The ScoutCast – Episode 59 – Tongue Twister

Back after our own international break, I bundle Mark into the studio for another podcast and slap him around the face with my Wildcard.

Rusty after a week of absence, we’re forced to get our tongues contorted around a variety of team names, even more baffling than Mark’s unshakable faith in Victor Moses. Yes, indeed, Wigan’s most unfortunate Fantasy flop gets another airing, with Mark mercilessly banishing the Latics to the Championship – surely the only solution to his blind spot.

    18/1 on Torres top goalscorer?

    He's a bit behind but Chelsea are creating loads of chances. Worth a quid.

      He looked great last night and even against United and Swansea, if he hadn't missed that chance against united and gotten a stupid red he'd have a lot more goals by now. He's a quality player in fairness

    current team

    Given (vorm)
    Enrique-RTaylor-Bosingwa (Simpson Briggs)
    Silva-Lampard-Nani-Cabaye (Dyer)
    Rooney-Dzeko-Sturridge

    Plan for GW10 was to transfer VDV/Aguero/5.1m mid in for Lampard/Dzeko/cabaye for a 4pt hit but a bit concerned about going into GW9 without one of Suarez / RVP, so my question is this:

    Is it worth

    a) transferring in Suarez/Bannan in for Dzeko/Cabaye this weekend then carrying out the Aguero/VDV move (replacing Lampard and Suarez) next week (with 4pt hit in each week), or
    b) just stick this week and go with the original plan for GW10?

    I'd probably captain Suarez at the weekend so it could pay off

    Posted something similar before in a different article but some more opinions would be awesome.
    a) Ade/Vdv
    b) Suarez/Larsson
    Only thing holding me back from definitely picking a) is Suarez's next 3 fixtures, with captaincy he could be all the difference

      Save them till next week bring shawcross in then your team is more than good enough this week arsenal have Chelsea next week so don't think its wise doing Arteta to Ramsey plus very sideways move will also give you time to access whether Simpson is still going to hold his place down if he does Newcastle will keep more clean sheets than Norwich so you would regret taking him out for tierney

    My dear friends and co-conspirators:

    Who do you think will score more this weekend, VdV or Nani?

    I have Ade, Saurez and RvP up top. Shipping out Nani will leave me with no ManU Cover. I can get Nani back in the next week or two, without loss in $$$’s. I am deperately trying to make ground on my mini-league.

    My current mid and front are:

    Silva Nani Petrov Arteta Moses

      I'd rather save the transfer for this week, Nani facing Clichy and I back him to do some damage..

      Your lack of Chelsea cover worries me though, and I dont see Arteta as a keeper.. Maybe downgrade one of your strikers to Sturridge in nearest future, and upgrade Arteta?

                This breaks my heart. Still plenty of time to turn it around.

                Have faith in Martinez!

          btw - I'm backing Mo2e2 for 10 points over the next 5 weeks. Mark my words.

    What do people think is the best move this week with one transfer left?

    A: Mata - VDV
    B: Barton - Ramsey
    C: Both with 4 point hit

    Team right now:

    Krul (Vorm)
    Simpson/Bosingwa/Enrique (De Laet/Woodgate)
    Mata/Silva/Nani/Barton (Moses)
    Suarez/RVP/Best

    Cheers!

      B.
      Barton with awful fixtures, Ramsey might not get 90 every game but he's bound to score decent points over next 8-10 GWs

    Got 2 free transfers. Really wanna do Nani and Bosingwa - > Gerrard and Hutton.
    Got a feeling Nani might get benched again, and Chelsea really cant keep a clean sheat. Good or bad transfers? Got Rooney for United cover.

      I like it. I'm shipping A Cole and Nani this week. Gerrard should return something with the possibility of a big score

      Nani wont be benched. We will keep a clean sheet against QPR.

    Who is the better Liverpool option, Gerrard or Suarez? I'd like both but I can't because of my low team value

      Gerrard.
