Scoutcast Episode 322 – Tackling the Blank Gameweek

If you didn't have Aguero, I would say A, because I'm considering that as well. But since you have Aguero, B.

Heh that looks pretty awefull...if i were you i'd go C but with extra hit for a GK...try one with confirmed fixture in 31 so that gives you an option not to FH if Liverpool get knocked out in FA cup by Chelsea

Ryan imo

If you are not 100% set to FH in 31 go with keeper that have a fixture in 31

Other posters have been commenting that thats a 'hold' until news of a potential Double GW for City becomes clearer

I'd rather hold Kevin

C with Barnes. Wouldn't sell KDB.

C for sure

Definitely C--not sure which LEI midfielder though

I'd go with C - Maddison.

Maddi is in poor form atm but i personaly (even tho he is backed by many here and is playing good lately) don't like Barnes...he is electric and good on eye test but i just think he lacks end product...something like Traore last year.

Maddi on the other hand is nailed for 90 every game, got direct and indirect set play and if Lei find some form he will also find some points.

Yeah I got caught out too 🙁

Same, worst transfer of the season, captained him twice as well

Actually he wasn't a bad transfer...just unlucky one...he could have had huge hauls last few games but was really unlucky. As a non owner it was really hard to watch him those games.

Some Man U fans I think

Not here. City has one of the best upcoming fixture runs in the league.

Only Man utd fans

Basically yes, no chance to get Doherty or Pereira tho?

No. So many better options than Digne atm.

Much rather go Chilwell or Jonny over Digne

Dropped - doubtful. Injured - maybe.

Even if he isn't dropped i think that he is 1-2 bad games away from being benched for Giroud.

Boly for the next few gws
Who would you transfer out to get e.g. Barnes?

Both likely to be subbed at 60mins if playing badly...Barnes got some form on his side but his end product is very bad.

1) Will ALONSO*** play

1) very risky IMO
2) no, they can play Traore Doherty and Jota in a 343 at Dendocker's expense
3) should do, I'm bringing Barnes in as I can see him doing well
4) there is life in the old dog yet - last shot at ever realistically winning the PL golden boot

1) Imposible to say...my guess is that he have a decent chance to start as he and Chealse looked very good against Spurs

2) Again hard to say...i brought in raore for Son last GW and was very surprised to see him benched...was it only tactical, was it shoulder injury that Traore have or something else noone knowes

3) I have no faith in Barnes...reminds me of last year Traore or this year James .... good on the eye but no end product

4) I gambled on Vardy and didn't remove him...he was very bad last few gameweeks nad lucky for me the rest of the team did well enough so i could carry him...now with good fixtures i will give him few more games and hope that Lei will up their game and push for that 2nd spot

Long term the (-4) hit is worth it.

It probably is not just for this gw

I wouldn't do it for -4. Even if Doherty gets a CS, Dendocker is an easy 2 (or 3 if Doherty gets the 6). That's breaking even if you think Wolves can keep Spurs out of goal completely.

this weeks fixture is not too good for wolves, so i would rather do it next week and play DD now.

Playing UCL fantasy?

On the 8th of March vs UTD at Old Toilet?

C) Suggest Boly instead of Saiss for Holgate

B - although Boly is worth a thought. Saiss is cheaper and in better form. But they have a nice run of fixtures coming up whereas Everton does not.

Hayden to Barnes and Lundstram to Evans possible?

After this GW

4th or 5th March.

thanks

A

If Chelsea have given up in CL, they could help. Needed a 6-0 to be sure.
Arsenal scenario more likely.

Yes Arsenal would have to be knocked out of Europe for them to have a DGW29.

Apparently they could and have in the past made provisional announcements. The game wouldn't be officially moved but they could say that in the event of City or Chelsea progressing in the FA Cup that the game would be moved.

That means 9 games in 20 days for City, correct?

I cannot see this happening.

-8 when you have that much money in the bank seems unwise, surely you can do it with 2 and just keep Gomez.

That's pretty tempting. I feel like having both Salah and Mane will cause you Captaincy angst....otherwise it's a good set of moves

Absolutely not.

No.

How much can you sell Rico for? Can you do him > Lascelles for free?

B Traore
C Salah

a1

C

Rico > Lascelles

assuming you can't stretch to just Rico -> Taylor? doesn't seem worth using both of your FTs on cheapo defenders

Lil bit since we will get better idea of blank and double next week, worth holding for one more GW if possible

It's trickier but not madness

Yes

29 or post 31 imo. Can’t see a wildcard paying off this week

Could set yourself up for 28 and 31 numbers wise quite easily. Really depends how bad your team is and how quick you'll change it after GW31 when DGWs etc are known.

Too early

Looks good but depends on if Vardy finds form against Norwich. A haul and it’s hard to remove him before Villa for a hit

only if Auba has a DGW

How can we stop you mate?

Just think about the coronavirus, impending climate catastrophe, or the fleeting and essentially pointless nature of human existence to take your mind off it

Mane shouldnt go up today so you should be fine to hold off any decisions until tomorrow at least

Play Cantwell over one of Rico or Williams
