Excess baggage checked in, deckchairs reserved and sun block applied – the Scoutcast team are all ready to hit the beach.

Smack in the middle of Gameweek 37, with points flowing from all angles, not even Hal Robson Kanu’s late goal can upset the pre-vacation mood.

Stringing five men across the midfield, Luke and Az join Jonty, Andy and myself for a bumper end of season episode as we tackle another volley of questions from you, the community.

We conduct a post-mortem on the flurry of chips, weigh up the Gameweek 38 punts, put together our final day Wildcard XI and take a look back on our own personal highs and lows of a topsy-turvy season.

After 128 minutes of that lot and sunstroke already setting in, we even forget to chat captains and transfers come the end, only to make amends later.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

    Cech,
    Alonso, Kompany, Yoshida,
    Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Pedro, King,
    Kane, Jesus

    Willy, Stephens, Holgate, Anichebe.

    1FT, is the obvious transfer Haz to Cout?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard has sunderland at home, if he starts then it is far from a obvious move

      1. jimmy.floyd
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Big if

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Wrong

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe Kompany to Matip

        • EP
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Who to sell for Coutinho?

          Erikson
          Hazard

          Other option is to sell Hazard and Anichebe for Sturridge and Carroll

        • Olee
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Leading ML with 7p after today I think. What to do with this bunch?

          Cech
          Bailly-Cedric-Mustafi
          Eriksen-Hazard-Sanchez-King-JWP
          Kane-Jesus

          Caballero-Yoshida-Anichebe-Holgate
          1FT, 1.3ITB

          Am i crazy if I do Haz+JWP->Coutinho+Siggy for -4?

        • the Penman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Kane registering 114 on the BPS score. Amazing.

        • XabiAlonso
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Can't believe I benched Kane this week

          1. Darklord_bg
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Seriously?

          2. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            That was very dim . You own Kane in a DGW AND bench him ?

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              I a dim t**t too . ☺☺

                You can leave out the word bench

                1. XabiAlonso
                  • 10 Years
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  Glad he said bechwanker

                  1. Here's Tom with the We…
                    • 14 Years
                    8 years, 6 months ago

                    Glitch in the system. All bench boost chips won't register, all bench points are lost

          3. lespaul
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Why not ?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

            and BB'ed I presume.

          5. nkhoughton
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Did you use bench boost

              • 9 Years

              of course he did!!

            And de bruyne

        • Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          ML's really coming into their own next week for all those in a tight spot.

          Harry Kane putting himself in the boss seat for (c) for anybody wanting OR but will he be any good for those chasing ML's. Intriguing stuff for those locking horns....

          ....and despite posts to the contrary tonight some of us do like to hear about ML battles to come. Keep posting.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Was tight between me and second place but he had Eriksen and I had Kane. Game over a week early, spoiled it a bit

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah. I've never had a final day nail biter. Maybe that should be my target next season.

        • JJO
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Have to ask 1 more time
          So Haz+Tadic+King to Coutinho+Son+Pedro/Fab for -4?

          1. Coaly
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Keep King, no hit

            1. JJO
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              And just bring Cou and Son?
              Just think Leicester will keep it low scoring this gw after this debacle

        • suddenorgan
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          anyone fancy Origi?

        • HD7
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Coutinho in for
          A)Hazard
          B)Ali

          Basically who is more of a rotation risk

          1. smitchlovesfunk
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I recon poch will rest alli like he did eriksen today

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Rest him for what?

                • 9 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                This is exactly my point he wants to supply Kane at every opportunity to win the golden boot, thats what i took from today!

          2. dunas_dog
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            No reason for a rest?

          3. Olee
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Haz imo

            1. HD7
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Also leaning toward Haz to Coutinho

          4. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Did Haz>Cout yesterday

            1. HD7
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              how doez it feel? 😀

        • Fred54
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Is worth scrambling back to Kane for GW38?

          Yes a rare non owner stands and posts alone.

          1. AYLD28
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I don't think so

            1. Fred54
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              LOL cue another 4 goals for Kane then...

          2. Darklord_bg
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Yes

          3. Rash
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Not alone but think we just go down with the ship and leave him now

          4. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Has to be favourite for GW38 top scorer

        • drughi
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Only 2 days rest for Kane before next kick off

          1. Karan_G14
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            The one who assists him has had a good rest, I'm sure he'll make it easier for him.

          2. Darklord_bg
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            He doesn't need rest. He scores when he wants to.

        • Optimus.
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          BOOM!

          87 points.... No hits!! 😎

          1. George Sillett

            This season can f off.

            That's rubbish this GW

              • 16 Years

              Can't you read???? No hits he said.
              Jeez.
              😉

            2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
              • 15 Years

              That's the joke

              • 14 Years

              Errr did you not read the no hits bit?

            • 10 Years

            TBH your actual score wasn't a million miles better off... 😉

          8 years, 6 months ago

          Scoutcast was 1 hour 28 minutes, it just felt like 128 minutes.

          1. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            They were on the "beach"

        • FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I thought Luke spoke brilliantly on the scoutcast about backing an overlooked captain and dreaming about winning the whole thing.

          Very apt that he captained Kane and Mark published this episode on the same night.

          Kane, Jesus

          Pick, Stephens, Zaha, Gabbi

          1.7 itb 1FT

          I am eyeing up a few players, who should I prioritise:

          1. Vardy
          2. Siggy
          3. Llorente
          4. Cout

          1. nkhoughton
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Coutiniho definitely

        • Girasoli
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          (C) Costa,

          Kane not. Need I say more?

            • 11 Years

            2pts doubled

        • andymck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Somehow closed a 90 point gap in my mini league this week and find myself in second. The lad in first is still 100 points ahead but only 6 points separate 2nd-4th, should be a fun final day!

          1. nkhoughton
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I was 50pts behind going into gw36 I am now leading 82pts going into 38

              • 10 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              No
              Kane and Eriksen only

        • ZakAFC_
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Hazard > Coutinho?

          1. dhamphiir
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Wait for press conference

        • weed
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Heading into the final GW with a top 0.5% OR and an amazing 43 point lead in ML.

          What can go wrong?

        • jimmy.floyd

        • Vinyl78LP
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Is Kane's 31 in a GW a record? If not who has scored more?

            1. Clintymints
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Had him captain that week

                Same, scored 159 that GW.

        • marquinhos
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Eriksen to Coutinho then?

          1. Legomane
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Why? Is he being sold?

            • 11 Years

            Maybe Alli to Courts here.

            1. marquinhos
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              got KDB, Sanchez, King & Pedro with 0.6 ITB 🙁

        • Legomane
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          187 with Holgate benched at half time, Anichebe injured and denied his 4 pointer, Alonso, Stephens and Eriksen all benched...and to top it off I went for Kompany instead of Azpilicueta...oh what could have been #shouldahad250 🙂 😎

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            I know this Captain Hindsight stuff is pointless but...having got into the WC with Kane and coming out with Costa has to be the most shoot yourself in the foot decision ever!

            1. Legomane
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Costa was always a danger of being rested

          • 10 Years

          Simply the best gameweek I ever had with 178points and managed to climbed up the 60 point difference against my ML rival! Ecstatic GW37

        • Coaly
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Kane out for 38 then

          2 days rest

        • HD7
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Hazard or Alli to be rotated in 38?
          Who makes way from them for Coutinho 🙂

          1. Je suis le chat
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Both maybe for Courts and Kdb.

            1. Olee
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Maybe both, yes, but I would wait for pressconference.

              Thinking og Haz+JWP->Siggy and Cout for -4 myself...thoughts?
