The ScoutCast – Episode 57 – Bottom Heavy

22 September 2011 1271 comments

Granville

While the title alludes to a debate on the merits of Kevin Campbell and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, it is instead a new podcast spilling with words on the Fantasy Football craze that’s taken the nation by storm – buy cheap at the back, buy big up front.

It’s working, in fact it’s working rather too well. Can it continue? Mark and I lay the subject down, cut it open and sift through the giblets to offer our post mortem. Messy stuff.

Elsewhere, the minutes are filled with more discussion on the fixtures vs form argument, with the usual regulars scattered liberally.

    Yea Tim Howard and company don't know what a clean sheet is. Stoke was solid last year at home.. but they seem unorganized back there this year. It's a really horrible choice. I think I'll flip a coin as Cornholi0 suggests.

    Aguero lokes like he might get a brace every time he starts! Even when he comes on as a sub, he looks dangerous.
    
    As indespensible as Rooney imho, even if he is a slight rotation risk.

Any news on bent?

Was all set to transfer out t.cahill but with him playing up front and city not exactly solid at the back think he may grab some points, so thinking of transferring bent out…

Thoughts on the best replacement for the next two weeks only(WC’ing after GW7)

a) Adebayor (wig, ARS)
b) Dzeko (EVE, bla)
c) Zamora (wba, QPR)
d) other (max 10.5m)

other strikers are suarez and RVP

Thanks

watched the full, unusually actioned packed (for a 0-0), 120 mins of the chelsea fulham game.
pros: romeu, lampard's through-balls (should probably have had 2 assists and 1 assist of an assist), and a little guy called frei for fulham was arguably MOTM.
cons: kalou OMG HE WAS SHIT!, malouda's finishing ughr! lampard's tackling (expect a lot of yellows this season). lukaku. he's only 18 but it may be wise to search out the receipt. the black carroll?
luiz starting as the left of the two centre backs suggests ivanovic is fine for another match (although after alex was sent off luiz played 75mins alongside terry.
turnbull made an incredible save to spare terry an OG.

  All the Chelsea fans on twitter are jizzing themselves about Romeu.
  
  Kalou is beyond hopeless. Staggering that he's been at the club for so long, can't believe it's taken people so long to realise he's dross.

        Yeah, we should send him on at the end of games already won, with the sole instruction of giving the ball away as much as possible!

    Being fair to Chelsea, mceachran wasn't that bad. Got good control, a few tricks and a reasonable passing range.
    
    Still not a patch on cleverley.... 😉

      mceachran did well, a combination of sturridge and alex stopped him playing the full 90 mins and getting his first goal. he's potentially a star, streets ahead of cleverley at the same age

    he got away with 2 almost horror moments. firstly he was running back and he does technically trip a fulham player in the area but looked like a harmless tangle of legs where both players are just running as opposed to one challenging.
    also played a really poor pass across the defence which was cut out by dembele but then stormed back and won the ball back. worrying that he had to but good that he did.

  and ruiz's penalty was definitely not a goal.
  lampard's penalty looks like a great save form the TV angle but the angle from directly in front shows it was a poor penalty, bad height and a good 2 yards from the corner

      that's what i thought from the normal TV angle, especially as he powered the shot so much but the front-on replay was far less flattering

  lampard’s tackling (expect a lot of yellows this season)
  
  Already 'flooding' in.
  Lamps is one of 4 players to make it to the platform from which one might access the suspension tightrope, and with his hefty frame (and recent dodgy tackling), I don't hold up much hope for his balance...
