The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Four – Santigold

Out of his pajamas and back in the studio, Granville and I reconvene after another dull international break to resume ScoutCast duties.

Arsenal’s new playmaker dominates, with the pair of us coveting Santi Cazorla’s charms and competing for his affections, whilst, in the back of our minds, wondering if we’re being taken in.

Robin Van Persie also gets some oxygen – don’t worry, that’s not oxygen treatment – he’s just the subject of this week’s discussion as we chew the fat on the “essential” debate that appears to rage on as the Gamweek’s roll by. The regulars all find their place amongst the merriment, as heat is turned up on the mini-league and mini-game struggle between myself and Mancunian magic man.

Grab the fools gold via this link, or stream it now via the player below…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I assume if Sagna played 90mins in training means he is fit to play in bpl ? Or am I wrong ?

        Beware bringing him in immediately. I did that last year just after he returned from long-term injury and after one start he got rested!

        I'm not sure whether stats really help me in this game you know... The stats edged me towards Fellaini, and now they're edging me towards Nolan as his replacement. I think I preferred it when I used to take wild punts on the likes of Bilyaletdinov with no basis other than a Europe League game I'd watched once.

      A good team, although I would get Bale in any WC team. I would prefer Ba over Giroud and how about Suarez for a one week punt too? I think there are better mid-priced options than Yaya such as Morrison and Nolan,

        Bale is so appealing, but I can't find the dollars without crippling my defense again. I am still unsettled on Yaya, but wanted to get some City in to the mix and didn't have a better option yet.

      take out Yaya and upgrade Torres to Rooney or Aguero.

        Had Aguero at start of season and I am afraid of recurrence of knee injuries. I'd almost bank on it happening. Rooney not playing on the right end of the field for me, unfortunately. Why the dislike of Torres?

          I know what you're saying, bud.

          I want Bale from next week but will have to either take a hit or use my wildcard to do it.

          Using my wc wouldn't be a complete disaster but I think I'll just take the hit and downgrade Zabaletta to fund the move.

    Morning

    I'm stuck with Jussi / Fed combo atm, so would you think it's worth a hit to do fed => bego next week?

    Reasons to do it for a hit gw9
    - fed price will drop before gw10 and bego's will rise so I won't afford that move then
    - I think michu => ben arfa as another transfer can't wait either
    - Hopefully allows me to save gw10 transfer

    Reasons not to do it for a hit
    - never take a hit for a keeper
    - actually already done it once this season....ddg => jussi for a hit few weeks back, worked only value wise 🙁

      Mertesacker is under the tangible threat of rotation with Koscielny. Although Per might be preferred to deal with the presence of Holt.

    Please help! My head is going to explode, 1 FT.
    Yussi (Federici)
    Baines, Mcartney, Cuellar (Clyne Gibbs)
    Pienaar, Michu, Bale, Yaya (Noble)
    RVP, Ba, Graham.
    My thoughts, ignoring defense this week. Fixtures mean bringing in a Stokie or WBA would be a waste. Focussed on attack. I want to bring in Berbatov/Giroud and Santi.
    I dont want to lose RVP or Yaya as they could both do well (especially if i sell them)
    Michu could do well this week, as can Pienaar over the coming weeks. That leaves Noble which is too expensive to upgrade to Santi.
    SO at this point to get some Arsenal coverage i could gamble on Giroud for Graham and no Berbatov.

    I am losing my mind.. Any assistance will be much appreciated lol!
