The ScoutCast – Episode 66 – Vorm

15 December 2011 1884 comments

Granville

The impossible has happened. After five long years, Michel Vorm delivered my first penalty save of my Fantasy Football management career. There could be no question – this latest episode had to be dedicated to Swansea’s Dutch stopper.

Ironically, it follows last week’s outing that found me lamenting my cursed luck. Vorm answered my prayer (or moans – Mark) – the monkey is finally off my back, and I can hardly contain my joy during this week’s session.

Elsewhere, the regulars are scattered around discussing the dubious merits of Jonny Evans, talk a hamstrung Van der Vaart, the shifting goalposts of the Fantasy Island Risk and Mark’s quest to win his own Cup competition. The selfish bugger.

Come get some here.

Alternatively, stream away on the handy player below.

    They have the best centre midfield in the league. If they're going to pay Lamps' £150k a week wages they 'd be better off spending that on Adebayor or another striker.

  In all seriousness though, the idea of him taking Parkers or Modric's place with Sandro lurking is absolutely laughable. Unless they are selling Modric of course.

    No-one knows the long-term implications of VdV's hamstring yet. Harry would regard himself as thin in midfield if Vdv happened to be out at the same time as another mid for any sustained period.
    
    As I said, the wages would be in line with the current structure. He's very settled in London, and he sees it as the right time for a move.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/poll/2011/dec/15/greatest-premier-league-goal-ever-poll

So which goal did you lot vote for? Took some time to go through all 50 but I think Yeboah v Wimbledon is my favourite. Le Tissier v Blackburn is sensational too, and the Ronaldo freekick v Portsmouth is almost too perfect to be true.

    For me the Rooney goal against Newcastle beats the overhead kick, but I guess it's because I'm a bit of a sucker for a great volley and a hard shot. A solo run can never top a screamer like that for me. All personal opinions of course.

  Bergkamp against Newcastle was pretty bloody special, as was Le Tissier against us.
  No goal beats Albert's lob over Schmiechel for pure joy though 🙂

    I really think the other Le Tissier goal is better. The one against Newcastle is better for improvisation but the other is just a demonstration of him doing what he wants, perfectly.
    
    I actually love the Albert lob too, it's one of the best ones. Such a smart goal.

        Anyway, the Cantona goal is of course good too. Would put it in the top half of the list!

Following on from posts made by Corrigan et al regarding ubers - uber cheap defenders rotated throughout the season - and showing the fixture list was pretty good if you got the right combination of defenders - I cooked up a team to demonstrate what you could get with the strategy. This could be wildcarded after the DGW, it's not necessarily optimal now. Some defenders could be improved if you have more money than me.

Vorm Cerny
Simpson Evans Shotton Caulker McAuley
Nani Silva Bale Mata Gower
RVP Rooney Sturridge

I need no make my team tonight ideally as as I am the lash 2moro afternoon and am getting a train home on saturday. I used by FT early but have 2.9M smackers in the bank.

Vorm

Or keep as it is and rely on Simpson if Drenthe fails to show up.
