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.

        Hah yeah I did notice he takes a ridiculous amount of shots! Not good shooting positions I guess, or just poor finishing?

        With those keepers, the save points seem to give the good scores and bonus points

          Add in the odd penalty save or two (all keepers are capable of that) and suddenly they're right up there...

      AOA? Looks very strong. Might look to get rid of Berahinho but he has managed a couple of goals recently

        Yes mate. Got Williams and Richards on bench. Not keen on dropping the mids/striker.

        I replaced aguero with berahino because or his fixtures. Hopefully he'll score again this weekend.

        Van dijk on my watchlist

          I wouldn't mind playing Richards or Williams but tbf can see why you don't want to bench an attacker

    Hey all, could I please get some advice here.

    Butland - (Myhill)
    Kompany - Dawson - Williams - (Prodl - Gomez)
    KDB - Mane - Ayew - Mahrez - (Bentelab)
    Studge - Vardy - Costa

    0 FT and 2.9 ITB.

    Was wanting to WC next week, but wouldn't mind doing it this week.
    Any transfers for a hit?
    Am concerned Studge and Kompany won't play, and I can';t afford another week with 9 men.

      Sturridge fit could be gold but he won't start IMO .. not keen on Costa either 🙂

        I am thinking Lukaku, but on the other hand I would love to double up on City attack in next 2GWs 🙂 There is also Barkley .. too many options 😀
