The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Six – Significant Touch

2 May 2013 2141 comments

With the ScoutCast survey results still resonating, we make minor tweaks to the trusted formula and still manage to clock up our longest episode yet. To be honest, with a double Gameweek looming and “Balegate” to pick through, this one could have run and run, particularly once I’d got “Significant Touch” by Phil Collins trapped in my head.

There’s plenty of discussion, another cameo from the Professor and his suffering Fantasy fortunes, the weekend preview and another Full Jonty which, this week, focuses on one Fantasy managers mysterious message from the “other side”. An event that inspires Jonty to go on the hunt for superstitious Fantasy managers.

Walk under our ladder and download this week’s episode via this link or clutch your rabbit’s foot and stream the nonsense from the player below.

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

      To be fair stricter moderation has been needed. HomeCrowd should change things though, hopefully we get responsible community moderators.

        Hopefully that will be the case. Re-design of HC taking place tomorrow. We should be testing with the new look by Wednesday and then hopefully rolling out next weekend.

    Can someone help me please?

    Bego

    Sagna / Vertonghen / Martin

    Mata / Bale / Maloney / Fellaini

    Remy / RVP / Tevez

    fabianski, Samba, Sessegnon

    I don't know if I should do
    1 Remy -> Kone for a -4 or
    2 Remy -> Kone, Samba -> Dawson, Sess->Nasri -12
    3 Remy to Kone, Evans -> Dawson, Sess -> Michu, Yaya, Lampard.... -12

    Tempted to go -12 and would rather get rid of Samba than Evans so leaning towards 2. However I don't know if Nasri will start both games, and he's a bit odious

    Apart from Toure not sure who in the higher price bracket (up to 8.7 mid), apart from Michu, is dead set to play both matches

    I don't really need to take any chances as I have a narrow lead in my mini leauge. Howvere getting rid of Evans/Samba and Sess seem like good moves for the rest of the season and this way I'm doing it 'cheap' because I making 2pts back straight away

    Ideas please?
    🙂

      I wouldn't bother with Kone, he's in poor form and I can easily see a 4pt return.

      Can you not just bench Remy and replace Sessegnon with a DGW midfielder?

              Loads of choice then, I'd definitely shift Sess for one of Yaya, Nasri, Oscar, Lampard depending upon whether you are chasing or defending a lead.

      Can't tell without your full team, but I would say no, as Luiz could miss one and RVP could score as well as Lukaku in one game. I assume you need to make the RVP transfer to fund the rest, so I would rethink. Hart is a good shout as is, imo, Mata.

    Chelsea have played 6 games in 18 days, and Hazard has started every single one of them. Not only that, but he’s played the majority of all these matches.

    Chelsea now have 4 games in the next 13 days.

    Somewhere in these games he’ll have to be rested. It surely won’t be the cup final. It will be either against Man United, Spurs or Villa.

    Opinions? Can we get a little discussion going here? Because most posts I’ve seen just seem to assume that Hazard will play both in the dgw without considering the shift he’s put in the past month.
