The ScoutCast – Episode 135 – Arrivals

With cheque books fluttering on the eve of the transfer window slamming shut, our Fantasy seasons could be transformed by some notable new arrivals. In this week’s ScoutCast episode, Granville and I chew over the latest fresh faces to crash the player list – United’s “Angel” Di Maria and Liverpool’s “Devil” Balotelli.

With just a single point between us and the comfort of top 100k placings, my co-host and I are more than just a little content as we the rule over the current bandwagons and preview another weekend’s action. It won’t last.

Bed yourself in via this link, or get acclimatised via the handy player below…

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

            wonder what it means for Brady, especially with Snoddy injured. He was beautiful to own at the start at least season. If he can get a spot then he looks a steal at 4.9

            Tough to call, Holliet needs to go and you need better cover for an injury. Maybe Costa/Holliet to Naismith/Fab or Rooney. Not sure you will find the funds without consecutive hits.

      I think both. Wonderful player in his day, but won't be very mobile at all now. Should be very solid, play some nice passes and have a good calming influence on those around him though - Leicester also have Drinkwater and James to come back, as well as Vardy, who are arguably three of their better players. I think they'll do quite well this season, nothing spectacular, but well organised, and should pick up some clean sheets.

    I've got Costa and Dzeko, and I'm desperately tempted to switch them to Aguero and Pelle. Can't afford it if Aguero rises tonight.

    Stick or twist?

      Doubt Aguero will rise tonight - been looking at TotalFPL for the last days, and players needs to stay at over 100% for one day to go up in price.

      But depends how much you want Aguero (I think he's too injury prone)

      Looks good. No City players though.
      As for Aguero - I would wait until he starts games, but if he will be too costly by then, you might have to. For Rooney then?

      Since Aguero doesn't start yet. Why not prepare for that transfer in a week or so by shifting someone now to bank cash?

      Thought Yaya looked a bit out of it against LFC, even jaded.
      Shouldn't be though, so he will probably bang a couple now.
