Scoutcast and Champions League combine for Tuesday night double-up

Joe is joined by David and Karam for the latest episode of the Scoutcast tonight.

You can watch it on our YouTube channel from 8pm BST to 9pm BST.

This episode overlaps with the return of European football to our screens.

Liverpool and Chelsea take on Napoli and Valencia respectively as the Champions League group stages get underway on Tuesday night.

We will have Scout Notes on those matches on Wednesday, but for now, there’s a brand new episode of the Scoutcast to occupy your attention.

On tonight’s agenda are the best cheap defenders now that the premium ones have frustrated their owners.

We’ll also discuss how best to cover Manchester City in the wake of their surprise defeat at Norwich.

Finally, we’ll debate how to recover from a poor start to the season as many managers have endured a tough few weeks.

    Anyone think that Mane could outscore Salah? At least for the forseeable?

    Salah's on corners and pens of course

      He has last two.
      Might get both soon instead.

      1. Ser Davos

        I think both is the way to go long term. Covers clean sheets a bit too.

        If Sterling flops then a straight swap to Mane is inevitable and all three can be accomodated if both KDB and Son are dropped.

        This is why I'm staying away from the premium strikers.

        is it not a bad time to be getting Liv players TM ?

        tough run coming up...

        was thinking of dropping mane to allow Aubamayng...

        Have Son KDB Sterling in midfield .....

          Chelsea next doesn't sound bad. Even United managed 4.

          1. Ser Davos
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            True indeed

            Hopefully, tomorrow's games will provide more clarity

    2. F4L

      get both, captain Salah away, Mane at home. Sorted.

      Over the season, Salah will pull away from Mane in my opinion due to pens and set pieces like you say

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Gah, you're right, but I can't look away from the value of KDB and/or Son

        1. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mane Cantwell 3-5-2

          or

          KDB Wilson 3-4-3

    3. MTPockets
        4 years, 6 months ago

        No but for 1m less could still be better value

      • Spacemonkey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Last season Mane was better than Salah in 12 GWs and vice versa was a case in 17 occasions.

        1. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Excellent stat. Of course last season there was a big price discrepancy (going for Firmino over Mane killed my early season along with King over a cheaper Wilson) that is now just .9.

          1. Ser Davos
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Salah got rested for Burnley Turf Moor and then just exploded into life iirc

    4. Spacemonkey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      What are the odds that Sterling or De Bruyne gets injured tomorrow?
      (Or base odds player picking up injury in a match?)

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Oh, dear

      2. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        hopefully Sterling will be benched anyways

      3. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        What daft scenarios to ask for odds about.

      4. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Probably quite low. Injuries are quite rare really.

        1. Spacemonkey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I have the same impression. Heartless question, but relevant and quantifiable IMHO.

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Which of my defenders would you transfer out, if any, and who would you bring in? Not seeing any good options really! Possibly remove a Liverpool defender. VVD to Mings, Aurier, Tomori or Söyüncü perhaps?

      TAA VVD Digne Diop Rico

      1. Rocky FPL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I like VVD to Soyuncu for long term.

    6. Camzy

      I'll be surprised if Mount is fit this weekend. Obviously too early to tell but from watching, it looks like a 2-4 weeker

      1. Firmino
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        So who do we get in?

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        2-4 weeks?!!

      3. sovietrockettes
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        No chance Mount plays after that until match against Brighton at home

    7. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Salah, Mount, Haller to Son, Zaha, Aubameyang for -4?

      1. KNOW IT ALL
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        ok

      2. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        not if Auba starts playing EL

          hes played every game

      3. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        its seemingly looking like Son or no one from Spurs' attack

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          got him already.... Lamela 2 goals and 2 assists in 5 games ...

      4. Yank Revolution

        Poch's amigo

      5. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I should say Iv got Son already... looking at downgrading Mane to allow Aubamayang in upfront...

      6. Greasy Grealish Gang

        Good shout. Was wondering about him myself.

        It would be boring if we all had the same answer.

        Would make your choice easier but would then also make it very similar to everyone else potentially

        • Has Moderation Rights

        F) Wildcard

        A maybe otherwise.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Hahaha, I can't now. Too late 🙂

            Deadline is Friday.
            You'd rather a red arrow that fixing that mess?
            If you really want to save the WC until IB, I'd think about a -8

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              True. Getting rid of the 8 I mentioned below?

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                I'd get rid of 3 not 8 for a -8.
                Wesley is the obvious one given the options available.

                1. Tsparkes10
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Cheers. Wesley, VVD, Greenwood could become Tammy, Rico/Lund and Barnes. Hmm

              2. Tsparkes10
                • 5 Years

                4*

      3. thepeen555
        • 7 Years

        But C imo

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yhh true, cheers mate.

      4. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It really needs 4 changes.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Ceballos, VVD, Montoya and Wesley?

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Don't fall further behind . WC is the way to sort it.

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Giving Sterling and Salah one more week. I'd get rid of both on a WC. Will bring in Vardy and Son next week when fixtures are better

              1. George Sillett
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                No way I would get rid of Sterling and only consider Salah to Mane. You're talking about bringing in players who won't match the 2 you want to get rid of.
                Ceballos, Wesley , VVD , Montoya need dumping imo.

                1. Tsparkes10
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Don't think that justifies a wildcard tbh. Ceballos I'm fine with for 1 more week unless he starts in Europa. VVD can downgrade and free up a Wesley upgrade easy. Montoya to someone not worth a - 4 probs

                  1. George Sillett
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    You're just going to fall further behind imo .

                2. Twisted Saltergater
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Ceballos isn’t urgent with Villa at home next. Emery may stumble on the winning team and formation. If he doesn’t, then Wesley could benefit - they were so bad vs Watford.
                  VVD is never a bad pick but the double up may be too much.
                  Montoya has Newcastle if he’s over his tonsillitis.

                  Wildcard next GW imo

      5. MTPockets
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Ceballos to someone

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years

            Fancy him against villa tbh.

            1. MTPockets

                Agree. If he gets the minutes

            Probably A

              • 5 Years

            Should Mount be ruled out for more than a week, what do fellow owners plan on doing?

            I’d lose a fair chunk of money if I sold. WC still available, though.

              Buy him at the selling price?

                What you on about??

                If I sold and then wanted to buy back later I’d have to pay a good 0.3 or something more than I originally did, and 0.2 over what I could sell for now.

            Barnes & Soy -> Abraham & Rico a no brainer?

            Would leave me with 0.1mitb. Ideally I'd like to play Barnes this weekens but doubt I can survive waiting due to upcoming price raises.

              Lloyd Kelly played in a friendly. Rico is a trap. Barnes stats still good & Leicester stats good defensively.

              Abraham up with a tough fixture.

              No from me, which probably means it'll pay off at this rate.

                • 9 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah I wouldn't really be playing Rico. I got TAA, Digne, Zinchenko and Lundstram.

                you think Rico wont play ? whos his main threat? they are injured with no return date at present no ?

                Don't really want to but not having Abraham seems silly at this point, after next gw anyway. The problem is that I already have Pukki and Haller as well...

            3. tucaoneo
              • 5 Years

              Soy could be useful in some matches. If you really want to fund Abraham I would ditch Zinchenko given the whole City mess.

                • 9 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah I got Soy in to begin with to cover the abseloute worst Everton matches upcoming so that's a valid point. Will consider swapping Zinchenko out after next gw if I need funds.

                  Massive changes. If you think they beat the current lot then go for it.

                  1. School of Poch
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    That's the problem - I don't know what I think. I have my doubts still as losing the likes of Salah and Sterling is a big risk. What would you do?

                    1. TorresMagic™
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                      My team is like your current one but with Aguero. Could switch to the other one soon.
                      Tomorrow may give you the answer.

                      1. School of Poch
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        I think it's not having a premium striker that's getting me - if I had Aguero or Auba with that team I'd be happier but can't find a route with FT (you seem to have gained a lot of Team value quickly) I'm currently on a 101.7

                        1. Salah’s Sonnet
                          • 12 Years
                          4 years, 6 months ago

                          Don't let not having a premium forward get to you, plenty of budget forwards matching them if not doing better.

                          1. School of Poch
                            • 8 Years
                            4 years, 6 months ago

                            Thanks I'll stick for now then! There's obviously a good reason for the doubt - team isn't awful atm

                2. Salah’s Sonnet
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  What if Sterling starts firing?

                  1. School of Poch
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    That's one of the things I'm worried about that's keeping me from making the move - do you think the current team is good enough to wait it out or will the likes of Auba/Son etc. make the move worth it?

                    1. Salah’s Sonnet
                      • 12 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      I think your current team is worth riding for al ittle longer, just to see really if things have set a trend or if things improve. Personally i'd be a bit worried about Auba's service without Lacazette and Pepe looks a bit lost. Son, he's had one good game, against a dier Palace side, need to see mroe from him imo.

                      1. School of Poch
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        Yeah I think you could be right! No matter what decision I make the opposite will end up having been the best anyways. Always the way!
                        Here is a potential WC draft with Sterling in the side -
                        Pope/Button
                        Digne/Aurier/Tomori/Lund/Rico
                        Sterling/Mane/Son/Cantwell/Hayden
                        Auba/Abraham/Pukki
                        Could still wait it out on that and just hope that I'm not priced out

            2. AllINeedIsCoffee
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Could go Abraham Cantwell over Mount James. Mount uncertain right now and Cantwell good value.

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                I'd be making both of those changes on the WC... considering the team below

                Pope/Button
                TAA/Digne/Tomori/Lund/Rico
                Mane/KDB/Son/Cantwell/Hayden
                Auba/Abraham/Pukki

            So based on tonight’s events I obviously took a well advised -8 to move Mount and Virgil out. Always best to do these things before any news so that we beat the price changes.

            What move shall I make next? I feel so alive!

            4th def + 5th def + 5th mid (0.0 ITB, got Cantwell and Soyuncu already)

            One of these has to play every week since my 3rd forward is Greenwood.

            KEEP: Boly 5.0 + Kelly 4.0 + Ceballos 5.6 = 14.6M
            B: Kiko Femenia 4.4 + Lundstram 4.3 + Iwobi 5.9 = 14.6M
            C: Tomori 4.5 + Bednarek 4.5 + Ceballos/McGinn 5.6 = 14.6M
            D: Otamendi 5.4 + Lundstram 4.3 + Cleverley/March 4.9 = 14.6M
            E: Kiko Femenia 4.4 + Rico/Kelly 4.0 + James 6.2 = 14.6M
            F: Sokratis/Aurier 5.0/4.9 + Rico/Kelly 4.0 + McGinn/Ceballos 5.6 = 14.6/14.5M

              Aurier i guess will be rotated, not a fan of the defence, but good attack

              1. PUKKIPARTY
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Maybe wiser after tomorrow. But I have kind of good backups after next GW If he gets rotated...

            2. @fpl_phenom
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              its not bad you know ....

              I kind of like Tomori even though chelsea dont look great defensively... the fixtures are class! like they surely keep out some of those teams... will he definitely keep his place ? how long is rudiger out for ?

              1. PUKKIPARTY
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Thats what I was thinking as well. Chelsea have played vs good attacking teams and their fixtures are juicy. I think Tomori is ahead of Christensen and Zouma atm. And if they play with 3 CBs, Tomori is super safe starter imo

            3. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years

                • 4 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah maybe for the next GW. But I have 0,0 ITB.. could downgrade Aurier for him. Maybe after tomorrow, lets see

                1. Twisted Saltergater
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  No, keep Aurier. Him and Rose haven’t travelled with the squad for the CL game.

                    Oh!! thats very big news for Aurier! if he keeps getting the prem matches, hes ideal!

                      “... thats very big news for Aurier! if he keeps getting the prem matches ...”. Doubtful, Poch doesn’t rotate like that.

            Mount injury has removed the dilemma of benching Cantwell this week 🙂

            Kinda hope he’s out for the Liverpool game only when you consider Chelsea’s fixture run.

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah. Hope he’s fit for this GW or the next one, will likely be forced to sell otherwise.

              Would you have Lundstram first on the bench rather than Rico??

              he is going to make room for aguero as sterling is getting a transfer out also.

              But then Barnes after next week could make his way out for tammy.

                Sticking for sure and getting Abraham as well.

              not having Aubamayang seems crazy looking at these fixtures .....

                4 years, 6 months ago

                especially with Lacazette sidelined....

                Is it worth losing mane though ?

                Can’t have em all. Others like Sterling will start firing again and then people will scramble to get him back.

                Plus he burned me so hard when Arsenal had excellent fixtures last Christmas. So it go.

                  Laczette's back in Oct though, so not as crazy. I hope

                    I keep wanting him ... keep putting it off and he keeps scoring... feels like costa a few years back.... waiting on that damn 5th yellow!!

                        I'd need to sell Aguero but retrospectively he seemed the obvious transfer in. Wish I'd kept up on that news

                    Mount is the main issue.

                      very true... hope its not too bad

                      do you have him?

                  WC team. Ditched the heavy defence for strong attack. Worth a shot?
