Reluctantly creeping back into the studio, tail protruding between my weary legs, I cut a forlorn figure for the return of the ScoutCast. Nevertheless, after a two-week break, I brave another half-hour of bile and banter with host Mark to bring the curtain down on my season to forget.

The Samaritans listening needn’t be concerned. I was smiling by the end, if only to see Mark almost on his knees begging me to rethink any plans of Fantasy Football retirement. The very idea.

In between my whining, we give the season a post-mortem, speculate on next season’s prices and assess the tussle at the top of the FPL with another Scout winner still a possibility.

Get this one big miffed of a Scoutcast via this link or use the convenient little player below to stream away.

    Ok folks thoughts on my team for final GW after -4 (yet to be done, just waiting for press conferences)

    De Gea

    Evans, Verm, Jags

    Maloney, Ramires, Nani, VdV

    RvP, Cisse, Aguero (c)

    Mingolet, Siggy, Caulker, Santon

    Right move to keep Cisse and sell Jelly?

      What is your thinking about Nani and getting some playing time? I brought him in last week as a differential (chasing Rooney/Val. owners) and as you well know, he got none.
      I'm tempted to drop him for a reliable 100%-er.
      I'm selling selling Cisse/keeping Jela- Newc let in 4 vs Wigan, and I might sneak Siggy in there,rumour is that Pool are already on hols.

    I'm really hoping Wigan take their foot off the gas for the last game now they are safe, and Wolves have a last throw of the dice.

    Friedel Ruddy
    Jagielka Kompany Terry JEvans Simpson
    Moses Van der Vaart Bale Sigurdsson Reo-Coker
    Van Persie Jelavic Sturridge

    He has just the 1 FT and 0.5m

    Foster Mignolet
    Gibbs Smalling Kompany Walker Caulker
    Bale Chamberlain Valencia Cabaye Sigurdsson
    Rooney Cisse Van Persie

    Any thoughts? I cant see an obvious way to get Kun in without losing VDV or Terry so any other obvious options for me?
