Season Predictions – The View From The Scouts

12 August 2011 2184 comments

Andy

We’re almost there. After three months, countless RMT’s (That’s Rate-My-Team for our new readers), a whole host of injury scares and the regular gamut of transfer talk, the season is now just hours away.

This means just one thing- it’s time for a host of the Fantasy Football Scout team to start off one last debate by sticking our necks on the line with predictions for the year to come. As evidenced by last year, our choices can range from the sublime to the ridiculous – let’s see how the cards fall for 2011/12…

I, Andy, kick things off by singling out teams and players I am not perhaps known for endorsing. Towing the party line, then, I’ve done everything I can to make my predictions as impartial as possible. Not believe me? Look- no Fernando Torres…

  why in the hell have you got rodders on the bench when his at home against a poor norwich. i see goals in that match.
  
  The only other problem is your forward line, you might struggle to get a big hitter in with ease if you got no money in the bank.

    Jagielka will be benched for the first game, no biggie, he rotates really well with Agger.
    
    I'll eventually downgrade Agger to Jose Enrique and upgrade Dzeko to Suarez. JUst fancy Dzeko against Swansea.

Demi: Im going for Carroll and not risking Suarez then ill make the switcheroo probably week 3 as i think Carroll might be quite affective against Arsenal too.

  Cheers Goose. My only conundrum is Carroll or Suarez now, so it will haunt me till the deadline. Not to keen on using a transfer to get Suarez in though, if i start with Carroll.
  
  Kenny says he's training, so i might just risk it and start with him.

I have Holt and Hoolahan, should I get rid of one, if so who for, and why? Ideally I don't want to get rid of Holt (Or either for that matter, but doubling up on Norwich is poor form). So who to replace Hoolahan with, I already have Sinclair and Moses. Could stretch the budget to 6m if need be.

  Today and tomorrow morning are going to be the worst two days of the season, a lot of new players to the game, and a lot of them will drop out by GW5. So things will calm down, tomorrow afternoon whilst the games are on will be mental, I'll be in the chatroom rather than on the posts.

      Ermmm, crap, I forgot about that. Was busy all day yesterday and in about half hour I have mates coming round. Might have to start scoring GW2. In fact I will. Or maybe GW3.
      
      I'll let you know via e-mail at some point next week. Sorry.

  Not Ramsey, but I am keeping my ear close to the ground on Suarez. If there is even an indication of him playing, he will be straight in my team.

Depleted side, recent injury scare, poor fixtures and champions league distractions.

I would personally hold off until gwk4.

  Don't like the prospect of having to play Norwich and Blackburn defenders often as I expect these to have the leakiest defences in the league. Newcastle didn't have a great defence last season and it looks to have been weakened this season too. I wouldn't know who you could downgrade in attack or midfield though. :S
  
  Perhaps you could get a Sunderland/Stoke defender to rotate with Simpson instead of Salgado?

what way does this look lads?

Given (Ruddy)
Kompany - Hughes - Gabbidon (Simpson,Bardsley)
Lampard - Silva - Moses - Taarabt (Dyer)
Rooney - RVP - Holt

to many big hitters? Rooney,RVP & Lampard are all £12mil but then again when fit they will always plat all 3 are on pen's and all are good captain options, Holt & Taarabt also on Spotkicks and Moses/Silva are in cuz of there fixtures. Bardsley will become Enrique when he start playing

I wrote on the last post about the comments section and how the number of posts would dilute the usefulness of this site. Apparently that comment died a quick death when a new article arrived.

The main question was about Matthew Upson's move to Stoke. I know it's not an immediate issue but just wanted to know whether there was anyone with a view regarding his situation and starting potential. After their games ease up, he may be a bargain defender at 4.5m.

Taarabt or Sinclair?

And one midfielder for 5.5m or under that isn't Moses?

  Hell no! Enrique just transferred. At best, he will get a debut. But I would be surprised to see him in the substitutions list. Don't get me wrong he was bought to be a starter but you don't put him in the starting XI a few days after you buy him... Aurelio and Kelly are likely to play for GW1. Either way I still have Enrique on my team. I would play someone else just to be safe.
