The ScoutCast – Episode 42 – Code 187 Nosebleed

17 November 2010 403 comments

Granville

187th in the world. Let me just say that again, 187th in the world!! I’m getting a serious nosebleed up here and my breathing is laboured. How long before I come tumbling back down the mountain?

Meanwhile, Mark is in bits and it’s understandable after the week he’s just had. In addition to my week, Bale out and Malouda captain made it a triple compound injury and the only cure for him is a bit of retail therapy in the form of ‘wildcard window shopping’.

The early transfer comes under discussion. Folly or fortune? It’s also the quarter finals of the Scout Cup III as the draw comes live(ish) from the podcast studio.

So, don’t be an ‘Audley’ Mark, you’ve gotta pick yourself up off the canvas; there’s a 187 here requiring immediate attention.

OK folks we have a glaring mistake in the cup draw. It turns out that Anorak didn’t make the quarter finals, Sandgrounder beat him soundly 54 – 46. So apologies to Sandgrounder and good luck in your tie against Gooner Dave

Rooney's lost half a stone.

If he starts I fancy him for 2 goals and an assist, and all three bonus points.

Next week is going to be a really interesting GW. Lots of people shipping out Malouda and other Chelsea players. Lots of people buying Bale and VdV.
Most importantly of all, the Elmo question might be resolved.
After all that, a Blackpool player will probably pop up and score mega-points...that's FPL for you.

  I think he will start. If he's lost half a stone in such a short space of time he must have been doing a fair bit of training. All jokes aside it's not like hes overweight so losing that much weight in a short time takes some doing generally.
  
  He seems fit, I think he will start.

Is anyone dropping Caroll due to fixtures rather than possible injuries?

I was thinking of changing him for Elamander (finally), although most of his easy games coming up are at home.

  People say it a lot when it's probably not true but I think Carroll is a season keeper for me, id lose a load of money on him, he's cheap so I'm prepared to take the rough with the smooth, he may go a few without scoring like he did a while back then hit a hot streak like now. Plus I have Elmander already 😉

Any suggestions for what to do with my team this week?
Transfers, starting XI, etc....

Foster, Krul
Cahill, Coleman, Toure, Konchesky, Stam
Malouda, Adam, Fabregas, Bale, Milijas
Carroll, Tevez, Drogba
(0.8m in the bank)

Thinking about Malouda to Nani for a 4 point hit.
Any other ideas?

Thanks

  I'd not do anything until Friday. Doubts over Carroll and Adam. Someone else is bound to pick up a knock too.

        That's just an added bonus. K Davies seems to be getting the assists(& bpt's) so even if elmander scores he will do well.

      Cahill? Or someone a lot cheaper and upgrade a defender. Or if you fancy a risk, Silva. Surely has to come good at some point. But yeah Cahill would be the obvious choice.

Afternoon all,

I have 2 freebies this week. I could ship routledge to get lee. Or I could ship berba and get davies or elmander, allowing me to get vidic or ferdy in for elmo

So I would like peoples opinions/educated guesses on which bolton /man u pairing is likely to get most points over next 3 gw's please:

berba / lee
vidic / davies
ferdinand / davies
vidic / elmander
ferdy / elmander

Or the punt: malouda >> lee and berba >> rooney

thoughts?

Afternoon All,

On my wildcard at the minute and have decided on everything but the defence (I've got 29.1m to spend). So far I've come up with:

A) A Cole, Vidic, Coleman, Foley, Simpson
B) Ivanovic, Vidic, Kolorov, Coleman, Simpson

Which one do you think, or has any one got any better suggestions?

    I would honestly stay clear of Chelsea defense without Alex and Terry. They were shocking the other day. Also, is Kolarov a nailed-on starter?

  Ok...assuming that link on your name isn't your team.
  
  Your team isn't in too bad shape. The obvious move to make is get rid of Terry as he's injured. Obvious choice is Vidic if you can afford if not Ferdinand to get the United coverage. Cech will be good enough for Chelsea defensive coverage.
  
  Your midfield is week. Suggest trying to draft in either Bale/van der Vaart as well Nani is essential.
  
  Thats a good start anyway.

I should be keeping track of my mini leagues teams a little more I think. My lead has been slipping considerably, seems whatever choices I make recently are just going wrong.

But nearly all my rivals have VDV, and if they dont have VDV they have Bale. I have neither. And nearly all of them now have Elmander, I feel like I should get him just to counter any more gains on my lead. I was thinking about getting VDV and Elmander anyway...

      True. The plan over the next few weeks is to get rid of
      
      Drogba Malouda Zhirkov Elmo to get in
      
      Rooney VDV Kolarov Vidic
      
      So getting 1 Man City defender but don't really want 2.

So, I am just wondering whether to do some transfers or not.
Current team is:
Hahnemann (Foster)
Kolarov | A Cole | Coleman (Elmohamady, Enrique)
Nani | Fabregas | Van der Vaart | N'Zogbia (Ferguson)
Drogba | Elmander | Carroll

Team ID: 1665396

Any suggestions? Do I need to do some transfers in the defence? Got a free transfer, but don't really worry about point hits.
