The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Two – Comfort

27 September 2012 2122 comments

Mark

Better late then never. In truth, there’s nothing comfortable about this one. We had some nightmarish technical issues that had me tearing at my receding hairline tonight but, we got it done. Just.

The route of the problem was a change of scenery, as Granville and I resorted to staying on home territory to record this latest episode. There was a chance it would end in tears; it almost did.

It is, at least, a bumper episode, with just over 45 minutes of myself and Granville grumbling amidst the regulars on Wednesday evening. With his three point lead at the top of our mini-league, the fact is I couldn’t bear to face my Mancunian rival to discuss the merits of an early wildcards versus points hits, lament the demise of Carlos Tevez and chat about Granville’s night attire.

Paolo Di Laernu - low rep r…
13 years, 6 months ago
I just realised something a bit frustrating...on a WC and I got in Nolan hoping for a double rise...he's about 65% at the minute. It's not a certainty he'll go up but I was intending on swapping for Sterling at the last minute. But herein lies the problem...Sterling is at 77% and if he happens to rise himself come tomorrow night...It will mean I won't have the opportunity to gain that extra .1m and in a sense the whole thing will feel a bit pointless. 😀

I guess that .1m extra will go towards funding 4.7m for Sterling...it's a tad annoying though :/

  Haven't checked that figures but I'd guess that based on Nolans overall points compared to Sterlings many casual players will be more likely to get him in. Especially if he got more points last week. So even though he's further away from a rise he could easily overtake Sterling before Saturday morning. Just gotta hope Sterling doesn't rise in that time.

    No chance really. Not only would Nolan have to over take Sterling but he'd also have to reach 100% on a night when Sterling didn't. Otherwise they'd both go up 0.1 simultaneously and you've got the same problem

      Yeh suppose. Forgetting its already Friday now, losing track of time having a few days off work ha. Still worth just keeping his eye on tonight. Neither will rise in the next couple of hours or whenever it happens so he's in no rush to do the transfer now.

    Thanks, I have a bad feeling Sterling will rise but as you said more casuals will be interested in Nolan for sure and he scored last week so there'll be a late surge. It's the fact Sterling plays for Liverpool that's making him so popular...so many Pool fans out there...that's the only reason why you would get most of their players in is the allegiance...at least this year anyway!

Hey all!

Got myself a bit of a dilemma. I made a transfer this GW taking a 4 pt hit taking out Aguero for Suso thinking that Tevez will replace him. Now that Tevez played a full 120 minutes against Villa, I've changed my mind. If i swap back Aguero again will it count as another transfer or will it get rid of the -4 pts?

Thanks!

      Just having fun - it's a legit question. I just think that, having Baines, you won't miss his points should he score big. But RVP can score, and big - and many will (C) him ... and you'll want in on that action.

  RVP without a doubt. Baines is lovely to captain because he has the added chance of CS. But this week lots of people (including me) aren't expecting it to happen. Thus it comes down to attacking only and that's why RVP wins.

  Gibbs is the must have defender after this weekend behind Baines imo. He's really improving his attacking threat and loves making runs into the final 3rd this season. Then there's the fact that Arsenal are doing well defensively and everywhere else there is going to be competition for places soon in defence (which should result in better performances: Sagna v Jenks, Mannone trying to continue his impressive displays whilst Sczc... is out and Mertersacer v Kos). Oh and the fixture run after the weekend is going to be really nice too.

        They aren't the strongest of teams that is true... but i fully expect West Ham to score. Norwich is a tougher call and Arsenal may well pick up a clean sheet there but i'm not expecting more than 1 in the next 3 games. Of course attacking threat is another argument entirely and tbf Gibbs has impressed

        Even being able to confirm that you're expecting 1 in the next 3 isn't that bad from a buying perspective imo. You never know one of the teams may surprise you and draw a blank so you get 2 out of 3.

Hey all, got a headache with Chelsea v Arsenal. Worried about players cancelling each other out. Only question really is... is it worth it to bench a "star" player for someone less highly rated simply due to strength of opponents? I can't see many goals in Chelsea v Arsenal. Wondering if Routledge is worth a punt over Hazard or if Demel is worth a shot over Cashley Cole. Thoughts? Thanks guys

  There will be many times in the season where your players play against each other, especially the "star" players as you will have more of those by default and the top 5/6 teams face each other regularly.
  You just gotta grin and bare it.
  Saying that...Demel should be in your team this week, maybe.
