The ScoutCast – Episode 128 – Robotic

Is there really room for emotion and sentiment in Fantasy Football management? This week’s episode questions whether the detached, cold and almost robotic approach is the way to go. Of course, Granville and I already know the answer, leaving us to curse our sensitive sides. Ironically, this realisation comes after a weekend when, not for the first time, Aleks Kolarov almost reduced me to tears.

The pair of us manage to restore a stiff upper lip long enough to rinse through further double Gameweek debate, chew the fat over the belated Luis Suarez assist and take on another selection of posers from you, the listener. There’s “all aboard” the weekend preview and the latest in my battle with the ScoutCast XI. It’s beating me again. Without a player from the top four. Is it any wonder I’m an emotional wreck?

      Same dilemma, I'm going Flanagan I think. Triple attack is risky regardless of team involved plus sterling is rotating with Coutinho

      Dann over Ward. CB, nailed and would get BP's. Cheaper as well. Adrian to Kelvin.

        Maybe. Same thing when i got eriksen and adebayor together, because their last 3 games at that point, every spurs goal involved them two. I think the same of nolan and carroll, one will get an assist for the other. They're at home too. Of course they might not score at all.

        It's a dgw punt, carrying them until aguero is back. The other options are upgrading sterling to gerrard, or doubling up on city midfield, changing hazard for silva.

    Not sure why Mark's so confident on Collins starting both double matches this week. He was dropped earlier this season so Reid / Tomkins seems to be Fat Sam's preferred pairing. As for his comments about sloppy defensive play and mistakenly making team changes i think it's more likely Nocerino or Diame drop out as a result.

      He was dropped and they conceded 3 to stoke. Then Big Sam made comments that indicate he'll bring him back.

      There's nothing he hates more than conceding goals.

        At whose expense though? He never drops Tomkins. Reid is their most talented centre half by miles. Unless he drops Reid I don't see it.
        Blame for leaky defending isn't solely the responsibility of the centre backs.

          Probably he'll revert to Tomkins - Collins. They were doing really well to be fair. They'll probably need to have their own debacle for Reid to get a look in.

          Or maybe Reid - Collins. Reid's pretty fast and Collins is really physical. Could work out.

          Really think Collins will be back.

            Defo don't think Tomkns gets dropped. MAYBE Reid but I woudn't be so confident of it.

            Basically he brought in several players vs Stoke. Gave starts to, Reid, Nocerino and Diame so his comments could mean the latter 2 drop out... and they'd be easier to drop since Reid is a bit of a fan's favourite.

            Me too.

            Just looking at it as a defensive move to stop me from haemorrhaging points against the masses.

            I want to hold onto a top 10K finish and I'm pretty sure Yaya will be omnipresent in the teams around me... true of Hazard too, but like you say, those extra games make him a real threat.

        Its very irritating, this protection malarky this season. The fact is that he is now owned by less than prob when the season started and yet he's still a full million more expensive than back then - if he stays fit he'll end up being one of the most expensive players in the league with feck all ownership by comparison with, say Yaya or Eden

          His ownership has actually increased by 32127 since GW1, and his current ownership is 8.5%. His GW1 ownership was presumably much lower, partly because of Chelsea's DGW, and his 12 points in GW1 compared with Lukaku's 2 points caused his ownership to increase rapidly in GWs 2 and 3.

        Yeah I get that but price protection is usually only applied after the flag is removed, and for a fairly short period so just being injured doesn't warrant a flag.

      total FPL says he's protected, but Fiso doesn't agree. They also disagree about RVP. Could it be an error in totalFPL? They did have some problems concerning alleged price protection earlier this season.
