The ScoutCast crew are desperate to lift themselves after falling victim to one of the most underwhelming Double Gameweeks in memory, though with five matches still to come, there remains a tinge of optimism.

Granville, Jonty, Andy and Az join me for a full strength line-up as we begin the post-mortem on Triple Captain failure and unrewarded points hits.

The five of us collectively kick ourselves for ignoring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as the foresight of one leading Fantasy Premier League manager sparks debate on how and why the masses overlooked the Gunners’ striker.

Mohamad Salah’s untimely slump is also assessed as we’re guided by your community questions, before we look ahead to Gameweek 38 via our handpicked selection of differentials designed to lift our spirits come Sunday.

And, while we’re in a reflective mood, we also take time out to consider our early lessons learned from the campaign, with much more to follow in next week’s final episode of the season.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday evening. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Morgan gets 2 start! *facepalm*

    1. Holmes

      7 years, 7 months ago

      Bringing Van Der for him and Mustafi for Ward went well...

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Ouch! This game is frustrating at times. Rival has Huddersfield defender off the bench for Chilwell and I get Tarkowski for mustafi

  3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

    Alonso starts damnnnn. Wilian starts though

    1. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I have Morgan, Alonso, Willian 🙂

      Was expecting 1 start at best. This way I at least get let down in stages. Cue 2pts all round.

      It's the hope that kills....

  4. borat

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Christensen, william, Simpson start.
    That's a big relief. Burnley def won't be coming on now

    Mustafi owners licking their lips for a haul tonight?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Tarkowski -1 coming off my bench.

      1. J T
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

    2. J T
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

    3. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Especially those who got him in for a hit..

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He had to be dropped after so many awful performances. No surprise here.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Why in DGW though! Should have dropped him beforehand...

    5. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Things like this are pretty annoying -_-

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This random benching I mean, not your post 😛

        1. Jafooli
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          That you Chucky? 😉

    6. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve got Dunks 8 pointer coming in for Mustafi so the way this week has gone it’s certain Mustafi will come on for a 1 minute cameo

  6. Eden Wizard
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hahahahahahahazard

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Find a good hiding place.

  8. J T
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Well Mustafi was a good purchase.

  9. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Willian don’t punish me baby.

    Alonso. Reward me baby.

  10. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mustafi. What a shambles, got Tarkowski off the bench

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same here. Nightmare.

  11. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Lol @ the 'Morgan will miss one game' sheep

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Morgan owners are more to be mocked

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, but not as much as those who took a hit to sell him

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It was more likely than not

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      2 points total incoming.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Better than those who took hits to get him out

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          a hit*

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Depends who you brought in

            1. Cok3y5murf
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Nah. Hasn't worked for any replacement, except possibly Cedric depending on today's result.

              1. Pat Bonner
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                So it has worked for those who brought in Cedric. What about Vertonghen? That was my move

          2. Red Dagger ✪
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago
