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.

      If you're not going to play Sinclair at home vs QPR of all teams, when are you going to play him?

      I think (not certain) Villa have Collins back in defence which should be a huge boost as they know how to deal with route one football.

      Rest of the team looks decent.

        Hard to say, but I already got rid id Silva for Nani as I've seen his influence starting to wane and Nani's clearly increasing.

        I guess a heap will get rid of Ade after the dgw.

        RVPs streak will end, sometime.

        Swansea's drem will start to come apart as the season matures and Vorm will start to get spanked too often.

        Evans... Short term +.

        Who knows what will happen with Ba and Jan transfer window.

        I reckon it'll get mixed up a bit soon. Sfter all after a bit of a flash everyone seems to be Shotton, McAuley, Walters, Sturridge etc.

        He's probably as good a pick but a couple of my rivals have him and besides I think if Huth gets the game time (likely) then he'll score more.

    plan is i have 3 transfers in teh next 3 weeks and since im very happy with my team right now i'll concentrate on teh dgw:
    -this week: save transfer
    -next week: silva>>> parker/sandro/modric
    -dgw: shawx, enrique>>> baines jags
    securing 6 dgw player without a single hit and then immediatly WC
    the only problem is that im 0.2 short on modric

    what do u think about that?

            liverpool seem will struggle for CS so im better off without him since in attacking terms he's not stting us on fire (2 assists)

            silva seems to be consistent on 1 assist or 1` goal in the big games when nasri is not playing, not sure how much i want him to stay in my team and he's not getting the bonus he used to last year

          Fair enough, you've done the due diligence, and I've also noticed a slight change of role for Silva in real time which I think may impact on his FPL.

          I say do something a bit different otherwise you're just doing what everyone else is doing with everyone else's results. ie standing still as Mr Average.

          Also, it gets a bit same old same old just trying to do the same old thing every year.
