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.

    Who would you start: Hoolahan or Ighalo?

    Currently on Hoolahan - right choice?

        Hadn't really considered that, you might well be right. Ighalo loves an away goal as well to be fair.

      Ordinarily I'd say Hoolahan, but WBA away are very hard to beat.

      Although WBA are a better defensive unit than Stoke, Norwich seem to be far more of an attacking threat than Watford.

      I only have Myhill so he'll be starting for me, but I think I'd have started Butland ahead of Boaz if I had him.

        11 years, 1 day ago

        Agree with this. With Ramsey out Walcott might be shifted out wide and Giroud returning up top, but there's every chance Wenger will opt for Chamberlain out wide and leave Walcott battling with Giroud. Ozil is a far safer bet and appears to be delivering decent fantasy returns at the moment too.

                        Haa no no. I only came back to it cos i saw Camp mention it. I was expecting it to come again in a future article at some point. Let me re-read the concept...
