It’s always hard to pick a winner in the scouting god contest, but this month was possibly the hardest yet – so I’ve included a few shout outs at the end just to show you how tough it was for me to choose a top five, never mind a winner.

If you’ve got any ideas for the next contest, please do let me know. I’m thinking of perhaps making it more specialised, for example setting you guys the goal of finding the best scouted goalkeeper. If you think that sounds good – or if you think I should keep the contest as it is – let me know in the comments below.
