The ScoutCast half century arrives – leaving us just 245 episodes behind the adventures of Foggy, Compo and Clegg. I’m not sure we’ll get there but Mark seems hell-bent.

Fifty episodes down the line and little has changed. Are we are more polished broadcasting duo? Doubtful. The back-biting and banter remains and appears more pointed than normal as we reach the season climax. Seventy points ahead when this podcast was recorded, my lead has since been dented by Rafael Van der Vaart’s brace and Samir Nasri’s similar revival from Fantasy slumber. Bullish from last night’s returns, Mark has been gleefully informing me that I’m “in trouble” all day. I’m not convinced.

Indeed, you can sense my confidence throughout this pre-North London derby recording, an episode that includes all the usual regular ingredients, spiced up by the definition of a new Fantasy term. I spent about 7 minutes and 31 seconds of the podcast explaining to Mark exactly what an “Undifferential” was; I still don’t think it sunk in. Have a listen yourselves – I’m pretty sure Mark is just on the blink.

    Thinking about bringing in Zamora or Etherington.
    Thing is, over the past 4 seasons Zamoras stats aren't really that great...
    Is he even that good? A lot of people on here seem to think he is...

      I'm planning to bring them both in, for Nasri and Welbeck. I'll keep Ethers for a bit, probably sell Zamora soon.

      Zamora used to be shite, now he's alright...

    http://www.ratemyteam.co.uk has just been updated. We've been working on adding more options on the site, so now we have a blank canvas/wildcard page where you can tinker to your heart's content. (can work out best goalkeeper combos or striker partnerships e.t.c.)

    We've also added filters on the best players 'til end of the season page, so you can look at, say, "just midfielders under 6m". http://ratemyteam.co.uk/bestlongterm.php

    And added a gameweek filter on the 'who to captain' page so you can see who might be good captain material in future weeks. http://ratemyteam.co.uk/bestofweek.php

    We've tried to make the numbers as accurate as possible; they haven't yet been properly checked to the extent we would normally but we'll make sure they're tip-top by tomorrow evening. Cheers 🙂

      Can you tell us how you work out the numbers? Good design, the site works well but unless we know what the predictions are based on, it's not as useful as it could be.

        Basically, there's a lot of statistical analysis and research going into every number. So for example, we have to estimate how likely each player is to play, how many goals we expect them to score in each match, how many assists, bonus points, yellow card probabilities, clean sheet probabilities saves e.t.c. All of these elements are fitted to statistical models that take into account the player's history, position, club and many more. So for example with our yellow card model, defensive midfielders are more likely to be booked than attacking midfielders, away teams are likely to get more yellows than home teams e.t.c. Basically, there's a heck of a lot that goes into our models and I'm sorry I can't explain it all now. Sorry that's taken me ages to write- I hope that helps. 🙂

          Interesting stuff, at the end of the season you should post your predicted scores compared with the actual scores. Like Mark Lawrenson.

          If he did come back, how do you think Dalglish would accomodate him?

          I can't see Meireles on the left flank as a long-term option but with Carroll and Suarez up top looks like it has to be a 4-4-2, maybe a 4-3-3 with Kuyt on the right of the three and Suarez drifting occasionally onto the left, not sure about that though.

            I think if we had a player like aqua in the middle then suarez and kuyt either side of carroll would be ideal. Though he'd find it hard to force his way into the midfield atm, would give us good tactical options though which we don't really have atm.

Was thinking about Hangeland, Etherington or Walters and Zamora but not sure who to take out to make it worthwhile. Next week and the week after I will be working to bring in Spurs and Man City players too e.g. Kolorov, VDV etc.

          mmm....they have a number for points this gameweek and then points in rest of the season, ethers is hugely favored in both.
          i think ethers is more solid choice, but i feel walters has the ability to go off in 3 matches, which is what i intend to have them both

                My thoughts were that Walters might not have been as nailed on to play 90 minutes both matches as Etherington especially with Carew coming back. I've had a look at it and I think we've been a tiny bit stingy with Walter's expected minutes and expected goals this gameweek so he's had a boost. I agree that Etherington is safer and being on penalties is a big advantage. But, if you're looking for a different option, Walters could be a great option. Hope that helps!

                  thanks mate, it would be cruel to bench the lad after scoring what is it, 5 goals in 4 matches or something like that?
                  anyways, my decision is tough, not clear what to do actually!

                Also, I suppose the good thing about the riskier option is that if he plays 90 in both and plays well, he becomes a better prospect and if, in the chance his prospects go down, say he gets dropped, then you can think about getting rid of him after this week. Though, personally, I prefer my cheaper players to be better long-term options than short.

                  yea I feel you, im starting to doubt, I don't follow Stoke but it seems that even when Carew was healthy Walters was still playing no? was his position changed perhaps?

                    He has played on the wing but think Etherington and Pennant have those positions nailed at the moment. Think he's very likely to start the first match and start it up-front, but suppose they lose and Carew's knocking at the door- things could change (not too likely but it's a possibility). I'll hopefully look into this a bit more tomorrow- time for bed now! See you!
