The ScoutCast – Episode 172 – Fuzzy

We take Fantasy Football seriously. So much so, myself, Granville and Jonty find time each week to join up online and natter semi-aimlessly about it. Some of you even go so far to watch and listen. We all take Fantasy Football that seriously.

That’s why we dedicate this episode of the ScoutCast to Fuzzy Warbles, whose passion for Fantasy Football drove him to scribe a long letter to the Premier League. In doing so, he raised his head above the parapet to gain the attention from the mainstream press and various Twitterati.

Predictably, that attention was somewhat confused as to why someone would care so much about a few points to muster an 800-word email.

We know why.

The three of us are more than happy to waste more words discussing “CedricGate”, the catalyst for Fuzzy’s irritation.

Before that, we analyse Gameweek 9, discuss the contrasting fortunes of Jamie Vardy, Anthony Martial and Eden Hazard, plus assess the Gameweek 11 fixture swing. We may have a few chuckles along the way, but we’re taking it very seriously.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first broadcast live on our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. You can view the full version on the larger movie player below.

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

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

      Martial on the bench seems like the right choice.

    For all that is holy, I hope Klopp makes Phillippe stay behind after training for extra shooting practice. If he learns that skill, maybe his 547 shots per match may actually come to something.

      He just needs to hit the target rather than trying to curl every shot in the top corner.

    not wading in on the fuzzy thing as such, but part of me, for a second, was embarrassed at the fact that the articles slagging him off were because he took it so seriously. which really is more or less slagging all of us here, as we're all taking it too seriously, though maybe not quite as much a stickler for technicalities.
    that said i'd hate anyone in my league knowing i was here gaining an "unfair" advantage

      I suppose in a way it did hold up the mirror to the community; a reminder of how the outside world vies us 😆 A bit like when TalkSport first started with that FPL segment, and the way they derided 'The Scout' like he was some kind of basement-dwelling oddity.

      That's doing Hazard and Ighalo to Mahrez and Kane!

      Or should I..
      A - Stick with Hazard
      B - Hazard to Eriksen
      C - Hazard to Mahrez only?
