The ScoutCast – Episode 148 – Harried

8 January 2015 3291 comments

Mark

Granville and I make a New Year return to the ScoutCast studio, battered and bruised by the events of Gameweek 20 which saw us both inexplicably bench Harry Kane and his 18-point haul.

Having wasted our big differential and haunted by constant reminders, my co-host and I struggle to make a recovery. Spitting the pips from our sour grapes, we do our best to justify our doomed decision-making, before attempting to salve the wounds with talk of the Winter Wildcard refresh around the usual batch of regulars.

Feel the frustration via this link or swallow the bitter pill via the handy player below…

Aguero comes on for 20min, gets an assist, goal, or both.

A) Wildcard immediately
B) Silva + Costa > Aguero + Cesc (-4)

Kane Austin other strikers.

Should I double up on Terry and Azpi, or replace the latter with Zab?

Also have Hutton starting and Dummet on bench.

Many thanks, one and all!

  No - double CHS is overdoing it with cheaper options about. Zaba is certainly living on borrowed time though.
  
  Worth getting Bert imo.

Repost

A) Hart -> Heaton
B) Zaba -> Trippier/Debuchy

Both leave enough cash for Silva/Austin -> Boyd/Kun next week. Planning to WC after GW22 so only 2 games to consider, but with my defence looking poor next week I'd probably need to start whichever defender I bring in this week for the next 2 weeks.

Hart
Terry, Zaba, Wisdom
Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Eriksen
Costa, Austin, Kane

Elliot, Downing, Hutton, Chambers

RE: Kun placeholder for WC, with City next 2 fixtures after this gameweek being 'ARS' home and 'che' away, even if his fit for ARS, would you bring him in then , or wait until after the Chelsea game ?

Reason I ask is I'm not sure who to go for now for the placeholder, Giroud is good for a 1 week punt (STK) home, but then has City away, RVP is tricky this week vs SOT home but then has 2 easy games after (qpr)away and then LEI home

So basically Giroud for 1 week then get Kun next week ? Or RVP get 3 decent fixtures and give Kun time to settle in and warm up ?

  He was close to the drop threshold, something like 93% when I went to bed 3 or so hours before the deadline so yes could have expected it. Certainly is nerve wracking waiting for that ever present wc wrecking 0.1m drop to pop by 😆

Most of the posts here seem to be potential wildcard teams to be played in 2 or 3 weeks.

They will all change by then, guaranteed. Injuries, red cards, and calamaties will all happen between now and then

I guess everyone is just bored!

        It depends on how your cash is spread around. You could be chasing your tail for weeks trying to reallocate funds where you want them, whereas you can do it in one fell swoop with the WC. I want to assess the likes of Walcott and perhaps Sturridge before I play mine.

I have a midfield of Silva, Yaya, Hazard, Downing and Boyd. I need to replace Yaya. Should I play safe and buy Sanchez or ADM or go for a differential? I would like to take a two-week punt as I will play WC after GW 22.. Coutinho, Chadli?

I don't understand why more people seem to prefer Lescott over McAuley. I like that thepuntmaster picked him this week. His stats are better than Lescott. Or Wisdom.

  Maybe if you don't have Austin. having 2 striker spots depending on QPR and Burnley attack isn't that wise personally.

Eriksen has better fixtures, cheaper, help us solve 3 Chelsea players quota (Chelsea def, Haz, Costa)

    Its all about the budget. I agree with you and if Aguero were fit it would enhance your opinion.
    Chadli and Kane should be enough Spurs men without Eriksen.

  I ve had Eriksen for a month now. The stats on FFS are spot on. If Chadli plays, Eriksen's output reduces by a huge margin. Mainly because silly Chadli is always inside the box before anyone else. I am thinking of doing Eriksen to Chadli when I wildcard.

If you wanted to save 0.5m on a wildcard would you downgrade...

Bertrand to Aldy
Or
Hutton/wisdom to wasi

  Hutton.
  
  Not sure if Wisdom is nailed on, but if he is and WBA start getting more clean sheets, his value will go up while others most probably will do Hutton>Wisdom trade.

  Baines out would be the logical choice, but there aren't many solid cleansheets around. A manu/arsenal defender is just hit and miss though both look good for a cs.
  
  I would actually get mcauley if I were you

i have Barnes as a forward bencher for 3 weeks.
ADM a risk and Barnes to cover.
RVP in until Aguero but only after Chelsea game.

Resulting in:
ADM Fab Haz Chadli Sanchez
Kane RVP (Barnes)

Question for members, does anyone know how rate my team works in terms of benching players and captains? For example, Sanchez has a higher predicted score than Haz this week, but RMT still tells me to captain Haz. Similarly, Hutton has a higher predicted score than Chambers, but it suggests playing Chambers over Hutton.
