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.

      Yes.

      Vardy or Sakho probably. There are a number of good options in the 6.5M price bracket.

      If you have a bit of cash in the bank, maybe Pelle

    So I'm between these 3 moves this week:

    A) Stick
    B) Pedro -> Wally (-4)
    C) Pedro -> Silva (-4)

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

    Rudd, Pelle, Coates, Targett
    Bank 0.6m, 0FT

    If I don't do B) then I will likely do Pedro/Silva -> Wally in GW10. So it kind of comes down to this:

    A) Pedro (SOT, AVL) + 4 points
    B) Silva (NEW, BOU)
    C) Walcott (MUN, wat) + 1.0m + an extra free transfer

    If Yaya is out, take him out for a hit and who is the best replacement?

    A) Mata (horrible fixtures, but now on penos?)
    B) KDB (if Silva is back won't be able to hog the ball as in previous games)
    C) Hazard (worth it to keep the faith?)
    D) Walcott (have Sanchez, Walcott is obviously great if he plays, but will he again be just a string of cameos)
    E) Mane (is gametime guaranteed now?)
    F) Silva (is he fit?)

    Already have Sanchez, Payet, Mahrez, Redmond. And had Walcott, Mane and Hazard at the start of the season.

    Time to play the AOA chip? With Reid's injury, Gomez dropped and not wanting to play Darmian, I don't have a great defence but I do have Hoolahan as my fifth mid, and he has a good fixture.

      Whereas my defence is weak with Muniesa dropped and Ward injured.

          Yeah, Hoolahan getting rested is the worry but I'm thinking the same. I don't think I'd ever play the AOA chip for a DGW any way because the other chips are better and quite often defenders score heavily in DGW's.

      hmm, I would say Mata, but his fixtures aren't encouraging, same with Mane...
      Why take Yaya out anyways?
      He got an assist last time out didnt he?

        Mane not encouraging fixtures? After saving FT this week, im probably getting two Southampton players for their next 5 games, who all look exciting for me

    Roberto Martinez is speaking to the media ahead of the Liverpool derby.

    Asked about the fitness of John Stones and Seamus Coleman: "It's too early to tell, they're progressing well but in their next two sessions we'll get an idea. Clearly we'll make a decision as late as we can"

    a) Bench Wilson and play Richards (STK)

    or

    b) Transfer Wilson ➡ one of: Gestede / Murray / Bojan / Deeney / Ighalo / Gayle

    If b) which striker?

          I don't need to. I've seen him play. And anyway are you sure his shots in the box are actually shots, or is he merely passing to the opposing keeper in a rather feeble way?
