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.

    Mount. Mount injured? How long Mount? Mount.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I don't have him.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Not really many replacements at his price other than cough cough Ceballos.

        MCginn or Tielemans best route.

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 23 days ago

          I don't have him either.

            this is the moment your season turns around

    Haland 2 goals

    1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Who is that guy.

      1. MTPockets
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Norwegian superkid, ex Molde. Son of Alf-Inge Haaland. Can't stop scoring

      2. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Son of former Nottingham, Leeds and Man City legend Alfie Haaland

    2. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Norway will be a force to consider with Ødegaard and Haaland

    3. Scoring freely
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I switched him for Martinez at the last minute.

  3. FC Hakkebøf

    Anyone watching Chelsea game? Did Mount injury look bad? Not asking for a doctors point of view....

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      sprained ankle type injury. difficult to tell

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Thanks buddy

    2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      If he’s off in first half most likely misses this weekend

  4. BIind Moth
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Great, just brought Mountain.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Ha ha

    2. tambourineman
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Don't make a Mason Mountain out a Boaz Molehill

  5. Zladan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Hålaaaaandddd (c)

    5% ownership

    Surely very few captained him.

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Less than 5% I reckon.

    2. girthdevon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I did....

      1. Zladan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Good stuff. It seemed a good bet with a sure thing in Lewandowski to replace him with armband tomorrow.

        Much rather take a gamble on day 1 in such circumstances.

        Most would’ve had Messi I imagine.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 23 days ago

          Got Haaland as cap as well.. Not sure if we should keep it on him or Lew tomorrow... ?

          1. Zladan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 23 days ago

            I think we need 1 more goal to be honest.

            I fancy Lew to get 4. Most casuals will have capped Messi and will certainly be switching tomorrow night.

            1. Zladan
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 23 days ago

              Wowwwww there it is! Hatttyyyy

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 23 days ago

                haha amazing!

                1. Zladan
                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 23 days ago

                  For sure keep the captaincy on our man Håland. Let’s hope Lew doesn’t score as many tomorrow.

            2. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 23 days ago

              I am a casual. First time playing, so I have no idea haha

  6. Niho992

    7 years, 23 days ago

    Haaland Captain. His price is 4.5. Amazing.

    1. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Same!

  7. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Champs league can always amount to injuries.

    1. grooveymatt65
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      love it!!!!

  8. grooveymatt65
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 23 days 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 alot guys 🙂

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I have haller with a few weeks. I saw the west ham ast villa game last night. Not really sold on haller.. wilson a better option if you can afford

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Interesting

      Have something similar in mind without WC over next 2 weeks. Difference is no Sterling but a defence and cash for Vardy in week 9.

      It’s a long time to next WC to have no defence - fairly certain you’ll be shifting money back. I’d have at least one 5.5 to avoid the triple transfer there

    3. grooveymatt65
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      ok thanks guys. i reckon haller was just unlucky so am keeping for now

  9. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    I'll tell you what, Tomori ain't half-bad carrying the ball upfield.

  10. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Just got home, how bad does Mount’s injury look?

    Bloody typical

    1. MagicMessi
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Not bad just a knock he'll be fine

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 23 days ago

      not great

    3. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Not great, not terrible

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I'm not a doctor but he tried walking & running on it for a good few minutes after the tackle. Kept stopping to limp, touching the ankle area. Couldn't go on. Those few minutes trying to run on it probably didn't help.

      Don't think it's serious but could be a week or so out. Just wait to presses.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Ahh ok, cheers Hazz. Hope he’s alright

      2. MagicMessi
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Well it's a bruise on the bone he might miss next game but it's not serious..I'm a doctor btw not Orthopedics tho but that's what I think

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Cheers guys, conflicting opinions haha

    6. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      looked bad but not serious, I would say 20% if not less that he will play this wknd.....

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Ahh that’s too bad, cheers bud.

      2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Why would they risk playing him in a game they are super likely to lose. And he went off first half. Just bad luck

  11. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    A) Mount
    B) Mount
    C) Mount

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      None of the above

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Is the CL fantasy game not just another freaking headache seeing players dive all over the show? I have enough time worrying about my FPL squad.

  13. CRO KLOPP
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    I'm ready for some benchmountery

  14. Wag the Drog
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Which side do you prefer?

    a)Wilson-Salah-Zinchenko-VVD-Coleman-Heaton
    b)Kane-Mane-Otamendi-AWB-Dunk-Adrian

  15. Zladan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    I didn’t really want Mount. I was probably going to sell him this week... and then he goes and scores in the last minute v Wolves.

    This forces my hand and means I can use my 2 FT.

    1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Humble brag. Wish I had two FTs

  16. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    I was thinking to sell Mount and get Tammy in also, this could help me decide. Good to have 2 FT.

  17. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Seriously the Scoutcast has gone downhill the last year or so. Really really poor these days.

    1. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Who is this Karam guy?

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Yeah it really is a shame, because I have a lot of respect for the FFS guys and Joe will always be the best 🙂

      Better alternatives tbh 🙁

    3. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I think one of the problems is that David talks 70%+ of the time and hes neither funny nor has the clout based on previous results to make me inclined to listen to what he says. So it just becomes a drone.

      1. schwing
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Is David the posh one that starts or ends everything with a 'Yeah' or 'UM'?

    4. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Fml fpl. Podcasts should be entertaining. Enjoy being better than two people podding lol

  19. Don Kloppeone

    Mount TC this week. V Tempting

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      You mean Mount will need some TLC?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        RLC surely

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 23 days ago

          V good!

      2. Don Kloppeone
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Almost certainly

  20. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Salah and Mane looking dreamy vs CHE.

    1. Niho992
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Haland (C) comee on !!!

  21. Sigurd's Son
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Any chance Aurier keeps his spot over Walker-P?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I bet he does. Aurier looked better than Kane IMO.

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Ozil looks better than Kane !!!

      2. how now brown cow
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        I think Steve Smith looked better than kane too.

    2. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Poch always rotates full backs, none of them nailed imo

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I would be surprised if he lost the spot after the last game. Walker Peters hasn't been great so far from what I've seen.

    4. Berge20
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Aurier not in the CL squad tomorrow, so have to assume he'll be fresh and ready to go for PL action this weekend.

  22. TheTinman

    The FFS boys are on fire. That’s a hat trick. Well done all you clever people
