The ScoutCast – Episode Seventy Five – Quincy

5 April 2012 2338 comments

Granville

We’ve had the ball in for an examination – we’ve screened it for fibres from Hatem Ben Arfa’s boots and we can now reveal that the results were inconclusive. The forensics proved nothing – Quincy has let us down.

As you may have guessed, last weekend’s events at the Sports Direct Arena and the Fantasy Premier League’s assist ruling provides the topic of discussion for this week’s ScoutCast. Wrapped around that, Mark and I throw in the usual regulars and I try my best to keep my chin up throughout, despite the widening mini-league gap.

Bring this week’s episode in for an examination via this link. Or stream the evidence from the handy player below.

I know we've been all over this but bear with me . . .
Deuce vs Bale vs Walcott this week:
I think I'm gonna go with Walcott (form & at home) but he's up against a team that must not lose and have an Itlian manager (not to mention some decent defenders) and I have RvP.
Dempsey will either score or not, there's no way of predicting. I know all about Fulham's away record but Dempsey is Dempsey & Bolton are Bolton!
Bale blows hot & cold / Sunderland are no mugs.
So, if anyone has any thoughts about the relative merits of these three going into GW32 I'd like to hear 'em.

  I think you have to play Walcott at home even if it is City.
  
  I also think Dempsey will be do well against Bolton especially if he is pushed up top so I'd play him.
  
  Bale has 2pointer written all over him this weekend. If you have better options, bench him.

  I'd go Walcott & Bale - Arsenal are up for it at home and have lots of goals in them there. Bale looks immense at the moment and has another goal streak coming up for sure as Spurs hit a nice run of fixtures. Bolton have won 3 on the trot and Fulham are pretty mince away from home. Walcott and Bale for me, but its all a lottery really...

REPOST (for the dead zoners)

FURTHER ANALYSIS OF THE “BLANK PLAGUE” OF GW34 and DOUBLES OF GW36

Really enjoyed Sir Paulos’ in-depth examination of the GW34 and GW36 conundrum. It’s a ridiculously complicated problem and I may be wrong but it seems strange to me that no one has posted up the simple idea of just combining the fixtures of GW34 and GW36 thereby leveling out the playing field and looking at the fixtures as if there were no double gameweeks:
Arsenal ——— WIG sto
Aston Villa —- mun wba
Blackburn —— swa tot
Bolton ———- sun TOT
Chelsea ——– QPR NEW
Everton ——– FUL sto
Fulham ——– eve liv
Liverpool —— nor FUL
Man City —— nor MUN
Man Utd ——- AVL mci
Newcastle —- wig che
Norwich ——- MCI LIV
QPR ———— wba che
Stoke ———- ARS EVE
Sunderland — WOL BOL
Swansea ——- BLA WOL
Tottenham —- BLA bol
West Brom —- QPR AVL
Wigan ———- ars NEW
Wolves ——— sun swa

When you try and filter your ticker on FFS to only show GW34 and GW36 and then sort by it by ‘Overall’ difficulty it seems to have some kind of DGW malfunction, that or I just plainly disagree with the outcome. Anyway here is how I rank it from easiest to hardest (using the ticker difficulties) promoting the idea that having Swansea, Sunderland, West Brom and Arsenal players for GW34 and GW36 could be more beneficial than just getting your GW36 players in ASAP:
Swansea ——- BLA WOL
Sunderland — WOL BOL
Tottenham —- BLA bol
West Brom —- QPR AVL
Chelsea ——– QPR NEW
Arsenal ——— WIG sto
Liverpool —— nor FUL
Everton ——– FUL sto
Man Utd ——- AVL mci
Newcastle —- wig che
Stoke ———- ARS EVE
Wigan ———- ars NEW
Wolves ——— sun swa
Fulham ——– eve liv
QPR ———— wba che
Blackburn —— swa tot
Aston Villa —- mun wba
Bolton ———- sun TOT
Norwich ——- MCI LIV

Now before any torrent of abuse starts I know this is an overly simplistic view because once you weigh in all of the other factors (team form, player form, injuries, suspensions, rotation, the fact that you have a 15 man squad and not just 11, free transfers etc etc etc) it loses a lot of its significance. I have already discussed in a previous post the basic strategy for us managers to rotate our squad of 15 and use free transfers to maximise the number of games your players can play in both gameweeks so I am reluctant to get into that again. This is just purely looking at the fixtures and in that sense there is one overwhelming factor which must be included for this to be any use at all… GW35! Sorry to be a pain but you’re going to have to field a team that week too folks. So, when we include the GW35 fixtures (again I have to differ with what the ticker throws up) I rank them like so:
Swansea ——- BLA bol WOL
Sunderland — WOL avl BOL
Tottenham —- qpr BLA bol
Aston Villa —- mun SUN BOL wba
Bolton ———- SWA avl sun TOT
West Brom —- QPR liv AVL
Liverpool —— WBA nor FUL
Arsenal ——— WIG CHE sto
Newcastle —- STO wig che
Man Utd ——- AVL EVE mci
Chelsea ——– ars QPR NEW
Man City —— nor wol MUN
Blackburn —— swa NOR tot
Fulham ——– WIG eve liv
Everton ——– mun FUL sto
Stoke ———- new ARS EVE
Norwich ——- MCI bla LIV
Wigan ———- ars ful NEW
QPR ———— wba TOT che
Wolves ——— sun MCI swa

A few things can be gathered from all of this. The first is, don’t just trust the ticker, use it as a guide and make your own calculations. Obviously Villa and Bolton’s 4 fixtures promotes them to lofty positions here but I actually agree with this as not enough people are respecting this and contemplating bringing in Villa and Bolton players in GW35 which I see as a sneaky and viable strategy. Liverpool go up in my estimations while Everton and Stoke are two teams which fall considerably but this can be counter-balanced by their last two fixtures of the season which are favourable. I urge people to get a full compliment of Spurs players for this precise reason as they have great fixtures up to, during and crucially after the DGW.

I’m pretty sure the more savvy users of FFS will have narrowed their ticker down and looked at it from this perspective, as well as others, themselves but for those that haven’t had this particular brainwave, perhaps this post is a useful slant on how you will deal with this unique twist in the fixture list. It could go on, you could add in the last 2 fixtures of the season (why not?) but that’s for another time. The reason I added GW35 into the equation and not 37 & 38 is because GW35 cannot be ignored, any plans you make for GW36 now MUST include players for GW35, the same is not true of 37 and 38 where your plans only PREFERABLY factor these weeks in. Anyway there is no perfect balance right now, when the gameweeks are over some will say there was ‘one’ and the lucky few will have nailed it, but right now it is not apparent. Enjoy my wild stab in the dark though 😛

    I just need a semblance of form from any Villa player, any spark to encourage me and I might do the same.
    
    I think there is a good advantage to bringing in a Villa player in GW34 and a Bolton player in GW35 as you are getting 4 fixtures for the price of 3 and 2 respectively.

  It's a great post, but I don't agree IT. Personally, I would much prefer to have a player who has 3 fixtures in GWs 34-36, over someone who has 3 fixtures in GWs 35-36. When looking at fixtures, I'm considering FA Cup and CL, as this increases the threat of injuries, rotation, and team just not putting up a performance.
  
  I know you can't do it from the ticker, but I'd want to judge the fixtures based on spread, rather than number of games (except for Villa and Bolton who have the extra game, of course).

    Not a problem my man, these are all just viewpoints and opinions. I was just trying to simplify a very difficult problem down to its most simplest form. Purely fixtures, no other factors such as the ones you mentioned.
    
    It's only meant to be a perspective to acknowledge and not a strict guide or justification for any particular strategy.

    Yeah. Definitely.
    
    I mean, GW32 and GW33 are probably more important than the final two as they are due earlier and less can change in the meantime.
    
    This post is all about trying to simplify a very difficult problem however and the more fixture we add in the more complicated the problem becomes again...

    Exactly! Baines is a classic example. After the United game Everton should be top of the list with Spurs. It also doesn't consider Sunderland having only 3 good fixtures so its ok if you already have Sunderland players but a little risky to get Sunderland players in as you'd soon need to get rid of them again. Posts such as this also don't consider form which can override everything

      The point of the post it to try and level the playing field and simplify a very difficult set of variables. If that's not something you want to do, fair enough.

Can’t beat em so&hell…
14 years, 3 days ago
This week doesn't feel right.. I'm after some advice.

It doesn't feel right because I have two stars on the bench... That can't be right can it?

Mignolet (Wol H)

Enrique (villa H)
Evans (qpr H)
Caulker (new H)

Siggy (new H)
Sessy (spurs H)
Bale (Sun A)
Valencia (qpr H)

Jelavic (Nor A)
Rooney c (qpr H)
RVP (man c H)

Which makes the bench look ridiculous...

Krul (swa A)
Walcott (man c H)
BAE ( sun A)
Simpson ( swa A)

Am I being stupid? Surely I should be finding space for Walcott and BAE?

Help!

schwarzer mignolet

jevans mcauley simpson jevans skrtel

valencia siggy sessegnon surman dempsey

suarez rooney rvp

transfer plans:
currently have schwarzer, bae bale and simpson set to be benched in gw 34 so need to sell some of skrtel, dempsey and suarezto get myself as much of a team for gw 34 as possible.
so which one of skrtel, dempsey and suarez should i sell and who for? my instincts say sell one of skrtel and dempsey but all three have decent looking fixtures

a) skrtel for vermealen or baines but verm has hard fixtures and unsure of baines
b) dempsey for walcott or sessegnon really not sure

Thinking of Impressive Tackles post above would it be such a bad idea to get HBA in instead of Walcott? I'm keen to back his hot streak at the moment and his fixtures are fairly decent from the Bolton game? the key though is that it would enable me to keep Rooney for the season and get Baines for the DGW

Walcot: wol, WIG, CHE, sto, NOR, wba
HBA: BOL, 0, STO, wig/che, MCI, eve

I'd bench HBA for the MCI game but I also think Newcastle will fancy the Chelsea fixture as a very winnable one.

The alternative I guess is to have Walcott but downgrade Rooney in GW36 in order to get Baines.
What do you guys think?

  I think that Rooney out for GW36 for a DGWer is the best way to go as the City game will probably quite a tight game and after that I predict the title will be won so there is no need for Fergie to play him against Swansea and Sunderland.

  This can also be compared in terms of form and PPG (points per game)

  overall: 5
  Last 10 games: 6.4
  Last 5 games: 6.4
  
  Ben Arfa
  
  overall: 4.1
  Last 10 games: 5.5

  This shows B Arfa is on a real hot streak at the moment and could mean he will match Walcots output but for a much cheaper price allowing transfers elsewhere
