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.

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

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

    "The “HoF Rating” is based on your points scores from previous FPL seasons, with the latest season weighted the heaviest and each corresponding season weighted at roughly 80% that of the previous season. So, in other words, those who performed best in 2011/12 will receive a bigger HoF Rating boost from those who did best in 2006/07. The “HoF Ranking” even allows for those with missing years, adapting the formula accordingly to allow to rank alongside the veterans of the FPL."

    I've played for longer than 4 seasons, but this is my history on my account now:

    2011/12 2195 6061
    2012/13 2258 3708
    2013/14 2278 113766
    2014/15 2275 1661

    I'm currently around 400th in Hof, would i expect to see a big jump if i finish in the top 5k? And is personal best weighted heavier than consistency in terms of top 10k finishes for example? As in, would i need to break the top 500 to really see a big jump?

        Makes sense i guess, with the latest season weighted heaviest. So even though the 190k finish was recent and therefore weighted strongly in comparison to his previous years, you can still negate that

          A lot harder to finish in the top 500 than the top 1000 where the points split between 500 and 1000 is quite large by the end of the season so more HoF points are given.

          Nice was between him and Bojan for me. Opted for the cheaper alternative mainly because I haven't seen enough of Gestede to make any conclusions but he seems to be very confident in front of goal and is taking his limited chances. Deadly in the air too.
