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.

    Just saw the Spurs result. Holy, this game is just crazy at the moment. Best ever rank of 3.8K, chuffed.

    31 points behind top 50k with TC chip still to use is it still realistic, I know normally it would be very difficult but with TC do i have a slight chance?

      Yeah for sure. I'd assume you'd have to get your TC bang on though.

    Thoughts? 1FT. 1.4 in the bank.
    Lack of Coutinho and Gabbiadini my main concerns.

    Caballero
    Monreal - Alonso - Holding
    Redmond - Pedro - Sanchez - Sane
    Gabbiadini - Jesus - Kane

    Pickford - Vertonghen - Stephens - Albrighton

    What the dullard in me says:

    Alli 》Cout.

    What the maverick says:

    Alli, Kompany, Jesus 》Cout, Ake Kane -8

    Front 7 would be
    Silva, Cesc, Sanchez, Cout, Eriksen
    Kane Costa.

    Caballero
    Alonso - Monreal - Stephens
    Sanchez - Alli - Hazard - Sane - King
    Kane - Jesus

    Pickford - Davies - Yoshida - Anichebe

    With nothing in the bank I dont know if theres a move I want to make.

      - Form: Coutinho 6 goals 2 assists in last 8
      - Fixture: Boro
      - Motivation: Fighting for top 4
      - At Home

      Coutinho really ticks all the boxes . Meanwhile Hazard Off form and with epl wrapped up likely to be rested for cup final
