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.

    KDB triple captain wasn’t quite the resounding success I was hoping for then!

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

      He may come off the bench and score 2 goals against a tired BHA side

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        You can but hope.

    2. reddragons178

      Ditto 🙁

  2. Eden Wizard

    7/7 starters tonight humble brag

    1. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      All my players starting apart from sterling. Happy days. Alli Jesus tc Willian Kane. Come on boys

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

    Hopefully Ramsey + Son will reward owners

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

    Jesus and Kane blanks to wrap up this gameweek.

  5. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    10 points behind my minileague rival who has Kane TC’d while I went for Sterling. Praying for a Kane blank but seems utterly fruitless now. What a miserable end to the season.

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

      I've got me fingers crossed for you...

      1. Plagued by indecision
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. I have other differentials that could do the business: Willian, Eriksen and Davies vs Lingard, Son and Trippier.

  6. PvA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Season rests on Jesus' shoulders

    Let's do this

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

      Same here. Rests on his head and his legs I would say.

    2. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Come on Jesus

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

    No Sterling... that will only affect... every single person playing FPL!

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I think there are some managers who have Jesus and Sane yet do not own Sterling. Of course, the bigger issue is for those who TC Sterling. That is not every manager.

    2. Numb
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Very bad for triple captainers, bad for captainers, marginally good for most other owners rank wise, very good for non owners

  8. TallestJohn
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Can't remember a worse year for DGWs in terms of nailing down the big hitters. Auba, Giroud and Son the only players worth more than 8m to make the dream team in a DGW.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      vardy too hopefully

      1. Fantastisk

  9. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Damn, my triple Newcastle defence are all playing!

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

    Kane - I expect at least 3 from you son.
    Vert - try and score or assist this time as well as a cleansheet. Nearly is not good enough

    1. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You will be lucky to get 1

  11. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    9 points increase in total score as soon as the games kick off. 😛

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      • 13 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years

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

      Sterling has the most assists this season.

  13. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    1. lugs

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

      Yes. Unless Ederson gets subbed on.

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Fancy he'll miss. Has an 11/11 record.

    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sky game.....Got a transfer to take out Sterling. Who should I get?
    Morata
    Pedro
    Son
    Bernardo
    Other??

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yaya.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Done! Time to have some fun.

        1. Numb
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          MOTM surely nailed on!

    2. lugs
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ramsay , i think the Leic Ars game will be high scoring

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

      Y??? Sterling will play last match.

  15. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Perfection - no Mustafi, no Sterling. Bring on blanks for the rest. Lovely

  16. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What a shocking season! Sterling TC to catch up and he’s not even in the squad. Most the time success has relied on luck this season and there are too many high owned players. enough said!

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

    Does this mean that Mourinho will rest DeGea, Smalling tomorrow ?

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

      Hopefully

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

      Just Smalling

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Does what mean that?

  18. George James
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who’s in best position?

    A) Kane (TC), Jesus, Eriksen, Kenedy, Morgan +15 points

    B) Kane, Jesus, Vardy, Mahrez, Lacelles, Jones, Schindler

    C) Kane, Jesus, Perez, Eriksen, Lejuene, Lloris, Smalling

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

    Last season's gw 37 I got 149pts. This season 49 if I'm lucky!

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

      69 if I get lucky.

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

      No bragging please

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If the first half of this DGW is anything to go by I will scrape 40pts

  20. £27.6m in sterling si…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone beat 5?

    Not in Squad: Courtois, Otamendi, Monreal, Sterling
    On bench: Moses

    Thankfully I bench boosted!?

    First half 6: Valencia, Ramsey, Son, Gundogan, Lingard, Monreal All benched or not in squad

    Ramsey and Gundogan playing makes up for Monreal and Otamendi/moses/courtouis already in the points, as well as All the TC Sterlings

    still 62 pts before the games today though

  21. camarozz
