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.

          Suggested changes:

          - de Gea to Hennessy, purely for cash saving purposes.

          - I'd be wary of Sagna long term as Zabaleta is only a week or so away. Might be better looking elsewhere or upgrading to Kolarov. Without Kompany/Mangala the defence as a unit looks a lot shakier.

          - Davies may not be nailed on long-term, prefer Alderweireld from the Spurs defence although i'm unwilling to invest in it at the moment as the fixtures aren't that great.

          - Hangeland doesn't seem nailed on either with Delaney expected back after the international break. Go Souaré if you still want to invest in Palace defence, but I like Cathcart in Watford's defence, if they keep this up he looks set for bonus points too.

          - Wanyama over Watson, more nailed on.

          - Don't like the United double up given the fixtures. But I don't blame you. Look at Pellé/Mané if you want to replace Martial/Mata.

          Should have enough for Vardy now. ๐Ÿ˜›

        Hi!
        Have you got any response yet elsewhere?

        Otherwise I will give you a short one.

        He looked good and fresh, although you could see him not being fully fit. He really needed to play that game in order to get up to football speed. Nice toches with the ball and as always a magician, but only at 60-70% energy. Found his team mates and gave good passes and opportunities to them. Got subbed off after +60 min because he wasn't yet fully fit.

        Good enough? ๐Ÿ™‚

      I think as there is so much money washing around people are more inclined to guard against an injury than concern themselves with 0.2.

      Not a "right " time really. The other chips all have the potential of getting you benefits in DGW's. There are 2 occasions in my opinion when the AOA is useful. When your defensive rotation doesn't work for a week but your 8th attacker is ok. (I think this may be the case for me in GW 12) Or just when you beleive your 8th mid will outscore your 3rd def.

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

        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

        When you make that face are you shocked at how brilliant it is yet how cost effective?

    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)

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

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

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

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

      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.

        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.
