The ScoutCast – Episode 137 – Precious

Hello

Pick 3 to play guys.
Clyne Naylor Duff Moreno Hutton?

Currently Clyne Moreno Duff

Thanks

John Terry, has he even had a header on target yet? 🙁

Foster

Cahill - PvA - N. Taylor

Hazard (C) - Siggy - Sterling - ADM

Ulloa - Rooney - Costa

Subs: Hendo - Hutton - Chester

Good to go?

Who would you put higher on the bench, Chambers[TOT] or Moore[cpl]?

You never know, I've needed the bench a lot this season already...

See a good post earlier about best strike partnerships, what about favourite first goalscorer bets , I remember a time when Van Nistelrooy Larrson and Henry used to be nuts , 3 x £5 doubles and a £5 treble came in for me so many times

Courtois - AVL (H)

Clyne - QPR (H) / Wisdom - BUR (H) / Moreno - EVE (H)

Sterling - EVE (H) / Fabregas - AVL (H) / Siggy - SUN (A) / Di Maria - WHU (H)

(VC) Costa - AVL (H) / (C) Pelle - QPR (H) / Rooney - WHU (H)

All set?? (Its not a wildcard). any transfers recommended? and is Pelle (C) too risky considering Costa's ownership?

Its so tempting to captain Pelle instead of Costa, but after captaining Tadic in GW3 and benching Fabregas in GW4 I could really do with a stress-free weekend with no risky moves.

That said benching Siggy in favour of Ulloa could backfire!

I'm benching Costa. Too much risk of him not playing.

Thinking welbeck captain, over costa, aguero fab di maria

good to go here lads?

Forster
Clyne, Wilson, Naylor
Di Maria, Ramsey, Sterling, Siggy
Kun, Costa(c), Welbeck

McCarthy, Boyd, PVA, Janmaat

Would love a QPR goal 😉

But in all seriousness, team looks great, FG. You don't fancy Tadic over Ramsey? Just putting it out there.

Play one of the following??

A - Siggy (SUN)
B - Schneiderlin (QPR)
C - Ulloa (CRY)

Lallana likely to start for Liverpool this week?

Guys,

Who do I ship for Baines in GW8 - Stoke or Swansea defender? am on Wildcard and am really struggling to decide. Am fVouring to get shot of Swansea (NYlor/Williams), but they have LEI fixture. Is really doing my head in. Need to make a choice. Any help appreciated !

Just watched the Singapore GP (had it recorded). Fantastic that Rosberg finally got a car problem to even it out with Hamiltion a bit 😀

Would anyone bench Baines in the derby match this weekend?

I'm going with Mane and Tadic in my draft time this week. Wish me luck! 😕

For some reason i rememebr my first ever dgw in my first season. I captained Laursen for Villa 2 clean sheats 24points. He was my only dgw player, i wasnt a serious player back then had balls of steel.

are we 100% convinced costa wont take pen duties from hazard?.....mourinho has alot of repuation staked in ensuring his premium signing gets 30+ goals....and altho it looks like hel get that regardless it wouldnt surprise me to see mour give him penos to ensure it happens......anyone know costas previous penalty taking history?.....is he known as a good penalty taker?

Ramsey & Bojan ( I know ) »»» Tadic & Pelle/ Welbeck for a -4 ??
Any reason not too ??

Anyone know who may rise tonight? (Rough guesstimate)

Draft team pick for this week. Two issues: A) Is this my best set up? B) Decision for captaincy

Begovic

Terry/Bertrand/PvA/Moreno

Mane/Tadic/Ramsey

RvP/Adebayor/Austin

Bench: Stones/Rose/Walcott/Lallana/Zaha

Cheers guys

What is a reasonable number of goals and assists to expect this season for Hazard, Fabragas and Costa.
I'll say
Costa: 24 goals, 4 assists
Hazard: 9 goals, 11 assists
Fabregas: 6 goals, 15 assists

Probably a fairly obvious move, right?

Balotelli & Moreno -> Costa & Chambers

2FT

Mannone or de gea to start with this week??

Why do so many people think the Man United attack is so important at the moment?

I wouldn't be surprised if West Ham win 1-0 or 2-1! 'Big Sam' is well known for his '18C football' and it doesn't seem too hard get goals from United's leaky back four/three.

What I find even harder to understand is why anybody would want Falcao ahead of Costa, Ulloa or Pelle?

1. Over the past 5 game-weeks all three have been consistently scoring equal to or greater to the 5 points Falcao managed last week.
2. They all offer much greater value for money and have solid teams behind them (that aren't ravaged by injury) to create goalscoring chances for them.
3. United have scored 9 goals in the last two games and Falcao was only involved in one of those goals, via an assist.

If I had to have a United player at the moment I would go for di Maria, he seems to be more closely involved in successful attacking moves and has scored well in the last two games.

(Despite not having either player) I stand by my prediction three weeks ago that Welbeck would at least match and likely highly outscore Falcao by January.

So far after 2 game-weeks: Welbeck 14 vs. Falcao 6 😉

Evening Gimps and Gimpesses. Don't often use the RMT is it normal for it to select a player which it predicts is going to score less than one on the bench. Surely that cannot be right?

Mata to Sterling for -4?

Why are Mark and Granville suggesting that Granville ought to have a go at being our Community Scout Picks Champion?

Surely the Mods and Contributors are ineligible - I haven't noticed other Scouts such as Evs or TM attempting to be our Champion.

If Granville or other Mods and Contributors want contribute to the Scout Picks process then they should advise or replace one of the other three Scouts instead.

Rank Wilson (NEW), Duff (wba) and Taylor (sun) for this weekend. Keep swapping them round. Wilson currently ranked last for me due to Stoke being so leaky although on paper it's the best fixture ... Help me out guys!
