Scoutcast Episode 292 – Hindsight

The captain hindsight brigade was out in full force this week to bash the Scoutcasters – among others – for recommending Brighton defender Shane Duffy for the Gameweek 34 armband.

With goal threat and two home games against Bournemouth and Cardiff, it seemed a good call. But with seven goals conceded without reply over this pair of games, reality had other ideas.

Az, Joe and their guest Adam Hopcroft take stock of a less-than-inspiring Double Gameweek, with no regrets about their armband blunder.

For Az and Adam, captaining a player with two fixtures over one had merit, especially in a week with no standout captain elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Joe was looking for another Stephane Sessegnon moment. This refers to the “VE Day”-style celebrations among the Fantasy community back in 2012, when the similarly unlikely Double Gameweek armbandee rifled in an injury-time goal against Reading for Sunderland in the Black Cats’ second match that week. It was so memorable that, almost seven years on, Az even remembers who got the assist during that magical moment.

Aside from assessing their newly deployed Wildcards, the crew also take stock of the community’s questions. The fallout from Troy Deeney’s red card and Mohamed Salah’s return to goalscoring form are among the issues covered.

Coping with rotation among the ranks of Manchester City and Spurs also gets an airing.

The Scoutcast’s latest talking point draws inspiration from the top managers this season, to find out what lessons we can learn from them and what it takes to gain an elite-level overall rank.

The community’s roughest and smoothest moves are looked at, including one of the most shambolic Wildcards of all time.

The crew finish off with a detailed look at their Gameweek 35 clean sheet predictions, differential tips, captaincy calls and transfer plans.

      Anyone in this game fancy defending? You know, stopping the other tean from scoring and all that.

      1. Rainer

        Both must have been watching Brighton last night.

        Laporte is assisting Spurs...

    • Make Arrows Green Again

      What.a.game.

    • diesel001

      This is why Son was benched on Saturday.

    • Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Both sets of players will be battered and bruised after this encounter. Not sure how many will make it till Saturday morning

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Feel City players will find it harder to recover for the weekend after that

    • Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      The City wide players are literally on the touchline in the build up. They only come inside at the last minute, which means they're always unmarked.

    • Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

      on my WC I have Sterling, Son, Eriksen and bilva. All set to haul today only for them to blank in the league. Oh ffs

    • WVA
      • 7 Years

      Cannot believe I'm working
