The ScoutCast – Episode 170 – Bingo

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.

    If Yaya is out, take him out for a hit and who is the best replacement?

    A) Mata (horrible fixtures, but now on penos?)
    B) KDB (if Silva is back won't be able to hog the ball as in previous games)
    C) Hazard (worth it to keep the faith?)
    D) Walcott (have Sanchez, Walcott is obviously great if he plays, but will he again be just a string of cameos)
    E) Mane (is gametime guaranteed now?)
    F) Silva (is he fit?)

    Already have Sanchez, Payet, Mahrez, Redmond. And had Walcott, Mane and Hazard at the start of the season.

        Wait for the City presser. If Yaya remains doubtful I'd sell him 1st as you'll have better alternatives in his price range.

          Good fixtures coming up and no other good players in his bracket this week anyway imo

    Loving this compare teams feature in the members area. Spurs have played better than west ham this season, according to it. I'm happy with that ๐Ÿ™‚

    Time to play the AOA chip? With Reid's injury, Gomez dropped and not wanting to play Darmian, I don't have a great defence but I do have Hoolahan as my fifth mid, and he has a good fixture.

    What are people's thoughts on the AOA chip? Play it on a week like this or save it for a post- or pre-WC week?

        Depends how many double gameweeks you think we're going to have, given it's the least effective of the chips...

      I'm considering playing it myself this week. I think having Hoolahan as a fifth kid makes it very tempting. Got a front 8 of:

      Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez, Hoolahan
      Aguero, Martial, Ighalo.

      Whereas my defence is weak with Muniesa dropped and Ward injured.

        I think I'll play it. There is a risk of Hoolahan being rested and the chip going to waste, but I'm not convinced of its value anyway.

          Yeah, Hoolahan getting rested is the worry but I'm thinking the same. I don't think I'd ever play the AOA chip for a DGW any way because the other chips are better and quite often defenders score heavily in DGW's.

      I think that chip is best for times like this. Bad defence and good fixture for attackign sub...why not?

      In the double weeks you're going to want to play the other chips anyway.

      Seems a perfect time play it. The AOA chip is the least useful of all the chips, can be played exactly in circumstances you have

    WC team here gents - any pointers?

    Begovic - Henessey
    Kolarov - Bellerin - Williams - Evans - Nyom
    Sanchez - Mata - Payet - Mahrez - Westwood
    Aguero - Lukaku - Sakho

    Happy with double hammers for Sunderland - will then likely switch Sakho to one of the various budget strikers.

    Williams still worth hanging on to? Was looking at Janmaat too....
