The ScoutCast – Episode 144 – Squeaky

It’s “squeaky bum time” in the ScoutCast studio as Granville continues to chip away at my previously “unassailable” mini-league lead. My co-host stumbled through an injury-strewn Gameweek 12 with the honours, leaving me trailing and worrying that he’ll have clawed it all back by Christmas.

Pressing on, we flog the Hazard vs Fabregas debate once again and run the rule over a cast of budget strikers, desperately searching for the optimum way to spend the two transfers burning holes in our pockets.

We asses the week’s transfer bandwagons, look ahead to Gameweek 13 and take time out to tease Jonty on his Di Maria u-turn. We then combine “powers” to terrifying effect and prepare the ScoutCast XI for their Fantasy Football Scout Cup qualifying round, having flexed its muscles to the tune of a 59-point Gameweek 12. Intimidating stuff.

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

    Moving forward I know my defence is below par.

    Hi deadzone!

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Baines*, Ivan, Naylor (Chambers, Duff*)
    Di Maria, Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy (Boyd)
    Aguero, Austin, Sakho*

    1 FT, 0.1m

    Could be missing 3 players this week but luckily I have a strong bench, should I save? Ideally I want to change Forster to Adrian or Fabianski but I really want to get Caulker in for his fixtures and added goal threat too.

              Should be until Fernandez is back. Who knows, if he puts on a few good performances in that time and swans keep some clean sheets, he might even be able to hold onto the spot for a little longer. Can always switch to s.taylor (who's now fit again) if he doesn't.

        Thanks rick

        Just got a feeling I need to be on Man U over this next period. Di Maria is still involved in much of their attacking play.

        Had baines since gw1 so don't lose him lightly but injury doubts tipped the balance for me and I feel he has slightly out performed his norm this year. He will of course continue to be one of the best defensive choices so I expect to bring him back into the fold at some point.

          I can't help but feel as if United will struggle against really deep defensive teams like hull and stoke, and then they play saints, liverpool, etc... which will be tough games for them. He'll probably pick up points but i'm not sure he's worth 10m when downing is 4m cheaper...

    Would appreciate some opinions on Crouch (more for draft league than FPL)...

    He was nailed-on with decent stats for Stoke as their main striker before his red card, but was benched for Diouf in their last game vs Burnley... Tough fixtures coming up, but maybe this is a good time to try to get him on the cheap?

    The guy who owns him has Giroud and Costa as well, so Crouch is expendable for him, but what's the right amount to give up for him?

    I have Coloccini, Lamela, Milner, J-Rod, Balotelli, and Remy potentially tradeable...

        Surely Remy>Crouch is a good deal though? Remy might see a game here and there but Drogba is also competing for the No.2 spot... I got Remy from FA's afterall

        I do rate j-rod highly, as he was the 9th highest scoring striker in fantrax last season iirc, and with spurs he could flourish again.

        Great point from Bredrin about Moses too, makes Crouch more nailed-on actually, even though his fixtures aren't great.

        Do you think Giroud is worth going for though? He's not really nailed-on at all with Welbeck, Sanchez, and now Sanogo, plus Walcott offering alternatives...

          if you can get giroud and crouch for any 2 of ballo/jrod/remy i think you'll have done marvellous-act now before giroud starts scoring more....-try remy/ballo for crouch/giroud but i wouldn't take it -i'd need jrod in the mix if i was on the recieving end

            Yeah i'll give it a go. The problem is that he's got 3 strikers, so the reason for trading would be to go down to 2.. he already offered me Crouch for Lamela for example...

            So I'm guessing it would take something like Lamela+Remy/Balotelli/J-Rod to get Crouch+Giroud...

                Thanks for the help mate. I've just sent the offer, Balotelli+Remy for Crouch+Giroud.

                Makes decent sense actually since he has Costa aswell, and Remy can be his 3rd striker to cover for Costa when he gets suspended or rested, and Giroud and Crouch are both rotation risks, and in Crouch's case has poor fixtures to boot. 😉

        I also think Balotelli is worth more than Crouch. He hasn't been great but he could turn it on properly in the 2nd half of the season when Sturridge is back, whereas you know Crouch is just going to bounce along and get a grand total of 5 goals for his season...

            yeah, i traded my 4th round draft pick for balotelli (who got drafted in the 3rd round) as i wanted a premium striker, and he was the closest i could get to one that late in the draft. meh
