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.

    If you want a price rise. I'm holding out. Haller isn't suddenly a bad player and I won't get those 7 goals by switching now.

    I might have changed my mind by the weekend.

    Dendoncker's impending fall to 4.4 looks ideal for those returning to a classic 3-4-3. Cantwell becomes a fourth mid or Dendo saves a precious .5

        Then it is a no brainer to keep in those circumstances. Those of us switching from 3-5-2 to say 3-4-3 will perhaps go for Dendo

          Tbh expect more 2 pointers from Cantwell than not.

            Well he was the first casualty in an all out attacking front 7 with Cantwell as sub. Something had to give sadly. Hope he doesn't do a Capoue of three years ago.

          I'm selling Cantwell to Dendoncker if he drops to 4.4m. I've never played Cantwell so the 0.3m will be nice.

    Haller, Salah & Soy -> Auba, Son & Rico for - 4?

    Have TTA, Digne, Zinchenko and Lundstram for defence. Also got Sterling for Auba captaincy rotation.

      Selling haller and salah as part of a -4 is madness in my opinion (it seems extreme to have no Liverpool attack)

        You're probably right. It just seems bonkus to not have Auba for the following months and sure, Salah will score but the fixtures are getting much tougher so will probably not be on pair with Auba. First World problem.

    *Wesley has to go. Seen him a few times now and I doubt he’ll score double figures this season. Double pool defence is not paying off. Barnes is the logical replacement for Wesley, which leaves me 4.7 for a defender.

    A) Pieters
    B) soy
    C) Mings (not keen on AV double up)

      Just seems wrong everytime I look at it.

      The only way I can cope is run a tight watchlist and on a more practical level, remind myself that Mane is only one transfer away and Kun/Auba are two.
