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.

    Son is spurs main goal scorer from now on. Kane is slow, plays deep, injury prone. Son is going to be fire this season.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Kane the best CDM in FPL.

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years

      highly unlikely

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Wrong

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 day ago

          son scored 24 pl goals last 2 seasons total. kane 47. simple as

            7 years, 1 day ago

            Yeah it’s changing, Kanes losing it. Easy to see if you watch the games. Son is hungry, knows it’s his place to take.

            Why do people always say about stats from over the past 2 years. It’s totally irrelevant in football. Form and age play a massive part.

            1. how now brown cow
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 1 day ago

              Yeah. Better to base your research on a single game.

              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 day ago

              Agree partly but Kane really young! Not even 25!!

            3. Brehmeren
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 1 day ago

              Son is older than Kane.

            4. EMBOLOFAN
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 1 day ago

              age? please elaborate

    Liverpool are so open at the back...................nothing like the same defence of last season.....

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      did you not watch last season napoli away game

        7 years, 1 day ago

  3. pundit of punts

    My 4.5m striker in UCL team who's also my captain has scored.

    1. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Haaland essential

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        And some!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      How on earth is he 4.5?! Anything below 7m is total madness

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        They messed it up real bad.

      2. Majestic Chanka
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Was half expecting United to buy him when Ole went there

        Gonna be really big soon!

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      And Tagliafico just assisted the Ajax goal. Going good so far.

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        I got Tagliafico I went Depay captain nostalgia utd pick

  4. NotsoSpursy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    1.6m itb
    1FT

    a) Kane -> Kun
    b) Kane -> Aub upgrade Ndombele
    c) something else ??

    I'm thinking Ndombele could be worth keeping now back from injury?

    Pope, Button
    VW, Otamendi, Montoya, Rico, Digne
    Salah, Sterling, Ndombele, dendonk, mount
    Kane, Greenwood, Pukki

    Mount injured...

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Looked so uneasy.

  6. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

    mount subbed off with injury

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      WTF

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        didnt look to serious he walked off ok. Could easily be fine for weekend

        1. how now brown cow
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 day ago

          It's possible, but was very nasty tackle. I wouldn't be too sure.

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      He is fine for weekend...I hope

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Liverpool at home. He can be benched

  7. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Was a shocking challenge from Coquelin. Could have broken Mount’s leg. Might be out for a while.

    1. Sim Simma

    Mount replacement hot topic

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      By gawd, that's Barkely's music!

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        (I joke. Mount would be straight back in the XI once he, hopefully quickly, recovers.)

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

    • 11 Years

      • 7 Years

    2. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years

      Have him in fantasy ucl too so need to replace him twice

  10. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Best midfielder for 6.5? 😀

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Not Mount. Lamela ?

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Alli is back....

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years

      Tielemans.

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Try 7.5 = Martial

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        1M short

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      If he is back that quickly. Bit of a twisted ankle it looked like to me.

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      could be best case scenario, that

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Mark said that it was my turn with the crystal ball 🙁

  12. Don Kloppeone
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Mount ffs!!!

  13. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Having done my research for days now I decide that mount must be out of my team. Who's in for him?
    No no no nothing to do with his injury, ha!

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Same

  14. Doctor Evil
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Mount value to drop lol

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      great insight

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years

    225427 transfers in for mount this gw?

  16. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    how bad was mount injury?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Might lose the leg.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Would still play better than Sanchez

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      7 years, 1 day ago

      This, if it's just a twisted ankle could even be back by the weekend depending on how bad it was

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        could also be 4+ weeks

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          7 years, 1 day ago

          Yup, hopefully the latter and off as a precaution

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
            7 years, 1 day ago

            Former*

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Bad tackle on his ankle, looked to have rolled it a bit. Tried to hobble on but couldn't.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        damn... hopefully news at the end would be useful.

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Helicopter pilot looked worried

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Are you serious?

    5. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Never seen them drive an ambulance into the field before

  17. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    Hurts Abraham badly, especially with Barkley the obvious replacement.

    Time to avoid Chelsea!

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      how many of tammys goal have been assisted by mount?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Don't need to be directly assisted, mount seems a good player works hard, makes runs, gives the opposition something to think about. There was maybe a couple of moves that involved him that got Abraham.a goal but didn't count as assists for whatever reason (defender touched it etc)

      2. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        None

    2. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Chelsea playing well as a team, Mount is an excellent talent but Abraham should do well even without him.

    Hi guys!

    What are your thoughts on this wildcard team?

    i tried to keep double city because of fixtures but also wanted Son. Only regret is not having Aubameyang. Also im punting on Aurier and if he doesn't play i atleast have some back up.

    Pope Button

    Aurier Pieters Soyuncu Lundstrum Diop

    Son Sterling Mane De Bruyne Chong

    Haller Abraham Pukki

    0.0 itb

    thanks guys!!! 🙂

    1. Madderegern
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Haller was poor yesterday imo. Not convinced and rough fixtures

    2. Spab
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      You might as well not bother playing a defence. Looks great up top!

  19. Jafoole_88
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    how do City line up at the back with Stones injured? fernandinho and Otamendi?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Disaster.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Probably. Also maybe Walker CB with Cancelo RB

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Walker at CB is what even a 4.4 striker wants to see.

    3. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Walker and otamendi could be

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      They won't bother....will play 2 at the back and throw Mahrez upfront and simply outscore whoever they play

    5. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      3 ATB with wing backs

    6. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      Most likely. Walker could play centre back too if needed.

    7. The Big Fella
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      I think so. I'd like to see him play with an academy player though.

  20. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 day ago

    CHE = Tammy and Mount. Fact.

    ChE less Mount with Tammy on his own 🙁

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      luckily, CHO is back

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 day ago

      in fpl yeah, in real life no

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Tammy carrying the load = disaster.

  21. OverTinker

      1. Bartowski
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 day ago

        Just between you and me....Djenepo.

    3. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
