Not so merry, certainly not so high – my rank took a tumble and my co-host rival has taken advantage: in an extraordinary Gameweek, Granville is now breathing down my neck with just two points between us. It’s a nightmare before Christmas.

Not surprisingly, much of this festive ScoutCast is given up to Granville’s ascent, his six million dollar man – Charlie Austin – and the failings of my faith in Diego Costa.

Around all that, we preview the Boxing Day schedule, cast an eye over the Scout leagues and assess the merits of the current transfers bandwagons. I even have time to throw in another Jose Mourinho conspiracy theory. Hey, let me have my fun – I needed cheering up.

Merry Christmas to all!

    Hi guys ... any renewed faith in Baines this week

    1. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      He is DUE.

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Sadly no. Just can't see past the next three fixtures and not thinking it's worthwhile to get rid. Begrudgingly will keep for the time being.

      1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        yeah thats where i am at too

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      He's in all the scout picks, so it looks like it.

    4. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 12 months ago

      Nope

    5. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Last week this, if he blanks i'm doing Baines and Chambers to Terry and Azpi.

      1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        that actually looks good anyway

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah it is tempting

          1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 11 months ago

            maybe include a man city defender

            1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 11 months ago

              Trouble is their rotation, only Kompany would be of interest

      2. Podge
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I'm thinking of getting rid of Terry, horrible fixtures

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          How can a Chelsea defender have horrible fixtures?

          1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Was thinking this but could not bother to ask

  5. DaddyPig
    • 11 Years

    Downing to Sterling? Surely Sterling is due a run of goals?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No I wouldn't. Raheem more likely to miss 1/3 games over Christmas and besides Bournemouth game his form isn't good and not close to Downing.

      1. DaddyPig
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks mate. Well put! I'll shop around.

      Depends on team, rather Pants over any SUN def.
      Probably B or C from those.

      1. gmrit3
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I'm happy with Fabianski between the sticks

    2. Revival

      Vergini, got a bonus point against Newcastle

  7. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Just to pick up on my RVP comment above and how concerning it was that he got subbed off on 60 mins with the scores at 1-1.

    SAF loved RVP and was quick to tell the world and his wife all about his love. Since LVG has been manager I have seen many comments about some similar kind of love between LVG and RVP, but actually I've never heard a word from LVG about him...have we just imagineered it on the basis that they are both Dutch or have I missed something ?...Is he actually in his long term plans ?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      When RVP has been fully fit, he has played 100% of the time.

      That tells you everything you need to know.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        But to be fair Falcao hasn't been fit for the vast majority of that time, so he would have done. Why did he sub him off on 60 mins last week at 1-1...

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          To keep him fresh for the two upcoming games. And to get Falcao up to speed.

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 11 months ago

            mmmm...yeah...plausible...in fact probabaly.

      Who is the player you are most worried about not owning this gw?

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        RVP/ADM and Giroud I am most worried about

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Giroud.

      3. A.T
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Sorry reply fail there Wakey.

    3. Chambo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He subbed RVP off in the world cup against Mexico when they needed to score, I thought it was weird but it worked in the end

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah he did..LVG strikes me as a bit of a crackpot at times anyway...

    4. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Is long term this season?
      Cause I fon't think LvG is a long term deal for Utd, he rarely pro-longs his contracts. Actually he often quit ahead of schedule.

      But yes i think there is chemistry between them and Utd have not much else, the colombian necktie is too old already with a injury list longer than santas beard and wont stay longer then necessary

  9. The Gambler.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Season high of top 1600 rank, but expecting a low score this week, any suggestions?

    Foster
    Ivanovic, Azpil, Clichy
    Sanchez, Silva, Downing,Hazard
    Rooney, Benteke, Austin

    (*Krul, Hutton, Marney, Wisdom)

    Obvious transfer?

    A) Krul > Panti
    B) Haz > Fabs
    C) Rooney > Giroud
    D) Save TF

  10. Norco
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Thinking of ditching Costa for Giroud this week. I have Sanchez also but not entirely confident.

    Costa > Giroud © for free?

    Fabianski
    Baines Clichy Hutton (Cresswell Moore)
    Sanchez Fabregas Yaya Siggy (Boyd)
    GIROUD Bony Sakho

  11. golly28
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone considering dropping Rooney because of his withdrawn position?

    1. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      yes, thing is though, he usually still pops up with points

      with falcao and ADM back, Rooney could play in the hole?

      1. golly28
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        That's my worry especially with potential 'easy' run of games

      2. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        this. I mentioned it last week and it was brought to my attention than even when he plays deep he does something. the question is whether you can handle the anxiety of waiting for him to get his chance in front of goal

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Don't seem him as a good option long term, but would keep for now until everyone else fully fit

    3. Gascoigne8
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Have you seen his stats though? Better than most, even though he's withdrawn.

  12. RangerMouse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Guzan (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta - Baines - Clichy (N. Taylor, Yun)
    Sanchez - Downing - Siggy - Hazard( Boyd)
    Bony - Costa - Austin

    1FT 0mill spare, any changes?

    1. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      you must be itching to boot Costa? or is he 'due'?? 🙂

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      You have 2 subs so probably save.

    3. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Same as me, but I've got Zabaleta/Panti instead of Guzan/Clichy. Nothing urgent, save FT.

      1. A.T

        I'm not worried. He's my captain 😉

  14. pressdpm
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Not sure whether to save my transfer or not:

    De Gea
    Zabaleta / Cahill / Baines / Taylor
    Fabregas / Siggy / Sanchez
    Bony / Austin / Costa

    Bench: McCarthy, duff, downing, jedinak

    Really tempted to get giroud in but can't face dropping any strikers. Maybe get rid of bony as he's off soon?

    1. RamaJama

    How many of the 3 last games will Bony play? Gomis needs pitch time...

    1. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      All of them, he'll get plenty when Bony nashes off to Africa

      1. The Gambler.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        2 max

        1. Just A Wooden Spoon
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Wrong, all of them.

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Why?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Had his time off last week. They'll need him away to Liverpool and to out score Charlie on NYD

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      It's a tough one isn't it. It depends on how Monk views it. Personally I'd play Gomis for one of them for the reason you say..on the other hand Monk may think it better to maximise Bony's playing time. Last weekend was a bit of a strange benching so I suspect he thinks that Gomis needs game time..

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        This, max 2 games. Prepare to get rid.

      2. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I am not seeing this
        How is giving him game time now better than when bony is away.
        If it is to get him up to match fitness then it is going to impact on any game he plays, plus if you play him now and he gets injured they have nothing left when bony leaves

          Yep..you can look at it two ways..Only Monk knows really.

          If he was gonna max out on Bony then he could have played him last week..and Boxing day..with Gomis on Sunday and Bony again next week. I'm just saying that benching him last week seemed odd and would tend to make me think he's going to play Gomis in another game again (Sunday).

    I'm not quite getting this "family meal" at Christmas. When is it supposed to be? I thought it was around lunch time on 25 Dec but some had it tonight

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years

      People have different strands of family they have to see, and so end up having multiple Xmas meals.

    1. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Save, bench probably needs 1 more reliable player but not enough money to make that happen

      1. Timtastic03
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Care to weigh in on this one: Silva Sterling or AdM? Probably up until the WC and good chance I may get a second from the list before the weekend

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Until ADM gets a game or 2 under his belt I'd go Sterling

  26. Oz lotto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    has there been a Swansea presser? Bony expected to start?

    1. Davido989

    3. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      ramajama is asking questions about pitch time for Gomis ahead of Bony's departure... but I guess what that last weekend was

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        But Gomis needs pitch time so Wouldn't be to sure of rotation again..

  27. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Play Downing or Austin?

    1. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Austin easily

    2. Hank Scorpio
      • 13 Years

    6. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years

  29. Federico
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Allright, one last question before I head off.

    I have no playing backup for Guzan, and I have a non playing third sub. What needs fixing first?

    A) Sub keeper
    B) Third sub

    Merry Christmas to all you guys 🙂

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Happy Christmas mate

      B

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Keeper. Third sub has 12 subs 😉

      1. Federico
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, but we could see a lot of outfield players rested in the coming weeks. Keepers (Guzan) are generally nailed on I guess?

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Guzan will play so strengthen your bench

  30. golly28
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Call me crazy but considering 3 changes (-8 hit)

    Guzan
    Terry - clichy - chambers - (wisdom - duff)
    Yaya - Hazard - Downing - Siggs - (Walters)
    Costa - Rooney - Bony

    Option 1 (-8)

    Siggs > Sterling
    Walters > Cazorla
    Rooney > Austin (rest this week)

    Option 2 (-4)

    Siggs > Sterling
    Rooney > Giroud

    Thoughts?

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      with all the rotation worries, i wouldn't take a hit this week. But of your options, I like 2 the most

    2. r0scr0w
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I have similar dilemma.

      I think i'm going to do Roon > Giroud and hold it at that.
