The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Eight – The Manchurian

Granville may well be exotic but he’s not Manchurian, despite what the spellcheck told me a few weeks back. He’s also a happy man. Winning on all fronts, he’s dishing out “one helluva beating” to yours truly right now.

Reveling in his position of power, the Hungarian Mancunian brings me to task on my jerky knee transfers, with the regular ScoutCast favourites scattered around that particular discussion.

Get your ears around our foreign tongues via this link or stream the nonsense through the player below.

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

              But Berbatov was at 7.2 after the game against Arsenal, he should have risen to 7.5 already then if it is 0.3 max per week

            Fellaini has already achieved the max rise allowed in a gameweek so he will not rise until the weekend. Berbs can rise once more before the weekend and it looks like that will happen tonight

              Fellaini is done. Sell when on top, as the they say in some famous street in NY ;). BTW, Gorkss is the easily the best budget option in defence; both attacking threat and rock solid defence!

            dentist mate. Had to have some work done, problem is the tooth being filled in was virtually gone. This meant the drill pretty much went straight to the nerve. No problem when under anesthetic, but once that wears off.

        Anyone else annoyed by the attention seeking twat in the Society of Black Lawyers? Last week they were in the news for slamming Spurs fans for calling themselves The Yid Army they now claim institutional racism following the Police decision not to follow through with Clattenburg case! Pity so many in the media have given them far more publicity than they deserve.

          They're idiots. They don't speak for anyone let alone black people. if anything they are promoting racism themselves.

        Was thinking about the suggestions on the last Scoutcast about an extra category for "attacking midfielders" or whatever. I think the thinking behind this was that modern football tactics are no longer as simple as midfielder / striker and this hybrid position has evolved.

        However, I have come up with a better solution for FPL (I think):

        3 categories:
        GK - obvious
        Defensive players - all current defenders plus defensive / deep lying midfielders
        Attacking players - all current forwards plus attacking midfielders (wingers, "in the hole", etc)

        Your squad would contain 2 GKs, 5 defensive players and 8 attacking players

        Your team each week would have 1 GK and a minimum of 3 of each of the other 2 categories.

        The scoring would be:
        GK: as is
        Defensive: as per defender scoring now
        Attacking: as per forward scoring now

        Simple!

        What do you think?

          so no one will be getting in the hole/wingers, as all will be striers
