Paul Mark finds himself up against the powers of The Shadow this weekend as the Third Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Paddy Power Cup VII gets underway.
We’ll be keeping an eye on Granville’s conquerors Bulkegjengen’s bid for glory, while world number three Iyad Zahlan goes head-to-head with Batten Corrigan for a place in the final 128.
If you’ve made it through this far, scroll down to see who you’ll be plotting against in Gameweek 13.
Looking for a captain choice for this week. Know RVP is the obvious choice but wouldn't mind a differiential if anyone can advise?
Bego
Baines Wisdom Cameron
Silva Arteta Mata Carzola Michu
RVP Aguero
Aguero would be your differential choice.
And may I just add, bar Artera, than is an excellent team!
Thinking that, could you see him playing wednesday as well?
Not sure, but he will definately play this weekend and it'll be him, Tevez or Silva in the goals. (Or a Dzeko super-sub performance)
Differential doesn't mean pick the person you think will score less points. You should only really look at differentials if it's a close call or if there's a massive gap to chase and picking the same as your rival would make it impossible to catch them.
Do you think rafa at Chelsea will benefit Torres?
Nope, Torres is past it imo. I've lost patience with him as a chelsea fan...
He got carlo, avb and rdm sacked
I have gut feeling Torres will explode under Rafa as what he did at Liverpool.
No hes done his pace has gone
Hes the new michael owen
no pace = below average footballer
I think so. He'll change the tactics to make them more solid and use Torres as a proper CF.
I thought he was hired because Guardiola refused to even consider Chelsea until the end of the season, and they wanted someone desperate for a job who didn't mind a short-term contract til the summer.
team for this week
Habsi
Baines (VC) Cuellar Caulker
Nolan Mata Silva Bale
Ba (C) Berbatov Suarez
subs - cameron gorkss fellaini
lI think Ba is due a big score he has been unlucky recently
So I see Mark has taken over Granville...
And the joint team has coming surging into the top million!
1412gooner anyone we know?
Is this worth it for a 8 point hit next week,
Jelavic -> Ba
Crouch -> Berba
Cazorla -> Walcott
or should i just do jelavic -> Ba/Giroud but im thinking Ba as i already have gunners cover with Cazorla.
No. You're bringing in 2 players away to Chelsea and Stoke for an 8 point hit.
fair enough. thank you
Im sick of crouch though and wanted to bump him up. do I bring in another guy on his level aka long/lambert or would you give crouchy more time?
i definitely prefer Ba/Berbatov/Lambert/Long over Crouch but it's not worth a hit when he's at home to Newcastle and Ba/Berbatov are away to tough teams. Maybe give him FUL NEW then ditch for one of the two.
Begovic (Tremmel)
Rafael O'SHEA Baird Garrido Cameron
FELLAINI ROUTLEDGE Bale Sterling Mata
Giroud RVP Suarez
Thinking of doing O'shea + Fellaini + Routledge for Shorey + Silva + Puncheon for a 8 point hit. Would love to wait for free transfers but if Fellaini price drop or Silva rises i wont be able to do it.
I know for Fellaini it's form over fixture but with fixture getting tougher he is bound to get less chances, right?
Thoughts? Should i do it?
No.
You can't have Sterling and Puncheon in your team long-term imo. If you want Silva, drop one of Mata or Bale. I'd keep Fellaini, he'll probably perform better in tougher fixtures. O'Shea to Cuellar when you get a chance.
which 2 would you rather have.....Ba, Giroud, Berba?
Fletcher or Jelavic?
I have Pienaar & Baines as well.
What is the starded Line up for Liverpool tonight? I am hesitating betting on bernes!
Plenty of interesting transfer talk, Blackburn chasing Friedel, http://hereisthecity.com/2012/11/22/transfer-talk-featuring-friedel-and-gouffran/?
any predictions for wich pair will score the most this GW
1) Silva and Giroud
2) Walcott and Tevez
i'll go with number 2 if walcott is fit to play...
2, with Walcott fit.
1 even if Walcott is fit imo.
Tevez i believe is set to start since he only played 30m midweek the problem will be Walcott's fitness
Yeah 2 if he's fit. Tevez has a good history vs Chelsea.
Not all about just this GW though is it?
no but as crazy as it sounds the number 1 pair is right now 0,4 cheaper so in case i change my mind i can always change them for a -4
So I have a real dilemma, hopefully you guys can help out
Begovic (mannone)
baines rafael cueller (davies demel)
michu cazorla sterling nasri (fellaini)
Berba RVP Ba
Have 1FT and 0.6m in the bank.
I was initially concerned with nasri and had the following choices:
A: nasri >> valencia
B: nasri + ba >>> lennon (or AJ) + tevez…with a hit
C: nasri + ba >>> morrison/walters + suarez…with a hit
D: nasri to lennon this week and ba to tevez next gw
E: save the transfer
I opted for D since i wanted to keep Ba this week against shampton whereas suarez has 2 tough away games and tevez might not score against city….especially with a hit. SO the plan was to do 2 transfers next gw depending on how Ba performs.
HOWEVER, i was informed that all the teams that have a home game this gw will also have a home game next gw (midweek)…that changes things slightly as it would make more sense to use the transfer now to take advantage of the 2 home games someone i bring in will have coupled with the fact that i am not sure nasri will start this weekend.
Sorry for the essay but wanted to provide some reasoning….
I am leaning towards to my initial decision of choosing B as choosing C would leave me with no city/chelski/spurs coverage
all comments welcome:)
You have just killed us with paperwork UnitedNations!
FFS is all about thinking out aloud:)
Not a fan of Lennon to be honest and I'd also hold on to Felliani even after his suspension.
yeah def not letting go fellaini....
also not a fan of lennon but nasri is jus so frustrating...he has given 2 six pointers last few weeks but is playing deep for some occasion
mate, i would say option A but you got rafa n rvp
I think you definately need silva/Aguero/Tevez so i say find some £££ for that
Option D is decent move but lennon just isnt consistent enough, even when he does something he does not kill it.
I say option E
i could always do nasri >> Adam johnson this week and ba to tevez next week. But if ba performs really well then i wouldnt want to get rid of him.
Thinking of just saving the transfer and assess the ba situation depending on his performance against shampton, if he doesnt score there, he will never score
So 66% of punters are going with RVP as captain this week. If United go up a few goals early is there a chance they'll rest him? I sense an early sub coming on this week!!
He's already had his rest, I doubt he needs another one.
The few goals early will be RVP x2 and they won't take him off before his hat-trick 😉
...and Ba has Sou. No takers?
This. I had the balls to not (c) RVP last week, although it gained nothing (Berbatov). Not a chance I'm not captaining him this week, he's due a hattie as well 😉
I didn't. Hence scored really low. (would have with Berba too, though) This is why my knees are trembling,jerking and going all over the place.
Soton at home > QPR at OT on current form.
Why do you sense an early sub?
There is always risk but can you really afford NOT to captain him?
I know I can`t.
If he fails this week i predict the mother of all knee-jerks on Saturday evening.
Who are Arsenal's first choice back 4? Saggy, Mert, Kos and Verm? Will Gibbs claim a place?
I'd say Gibbs comes in for Kosc with Verm moving back to CB.
Its pretty difficult actually. Sagna is a no-brainer on the right. As far as the middle, i think Mertesacker has been their best all season, with Kocielny as a clear nr 2. Then again, Verm is the captain, so he kind of has to play. Maybe they stay as is for the time beeing? Surely they will get some more injuries, come on, its Arsenal.
Sagna – Mert/Kosc – Verm – Gibbs
Mert most likely from most of this season.
Gibbs will take over at full back with Verm getting a central role and Koscielny dropping out.
Thanks, thinking Mert is going to be worth investment.
Definitely. I have him, bargain
You should put a mins played or games played column in these. I think it would be very beneficial.
It's tight. Minimum three games ... might adjust that ...
Seeing these an the average per game would be good too. The stats aren't so helpful when we don't know how many minutes they've played but I don't know if it's an option when making tables.
Going on pure gut feeling I would've picked Kun over Carlos any day. Even with the price difference. Having seen this, I'm not sure anymore. Carlos is INVOLVED and the money could be spent elsewhere.
Again.Thanks.
This is based on past performance and Kun being rested for CL. Wouldn't be surprised to see Kun take over.
Yes. Fair point. He is a definite finisher. Once he starts regularly, he'll certainly be at the end of many attacks. Still, Carlos' stats impressed.
Bit biased given Tevez would have played more minutes but I still think Tevez +1.6M is the better option.
Begovic | Foster
Baines | Rafael | Cameron | Davies | Demel
Bale | Cazorla | Pienaar | Sterling | Maloney
RVP | Tevez | Berbatov
2 FTs, 0.5 in the bank
I'm thinking Demel to Cuellar, and probably losing Pienaar next week.
Makes sense?
Good, good! 🙂
What's going on with Demel? Don't really want him for the next few anyway, but is he likely to get his place back?
4.0ish defenders playing for Big Sam teams are a bargain!
They are also a nightmare. BFS has a man crush for O'Brien.
Fonte or Shorey, imo.
Wouldn't mind Shorey, but 2 home games in the next 6 (against Utd and Arsenal) puts me off tbh.
I guarantee you now that I will not have a Southampton defender in my team all season!

Click on "shots on target"
King Eric is in match number 1 and match number 40
Diarra and Baird back for #Fulham. Kaca, Ruiz, Davies and Richardson out. Kac and Ruiz out for 2 weeks
-------------Diarra-------Baird/Sidwell------------
Duff-------------Berbatov---------Dejagah/Rods
--------------Petric/Rodallega--------------------
Just seen a Chelsea fan on Sky who as a season ticket holder state he will not go to any Chelsea games while Rafa is in charge, Can't get my head around it.
shotgun his ticket
What amuses me is so many fans already slagging him off, one called him a clown, however they don't call for Romans head.
I can understand. There is a deep Chelski loathing for all things Fat Spanish Waiterish ...
Any way to contact him?
Desperate for a season ticket.
They're idiots. He's the best manager they've had since Mourinho
Or Hiddink. Benitez really isn't all that good, his work at Valencia excepted.
Odd. He could be a very good manager for Chelsea. i wonder if he still won`t attend if there is a title decider at the bridge later in the season.
He'll only miss 3 games then.
Have 2 FT and 0.2 in bank.
Jaask, Begovic
Mertesacker, Cameron, Clark, Nelsen, Davies
Hazard, Bale, Silva, HBA, Sterling
RVP, Suarez, Lambert
Any ideas? Looking to ship HBA.
Cheers
id use 1 of those transfers on 1 of your cheap defenders..barfa is alright for this gw
Is he though? He's got 1 assist since god knows when. I can't have him at all anymore.
HBA + Lambert -----> Puncheon + Tevez?
HBA + Jaask ----> Walcott + Tremmel?
Considering my FT this week and have come up with
A - McAnuff to Sessegnon
B - McAnuff to Johnson
Except Sunderland are shit! Only won cos had extra player
Need to sort out this horrible looking defence:
Begovic, Jussi
Gallas, Hughes, Davies, S Taylor, Williamson
0.4m in the bank and 2 FTs.
Some options:
a) Davies and Taylor to Cuellar and Wisdom
b) Jussi and Taylor to Tremmel and Enrique
c) Jussi, Davies and Taylor to Tremmel, Cuellar and Enrique (-4)
d) Something else!
I like the idea of Jose if he is playing OOP, but is he worth the hit?
I'd get rid of Taylor and Williamson for Cuellar and someone else.
Double Newc... ouch! Yeah ship them both for Cuellar and perhaps Cameron
Yeah bad punt on some good matches. I should have considered that no Collocini was hardly going to help their defensive woes.
Not sure about doubling up on Stoke after the Newcastle disaster!
Ironic, isn't it, that Fantasy Football Scout has the same acronym as For F$&@s Sake
Most Sunday evenings I can't work out which is used more commonly 🙂
What do you make of this team...it has Aguero in it.
Bego Foster
Rafa Cuellar Gorkss Garrido Davies
Fellaini Mata Cazorla Nolan Sterling
RVP Aguero Ba
?
Mulumbu out of the weekend by the sounds of it. Good for potential Sunderland punters.
Morrison shifted to DFM?
Hey folks
I have 2 FT and £1.5m in the bank.
Foster, Begovic
Baines, Davies, Demel, Cuellar, Gorkks
Nolan, Michu, Bale, Fellaini, Sterling
Ba, RVP, Aguero
Thinking of bringing in mignolet for foster and saving FT.
Thoughts please?!
Thank you
Hitman Absolution, Dishonored or Far Cry 3? can only buy one.. damn games are expensive 🙁
wait a while. Get them used say a week after release. Then you'll afford two of them 😉
