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.

    Play 2:
    1) Monreal
    2) Holding
    3) Yoshida
    4) Stephens

    1. Here's Tom with the We…

      1 and 3

      1,4

  2. matiakez

    It's not worth transferring out DDG is it? Just plsy pickford?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Am in the same position. I'm having to start Jakupovic instead 😀

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Play DDG

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You think by some miracle, he plays, EF?

      2. matiakez
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I probably will start him if I keep but expect pickford to come in.

  3. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The 7 points difference between Davies-Tottenham defender and the 5 points difference between Fabregas-Pedro were also a great thing in this gw.

  4. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My rival is 6 points ahead of me, which transfer would you make?

    A) Eriksen --> Coutinho

    B) Costa --> Sturridge

    C) both -4

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

      Neither

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't know who your rival has.

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He has Eriksen but not Costa

    3. The Hobbit
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just A

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

      b

    5. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Transfering eriksen out is risky. Even think he will outscore Coutinho

      So just B

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If rival have eriksen it's another story though

    6. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A.

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

    Likely to be in the top 1500 tonight but Not quite sure what to do with this lot...

    Not sure I fancy getting rid of hazard without firm suspicion he not playing......

    Any advice?...0.3 cash

    Willy (pickford)
    Alonso monreal Stephens (verthongen holding)
    Sanchez hazard alli sane king
    Kane (c) Jesus (anichebe)

    Maybe verthongen to Matip?

    Thanks

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

      Hazard out

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

      alli>coutinho maybe

    3. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sell Hazard and play Vertonghen over Monreal imho.

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

        Cheers boys...

    4. krehbieh1
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haz > Cout. Haz played 90 min against Watford. Despite two periods of 6 days off between wat and then FA cup, can't see him going full 90 Sunday...but with Conte anything could happen.

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    FT headache continues...

    A) Mawson in for Huth as bench padding
    B) Lovren in for Huth as bench padding
    C) Fabregas in for Alli
    D) Fabregas in for Eriksen

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

      B and play him?

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

    Lovely, I finally get to use my bench boost for gw 38! Shame half my team will be rested.

  8. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane TC himself ain't it?

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

    82pts ahead of 2nd place going into the final week

    Not bad

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

    Better option out of these?

    A) Hazard ➡ Kdb

    B) Hazard & Gabbi ➡ Fabregas & Vardy (-4)

    ML Rival is 22points behind me.
    He owns Kdb & Gabbi.
    Should I just play safe and block Kdb?

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      b

    2. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think blocking him makes sense but I like vardy. Depends on your whole team and his

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

    Alonso, Holgate, Stephens, Eriksen, Gabbi... what could have been? 😮 Still this was an amazing week to watch.

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

      indeed, and add Monreal to that list. I even think Sane underperformed concidering the chances he produced. Could have been 250´s - but who´s complaining:)

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

        Can I add Vert and Pedro to that list?

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hoping Anichebe is fully ruled out for one final week of bench w*nkery!

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

    Wakey

    You are four hits behind me, would reignite your ML too 😉

  14. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE

    Clyne 15 pointer this GW. Remember this 😀

  15. KISSES

    My FPL season is over. Already buzzing gor next year.

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

    After Kane's haul tonight, how is the top two in the world looking?

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

      2nd and 3rd

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

    Caballero Pickford
    Alonso Holding Davies Stephens Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Sane King
    Kane Jesus Anichebe

    Hazard > Coutinho the obvious move? No room at the inn for Sturridge or KdB really.

    1. Marcus Aurelius
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This is pretty much my team. Hazard > Coutinho is almost certainly going to be my only transfer.

  18. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Will be Finishing 2nd for 4th consecutive seasons in ML .

    The closest i have lost is by 1 point .

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

    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)....

  20. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What transfer would you make, I'm 6 points behind my rival..

    His team: Pickford, Jaku, Blind, Alonso, Davies, Fernandez, Robertson, De Roon, Yacob, Eriksen, Sanchez, King, Jesus and Lukaku

    My team: Caballero, Yoshida, Monreal, Alonso, Vertonghen, Holgate, King, JWP, Sanchez, Eriksen, Kane, Costa, Sane, Anichebe

    Only have 1FT and 0.3, Any advise?

    1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      JWP upgrade 3-5-2

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

        Who's his 3rd striker?

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

      sane to son

      for free not for a -4 hit.

      logic behind this is that when both kun and Jesus play, then sane's output is minimised

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Love the idea but is Son nailed next game?

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

          After that performance, surely.

  21. JackBetherz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    33 points behind mini league leader, what do I go for?:
    A) Siggy, Kane, Fabregas (He has Kane and Siggy) (-8 points)
    B) KDB, Sturridge, Fabregas an extra -4 (12 points)

  22. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard to Cout and Anichebe to Llorente for free?

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

      yes

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

    When will auto subs be made and or updated?

  24. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What do I do for the weekend with this?

    Caballero (pickford)
    Alonso-Holding-Stephens (gabriel,holgate)
    Sanchez-Hazard-King-Alli (JWP)
    Kane-Jesus-Gabbi

    1.7ITB 1ft, 1 point lead in ML

    1. krehbieh1
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You considering Haz > Cout or KDB?

      1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        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

        1. krehbieh1
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That does make it interesting...I like gabbi > Llorente in that case

  25. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez, Kane,jesus did it this week
    Will hazard do it in gw38?

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

      Will he even play?

  26. Mavric Marco
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve seen a few people asking if Kane’s 31 gameweek points are a record.

    Rooney got 32 points way back in the 2009/10 season…and he’s the proof from my very own team:

      Wow horrible FPL interface

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years

        I know 😆

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        Yet every time they change it people moan...

    2. dogtanion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What about single match score though? Arshavin's 25 ?

  27. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Team is:
    Heaton
    Cahill Stephens Yoshi
    San(C)hez Alli Eriksen Coutinho Sane
    Jesus Kane

    Courtois Huth Negredo Holgate

    FT headache continues... which is the best option?

    A) Mawson in for Huth as bench padding
    B) Lovren in for Huth as bench padding
    C) Fabregas in for Alli
    D) Fabregas in for Eriksen

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

    Only 4.8% of (live) teams have Kane, Jesus and Sanchez. I thought it would be way higher than that.

  29. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Has the OR updated?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years

      Not yet

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      your score, but not your or overall ranks

  30. Darklord_bg

    There will never be another game week like this one 🙁
