One more Gameweek. One more ScoutCast. The final whistle has almost blown on a remarkable season but we’re determined to fully exploit the final throws.

I’m joined by Jonty, Andy and Luke as we open a bumper 80-minute show with our dedication to Leicester City’s extraordinary title win. We then quickly shift to take on another raft of community questions as thoughts turn to Gameweek 37’s double fixtures.

We run the rule over the protagonists, assessing West Ham’s assets, Eden Hazard’s renaissance and even make an attempt to find a reason to make a late investment in Norwich City. Then necks are put on the block as we review the weekend fixtures, coming clean on our current double Gameweek transfer and captaincy plans.

The ScoutCast is first aired live on our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get a heads up on future broadcasts.

You can view the full Google Hangout version of this episode via the second player below or stream the edited audio from this link or the first player.

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

    Robles
    Smalling, PVA, Simpson (Bell, Gabriel
    KDB, Sanchez, Lanzini, Milner (Alli
    Kane, Kun, Martial

    1 FT, £0.4

    KDB, Alli, Kun/Kane ➡ Haz, Payet, Carrol?
    do it before price change or wait?

    other ideas?

    Would selling Gabriel be decent if it meant getting another Arsenal attacker next week vs Villa?

    1% tempted by mahrez since they can have the lols this week!

    Rival has Defoe/Kane/Sturry

    I would like Carroll in but can't decide who to drop from Aguero/Sturry/Kane

    Absolutely stumped who to get out. Brain says Kane. But not totally sold. I also have KdB so dropping Aguero might not be too bad. Sturry minutes might be crap too so he also can be dropped!

    These decisions will cost me the mini league :z and it's driving me crazy!

          Agree about West Ham's prospects over the last few weeks.
          Carroll currently with the TC for mine...

          I don't think you need the additional -4pts at this stage. Stick with the current lot

          Below is close enough. Firmino didn't really have an early mark so could be a sub too. Don't think the fans care too much now as there's only 1 goal now.
