The ScoutCast – Episode 140 – Gloaty

After the best Gameweek tally in living memory, I reserve the right for a bit of a gloat. Having risked the Wildcard back in Gameweek 7, the stars aligned and everything fell into place last weekend, leaving my ScoutCast co-host, grumpy Granville, grabbing at straws and smashing TV sets in frustration.

After last season’s defeat, I revel in my moment of glory but still find time to lock horns with Granville over the great Costa debate. Is Jose playing with our minds? I certainly think so but, as Granville points out, I reckon the Lunar landings were fake. I love a good conspiracy, me.

Congratulate yourself via this link or bask in smugness via the handy player below…

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

        If fit and continues form then no reason not to.

        Blimey 😯 could've been a little more subtle 😉 I agree though, its far too soon to know for sure. Although at this stage with the form Oscar is in, I'd say he's first choice.

    So I have:

    Begovic | Krul
    Baines | Clyne | Ivanovic | N. Taylor | Moore
    Hazard | Sterling | Tadic | Sigurdsson | Boyd
    Costa | Welbeck | Pelle

    1 FT, 0.9 ITB.

    Do I...

    A. Kill off Costa/Ivan and bring in Kaboul/Aguero.
    B. Do something else horrible to Costa and another player of your choice to bring in Aguero.
    C. Keep Costa, replace Ivanovic with Coleman (this is definitely the baller move).
    D. Keep Costa and Ivan, but replace Hazard with Eriksen.
    E. Something something Trippier.

        Hes got one start all season. MacArthur plays centrally, no? Zaha is a winger or in the hole. Dont see how that injury will affect his position. I just think United will struggle to get points over the next month, admitting that ADM is pure class and all over it if United are going to get anything.

            Perhaps. But i feel like thats a decent sized "if". Even if he plays, its against WBA who have been pretty tight and Palace havent been good. Still just feel like getting rid of him is easier, and as crazy as it might sound to some people im looking to lose ADM before this run of fixtures.

              Yep - the fact that Zaha has been on the bench this long defies logic. But then again, logic does not follow Neil Warnock.

                Agreed. He`s an absolute tool that one. I also feel like hes a tad bit expensive for a 5th midfielder as well.

    Bit of advice please guys....

    McCarthy (Bego)

    Clyne-Dawon-Naylor (Moreno Moore)

    Fab-Sterling-Siggy-ADM (Boyd)

    Kun-Welbeck-Pelle

    2.9 ITB and 1FT. I really wanna get Baines in for Moreno but I am pretty happy with my starting 3 and even if the troll does have to come off the bench could get a CS...possibly. Should I

    A) Hang on to the FT
    B) Get Baines in now?

      Save the ft imo. Everton will concede imo..from a baines owner. Its not a pressing transfer so i would keep a transfer in case u want costa/sanchez in next week

        Yeah, all 4 defenders with decent home fixtures seems the wrong time to bringing Baines in. Will decide tomorrow. Cheers!

    Begovic, McCarthy
    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Moore, Duff
    Hazard, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Boyd
    Aguero, Costa, Pelle

    2 FT, .6 ITB, top 5k overall

    I'm seriously considering Costa > Welbeck this week so I can decide between Costa / Sanchez (for Siggy) next week... but I'm hesitant because of how badly I got burned last time I sold Costa.

    Any other suggestions?

        Looks like dropping to 11.0 tonight. If confirmed out this weekend he'll end up dropping more next week, mass exodus to Aguero.

      Will a price drop always mean you get less for a player? Slightly embarassed to say I'm not exactly sure how it works. I'd get £10.8m for Costa right now when he's worth £11.1...

        If you got him when was 10.5 then selling value will go down .1 when he next drops.
