The ScoutCast – Episode 226 – Beached

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.

    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*

      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?

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

        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.

          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.
