The ScoutCast – Episode 109 – Two Men

15 August 2013 5171 comments

Mark

No thrills. Few spills. Just two men in a room talking about Fantasy Football.

Granville and I handed Jonty and the “Professor” an extended pre-season and rolled the ScoutCast back to its rawest form. Just myself and the Mancunian sharing our thoughts after a summer break and looking forward to another Fantasy campaign.

We talk double Gameweek assets, I roll out the van Persie duvet, Granville reveals more than he should about his team lineup and, around all that, we assess the early bandwagons and preview the weekend fixtures.

Forty-five minutes of two blokes talking about the stuff that’s rattling around in most of our heads right now.

It’s good to be back.

So, now that Thomas is out of the picture, who is the least-rubbish 4.5 Mid?

I currently have it on Lucas due to LIV's defence and CS potential. Also, he's nailed-on to the best of my knowledge he doesn't pick up a ton of Yellows for a player in that position.

Totally uninspiring choice though - any better options?

The dodgy bandwagon team

GOAL KEEPERS
Mannone 4.5 - Many Sunderland fans believe Westwood should be their main goal keeper
Adrian 4.5 - A classic bandwagon case of 8 weeks too early

DEFENDERS
Terry - The 0.5 saved might come back to bite if Terry is benched for a game
Toure - Liverpool will buy a new CB before the window closes. Wasted transfer
Collins - Tempting fixtures but Tomkins challenging his spot
Brayford - Might be eased into the starting lineup
Ward - Is Holloway well know for being a good defensive manager?

MIDFIELDERS
Silva - Hardly qualifies as City 'cover'. Low goal involvement
Oscar/Lampard - Rotation imminent
Paulinho - Tottenhams Yaya Toure, expect modest returns
HBA - Made of glass, flatters to deceive
Barkley - Won't start that often, young English player hype

STRIKERS
Soldado - Unproven in the premier league and Spurs might yet sign another striker
Anelka - Even Lukaku couldn't keep Shane Long on the bench last season
Giroud - We all know he's pants. Yet he's still incredibly tempting, expect rotation and a new striker

  Disagree re. Toure, Silva, HBA, Soldado
  
  Toure is nailed on. He'll play, and with Agger's dodgy injury record, he'll get done in for a few more weeks to put Toure in charge for a while longer.
  
  Silva is involved in 24% of City's goals. That's not terrible. He also played far fewer minutes last time round, and now that he's got some more creative players working with him, he's in line to produce more. Add in the more offensive, false nine type positions he's taken up for Spain, and he's been given more license to attack than ever.
  
  HBA delivers when fit that's all that matters. He survived pre-season, came back early by three weeks for the end of the season. Ride it as long as it lasts, and it looks good to last for a while.
  
  Soldado has a great record in Spain, a record signing, the right build for the EPL. He'll score, and he'll score a lot.
  
  Otherwise, true enough.
  
  My XI
  
  Mannone, Adrian
  Terry, Collins, Brayford, Parr, Lescott
  Lampard, Navas, Kagawa, Paulinho, Bellamy
  Anelka, Negredo, and the ultimate of all dodgy bandwagons... Torres
  
  All could be good, but most likely will be dodgy bandwagons that just derail and burn.

    Toure - Liverpool will buy another CB
    
    Silva - Sure he might do better this season but if last season is anything to go by, he is rather underwhelming
    
    HBA - With Remy now in the team they might go with a 442. HBA doesn't suit such a system
    
    Soldado - We know nothing until we see how he plays in the PL
    
    With regard to your picks. I agree with Kagawa, Bellamy, Lescott and Negredo, but these aren't really popular bandwagons on FFS. I tried to be a little more daring 😉

Pretty settled on Vorm (5m) and Marshall (4.5). A few tid bits.

Swansea in pre-season recorded 8/9 clean sheets. Kept 7 clean sheets last season.

Marshall kept 18 clean sheets last year.

They rotate perfectly, home and away. Between them, they kept 25 clean sheets last season.

Cardiff defensively last year, are comparable to Swansea when they went up.

Finally, I know Cardiff will concede more this year, but Swansea certainly have room to improve as well and the manager seems to be emphasizing the clean sheets this season.

@9.5, the Vorm/Marshall combo is as valid a pairing as any imo.

  Home/Away rotation yes. However, early matches for both are tough. You might want Boruc for the first run of games and then switch to Vorm Marshall.
  
  Also consider that Vorm has UEFA games too
  
  Though I like the Vorm Boruc option personally... 2nd choice to what I did in the end (Cech Boruc)

      Europa is hard to tell, affects some teams badly, others get on fine. I think Swansea have the squad and system to fair okay. Certainly better suited to it then the toons or stoke!
      
      Mig's is plug and forget, but costs an extra 0.5 and if Liverpool ever have a blank for any reason or he picks up an injury, you have a headache. It's a small, but valid concern.
      
      But he does offer good value, so hard to tell, Mig's is certainly a valid option!

Can anybody tell me how mad I am to go with this? Probably my last draft until of course we all get nervous at around 11:00am Saturday morning!

http://imgur.com/MiHfgZX

The defense looks like it's considerably "vulnerable" to rotation, however I think it gives the rest of my team good point opportunities going foreword.

I also should mention I'm probably going for an early wildcard too.

Thanks. 🙂

      Going to wait and see on Dawson/Jenkinson getting replaced and hope to find some cheap 4.5-5 defenders to play or play the old WC. I will probably fall a bit short if I don't play it GW3 but the average that week will be low and hopefully my team's value and points can make up for it if I don't end playing it. Basically, wait and see mate.

        it's different from what I usually see. You just better hope the bench players don't have to come on. Hope it pays off for you
        
        good luck.

I have been asking a question all night as to the stats refarding 75% injured players and there liklihood of starting. Whether that means in past seasons diid the majority of 75% rated injured players start or not.

No answers given to me. Your on your own with the pressers unless you are in the clique.

A month or so ago someone posted an analysis on WBA that basically screamed "stay away from WBA D!"

I had a link for it, but it's been misplaced... does anyone happen to have it? I want to read it again, with all the Foster love going on these days I need to remind myself why I don't want him!

  I read that... can't link you but It was enough to convince me after researching what he said and nothing has chaged my opinion about that. Like my opinion about not investing in West Ham Saints or Everton this season. done

    Why Everton? Coleman surely has some appeal being a possible OOP at 5.0

Podcast yeah!

Wish i could stop tinkering, any thoughts on these few options

A
Boruc/ Mannone
Collins/ Cole/ Ward/ Chester/ Coleman
Hazard/ Coutinio/ Snodgrass/ Nolan/ Kim
RVP/ Lambet/ Giroud

Cole to Mert and maybe Giroud to Soldado

B
Boruc/ CECH
Collins/ MERTSAKER/ Ward/ Chester/ Coleman
Hazard/ Coutinio/ Snodgrass/ Nolan/ Kim
RVP/ Lambert/ DZEKO

Cech to Sunderland gk
Dzeko to Soldado maybe

I have been set on A for ages but B gives me Cech and cheeky punt on Dzeko.

Any thoughts?

      Get the West Ham and Saints out of your team.
      Lambert is on the downward spiral and will not give the same returns of last year in a dire defensive soton.
      
      Hammers will be mixing it with the newly promoted sides for survival and they play the worst football in this league__Hoof!
      
      Get with the corrupt money program and go with the teams that have the bought in world clas players and I think you could build better. Just get in the Cardiff cheapies as a back up as they will surprise but dump the rubbish.

  Maybe a little too much in defence? a couple of 4.0's give you some to upgrade Rod or Kim, up to you though, just i normally play 3 at the back all the time

  Looks ok, just downgrade your 5th defender (4.5 for a 5th defender is a waste imo)
  
  See your reasoning behind Johnson - if you were a member you could compare the two and reason if it is a good idea based on the player stats....

  no RVP. for his price you can have two other players that will equal or better him 7/10 games and that's good enough for me. just be wise with your captaincy.

  I am not sold on having any Arsenal D in my team, they always seem to leak goals in the matches you think they won't. At least this way you have a guy that might score and the safer bet for a clean shit in net.

    The flip side of that is they had 14 CS last season and 9 of them came away.
