The ScoutCast – Episode 172 – Fuzzy

We take Fantasy Football seriously. So much so, myself, Granville and Jonty find time each week to join up online and natter semi-aimlessly about it. Some of you even go so far to watch and listen. We all take Fantasy Football that seriously.

That’s why we dedicate this episode of the ScoutCast to Fuzzy Warbles, whose passion for Fantasy Football drove him to scribe a long letter to the Premier League. In doing so, he raised his head above the parapet to gain the attention from the mainstream press and various Twitterati.

Predictably, that attention was somewhat confused as to why someone would care so much about a few points to muster an 800-word email.

We know why.

The three of us are more than happy to waste more words discussing “CedricGate”, the catalyst for Fuzzy’s irritation.

Before that, we analyse Gameweek 9, discuss the contrasting fortunes of Jamie Vardy, Anthony Martial and Eden Hazard, plus assess the Gameweek 11 fixture swing. We may have a few chuckles along the way, but we’re taking it very seriously.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first broadcast live on our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. You can view the full version on the larger movie player below.

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

      I watched a bit the other night. Mark was giving Granville a hard time over Martial

        Hard to account for him being pushed out wide, but it is a real concern that LVG's madness will keep him there.

        I want him up top so they can smash City 😉

          It could happen the way we are defending at the moment

          3-4 maybe 🙂

    Did you know I invented the term Hulk on FFS. I don't get enough credit for that.

    I think it's a fairly important achievement.

    Mention this on the scoutcast jonty.

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 8 Years

      Said it on the other but will say it again

      That's a great piece of ffscout trivia

      I've never understood why it's called Hulk

      What's the scoop?

          Well you could 'hulk' it as in lift it and raise attention which I think is its other meaning

          1. Robe Wan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

    Zero atmosphere at Anfield. The Klopp effect has worn off already

  6. Costa in Wengerland
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Mahrez
    anyone with me ?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I would if I was 100% sure he'd play

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I guess he was Benched because he Dint train well last week , but u never know Tinkerman.
        still im going with him , Even Sanchez might start on bench this week

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          There is no stand out option this week as I don't have Vardy, might go for a complete differential Ighalo

          1. Costa in Wengerland
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I have Vardy but im Still on Mahrez

    2. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      If he was guaranteed to start then yes but there has to be a little doubt.

    3. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I'm on

    4. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Only to find out he has been benched again 🙂

      1. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        If Leicester are doing well, Ranieri wont bring him on and so captaincy will go to VC. If they arent Mahrez comes on and changes the game.

        If Ranieri is sensible he starts

        1. Costa in Wengerland
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          at Southampton , he changed the whole game after coming from the bench , i dont think Ranieri will bench him again

          1. Pochecinno
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Exactly, if he knows what he's doing Ranieri will start him. Even if he doesn't Mahrez off the bench is still great

          2. Syd.
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Koeman changed the game by taking Cedric off

            1. Costa in Wengerland
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Hahaha that 15 seconds !!!!

    5. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yeees, Im more and more tempted, but still feels a bit too punty 🙂

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Everyone is Punty , except Aguero and Sanchez , and Sanchez too might not start this week

        1. Sergeant Garcia
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Good point, but why would Sanchez be benched?

          1. Costa in Wengerland
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Wenger thinks Sanchez needs rest

            1. chinmusic
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              What he has also said is that he sees himself selecting Alexis but subbing him if he can. Expect 70 minutes if Arsenal are winning. (Hopefully with a brace from the little Chilean.)

  7. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Keep Falling Barkley.. a blank vs Arsenal and priced at 6.6 or so for Everton's amazing run is what i'm hoping for 😎

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Surprised he hasn't got injured yet. Expect it soon!

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years

        🙁 ..

      Shush

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I love value buys 🙂 .. gonna be punching way above his price tag with that run. That being said i'd have to get rid of Hazard/Yaya for him and i want to give them 2 weeks each to decide which one goes so i may have to wait a little while

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years

      Doubt he'll even drop once more

    Clyne noooo

  10. parity
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Best forward to replace Gomis and partner with Vardy/Pelle? Looking at bony or lukaku, money's no concern after shipping aguero, but would like to ship gomis out before he drops

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku's fixtures are great after this GW

      1. Boydinho
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Im on either Lukaku/Bony/Kane/Ayoze to prtner Vardy & Pelle, really hard to pick

    2. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku should get steady points... a few assists penalties etc.

      1. chinmusic
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        There's nothing steady about Romelu

  11. Iinvin
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Mane to ozil on a free transfer?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nope.

    2. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I think not, keep mane for the next few.

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Both of them if you can

    4. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      no way

    5. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 11 Years

      No.

  12. Hiphopopotamus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Lads. Is McCarthy Palace's #1 keeper?

    I presume he's just got back from injury and will start playing again...?

    1. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      No, Hennessy is number 1 at the mo.

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Out of favour

      Hennessey currently.

      Speroni was before and could be again once fit.

    3. Reedy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Speroni is. Not sure when he's back. Think McCarthy actually got dropped for Henessey which would make him third choice now. And I have him...

      1. chinmusic
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        If Speroni was first choice he'd be in the team by now? Seems to be Hennessey, then who knows.

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Are you sure yuo're not talking about Speroni?

    5. Hiphopopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers all! But we don't seem to be nearer to knowing...

      Maybe Speroni has just got back from injury (he's not flagged) and will play next GW...?

          Me too. A reader of the game even when he was young and playing. I'm sure that is why he was such a good late sub having watched where the weakness in the opposition's side was.

  14. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Lallana is playing quite well in this half tbf

    1. Licky
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He's in and around the same areas where he was so effective for Southampton.

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Just that he thinks hes a hardman

    2. Yam-es
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Think he could end up being a Klopp fave

      1. Licky
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        For work rate he sure will. Very rarely finishes games though because he tires himself out.

      Probably the first three.

      Maybe Richards instead of Darmian

    Could I have some opinions on my team?

    Czech
    Cresswell Bellerin Alderweireld
    Mane Payet Wijnaldum de Bruyne
    Vardy Pelle Sanchez

      • 12 Years

      How did you get Sanchez as a striker 🙂

      Do you have to play Cresswell? Bench?

    3. Heavy Cream

      Annoyingly I can only play him as a striker on my app! No bench players and no captains. Crap app huh?!
