The ScoutCast – Episode 49 – Follicle Foibles

7 April 2011 648 comments

Granville

What have Mark’s facial hair and Roger Johnson’s short back and sides got in common? Both somehow make appearances in this hastily arranged episode of the Scoutcast. That reminds me, I learnt a new word today in my car ride to work – ‘merkin’ – honestly I had no idea before today. (Get to the point Granville – Editor Mark)

Focusing on the serious business of Fantasy Football and I stretched my lead this week, contrary to Mark’s assessment of my ‘troubled’ squad in last week’s episode; he really needs to pull off miracles now if he’s to get back in it.

Elsewhere, Aleksandar “Lolorov” gets more than just a passing mention. Is it me or does that player get more attention on our site than any other player bar Nicolas Bendtner and Matt Taylor?

All aboard is back and guess who’s the most transferred player in this week? I’ll give you a clue – he’s not playing this weekend. Oh how we love those casual Fantasy Football managers!

      If it said Lampard A.Cole and Terry. Then I'd agree with him. But Rooney is kinda important. (As much as I HATE him).

        That's the point, make the FA consider their actions n future.
        At the start of the 2006-07 season. Rooney was sent off in the opening game of the Amsterdam Tournament in a pre-season friendly against Porto. He was then effectively banned for four games since he was forced to miss United’s second game of the Amsterdam tournament and when he returned to Manchester United the FA decided to slap him with an additional three match domestic ban. Fergie said he would never again enter that tournament.

        Shearer when faced with an FA ban for a kick at Neil Lennons face allegedly threatened to pull out of the world cup squad if he was reprimanded. He got away with it.

        Rooney should accept that he was dreadful at the world cup and start trying to get the fans back on side.
        
        He should not be trying to turn them against him further.

      I've changed my tune in the last year or so, totally disillusioned with the national team now. No England fan likes Rooney or Ferdinand anyway, so it would be a mutually agreed divorce.

If you were to get rid of one who would get the chop:
a)VDV(no form but good fixtures)
b)Nasri(no form, double on the horizon)
c)nani(rotation risk and average fixtures)

Suarez -> Drogba
Silva -> Adam
Kelly -> Jones

Then no transfers next week for a free double ahead of the DGWs

Madness?

Right lads been doing some thinking.

Rooney Vs Drogba/Torres (FPL wise)

Rooney over the next five weeks fixtures (blank, new, EVE, ars, CHE)

Compared to Drogba/Torres (WIG, wba & BIR, WHU, TOT mnu)

Right, that alone has made my mind up. Regardless of whether they are both rotation risks. I am taking a hit for it, but I don't care, SURELY both should outscore him over the next 3 GW's at least??

Now the question is... Which one??

    Went Dynamo -1 instead of Porto -1, which also let me down in a 4 fold for like £27. Also, was just about to put money on Falcao to be next goalscorer but bottled it......
    
    Guess what happened? I just think I had so much luck last week, won more money than I have ever before and was on such a roll, now all the luck has gone, I'm due a bad streak I suppose.

King Eric, in America
15 years, 21 days ago
Sorry for re-post, but 'lost' on last article - and what I say is so important 🙂
--------------
Forgive if this has been discussed or obvious …

But Sporting Life discussed before the MU/CHE game that the FA was going to tell SAF what their diecision was before the game, but not make it public until Thurs, in order not to upset the game. SAF would have the option of whether to tell Roon …

So, since SAF knew before the game that the ban was to remain 2 games, perhaps he sat Nani in order to keep him fresh-o for the upcoming matches – where Nani’s scoring would be much needed?

Seems to suggest that Nani’s not as much as a risk for rotation – but in fact nailed-on to start, yeah?

Thoughts?

  Fed your team into my buddy's Rate-My-Team site. Useful way of looking at the different permutations of possible transfers.
  
  http://www.ratemyteam.co.uk/team.php?userid=4933
  
  He doesn't see Lampard scoring 4 whole points more than any of your current avilable midfields/strikers though. If you use the "add player" feature you'll notice he sees it more like a 2-point improvement, which suggests to me that if you want to get Lamps in, you'll need to captain him to make it worth it, and even then it's a risk.
  
  None of the other players are worth getting in, imo. None of them are nailed on starters for their respective double gameweeks. Hope that helps.

        Might be better for you to sit on Roon or go for Drogs instead.
        
        Even Ramires has looked more dangerous than Lamps IMO.

        The penalty factor is the big swing for me, against united if the ref had given the penalty would potentially be another goal for lamps this season and everybody would say he was 'essential'.

        True, but the extra value-saved could bring in more points elsewhere ...
        
        Ach, there's the rub, eh?

        Lampard never fills me with confidence when he steps up to take a penalty.

  Was dropped recently, subbed at the weekend and have bigger issues and can rest on the bench for me. Can't do players not playing 60 mins plus.

      In the dgw he was on the bench for both games and came on as sub. So he was definitely dropped and he was injured for ROI match but was subbed off in the last match.

  If Coleman doesn't play, Steven Reid will take to the field for my team...what was intended to be a joke 2 week transfer is turning into a bitter reality.

    Should I play Coleman (wol) or Dempsey (man)?
    Thinking Dempsey, as he's on pens and Fulham could fight well at OT.

      Dempsey, no doubt, might nick a goal.

  Looks like he's out of my team for luiz. Is getting Cech in for VDS(another doubt) too much Chelsea even with their double coming up?
