The ScoutCast – Episode 126 – Nostalgia

1,855 Comments
Share

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.

    Is this the week to captain a defender?

    Hazard is very hit and miss, Southampton are away from home, United and their strikers are in poor form. Who remains?

    Personally I think Ivan, Terry and Evra are good options for the armband this week.

      Chelsea defender certainly an option as a punt but certainly Hazard or RVP is the choice.

        I genuinely think Chelsea will get a clean sheet. Its just a matter of whether Terry/Ivan grabs attacking returns as well.

    I still have my WC intact.

    Should I use it prior to GW 31 and fill my boots with DGWers or build up to GW31 and change the team after using my WC.

    I also have 7 players this week and would transfer more in this week if using WC before GW31.

    Whats the best strategy

      You might not need to change your team much after the DGW. Most solid DGW choices are good for the long term anyway. I say go for it prior to GW31

        Cheers .... my thinking if not using it was that I will probably only transfer 4 players at most anyway.

        With a ranking of 4k will it be a disaster to field only 7 this week ?

        Think this is a bit unfair. They should have gotten a cleanie against Spurs a couple ago they let up one shot on target for one goal by Ade if memory serves. Then they let up one against Chelsea in stoppage time. Then they got a clean this past GW.

      Aguero is the type of player who could easily score even if he only plays five minutes. Was it Blackburn that he scored against with his first touch?

    I'll tell ya a fresh Lukaku is tempting over Remy. Especially with another dgw to come and THE fixture next week. Everton likely for a dgw in 34?

      I know there's not an obvious answer but Jan or Carrick in for Cazorla gives me 11 for gw29 & a dgw 31 player albiet poor and gives me cash to get Baines/Kosc/Komp & an upgrade in forwards. I'm starting to believe it's worth a punt.

                Not these days unfortunately. Fellaini isn't the same prospect as he was last year at Everton because he no longer plays behind the striker. He's just like he was prior to last season. Carrick is always a no go 😉

                its not nuts in isolation however it is nuts when it means leaving out one of Aguero/Suarez/Sturridge. However if you have no chance of getting SAS then I suppose Jelavic is a worthy option.

                  I can afford SAS but think Aguero might not get the Fulham game and only get 60 mins against United, I could be wrong. Just noticing Jelavic is starting to look hungry again. Two nice dgw fixtures and another couple after. Forging a nice partnership with Long

                    Yeah, deff worth considering those 2 as well however Jelly sitting 6 in the strikers form list, also came really close to scoring a couple at the weekend there and although Hull slipped up at the weekend I like the fixtures, W BROM and west ham

      Good team for this gameweek, which is good! Depends on your mini league opponents really

        I am miles ahead in ML. No wories there.
        But I hope I'll make up some ground I lost in last 2 weeks. I dropped from 2k to outside 10k with 2 awfull GWs.

      nice but your DGW team will be very sparse without alot of transfers.

        I'll be hiding behind the sofa when DGW comes. 🙂
        Still, I hope with 4 transfers I can field a decent team in DGW. Maybe one hit. Not sure about Rooney -> Aguero yet.

      Great team, same attacking players as me in haz, lala, ince and ade. Feeling a bit weak with only ade up front but I'm guessing we're I. The same boat in not wanting to lose value in Suarez and Sturridge

        yupp. does seem a bit scarce with just one up top but I'd lose too much on suarez or sturridge out and I already have a pretty low TV. just hoping that most others wont have many players and/or will be taking hits so I can equal them or gain ground on them even with just one striker
