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.

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

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

    Today's press conferences:

    "Arsenal face Everton on Saturday Night Football - Arsene Wenger speaks to our cameras from 9.30am, the same time West Brom boss Tony Pulis addresses the press.

    The Baggies face Norwich on Saturday and their manager Alex Neil is next ‘in the chair’ this morning.

    We'll get the latest from Aston Villa’s Tim Sherwood around 10.30am and we'll hear from Jose Mourinho at Chelsea at lunchtime.

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is speaking to us around 12.30pm and Man City’s Manuel Pellegrini gives us his thoughts on the Manchester derby from 1pm.

    Sam Allardyce will then be discussing Sunderland’s derby with Newcastle on his mind before Southampton manager Ronald Koeman does the honours at 2.30pm.

    Also this afternoon - Mark Hughes looks ahead to Stoke's game with Watford and, last but not least, we'll be hearing from Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford from around 4pm."

      Toby over davies or Dawson
      You have two rotation risk GK (one currently none playing) if you can. Keep till wildcard (if you've still got it - if not. Keep till winter wildcard)

    Drop one of these 8 (don't have aao, seriously, they should give you more of those)

    Sanchez mahrez (c) Mane Coutinho Cabaye
    Martial Costa Ayoze

    Got to be mane hasn't it? Which isn't ideal. Palace match and Tyne wear derby will surely both be goal fest

          I like that shout , but once Aguero and silva comes back will sterling keep his place? I don't mind the short term punt though

      Sterling is an option too. De Bruyne's consistency is very good.
