The ScoutCast – Episode 137 – Precious

Henderson is the sort of player who could score in the derby. High-energy blood and guts sort of player in those sorts of games, and he's always making good forward runs. Getting rid of him for a hit would be really silly ahead of what could be another high-scoring derby.

You should look to ship Rooney out asap though as 10.4m is a lot for a midfield player who's limited to long-range efforts and has tough fixtures coming up.

Predicted points for Rooney this week? 5?

Not sure how the Fox one works with budgets/ transfers etc. The only 2 i wouldn't really want are Erikkson and Albrighton. Rest is fine

B) Ade --> pelle for me. Did the same for -4 this week

Leaning towards B, but you want to get Fab in, so that would exclude that option?

Ade to Pell/Welbeck. Pelle for the risk and reward chance. Welbeck for long term security.

cheers fellas

Leaning towards Pelle for the differential.

With Blacket out you could strugggle

Are you serious?

If you're not completely an utterly convinced by Costa yet something is wrong!

Agree

Pelle - played midweek. QPR game supposed to be a certainty for saints goals and a win...
Rooney - out of position doubts
Costa - injury/champ league doubts
Aguero - game time/ champ league doubts
Falcao - nobody has seen enough to be convinced yet

Personally if I had hazard I would captain him. I'm a Falcao and Di Maria owner. One of them will be getting the arm band

Forster the only riser?

No point wasting transfers on keepers. Final points aren't too different

I was thinking of swapping krul for him for ft yesterday too... Cant do it now as i only have 0.5 itb... D'oh!

Im worried about this too but I'll take all the assists and price rises I can get until a viable alternative shows himself. I may bring in Mane or Tadic for him to get Baines GW8

He's mint.

Needs a few blanks or else it won't matter.

He doesn't play deep.

he pops up in the attacking 3rd very often though with his late runs, usually gives him the time to have assessed the runs too. it's the final ball that counts.

seeing that time and time again. Hazard/Ramires/Willian take on defenders on the wings, play it back out to Fab who's outside the box, he's had the time to assess the runs, usually picks the best pass - goal.

non owner but i want to get him in soon.

thanks

i agree....chelsea's best chance of silverware this season....cannot see him rested this weekend

Agreed Muppet

You should probably take a -8 hit, got a few terrible players there 😀

don't rate Costa ?

Welb

Pele

OK next name wins!

i went for welbz....better long term i think

Pelle.

yes

Sure

Blackett

It won't be as high-scoring as people expect. Both managers need to tighten the defenses up, and Martinez will be wary of leaving his team too exposed like in January so will likely play on the counter. I foresee a highly energetic but cagey game, finishing 1-0 or 2-1.

Depends on the rest of your team

Duff in for Lovren…I predict 0-0 that game. Or I should say I hope.

I'll go for A probably. I like United's attack but I just don't see Herrera maintaining this goalscoring form. As for choosing Ozil, if Wenger puts him as the #10, the returns will be back. But if Wenger resorts to using him in the wings yet again, problems will rise.

Ozil, good punt. Will inevitably bag an assist or two in a high scoring derby, you really can't go wrong w/ an Arsenal mid in an NLD. You have Welbz I'm guessing though.

Herrera no, if there's low faith in Rooney to score when he's in the hole, can't see how Herrera could outscore the lot of ManU attacking options. Even it is West Ham. At that price range a nice Tadic will do w/ good form & fixture. At least there If SoTo scores, he's bound to be involved in SOME way.

Downing, cheap punt against a mediocre ManU backline w/ low team morale & chemistry. You got come balls mah friend. I like that Downing punt, nice little ManU teabag also 😉

Pick Hazard... only 13% own him

I'm a WHU fan...Downing has been great in his new role at the tip of the diamond but Kouyate is out for a while now so Downing will likely be pushed back a bit as there's not a natural replacement for Kouyate

i think silva is better pick than those and still allows u to b different......or noble for cheapo

Thumbs up…I jumped on the bandwagon.

defo the best under 6.0 priced fwd option and 100% nailed. Still thinking about bringing him in

Great option. Can easily start or be the first sub regardless of fixture, and will be nailed on until christmas, unlike Naismith. I didn't hesitate to swing the trade to bring him in.

had the same issue before GW 4 (I guess you mean the price rise). Wanted to do Mata-Fab and hesitated a bit too long, could then not do it and went for another trsf that brought me nothing. Not making that same mistake again

tough call, prob Siggy

Ulloa

Ramsey, wtf?! Maybe next week at Chelsea but surely not in the NLD!

I'm benching Siggy this week, though I have to say, his head-to-head comparison with Ulloa was much closer than expected, even for the more attacking stats. Tough choice, and you can't go wrong with either imo. I just think Palace are a bit leakier and vulnerable to Leicesters pace and aerial threats than Sunderland are at home.

great team. prob siggy?

Sigz

QPR are still gonna get punished by the Football League... Uefa aren't the only body imposing financial rules you know 😉

Exactly. Avoiding drops and earning even 0.1 can make a big difference down the line.

Sitting at 103.2 now....

What's your TV at trigger?

im hating the inaccuracy of the predicor sites....a big part of my strategy is building up tv before jan wc but this year havnt been able to do it as effectively....101.8 atm.....would usually b at least 103 by now

i.e. pick 1 of each 😀

Chambers and Sigurdsson imo

Naylor,
&
Ulloa 100%

C
1

C2 for me

Flip a coin probably. I prefer Pelle

i would feel uncomfortable not having Pelle against QPR. Or do you already have Tadic?

Hard choice, I would hypothetically land on tails which is Ulloa's face

Pelle but very close

Easily Pelle for me.If you get Ulloa you will have to waste another transfer getting rid of him when his form drops(which eventually will happen).

I'm still betting on them to do well, although admittedly I have ditched their defense

Not sure I want Fabregas at 9.4 when I can get Hazard at 10 or maybe 9.9 by tommorow. Tough decision...

Surely not

Ulloa's have very nice fixtures & the latest in fashion

Both have good fixtures but it's my natural instinct to bet against the defender unless its Baines or Ivanovic

Honestly your team already looks good to go

i would only do Ramsey to Tadic and keep that other transfer, nothing wrong with Bego atm

I might of swapped bego for Forster but after the price change tonight I'd say your good to go!
