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.

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

  1. CunkOnFPL

    10 years, 3 days ago

    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?

    Thanks in advance

    1. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Do it.

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Go for sure.

  2. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Kane or Martial out for Carroll?

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      I'd boot Kane from those two.

    2. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Kane.

    3. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Martial

  3. noquarternt
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Surely with Hazard's form, he's the man to TC over Payet?

  4. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    I'll be playing one single game midfielder this week, should I pick Mahrez or Sanchez?

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      If City were still in CL I''d say Sanchez. But Mahrez for me.

    2. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Mahrez, Leicester should be having a field day (hopefully!)

  5. zizoo10

    10 years, 3 days ago

    Thoughts on this -4 team? (Rose/Alli > Smalling/Khazri) Bit different..

    ……....……Robles
    ..Smalling – Clyne – Cresswell
    Payet – Lanzini – Khazri – Sanchez
    ...…..Kun – Martial – Kane

    Darlow – Ozil – Simpson – Gabriel

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      I like it

  6. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Who scores more?

    PvA (CHE, EVE)
    Sanchez (mci) + 4

    1. Mickey Tyrion™
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      A wash imo. Would therefore keep Alexis since you will definitely want him in 38

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        I'd bench Alexis (and play 4-3-3) not sell.

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Sanchez

  7. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Ideas on this lot?

    Robles Darlow
    Lovren Bellerín van Aanholt Gabriel Delaney
    Payet Sánchez De Bruyne Fàbregas King
    Kane Defoe Agüero

    1 FT, £1.1m in the bank.

    Looking at -8 to get rid of a def, mid and fwd.
    Would selling Gabriel be decent if it meant getting another Arsenal attacker next week vs Villa?

    Cheers.

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      I'd move Gabriel De Bruyne and Kane from those, could get in Ozil next week.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Cheers. Could sell Delaney but Gabriel blocks a bit. See how the pressers go tomorrow.

    2. Suarezista
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Cresswell, Hazard, and Carroll in for Gab, KDB, and Kane if affordable.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        This

        1. Schwarzer
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          +1

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        3.0 left over.

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Gab Kane→ Cress + Carroll .. and may be A.valencia/DDG if you want a manu Def/Gk

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Might pass on the MU defence being away. They hurt in 34 though 🙁

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Cheers all. 🙂

  8. Gr3g
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    So what do you guys think about getting rid of Kun and Kane for Deeney and Sturridge?
    Will Sturridge play after playing 90 mins last night? And shoudl I keep Firminio as he has played full game as well
    Cheers!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Pool players might only play vs Chelsea for the rest of season. Could play reserves in other 2.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Don't buy sturridge imo Carroll/Defoe are better imo .. also keep firmino

    3. Suarezista
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Even if Sturridge start this weekend (not likely imo), he is pretty sure missing GW38, not worth buying at this stage imo. I have him and considering selling.

  9. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    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!

  10. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Thoughts on my team?

    Mignolet
    Cresswell, Smalling, Fuchs
    Payet, Sanchez, Pedro, Townsend
    Aguero, Martial, Carroll

    Rolbes, Rose, Bellerin, Alli*

    Already have taken a -4, any thing here worth a hit? 0.1 ITB

    Cheers 😀

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Fuchs→ pva probably

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Cheers 😀

        Don't fancy Leicester for another CS against Everton?

        1. FudgyBadger
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          i do

    2. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Looking solid, Puyol!
      What were your transfers?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Sahko + Welbeck -----> Cresswell + Carroll (-4)

        I have a good feeling about West Ham over the next 2 😀
        Payet TC as well

        1. Najoman86
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          Nice! I'm chasing a 30pt deficit in my ML - leader has Payet, so punting on him not doing too well...probably a bad idea ha!

          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

  11. John Smith
    • 13 Years

    Is hazard gonna rise tonight or can I wait another day?

    Thanks

    1. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      FPL stats has him rising today.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Find out in 30, waiting myself for any transfers.

    3. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Maybe today

      They're a little off by 10% or so maybe. Players who look to rise take a day or two more once over the treshold

  12. Schwarzer
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Last question! Who would you bring in for Coutinho (-4)?

    A) Hazard (sun liv)
    B) Willian/Fab (sun liv)
    C) Townsend (avl)
    D) Save

    Cheers

    1. Snapes on a Plane
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Fab

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      A

  13. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    How many minutes will the following players get over the double?

    (A) Firmino
    (B) Coutinho
    (C) Sturridge

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      The real question is how many they get vs Watford. Strong team vs Chelsea likely as their last hit out before EL final.

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        What do think? I'm thinking at most one starts vs Watford.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          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.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      120
      90
      90

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Yep, as TM says the Chelski game is the one to play the strongest XI, it's midway, last home game, allows recovery/protection etc.

  14. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    alright so if this is my team.. 1 FT and 0.4m itb

    DDG - Darlow
    Bellerin - Reid - PvA - Gabriel - Rose
    Fabregas - Payet - Sanchez - KDB - Lanzini
    Kane - Aguero - Defoe

    and I want Haz and Carroll..is it worth a -8 to try and get them? I could do it for a -4 with Lanzini and Aguero and choose someone to bench or a -8 with Kane, Lanzini and KDB

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Kun and lanzini bench sanchez

    2. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      I really like the Carroll/Hazard in's. Worthy of a punt if you're chasing...

  15. Najoman86
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Money no issue - best DEF to bring in for the upcoming GW - replacing Gabriel. I currently have: Cresswell, Bellerin, Rose, Simpson (Gabriel)

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      P v a

    2. Big Col
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Pva

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      It's boring but it's PvA, then Valencia or Smalling.

    4. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Thanks all! I guess it has to be PVA!

  16. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Martial

    Or

    Defoe (-4)

  17. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Which is best?

    A) Kane, Alli, Lanzini to Carroll, Hazard, Redmond -8
    B) Kane, Alli to Martial, Hazard -4
    C) Aguero, Alli, Lanzini to Carroll, Hazard, Fabregas -8

    All ready have 3 WH hence needing to selling Lanzini to get Carroll

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      A, keep Kun if you can, yeah A I think, Carroll & Hazard and a punt on Redmond.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      B or c(not sure about fabregas/haz double up with those fixtures)

    3. Suarezista
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      B for me

    4. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      B

  18. Suarezista
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    What would you do here, bench boosting, 5.6 itb,1FT

    Gomes, Mannone
    Smalling, PVA, Cresswell, Olsson, Lovren
    Firmino, Payet, Hazard, Lanzini, Sanchez
    Sturridge, Deeney, Defoe

    A) Sturridge -> Martial/Rashford for free
    B) Sturridge & Lanzini -> Carroll & (Barkley?) (-4)
    C) Save

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      B with townsend over barks

      1. Suarezista
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Thought about it, just doesn't seem right to take a hit selling a DGWer for a SGWer.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          Sgwer* to sgwer .. studge may play only one game for our next three

          1. Suarezista
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            You don't think he can even make the bench vs Watford ? He is doing well off the bench lately. By GW38 he will be gone surely.

  19. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Rp
    Any of those worth another hit

    A. luk/kane→Defoe
    B. Firm/Mahrez→haz
    C. Both and go crazy

    1. Suarezista
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      A is tricky, wouldn't do B personally if that helps.

  20. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Which move?

    (A) Gabriel to PvA (play Sanchez)
    (C) Gabriel and Coutinho to Kirchoff and Fabregas (-4) (bench Sanchez)
    (C) Kane to Costa

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      B with ha ard if no funds so a

  21. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Thoughts guys?

    Robles - Darlow
    PVA - Bellerin - Cresswell - Delaney - Simpson
    Milner - Payet - Lanzini - Sanchez - Iwobi
    Kun - Kane - Sturridge

    A) Bellerin, Milner, Kane > Smalling, Hazard, Defoe (-8)

    B) Lanzini, Kane, Sturridge > Hazard, Defoe, Carroll (-8)

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      I like B, no point dumping Bellerin with AVL waiting.

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Yeah that's true but would probably look to bring in Gabriel if Mert is still out for that game and upgrade a mid.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      B as I love carroll 🙂 + you'll need bellerin gw38

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Alright thanks 🙂

    3. Najoman86
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      B

    4. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Which defender to play if I go with B then? Bellerin? Or is it worth another -4 to do Delaney > Smalling ?

  22. marquinhos
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Delaney to Baines/Martin? OR Mahrez to Hazard/Fab?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Olsson over both btw... hazard is good shout but mahrez wants to celebrate so not sure

      1. marquinhos
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Olsson? :S

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          Norwich LB !!

  23. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    A. Alli, Kun and Sturridge > Hazzard, Defoe and Carroll (-8)

    B. Alli and Kun > Hazzard and Carroll (-4)

    C Alli and Kane > Hazzard and Defoe (-4)

    D. Alli > Townsend (free)

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      C

    2. Suarezista
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Are you so keen on Hazard ?
      How about Alli & Kane -> Carroll & a mid (how much left & who do you have ?)

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 days ago

        Not keen at all! It's him or Townsend in I think

        Rival has Kane Studge Defoe so I'll match the Studge/Kane and sell Aguero, since I also have KdB, and chance Carroll over his defoe.

        Hazzy in is a dbl punt really.

        Here's the team - http://i.imgur.com/8Og7u8a.png

        1. Suarezista
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 days ago

          Not many DGWers in your team, I would go for Hazard because of that. Option A for me.

          1. Clintymints
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 3 days ago

            Thanks.

            I got Carroll and Hazzard for Aguero and Alli

            I'll ponder over Defoe for another day!

            Here she is now. ..Looking a bit better.

    So begins again the stream of unanswerable questions. Hoping for someone with a direct line to the future.

  25. Moschops
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Is it likely that Lovren will be rested for one of the DGW fixtures? If so, is it still worth playing him over Fuchs?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Maybe WAT, so erm... thing is, it's natural to think Leicester will hammer Everton 5-0 with everyone doing well. In reality what tends to happen is the game doesn't matter and it becomes an anti-climax as the party begins.

  26. Pellegrini Falcon
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Ddg
    Cresswell PvA Simpson
    Hazard Alexis Mahrez Payet
    Kun Defoe Sturridge

    Robles King Bellerin Gabriel
    Already took a -8, should I take one more hit to do Sturridge to Carroll?

  27. niloh1
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 days ago

    Should I sell Kane or Sturridge for Carroll?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Probably studge

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 days ago

      Sturridge

  28. JasonG123
