The ScoutCast – Episode 226 – Beached

3,946 Comments

Excess baggage checked in, deckchairs reserved and sun block applied – the Scoutcast team are all ready to hit the beach.

Smack in the middle of Gameweek 37, with points flowing from all angles, not even Hal Robson Kanu’s late goal can upset the pre-vacation mood.

Stringing five men across the midfield, Luke and Az join Jonty, Andy and myself for a bumper end of season episode as we tackle another volley of questions from you, the community.

We conduct a post-mortem on the flurry of chips, weigh up the Gameweek 38 punts, put together our final day Wildcard XI and take a look back on our own personal highs and lows of a topsy-turvy season.

After 128 minutes of that lot and sunstroke already setting in, we even forget to chat captains and transfers come the end, only to make amends later.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

    Gonna dare to suggest a daily hot topic for Jonty. Third placed overall captained Kane so I make the GW38 finale is going to be a two horse race now.

    Could I suggest a "what would you do" topic for either/both players.

    I for one would be intrigued at the replies (apart from Optimus who would obviously do a -20...again)....

        So here's my dilemma he has Hazard and also has injury issues with walker, koscielny, firming and rashford playing time. so I don't think he will transfer hazard. He only has one free, so I might just make a simple change even though originally i was thinking hazard and jwp to coutinho and son/sane/fabregas. maybe will end up upgrading defender or gabbi to llorente
