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.

    Absolute car crash of a season just topped off with a sterling (tc) no show. Disgusting

      Looool

      Alonso goal tonight to really top it off!

        Yeah that would send me over the edge

    This is awesome 😆
    Bemba, Berbinho, Epic Fail, Jafooli and others are smashing it!

    Kane or Jesus captain tonight in Sky Sports Fantasy?

      Jesus.

    Where are the proponents of the DGW37 BB right now?

    1. Fantastisk

      WHERE IS YOUR GOD

      Hiding, like myself.

      Quite happy with my 19 plus Dummett, Ogbonna & Kenedy 🙂

      It's always the same. People spout off about the best approach to using the chips as though picking a premium player with 2 games is a guaranteed source of points.

      I think we've become a little bit spoilt with Sanchez and Aguero's previous hauls.

    "Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has had a hand in 12 goals in 11 #PL appearances for @Arsenal (8 goals, 4 assists) #LEIARS"

    There is only one person in the top 50 with Auba captain and they're 3rd currently! Have Azpi, Alonso, Vert, Eriksen, Willian, Kane tonight too!

      I hope he(?) wins the lot. Fortune favours the brave.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

      This was gutsy !

    3. I Member

      Looking forward to having him in my GW1 team next season instead of the troll known as Harry Kane.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Kept instead of getting Kane. So far so good 🙂

  6. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years

    Ha, have McArthur sat on my bench with more points than my DGW captain!

  7. Scotty B
    • 13 Years

    I think I might have a 'FOSTERS' watching the match.

    Got to be worth 10 pints, I mean points 🙂

    which game are you guys watching tonight?

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

      Juve v Milan. Coppa Italia final

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

      All of them probably.

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Avoiding. Sterling TC

    4. Kenneth Tang
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I recommend you not to watch PL games tonight if you are not captaining Kane, Jesus or Auba. Sterling TCers better switch off all the media as well, come back two hours later, and face the reality.

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

      Juve Milan

  9. DAZZ
    • 11 Years

    Tough to watch Coronation Street tonight. Depression and mental health in men has to be spoke about more.

    1. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Just wait on here until Kane blanks again tonight....

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

      I'd think Coronation Street is one of the causes

      Not actually joking

  10. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Tonight is a big night for me for FPL Mini league and being a Milan fan

    Will end in tears no doubt on both counts

    Good luck all

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

    Really think both willian and Alonso will get double digit hauls today.Did'nt have the balls to sell Salah or else could have held on to both this week. Hope Alonso doesn't pain me

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

      Selling Alonso gw36 was such a big mistake !!

      1. Kenneth Tang
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It's true now, but back at GW36, it was a good decision. No one expect Chelsea win twice and Pool and Spurs not win twice. Even before GW37 deadline, Alonso had very high chance to play vs Pool and then rotated tonight (if Chelsea could not beat Pool, this game becomes meaningless)

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

    4 minutes until first kick off

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      1 min

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

    Early thoughts for the final gw:

    A: Alonso + Pogba
    B: Cedric (vs. city) + Sterling

    Need to decide who to upgrade between pogba and sterling for salah

  14. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling is actually startimg, but the fake news media won't report it because that LOOSER Obama has him in his team. Sad!!

    1. Futile Tinkering
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He is a bad bad man. In a bigly way.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      LOOSER Obama vs TIGHTER Trump

      1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I was born in Chesterfield. We dont always do grammer! 😉

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          How very dare you!

          Right. I'm off t'pub...

  15. FFSbet.com

    Do we think Jesus starts GW38?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      yep.

    2. Kenneth Tang
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I think Jesus is highly likely to be benched next (I am a Jesus owner TCing now)

  16. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    All the best guys! This is it...Last DGW of the season. Chasing 60 pts so hoping big scores from Kane, Willian, Eriksen, Vert and Jesus.

  17. RED PILL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Come on Huddersfield.

  18. DV8R

    Messi GOAL

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      goal mouth scramble?

  19. ritzyd
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    My Man City Ederson, Sterling, De Brunye triple up for the DGW has worked a treat . . . .

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      ouchy

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

    Maguire dead

  21. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    37 GWs & i TC sterling!
    My past history also includes
    TC carroll & ozil (the year sanchez smashed it)

    This cheap is wasted on me

  22. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Remember Sterling TC-ers, we did it because he was the most in form player with the best fixtures. No one knew for sure that he would be rested. If he'd pulled in 20+ points everyone would have been bemoaning NOT captaining him.

    Anyway, I'm off to get my affairs in order. Has anyone seen my whisky and old service revolver?

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

      And definitely nailed on......whoops

      1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Never thought that. Just went with the high rollers!

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Come on Uddersfield, Wipe those Alonso,Azpi clean-sheets

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

      C'mon Depoitre!

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

    Alonso looking really dangerous already.. shouldn't have sold him

  25. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    There are more Danish players (4) than English players (2) in the Chelsea vs Huddersfield match

  26. SuperMane Returns

    I am Groot

  27. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Willian always looked dangerous but sadly lacking in end product.

  28. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Rudy misses a sitter.

  29. Ógie

    Zero players in the TV game i hate that especially on the DGW. 🙁
