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.

              This week? Yes. I think Speroni unfortunately gets his spot back, although maybe not straight away if Hennessey does well again this weekend

          Nice was between him and Bojan for me. Opted for the cheaper alternative mainly because I haven't seen enough of Gestede to make any conclusions but he seems to be very confident in front of goal and is taking his limited chances. Deadly in the air too.

      Rises are more multiplied NTI based whereas drops are % based. They got the 2nd drop right so doubt the 3rd drop would get accelerated. They had Martial at 4x rather than 3x.

      Away at Chelsea may not be what it was but is still not a game to take a hit for the opposing player.

    11.5 hours and still only 58% of the Windows 10 update is done. One day maybe they will speed up this connection.

    Bego McCarthy*
    Kolarov Naughton Evans Gomez* Targett*
    Sanchez Mahrez Coutinho Yaya* Westwood
    Kun Wilson* Gomis

    Liverpool Derby this weekend, are those games normally high scoring or low? I wonder if Sturridge could be the man this weekend, rested for it and everything.

      High scoring game for sure. I think he'll get points, but I want to keep Aguero for one more week vs. Newcastle then Sturridge is coming in for me
