The ScoutCast – Episode 67 – Driving home for Christmas

23 December 2011 2934 comments

Mark

Driving home for Christmas, we present you with the festive ScoutCast. Obviously only for those without passengers – we wouldn’t want to inflict this on unsuspecting souls.

A stocking brimming with the usual merriment, the episode comes with the annual added bonus of hearing myself and Mark exchanging “ironic” gifts as an act of “goodwill” one more.

Along the way we deliberate the Robin Van Persie helpline, the revolving doors being worked by Gareth Bale and Rafael Van der Vaart and the perils of double gameweek investment.

Merry Christmas from the ScoutCast!

Come pull your Christmas cracker here.

same as before with “no-clones” and the above being the only available players.

Silva > Walters
Adebayor > Rooney

I think Rooney is a must have in the next 4 GW's. Ade has tough game and then leaves for African Cup. Walters has great fixtures.

Thoughts?

My team for this GW, any suggestions? (a bit concerned about injuries in my defence, almost did Richards to Kompany for a 4pt hit, but resisted...)

Vorm
Jones/Evans J/Enrique
Bale/Etherington/Nani/Silva
Sturridge/RVP/Ade

Schwarzer/Larsson/Richards/N Taylor

ok last repost. just wanted to get a few more opinions on this before i'm off to bed.

vorm (krul)
enrique, evans, raylor, (naylor, simpson)
nani, silva, ramsey, vdv (gower)
rooney, ade, morison

took a 4 point hit to bring in nani, morison, evans for eagles, dzeko, jones.

obviously, i need to get rid of vdv so which is a better option?

A) VDV –> bale now for total 8 point hit; then next week do something with ramsey or raylor
B) VDV –> bale next week and do something with ramsey or raylor for another 4 pt hit

      I guess you will need massive re-structuring to get RVP but that is not worth it with all the points hit you have to take. Rooney is back in form now. Dzeko is too much of a rotation risk. In that case maybe option A

  You have a great team value so could probably afford to do something like Silva & McAuley -> Baines & Drenthe for the DGW and up until you wildcard? They are the only EVE players worth looking at imo.

    It's a toss up between Rooney, RVP and Nani for the (c) and (vc) this week. The problem with Nani and Rooney is that MUN can win big without them scoring well. The same cannot be said about ARS. I think both will win by 2-3 goals.

    I had Jones (insert embarrased face). Rushed through my 2 freebies as wouldn't have been able to after Rooney rose/Suarez fell. Then P Jones' broken face turned out not to be so broken 🙁
    
    Bale is top of my list. Sturridge is great value - may get him for Rooney in GW20. Vorm has poor fixtures and Enrique is no longer cheap.

      Good answers. I'm a little bit worried about not having Rooney but it wasn't worth shuttling everything aroun to get him. You'll be on the pig's back if he does go crazy.

        Yeah, I ummed and ahhhed over Rooney for a while. In retrospect it probably wasn't the % play - should have kept Jones and just done Brown -> JEvans. That said, Jones is still a doubt imo for the BD match, plus Rooney has started to look a bigger goal threat of late and has the potential to score massive in the next 2. Time will tell I guess. Go Pig!!!

        I would doubt that very much. He has played 90 mins every single game and is pivotal to their attack (Jones cannot play with Crouch). He is the one player I'm worried about not having this week.

      Mata is a home lad, and probably on penalties.
      
      Option A. DVD and Naylor to Caulker and Mata
      Option B: No hit and go with someone cheaper. But that 0,1 lost will go against me, whole season. Why I waited??????????

        Drog will be on pens.
        
        Honestly, I think Walters will outscore Mata comfortably over the next 2 GWs, and he is your man. That 0.1m you missed is a blessing in disguise. It also gives you enough to then do Studge -> Adebayor for the DGW.

Vorm
Kompany, BAE, Evans
Drenthe, Silva, Bale, Nani
RVP, Sturridge, Adebayor

Do I have the correct line up? I have a feeling I should play Caulker, but what do you guys think?
