The ScoutCast – Episode 170 – Bingo

Forget two fat ladies, in ScoutCast Bingo it’s all about three men with paunches chatting Fantasy Football fortunes, rattling out a few familiar clichés along the way.

Thanks to Numb’s witty community contribution, this week’s episode finds us gripping our dabbers in preparation for mispronunciations, dropped connections and a regular helping of “blimeys”.

Around those fun and games, we tackle the serious matters – assessing the merits of Sergio Aguero, Callum Wilson’s replacements and my range of Christmas jumpers.

All those hard-hitting issues are addressed via another round of community questions, following on from our review of Gameweek 7 as Granville fights the urge to gloat having opened up a 40 point lead over yours truly.

This episode of the ScoutCast was broadcast live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday evening. You can view the full Google Hangout on the larger player below.

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

      No Man City could be a problem

    Who would you bench out of Walcott, Pedro or Ighalo ?

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Ighalo

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Pedro because he is crap.

    2. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      pedro, i'd play ighalo against bournemouth given he's most likely to score from watford whereas pedro is one of a few from chelsea who could score.

      West Brom clean sheet looks attractive.

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Always are, they're never placed high for some odd reason

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          casual bookies.

    2. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      *Sunderland's 3.75 btw, placed them wrong

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'll take Sturridge at 2.5 thank you!

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Indeed, always a good bet for a derby.

    3. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Liv CS odds better than WBA & Watford....

      Should I play Moreno ahead of Evans and Nyom ?

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Probably not, imo. Take it as a rough guide (like the Frisking Fixtures article), I wouldn't feel all too comfortable playing my defense against a menacing Lukaku & Barkley if I have the option. Palace attack is less threatening & so is Bournemouth with Murray ät the hélm, imo

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Bony?!

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        And surprised to see Vardy so low too! Even below Gomis!

        1. Zasa
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Take a bet then ĉowboy 😉

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Substitute strikers are always priced close to the first choice strikers to prevent people with 'In The Know' information about surprise line ups making a handful.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Ahh... cunning.

    5. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      What is Aston Villa doing that high in the list? Here I was quietly confident about my diouf pick and now this.

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Keep the confidence, both teams have downright awful underlying defensive stats. I don't seē a CS either way tbh.

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Also Janmaat is available to score at 20.00 (19/1 for Brits) 😆

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Aye 🙂

        Was surprised to see KdB so high tbh 😯

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez at 3.33
      Mata at 4.00
      Cazorla at 4.50

      are all okay for penalty takers too

  4. Pochecinno

    8 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed on DZ, just my luck!

    Hey DZ

    Just woken up in the middle of my sleep to see Sterling is going down. He's my next planned transfer anyway, is it worth taking him out for a hit to save the 0.1. I've already lost that on him before

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      if you've already lost it on him before, double check whether this one affects your sell price

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

        Yes it will. I bought him from GW1@9m. He's going down to 8.8

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          two good fixtures though and he's a starter. I wouldn't worry about 0.1m if you want him for those fixtures. if you don't that's different.

          personally I'm not taking a hit this season so I can't advise one *rolleyes*

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. ZombieEaten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I have had same feeling about Yaya all week. I think prices will stabilize after the home games

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on replacement. Great fixture for him.

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

        I'm thinking Mata. Yaya is other option but he's injured.

        He hasn't really responded to great fixtures yet though has he

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Mata is in form and has a weaker Arsenal defence to play. Not the greatest fixtures is holding quite a few back for a few GWs.

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

            Yep. I do have the option of going Kdb/Silva as well, as I have the money. Been looking at KDB for a while, but Mata has sprung into life

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

      Let me contextualise. This is my team

      Cech (Schwarzer)
      Kolarov Bellerein Azpi (Cedric Saylor)
      Sanchez Mahrez Mane Sterling (Drinkwater)
      Aguero Sakho Ighalo

      2.0m ITB WC intact

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        KdB and Capt.

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

          I like. Not your love Yaya?

          1. ILOVEBAPS
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Yaya is crocked so I won't risk C on him. My prob with KdB is his price combined with Kun is a big chunk. So many other good Mids who are scoring well makes me think I'd be better off with Mata instead. However his fixtures are awful!!

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

              Yep sounds right. I'm woken up from my panic and will ride out the price drop I think, I'm not gonna take a hit for a rash decision I'm unsure about

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

                Phew, he didn't fall

  5. ZombieEaten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Bottom of the pops

    Who bench of Yaya fit? Yaya, Barkley, Ighalo?

    Mahrez, Payet, Sanchez, Yaya, Barkley
    Aguero, Ighalo, Vardy

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

      Ighalo

      1. ZombieEaten
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah. Just worried Ighalo has a cracker against BOU

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

          That's the risk of having 8 playable attackers!

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      tough choice...maybe ighalo

    3. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Barkley.

    4. foreverton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yaya

  6. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Toying with the idea of going for Butland ahead of Myhill on my WC (along with Hennesey) I will have Dawson and this would spread my defensive cover a bit further reducing the risk of having my defensive eggs in one basket. What do you think?

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I don't mind it but I'd rather have Gomes ahead of Butland in that price bracket.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm. Maybe I will just leave it.

    2. ZombieEaten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Next few fixtures aren't bad

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Krul @4.5 is my keeper of choice with the fixtures atm.

  7. Jacques The Lad
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    G2G?

    Butland
    Kolarov Darmian Richards
    Sanchez Payet(v) Mahrez Silva
    Vardy Kun(c) Martial

    McCarthy Gomez Westwood Muniesa

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      Nice yep G2G

    2. ILOVEBAPS

      A thing of beauty. Big points methinks.

    3. Jacques The Lad

      8 years, 8 months ago

      Much appreciated, Fingers crossed!

    • 10 Years

    @Walsh, What are your thoughts on the Palace GK situation?

    1. ZombieEaten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      @Balders - nice blog. Helped me think thru Wilson replacement. See my comment on an article suggestion? Nailed-On low price options.

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Hi Zombie, I'll try and get a short write up for you tomorrow.

        1. ZombieEaten
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Learning fast - such as don't have 8 playable attackers! Look up.

          I also spent too much on GKs

    2. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      It's a nightmare 🙂

      1. Walsh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        In seriousness, I guess I expect Speroni to get his place back at this rate, but there is no way of knowing what Pardew will do. That said, I've gone Hennessey on wildcard.

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers Walsh 🙂

    Please feel free to offer opinions on my WC team...

    Butland / Gomes

    Kolarov / Monreal / Evans / Moreno / Francis

    Sanchez / De Bruyne / Payet / Mahrez / Morrison

    Kun / Vardy / Ighalo

    1.9 ITB

    1. Gashead9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Hennessey, not Gomes

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Interesting no WBA defender.

      1. Gashead9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Have Evans

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Oh yeah. Doh. A lot of similar to mine I just put below but you spent extra money in defence I put mine into my 5th mid. Quite like it. Morrison has a lot of potential

  9. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I never understand why people post there scores with their hits in brackets next to them. The score is the score you just need to minus it before you post it. You don't get any kind of extra reward for taking a hit or not.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years

      People just like to share.

    2. Abel Xavier

      +1 (-4)

  10. Just A Hat

    All out attack this weekend, who is with me!

    1. theBoose
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      tempting.. but i'm merely a man, i'm no hat.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Westwood 🙁

    2. World XI
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      That's a cheap you want to play near the end of a season with great TV for a 5th mid

      1. Just A Hat
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        its a bit of a silly chip to be honest, near the end of the season I'll probably have a defense of Ivanovic/Kolarov/Darmien or something and want to play those guys over my weak attacking player anyway

    3. Four Four Boyz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Did mine last weekend. Failed miserably.

      1. Just A Hat
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        wrong team linked??

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Strongly considering myself

  11. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Since people are posting teams my WC is this I think more or less decided:

    Myhill - Hennessey
    B Davies - Cedric - Janmaat - Souare - Dawson
    Sanchez - Mata - Mahrez - Payet - KDB
    Aguero - Ighalo - Vardy

    I quite like it.

    1. Just A Hat
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I quite like it as well, no Kolarov?! and I would be wary of Davies

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I haven't had Kolarov yet this season. But I shaved it to the bone doing this so Man City defence went out the window.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Good team, Jealous. Benching Iggy every week barring injuries?

      Possible you could make KDB or Kun a Che or Pool player in future if they start out performing City as KdB/Kun tie up loads of cash between them.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        That is pretty much what I am thinking yes. The way I see it with more competitions going there will be more rested layers and I will have someone decent on the bench.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          AOA this GW?

    3. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Very nice indeed.

      This may be greedy, but anything left ITB?

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Absolutely nothing. I could free up 0.1 by Myhill to Butland

          Not surprising. I like that a lot. So much flexibility with formations. I'd swap for sure and my OR is pretty good

            It is locked in at the moment. I do have some niggling doubts but you always do don't you? You cannot have everyone.

              8 years, 8 months ago

              Exactly. There is always a lurking pool of players that you know came close to final selection.

              The joy from seeing your picks do well is mirrored by the pain of watching them rake in points!

              Just gotta hope it comes up roses 🙂 good luck!

                Thanks. What is your OR like I am at 29k myself after a nasty drop last week.

    4. Gashead9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      See what you mean, 7 out of front 8 the same as mine! Nice team though, not sure Davies is nailed

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        He's played 6 out of 7. Not sure if the 1 was a niggle or rotation?

      2. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Well he has only missed one game this season so far and he has played 90 mins in the other games. But with Europa there is bound to be a bit of rotation. Yeah very similar but I pushed it to get Mata

  12. ILOVEBAPS

    8 years, 8 months ago

    1FT to use so which is more likely to work out well?

    Yaya > Mata/Payet
    Gomis > Pelle/Martial
    Darmian > Bertrand

    Myhill
    Zouma, Kolarov, Richards
    Sánchez, Mahrez, Pedro, Yaya
    Agüero(vc), Vardy(c), Gomis
    (McCarthy, Westwood, Darmian, Ward)

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd save transfer if Yaya fit

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      (C) (VC) same here atm, but...

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        It is tentative. Might go one of Mata/Payet if I ship Yaya.

    3. ZombieEaten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Pedro > Payet?

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Not sure I can justify that with Che fixtures as they are. But Yaya hamstring is concerning.

    4. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      YYT to Payet this week and Pedro to Mata next week

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Thinking same however IF Pedro does well this GW it will be hard to ditch him before AVL with Mata playing eve.

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      What Matthew said is the best advice I believe. If Yaya is 100% save. If not then Mata/Payet

    6. BearHug
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yaya > Mata
      Gomis > Pelle
      Darmian stays

      Purely looking at the fixtures starting GW12 United will have good fixtures I wont swap Darmian, could get a few cleansheets. Swap in case you need the extra cash.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I can't see a CS for Utd over the next 3 so was thinking a swap but seems I will always have more pressing needs up front.

        Yes, that was the third rise

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Took the risk eh? Well done but Sterling will fall tomorrow yes?

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

          Yep. He will probably fall tomorrow but at least I'll have 24 hours to think through a proper transfer now. Won't be a rash decision

          1. ILOVEBAPS

      fplstatistic %s:

      Sakho 95%
      Vardy 82.2% (FPLstats are still way off with the 3rd rise of a week)

      Buckley -89.7%
      Fellaini -100.2%
      Hooper -94.7%

      There were seven low ownership players between -100% and -100.8% who did not fall.

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

        Do you think the thresholds are now the same for each rise and fplstats think its still more for each rise

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I think its still more, but not by as much as fplstats think it is.

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years

          The thresholds aren't the same for each rise.

        Sakho 96
        Vardy 84.9

        Hooper -94.2
        Fellaini -104.9

        Couldn't find Buckley?

            FFF don't have records for players with low ownership, I believe the cut-off is around 5k.

          • 10 Years

          How many over 100% did fpl stats have that failed to materialise?

    1. OPTA FPL

      Aguero, off course because he's in your list

      Tough on is right none of these players deserve to be benched

      Any one of them is captain material

    5. sleecc
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      May be start with who you don't want to bench first.

    6. Gianfranco Zola
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Pelle/Barkley

    7. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Either Mane or Pelle

    8. Pochecinno

      Redmond. Only one who isn't nailed on

    9. FPL Blow-In

      Barkley

    10. ILOVEBAPS

      Doesn't do too well away from home.

            • 8 Years

            A if Kompany is out, you have no playing defender.

    2. Root

      C is an intriguing option. I will consider it myself. Maybe after this GW I'll go for it.

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2-0 win for Sunderland? What a clown.

      doesn't he ONLY pick 2-0's?

      and if so, who thought it was a good idea for him to be part of a prediction game..

        • 10 Years

        That's how you win prediction games, along with a few 1-1s and 2-1s

      @ Diva

      How many more transfers required for Vardy to rise on Saturday night? Is it 4 times of his 1st rise this GW or 1st rise threshold of next GW? I mean is he nailed for Saturday night price rise now?

      1. Diva
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        1st rise threshold of next GW. He should need just under 40,000 NTI.

      None of them to be honest but if you put a gun to my head i would pick Williams he is not a rotation risk and his fixtures are marginally better

      Hard to say as we don't know how each will effect the other. I like both but want more data to make an informed decision. It is a guess at this stage.

      Silva. Cheaper, #10.

    Does anyone actually feel confident in Captaining Aguero this week?
    I sure don't.

        His lack of attempts on target is concerning.

          Silva will help address that

          1. ILOVEBAPS
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Gotta say I will be less concerned about it with Silva in the squad.

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Its still Aguero, its at the Etihad and its against a complete rag-tag defence.

        2. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          It's not like he's not getting shots on target. For the season he's only one back on a forward who is proving a popular pick this week.

            Who dat? Vardy?

      No how could you after what he has done with the armband in previous weeks

      And when you see the form that other players are in especially it would make the eyes wonder to someone else

      Even the most faithful Aguero armbanders must be having 2nd thoughts now

      1. janowsc
        • 9 Years

        You can't stop until the haul! He'll reward us in the next 2 games.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          He would want to he has ruined a hell of a lot of fpl team this year he is a nightmare owning him and he is a nightmare not owning him

          It would be a hell of a lot more interesting if he was not a factor

          1. ILOVEBAPS
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Who'd a thunk it but Rooney > Aguero GW 2 wasn't really a good decision.

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I ask the question because I wanted some reassurance about my own doubts but you are right, there is no reason to be absolutely confident in him this GW. It's a leap of faith.

        Best of the rest then... hmmm...

        Mata, KDB/Silva, Sanchez/Walcott, Vardy/Mahrez, Payet.

        I might go with Vardy or Payet.

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          If you were looking without the historic goggles on and were just going off by which players looked to be on fire it would be between Sanchez Vardy Payet and Mata

          I think Arsenal and United will be tight 0-0 or 1-1 so i would stay away from Sanchez and Mata

          Then out of whats left i would probably give the armband to Vardy just because he is a striker and should get more chances

          But Aguero is still a nightmare if you are brave enough not to captain him you could be seriously sickened as well as rewarded

          1. ILOVEBAPS
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Well summed up. Have been wondering about the Ars - Utd game as I don't own any Utd. Think there will be goals in that one as both defences are shite at the moment.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              Who knows it could be 6-6 but i think it will be a more nervy affair both teams would be happy with a draw i reckon

      Very. I have the same Sanchezzy feeling I had last week 🙂

      1. ILOVEBAPS

        I do not and I also went San(c)ez.

      2. sleecc

        Should I triple Kun?

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          No, probably wiser to save that chip for a DGW.

            True, cheers. Hope you are right again.

            The weakest spots in your team are Sinclair and your back-up goalie. You could save or you could take this opportunity to fix one of those week points. Some might say swap Pedro to one of the more in form mids.
