The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Eight – Splutter

28 February 2013 2585 comments

Mark

The ScoutCast emerges from under the duvet, Lemsip soaked and coughing and spluttering its way towards a century of episodes. After a two-week break, the full crew are assembled as Granville joins me to celebrate his Gameweek victory, Professor Chris Atkinson returns from the slopes to charge up his “Rate My Team” computer and Jonty chips in with another community-powered “Full Jonty”.

Around this we discuss the unlikely scenario of selling on Robin, give our Scout League leaders a shout-out, analyse the transfer ins and outs in “All Aboard” and look ahead to the weekend’s programme.

The “Full Jonty” rounds things off as “Ginkapo” gets the treatment, prompting a love-in with a certain Serbian left-back.

Take the temperature of this latest episode via this link, or follow Doctors orders and stream your medicine via the player below…

I think it's wildcard time.

Pogrebnyak out. Sturridge, RVP & Fellaini, doubtful. Walcott, Cazorla, Evans & O'Brien potentially out gw29.

Could save it for dgw, but I think the stars are conspiring to say: push that button.

        Great fixtures but I don't want to bet on a striker in a relegation battle.
        
        This is a short term move anyway; will get Aguero back immediately.

    Save it for when? The dgw might well be strung out, and I expect I'll have the players I'd want in my team around then.

  Using it for 29 could leave your team in bad shape for the rest of the season. Keep it, hope a big double materializes, then use it and kick on into the top k.

        Ooh dodgy facts.
        
        I'm already annoyed at them for saying Liverpool at home isn't a winnable fixture for us and the computer's fixation with Everton (in addition to that of the socuts)!

I have 6 deffo out (plus punch and studge who may not play but cant factor that in yet, so have to lose 3 to field a full team). Current plan is: RVP, Dzeko, Fell > Lambert, Benteke, Snodders (my man!!). 4 point hit, but allows me to field 11, and more importantly leaves me with 10.4 million in the bank, allowing a pain free transfer for RVP for GW 30!

  If United go through v Real, I don't think I'll be getting him back in.
  
  Out of the last 9 GWs, he might only play 5 or 6.

    Im not too concerned about that, I dont think Fergie will rest him too much until the league is a certainty, we still have to play City, Arsenal and Chelsea. Plus United could get a favourable draw in the Champions league, allowing Fergie to test Chicha/Welbeck.

  Woah, be careful, I suggested this last night and got crucified 😉
  
  He is a good option if you ask me. Great little run of fixtures, and only 5.7.
  
  I know everyone was like 'LOL QPR can't score', but 'Arry knows that a defensive setup isn't going to do in the next few weeks, they have to try and win games.
  
  People thought he was a bargain at 6.0, and since then he scored on his debut, blanked against Man City, got injured and now isn't apparently isn't a viable choice at 5.7
  
  I'm definitely considering him.

    found it
    
    FLAGGING & PROTECTION OF PLAYERS
    
    Q: Flagging & Protection of Players? Explain away….
    A: When a player is either injured, doubtful, suspended or ineligible then the (i) next to their name on FPL will be flagged red or yellow.
    
    Q: Does this mean the player is protected from any price drop?
    A: NO – absolutely not and this is a major mistake many people make. Anyone who is flagged will still be able to increase and decrease in value. The increase NTI target stays the same. However the NTO Threshold for a price drop is approximately 2.5 times greater than the usual Threshold for price drops.

    Let me elaborate. La Liga has long been decided. They have United away in 3 days. They will be fielding a weakened side. As for Barca, they will be extra motivated after two tough defeats. Our recent record at the Bernabeu is stellar.

  I think RVP WILL drop tonight. This season Fiso have "built in" the 150% thing into their NTI estimate.
  So 122% actually IS 122%, if you get my drift.
  If you're gonna sell, do it tonight, imo.
