The ScoutCast – Episode 110 – Cosmo

He’s well travelled. He’s multi-lingual. He’s just 19 points behind me. Despite my best start to a Fantasy Football season in living memory, Granville is right on my tail. In this latest episode of the ScoutCast, Granville takes delight in taunting me by wrapping his tongue around every “Pochettino” with ease, leaving me to struggle like Paul Merson with a mouth ulcer.

In between the mispronunciations, myself and the “cosmopolitan Manc” get heated about Robin Van Persie, rinse through the Gameweek 1 bandwagons, preview the weekend’s action and welcome the flying start made by this season’s ScoutCast team. It’s breathless stuff, squeezed into a low fat 40 minutes.

        Looks decent to me. I personally wouldn't put in Benteke even though he is in great form just because of his blank but that's probably just me.

        Also Boruc with no back up is a bit weak. No way u can stretch to Migs?

    Rarely take hits and have never taken -8 but will this week I think. Hazard out and Silva in will be the second hit. Hazard will drop in price and Silva will gain. Those Man C. fixtures are just too good to pass up. Well spent 4 pts imo. Here's hoping anyway.

    One question. Is it safe to assume that Silva will not rise in price tonight. I know it's a dodgy call with fiso down but looks safe enough, right?

      Dzeko and Nolan will bag the points. When Dzeko starts to be rotated switch to Lambert to shake things up to a Bony-Snodgrass combo or simillar for your money. Not great value in the 5.5 bracket at the mo, but someone might emerge.

          I think so too. I already had Dzeko but I took a hit and brought in Aguero. Double City I know, but it's Cardiff and Hull and I wanted Aguero with a view to getting in RVP sometime soon. And I had to get rid of the dead weight too. Made sense to me. Dzeko to Bony for me as soon as he starts getting rotated.

          Could be brilliant. Could be disastrous.

        i have a united friend who has this rule to never own any liverpool, man city players and to bench any opponents.

        i have finished above him by a few hundred points every single single, despite him taking it very seriously.

        the difference is emotional choices he makes 😀 by not picking someone, doesnt mean they are not going to score.. Terry has surely got to be picked ahead of chester.

            Not sure, but he doesn't have the yellow badge of uncertainty on FPL anymore. So unless someone knows something I don't, I expect him to play some part this weekend with normal service resuming in GW3.

    Walcott (C) . Differential and if fulham plays with Tarabt, Berbatov, Ruiz and Bent all together, they will not have a solide defensive display.

      but they would be able to break Arsenal flimsy defense and with both parker and sidwell to bully the arsenal midfielders

          Defo. Whittaker's place is under threat with returning regulars (even after his goal/assist)
          Shaw is at home too.
