The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Two – Double Top

978 Comments
Share

While I was “driving home for Christmas”, Granville was recovering from a breathless double Gameweek that left him just above the average; his humble target achieved, he’s now got to patch up his injury ravaged squad and contend with all my crazy Wildcard talk.

Wayne Rooney’s form is the catalyst for such a revolution in my squad, as we discuss the benefits of doubling up on the United men up top. There’s the usual foray into the transfer market with “all board”, the preview of the weekend fixtures and the latest attempt to revive the corpse of the ScoutCatst team: Granville is the surgeon this week and he’s spending some points.

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

            I don't think it's that late to get Sterling as he is still cheap enough and looks likely to keep his spot, but agree that Silva or even Lennon are better options. 😉

    So... Dimitar Berbatov.
    Everyone is getting rid, just as I think I'm about to get him in. 5 or 6 blanks in a row but has looked good and could be a long term replacement for the third striker slot (currently Lambert).
    The Ruiz thing is interesting, but it's just a hammy so he'll be back soonish. And he's cheap as chips.

    Plus. Watching Berbatov score points for you is better than sex.

        So Cuellar or Gorkss or Mccartney to someone this week. Got 1 FT and 0.4 in the bank. Any suggestions? (Also got Enrique...)

        How's it looking?

        Begovic
        Enrique - Demel - Nelsen
        Cazorla - Fellaini - Michu - Sessegnon
        RVP (c) - Berbatov - Suarez (vc)

        Mignolet - Sterling - Cuellar - Ivanovic*

        Good to go?

          Sterling over Sess? Demel vs Cueller not a great option to have.. Enrique 50 / 50

            Bib gate on Sterling and Demel fit, McCartney not, Cuellar in for Enrique if not in team idc......that's my thinking

              used your FT? don't trust Cueller this week unless you need a double FT next week.. good luck, defence looks pencil thin fixture and quality wise.. never know though..

          Who's the best Norwich midfielder to get in, presumably its out of Snodgrass and Pilkington? Which one plays more offensively, or is simply the better prospect? Much appreciated
