The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Seven – Dogging

Better late than never, our ninety seventh episode of the ScoutCast delivers another 45 minutes of mirth, plus injury time.

With the Professor otherwise engaged, it’s left to Jonty to provide backup to myself and Granville, arriving to deliver another “Fully Jonty” – the first to feature a community victim.

Doosra’s Fantasy fortunes come under the microscope, revealing a penchant for bandwagons and knee jerk transfers. Nevertheless, we try to go easy on the experienced campaigner, rounding things off with the extraordinary tale of the Doosra rescuing Jonty’s dog. True story.

That treat rounds off an episode that includes all the usual regulars, including our rinse through the forthcoming double Gameweek which Granville insists on placing within inverted commas: the weirdo.

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

      Tricky... I'd want more than 1 liverpool but I don't think it's worth it if it isn't to get Suarez / Gerrard.

      As a result, think I'd go 2).

            read this to avoid confusion:
            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup-tied

            "However, if the first club fielded him in the Champions League, but would later play in the Europa League through finishing third in the group stage, the transferred player is ineligible to play in the Europa League."

          Really? that makes it difficult because Liverpool will want to win that game, He would've been the flair in the front three, what if Suarez started in Europa and was benched versus West Brom 😮 Gerrard(c)

            I think Liverpool will start with a weak team, and bring on Gerrard and Suarez if they need them. Which i think they will.

      this is what i think: Hazard is back. Chelsea will play in Europa League in few days after. He'll rest Mata. Rafa needs to convince Chelsea's fans so he'll try to win all competitions.

    i can play fed or mingolet, and giroud or fellaini. of course playing giroud and ming kind of cancell itself out, but i guess its also an option. my other relevant players are walcot - but no other sun. ars or stoke or reading players.

    please pick two to play - i am going to go with your pick no questions asked, and send you a bottle of wine if succesfull, so you will not be thirsty while looking for Jonty's dog 🙂

          If long term I'd go for Enrique. Slightly less goal threat, and the money could come in useful.

          Also no midweek friendlies so unlikely to be hurt, unless he fell out of his car or something!

          That said, don't be cheesed off if GJ scores this GW!

And I don't think there is ever a time frame deciding when you are accepted... I wouldn't worry too much... Just keep posting and if people reply they do, and if they don't, they don't 🙂

          Samba always targeted when QPR have corner kicks, just for a flick or directly for a goal. good choice to play him. also tricky fixtures for Harte. Demel still in doubt to play. so in sequence i'll play Samba > Harte > then Demel

      Naah the defense is fine I would even consider starting Samba or Nastasic instead of Lambert. Especially NAsta who is very likely for a CS.

        Long term i would rather have vorm and wilson rather than davies and bego so it seems an ideal time to do it considering the double and the fact i can use bunn next week.

      I wouldnt do that now. Vorm may be fit but may not play the 1st match to ensure being fit for the rest of the season.
