The ScoutCast – Episode 71 – That Russian Striker

8 March 2012 2500 comments

Granville

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.

Not usually on at this time..so a couple of fresh views on this please ;

Aguero to Rooney for 4 point hit or do it for free next week?

(I've done my 2 FTs already..Sess to Myaichi and Ba to Suarez)..........Thanks

  I have the same dilemna, my thinking is that if i'm not going to captain Rooney then it might be better to just do the transfer for free next week.

  I'd take the hit, Aguero's form away from home is consistently atrocious:
  
  Last time he scored away was against us (sigh) in October! Also only one assist in that time against Chelsea in December.
  
  Rooney has scored 7 goals in his last 5 games....yes penalties a many, but does that matter? I don't think so.

Kelly or Taiwo, which one to sub out for G Johnson.

Had been Taiwo all week, but Kelly's injury has me second guessing now.

Defensive line is

Krul, Linde (may aswell stick now given Krul's next 2 are okay)

Richards, J Evans, Santon, Taiwo, Kelly

  I would say Taiwo. Kelly close to coming back and he (should) slot back into Fulham defence who have good fixtures and are on form.

    Cheers, that's what was thinking just thinking Taiwo could go OOP if he comes back in.
    
    If he does I can just bring him back in I suppose.
    
    Just waiting for any info on Johnson now before starting my 8 point hit.
    
    Taiwo > Kelly
    Dempsey > Nani (Not convinced on this one, might just leave until next GW)

Anyone else thought Young looked pretty tame last night?

Lot of interest after his England goal, and a price rise followed, but with Nani/Valencia rotation risk as well, probably best to steer clear?

Ok, so what's the best choice do toy think?

Rangel > Enrique (Got Vorm for Swansea cover, not great fixtures to double up on)
Kompany > Enrique (Will get Komp back in, got for 6.6 so will make .1 and he will possibly drop at least .1)

  Not sure if the finances work, but I would prefer Schwarzer for Mignolet, which might mean doing Carragher for Skrtel to fund it.

  Agger won't be back for two weeks, so I would say 'yes'
  
  Carragher always a serious own goal threat though. He and Koscielny practice together

Morning yall

Following the public outrage over the alleged stupidity my transfer plan, I'm still somehow convinced that these transfers will pay dividends.

I have already done 3 transfers but am being forced to play A.Ferdinand away to bolton ( = 1 point inevitably) so im thinking Silva, A.Ferdinand > Miyaichi/Pilki, Skrtel for -8.

I'm looking for more opinions.
Cheers.

My team is

Krul Mignolet
Evans JEnrique A.Ferdinand (Simpson Kelly)
Bale Silva Dempsey Siggy McClean
Rooney RVP Suarez
