With cheque books fluttering on the eve of the transfer window slamming shut, our Fantasy seasons could be transformed by some notable new arrivals. In this week’s ScoutCast episode, Granville and I chew over the latest fresh faces to crash the player list – United’s “Angel” Di Maria and Liverpool’s “Devil” Balotelli.

With just a single point between us and the comfort of top 100k placings, my co-host and I are more than just a little content as we the rule over the current bandwagons and preview another weekend’s action. It won’t last.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Is it worth taking at 4pt hit on Bojan>Naismith?

      Depends on the team. But I'd say yes even though you've missed the price rise/drop

      Not now you have missed the prise rise and drop , depends on what your midfield look like can you play a 5 ?

        Marney is my 5th mid. Or Wisdom as a 4th Def

          At this point I would take a chance on marney against poor Man U defence , Naismith got to score or get an assist and bonus to get you back the -4 , I would look to ship out bojan if he does not play and people start transferring him out Saturday to avoid a price drop again , you got anything in the bank?

            Yes, I think Marney is the better option, but he took a knock mid week and could be doubtful.
            Unfortunately no money in bank either. Missed the bandwagon on a few price rises and got stumped by a couple of drops; Bojan, Mata & Bartley (who's only had -2000 transfers!)

            Avoiding the WC for now but will probably play it for GW4 unless things look bright. Thanks for the tips.

      just to get Naismith? NO. But if you otherwise have to play Bojan and cannot bench him then it might be worth it

    Sanchez or Ramsey?
    I was thinking of Ramsey->Sanchez since he'll probably be the striker now with giroud injured.
    Thoughts?

      only get Sanchez if you don't have Ramsey yet. But if you have Ramsey then I would NEVER kick him out just to get Sanchez. You could play both but i don't think it's a good option in the long run

    Am I in la-la land if I take -4 hit to bring in Ivanovic for Terry. Someone posted earlier he expected plenty of goals v Everton. If this scenario played out I would expect Ivanovic to be involved in some way. I know Terry is also no mug himself but Ivanovic is on fire atm. This has been driving me nuts all week but I feel compelled in some way to do it. Ivanovic to go BOOM.

    With home games against SWA and AVL on the horizon, it could be folly to take a hit and get rid of Costa. Suppose a lot of people will be Wildarding next week anyway, so they won't be too bothered.

    Already taken a hit to get rid of Austin & Jones > Ade & Dummett. But still have Costa Chester Chambers & Marney & far from certain to start. So my question is Go in with 10 & hope one of Chamber & Marney start. Take another hit.... Or activate WC & had a make over with no hits! Team below Begovic Ferdinand Dummett Terry Mata Fabregas Ramsey Sigurdsson Adebayor Costa Rooney Gilks Chambers Marney Chester Thanks for any advice
