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.

For the edited audio version, you’ll need this link or the handy player below.

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

      WOW, nice team
      Got all the big names there.

      Here's the gist of it:

      Sanchez: awesome form, he's back, but has a stubborn Utd defence
      Hazard: similar maybe, Saints know how to defend
      Aguero: Not fully back, and yet he's scored a couple of penalties recently. My choice
      Payet: Mr consistent. Seems to always do it, even when west ham lose/play crap.
      Martial: kid is on a high, but Arsenal is tough going.

          Aguero is the obvious choice, even with his fails recently. Haz and Sanchez have also misfired, and face way better opposition. It is a bit of a gamble capping a player for West Ham in an away game, but Sunderland isnt really a football team atm so anything could happen. Payet is a really good choice, and probably a bit of a cap differential

    Mertesacker turns like a bus. Can see Martial's agility causing him problens. Mata(c)?

      Not sure I'd captain but I can see United doing their routine win over Arsenal.

      He has always turned like a bus yet never seems to come out of these encounters with egg on his face. Far better than hes given credit for

    With Koscielny out for 3 weeks, should I be reconsidering having an Arsenal defender (currently Bellerin).

    If so who should I replace him with? Already have Kolarov as my other more pricey defender.

    I'm secretly hoping for Mourinho to rule Pedro out so I can bring in Mata for a hit. It looks so tempting.

      I think Kosc out is better for Martial than Mata. But Mata looks a great option atm, no doubt.

      Btw, dream on about Mourinho being that in depth about his starting XI 😀

      I think if we lose he's gone. A draw and he's one game away, imo.

        that's what Jay Riley and others are suggesting. He was given 3 games to win, Villa, Everton and whoever the next game is against. It's only speculation

          Oh i see, fair enough. I've been following Riley a while and he always seems to give the impression that Rodgers isn't go anywhere. Maybe something's changed recently
