Back in blighty, I make a long-awaited return to the podcast studio, armed with a barrel full of “miffeds”. Top of list – what happened last week? I turn my back and Mark goes and finds himself a new co-host. Luckily, the concept of Mark sharing the ScoutCast airwaves with renowned football expert was quickly frowned upon by the masses, paving the way for my jubilant return.

I say jubilant, the fact is that Mark established a decent mini-league lead in my absence, giving me a few jibes to duck in between moans. Such banter is sprinkled around the ScoutCast regulars, as we turn our backs of the high-brow discussion of last week’s outing, to plunge the depths of Fantasy football nonsense.

        He's OOP, nailed on. plays well most games, adds assists, decent amount of goals/bonus's and on penos.

        I would get rid of brunt first, possibly for allen,dyer,eagles,pilkington etc, would free a few 0.1s for you

        But if you're only talking only about walters I would suggest Larsson.

        up to you mate .

          I agree regarding brunt. I have tried ample of times to transfer him but couldn't make myself. I have had a look at his fixtures and it looks good. So I may as well give him one more shot.. Plus, he's on pens too..

            That's tough, you'll defo play silver/mata right? So it's a case of 2/3 from the rest. 2 are away from home and the other is not certain to play. At a push i'd play drenthe and sinclair. I like walters but I'd only bench on the basis that I think Everton are coming into a bit of form(2 wins in a row!!) and blackburn have none. so walters as your first sub I reckon.

          No, I'm also looking at Young/Nani next week. Hoping Nani might fire a blank this week and drop to 9.9m by next week.

          Young used to score in bursts when at Villa. Frustrating player though. Short fuse and collects the odd yellow. I had some luck with him last year when he scored nothing and then I bought him and he surprised me with a 18pt haul if I recall.

          I bought him earlier this year after his 23pts. Did nothing for me.

          Nice differential that could clean up gw18/19 vs Wigan/Black.If there is one player that's Due, its him.

          ...and Rooney of course.

            Ah cool, good to hear someone else is considering him 🙂

            I have done the exact same thing as you in regard to having him last season for the 18 point haul.
            I traded him in after the 23 pointer and then got nothing!
            Also seemed to have traded in Nani everytime he's done well, and then done nothing!

        If he plays he's a points hogging machine and could well score heavily against Bolton's defence. I couldnt bear to see him play having sold him for Bale and then for Bale to get back to his usual 2/3pters most weeks.

              I get where you're coming from but you knew that when you got 3 spurs in. There fixtures are good after that. There will be other transfers you need to make in the coming weeks. Unless Defoe starts ahead of a fit VDV or you hear VDV is out long term I just don't see value in it.

              Of course i could be wrong and Theo could score and assist with a MOTM performance so down to you.

      Nice team. Hope you have a decent bench if VDV/Drenthe don't show up - I'd get Drenthe out TBH.

          Just saw your bench. Would play Naylor over Brown, btw.

          Fair enough, save your FTs. Not too many good options in the midpark at the moment except bale & VDV.

    So my team for this GW, after deciding to save my WC:

    Vorm
    JE Brown ShawX
    VDV Silva Bale (VC) Sinclair
    RVP Studge Helguson (C)
    Subs – Given Moses Simpson Wilko
    0 FT 5.0 Bank WC available

    Any of these transfers worth 4/8/12 pt hits?

    1) Unfit VDV > Mata (just cos I see this as the comeback week for Chelsea & Mata will be way too much for the Newcastle defence)
    2) Studge > Ade (both in good form but Ade with better fixture)
    3) ShawX > Baines (tricky but Baines back in form is always tempting)

            If Edinburgh zoo introduced a new species everytime Hearts failed in Europe they'd have some collection of animals thats for sure.

    Considerin Sessegnon to Ohara.. i know it seems illogical considerin Sessegnon's next 2 fixtures but i find myself in a unique position.. if i save my transfer and keep sess i'll have 14 outfield players all with a strong case of startin next week.. so i'll prob have to waste my transfer next week.. and start sessegnon.. if i get rid of sess.. i can start ohara this week and benching him next week and start Pilkington who i would've been forced to bench next week.. so considerin the opportunity cost.. which has more points potential over next 2 weeks..
    Sessegnon VS wol BLA
    or
    OHara vs SUN
    Pilkington vs NEW
