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.

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

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

    Courtois Huth Negredo Holgate

    A) Mawson in for Huth bench Stephens
    B) Mawson in for Huth bench Yoshida
    C) Lovren in for Huth bench Yoshida
    D) Lovren in for Huth bench Stephens
    E) Fabregas in for Alli
    F) Fabregas in for Eriksen
    G) Clyne in for Cahill

      think you play southampton defense
      clyne to cahill potentially or son for eriksen

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

        Cheers, I'm guessing that should read Cahill to Clyne, which do you think will be the more profitable move?

      Why wouldn't u captain kane? Everton can be solid

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

        Apologies, I am captaining Kane, copy and pasted my team from an old post (price of laziness) 😉

        1. Top 210 Club
          • 15 Years

          High 5

            *High fives Hazardous*

  2. ChrisHXS

    Hello!

    Could really use some advice. So I've been chasing my casual ML rival all season and thanks to Kane I have gone from 40 behind to about 3 in front...

    My team is

    Cabellero
    Alonso Monreal
    Sanchez Alli Hazard King Sane
    Jesus Kane Anichebe

    Pickford Stephens Yoshida Vertonghen

    Thinking of using my AOA. He has the same team except for Cab, Kane and Monreal as he has a much worse team value.

    Swap Hazard and Anichebe for Coutinho and Llorente for a - 4? Or just the first and don't use AOA?

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

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

      Just the first, you have plenty of good defensive options on your bench, it's a forced AOA rather than a necessity

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

        OK that makes me sense. I don't really want to use with those defenders. Can see a few of them getting a Cs.

        Thanks!

    I have one of those fisherman tales. I was trailing by 100+ but over last few weeks caught up and passed the ML leader by 5pts. He had an unlucky week with rotations. Don;t care about OR, just want to win ML and it is basically between e and him unless there is a freak week

    Advise on my transfer(s). Only one free FT
    FT: Reckon it's Alli to Coutinho or Lukaku to Sturridge. Or should I try and snuff out some of his defensive differentials?
    Captain: Sanchez, Kane (or Coutinho)?
    Bench look right?

    My team
    Heaton
    Cedric, Kompany, Holding
    Sanchez, KDB, King, Alli
    Lukaku, Jesus, Kane
    (Jaku: Brunt, Holgate, de Roon)

    His
    Caballero
    Alonso, Davies, Monreal
    Hazard, Sane, Eriksen
    Costa, Jesus, Kane
    (Jaku, JWP, Lingard, Gibbs)

    Thanks!

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

      Kane

  4. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Man a mega cash ML I'm in is going to the wire, 3 point lead going into GW38!

    My team is ok, but the major concerns is Gabbiadini, JWP and if Hazard/Alli will start.
    Rival has KDB, King, Vardy as major differentials to my Hazard, Eriksen, Kane.

    Which way should I go:
    A. Hazard + Alli > KDB (Cover his KDB differential) + Coutinho (-4) [start Gabb or JWP eek]
    B. Hazard + Gabbiadini > Coutinho + Giroud (-4) [3-4-3]
    C. Alli + JWP > Coutinho + King (Cover his King differential) (-4) [bench Gabb 3-5-2]

    My team:
    Hennessey (Pickford)
    Alonso Monreal Kompany
    Sanchez Hazard* Alli* Eriksen (JWP)
    Kane Jesus Gabbiadini*

    1. Toby Lerone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. 8ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You are taking a hit to cover KDB but that gives him a 1 point lead. Who are the differentials in both your teams if you get in KDB or King?

  5. CREAM
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane or coutinho (C) ..?

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      pretty sure I'll go Costa unless Conte mentions something weird

  6. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane fever for good reason but respect to the players that also kept Son

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No respect needed for Son owners, their poor TV meant that they couldnt afford one of Alli/Eriksen

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

      He was on his way out until the firmino news so quite lucky for me. Hopefully bodes well for 38 as he is explosive as much as he is frustrating

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

    Ali to Coutinho for a FT?

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

      That's what I'm doing

    2. 8ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  8. Jay_
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looking forward to seeing the gw #1 this week

      Kane TC, Sanchez, Jesus, Son, Azpi likely

    • edfiasco
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      200 points on the nose.

      deeeeeecent.

      1. Legomane
        • 10 Years

        🙂

    • Toby Lerone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How did mahrez do tonight? Apart from watch his defence get mullered

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

        He was awful chillwell was their star man that's how bad they were

      2. Toby Lerone
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Will avoid that differential then this weekend

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

          Must take into account that bour no where near as solid as spurs but I am considering shipping vardy from what I seen tonight

    • AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Will we learn our lesson and not captain Liverpool players as their goals are to spread out?

    • tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez Tuesday
      Gabbiadini Wednesday
      Kane Thursday
      is the ultimate FPL roller coaster.

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 1 month ago

          The thing is, with all of that, whilst following FFF predicted rank, my rank barely changed all the way through. Think it was only having one ARS and one SOT defender and no Davies.

        • Diva
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I can add the Stephens, JWP and Gabbiadini benching as an early dip on my rollercoaster.

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

        Will Costa start against Sunderland ?

        Batshuayi has scored 2 consecutive matches. so why bench him when the league is already won. sentiment may take over

        Costa will return for Cup Final more Likely

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

          This they won't risk him for injury or suspension

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

            yh conte will prioritize cup final now after warpping up the league so he wouldnt risk all his top players against sunderland

            much like what mourinho is doing now (resting likes of rashford Valencia)

        2. b✪mber
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          nobody knows... there are arguments for both scenarios. for example: the 2 week gap for Costa if he doesn't play might hurt his match fitness for the final.

      3. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Regretted not keeping Son for this dgw after his monstrous haul but oh well...

      4. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years

        Mark lost for words on Jules Instagram story !!!

          I'm also loss for words 😆

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

        What about Charlie Austin as differential for current gabbi owners?

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Good shout

        2. Moose™
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Wow! Just woke up. Saw my scores, almost touch the 200 scores. 195 without hits. Kane(c) works wonders I guess. Anyone?

        3. Anthony77
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Gabbiadini replacement ?

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

            Literally anybody else.

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Depends on rest of team and free cash. Llorente if cash tight, if funds then Giroud

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

            Bench and play 352?

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

            look up!

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

            Vokes or Llorente

            1. Anthony77
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I think I might go with Llorente

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

          Caballero. Pickford.
          Alonso. Kompany. Monreal. Yoshida. Stephens.
          Sanchez. Alli. Coutinho. Fabregas. King.
          Kane. Jesus. Anichebe.

          Gtg for GW 38?

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

            Yep, very nice team, good luck

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

          gabbiadini double digit haul incoming after all the unfaithful ones will have ditched

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            extremely unlikely

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

            Can't worry bout that he's going

          3. Super Silva
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Lol

          4. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Wasn't that penalty his only shot in the game? He's not even going to start.

        6. Pinky Blinders
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Everybody is hanging out here tonight. Some gravs I haven't seen for ages. Happy days

          1. Toby Lerone
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            They must've had kane captain

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

          Hazard to Fab
          JWP to Coutinho.

          Fab rising so if I go for it needs to be tonight.
          Hazard rested?
          Cout to make up for the hit?

        8. Ange Ball
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thinking this

          Sane Alli Out
          Coutinho Son in free

          G2G?


          Cabarello
          Yoshida Monreal Alonso 
          Pedro Sanchez Coutinho Son
          Kane (C) Costa De Jesus

        9. mogadishu

          Anyone doing Alli/Sane -> Coutinho ? Feel like I need to be talked out of it..

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

            I'm doing alli

        10. Super Silva
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Coutinho In.. Who out ??

          A. Sanchez
          B. Eriksen
          C. Sane
          D. Kdb

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

            B

            1. Super Silva
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Think he has had his rest and will play the last game.with Alli being rested next. Leaning towards Kdb.

        11. Hart-ake
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          For those chasing...is it worth taking a hit for GW38? Considering a 4pt or 8pt hit, but now thinking that puts me even further behind straight away.

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

            depends. off course you could gain points from taking hits

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

            Yeah, that's the worry, hits can pay off in a dgw, other times unless it's an obvious move tends not to pay off. The player you are bringing in has to score/assist with the other player you are selling blanking just for you to break even.

          3. cjw176
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Depends who you plan to bring in. If its coutinho Kane or Sanchez then its worth a hit

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

            Depends on what you are chasing. Id rather go out swinging if its between getting paid in a ML or placing a 3-4k lower in OR. If you have chance to win something, why not take a hit or two!

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

          Which is the more profitable move?

          A) Cahill to Clyne
          B) Eriksen to Son
          C) Alli to Son

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

            find something else to do

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

              Literally can't find much else to do! Especially in regards to first 11

              Team is:
              Heaton
              Cahill Stephens Yoshi
              Sanchez Alli Eriksen Coutinho Sane
              Jesus (K)ane
