Tuesday’s Scout Notes – Gameweek Thirty-Seven

It’s almost over. The last match of gameweek 37 saw a Carlo Tevez-inspired Man City hammer Stoke to leapfrog Arsenal into third place in the race for automatic Champions League qualification and bring further cheer to the blue half of Manchester, still basking in the glory of a weekend FA Cup win. Onwards, now, to what is being termed β€œSurvival Sunday” as the season is set to culminate in a nail-biting finish this upcoming weekend. Here’s the notes from last nightβ€˜s game…

Carlos Tevez
A stunning brace from the Argentine last night means he is now joint-top with Dimitar Berbatov on 21 league goals for the campaign and puts an interesting spin on this Sundayβ€˜s games. Both will surely be transferred-in by tens of thousands before the weekend, with the title of Premier League top scorer 2010/11 up for grabs.

With Man United facing Barcelona in the Champions League Final next weekend and the title already in the bag, Berbatov is strongly fancied to start at home to Blackpool, while Tevez heads to Bolton looking to fire City to that all-important third place. It will be far from straightforward, though; Roberto Mancini’s side have lost four of their last five on the road and the Trotters are particularly strong at home. Tevez is on both free-kicks and penalties, giving him a definite advantage; if United get a spot-kick, will Fergie let the Bulgarian step forward and get one over the β€œnoisy neighbours”?

Joe Hart
Hart is now assured of the Golden Glove award, having picked up his 17th clean sheet of the season last night but -as our Keeper of the Season poll shows- the lower-priced Ben Foster has proven to be the better Fantasy pick this term.

Mancini’s inconsistency of selection amongst the City back four is a real bone of contention with Fantasy Managers; Pablo Zabaleta is their top-scoring defender with just 96 points, a ridiculously low tally for a side that have almost one clean sheet every other game. Having taken part in Saturday’s FA Cup Final, Aleksander Kolarov was dropped to the bench last night, much to the chagrin/amusement of Fantasy Football Scout users, depending which side of the fence you sit on. A rest last night, however, may suggest he’ll take to the field this Sunday, as Mancini rotates at the back yet again.

Stoke on their Last Legs
The season’s end can’t come soon enough for Stoke now. Last night saw Robert Huth, Jermaine Pennant and Matt Etherington all miss out, despite the trio’s participation in the FA Cup Final. Having lost out on silverware to the very same opponents only three days earlier, it was a cruel twist of fate that saw Tony Pulis’ side travel to Eastlands so soon after their Wembley woe, with the crowd’s celebratory mood throughout a reminder of what could have been.

Wigan head to the Britannia looking for a win that may well save them from relegation and if such key personnel continue to be missing this Sunday, Roberto Martinez’s men may well be in with a better than usual chance of escape, given that Stoke haven’t been beaten at home since gameweek 20.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

            It may depend who the bookies are.

            I definitely remember doing an anytime goalscorer accumulator earlier in the season, 4/4 scored and it was left to Berba (who was the fifth, and last one). He didn't start, came on and didn't score. I'd assumed I lost the bet, but when I went online just to check the winnings came through, just the Berba part was voided.

            Guess it depends on which bookies you use then, because not long ago I had a goal scorer bet voided when the player didn't start. Can't really remember which bookie it was on though :/

              Bet365 do that sometimes: http://bit.ly/gOYddM

              It's not guarenteed though - definitely worth an email to check.

              Also they give you up to £200 free bet when you deposit your first amount, so if you're betting £100 on 4/1 you could double up to £200 on 4/1..

          Pretty sure of that. If you don't start, but come on that part becomes void. At least that's what I'm sure happened before, involved Berba that time too. Not 100% sure though.

          If you're going big on it, might be worth dropping them an email to check. Maybe certain bookies are a bit different with the rules.

        I can't see why he wouldn't start, SAF has to keep up appearances he's putting out a strong team so starting the leading goalscorer would be advisable. He won't start against Barcelona, he's got a golden boot to win, and if he's out of there this summer it's in SAF's and Berbatov's interests to add whatever value they can to him with this one game left.

    Morning all,

    So below is the team I have at the moment and the changes I was thinking about making.
    I know its going to cost me 8 points but I am trying to make up a 40 point gap.
    Its do or die time. Figure I might as well take a risk.Anyway if you could give me your thoughts on the below or perhaps other changes that i should look at that would be great.

    Hart,Robinson
    Coleman,Dawson,Johnson R,Ivanovic,Evatt
    Malouda,Adam,Maxi Rodriguez,Cleverley,N'Zogbia
    Campbell,Rodallega,Hernandez

    Was thinking the below.

    Malouda - VDV
    Rodallega - Berb
    Hernandez - Tevez

    Thanks

    I am ten points ahead in my mini league. My rival completely stuffed up this week, but had 25 points on the bench (and they all came on). So it's still very tight. What would anyone suggest doing with this team for the last game:
    Foster (Schwarzer) - I'll probably play Schwarzer since Birmingham crunch game unlikely to be goalless/
    R Johnson; Foley; Baines (Luiz and Djorou - both unlikely to play)
    Ohara Adam Lamps VDV Silva
    RVP; Odem; Sturridge

    I was thinking Silva to NZog. But now that City is fighting for third, they do actually have some insentive to play against Bolton.
    Any other ideas. What would anyone change?

    I have to beat 39th in the world to stay in FFS H2H 4. And then hope someone else loses.

    He already has Tevez and O'Hara, the two I was contemplating this week. Can't ignore Tevez but makes no sense to get O'Hara now if I need to beat him.

    Having said that I have doubts over so many players this week: Huth, Odem, VDV and Aleksander the Great Big Waste of Skin.

    Could be a forlorn attempt at victory, but I'll die trying.

    Was 120 ahead in my mini league at the start of the GW.Now down to 60. I had an awful week and second place had a great one.

    My team not looking great for this week either.

    Surely it’s unlikely he can gain another 60 points on me? Do i stick with my team or lose some points and get a few of his big players in for cover(Tevez, Odemwingie, VDV, Adam).

    Also i only got 2 points in defence this week and unlikely to get much better next week with none of them playing. Is it worth getting defenders in at this stage though? surely not.

    My team

    Jaskelinen (don’t ask)
    Coleman, Evra, Djouro, Luiz, Williamson
    Lamps, Malouda, Kuyt, Silva, Barton
    RVP, Hernandez, Caroll

      Massive ask. You need an absolute stormer, and him to have a stinker, obviously.

      Saying that I was 34 points behind in my mini-league before the start of last week, now I'm only 1 behind. So big changes can happen. But 49 in one week would be pretty amazing to overcome.

    As the season concludes, I've really enjoyed my first season playing this game, but is my approach of no transfers hits the "wrong" one or is my current score/rank OK for a debut season?

    Basically hits v no hits debate!

    Thanks in advance.

      You really needed a few hits in that lot. Getting the obvious ones right would have covered the hits easily.

      Well I've taken loads of hits this season and I'm a higher rank than you. It all depends on the hits. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

      Just like everything else in this game.

      A3 Love Rat, I can't believe you went through the season without a single hit. Surely there was one occasion where it was worth it...

      Your biggest problem was not the reluctance to take hits. From what I can see from your Transfer History is too much farting about changing your Goalkeeper.

      It's all very relative... sometimes they pay off sometimes they don't.. some players take hits and do good and some players don't and do better πŸ˜€ I only take hits when I can't field 11 or when there's a dgw and thus a bigger chance for the hit to come good.

      In general I would say that you should plan better, defender rotation and midfielder/striker roation, this should keep you from wanting to make a bunch of transfers every week.

      Never be afraid to take the odd hit. You can structure your team better, raise team value and they usually pay off in double weeks. I'm having a good season and had a great season last year with the same tactics. I never make more than one hit a week though unless your team is in dire straights.

        Was gonna get rid but I've just got a niggling doubt that he'll score. Huge insentive for Blackpool, fighting to stay up. And huge insentive for Adam to up his own value before transfer season. Last game in blackpool shirt etc.

    A.Young > Modric
    Lampard > Modric

    Yes, I am keen on Modric, especially if VDV is out.
