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.

    When asked if there is anything he fears, the Chelsea star said: “Just God.

    “I think If you fear someone, another person it is not a good thing. I respect. I have respect for my parents, my wife, my daughter and God.

    "But respect, not fear. I don't have fear. I have respect. For example, if there is a massive guy and he comes over and we are going to have a problem, I don't get involved with him.

    "I don't fear him but I respect him.”

      I don't understand how anyone can fear our supposedly "benevolent" god...

      What a load of b***s this statement is, although it's not as bad as Hamiltons!

      (From Hamiltons BBC blog)

      I have always wanted to learn the piano, but because I travel so much I can never get any consistency of lessons. So everywhere I go, if I can find a piano, even if it is in the lobby of a hotel or something, I go on YouTube and pick some songs to learn.

      Sometimes I just do it by ear and it is really coming together. At the moment, I can play three songs pretty much - Someone Like You by Adele, Easy (Like Sunday Morning) by the Commodores and When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars.

      I'm trying to get those off really well before I focus on some others. And I'm thinking maybe over the winter I might try to get some lessons sorted.

      SO BORING

        I found this one pretty cringeworthy -

        "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that my new hairstyle attracted a lot of attention when I arrived at Monza for the start of the Italian Grand Prix weekend on Thursday.

        I had it dyed blond a few days ago in Los Angeles. It was just something I fancied doing on the spur of the moment.

        I am in a very experimental period of my life. I like taking risks, I like trying new things, whether it be style or restaurants or whatever.

        I was at the hairdresser and I just thought: "I'm going to try it, let's do it." Zero cares.

        It's short term. I'll keep it for this weekend and then I'll probably go back next week, and who knows, maybe I'll do something different."

        http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/features/34102233

        Zero cares. ZERO CARES! He likes taking risks such as 'going to new restaurants!' Somebody tame this wild beast.

    Does this sound reasonable? Save this week with this team:

    Myhill;

    Bellerin, Moreno, Azpilicueta;

    KDB, Sanchez(C), Mahrez(VC), Mane, Ayew;

    Pelle, Costa

    Hennessey, Ighalo, B Davies, Hangeland 0.1ITB

    And do Costa+Ayew -> Lukaku + Sterling and AOA next week. Also leaves good money to replace Myhill with DDG potentially week after.

      not sure the AOA is necessary... and not totally sold on the transfers either... Costa is going to be a good option until Aguero is back, and Sterling has been useless until Bournemouth at home... will be intresting to see how he does against United, but my guess is he wont do well.

      I captained Mahrez GW8, after having had it on Vardy all week. Turned out it was a disaster either way since Aguero ran riot. I had Payet (vc) nevertheless so it didn't turn out too bad, but could have been much, much better.

      I've had the (c) armband on Vardy all week, don't want to make the same mistake again. Mahrez is a great pick, with set pieces, pens, extra points per goal, his direct runs etc. Can't deny Vardy's form though.

      Tough one, but I'll probably stick with Vardy.

    I am planning to replace Sako because of the rotation risk... and I have enough MITB to but anyone.

    Right now I have

    Sanchez - Payet - Mahrez - Yaya - Sako
    Vardy - Pelle - Ighalo

    So Sako to who? There are so many options when there are no limits...

    KDB?
    Sterling?
    Cabaye?
    Wijnaldum?
    Walcott?
    Özil?
    Keep Sako?

      Short term I would go for Sterling,
      After aguero comes back I would look at KDB

      C seems the most reasonable, AOA with both of them playing Liverpool wouldn't be too sensible.

        Yea, either Mane or Pelle to be benched there. Tough one but leaning toward C. Last chance for Ayew.

        I would go with B.
        But the fixture seems good against AVL.
        So yea C. Probably bench Mane

    A seems to be a good idea, I would bring in Bellerin.
    C seems to also be a good idea, though shorter term when aguero comes back.
    Don't do B think week, Ayew has a good fixture
