The ScoutCast – Episode 165 – Wildboys

What do we reckon are the chances of McCarthy permanently ousting Speroni?

Play Huth (TOT) or Cedric (wat)?

Dafabet have Sunderland as firm favorites to get relegated.

Sunderland shirt sponsors - Dafabet

Best forward for up to 5.0 mil?

GW1 - 1.8m
GW2 - 2.2m (red arrow)

Red or green this week?

Help me out on this one folks?

A) Richards
B) Ward

finishing my WC.

need feedback:

Wanyama + Payet (have Sakho)
or
Hoolahan + Ayew

Hoolahan/ Wanyama will most likely be on my bench at all time.
So question is more if Payet will outscore Ayew, and issues about double up on WestHam

A. Skrtel - Richards/Prödl/Huth(have Schmeichel)
B. Williams - Gomez

Morning all. Trying to get my head round whether it's better to go with Courtois and Mahrez or Butland and Ayez. No other Swansea players.

Other keeper is McCarthy.

Any advice much appreciated.

Morning all,

Any thoughts on the below WC team?

Butland / McCarthy

Kolarov / Richards / Ward / Smith / S Taylor

Hazard / Sanchez / Ayew / Mahrez / Toure

Kone / Aguero / Gomis

0.0ITB

I know the defense is a bit weak but i really think Either Hazard or Sanchez will explode soon. Obviously need Kun as well...

Plan is to play 3 - 5 -2

If Berahino (6.5) go Spurs, would you get him?

Clyne or Shaw? Clyne looks like he has a licence to get forward..

Thoughts? Rooney, Stirling & Merts . Aguero, Mahrez and Kolarov for a - 8?

Butland(McCarthy)
Azpilicueta Targett Gomez Huth Bellerín
Ayew Mahrez Yaya Touré Sánchez Payet
Kone Benteke Agüero (C)

Quick feedback please. Payet or Ayew > Chadli ? and Upgrade Kone to Deeney

Trying to squeeze 0.2m out of my WC team to get to this:

Myhill, McCarthy
Kolarov, Dawson, Gomez, Richards, Muniesa
Hazard, Sanchez, Yaya, Mahrez, Wanyama
Aguero, Gomis, Sakho

Richards > Francis at 4.4 and Dawson to Fazio at 4.9 if nailed would do it.

Thoughts?

What Formation is everyone playing 4-4-2 or 3-4-3 I read few days ago the top 1000 mostly used 4-4-2 ?

In truth to this ?

My head is fried. Help

Cech----Butland

Darmian Azpil Ward Richards Gomez

Depay Ozil Toure Punch Kouyate

Aguero Bentekkers Deeney

If price changes force my hand (which they probabyly will) thoughts on the below?

A) Yaya and Gestede
B) Sterling and Gestede
C) Silva and Wilson
D) Silva and Defoe

First to 5 wins !

Team news section states Tadic might be dropped since he didn't play yesterday. Wasn't he just rested?

Dier played last 2 as DM...how nailed on is he?

A) 3-4-3 with Kompany, Westwood and Diouf/Sakho
OR
B) 3-5-2 with Kolarov, Ayew and Ighalo

Aguero and Gomis as the other strikers.

Any truth in Austin to Sunderland, anyone?

What does everyone think of Ritchie for Bournemouth? Watching the Liverpool game he looked very lively. Was influential in everything, hit the post even and looking at his numbers has had loads of touches in the box, chances created etc. He’s on set pieces, had a price drop and looking at the ticker his next 6 look very appealing. Thoughts as a differential who will start to kick on? I’m putting him in to free cash for Kun, can’t see what’s not to like.

Some price prediction sites expected no rise tonight.

Hope more transfers will come this afternoon.

I've just read a sky sports article on Gnabry. They suggest that he will get opportunities at West Brom. What do you guys think? He looked good in the brief glimpses I saw of him at Arsenal

The Captain Poll asks 'Who is the best captain this week'. I've always wondered,do people vote for the person they think is the best captain in isolation to their team (which I assume is the purpose) or in terms of who they have and they are captaining?

In any event,it's a strange week for captains imo. I have a feeling that Everton will turn up for one of their customary big home games,and while I think City should win,Aguero will be limited to a goal. If he scores and they win by a tight margin you're looking at a nice haul (especially in the points barren Wk1-2) of 16-18 as (C).

This week however is a great week to 'gamble' on the (C) imo. It's hardly a plum fixture for Aguero and I think options such as Sanchez/Rooney and even Payet offer potentially higher returns. Having watched Gomez struggle for Liverpool the other night,I think Sanchez could run riot and I certainly fancy Arsenal to put a couple past Liverpool at home. Rooney and flavour of the week Memphis have what we would generally consider a plum fixture in Newcastle at home. The proviso with this however is that Rooney is bang out of form and Memphis has scored two great goals against a godawful team in Brugge.

Sanchez is the best (C) for me,followed closely by Rooney/Memphis. Aguero is the safe option,no doubt about that,but his returns have a ceiling for me this week,where the other boys are only limited by their own form. I've got a sneaking suspicion that even if a goal goes in off his over-sized arse,Rooney is going to help himself to a couple of goals Saturday lunchtime.

Rate My Wildcard Team:

Butland, McCarthy
Kolarov, Darmian, Muniesa, Huth, Targett
Sanchez, Silva, Depay, Payet, Mahrez
Aguero, Gomis, Graham

How's this for a wc team:

Courtois(McCarthy)

Richards, Clark, Targett, Martin, Oxford

Silva, Yaya, Sanchez, Mahrez, Wanyama

Aguero, Rooney, Defoe

Giving last chance for Rooney this weekend.
