The ScoutCast – Episode 51 – Lolarov

The penultimate Podcast broadcast of the season is dedicated to one of its most controversial Fantasy figures and features a Mark vs Granville barney of reasonable proportions.

A long-term apologist for the Aleksandar Kolarov’s lack of attacking end product (there’s no excuse for his defending), I find myself under a tirade of predictable flack as Granville dares to use common sense against my rock solid statistical reasoning. The very idea.

Anyone who has personally been angered/abused/mildly upset by Kolarov this season should certainly listen in and blame me 100% for your pain. If that isn’t enough to tempt you then you can also eavesdrop on the usual array of regulars, and witness the mini-league banter as the gap between Granville and myself narrows to just nine points. Nine points. Just nine.

Nine.

        Those are the different attacking players in my and my rivals teams. I was wondering which combination folks thought was stronger.

    Chatter on twitter is that England have announced a press conference for 11pm tonight. Naturally, the rumour mongers are claiming that Capello has resigned, been sacked or terminated his contract by 'mutual consent' etc...

        That's why it's likely either:

        A) Bullshit

        or

        B) Announcing some major news, that couldn't wait until the morning.

        I'm backing A, big time.

                    No, it doesn't mean anything. It's a word that been created to describe the act of being a wind up merchant.

                    Calling a post a 'WUM' is actively calling it the wrong thing, there's a difference.

                    I'd personally rather that no one ever uses the word, in any context, but TommyK seems to absolutely love it.

    Odemwingie is definitely the reason for my slip up in ranking!

    Originally I didn't think I'd ever had him this season, but just checked my transfer history. I got him in my GW26 wildcard team, only to get rid in GW28. Now that week he only scored 1 point, and I transferred him out for Rooney, who got 18 points as it was a double. I also rose to a rank of 5,699.

    But ever since I got rid, he has scored 4 or more every week, and my rank is now a lowly 16,875.

    So yeah, I blame 'Wingie for everything that has gone wrong this season.

    Ok, tactical transfers time to close out my cash league. Currently got a 14 point lead over my rival who has Lampard, so I'll be taking a 4 point hit to bring Lampard and N'Zogbia in for Nani and VDV (will then captain Lamps).

    Question then is do I play Luiz and Kolarov as my rival has them and will play them both I would think, or bench one in favour of Roger Johnson with a home game against a Fulham side already on their holidays? The safe play is to match his team, but what would you do?

            Yeah, I dodged a bullet with Balotelli. If Dzeko hadn't of scored that goal against Blackburn I'm 80% certain I'd of got Balotelli in.

Think Luiz will start, no point in dropping his confidence and dropping him when Chelsea have nothing to play for anyway. Hughes must be a retard if he doesn't play Zamora, whenever he plays, Fulham actually seem to play well and Silva will 100% start imo.

        Of your starting 11 I'd say Nani closest to the drop. Him to Lamps rather than losing VDV I reckon.

      he's the most in form striker in the world. of course he'll play. don't let scoring in just one of his last 7 games with no assists in those 7 games let you think otherwise

      That's probably not a bad transfer. I don't see Spurs getting much vs Liverpool.

      But I'm sure SAF will want to give Blackburn a pasting after the way they treated Sam.

        I doubt that will stop Man Utd.

        They should be able to beat Blackburn convincingly imo, 2-0 I reckon.

      Can't wait until next season now though. First half of the season is so much better imo.

        yeah the season is long and racks your brain....but there is nothing like that rush as seeing a (risky) transfer, (C) pick or saving of a transfer pay off!

        yes, im addicted! 🙂
