‘Twas the night before Christmas when three bearded men, wallowing in mid-table mediocrity, collided via the magic of the internet to relay tales of Fantasy Football.

Settle down – the festive ScoutCast is upon us.

Like the “Three Ronnies”, Jonty, Andy and myself roll out the same old tried and trusted formula in the guise of an extended Christmas special.

We relive the painfully ordinary Gameweek 17, before girding our loins for another bout of community questions as the three us make woeful excuses for avoiding Ighalo, before debating whether the “Dullards” really have slain the “Maverick” Fantasy managers for good.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired live on our YouTube channel.

You can stream the full Google Hangout version via the larger player below, or sample the slightly more refined audio edit via this link or the smaller player.

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

  1. Saniul

    10 years, 15 hours ago

    Bench one.

    de Bruyne - Ozil - Walcott - Mahrez - Bolasie
    Kane - Vardy - Lukaku.

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 15 hours ago

      Vardy

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 15 hours ago

        this

      2. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 15 hours ago

        Why Vardy?

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 15 hours ago

          6 attempts in his last 4

      3. Saniul
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 15 hours ago

        Why? Is he not fit again, and up against a Skrtel-less already terrible Liverpool defence?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 15 hours ago

          Is he a benching option for you?

          1. Saniul
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 15 hours ago

            He is, but I am more inclined towards Bolasie, learning that he is doubtful for the game.

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 14 hours ago

              Personally I wouldn't bench players based on being a doubt, let auto subs do that. Though for what it's worth I'd bench Bolasie anyway.

    2. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 15 hours ago

      very tough. probably vardy just... only because you have Mahrez as well for me

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Bolasie for me

  2. Oz lotto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 15 hours ago

    Have 2FT and no clue what the hell to do - have a WC to use after this GW.

    Kane --> Kun
    &
    Cou -->
    A) Wally
    B) Ramsey
    C) Bolasie
    D) Siggy

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 15 hours ago

      B

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 15 hours ago

        thanks mate. I think it has to be one of the two Arsenal lads

    2. Saniul
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 15 hours ago

      Get Sterling. Could be big against Sunderland.

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 15 hours ago

        maxed on city... will have Kola, KdB and Kun

        1. Saniul
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 14 hours ago

          Okay, I would get Walcott in that case. Playing down the left these days, and Cedric/Yoshida (whoever plays) is not really good at that defending thing.

          1. Oz lotto
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 14 hours ago

            Yoshida is THE WORST. But Cedric is the liability that forces Koeman to play him OOP

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 15 hours ago

      A

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 15 hours ago

        cheers mate. I'm really fancying Theo and what he might produce with a run of games and fitness

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 14 hours ago

          He's definitely a punt though. High risk high reward. B is the 'safer' option.

          1. Oz lotto
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 14 hours ago

            yeah 100%. Think Sig might be the other option. tough times

    4. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 15 hours ago

      Doesn't everyone have a WC to use after this GW?

      B

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 hours ago

        nope... after next GW

    5. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Ramsey. Siggy looks like a decent shout

  3. Pochecinno
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 15 hours ago

    Jonas Olsson looks pretty nailed on doesn't he?

    1. Saniul
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 15 hours ago

      That's because Evans has been playing at DM in the absence of Yacob. Once Yacob is back, who knows.

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 hours ago

        You think he will continue with Brunt in defence if that happens?

        1. Saniul
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 14 hours ago

          Yes, why not. Brunt is an important player for the team.

    2. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 15 hours ago

      definitely

      1. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 hours ago

        No hes not

    3. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Not nailed on, but he might play 1 game during the festive period.

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 hours ago

        Cheers guys. Will assess tomorrow then. I want a WBA defender after that and 4.3 is a bargain

  4. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 15 hours ago

    I really want to play Alli this week. Do I drop someone for him, play AoA, or stick?

    Butland
    Kolarov - Bellerin - Dawson
    Silva - Ozil - Coutinho - Mahrez
    Lukaku - Vardy - Aguero

    Hennessey ; Alli - Ogbonna - Moreno

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      I'd stick

  5. IWR
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    Is Janmaat-Dann for a hit stupid?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Not a stupid move, for a hit, yes. And why get Dann when you can get Ward for over a million cheaper?

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Aye.

    3. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Not for a hit

    4. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      silly for a hit

  6. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    Would you play Coleman (new) or mert (sou)?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Coleman

    2. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Coleman for attacking potential, Mertesacker for CS potential. Merts then

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Goalman.

    4. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      easily coleman

    5. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Cheers

  7. Beautiful Game
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    Bench one :

    Mahrez, Ozil, Kdb, Wijnaldum, Bolasie
    Kane, Lukaku, Vardy

    Play one :
    Hennessey or Myhill

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Wijnaldum/Vardy

      Hennessey

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Have you narrowed it down to any?

      1. Beautiful Game
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 hours ago

        Wijnaldum to bench and Hennessey to play but can't make up mind

    3. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Wijnaldum

  8. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    Myhill
    Walker Bellerin Zouma
    Coutinho Ozil Silva Mahrez
    Vardy Lukaka Kane

    Mccarthy* Souare Gosling Moreno

    4.5m ITB & 1FT

    A) McCarthy out for Butland
    B) Coutinho out for Rambo
    C) Save FT

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      C

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Save

  9. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    No King, no Stanislas.
    Madness to play Hennessy ahead of Butland?

    1. Gaffa914
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Yes

  10. Gaffa914
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    Firmino to Mahrez for a hit?

    1. Gaffa914
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Or should I bring all in?

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Yes

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      If you've waited this long to get him id wait another week and do it for free.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 hours ago

        This

    4. IWR
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Go for it

    5. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Four weeks too late

    6. 1zverGGademN
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Bring Mahrez as fast as possible! He is onfire and should win the best scorer in the game. You can cap him without any regret then 😉

  11. simonbevan
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    Would anyone transfer Ighalo for Kane GW18?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Does this mean in for Kane or out for Kane?

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 hours ago

        Think he means igalo out given fixtures. I'd say no.

  12. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    What are the likelihood of any decent DGWs going forward?

    Not used any chips and his may be an opportunity to bench boost, I don't want to save unnecessarily (and unlikely DGWs will suit bench boost...)

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      There will almost certainly be DGWs. Whether they are decent or not depends on cup results.

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 hours ago

        Fair one... I just can't see hat the DGW is necessarily going to be best time to bench boost...

        1. che
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 13 hours ago

          Of course it is. Instead of having 11 playing twice you could have 15! Especially if you WC the week before, you can plan it

  13. Mr. Funny Name
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    Hennessey or Myhill?

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Myhill... Bournemouth love goalfests

  14. simonbevan
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    Ighalo out, Kane in?

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      No, not for me

    2. Mr. Funny Name
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      No don't do it

    3. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Yes if you intend to (c) kane

    DDG, Myhill
    Dann, Bellerin, Toby, Wollscheid, Evans
    KDB, Ozil, Mahrez, Coutinho, Alli
    Vardy, Lukaku, Ighalo

    What would you change if you had a WC? I've got 7.3 itb

    1. Mr. Funny Name
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      Nothing

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years

  17. Eden Hazardous
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 hours ago

    Which Premier League team has conceded the most no. of shots?

    1. Mr. Funny Name
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 hours ago

      This a rhetorical question?

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
