The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty – Hazardous

30 August 2012 2534 comments

Mark

Batten down the hatches, Granville’s wildcard is active. Having suffered an abominable Gameweek 2 mauling, the Mancunian has shuffled, tail between legs, back to the drawing board. The excuses and justification are spread thickly throughout and Granville even calms his jerky knee long enough to strike back at my decision to transfer in Eden Hazard: the cheek of the man.

The usual regulars are, of course, scattered about this nonsense, including a record breaking “All Aboard” the weekend preview and the recent failings of the ScoutCast XI.

Hi all!

Long time lurker, first time poster.

RMT for GW3 please and I will return the gesture!

Vorm (Jaaskelainen)
Gallas, Hangeland, Jenkinson (Demel, Cuellar)
Routledge, Kagawa, Michu, Gervinho (Hazard)
Tevez, Ba, RVP

Who do y’all see as a liability going forward?

Much obliged!

  Galls is rotation risk, but I think he should play this gw.. Jenkinson will be a forced transfer once Sagna is back, but that could take a while...
  Routledge is in BIG rotation risk now... Gervinho, uhm.. great player imo but Im not so sure he will play...
  well, nice team..

    Yeah I took a punt on Gervinho because of his work rate and how easily he gets forward. More of an investment than anything else. At 7.5 he was a total bargain and if he starts notching some goals/assists he'll be all the Arsenal coverage I need.
    
    Gallas is only in there as Spurs coverage and because he was a real bargain.
    
    Routledge won't feature every week, and ideally, I would like to swap him for Allen.
    
    Thanks for the tips!

i think its not bad team at all, i will play all season 3-4-3 and have accualy place for one shitt* defender who i will rotate with good fixtures:

howard, tremmel
collocini, rangel, *** (demel, clyne, guntner)
hatem ben arfa, hazard, michu, kagawa (guthrie)
tevez, adebayor, robin van persie

also think that team will increse little bit to upgrade clyne > cuellar and adebayor > torres

      You dont really want "all season long" as you will not keep either for the entire season. Pienaar should match, or even better HBA's scores up until GW13 when you consider fixtures and current form. Plus the extra 1m you could invest in upgrading a defender.

Good move for Carroll for his career but i cant say he is worth 8.4mil on FPL, I remember when he had the great FPL season with Newc when he was a mere 6.0. To get him into most teams it would mean taking out 1 of the big guns and overall i dont think it will be worth it.......thoughts?

Not posted for a day or two and tbh I'm absolutely astonished at the amount of love for Berbatov ,
Sorry but what am I missing? - A one time great at spurs who played to his strengths but unfortunately idle the last two seasons, I'm not doubting his quality but he lacks pace and team play.
Maybe Fulham will try to evolve to his strengths but how long will that take in training , and then there's Petric and Ruiz ,
Berbatov is a decent signing but for me he's a poor mans Sheringham.

  I have not got a plan to get him in as of yet, but he is 6.9m.

Am I right in thinking VDV is pretty much guaranteed not to play this weekend? I only have 11 players (including VDV with a game)...

DDG
Cole, Clyne, Zab
VDV, Noble, Pienaar, Kacaniclinc, Michu
Tevez, RVP

Federici, Torres, Cole, Gorkss

1.5m in the bank and already taken a 4 pt to be in this predicament!!! I was planning on VDV to Hazard next week for free.. Any other suggestions?

  Thats a mess.. sry..
  Uhm, even if I really hate hits, and the fact thats its a 2 weeks break now.. maybe u should gamble on bringing Hazard in now? If u gonna do it, and afford it, u will need to bring him in on sat/sun anyway (price rise again)...
  Cant belive im advicing to take a hit, so.. no, dont.. dont do it!

    Whoops I don't have Cole twice, replace starting line up Cole with Demel....

        Considering you have Midfielder > Hazard next week lined up anyway, and the fact that VdV *probably* won't even play this week, it's pretty much VdV > Bale for a 2 point hit this week, assuming Bale plays over 60 minutes. So the potential loss is 2 points, that's if Spurs don't keep a clean sheet and Bale does nothing, a clean sheet puts it to a 1 point loss, so Bale only needs to get 1 attacking stat to make a points profit. In other words, the potential reward is worth a possible 2 point loss IMO

        Cole - ?

Right, I will admit i am slightly panicking with no Hazard (not for this week obviously) or RVP (even more so) in my team currently but...

I think my bare 11 for this week have decent fixtures, and if Demba can do the biz at home v Villa I could well do ok?!

Perhaps re-panic Saturday night when EH & RVP prices start to rocket again

FC Twente could still lose coveted defender Douglas, with the possibility of Manchester City's Dedryck Boyata coming in as a replacement.

And finally, Vitesse could end up doing a decent bit of business today, with Wilfried Bony said to be on Aston Villa's radar, while Chelsea's Gael Kakuta could come in on loan.

40 points away in my league, which is nothing. I'm considering a hit for a defender (yes, I know it's the 11th commandment) since my 3 cheapies are either not playing/under threat or just cack.

So which Def to play: Clyne, Fabio or Turner?!

DDG/ (Fed)
Zaba / Clyne / Fabio / Turner (Ivan)
Bale / Kaga / Michu / McClean/(Guthrie)
Tevez / Graham / (Torres)

Thanks

  The reason it's the 11th commandment is that the new defender has to get a clean sheet just to break even on the hit. They have to get more than a clean sheet to make it worth it. Just take the 1-2 points from Clyne.
