The ScoutCast – Episode 144 – Squeaky

It’s “squeaky bum time” in the ScoutCast studio as Granville continues to chip away at my previously “unassailable” mini-league lead. My co-host stumbled through an injury-strewn Gameweek 12 with the honours, leaving me trailing and worrying that he’ll have clawed it all back by Christmas.

Pressing on, we flog the Hazard vs Fabregas debate once again and run the rule over a cast of budget strikers, desperately searching for the optimum way to spend the two transfers burning holes in our pockets.

We asses the week’s transfer bandwagons, look ahead to Gameweek 13 and take time out to tease Jonty on his Di Maria u-turn. We then combine “powers” to terrifying effect and prepare the ScoutCast XI for their Fantasy Football Scout Cup qualifying round, having flexed its muscles to the tune of a 59-point Gameweek 12. Intimidating stuff.

Lubricate your hinges via this link, or bathe in WD40 via the handy player below…

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

    Hmmm Sakho -> Ings -4? I have no bench whatsoever so i guess is worth it over the two if Sakho dosent play. Have exact money so cant go Austin.

            He played well but more importantly Spurs came to life after his introduction.

              'After his introduction' Starting on the bench is a good thing for his chances of starting this weekend. I'm beginning to think Kane is starting to become first choice.

              Did Adebayor and Soldado play?

                  Adebayor still injured then? I think he's still the main competition. I can't see them both starting up front together without one of Chadlii or Eriksen being dropped.

      Have you considered holding Sakho and sorting out a bench player instead? Sakho might only miss one more game.

            Can't go wrong w/ Azpi right now, Naylor's on the rope, though Yun could provide a nice little cushion if you need the change.

            Azpi for me though Nabil, feel Chelsea defense will reward you immensely in the immediate future

      if krul is your only keeper then he should be the priority.

      else sell bruce for yun..clear one deadweight..in case downing not playing just play 433 and ride it out.

      alternatively just save ur FT..i think downing is fine and u have 3 playing def..worst case just play wanyama if downing never play.

      Why do you want to sell Wisdom? He's fantastic value. Might end up being my only season keeper the way WBA are playing and how he's ticking along nicely.

      I don't think there's much value beyond Downing in the cheapie-mid bracket, so would go for A or D. Austin is a good choice.

      I'd do A in any case right now. I would leave your other FT floating til later in the day & see what the hell is going on with gringo Chad. If he's fine, you're in a great position to stay firm.

      I'd also take Downing's fitness into account, he might be a great replacement now or in the near future for him. Also, with 0.8 ITB, you could afford Mirallas soon, perhaps your FT could do you good next week 😉

    Lads, I'd appreciate some of your expertise on a draft league trade idea 🙂

    Would you trade Jay Rodriguez for Downing? J-Rod returns in 4-5 weeks and might be sold to Spurs with Pochettino, while Downing is currently carrying a little knee injury himself.

    I've got an extra forward and Downing's owner has 1-2 too many solid mids so it makes a bit of sense I think.

            He's got Gerrard-Navas-Rooney-Downing in midfield, and only Fletcher and Walters up top, so instead of benching one of the midfielders it might make sense to punt on a forward, which is the position he's weak in.... At least that's how I see it.

      Not madness. The good fixtures extend beyond that too.

      I do think the general strategy on FFS is to assume everything will stay the same. I.e. sterling is out of form so it won't change. This method is safe but quite reactive.

      Obviously lots of things do change and that could very likely be one of them. When he scores there'll be a bandwagon

      Both good. Lukaku probably, just. Wouldn't buy either though.

        To fund Rooney. Have Terry, Hazard & Costa from CHE at present.

        Think just a Pelle -> Bony switch is better though.

        Very unlikely I will do it, but Hazard is poor away from home and they only have 3 home games in the next 8.

          Go w/ the Bony move mate, you're in a good position to play it safe right now
          That other FT will be very useful next week when we have more insight as to who will/won't be playing matches

      A all day

      Y. Austin's fixtures are great. Kane's suck in the next 2-3, and he might not even play, meaning you earn 2 points right there..

    Who would you rather own for the entire season?

    A) Pelle (0 shots on target against STO hul LEI avl...)
    B) Balotelli (So far very disappointing, but potentially good partnership to come with Sturridge)

        yeah, its not the best question, but I currently own Balotelli in my draft league and considering trading for Pelle despite the fixtures and 0 shots in 4 games

          Never played the draft game but would prob hang on to Balo a little longer ( not too long)

                If Sturridge was back soon I would keep him for sure, but it just feels like its never going to happen...
