The ScoutCast – Episode 172 – Fuzzy

We take Fantasy Football seriously. So much so, myself, Granville and Jonty find time each week to join up online and natter semi-aimlessly about it. Some of you even go so far to watch and listen. We all take Fantasy Football that seriously.

That’s why we dedicate this episode of the ScoutCast to Fuzzy Warbles, whose passion for Fantasy Football drove him to scribe a long letter to the Premier League. In doing so, he raised his head above the parapet to gain the attention from the mainstream press and various Twitterati.

Predictably, that attention was somewhat confused as to why someone would care so much about a few points to muster an 800-word email.

We know why.

The three of us are more than happy to waste more words discussing “CedricGate”, the catalyst for Fuzzy’s irritation.

Before that, we analyse Gameweek 9, discuss the contrasting fortunes of Jamie Vardy, Anthony Martial and Eden Hazard, plus assess the Gameweek 11 fixture swing. We may have a few chuckles along the way, but we’re taking it very seriously.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first broadcast live on our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. You can view the full version on the larger movie player below.

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

    Wakey cyber attack on TalkTalk website and said on news personal details could've been hacked.

      You get what you pay for

        It's his website or?

    2. Nascimento

      Never trusted him.

    a lot of drivel gets thrown about here on matchdays

    1. Tabasco
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You don't say

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Most of it banter so shouldn't be taken seriously

  3. Gotta Wijnaldum points

    Play Martial or Pelle?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd play Martial. Ideally both though.

      1. Gotta Wijnaldum points
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        would you play redmond ahead of those two? uncertain he'll start

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I'd bench Redmond

    2. Tabasco
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pellé for me

    3. st4rt__
      • 9 Years

      Pelle.

  4. Jeremiah

    Anyone recommend a good site to get premier league match tickets that aren't part of a package deal?

    Much appreciated 🙂

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Which club?

      1. Jeremiah
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Arsenal 🙂

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Tough club to get tickets for because of their ticketing system. You could try some reliable arsenal Twitter accounts and ask about. There's always a few available at face value

          1. Jeremiah
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            That was the avenue I was thinking myself. Prices on most websites are crazy expensive. Thanks mate.

            1. goriuanx
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Hope you find what you're looking for mate.

  5. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Any advice on which two muppets to start this week from this lot of dross, defensively challenged turds?

    Sagna
    Martin
    Williams
    Richards

    Starting Monreal ...

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      😆

      Williams and Sagna, imo.

  6. GK
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Can anyone help me - is Jay Egersdorff (Costa del Kuqi) a regular on here?

    1. Root
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I don't think so.

  7. hannesdela
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A) Keep Ayew
    B) Sell for Sterling
    C) Sell for Wijnaldum
    D) Sell for Eriksen
    E) Sell for Özil

    My midfield right now: Sanchez - KDB - Payet - Mané - Ayew

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keep for 1 more

      1. hannesdela
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        You fancy him scoring against Aston Villa? Maybe I could keep my FT. In my heads-to-heads league I have a pretty easy match coming up, next week is going to be tougher. His lack of points last week just make me doubt him. I like Özil's form to be honest and would hate for him to star against Everton without me having him.

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I've got him and want Ozil too but Aston Villa...

          1. hannesdela
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Hmm they are leaky yes. Maybe wait for one more week then because I should easily win in my heads-to-heads and then I can make 2 FT's next week 🙂

  8. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which one to bench?

    A) Mané

    B) Ayew

    C) Martial

    1. st4rt__
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Probably C. That said, there's arguments for all three.

    2. Demelbrush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ayew

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Tough one. Mane.

    4. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It's out of A, B or C for me mate. Hope that helps

      1. FPL Maldini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hahaha what a mess this decision is

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Would always favour striker. So it comes down to Mane or Ayew and Mane edges it i recon

          1. FPL Maldini
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            The funny thing is, Martial might play as a winger again haha

            1. Rinseboy
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              True I have a good feeling bout him this week. I'm gonna bet on him!

      2. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        But B in all seriousness

    When was the last time Everton won away to Arsenal in the league?

    1. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No idea, but it will still be that time next week.

    2. goriuanx

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Don't think they won unless I heard the wrong answer.

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Oops. That was 2-2

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

          What day?

          1. Still Unsure
              8 years, 7 months ago

                • 15 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Very surprising.

                1. Still Unsure
                    8 years, 7 months ago

                    That it was so long ago?

                    1. TorresMagic™

                      • 15 Years
                      8 years, 7 months ago

                      Yeah, you would have thought they could have pulled out a win in the last 18 seasons.

                      1. TorresMagic™

                          8 years, 7 months ago

                          Yeah. Some heavy defeats in there too.

              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              I'd probably bin Ighalo.

              I'd save the ft if you only have one.

                • 8 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Yes, just the one. Could miss out on potential points though...

            @Demi.

            Man were you kidding that A. Ayew always scores against his brother J. Ayew or that is some truth in it?

            butland ( myhill )
            Kolarov, Bellerin, Richards ( Targett, Dann )

            Are Stoke solid at the back now? Yeah you guessed it right, Ighalo owner here

            1. st4rt__
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              I'd say so, ShawX coming soon too.

              no. that was a one-off

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                They seemed organised to me. Maybe Swans were that bad?

            3. Gotta Wijnaldum points
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Solid enough to keep out Watford

            • 10 Years

            Have to take into account that the Southampton players will view this match as a trial for a transfer to Liverpool, to meet up with all their mates.

            Gomis > Vardy -4 worth it?

            Opinions please folks.

            A) Martial + any midfielder up to 8.7.
            B) Ighalo + Sanchez (Ighalo will be benched more often than not).

            Current attack:
            KDB/Özil/Payet/Mahrez/Ayew (Ayew is coming out)
            Martial/Vardy/Pelle

            Martial has great fixtures post City, but I'm really not sure about him or United at the moment.

              B, I'd go Ayoze instead of Ighalo though.

                  Actually you know what, you are right I don't know him, but his actions are those of an attention seeker, but I am only making educated assumptions

            How did Liverpool look ? Have no idea what to do with Sturridge, quite sure he won't start on Sunday :/

              They drew with Ruben, they hardly set the game alight.

            In case anyone missed it, I think this is an excellent article on Jamie Vardy by the BBC and whether he can continue banging in the goals
