The ScoutCast – Episode 73 – Gylfi Pleasure

No Gylfi pleasure for me, Dempsey heartbreak more like. A trip to the Cottage inspired the decision to throw my FPL armband the way of Captain America, only for Sigurdsson to steal the thunder and banish me to a miserable tube ride home.

Mark lends an (un)sympathetic ear in this latest episode, as we roll through the regulars whilst discussing how we’re all heading back to the drawing board for our third striker solution.

      If it's for free I'd say just do it now. Otherwise I'd give Young another chance as I think he's likely to play the next game.

    Silva to Sess and Ba to Suarez worth a 4 point hit?

    That would make : Rooney, RVP and Suarez up front, and Dempsey, Sess, Sig, Bale and Valencia in the Mid.

    Thoughts....also any other suggestions for Ba to someone else with 2.7 banked

    having a headache with my team this gw.

    basically, this is what I think I'm doing:

    lescott & dempsey > gibbs & gerrard

    then next week: morrison & ba > dempsey & graham.

    Its either madness, or really shrewd. i am playing the fixtures, getting dempsey back for norwich next week, i want gerrard in for the wigan game. it's the only way around it. i would be benching dempsey this week anyway. i know it's taking hits and losing money on dempsey etc etc but it's my team and it's the only way I'll be happy with it 😀

    the other option was lescott > verm & bale > gerrard.

    Hi guys!

    My team for next week:

    ______________Reina_____________

    Caulker__Enrique____Skrtel___Jevans

    Walcott__Valencia (C)___Siggy___Bale

    ____Rooney (V)______RVP_________

    (Vorm; P. Cisse, Dempsey, S. Kelly)

    Looking forward to it, only Bale plays away...

    Valencia too risky for (C)? What do you think?

      Don't captain valencia. He' not gonna pull 16 points again that's for sure. More likely to just chip in with an assist or two. Go with RVP or Rooney. You're likely to get burnt otherwise.

              By a co-op that reduces it's food at the same time I come home from uni so only about 1.70 per decent sized steak.
              Not cheap but not breaking the bank to have it once a week.
