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.

    2nd transfer done, opted for vidic over baines, will probably get baines in gwk16 but expect vidic to outscore him over the next 2 gwks and if other pressing transfers come up id rather have vidic than baines longterm

    leaves me with

    vorm,
    wilkinson, enrique, vidic
    vdv, bale, gower, sessegnon
    RVP, aguero, adebayor

    ruddy, moses, simpson, caulker

      Anything you do pretty much comes off mate so I'd say you're looking good for this week. Who you thinking of for the Band - got to be either Ade or RVP I would imagine.

        think ill opt for rvp, was going to go ade but with arsenal there are less players likely to nick his BPs, if rvp scores hes 90% likely to get all 3 whereas adebayor could score this weekend and be outdone by bale vdv etc

      I think I'm leaning more towards a QPR striker at this moment. Morison is a good option but surely not away to Man City?

      I feel QPR will score against WBA, as they have been scoring a few goals lately so either Helguson or Mackie I think for this GW.

      Thanks everyone.

    Today is a joyous day.

    For today is the day that I finally get rid of DeLaet.

    My defence currently reads as Jones/Brown/Simpson/Wilkinson/(Space for new Def)

    I have a big fat 4.4 in the bank so I could make the jump for Baines with a little change left over. Sweet as.

    Or…………..

    Do I go for a punt and slap Vidic in and Double up on the Utd defence. Villa away and the home game with Wolves – decent fixtures to gain some points.

    Thoughts?

          Sure but Im not sure it is worth the extra unnecessary transfer for that 1 match. He should do well against Stoke and you never know against arsenal, he always offers a good attacking threat and Arsenals defense isn't the best.

            Valid points.

            I should say that I have Nani in my squad as well so I would have three Utd players, if I went with Vidic so I don’t know whether that should sway my choice or not….

I know a lot of people are gonna say Jones to Vidic? blah blah blah but it's a free so I won't lose any points and surely Vidic will get more over the season.

                    ryan ive never really invested in defence much in the past but just feel with rotation over xmas that it may be worth having a stronger defnce gauranteed to play and then more of the main players from mid-table teams, ba, larsson, ohara etc

    Did Rooney -> Adebayor. Got 1 freebie and 3.8 in bank.

    I want to do Wilkinson -> Baines, but also need to replace VDV with Bale if VDV is confirmed not ready to play.

    Basically:
    1) If VDV is confirmed not ready, do VDV -> Bale and drop the Wilkinson -> Baines transfer.

    2) Do Wilkinson -> Baines no matter what, and be prepared to take a hit on the VDV -> Bale transfer if he is confirmed not to play.

    a) Ben Arfa

      Ben Arfa could work but I think Ba would be enough, and MGP isn't playing high up enough on the pitch this season I don't think.

        He tends to score in bursts though and I just wonder if this might be his time. Think O'Hara is a lot safer though.

        Both BA's because 1 plays out of position and the other takes pens, but point taken.

      Had similar problems Ryan. Begovic dropped and Van der Vaart and Rodwell injured. Shay is my other keeper but Villa defence is pourous at the minute. Took the hit for 12 points and got rid of those 3 and Ramires for Vorm, Bale, Adam and Moses. Charlie's starting to hit a bit of form. Even if Van der Vaart plays he's not 100%. Why won't Drenthe play, looks likely that he will?

      Had too many misses for injured or rested players lately. Have Silva and reckon he has to be rested if City are to have any CL chance midweek. But better to name him and if he doesn't play a lesser gifted sub will. I'm languishing about 418K so don't think the star prize is under threat!

      Here's my team and subs for this week, 2.4 m in the bank -

      Vorm

      Jones, Richards, Vermaelen

      Adam, Silva, Bale (v), Moses

      Long, Van Persie (c), Sturridge

      Given, Ramsey, Simpson, Tierney.

    Can I assume we're not going to know if VDV plays until he plays, if you know what I mean? Spurs medics aiming for the Stoke game so looks to me he's more likely out than in at the mo..

      I'd say there is a 40% chance he will play
