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.

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

    1 to play out of the following 3

    1) Evra ( would look to prove and earn himself a new contract, but has Sou away and Sou can easily scorebig)
    2) Martin Olsson ( Last game in pl in front of homecrowd and Norwich would look to bow out strongly)
    3) Koscielny ( Arsenal have been best in defence, but have nothing to play for)

    Also guys play Mannone or Scezsny as GK?

    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.

      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...

      Samuel Eto'o suffered an injury in training on 9 May and is a doubt for the game away to Cardiff on 11 May.

      John Terry suffered a small injury in training on 8 May and is a doubt for the game away to Cardiff on 11 May.

          Possibly. Maybe they both start. Maybe only one. I think Ba will probably start the game and Torres will come on for 19 mins.

      If you were a PL manager, which players would you be trying to snap up from the relegated sides (Norwich, Fulham, Cardiff) for next season?

      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.

        Would have thought someone would fancy all of them 3. Also:

        Sascha Reither, but I'd guess he'll be off back to Germany.
        Gary Medel, but also back to Europe I'd say.

        Would also be tempted to punt on Kasami, Kacaniklic.

      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.
