The ScoutCast – Episode 125 – Sicknote

It’s the ScoutCast vs Adversity. Granville drags himself out of his sick bed and we scramble into a makeshift studio, determined to return to the airwaves after our absence last week.

Apologies in advance for the echo, the faint background hiss and Granville’s Bonnie Tyler-like tones. If you can see your way past that little lot then you might just find some worth in this week’s episode as we grill the Gameweek 29 blank, sauté the Gameweek 31 doubles, boil down the Suarez vs Sturridge debate and lament our joint decision to choose Edin Dzeko from the lavish striker buffet, ignoring the sumptuous Sturridge in the process.

In between that particular call to Captain Hindsight, we rinse through the regulars, although Granville’s poorly state has us clean forget to credit the Scout League leaders or offer our thoughts on our new Fantasy Football squeeze – Ultimate Fantasy Premier League. Please accept this note from our respective Mum’s and the promise that we’ll return to full fitness next week.

    Any thoughts on this plan?

    For GW 28

    Adrian (Eve A)
    Ward (Swa A)- Azpi (Ful A) - Bruce (New H)
    Nolan (Eve A) - Hazard (Ful A) - Cazorla (Stk A) - Lallana (Liv H)
    Adebayor (Car H) - Suarez (Sou A) - Benteke (Nor H)

    Bench:Mannoen, Noone, Kolarov, Evans
    Bank: 6 mil

    GW 29 (2 free transfers)

    Evans - Azpi - Ward
    Snodgrass - Noone - Hazard -Lallana
    Adebayor - Van Persie

    Bench\not playing: Adrian, Mannone, Bruce, Kolarov, Nolan, Suarez

    GW 30

    Mannone
    Azpi - Kolarov - Ward
    Nolan - Lallana - Hazard - Snodgrass
    Suarez - Van Persie - Adebayor

    GW 31

    Adrian x2
    Bruce x2 - Kolarov x2 - Evans x2
    Nolan x2 - Hazard - Lallana - Gerrard x2 (or someone else for less than 7 mil)
    Van Persie x2 - Aguero x2 - Suarez x2

    Something they mentioned in the scoutcast which hasn't been widely discussed to my knowledge:

    Everton's home game against Palace, which is yet to be rescheduled, surely can't be played midweek due to logistic (mainly policing) that would be caused by both Liverpool and Everton playing at home during midweek.

    When does that leave us with? GW34?

      They never play at home on the same day but that wouldn't stop Everton playing Tuesday and Liverpool Wednesday. With Swansea going out last night they won't have to play on the Sunday before now meaning Everton could play Tuesday!

        Don't sell Yaya. Of all the players in FPL currently fit I think Yaya is the keeper for a few blanks. You'll probably lose too much to sell him and consequently have to take hits to McGyver him back into your team later.

    Sterling or Gerrard as 3rd LIV player for DGW?

    If Sterling I could afford John to Ivanovoc week after for Gw32 and CHE run in to add to my Cahill.....

      Stevie G. Sterling is a cheap sub in comparison.

      100% Stevie G for me. Atleast you will probably have a couple of weeks to see if a Lucas return effects Sterling's gametime.

      On form and fixture I'd say Ade. Speaking of which, is Suarez -> Ade for a -4 hit this week madness?

      My original plan was Suarez -> RVP next week for free.

        Stick to your plan for next week. Though I don't think it will be worth it then either.

          You're probably be right. My issue is I'll only be fielding 7 players as it stands so figured I should get another one for free (who I'm going to want for future GWs). If you could get one Man U player in for the next few who would it be? Evra/Mata?
