The ScoutCast – Episode 54 – Crash

As if out of sympathy for the Fantasy Premier League, or podcast recording software crashed at the death this week. Finished. Kaput.

Panic ensued – hands on head there were cries of “I can’t go through that again” from host Mark as I desperately attempted to recover our lost words. Luckily, temporary files restored, our fifty fourth episode was rescued and rebuilt like Ledley King’s knee. Hopefully it won’t collapse again next week – like Ledley King’s knee.

Within it you’ll find unusually muted tones as Mark and I dissect the events or rather “non-events” of the weekend. Frustrations vented, this week’s broadcast picks up to its usual pace and departs on an optimistic note.

Listen in and share our pain.

    Why is it that everyone cites Everton traditionally being slow starters as a reason for not buying their players... and yet the same people buy spend buckets on the other slow starters, Man United.

      Not being smart, but generally speaking, United are the best team in England, and Everton are not, and it is not as much of a stretch for people to put faith in United players as it is in players like Ambulance men Saha, Arteta and Cahill. Baines I like, but I think 8 is a little too expensive when we don't know yet the impact of a potentially fit Arteta and set pieces.

        Well, people seem to be jumping on Rooney left right and centre, after he's just had a mediocre season (at best) that began with a prolonged period where he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn door. How quickly people forget.

          Rooney's form in the second half of the season was actually quite good, and he is on pens, and is basically the spearhead of United's attack, and while he is fit, will always be an easy captaincy choice for pens alone. This is now coupled with Ashley Young being at United, won the most pens in the Premiership last term, and himself and the Roon like playing together, it still all makes perfect sense to me to be honest.

      You know I was reading an interview with Tim Cahill and it kind of summed Everton up:

      "We don't have any expectations and never set any goals..."

      This ain't the mindset of a winner or a winning team. Sounds like they are settling for mediocrity at best.

      Bosingwa for Cole; Senderos for Bad K.
      gks will earn more baps than defs so beef your gks up with Bergo/Given.
      Dyer, Moses and Etuhu are too lightweight and need upgrading.
      Rather Bent than Rooney and this will aid your midpark rebuild.

      Best of luck 🙂

          You have two relatively exp defs albeit excellent value in Bad K.

          The first ten fixtures for FUL are really good so always look for the cheapest way into a defence. In this case, Senderos.

          With Given/Bergo you have perfect g/k rotation all season long. G/ks are in front of defs for bp allocation it appears so I would prioritise g/ks first rather than defs.

          With Torres heating up and the CHS fixtures, something has to give.

          Hard to overlook Bent (fixtures), Suarez and Nando.

          The other factor is bonus points: forwards from winning teams are going to scoop them all up more than any other position.

          Yep, but its always good to have quality options, IMO I think either would be brilliant signings, although I would prefer Modric to Mata, even though Mata could give us some much needed width. If we sign both I'd be very happy. Courtois, Piazon, Lukaku, Mata, Modric... AVB is making some quality signings. Buying the right mix of youth/ potential/ talent and ambition 🙂

            Very true. I worry that he might have lost some of these set plays to Arteta and co.

            Should get plenty of assists with Cahill back in the fold. I'd rather monitor for now.

          Coll/Williamson/Taylor are CB and 2 from those 3. Taylor seems to have the nod for now. I would chose Williamson myself, but I am not Pardew!

          If Kompany/Richards are the same I would go Kompany. he nearly got BP last game

    Jafs - sorry might be a stupid Q:

    Why do you reckon keepers will do better this year under the new scoring/EA index thingy?

    Are we not getting carried away? I have Given/Ruddy that rotate and would rather invest the extra 1 mill in mid/front.
