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.

    Blo*dy Napoli always a thorn in our sides. Diving scumbags

    1. Zladan

      4 years, 7 months ago

      No diving about that second goal. Just poor from VVD.

      Can I be somewhat creepy and ask for a link to your team?

        1. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Thank you!

          2. Ser Davos
            • 8 Years

            Kun captaincy with Tammy is making a world of difference since WCing. Fantastic start!

  10. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    VVD assist there surely 🙂

  11. Rainer

    Thanks for the memories, Jurgen. It’s time to go!

  12. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years

    Awful from VVD

  13. MITHRRANDIRR
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Nice assist from VVD.

  14. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    Klopp out?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      hes had enough time... he has to go now surely

  15. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    Blimey Liverpool need 2 now to get a point

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Good maths.

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

        quick math

  16. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    VVD is a poor man’s Maguire.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dougal Maguire that is.

  17. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Lodi a starter for Athletico Madrid?

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

      Yep

  18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    All joking aside, Allison was worth every penny of his fee and more, they’re not the same without him

    1. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      They were definitely creeking prior to his injury

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He only played 39 competitive minutes prior to his injury and didn’t concede

    2. diesel001

      GKs are underrated in football IMO. A commanding GK makes a massive difference to the defence, moreso than a full back.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yep way more important - VVD needs Allison behind him to get back to that imperious level

        With an average keeper behind him he (or any centre back) is immediately on the back foot

  19. Rainer

    Trent far and away Liverpool’s best defender tonight.

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      shows how poor they have been

  20. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Looking forward to seeing Juventus tomorrow. Don't think they will be as good under Sarri so it will be an interesting watch.

  21. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Lol, conceding to Llorento. Im removing Trent too, no more Liverpool defense for me.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’ll tough it out till Becker gets back

      He’ll put manners in them again

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Spurs worth a look for defenders? its slim picking isnt it

  22. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Salah blank
    Mane blank
    TAA blank
    Robertson blank

    Good value.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Happy if Mo and Matip stay injury free. Great if they focus on the league.

    Lampard, get your shite together and appoint a penalty taker for good!
    Barkley, what an arrogant player he is, he does not deserve to play again after this.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why on earth didn't Abraham take it? He's a pen taker. Took them regularly for the Villa.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Why didnt Jorginho take it? Lampard seems very English biased

      2. chinmusic
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Tammy isn’t very good at them

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      well azpil should enforce these things, if he isnt then he needs to question why he has the arm band in the first place

  24. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Abraham's stock just went up and that Pool defence is no go... even Trent imo

  25. FOMFF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kane or Auba for next 6?

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Auba

  26. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Interesting fact Haland was born in Leeds. Does that mean he can play for England haha

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No, hes not eligible. Hes ours 😉

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Made an appearance for Norway already unfortunately

      Alf-Inge’s boy I believe

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      How much did you bet?

    Thoughts on my WC team? (0.0 ib)

    Pope
    Trent Digne Aurier
    Sterling Mane De Bruyne Cantwell
    Wilson Abraham Pukki
    Bench: Button, Söyüncü, Lundstram, Dendonker

      7.5

    With two Liverpool defenders, a -4 and now injured Mount I think I’ll hit that Wildcard.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Good call

    Goodness, Liverpool.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No shock result there. Napoli at 2/1 odds was a gift.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Wheres your post from before the match stating this?
