Forget two fat ladies, in ScoutCast Bingo itโ€™s all about three men with paunches chatting Fantasy Football fortunes, rattling out a few familiar clichรฉs along the way.

Thanks to Numbโ€™s witty community contribution, this weekโ€™s episode finds us gripping our dabbers in preparation for mispronunciations, dropped connections and a regular helping of โ€œblimeysโ€.

Around those fun and games, we tackle the serious matters โ€“ assessing the merits of Sergio Aguero, Callum Wilsonโ€™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, youโ€™ll need this link or the handy player below.

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

    Quote from Guardian match report for Liverpool game:

    Liverpool started with only four players likely to retain their places for the Everton game – Simon Mignolet, Emre Can, Nathaniel Clyne and Ings. The rest had the opportunity to press their claims for Goodison Park and Lallana was quick to promote his cause. Joe Gomez, with a composed, intelligent display on the left of a three-man defence, followed suit.

    Anybody holding out any hopes that BR might reinstate him? Or time to cut ties?

      Just had a more detailed look at their fixtures. Hmm think it is time to get rid regardless.

        Injuries happen. Gomez could get reinstated. If you got him with price rises, you won't be losing money, only profits.

      From the highlights he looked pretty average to me. Almost gave away a goal when he got too close to a defender who turned him inside the box

      I am keeping him because to get rid of him would involve a hit. Dont expect him to start but who knows with Brent in charge, he could put him right wing, he could ask him to preform some interpretive dance to a jazz solo on the sideline. The man is a fool and a charlatan.

      Agree on fixtures, hes out next week for me

        Stuck in the same situation as you. Need to take a hit just to remove him. However, Moreno is just a horror game away (esp in a derby) and you know BR would be willing to drop him again.

        Shame about the fixtures though, it's time to get rid before he plummets in price

        Bassong isnt clearly going to keep a CS against Leicester that's for sure. And I do have to get rid of Gomez and Targett sooner or later. But yeah the risk of taking a hit and the replacement not getting a CS is still very high

    hi DZ, one quick question: if i am leading my ML by 1 point and my main rival is captaining aguero, but i am not keen on putting the armband on him, should i still follow my rival to maintain the lead? or i am being too cautious? trying to figure out the best strategic move!

    Anyone seen the trailer for The Revenant? This movie apparently has major Oscar buzz. Directed by Iñárritu (Birdman, Babel), & stars Leonardo DiCaprio & Tom Hardy. More importantly, it has the best cinematographer in the business, Emmanuel Lubezki (Birdman, Gravity, Children of Men).

      That's really breaking the balance in my team since he's been out.

        hey Arvin - i think he is. He played last week with the broken bones. And he has actually been wearing that cast for the longest time ever since his wrist issues last season. I wouldn't worry.

        Don't forget, this is the Vardy who played through a foot problem throughout the end of last season. He's got some guts this fella.

      GW8 last season...110 points, 232,668 > 12,389 and never looked back.

      Not very confident about GW8 this time around though.

        I got something like 50 points that week. No Southampton, Agüero, Baines etc. I will never recover from it.

          I remember I was very lucky to get that haul. in GW6 last season, I had Rooney Ramsey out, and just enough cash to do Rooney Ramsey plus a defender to Aguero Tadic Baines for -4. So glad I took that hit.

          Good luck for this week Root.

      probably going to get bottomed, but evening gents!

      I'm in a 15-man league draft league (unique ownership) at https://draftfantasyfootball.co.uk/

      with Son out, is Chadli nailed? tempted to start him over Sako..this is the lineup I'm looking at:

      .....................Myhill
      ......Kolarov - Francis - Davies
      Sanchez - Mahrez - Ritchie - Chadli
      ......Jerome - Gestede - Sakho

      De Gea; Sako, Naughton, Koscielny
