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.

        Differentials are differentials for a reason.

    • Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wtf. Came home from work hoping for a decent haul but 194 all out is my best score ever by miles. 285pts in 2gw's. Made up for an average season overall. Hipe everyone else has been lucky.

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

        Nice one, Shaktar! Not having Kane bit me really hard.

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

      I guess there's a lot of people buzzing after tonight! Anyone free to give some advice on what transfer they'd make in my situation?

      15 points to make up. Players in uppercase are unique to my team.

      jaku - DDG
      DAVIES - KOMPANY - ALONSO - BAINES - HOLDING
      ERIKSEN - KING - hazard - sanchez - sane
      jesus - COSTA - gabbi

      0.0 ITB

      I think he's likely to bring in Coutinho and captain Kane.

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

        Costa hazard to Kane couthino/wijnaldum

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

          How will that help me catch him?? He'll have Kane too.

          Surely, I should be going Costa(c) and hoping Kane blanks, if anything (no matter how unlikely that is after tonight). I'd even understand someone advising me to play Jaku against Spurs.

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

            They will score more points, you gotta hope ur other players come through it's only 15 points go different on the captain

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

              If I get Kane in, it will be for a hit. My ML rival is very likely to captain him, so I'll be hoping he doesn't do anything. Therefore it doesn't make any sense to get him in to begin with. I have to go against obvious logic and rely on a bit of luck - perhaps Eriksen shares the points with Kane, for example?

              Appreciate you taking the time to respond. I just think I have to go another route.

              1. FFSbet.com
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Costa(C) ?

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

                  Yeah, I think so mate. Will wait for the press conferences and hope I get a bit lucky with info.

          2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Shame u can't get aguero the only super punt left capable of rivalling Kane imo

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

              Yeah, not without a hit. I could get Sturridge with a -4, but Boro don't exactly roll over.

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

        I would go hazard to coutinho and captn costa if you think he will start

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

          Yep, I'll definitely need to captain someone he doesn't have. Eriksen would appeal if I knew why he missed tonight. Or one of the Liverpool or Chelsea lads.

          1. 8ball
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If you are not worried about anyone below you catching up, I would captain Costa and get in Coutinho if he does not. You should be able to tell who he brings in if he just uses 1ft

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

              Thanks 8Ball, I'll make a note of his TV now, and see if I can work out who he gets!

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

        Thanks all for your input - appreciate it.

    • HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only Alonso (£6.9m and 25) has registered more penalty-area shots than Matip (24) among FPL defenders over the season.

      Best differential for gw38 against boro ?

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

        Luke (disable) like's him, so why not. If you trust the Liverpool defence!

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

        Yes, definitely a good shout. Was playing high up the pitch vs Wham- but We seem to find a way to concede. Id wait for the presser. I like the chances of cs if firmino is playing.

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

        Like him this GW. Boro will be rigid, might take a set piece to open them up.

    • Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Play 3:
      1) Monreal
      2) Lovren
      3) Yoshida
      4) Stephens
      5) Bavies

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

        Monreal Lovren Bavies

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, you think Monreal has a better chance of a cleanie over Yoshida?

    • 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
      E) Clyne in for Cahill

    • Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      how to work out rival transfer?
      There's a method isn't there. Looking at the funds or summa?

      1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes look for rises in his team value then check who rose that day to see who matches. I used to do it but cannot be bothered now, too much work!

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

      173 points and now Got a top 100k finish. Giroud captain?

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

        Got a top 100k in my sight

      2. Top 210 Club
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No ways kane, sanchez or cout

    • Legomane
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone else popped the armband straight on Harry after tonight...rarely strikes twice but he's a hungry boy is Harry

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

        Of course. He has a golden boot to win

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

        Post match interview, he seemed very keen on scoring more then one against hull. Add to it that hull are reckless, and conceded 4 to cpl.

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

        I like Jesus. Could do the same at Watford. I could make 5 captncy picks though. Kane costa Kdb Jesus Sanchez

      4. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Still on Sanchez. Kane, Jesus, even Coutinho. Hazard might turn up too yet...!

        1. 8ball
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez not been getting many points against the big teams. Few better options this week.

      5. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I'm going with him.

    • Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      Those with poor TVs cashing in with the likes of....

      Stephens, Yoshida, Fabregas, Son, Davis, Holding,Zaha, Sane etc 🙂

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

        Posted the same thing before the DGW. There's always a way, no matter what your TV.

        Am going to reduce my impulse purchases next season.

    • Rainer

      1. S.Agueroooooo

        Sanchez or kane will be more popular

          or (c)out

        A) costa > sturridge

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

          I actually don't think I'd sell any of them to be honest. Captain Costa

          1. S.Agueroooooo
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Vert > davies lol

      4. FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And I thought Jesus was a good captain.

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

          And me

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

          Chin up lad. on any other gw it was a great captaincy pick.

          Alexis and Kane (two most explosive players) had other ideas (Alexis captainer here)

        3. tutankamun
          • 16 Years

      5. Dont give a fuchs
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        All set for final GW

        Caballero
        Azpi alonso monreal
        Sanchez coutinho sane alli
        Jesus kane gabbi

        Pickford capoue holgate stephens.

        GTG?

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

        Surely that was the end of season madness tonight. I can't go through this again Sunday (unless I own the player of course!).

      7. FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I got Triple Captain for 38, Harry, definitely?

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

          Same and I can't see beyond him. that haul tonight hasn't helped as strange as it may sound

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

        What % chance do you think the following are to start this last game?

        A) Sane

        B) Costa

        C) Sturridge

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          95% for all.

        3. Feloh

        5. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          B is a slight risk as Batshuayi has scored in 2 consecutive games and conte might retain him

          Costa likely return for Cup Final

        6. dunas_dog

      9. Baked baines
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Everyone with 2 S'ton defenders. Are we playing both of them against Stoke!

        Also cech - willy. Who do we start for GW38?!?

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

          wouldnt risk it, one is enough

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

          Just playing one. Don't know which of Yoshida or Stephens to choose though.

        3. 8ball
          • 11 Years

      10. Chicken-Mandy
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        75 points ahead in mini league, do i need to worry about my rival still (he has triple captain) or should i relax and just play my own game?

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

          you should be safe. saying that covering some of his big differentials would do no harm

          1. Chicken-Mandy
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I almost covered his costa differential by selling kane for him this week, thank god i didnt

        2. Pocky
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          You'd want to mirror his Captain...do that and you'll be home and dry.

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

          More likely King after tonight's rout..

        2. HurriKane
          • 13 Years

          leicester unpredictable id prefer vardy over mahrez who seems more interested

        How did Mahrez look tonight? Passing the 'eye-test'?

        Hiya lads, hope everyone did great!

        Do we reckon cahill and alonso are going to start on Sunday?

        Also have Hazard but might ship him for Cout.

        Any help appreciated.

          Considering Haz Holgate > Couts Cahill here

              I do, but reckon I'll probably not go with the Cahill switch for (-4)...will see once presser

          De Jesus > Aguero is a bit sideways

        Kane or Vardy for the last spot in my attack? Other two are Sturridge and Jesus.
