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.

      Who stitched Jonty up by telling him to wear a fishing hat instead of beach attire?

      I'm equal on points on top with my cash mini league rival, it's going to be a very stressful and nailbiting last gameweek.

      1. S.Agueroooooo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Looks great if you win

        So is my brother in his league. I'm jealous for the excitement.

        Link you league and let's see if it's the same one.

        Yep

    • Olee
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      171 after Baps, and Eriksen didnt play! Cant really complain though.

    • Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Earlier I posted this....

      The well documented Spencer blunder of him losing 40 points and captaining Anichebe for DGW36 is erm...well documented.

      Anyway we are in an ML battle for top spot and going into DGW36 I was a mere 7 points behind before his blunders. Fast forward to the last game of DGW37, the gap now is 79 points in my favour.

      Tonight I have Eriksen (grr), Vert and Alli and he has Bavies, Alli and Kane (C) and then of course he has WC in the last game and will go diff central.

      Surely he can't catch me up?

      ****** Update ****

      Oh my days.

      Well his Kane (c) just tore into that lead, he scored 58 tonight to my 7, so 51 points over me. My lead now just 28 points and he was a WC for diff central!

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years

        You're going to lose to a moron

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

          TBH I was happy hanging on on to his coat tails as that has really pushed me this season.

          If I had one won I would have feel it was a hollow win ML win, would gladly take whatever OR I finish and be happy with that. If things took their proper course he would be whooping me anyway.

    • TJ_777

      205 after Baps unbelievable !

        Damn man congrats

        Unbelievable jeff

      Kane two goals ahead of Lukaku - beached!

    • nkhoughton
      • 10 Years

      Are we crazy to sell spurs assets(Eriksen)

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

        Not really. I've just ditched Eriksen for Cout.

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

          Do we not expect him to play after being benched?

          A repeat performance against a weaker team than Leicester could be very scary or is Kane enough

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

            I expect him to play but I don't expect the Hull game to be similar to tonight. I think it will be much tighter.

            1. Kanga roo
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              And why is that? Hull playing for the shop windows or what?

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

      Who to captain from this bunch?

      Cech
      Alonso / Monreal / Yoshida
      Sanchez / KDB / Coutinho / Mahrez / Sane
      Kane / Gabriel

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

        Coutinho or Kane

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

          Really not fancying Kane, despite his goals tonight.

          What about Sanchez looking to end the season on a high and Arsenal needing a win?

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

        Kane if leading, pick a punt if chasing.

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

        Kane Sanchez or Couts for me

    • ezaku
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      About 9 points from top 1k.

      Was thinking Eriksen > Coutinho, but I think Eriksen is worth holding onto since he got a full rest today.

      Thinking maybe Gabbiadini > Origi if Firmino doesn't play?

    • Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Look forward to OR update. Nr 1547 and 30 points tonight

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Ranked @ 2k ish. Own Kane but didn't Captain him. Do you think I can get green arrow?

    • French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      165 post baps - i guess that's below average for FFS?

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

        Got 187 with a -8pt

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

          also forgot to mention my -8 and my mighty bench boost of 10pts - utter disgrace

    • tattywelshie
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Defo reckon FPL should look at adding extra bonus points for a striker that scores a hatty or more!! Every other position has multiple ways of scoring points after all. Good idea?

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

        Yes.

      2. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights

        Nah. He gets the 3 BPs and points for the goals anyway

        There should be a valid reason for getting extra points . Being greedy is not a valid reason .

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          A hat trick sounds a pretty valid reason to me...

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            It just seems like a arbitrary excuse to give an extra point . Should three assists equal an extra point ? . Also how many hattricks are there in a season ? . Hardly enough to merit an extra point .

            1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              I get your point. But 3 assists isn't known as anything in comparison to scoring 3 goals which is named due to how hard it is.

              I used to play the metro fantasy football and they rewarded additional points for a hat trick. Goalkeepers are rewarded if they make a penalty save. But at the end of the day, that is just a save which they are rewarded points for should they string a couple saves together.

      Leicester defenders confirming that it is possible to finish on minus points playing 180 mins of a dgw

        164 points, all chips used by gw27 - pleased with that and fended of all BB/TC ML challengers this week.

        Reward for many weeks of careful transfers in.

            Ah. I knew it was close. Quite a change this year.

          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Leicesters last game was Chelsea , they beat Everton in 37 even though they won the title . They won it in 36 when Leicester drew with United and Spurs lost to Chelsea

      • Darklord_bg

        Cedric to Ben Davies or Matip?

      • matiakez

        Any ideas for this team?

          Hazard to coutinho?

      • A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Didn't see the match. Was Ndidi's assist a real one or just FPL assist? Asking for another game which is under review right now.

        1. Kirton Hoops
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          FPL one... I think he was tackled and ball went to player to took a few touches before scoring
