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.

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

    8 starters including captain. 1 not in the squad.

    That'll do for now.

    As a Chelsea fan, I only bought Harry Kane in this week to put the TC on him because I know he will let me down!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Yep.

    2. TooDifficuIt
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      only Hazard for me

    3. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Rain it in.

  6. Hands Guber
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    This isn't a complete disaster for Sterling (C)/(TC)'s until Kane and Jesus get some points tbqh.

    Then it's a complete disaster fair enough.

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years

      Moon lands on man

    2. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      This. Sterling still in the lead right now.

  7. Darsh
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Cmon Fernandinho, this gameweek is calling out for a DGW hero!

  8. Jafooli

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Yedlin - tick
    Son - tick
    Sane - tick
    Jesus - tick
    Kane (TC) - tick

    Sterling - dick

    1. Chucky

      😛

  9. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    As someone with Sterling (C) and Ederson ...

    HAHAHAHAHAHA you can't be angry with this disastrous DGW

  10. Spike ⚽️
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    No Hazard and Sterling (tc) no where in sight - season fecked!

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

    My only player not playing is my TC.

    So I’ve been lucky to avoid rotation. But why god why

    1. Ragabolly
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same here

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Because you chose Sterling...

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

        I thought he’d at least come off the bench in one of the games. Out the squad is a shock

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same boat (tonight) , but with Silva too. It's legitimately made me disinterested in the remainder of this season 🙁

  12. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Commiserations to Sterling, KDB TC. The lesson I'm taking from this season is never play the TC chip at the end of the season

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

      Or just TC someone nailed?

      Or Salah.

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

        Like hazard ? 😉

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

          GW34 showed his nailed-ness.

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

      Kane earlier this season?
      Kane last season?

    3. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I still got mine left gonna play it in the final week for fun

      that was always the plan

  13. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Andy should've triple captained Fernandino

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don't. Feel so bad for him 🙁

  14. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    This has to go down as the worst DGW in history. Lol@everyone

  15. Dobswell55

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Jesus Sterling (TC) not even being in the squad hurts, was hoping he'd come off the bench at least..
    If Kane scores my seasons over.
    My seasons over.

    1. Dobswell55
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pissed off pun intended

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Will be even more disappointing now if Kane blanks.

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hattrick confirmed

  17. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years

    hazard feckeeeeer

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

      Cont the fecker

  18. SAY MY NAME
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    like many I've had numerous dgw players miss games (inc sterling TC), but this was fairly likely to happen at this stage of the season

    goes to show that using chips like TC in a SGW earlier in the season when a player is on fire and has a nice fixture (eg salah vs Watford) can be the more prudent move (disclaimer: got 87 points from sanchez last season in a dgw), and another reason not to take big hits for a DGW

  19. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    No Sterling but then all my main rivals (top 2/3 in ML's) all have him anyway, main thing is my nearest rival who is in fact currently 8pts above me has Sterling(C) and Dilva so happy!! ME : Kane(TC), Jesus, Eriksen, Son, Maguire tonight, HIM : Aubameyang, Vardy, Eriksen...please be quiet Auba and don't go ruining it...again!!

  20. Patch

    How do ppl feel about David Silva's absence once again?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He's gone back to Spain

      Well deserved time with family

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

      As expected. Much bigger than football.

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This.

        I mean, seriously, how can anybody be irritated at losing points in a game vs the health of his family.

        1. Patch
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          This isn't even a troll post, just how I feel...he is a professional footballer...the clue is in the title.

          When you go to office work, you put on your business mask and get on with it, leave personal back at home.

          Nuff Said + again not a troll post.

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

      I'm not gonna say anything then...there must be something different about me, I must be wired wrong!

      1. Fantastisk
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        He should toughen up?

    4. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Was a punt to chase a rival. Thought his little one was better.

      Seems like a thoroughly excellent bloke and family over Football!

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

      It was always a massive risk.
      It’s only a game.

  21. Debauchy
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Note to self , use all chips before the last DGW of the season

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

      Ha. Yeah, agreed.

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

        Haz TC had to risk as a chaser , ah well tired legs and all,,,

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Very very unlucky to be honest. Thought he d play after the Liverpool win

  22. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 14 Years

    Sterling Silva Monreal Lowton,

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Well done to those with Auba! Gonna be the real DGW differential

    1. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years

      Thanks again.

  24. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Only 62pts needed to crack the ton with four playing tonight, and a possible two tomorrow.

    A breeze eh?

  25. tricky80
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard on bench, Monreal double blank... My whole season stuffed. Desperately need Kane TC returns and Pogba to go goal crazy.

    Maybe even a Morgan CS... smh.

    1. Bragazeti
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Major disappointment. Hope Arsenal ships in a couple today

  26. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling, Lingard to Salah, Mili for -4 or Lingard to Zaha for free

  27. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Need another Kane and Jesus blank.
    Ranked 4k now, be lucky to be 20 by the end of tonight

  28. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    When your rival 31 points ahead has Ederson, Monreal and Sterling and you have triple captain Kane over his standard captain...

    It’s the hope that kills you

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

      That line was part of a soliloquy I did back in my teens.
