The ScoutCast – Episode 71 – That Russian Striker

Pavel wotshisface. He’s a bit good. We really must learn to pronounce his name correctly – with thousands of Fantasy managers shipping him in, he’s threatening to stick around.

While we practice our “Pogrebnyaks” in “All Aboard”, Mark and I also lament the costly break granted to Sergio Aguero and David Silva, debate the double Gameweek temptations and pick apart our hosts freshly dealt wildcard.

We’ve even included the entire episode this week, rather than cut the thing off half way through. We spoil you, we really do.

Grab the banter here, or stream away with the handy player below.

      Suarez hs looked pretty dangerous and with a bonus 2 points plus an extra (hopefully) 90 mins to do something I've gone for it!

        But would use two transfers if I'm getting him. Would do Suarez->Rooney after this gw then. It's hard. Leaning towards Rooney over Suarez at the moment.

        Anyone think Ba -> Prog would be worth a hit? Could always wait and get him in before the next gw, but kinda want to sell Sess aswell.

    Assuming Kompany is out, would it be worth extending my already -8 hit to a -12 point hit to do Kompany > Squirtle?

    Defense looks like this:
    Evans, Senderos, Kompany, Simpson, Shotton.

    Wouldn’t be happy playing Simpson or Shotton, and feel Squirtle could score well in the next few weeks. However, is -12 a hit too far?

    After calming down a little, I reckon I'm going to just play Shotton. -8 is already far too much for my liking. Right decision, or will Squirtle make me regret this?

    Please take a look for me guys.

    Vorm. (Lindegaard)
    Enrique. Evans. Caulker. (Shotton. Simpson)
    Mata. Bale. Silva. Dempsey (McClean)
    Ba. Aguero. RVP.

    Ive already used an FT to bring in Enrique (I went cheaper and got him instead of Skrtel). Now the issue is, I really need Rooney in my team as United attacking coverage.

    Which one:

    a) Vorm + Aguero > Bogdan + Rooney (Bogdan, cheap and is at home to QPR)
    b) Ba + Aguero > Pogrebnyak/Holt + Rooney (But I really wanna keep Ba vs NOR next GW)

    BOTH the above for an 8 POINT HIT.

    c) Screw that and get Rooney in for a 4PH next week.

    Cheers in advance 🙂

        If we took it more seriously then we would have played our strongest side. That includes Rio, Carrick and Nani.

        We also did the same in the group stage of the CL. Played weaker teams thinking our squad was strong enough to cope.
