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.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Kane and Davioes hauls helped me make up a 50pt deficit on 2nd place in my ML. We go into GW38 on level terms with 110 quid difference in money from 2-3. Each with 1 FT

    Willy, DDG
    Alonso, Monreal, Holding, Yoshida, Davies
    Hazard, Sanchez, Erikssen, Sane, JWP
    Kane, Jesus, Gabby
    0.1M ITB

    I'm thinking Gabby to Origi, Vokes or Llorente, but debating a hit to get Fab and Couts for Haz and JWP (3-5-2). Rival doesn't have Kane and lacks the cash to swap Costa for him straight up.

    Thoughts?

    I know it'll sound knee jerky but vardy hardly had a kick for 160-170 mins that he played in that double game week im not sure but I think his purple patch dried up soon as drinkwater was out.. so considering selling him instead of Costa to Sturridge on a ft?

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Couldn't imagine bringing him in at all this season. Definitely boot.

  5. QueefParkRangers
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    From what I remember from previous last games, was never to take hits, because of so many rotations / teams not caring, it's never really a high scoring week.

    1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think this is right, anyone with a lead should just use their free transfer. People chasing should gamble a little more

  6. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Do I tear my squad apart to bring Kane in or just leave it?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Leave it

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Leave it.

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd like to but Hull barely have a defence...

  7. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else think that Lukaku will go out against Arsenal on Sunday and , boss the Arsenal defence and score a few to tie up the golden boot is his in his final year at Everton?

    Nah, me neither.

  8. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…

    This week has equalled in some parts of the season the total of 4gameweek scores. Don't know whether thats a good thing for this game week or a bad thing for showing how poor I've been this year!

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Do you remember last seaon when 30 points a GW were normal

  9. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How does this sound:

    Gabbi, King & Monreal > Llorente, Coutinho & Matip

    -8

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not great

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I see little point in taking hits like that when you only have one game for it to pay off and GW38 is arguably the most unpredictable of the season.

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      The players you are taking out are good. Too risky.

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Gabbi? Really?

        1. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Well obviously not him but you know what I mean.

          Of course the sponge will probably score a brace now...

          1. ralfb
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Probably he will, you are right 😉 , as usualy players do once i got rid

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty bad

  10. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    223 the highest score this GW

    Must be a new record surely

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He's in the FFS league too.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      And had gabbi 🙂

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I thought it was 205 but Ziro told me that some guy got 226 last season

  11. fancy111
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What are the chances of Firmino playing on Sunday?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He's still not back in training. Highly doubt he'll start.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        May punt on Origi then

    2. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If fit 100%

  12. ralfb

    Haz alli costa to firminho coutinho kun for -8?

  13. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    14k GW rank, a new pb which I doubt I'll be topping for a while!

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Happy with by 5k in GW33. But I can hardly gloat with my OR. Shhh

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Although it's becauseI TCed Kane that week, which wasn't a terrible move, but obviously not the best

    2. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not with that attitude.

  14. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Start Yosh and Stephens or bench one for Holding?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Holding if no other Arsenal defender

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Play Holding, Arsenal clean could be on the cards

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Going double Arsenal at the back, still playing for something.

    4. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers all

  15. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Top score of 223 and he had a zero in there too!

  16. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Really missed a trick not putting the TC on Kane or Alexis. Still a very good DGW. Kane went absolutely nuts, he's just obsessed with goals.

  17. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    a) Haz to Cout
    b) Caballero to Mignolet

    1. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Who's your other keeper.

      1. Coaly

    Sturridge better than Coutinho for the gw imo.Any thougths?

    1. Nigawan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      thats why im getting both HAHAH

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Countinho probably easier to fit in for most people

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This is my biggest problem.Must sell Kane or Jesus to take him.Maybe sell Jesus.

    1,k rise to 5k with Kane tonight, I'll take it!

    1. liiusions

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I am surprised the highest score is not higher really some huge scores out there around the 250 mark was very possible

        This guy did not even captain Kane and owned Gabbi after all

    2. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
