The ScoutCast – Episode 62 – Crazy Talk

17 November 2011 1491 comments

Granville

Yes, that’s right, crazy talk. There’s a lot of it about in this week’s ScoutCast episode – most of it originating from Mark’s chattering. Transfer in three defenders for a four point hit? Spend big money on Leighton Baines, dumping last season’s top Fantasy scorer? Has he finally lost the plot?

This is what an international break does to you. Suffering from cold turkey and with two free transfers burning away in the pocket, a Fantasy manager has to fight the jerky knee. In my own moment of madness, I even find myself trying to talk Mark out of his hasty moves.

Listen in on the lunacy, accompanied by the usual regulars, accompanied with another excavation of that Robin Van Persie assist – we just won’t let it lie.

Hazardous Liege '76
14 years, 1 month ago
Team is

Vorm ( Given )
Enrique Walker ShawX ( Simpson Shorey )
Mata Silva VDV Rodwell ( Dyer )
Suarez Sturridge RVP (C)

1 FT – no cash in the bank

Undecided as to whether to

A Given to Westwood – bench Vorm – need to get rid of Given anyhow
B Shorey to Turner – bench Enrique
C Shorey to McCauley – Bench Enrique
D Suarez to Adebayour – play defence as they are
E Suarez to Bendy – again play defence as they are
F One of Suarez changes as they are but use surplus to go Shorey to Jags for a 4 point hit

Need to make a decision so any help would be great?!

  I am probably (maybe stupidly) keeping faith with Suarez. Will be keeping a close eye on whether he gets suspended though.

Is it worth doing Dunne -> P Jones for free tonight before the price rise, even if Jones doesn't make it into my starting 11? 2nd question, should Jones make it into this starting 11 this week?

Westwood
Woodgate, Wilkinson, Brown
Silva, VDV, Ramsey, Moses
RVP, Aguero, Adebayor

Subs: Ruddy, Sinclair, Dunne, Simpson

  I grabbed P.Jones at the start of this round to avoid a price rise. Originally intended on using my WC, but probably just going to take the 4 point hit now and keep the WC.

On 2nd thoughts - I think I might still use the WC...

Dyer->Drenthe
Agbonlahor -> 6.0m FWD

(and if I use the WC maybe move on Ruddy too)

Which could leave me

Vorm (Ruddy?)
P.Jones Kompany Shawcross (Enrique Simpson)
Silva VdV Drenthe Ramsey Pilkington
Suarez RvP (Hoilett/Holt/???)

For a differential...and to give me some cash to upgrade another midfielder too in the future..(and considering the dodgy hamstring)...

would VDV to Bale be a terrible transfer this week?

I know VDV is the bigger points scorer..I brought him in, after all so I'm obv a fan! But Bale isn't doing badly either at the mo and does play 90 mins a week

Which one would you buy of:

Rangel
Simpson
Ward
Williams

Already have Vorm (Swans) and Taylor R (Newcastle), no Wolves players

Rest of back row are Jones, Kompany, Jose

Struggling this week, thinking about using WC.

Current team:

Given (Vorm)
Jose Enrique - Assou Ekotto - Jones - Simpson (De Laet)
Ramsey - SIlva - VDV - Nani - (Sinclair)
Agbonlahor - Adebayor - Suarez

Thinking of shifting

Suarez ----> RVP
Agbonlahor ----> Bendtner
Given ----> Westwood
Sinclair ----> Dyer
Ramsey ----> Drenthe

I Have 2 free transfers this week so my other option is to get rid of Nani to allow for RVP.

Either way I need to get him in my team somehow.

Any help is appreciated.

Hernandez or Dzeko? I've no Man Utd coverage

Also do people think Vermaelen is worth 6.7million?

Given, (Ruddy)
Kompany, Evans, Walker (Enrique) (simpson)
VDV, Silva, Ramsey, Moses (Dyer)
RVP, ADebayor, Suarez

Should I change Evans, and who for? any other glaringly obvious changes needed?
