The ScoutCast – Episode 135 – Arrivals

With cheque books fluttering on the eve of the transfer window slamming shut, our Fantasy seasons could be transformed by some notable new arrivals. In this week’s ScoutCast episode, Granville and I chew over the latest fresh faces to crash the player list – United’s “Angel” Di Maria and Liverpool’s “Devil” Balotelli.

With just a single point between us and the comfort of top 100k placings, my co-host and I are more than just a little content as we the rule over the current bandwagons and preview another weekend’s action. It won’t last.

Bed yourself in via this link, or get acclimatised via the handy player below…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Only real difference being i have gone for Jovetic & Ivanovic over your Aguero & Taylor.

        Would love to fit Aguero in though

              wonder what it means for Brady, especially with Snoddy injured. He was beautiful to own at the start at least season. If he can get a spot then he looks a steal at 4.9

              Tough to call, Holliet needs to go and you need better cover for an injury. Maybe Costa/Holliet to Naismith/Fab or Rooney. Not sure you will find the funds without consecutive hits.

          Bego

          Terry - Wisdom - Dummett - Duff - Moore

          Hazard - Ramsey - Mata - Siggy - Marney

          Costa - Rooney - Dzeko

          3 injuries worries with Costa, Dzeko and Marney.

          Already used my free transfer...do I take a hit? Or just hold on and muddle through.

            could take a hit to lose either dzeko or costa
            or just hold tight

          Help please:

          I have Costa. Dzeko and Murney all injured so I need to make substitutions and maybe take a hit.

          What would you do?

          A) Dzeko + Costa --> Adebayor + Jovetic + 2.5m (- 4 hit)

          B) Dzeko + Costa + Terry --> Aguero + Adebayor + Colocini + 0.5,m (- 8 hit)

          Thanks guys

            I think both. Wonderful player in his day, but won't be very mobile at all now. Should be very solid, play some nice passes and have a good calming influence on those around him though - Leicester also have Drinkwater and James to come back, as well as Vardy, who are arguably three of their better players. I think they'll do quite well this season, nothing spectacular, but well organised, and should pick up some clean sheets.

          I've got Costa and Dzeko, and I'm desperately tempted to switch them to Aguero and Pelle. Can't afford it if Aguero rises tonight.

          Stick or twist?

            Doubt Aguero will rise tonight - been looking at TotalFPL for the last days, and players needs to stay at over 100% for one day to go up in price.

              Looks good. No City players though.
              As for Aguero - I would wait until he starts games, but if he will be too costly by then, you might have to. For Rooney then?
