The ScoutCast – Episode 126 – Nostalgia

Bonus points delivered by the man in the stand. Golden Wonder crisps. Ian Woan. The 1982 World Cup. There’s more than a hint of nostalgia about this week’s episode Granville and I park the Zimmer frames to resume ScoutCast service.

My co-host is almost back to full-fitness, exercising his rehabilitated vocal chords and wrapping his recovered tonsils around more double Gameweek discussion, along with a further round of community posers. Aguero’s double Gameweek potential, Granville’s fading faith in Moyes and our preferred flavour of crisps-based snack are amongst the hard-hitting topics on the agenda, following on from the usual bout of regulars.

Roll back the years via this link, or look back in anger via the player below.

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

    What's the view on hits over the next 3 Gameweeks?

    was thinking of

    GW 29 Kos & Gerrard to Lallana & Evra -4 (11 then for this week)
    GW 30 Eriksen & Ade to Lukaku & AJ -4
    GW 31 Lallana & Terry to Coleman & Nolan -4 (9 DGW players)

    Is that too many hits?

      -4 is great for GW29 considering how many teams around you will be playing with 8 players (ish) even at your lofty heights..so that ones free at worst but far more likely a net gain..So it's really a -8 to get 9 DGW players. GTG...get on with it.

    If you had 4.6 to bring in a playing mid for this GW, who would it be? Why optional.

    Looking at Kasami at the mo. Fulham looked threatening against Chelsea so against a poorer defence they may turn that into goals.

    Team at the moment for GW29 (2 FTs, BANK = £6.5m):

    Marshall
    Ward Olsson Azpilicueta
    Mata Puncheon Hazard Noone
    Adebayor

    subs - Mannone, Zabaleta, Koscielny, Sterling, Suarez, Giroud

    Thinking of just using one transfer (Giroud > RVP) and then starting 10 (assuming Punch and Noone start ofc!) players this Saturday.

    What ya reckon?

      Looks like a good option to me but what are you planning as your front 7 for DGW? If you're not keeping RVP then maybe please with 9 and use your FT on another doubler?

          Yeah any blank player if you want more coverage for DGW. Depends how well you think RVP would do this week and if he's worth the captaincy over Haz.

                      Have half coninviced myself that Sturridge is most important after Suarez (form and DGW fix) and then it's a choice between Luk, Aguero and RVP. I'm thinking Yaya and Lukaku trumps AJ and one of the 2 others though.

      Giroud -> RVP seems wise. I'd do it but the temptation would be to hold RVP for the DGW as well. Is that what you want?

                  He did ok last night..in fact he did ok for United when he played earlier in the season. Not the greatest striker in the world but earns his keep now...or did..

        How long have they had Vidic ? and how many times has he been injured ?..He's a great player on his day but they should have got shut of him years ago..same with Ferdinand, started with his bad back lark about five years ago, why do they still have him ?

    thinking studge to RVP(c) for another -4 could work.
    will mean another transfer for SAS for 31 though.

    anybody else considering this?

    not alot of great captain choices this week.

      Hazard and a Saints player would be a good captaincy pick. I'm certainly not convinced RVP will do a whole lot better.

            +1 the only thing which sways it is that I'll get an extra fixture out of it and Palace have a DGW coming up which may provide another extra fixture so long as its not at the same time as the other Sunderland DGW (which it probably will be 😕 )
