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.

        I'm on 274th. Happy with it but did expect a bit better with Kane.

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Yeah it's good for sure. But I was on 309th before this gameweek so hoped for a bigger jump. Still very happy however.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          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

      Thank god ! - First Green since GW28 - back up to 6k.

    12. liiusions

      3 points behind Wonka, he's done without Kane for the Hull game

    13. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      From 240k going into GW36, to 83k going into GW38. 🙂

    14. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard will start against Sunderland. He will have had 6 days rest since Watford. Playing 1 game a week is not too strenuous.

      If he doesn't play or gets a brief substitute appearance on Sunday then that is 13 days without any significant football to prepare for the FA Cup final.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Is it Hazard's turn to score a brace ?

        I am not pretty confident owning him. Might Transfer him out

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

        Agree

        1. FPL Virgin

      6,673 😮

      Now 41 points ahead of top 10k apparently.

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Looks like your in Andy!

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

        Gotta go for top 5k now

      3. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Imagine where you would be with no hits and an extra 96 points.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Outside the top 10K probably.

          Will you ever quit going on about that? Absolutely obsessed.

          You've taken over 70 yourself

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I'm a purist. Frivolous hits cheapen the beautiful game.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          I wondered the same actually. Think it might be off so early after updating

          1. CloudSky
            • 9 Years

            2248 should be 5000 place.

    17. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      153k to 35k in 2 weeks.

      I'm tipping my own hat here.

      Closed an 80 point gap the last few weeks and now up 70 points.

      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bench boost success all round I take it? 26pts here and the most on the bench all season. Sounds like those who suggested the bench boost was failure for FFS a few days back got it wrong.

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

        56 😉
        My real bench boost would have been 30

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          We are only interested in the real bench boost

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

            30

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

        14 here, not so much of a success

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Hard luck, that isn't ideal.

      3. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        25 for me although Gabbi played in 11.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I had Gabbi too, I selected my best 11 last week and he was in it. Its only hindsight now of course.

      4. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        24 for me, highest bench score of season.

        Playing BB another week and TC this week would have been better but nothing is perfect

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Its whats easiest to predict at the end of the day. Doing it this way had the odds in our favour. I think only with the benefit of hindsight could you say it wasn't 'perfect' of course FPL is never perfect.

      5. Sideways Backwards
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Still a fail really, didn't need it to score big this week

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          How is it a fail?

      6. Jamin
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Just 16 for me. Stephens, anichebe & Holgate doing their worst

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Pure bench fodder that. Probably shouldn't have expected much from them.

          1. Jamin
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Very true. 183 for the GW so balanced out. Chip lessons to be learnt for next year methinks!

      What a Gameweek. Steady mediocre gws had me ranked 282k leading up to this double. Now up to 138k.

      I know its not much of an OR around these parts but I'm absolutely buzzing!!

        Had a bit of a shocker this gw. Went from 77k > 177k, after tonight back to 147k. If I finish in top 100k I need a mammoth score on Sunday.
        Pickford
        Cahill alonso kompany
        Mahrez coutinho alli king
        Jesus aguero kane(c)
        So I basically need defence to smash it and mahrez brace and Kun Hatti

      Inside 100k GR for 5 weeks in a row. Up 1,050,000 OR in those 5GWs. Reduced ML deficit by 104 in that time too.

      But I think the extra 60pts is a bit too much to make up. Game overrrrr

        Oh even worse. It's an 82pt deficit, not 60. Ohhhhh if there were only 40GWs instead of 38
