There’s emotion in the air as we prepare to bid goodbye to another season in tonight’s ScoutCast.

I’m joined by Jonty, Andy and Luke as we take the opportunity to look back on our campaigns, dwelling on our successes and regrets and recalling our favourite moments from a most testing Fantasy Football season.

We also take time to identify out lessons learned and appraise the Fantasy Premier League season, carrying out a “Chips Post Mortem”, whilst discussing the likely impact of next season’s Friday night kick-offs.

Finally, for one last time this term, we look forward to the weekend and attempt to identify the final day heroes who could yet make an impression on ranks and mini-leagues.

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.

    Last rolls of the dice...

    1 Play two from
    Gabs
    Fuchs
    Cresswell
    Rose?

    2 Milner to
    Tadic or
    Mane?1

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years

      Gabriel, Crsswell, Mane

  3. Henryyy

    Gabs cresswll

  4. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So... Tadic or Mane ?

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mane more volatile. Good if you are chasing but riskier

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Leading ML by 30 points. Tadic the safer bet then?

    2. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Did a comparison. Tadic creates way more chances, hes the certainly the safe bet.

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Gone for Tadic, thanks! 🙂

    Got a couple of replies on the last page, but they were not really answers to the question:

    Got this front 8 with 6.6 in the bank:

    Payet, Firmino, Mahrez, Hazard, Sanchez

    Defoe, Martial, Carrrol

    A Martial to Aguero

    B Defoe to Giroud

    C Carrol to Giroud

    D Defoe to Giroud and Firmino to KDB (-4)

    E Other?

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years

      btw, thanks for those replies.

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        If you can afford, i would get kun, for martial

    2. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A looks best, and just bench firmino.
      D looks appealing but would just mean benching someone u would have started anyway.

    4. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys, very much. Anyone want to explain why Aguero is so key this GW? Is it just that he is good? Giroud has a great fixture . . .

      1. Fergietime
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Its Aguero at the end of the day, in hot form and fighting for 4th place. I am going without though as it would involve a hit and losing hazard 🙁 . Go with your gut, Giroud sounds good too and is something different.

      2. Cevap
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Giroud is a donkey and kun is not. But in all seriousness giroud not a bad selection with that matchup

    5. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No point in doing d unless you plan to bench Carroll or Defoe.but would not want any pool players this weekend

    6. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Again, thanks for the very helpful answers. I reckon Aguero is always a good bet, but I fear Giroud will get headed goals against Villa. I would also rather keep Martial. This will go down to the wire, but I am leaning to Aguero just because so many will have him.

  8. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Giroud(C) Madness ? Surely he'll do better than his donkey friend Caroll no ?

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good option imo.

      The Villa factor has worked virtually every week

    2. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      His chance creation stats and shots are actually surprisingly decent in the last 4, having him myself for big Andy.

  9. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Rashford nailed?

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Good chance of playing but not nailed.

    2. Cevap

      Nope

    According to Sky Italia, Mourinho to United will be announced within hours.

    hmmm..

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Strange timing if true.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Was talking to a friend about it..if they spin it as LVG retiring after FA Cup Final then everyone wins. He doesn't have to get sacked, Woodward doesn't have to sack him and new manager is sorted already to give 'good feelings' going into matchday 38 and final.

        But really you could write any narrative you'd like lol..

        1. Cevap

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I wouldn't be so sure. It seems no one, fans or players alike, believe in LVG. They might just push that little bit extra knowing he's gone after that match.

            1. Cevap
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Fair enough. Don't like him or United. But he definitely does nothing for the game

    2. Fergietime
      • 10 Years

      before the fa cup final, nonsense

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Either way the club are going to have to come out and say something soon i just think that will be after the cup final.. Although to be quite honest if i wake to find confirmation of Mourinho to United i will more than likely ejaculate

    Mahrez > Tadic (-4) is a very bad idea right?

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not very, but bad

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe Carroll > Long (-4)

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure Mahrez will play but yeah probably not smart

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That's what I'm thinking, I have a solid bench though if he doesn't

    3. Pea Soup

    Worth doing Carroll or Defoe to carry for -4?

    DDG

      It's not entirely clear what you're saying, but Firm and Studge to Aguero and Tadic for free are absolutely gold. The other suggestion is indecipherable.

        Hahaha sorry it's tough on this small ass iPhone. Plan on doing the first 2 transfers and looking if there any objections.....than is Carroll or Defoe to vardy worth a -4

          No, I wouldn't say so. I would have said Giroud is worth a hit but you are maxed out on Arsenal, so I would just do those two.

    Best combo

    A) Tadic* Payet, Hazard, Sanchez
    Giroud* Defoe Aguero

    OR

    B) Arnie*, Payet, Hazard, Sanchez
    Carrol, Long*, Aguero.

    Cant afford to sell Defoe for giroud which is annoying

    Rival is 40 points ahead and likely to captain Sanchez.

    Is Mane (c) the best rival option??

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Id get Giroud in and go for him. Or kun

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep imo .. Giroud or Tadic could go crazy too

    3. Cevap

      Go kun and hope for a 2 pointer

    4. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah gotta go something rogue and explosive

  20. DameCorp
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts on this?

    A) Firmino to Tadic/Long (-4)?
    B) Or just play Lanzini

    Trailing by 10 in ML.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on the rest of your team but good idea to have as many playing as possible

      1. DameCorp
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Will be able to get 11 playing players out 100%.

        More so weighing up if the -4 to bring Mane/Tadic in gives me a better chance to win than playing Lanzini

    3. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      And not sure how you are getting a striker for a mid

      1. DameCorp
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        They are all mids?

  21. FFPro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Should I start Lanzini/Reid over Defoe/PVA after Big Sam's comments?

  22. GS456
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    One thing ive noticed is that whatever the stats say, the player still needs to be good enough to score the shots and chances. Made the mistake with Andy Carrol (high shots, high big chances), do i make the same mistake with Giroud????

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This is a key question. Le Donc has what loks like easy pickins, while Kun has a challenging away match without Silva. Everything but talent says that Giroud is the pick, yet everyone says Aguero is the one. For this one GW, is it going to come down to talent?

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Well thankfully i have Aguero anyway but i wouldn't be backing Giroud to score more than 1, he loves a miss.

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Usually the stats will show if someones had a lucky run that wont be sustained. if theyre getting oodles of shots and touches int he box, get em in.

  23. Fergietime
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you bench out of this lot to bring tadic in or should I just leave well enough alone?

    Sanchez Payet Mahrez Hazard
    Carroll Kane Lukaku

  24. Snapes on a Plane
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who to get rid of ?
    Barkley or Lukaku?

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Both if poss. Tadic and Giroud??

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

        Tadic and Benteke 😉

    2. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If just one, Barkley.

  25. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley , Payet , Lanzini , Hazard , Firmino

    Defoe , Aguero , Lukaku

    I am dragging my heels over Barkley for some reason I am just reluctant to sell an explosive player before Norwich at home . Would yous sell ?
    A) Hazard > Sanchez
    B) Firmino and Barkley < Sanchez and Ayew/Arny - 4

    1. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez & Tadic?

      1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        And Tadic does look like a better option, but that's a gut call.

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B is definitely what I would do. Lose Barkley on principle alone.

    4. Suarezista

      If you want to keep Barkley how about: Firmino & Defoe -> Sanchez & Rashford ?

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

        I will consider it thank you

      get rid of Barkley hes anything but explosive. the last time he scored was GW 24 and hes had one assist since Dec.

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

    Chasing 6 points, current differentials:

    A) Hart, Payet, Lanzini, Carroll

    B) Mignolet, Tadic, Alli, Kane

    I'm thinking of taking out Lanzini/Carroll for Giroud & Mane (-4) and captaining Giroud?

    He'll transfer out Alli for another mid, someone budget maybe Lanzini tbh as he's made the transfer and can see his remaining balance.

    Big cash prize so appreciate all input and will do my best to answer yours!

    Hi all. This is how my 500 euro league looks with me in the lead by 17 points.
    1st 2154
    2nd 2137
    3rd 2139

    My team. 1ft
    Robles
    Bellerin, Pva,smalling
    Sanchez, payet, townsend, firmino
    Kun(c), Carroll, Sturridge.
    (darlow,Simpson, delaney, Iwobi.)

    What would you do to close this league out.

    Teams very similar, hazard, kane and utd keeper only differentials. No one has chips left (thank God)

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      500 euro as the prize or buy in?! thatd be quite the investement

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Price. Already wrapped up 250 in another league. This wk was tough. Rivals had TC'd payet and hazard but I stayed ahead with a 75 -8 but crap (c) choice (Carroll)

    2. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Carroll or Firmino out imo

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Prize!!! Sorry. *

    3. bantamdave
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Harsh on 3rd place being third. I mean more points than second.

      Messed up league!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4. Suarezista
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino & Studge out, and probably get at least one one of Hazard and Kane to block them if the ML is all you care about.

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Lol. Other way around.

    5. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sturridge/Firms > Kane/Mane

  28. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1FT 3.3m ITB

    Robles Darlow
    Gabriel Kosceilny Rojo Creswell PVA
    Firmino Coutinho Hazard Payet Loftus-Cheek
    Kun Defoe Rashford

    Coutinho --> Sanchez is my 1FT

    A) Firmino --> Tadic (-4)
    B) No hit and be happy with PVA or Cresswell coming off the bench

    Thoughts?

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it. Tadic's worth a shot

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Done. Sanchez captain and have PVA and Cresswell as back up in case Defoe or anyone else is rested.

        Cheers

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would usually go with B in this situation, but I suspect Loftus-Cheek is a blank as well, so perhaps A is called for.

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ya I just did the dbl transfer for the hit in case other players don't play. Not much to play for anyway so why not take a gamble.

        All the best bud

  29. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mignolet,
    Bellerin, PVA, Reid
    Cout, Fabs, Payet, Sanchez
    Aguero, Defoe, Carroll
    Robles, Rojo, Simpson, Willian*

    3.7m in account, 1ft
    Would u do just the 1 move or move for a hit.. (concerns over game time for Willian/Cout)

    These are some of the potential options as I see it.
    What would u choose..

    1.Carroll- Giroud
    2.Carroll- Kane
    3. Willian- KDB
    4. Willian- Mane/Tadic

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1 🙂

    2. Merteswagger
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Think Cout/Willian/Defoe all gametime risks, potentially address two of them for a hit

      1. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah.. but that's what subs are for..
        Not sure I want to take a hit.
        It would make more sense if there were more games later.

        Hard to tell how each team will line up in fairness
        Giroud is being talked up a bit but he could be benched for Wally too.

        Russian roulette..

        Tempted to just go with Willian- KDB and just be done with it.

        Although Carroll is just sitting there with a big smile on him after doing FA with the armband and maybe deserves punishment.
        He could turn around and grab a goal or two just as well tho.

        So you are keen on Kane without Dembele or Alli? I am not challenging, just asking. I have been staying away from Kane because it looks like his supply-line might have dried up. I am interested in your thoughts.

          1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            This might surpise you, but I always look at your tables, and have done already. I gather that you are saying that Lamela has picked up the slack. I can't decide whether that means anything. There is not a lot of history supporting the idea that Lamela stepping up replaces what made Harry so effective. Lately (I know it's a small sample size) he has not done well without his old mates. But I rate your opinion, so I will be thinking hard on this one.

    What are people thoughts about Arsenal/Southampton combinations:

    Would you go:

    a) Giroud and Tadic/Mane
    OR
    b) Alexis and Long

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years

      Very much B because of Sanchez.
