The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Eight – The Manchurian

15 November 2012 2009 comments

Mark

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.

      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!

Team this week:

Mata, Bale, Michu, Fellaini, Sterling
Suarez, VP, Berba

Improvement suggestion please good people. Is Huges -> Cameron the most sensible?

    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.

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?
