The ScoutCast – Episode 137 – Precious

Every little point counts. With the mini-league gap between myself and co-host Granville widening by the week, my Mancunian friend can ill-afford to throw points aside in his bid to follow up last season’s victorious campaign.

In and around the usual ScoutCast regulars, Granville recalls the dilemma that saw him get away with benching Cesc Fabregas to the tune of just a single point. Will that prove costly?

We then join forces to run the rule over the accelerating Di Maria bandwagon, assess Rooney’s re-positioning and decide whether those steering away from Ramsey Street need to re-programme their sat navs.

Treasure this nonsense via this link or cling to these worldly goods via the handy player below…

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

      This will be my 3rd week with Falcao on my team.
      If he doesn't deliver it'll be a transfer to Welbeck or Ulloa.
      Opens up all sorts of possibilities for my midfield and defence 🙂

        i'd definately get him though. he is literally a cheap sanchez, very attacking minded 'midfielder'. However, i think he might not be as valuable now that arsenal midfield is full of amazing options and so wouldnt get the points hauls with ramsey ozil sanchez and walcott all midfield options.

    I'm doing a summary to post next week but just though a little taster whilst transfers are being contemplated

    Top 5 picks of mids playing beyond the striker of their respective teams..First figure is how many times they played beyond the striker and the second one is the number of appearances for the season to date.

    Siggy 4/5
    Hazard 3/5
    Tadic 4/5
    Sanchez 3/4
    Chadli 3/4

        Fabulous..He would be on that list but I'm looking at how to work in missing minutes..He's had appearances from the bench which haven't yielded pts but nonetheless show how advanced he plays when he gets good minutes..

          Yeah, floats around Lukaku, I think he's value at just under 7.5m. Am hoping he makes the most of Liverpool's defensive frailties.

                  He has the credentials. Those five mids look loaded with pts. I may draw a line in the sand and, as they are affordable, see how they end the season for pts...So in effect "what if" I had wilcarded and left alone based on those simple 5 week stats..Agreed ?

    This week: Balotelli->Aguero
    Next week: Rooney->Costa and Lovren->Chambers for -4

    My current team:

    Clyne Ivanovic Wisdom
    Sigurdsson Larsson Sterling Fábregas
    Pellè Rooney Balotelli

    Feeling really pessimistic about my team this week, for some reason... Looks good on paper, but so does everyone else's. The lack of variety in midfield/attack leaves the defence and captaincy option as a big decider - Costa blank and a QPR goal and my week's pretty likely down the pan.

      Clyne looks more street savvy he will get Bertrand with some dirty move.

        This.

        Bertrand lookalike abit of a pretty boy who'd get out-done by street fighter moves

        This.

        Siggy against Sunderland and Ulloa against Crystal Palace. Anything could happen with those.

        Chadli unlikely to play well in the derby.

        Really think Burnley will play well against WBA away? Enough to save a clean sheet?

          as I said it's touch and go...sunderland away isn't easy either

          naylor has more attacking threat, so maybe you are fine then

      I'd play Moreno over Wilson, he offers nothing but a clean sheet and Newcastle are scoring plenty.

        Was that in response to my team?

        If so, thanks. Who should I play from the backs this weekend?
