The ScoutCast – Episode 170 – Bingo

Forget two fat ladies, in ScoutCast Bingo it’s all about three men with paunches chatting Fantasy Football fortunes, rattling out a few familiar clichés 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 “blimeys”.

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.

                      Just saying take a second look at the defence. I don't think apart from maybe the keepers it is as bad as it first seems. It is cheap though.

                        I'm a fan of flexibility. What if Chelsea/MCI and even MUN tighten up ATB?

                        They may well. But does it matter as long as I can put out 3 defenders from decent defensive teams per week. The rotation works apart from GW 12 I think it is where I might just AOA and the defenders are from decent defences.

                        Apart from Janmaat that is. He is just for fun.

                        It is the keeper position which I am not so keen on.

                  Yeah. I feel uneasy about the GK's too. But to get the rest of it I cannot have a second playing keeper/5th playing defender. I could choose another 4.5 of course like Butand who will not lose his place.

                    You won't like the suggestion, but Janmat looks a bit of a luxury in that defence.

                      It crossed my mind as well. But I got him 4.9 even if I reduced him to a 4.5 it only frees up 0.4 it wouldn't get me a second playing keeper and from next week he will be the defender people want.

          I think with Silva back, YYT will involve lesser in attack even if he starts. Ighalo vs Bournemouth is more attractive to me.

                  I'm more worried that unless he is fully fit, he starts and last about 15 minutes then feels his hammy and goes off. Hope Pellegrini wouldn't start him if he's not 100 percent but did he do that in the Champions League?

                    True, it's what worries me but all I can do for now is pray and wait for the pressers. If there's a chance he may not be 100% I'll bench him.

    Mane's 2 fixtures over International Break

    8/10 vs Egypt & 13/10 (Tuesday) vs Algeria

    He will NOT be playing 16/10 (Friday) qualifier vs Guinea.

    It's true Koeman has often rested him after the Int. Break but don't take it for granted. Like Mahrez he will have more than 50 hours to recover which should be enough IMO. Koeman must have already realized how vital he is for the team as last time resting him resulted in defeat. He won't be having any midweek game after Leicester game so I think Mane rest after Int. Break myth will be busted this time around. Worth noting this is exactly the kind of fixture Mane would love to tear apart especially with Leicester's defensive form. If you really want him don't let that factor deter your judgement.

        This time the match is on Tuesday. He has played on Wednesdays & Thursdays. Of course I'm not 100% sure he'll be starting but I think he's more likely than not starting this time considering that they lost the last time around by benching him. And I don't think he was benched every time after the Int. Break. If somebody did research on this that would be helpful.

    I mentioned this idea during the day and just thought I would post it again to see what people thought or how best to achieve it:

    Would anyone agree that it would be fun to team up with one other member and do a tourament based upon tag team.

    You can choose which of the two teams you put out each week verses another combo. Every few weeks you have a joint week where both of your teams have to play against another team. Then maybe twice a season you have a Royal Rumble where you maybe compete with 7 other teams with the winner getting something like 10 x the regular win points. It could make the final games of the season quite exciting.

    Holding Wilson, Shaqiri and Gomez this week (bench) then immediately after the deadline (before a 2 week int break, which may be stupid) transferring to Pelle, Alli and Nyom for a -4 to give

    Bego, McCarthy
    Kolarov, Cresswell, Nyom (Gomez), Francis, Evans
    Sanchez, Ayew, Mahrez, Payet, Alli (Shaq)
    Aguero, Martial, Pelle (Wilson)

    This is purely due to being priced out of this if I wait, and I can't find a good replacement for Wilson without a hit atm and the longer I hold the more money I lose. Anyone got any good advice for holding off (I know a -4 before a 2 week break may be a disaster if there are injures, but I have no real weak links in that team and would happily play them all)

    why is that?
    how can i tell which arent from this season?
    why arent they all dynamic?
    why arent the old/non-dynamic ones removed?

    theyre worse than useless if theyre using old data and we're making decisions based on previous seasons.

    Morning DZ,

    So I'm still on the fence with this one. Fairly certain of WCing in GW11 but unsure what to do with Mane/Pelle (fixtures) and Pelle (rumours of being dropped).

    Any thoughts appreciated. Cheers.

    A) Stick - the conservative play. Hope Pedro plays and Mane/Pelle turn up despite the tricky fixtures

    B) Pedro -> Walcott [-4] - similar fixtures over the next 3 but Walcott is playing OOP, is a massive goal threat and is on form. The risk of Pedro getting dropped is also a concern given he's been poor the past few weeks and Willian has looked good.

    C) Mane & Pelle -> Walcott & Berahino [-8] - brings in 2 form players with good fixtures and means I get to keep Pedro for his next 2 good fixtures. The 8 pointer is the main concern here, but will Saints get much away at Che and Liv?

    Both B and C leave a decent chunk of change (1.6m) for defensive upgrades next week.

    Ruddy
    Bellerin, Kolarov, Huth
    Sanchez, Pedro, Mane, Mahrez
    Aguero, Pelle, Vardy

        Away at Chelsea? I know they've been bad, but I don't expect SOT to score more than 1 at the bridge.

        I'm currently favouring B - Walcott looks a menace and I think he'll outscore Pedro by more than 4 over the next 3. Thoughts?

              I'm not sure I want to hazard a guess how the Walcott lottery will turn out. Could be gold if he starts all three... Or he could be on the bench for two. Walcott would be a calculated risk if you went for him.

                  Such a tricky one. If it was for a FT I would think Silva (if fully fit) or Walcott would be reasonable transfers - one safe and sound, one risk and reward. For a hit I'm just not sure. Walcott has a higher ceiling and a lower floor. Silva has nicer fixtures.

        He has improved in recent games, I am monitoring him, and seriously consider to bring him in once Spurs fixtures improved. Cheap and very low ownership, only problem is he is trying too hard to prove himself and earn him some YCs.

      I would want to get rid of the Ruddy Rudd Coates Targett as soon as possible, but as to WC, there are other ways. The rest of the team is solid. Barring injuries, you can slowly sort it.

      May be. Because you still need to solve Ruddy Rudd Coates Targett Sinclair and may be some unexpected injuries or banned players.

    Go with Berahino or the massively overlooked Diouf?
