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
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Kane the best CDM in FPL.

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      highly unlikely

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Wrong

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

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

          1. Doctor Evil
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 10 months 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
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

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

            2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

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

            3. Brehmeren
              • 16 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

              Son is older than Kane.

            4. EMBOLOFAN
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

              age? please elaborate

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

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      did you not watch last season napoli away game

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Mate, I can't remember the game from last night, let alone last season......

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      CL different animal to EPL.

  3. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Haaland essential

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        And some!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        They messed it up real bad.

      2. Majestic Chanka
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Was half expecting United to buy him when Ole went there

        Gonna be really big soon!

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I got Tagliafico I went Depay captain nostalgia utd pick

  4. NotsoSpursy
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months 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

  5. Kuzser

    Mount injured...

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Looked so uneasy.

  6. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    mount subbed off with injury

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      WTF

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      He is fine for weekend...I hope

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Liverpool at home. He can be benched

  7. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 10 months 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
      6 years, 10 months ago

      By gawd, that's Barkely's music!

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

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

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Haha

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years

    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Tammy to the rescue 🙁

    2. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

  10. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Best midfielder for 6.5? 😀

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Not Mount. Lamela ?

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Alli is back....

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Tielemans.

    3. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Try 7.5 = Martial

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        1M short

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months 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
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Mount ffs!!!

  13. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months 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
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Same

  14. Doctor Evil
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Mount value to drop lol

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      great insight

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 7 Years

        Thanks

  15. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    225427 transfers in for mount this gw?

  16. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    how bad was mount injury?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Might lose the leg.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Would still play better than Sanchez

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        could also be 4+ weeks

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Yup, hopefully the latter and off as a precaution

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Former*

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

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

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Helicopter pilot looked worried

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Are you serious?

    5. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Never seen them drive an ambulance into the field before

  17. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Hurts Abraham badly, especially with Barkley the obvious replacement.

    Time to avoid Chelsea!

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      how many of tammys goal have been assisted by mount?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 10 months 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
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        None

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    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
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Haller was poor yesterday imo. Not convinced and rough fixtures

    2. Spab
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

  19. Jafoole_88
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Disaster.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Probably. Also maybe Walker CB with Cancelo RB

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Walker and otamendi could be

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      3 ATB with wing backs

    6. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

    7. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

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

  20. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    CHE = Tammy and Mount. Fact.

    ChE less Mount with Tammy on his own 🙁

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      luckily, CHO is back

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      in fpl yeah, in real life no

    3. Scholes Out For Summer

      what is this comment even...

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Tammy carrying the load = disaster.

  21. OverTinker

    Knew Lanzini would be the better pick

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I replaced Lanzini with mount. Now will have to buy him by paying more

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Trent brilliant on the cover twice 😮

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years

  25. Manani
    • 14 Years

  26. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Tielemans i guess

  27. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Who should i replace mount with?

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Just between you and me....Djenepo.

    3. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I am one of those so I don't care - Now tell me how bad it is? 😀
