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.

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

  It would be tough owning him right now. I'm looking to bring Aguero in over the next 2-3 weeks but I wouldn't want him this week. I would probably home firm at this point. He might not start this week but after that he's as good as any player in the game.

So I am in a 10 team draft league that uses the points of FPL to score.
2 gk's, 5 def's 5 mid's 4 fwd's.
Having a dilemma with my team, not sure how to fit Rafael in to my team this week, or if I even should.

Provisional Lineup:
De Gea
Maicon Reid Riise
Silva Cazorla Michu Ramirez
Dzeko Ba Giroud

Fletcher Rafael Young Caulker Friedel
Advice welcomed, thanks guys!!

  I'm not sure you should rush to do that. Silva is a good pick. Very consistent but it's not clear yet which of those two will be more successful. I'd roll over the trade and reasses next week for 2 reasons. London derby should have a few goals in it. Silva rarely gets explosive double figure scores so he's unlikely to hurt you much if at all this week. I fancy a santi special this week

  I'd be OK with loosing Pienaar, but uncool to drop Kun.
  
  I feel that post CL omittance Kun will be boss.
  
  Therefore I vote 4, frees up cash for future, DGW, and better fixtures should SUN find any sort of form. (didn't look at rest of team)

My WC team..

Jaask, (Mignolet)

Evra, Wisdom, Ivanovic, (Sagna) (Gorkss)

Silva, Lallana, Sterling, Nolan, (Maloney)

Suarez, Berbatov, RVP (C)

0.0 in the bank..

What do people think?
Have Ivanovic at 6.8 = Is he worth keeping or is a trade the better option to upgrade the midfield?
Silva a good main man at midfield? My other midfielders up to it?
Too much Liverpool youth?

Let me know your suggestions..

  Evra/Ivanovic are wayyyyyy overpriced. Other than that, I don't have any problems with your players in a vacuum. I would downgrade Ivanovic and Evra to maybe Cuellar/Wilkinson and get another bluechipper in midfield: Mata/Bale and Fellaini if possible.

  Wow that would be quite something. I guess its during the off season in America. There could be a real fight for his signature. I wonder if he'd consider the Phoenix.

    I think the FFA will have to shell out a bit to whichever club signs him. They're saying he's not asking for huge wages, but is willing to settle for more commercial means of payment.

        Yeah, it would have to be a Sydney or Melbourne team you would think. I doubt Sydney FC though as they have Del Piero already so I doubt they could afford it. Western Sydney, Victory or Hearts most likely I reckon.

4. Cazorla + Ba -> Silva + Giroud

      Just a general feeling. Michu and Nolan aren't must haves and I'm not keen on some of Granvilles ideas. Just look at some of the trades they have done this season. But I guess I shouldn't expect them to be right all the time but lets be honest, some of the ideas put around are absolute howlers. See Kolarov as case and point.
