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.

    Cech,
    Alonso, Kompany, Yoshida,
    Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Pedro, King,
    Kane, Jesus

    Willy, Stephens, Holgate, Anichebe.

    1FT, is the obvious transfer Haz to Cout?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard has sunderland at home, if he starts then it is far from a obvious move

      1. jimmy.floyd
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Big if

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Wrong

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Kompany to Matip

        • EP
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Who to sell for Coutinho?

          Erikson
          Hazard

          Other option is to sell Hazard and Anichebe for Sturridge and Carroll

        • Olee
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Leading ML with 7p after today I think. What to do with this bunch?

          Cech
          Bailly-Cedric-Mustafi
          Eriksen-Hazard-Sanchez-King-JWP
          Kane-Jesus

          Caballero-Yoshida-Anichebe-Holgate
          1FT, 1.3ITB

          Am i crazy if I do Haz+JWP->Coutinho+Siggy for -4?

        • the Penman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Kane registering 114 on the BPS score. Amazing.

        • XabiAlonso
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Can't believe I benched Kane this week

          1. Darklord_bg
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Seriously?

          2. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            That was very dim . You own Kane in a DGW AND bench him ?

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I a dim t**t too . ☺☺

                You can leave out the word bench

                1. XabiAlonso
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Glad he said bechwanker

                  1. Here's Tom with the We…
                    • 14 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    Glitch in the system. All bench boost chips won't register, all bench points are lost

          3. lespaul
            • 16 Years

            Why not ?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            and BB'ed I presume.

          5. nkhoughton
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Did you use bench boost

              • 9 Years

              of course he did!!

            And de bruyne

        • Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          ML's really coming into their own next week for all those in a tight spot.

          Harry Kane putting himself in the boss seat for (c) for anybody wanting OR but will he be any good for those chasing ML's. Intriguing stuff for those locking horns....

          ....and despite posts to the contrary tonight some of us do like to hear about ML battles to come. Keep posting.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Was tight between me and second place but he had Eriksen and I had Kane. Game over a week early, spoiled it a bit

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah. I've never had a final day nail biter. Maybe that should be my target next season.

        • JJO
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Have to ask 1 more time
          So Haz+Tadic+King to Coutinho+Son+Pedro/Fab for -4?

          1. Coaly
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Keep King, no hit

            1. JJO
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              And just bring Cou and Son?
              Just think Leicester will keep it low scoring this gw after this debacle

        • suddenorgan

        • HD7
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Coutinho in for
          A)Hazard
          B)Ali

          Basically who is more of a rotation risk

          1. smitchlovesfunk
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I recon poch will rest alli like he did eriksen today

            1. Dr Dream
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Rest him for what?

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                This is exactly my point he wants to supply Kane at every opportunity to win the golden boot, thats what i took from today!

          2. dunas_dog
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            No reason for a rest?

          3. Olee
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Haz imo

            1. HD7
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Also leaning toward Haz to Coutinho

          4. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Did Haz>Cout yesterday

            1. HD7
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              how doez it feel? 😀

        • Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Is worth scrambling back to Kane for GW38?

          Yes a rare non owner stands and posts alone.

          1. AYLD28
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I don't think so

            1. Fred54
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              LOL cue another 4 goals for Kane then...

          2. Darklord_bg
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yes

          3. Rash
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Not alone but think we just go down with the ship and leave him now

          4. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Has to be favourite for GW38 top scorer

        • drughi
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Only 2 days rest for Kane before next kick off

          1. Karan_G14
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            The one who assists him has had a good rest, I'm sure he'll make it easier for him.

          2. Darklord_bg
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He doesn't need rest. He scores when he wants to.

        • Optimus.
          • 15 Years

          BOOM!

              Can't you read???? No hits he said.
              Jeez.
              😉

              Errr did you not read the no hits bit?

            • 11 Years

            TBH your actual score wasn't a million miles better off... 😉

          Scoutcast was 1 hour 28 minutes, it just felt like 128 minutes.

        • FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I thought Luke spoke brilliantly on the scoutcast about backing an overlooked captain and dreaming about winning the whole thing.

          Very apt that he captained Kane and Mark published this episode on the same night.

          1.7 itb 1FT

          I am eyeing up a few players, who should I prioritise:

          1. Vardy
          2. Siggy
          3. Llorente
          4. Cout

            Coutiniho definitely

        • Girasoli
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          (C) Costa,

          Kane not. Need I say more?

          Somehow closed a 90 point gap in my mini league this week and find myself in second. The lad in first is still 100 points ahead but only 6 points separate 2nd-4th, should be a fun final day!

            • 11 Years

            I was 50pts behind going into gw36 I am now leading 82pts going into 38

              No
              Kane and Eriksen only

        • ZakAFC_
          • 12 Years

          Hazard > Coutinho?

            Wait for press conference

          Heading into the final GW with a top 0.5% OR and an amazing 43 point lead in ML.

          What can go wrong?

          Is Kane's 31 in a GW a record? If not who has scored more?

        • marquinhos

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Why? Is he being sold?

            Maybe Alli to Courts here.

              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              got KDB, Sanchez, King & Pedro with 0.6 ITB 🙁

        • Legomane
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          187 with Holgate benched at half time, Anichebe injured and denied his 4 pointer, Alonso, Stephens and Eriksen all benched...and to top it off I went for Kompany instead of Azpilicueta...oh what could have been #shouldahad250 🙂 😎

            I know this Captain Hindsight stuff is pointless but...having got into the WC with Kane and coming out with Costa has to be the most shoot yourself in the foot decision ever!

              • 10 Years

              Costa was always a danger of being rested

          Simply the best gameweek I ever had with 178points and managed to climbed up the 60 point difference against my ML rival! Ecstatic GW37

        • Coaly
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Kane out for 38 then

          Hazard or Alli to be rotated in 38?
          Who makes way from them for Coutinho 🙂

          1. Je suis le chat
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Both maybe for Courts and Kdb.

            1. Olee
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Maybe both, yes, but I would wait for pressconference.

              Thinking og Haz+JWP->Siggy and Cout for -4 myself...thoughts?
