The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety One – Honeytrap

Granville loves a double Gameweek. He circles them like a fly around honey, so often falling for their hollow promises and duplicitous charm. Will Gameweek 16 be any different? Certainly my esteemed rival has the momentum; after closing our mini-league gap to just three points, Granville is in confident mood as we chew the fat on the this week’s double header, lament the Baines phantom injury and the not-so-phantom Bale affliction.

The regulars are present and correct, as we chat Michu, Fellaini and Suarez vs Ba in “all aboard”, preview the rest of the weekend fixtures, tamper with the failing ScoutCast team and reveal a new arrival in our members area for the New Year.

Buzz round this latest temptation via this link or use the player below the stream the sweetness.

Goodmorning guys,

I was about to bring in Sess for Bale, but I don't know if its a wise move to transfer in someone that you'll want to get rid of, next week.

I am tempted by Taarabt as I can see QPR beating Wigan this weekend and by Nolan who is a real goal threat.

Opinions?

  Why sell Sess next week? Manu have kept 2 CS from 15 and Southampton are leaking goals.

Really don't have a clue what to this week. 1FT. Any help/ideas much appreciated.

Begovic, Foster
Demel, Cuellar, Enrique, Baines, Clyne
Ramirez, Michu, Bale, Walcott, Guthrie
Giroud, Van Persie, Lambert

Defence and forwards look okay, it's the midfield that's in dire straits!

    Bale likely to be out for next gw as well? Could get Fellaini in I suppose or as you say look at Sess. And funny that I was looking at Robson Kanu, he a better option than McAnuff?

      I am founding member of the Robson-Kanu fanclub. Bought him in this week and will captain him. His points per minutes played is amazing, better than Michu and Bale, much better than McAnuff. PPI over last 4 games better than McAnuff. Played excellent in 1st half vs ManU (didn't see 2nd half). Gets a lot of crosses in every match. Southampton are playing a 17 year old left back...need I go on? Join my club.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Clint Dempsey - Tottenham: After a slow start to his Spurs career, Dempsey was the star of the show. A key role in Tottenham's first two goals in a lively display behind the strikers.

Who watch the games ? Is it Dempsey really excellent last night?

Arsenal fans must be frustrated when they hear Wenger repeating 'We have 24 games left, we are in all the competitions, it's up to us to make the season right' or 'I am mad about the fact we did not win our last game but I do not question the desire of this team'. He keeps saying that for few years now. And the clock is ticking... http://www.sincearsenallastwonatrophy.co.uk/

Morning Guys,

I currently own Bale, Walcott, Ramirez, Suarez and Fletcher.

If Fletcher or Ramirez don't make it, then I can't even field 11, even with them I'm only just scraping a (half) decent side together.

Do you think this is worthy of a wildcard or a hit? I also own Mata, who should play this week, but then has a blank next to make things worse!

Team linked.

Cheers.
