The Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV concludes tomorrow as the Premier League season draws to a close. Nine weeks of hard work (and considerable good fortune) has left us with two Fantasy Managers battling it out for the top prize of a £150 Amazon gift voucher (and a consolation prize of a £75 voucher). So let's meet our finalists...

The final podcast of the season is with us to reveal that "deprivation" is the key word when it comes to Mark's season finale. When Sunday rolls around and the hardcore (I include myself in this) are watching the season finale in glorious HD, Mark is set to be consigned to follow the action via a mobile phone. An old boy is 99 not out and our host is booked in to party along with the Werthers originals and rich tea biscuit dunking. Not the season climax our Mark had in mind.

The penultimate Gameweek of the season sees four Fantasy Managers go head to head in the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV Semi-Finals. A win here not only earns them a place in the Grand Final next week, but guarantees them one of the two big prizes.

With just three weeks of the season remaining, the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV has reached the Quarter-Final stage. From over 1,600 entries we are down to just eight Fantasy Managers, filling four Quarter-Final ties. Along with news of how they came through their Last 16 fixture, here are those ties...

Here were are on the eve of Gameweek 35 and there's the small matter of the Sixth Round draw for the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IV to deal with. Just 16 Fantasy Managers now remain, which gives us (well, me at least) a slightly startling reminder as to how close to the season end we are.

The podcast is back, we've missed you. Time once again to take the Mickey Bliss. It's been 4 gameweeks, including 11 doubles. Between us we've haemorrhaged 52 points on transfers with injuries and rotation striking at the very heart of our teams. A two-week international break has us both chomping for some fantasy action that doesn't involve SKY TV channel 900.
