGWs rather than spread my squad to thin. I can raise about 4m from those players after a WC in week 35 and I don't see the point having that much value on the bench for 3 of the last 4 matches. Plus there'll most likely be less to play for in GWs 36/37 so rotation is a risk.

Why's Ozil not top of the watchlist?

Went Dele ->Ozil for -4 on reading that.

A) Vardy + Sterling > Kane + Zaha

B) Carroll + Sanchez > Kane + Zaha

Aguero gonna be a great differential this week!

Please bench one ?

A Alonso (mun)
B Valencia (CHE)
C Ward (LEI)

Captain:
Lukaku or Kane ?

Wanted PVA this week....is Joel Ward a decent alternative?

Valencia flag removed 🙂

Any truth to Mourinho saying Valencia can't play every game?

Right decision needs to be made. I'm kinda favouring A.

A. Sanchez & Llorente - > Zaha & Kane (c) -4

B. Ibra - > Kane. Next gwk: Lukaku & Siggy -> Ibra & Zaha - 4

Thoughts?

Sanchez or Sterling up until the DGW's?

Has anyone nailed a decent wildcard gw36 team to bb37 yet?

2 very early options....any views?

A
Foster pickford
Mustafi Bailly stones yoshida holgate
Sanchez hazard alli sane jwp
Kane Jesus gabbi

B
Foster pickford
Mustafi Bailly verthongen stones yoshida
Sanchez alli sane Redmond king
Kane Ibra gabbi

While doing this it appeared clear that it is impossible to have 15dgw that all have decent fixtures.

And the fitness of lads like Jesus and gabbi is crucial to have fully rounded decent teams....any views?...thanks

Evening chaps

I've been doing some calculated tinkering and I believe that there's a really strong case to be made for playing the WC this week rather than waiting. I'll show you my example WC and my planned moves thereafter and why I think it's a genuinely valid option:

Valdes, Pickford

Alonso, Bailly, yoshida, ward, holgate

Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, Zaha, Davies

Kane, Ibra, Lukaku

And my planned transfers:

Gw34 save ft
Gw35 valdes > foster
Gw36 Eriksen and Lukaku > Sanchez and gabbiadini
Gw37 ward > DGW defender

Obviously everyone's team value is different. I'm around the 107m mark and can make these moves with 0.6 or so spare currently. These above moves involve not a single hit.

To summarise further:

DGW34 players: valdes, ward, Ibra, Valencia, Zaha

DGW36 players: Yoshida, Sanchez, gabbiadini

DGW37: 12 or 13 including all the big hitters (haZard Sanchez Ibra Kane Alli).

The only attacking player I would own in GW37 who doesn't have a DGW is Zaha, who plays Hull at home.

I'm more than aware that plans such as these can often go wrong, but I believe it's a valid choice to make the WC now because many of the players we will be targeting in dgw37 are players we would want now anyway (Kane hazard and Alli for example) , and by WCing now I am still very much able to make the most of DGWs 36 and 37 but ALSO fielding 5 players for DGW34.

Obviously my team is just an example, but would be good to get your thoughts, whether they be good or bad

Someone convince me against doing Sanchez + A. Carroll --> Kane + Zaha for a -4

Team:

Pickford
Valencia - Alonso - Davies
Siggy - Sanchez - King - Alli
Lukaku - Aguero - Carroll
(Boruc / Yoshida / J. Evans / Romeu)

Gonna be a lot of disappointed folk expecting big things from dgw 37 bench boost 😉

Play one:

Alonso (mun)
Carroll (sun)

How did Ibra play? I am debating getting rid for Kane (I have Alli and Eriksen) but the DGW makes it so hard....

Decision made. Here's what I'm going with.

Grant

Valencia Alonso Davies (McAuley)

Alli Zaha Sigurdsson Coutinho (King)

Kane (c) Lukaku Ibra

Call me a chicken but can't get rid of Sanchez.

Groscki 》 Zaha and playing AOA.

Alonso McAuley (Gibson, Fuchs, Amat
Alli Eriksen Zaha Sanchez Siggy
Llorente Kane Lukaku

was really looking forward to gw37 with wc/bb

now im just intimidated...................to difficult to find the right combo......too many elites aguero/costa/kane/haz/sanchez etc making it near impossible to form a squad

arghhhhh 🙁

Am I good to go.
Grant
Baines Alonso Walker
Alli Walcott Siggy Sterling
Aguero Kane c Llorente

King Brunt Daniels Jaku

All in order here or should I transfer out one of my mids for Zaha .
Would be for a hit.

Who to play? 🙂

1) Jaku (Stoke away) and Robertson (Stoke away)
2) Heaton (Everton away) and Robertson (Stoke away)

Bit of a boring one, sorry guys!

Play Pickford (WHU) or Hennessey (LEI) this weekend? Thinking maybe Hennessey as Leicester might be rotated!

Thanks!
