The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Three – Wrapped Up

Possibly the most un-Christmas-like Christmas Podcast we’ve ever recorded, thanks mainly to Granville being banned from editing in the entire MP3 of Dean Martin’s “Let it Snow” but also because neither of us had time to sort our pressies. To be fair, I’m surprised that Granville felt an ounce Christmas spirit after Santi’s showing at Reading opened up a 40-point “chasm” in our min-league. Do I have it all wrapped up already?

To his credit, my co-host takes it all on his bearded chin, joining me to discuss the Felliani fallout, its impact on the transfer trends in “all aboard”, a preview of the weekend fixtures and provided his assistance in the management of the ScoutCast team: an outfit which plundered no less than 80 points thanks to Santi’s haul and Reading’s bulging net.

Unitie the bow and rip this one open via this link, or stream the merriment via the player below…

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

            surely is, these games that are expected to be 6-0, very rarely goes that way in the end. Not taking hit to get rid of rvp or suarez for city striker.

                  Chelsea/City/Villa/Arsenal would be after GW27, so we could have 2 big DGW's instead of just the one.

                  Last year the FA Cup one was around early GW30's so they are a while off yet 🙂

      Yes and i makes sense because we want to get 11 decent players on the field. DGW's do have the problem of wasted transfers where you get players in then have to sell them again. This often involves hits which negate any extra points acquired in the DGW.

      Walcott: cheaper, could remain oop, besides this last gw seems to be a bit more involved in fantasy points imo

      Cazorla, I think he'll be rested less than Walcott and there's a lot of fixtures coming up.

      If you want points, Caz is your man and on form, however he is known to go through a quiet period now and then. If your extra funds with Walcott enabled you to bring in a big player like bale, tevez, mata fro e.g, then go with Walcott, otherwise stick with Caz.

    Just to add a bit more to my earlier post. My cup opponent hasn’t touched his team since GW6 and I'd probably put him as favourite in our tie. The only player we have the same is Silva. Whatcha reckon?

    ME: Jaask, Enrique, Cuellar, Clyne, Yaya, Walcott, Sess, RVP(c), Suarez, Ba
    HIM: Cech, Ivanovic, Walker, Skrtel, McAuley, Bale, Duff, Tevez, Pog, Torres(c)

      All in all, you have better team.

      But if Tevez, Torres go crazy and all his defenders with home fixtures get CS, then who knows?
