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

Thanks to Numbโ€™s witty community contribution, this weekโ€™s episode finds us gripping our dabbers in preparation for mispronunciations, dropped connections and a regular helping of โ€œblimeysโ€.

Around those fun and games, we tackle the serious matters โ€“ assessing the merits of Sergio Aguero, Callum Wilsonโ€™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.

For the edited audio version, youโ€™ll need this link or the handy player below.

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

  2. A-VB

    @Moin or anyone who knows..

    Best players choice in ISL Fantasy league ?

  3. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Richards/Dawson/Francis..
    Need to pick 2 from these to go with Kol.

    Prob Rich/Fran?
    Not much in it I guess.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, Richards and Francis

    2. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      i would never play a villa defender, but it's not like i'm always right. dawson seems a good pick to me.

    bottomed, evening gents!

    I'm in a 15-man league draft league (unique ownership) at https://draftfantasyfootball.co.uk/

    with Son out, is Chadli nailed? tempted to start him over Sako..this is the lineup I'm looking at:

    .....................Myhill
    ......Kolarov - Francis - Davies
    Sanchez - Mahrez - Ritchie - Chadli
    ......Jerome - Gestede - Sakho

    De Gea; Sako, Naughton, Koscielny

    the scoring system looks stolen from FPL, but there are no captains and no bonus points. thoughts?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      worth the punt with Spurs fixtures getting good soon

      depends on how much is available in free agency

      looks like slim pickings

      I run a 60-team league (3 divisions of 20, promotion/relegation between divisions)

      I start draft 2nd international break (Sunday). Currently full up, but if you're interested, e-mail me at tjse7@hotmail.com and I'll wait list you. We always lose a few during draft or in first few months (I fire inactive managers and replace them... had a chap take over a 20th place team in January last season and rally to 11th... keeps it lively).

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        done!

        and yeah slim pickings indeed:

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I think I might nick Sinclair off that list for Ritchie soon.

          Ritchie's fixtures getting a bit tougher... Villa's too, but they have a good run of fixtures weeks 14 to 24

          will send you an e-mail with some info soon as I get yours

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            funny enough I just sold Sinclair for Sako. league is pretty inactive so would be cool to join a more active one

            1. Heels_Over_Head
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              1st division is very active... working on the other 2... been adding a division per season.

              1st division is in its third season
              2nd division in its 2nd
              3rd in its first

              Weed out less active people each season and strengthen the herd. Its working.

              1. Eden Hazardous
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                Joined the 3rd division ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. lachyas
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How does my Wildcard team look? Pretty template.

    DDG / Hennessey
    Kolarov / Francis / Davies / Martin / Cameron
    De Bruyne / Sanchez / Mahrez / Payet / Whelan
    Aguero / Martial / Vardy

    1. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I don't like the DDG, Martin, Cameron, Whelen and Martial picks.

      1. lachyas
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah DDG and Cameron might have to go, sticking by Martial though.

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Why Whelan instead of a Norwich option?

      Defense is a bit weak but guessing you're out of funds.

      Might downgrade DDG to Myhill to have some funds to upgrade Cameron...

      1. lachyas
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah that's max money spent. Didn't put much thought into Whelan as I don't plan on ever playing him but will look at other cheap options. DDG downgrade is a good idea looking at fixtures although a bit of a shame because I got him on the cheap.

    3. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Downgrade DDG to someone like Gomez.

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Gomes* Gomez is a Liverpool defender.

        1. t4thomas
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I just don't see Bournemouth keeping a cleansheet, nor do I see any attacking points for Francis... With Gradel and Wilson out, who will he even assist?

          1. t4thomas
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Big Glen Murray.

  6. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Morn DZ, help needed:

    Myhill
    Darmian Bellerin Kolarov
    Mata KDB Mahrez Sanchez
    Kun (c) Wilson* Martial

    McCarthy* Gomez* Targett* surman

    0.2 ITB & 1 FT

    A) Gomez & Wilson out โžก Ben Davies & Ighalo in -4
    B) Gomez & Wilson out โžก Nyom & Gesdete in -4
    C) Wilson & Darmian out โžก Vardinho & Naughton -4
    D) Wilson out โžก Gestede or Ighalo in, no hit

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Probably A.

  7. Man Chest Hair United
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is Vardy out then? just checked saw thew tweets but non conclusive

    1. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nah.

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks read back a few pages good to hear

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Im a little confused by this tweet. Didnt he have some sort of cast on last week? It seems the quote is saying he had a problem last week and managed to play. Dont see why thats relevant now

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly, I too was a bit confused when I saw it.

        Essentially, he broke two bones in his arm against Villa, got it casted up and everything and the cast was a certain material such that the referees deemed it safe to play with against Arsenal. He'll probably still be wearing it in the next few and assuming one ref has deemed it safe I'm sure the others will.

        Nothing to see here.

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Ok, not just me then. If tweets are getting posted when things stay exactly the same its going to be a lot of work for someone

          1. Nickofoz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Yep, whoever was running the Scout Tweets probably misinterpreted it.

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

    NOT satisfied with my D!

    Azpi, Kolarov, Williams, Gomez & Oxford.

    Any suggestions? Only have 0,1 itb

    1. Carrick the Man!!!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Gomez> Evans

    2. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ben Davies is a shout I like.

  9. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Better ask this in a different way..
    Who do ye think is most likely to score the least points this GW from this lot?

    Richards/Dawson/Francis
    Need to bench one of them.

    1. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You bench Richards.

    2. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I would bench Francis.

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        What makes you say that? You fancy a better scores from Richards v Stoke and Dawson v Palace rather than Francis v Watford?

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Thats why he must have said that ๐Ÿ˜‰

          1. st4rt__
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Just making sure. Seems odd to me.

    3. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I would bench Dawson this week

    4. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      The Impossible Conundrum then..

  10. EL NINO99
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Play gomis/ martial/ clyne/ dawson/ mane/ moses
    Can go wid any 4 of them
    Thoughts?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Clyne on bench

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        And maybe Martial or Dawson

    2. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Bench Clyne and Dawson then... Play the 4 attackers.

    3. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You bench Clyne.

    4. The Baines
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I will play all attackers if i were u.. ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. Siva Mohan

    Gomis owners.. sticking?

    any update on Yaya's injury?

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      YeP.

    2. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Already sold to Vardy, haven't jumped on too many bandwagons this season (avoided Wilson, Gomis earlier, Ayew) but I feel if I don't jump on Vardy I'll regret it, the man is bursting with confidence and is in the form of his life.

      No update yet, Pellegrini should have a presser tonight though

    I wildcarded last week and brought in Mccarthy/Speroni and Walcott. Pre wildcard I had Schemiechel/Hennesy, Costa and Sturridge.

        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Was tinkering between 1 and 3 actually.. ๐Ÿ™‚ 2 is a good option considering Bournmouth are playing without Wilson

    2. st4rt__

  14. Alittude
    • 10 Years

    play ighalo and nyom or francis?

    1. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You'd be willing to have Ighalo and Nyom on the bench to play Francis, really?

      1. Alittude
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        no ighalo will start, nyom or francis better option to play alongside him?

        1. st4rt__
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Ah I see. I mis-read, sorta. It's 6:08am and I've had no sleep, Nyom.

      2. The Baines
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ighalo and one of the defender he meant..

        1. st4rt__
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I know that now.

    2. The Baines
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Francis..
      But really the match can go either way.. The lack of Wilson's presence is a factor too..

    3. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Francis

  15. Count of Monte Hristo

    3. 7alwachi
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ighalo is the safer pick but Gestede has a higher potential return. I was close to getting Sterling and Gestede this week but opted for Wanyama and Sturridge in the end. My pick would be Rudy.

    Made FT... Is it worth a hit to replace Yaya if he's ruled out?

      Nope, Williams/Prodl will do the job

    Martial or Pelle?

    Cheers!

      Pelle
      His fixture is better imo

      1. Rainmaster
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        pelle

    2. lahi

      I support United but for FPL, it should be Pelle considering fixture difficulty.

  27. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Wilson > ?
    A) Vardy
    B) Berahino

    1. Does it Mata
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I changed my Wilson to Berahino

    2. Rainmaster
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      vardy - berahino's stats are terrible. Would be tough for him to maintain that form in that highly defensive wbrom team

    3. Mr Sarcastic
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy and you should have done it ages ago....

    4. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely Vardy for me

    5. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      A

  28. Mr Sarcastic
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone happen to remember did we have ANY price rises or drops during last international break?

    1. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, just not Pedro

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Okay thanks. Remembered only that Pedro thing ๐Ÿ™‚
        Checked also Mahrez and his price didn't rise either (altough he was doubtful at some time then).

    2. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wildcards were flying during the last international break, which put a dampener on price movements.

  29. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Whatcha reckon?

    A) No hits
    B) Pedro -> Silva/Wally (-4)
    C) Mane & Pelle -> Silva/Wally & Berahino (-8)

    If C) then I will definitely WC in GW11. If A or B then I'm not sure.
    B) and C) raises an extra £1m if I go with Wally (i.e. for defensive upgrades)

    Ruddy
    Kolarov, Bellerin, Huth
    Sanchez, Pedro, Mane, Mahrez, Sinclair
    Aguero, Vardy

    Rudd, Pelle, Coates, Targett
    Bank 0.6m, 0FT

    Cheers!

    1. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Is Pedro doubtful to start? If not, A.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I've heard a few rumours of this, but only due to a couple of poor performances. Willian has looked good of late also, so I think one of Oscar/Pedro could well make way. If Oscar makes way, who would play in the hole from Haz, Willian, Pedro? They could even push Fabs forward and start with Matic/Ramires in the double pivot.

        1. Kevin Twine
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Mmm, fair enough. I still don't think it's worth a hit though personally. The only player I'd be tempted to take a hit for is KDB though. Silva seems to be made of spaghetti this season.

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah, KDB looks a great option, but unfortunately I'm 0.1m short of that move.

        2. DannyBoy....
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Willian in the hole, Oscar on the bench

  30. Jazz!
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    So.... Payet (c) or Kun (c)?

    Also tempted by Silva and Mahrez. Can't decide ๐Ÿ™

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      And I (C)un not believe

    2. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kun.

    3. Does it Mata
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I have Kun this GW!

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'm on Mahrez.
      I swapped Hazard to Kun at the last minute last week and wanted to explode my laptop screen after. LOL.
