Forget two fat ladies, in ScoutCast Bingo it’s all about three men with paunches chatting Fantasy Football fortunes, rattling out a few familiar clichΓ©s along the way.

Thanks to Numb’s witty community contribution, this week’s episode finds us gripping our dabbers in preparation for mispronunciations, dropped connections and a regular helping of β€œblimeys”.

Around those fun and games, we tackle the serious matters – assessing the merits of Sergio Aguero, Callum Wilson’s replacements and my range of Christmas jumpers.

All those hard-hitting issues are addressed via another round of community questions, following on from our review of Gameweek 7 as Granville fights the urge to gloat having opened up a 40 point lead over yours truly.

This episode of the ScoutCast was broadcast live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday evening. You can view the full Google Hangout on the larger player below.

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

    This is a repeat from last night. Don't be fooled !!

    1. Richd

      It's gonna be on Dave next year

    2. Hooky

      10 years, 2 months ago

      Think you are getting it confused with the hairy bikers.

  6. Anyone watched Matt Le Tissier on Countdown? Bit embarrassing though that they blatantly hand-picked two absolutely rubbish opponents for him to get a couple of wins under his belt for the publicity.

    1. the axolotl
      • 14 Years

      were they david beckham and kammy?

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights

      2 fat ladies hugging is a 0

    I think I'm all set for this GW πŸ™‚

    McCarthy
    Francis Kolarov Bellerín
    Barkley Yaya Mahrez Payet Sánchez {VC}
    Pellè Sturridge {C}

    Butland… Ighalo Prödl Fonte

    FT: 0
    ITB: 2.4
    TV: 102.1

    Looks good?

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      YYT Looks likely to miss the game.

      I would play Prodl over Bellerin. πŸ™‚

      1. Trigg ⭐️

        Source on Yaya?

            10 years, 2 months ago

            Uh oh.
            and in the first half from what I recall, Man U didn't even look to threatening and I honestly think Wenger can shut them out.

    2. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero could go nuts in the next 2 home games. And people will (C) him. Could be damaging.

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I ditched him last week,
        Got rid of Gomis this week πŸ™‚

        1. Trigg ⭐️
          • 13 Years

          Great if he fails! If not, you're not looking good πŸ˜†

            • 10 Years

            It will be quite surprising to me if he starts firing like last season anytime soon.
            But what I'm positive about is that by Christmas I'm sure he'll find his form and I've got enough flexibility to bring him in πŸ™‚

            1. Trigg ⭐️
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

                He's not looking himself tbh

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      And Ighalo would replace Yaya if he did not start, makes sense.

      1. Slam

        πŸ™‚ my thinking

        Super rare chance, but still a possibility

                I have no idea, but that does nothing to my decision.
                Whatever it is, on Sunday, nothing's better than a Merseyside Derby. I see goals, lots of goals. I'de be very disappointed in a 0-0 😐

    I have a soft spot for Borini from a couple of seasons ago. How's he playing?
    Ighalo would probably be sensible option as has some form.

    1. Trigg ⭐️

      Done nothing so far. But good fixtures on the horizon.

        1. mr gruber
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I am considering Lens in a couple of weeks

          Not 100% on Igalo cos he not always played great or been on pitch for 090m, so a chance on borini may be worth it

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            I'm just not convinced by Watford's goalscoring. At least Sunderland have 2 nice home games.

  23. Bøwstring The Carp

    Not sure if it has been mentioned but Chelsea are set to sign free agent Marco Amelia, a former AC Milan goalkeeper

        Yup, but if I know he won't play(he drops as well) I will take a hit. Don't want to take hit now if he still can play and score...

        1. Slam
          • 10 Years

          I wouldn't take a hit even if he's confirmed out. (Have Ighalo, hehe πŸ˜‰ )
          In all seriousness, I think when he returns he'll bang in a brace and punish all the sellers

    Which of these two is more reliable?

    http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk

    or

    http://fantasyfootballfix.com/price/

    Fpl statics is showing Redmond on -96.8, while footballfix -79.8

    I'm going to transfer him, but not until press news tomorrow. But if he will fall tonight I will have to do it tonight.

    What do you guys think?

      -100.0 is needed to fall

          Eesh. πŸ™ Haven't been around too much this week. Which sucks.
          Shaqiri was one and who was the other?

          Anyway, I use these websites as guides, never base my transfers upon them πŸ™‚

                I have no idea, if I did I'd have my own price rise site.

        De Bruyne wasn't 100 last time, but he rose in price anyway.

        Any difference between risers and fallers? Like if a player passes 95 he's more likely to rise than a faller that's on -95?

          Martial's 3rd rise was at about 75% I think so not really.

      Am another Redmond owner however I don't think he will fall.

      If you check his daily NTI then people are actually buying him rather than selling him probably aided by his point score last week.

        I've checked that also. That's why I'm so confused to see Redmond getting closer to -100 today than what he was yesterday.

        Are you keeping or selling? And why?

          Keeping and playing as have YYT who probably will not play.

          Would play him in over Ayew too personally which is my other bench option.

          Am keeping for now, am sure he was only rested rather than dropped last weekend and after scoring I think he could kick on, perfect game this weekend against a poor defence.

        Just to add Fiso has +303 NTI today and Total FPL +291 NTI today

        So although he is close to a drop he is edging more towards 0 than the -100% needed for a fall,albeit at a very very slow rate.

        That said, price drops have been totally unpredictable this season.

          Thank for that information.

          If he doesn't do something on the weekend he will most likely fall in price.

          I'm just wondering if he will play or start on the bench. But your speculation is that he was being rested? Just wondering why, doesn't really make sence.

          Funny, I've also got Ayew and don't know what to do with them both. Which player to start, which to bench. Or even sell for that matter.

          Isn't benching Redmond more of an option, since Ayew is playing more like a second attacker?
