The final ScoutCast of the season found Granville and I take on the might of Hall of Fame legend, Evs, top 300 ranked Applebonkers and our very own high flyer – Jonty. We certainly know how to make ourselves feel inadequate.

In a mix of retrospective naval gazing and forward thinking speculation, my co-host and I tackle the usual ScoutCast regulars, before we’re joined by our guests to take on another raft of community questions. We talk Gameweek 38 punts, the deadball divas that are Steven Gerrard and Yaya Toure and consider the lessons learned from the past nine months.

You can listen in on the edited Podcast version of the show via this link or the player immediately below, or get the warts and all Hangout version – complete with childminding and Jason Puncheon toilet breaks – via the player below.

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

    After taking a punt on Kevin Nolan for GW38 last season and him scoring a hat trick, I'd love to try and do the same this year.

    Morning folks. Need some help here - 800 quid at stake and I can't think straight so sorry for the long post 😀

    I am 8 behind ML leader in 3rd - all rivals have Sterling and I think two will bring in Sturridge. My team is below.

    Mannone/Kelvin Davis
    Evra, Cahill, Baines
    Eriksen, Nasri, Mata, Yaya Touré
    Agüero, Borini, Suárez

    (Ramsey, Dann, Chester)

    Only got 0.7 it's so cannot afford Borini to Sturridge so

    A) Ramsey to Sterling or Mata to Gerard

    Or

    B) Mata to Sterling AND Borini to Sturridge.

    Cheers

          Your midfield is identical to mine, and I also have Aguero. My worry would be Ramsey and Aguero getting game time. I doubt both of them will get 90 minutes, if they even play. You want players that will definitely play. Aguero has his eye on the World Cup and Ramsey has the FA Cup. It doesn't look good for those two, in my opinion.

      It looks like 'Captain score as a % of total possible' is the key indicator.
      Is anybody above 60% and not in the top 5k?
      And, is anybody who is in the top 5k lower than 60%?

      Garg/Jonty, just spotted an error with the 3 most owned players stat. Not sure if it can be fixed but if 2 players have the same name they will be counted as 1 by the Gargatron. For example it says I've owned Turner for 26 weeks when I haven't owned either Turner since GW22 (I had a Turner every weeek from GW1-22 and there was a 4 week period where I had both).

        Oh crap, I thought this might happen and only looked at a few players named Taylor yesterday and they all had their first name etc written on FPL so I never bothered doing anything about it.

      Hi everybody.

      Sorry to inform you that there is a bug where players named Turner are counted as one. For all (I think) other players with the same surname they also wrote out the first name so it won't be a problem in those cases.

    Currently 2 points behind first in my mini league, it has been ridiculously close all season and first place gets a tasty cash prize.

    My team:

    Szczesny
    cahill - dawson - koscielny - zabaleta
    barkley - eriksen - nasri
    sturridge - aguero - suarez (c)

    bench: manonne - ramsey - shaw - bacuna

    0 FT and 2.2m ITB

    he has got yaya and i'm worried he will make the difference, should i bring him in for nasri and a -4 hit to try and play it safe?

    other than that, good to go? i don't think ramsey will start this weekend.

Not that I'm planning on owning any of those options but I might just keep Rambo, Arsenal could tear through them if they go on the attack...

    There's a few young English gems there in my opinion:

    Jordan Mutch
    Steven Caulker
    Nathan Redmond

    Martin Olsson also a very good player...nobody from Fulham takes my fancy.

      I think both will start but Ramsey will get limited minutes and saved for the cup final. He'll be replaced by Wilshere.

    why do people keep saying that there's less goals when there's less to play for?

    is it based on any stats or just assumption?

    I've always had the impression its when there's something to play that it becomes more cagey

    in fact i remember last season wba & utd had nothing to play for on the l;st day & it finished 5-5

    i'm not convinced that should be a reason to not pick a player tho i can understand if youre worried that the player youre thinking of might not play.

          I've seen a lot of comments saying the opposite, like Palace are playing whipping boys Fulham so will do well, particularly Puncheon.

          I disagree. They have nothing to play for so players like Puncheon, who is off form, may well get rested and those that don't may unconciously relax and be off their game. I don't think you can trust Palace or Arsenal or any other team with little to play for to behave in a predictable way.
