Joe is joined by Karam and Tom from Who Got the Assist? for the latest episode of the Scoutcast tonight.

You can watch it on our YouTube channel from 8pm BST to 9pm BST.

As the Champions League is back on our screens, this episode will overlap with the European action and we will try to bring you regular updates from Manchester City and Tottenham’s matches.

Episode 303 marks a slight changing of the guard when it comes to the captaincy.

After a rotation of Liveprool and Manchester City players in the early rounds of the season, Arsenal are starting to creep into the equation some more.

What impact this should have on our transfers and armband decisions will be the task of Joe, Karam and Tom tonight.

After some impressive statistics in recent weeks, Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) commands some of our time as we discuss if he’s worth signing.

There will also be time to have a weekly look at how defenders are getting on at both ends of the spectrum as well as the success of assets from newly-promoted teams.

Lessons Learned from Gameweek 7

      I imagine the line up will be:

      Sterling Aguero Bilva
      Dilva Rodri Gundogan

      Mahrez turn to rest. KDB injured.

    As a spurs fan, I have no idea what has happened to be honest. I used to think it’s just Levy and the players but has Poch run out of ideas? That high press, high energy and superior fitness seems to have gone and we have zero creativity. There are enough players there to make things happen but I just don’t know what is next...

      I own Aguero and hate to say this but if he starts on Sunday v Wolves why not bring Jesus on earlier rather than 89mins.

      Seriously thinking to go Aguero to Aubameyang with my FT

      Performances vs Watford & Norwich and another blank tonight might be of more concern to Pep than his minutes.

      Nice! You should have one of highest scores tonight. 75 with 3 to play well done.

      That’s 34 points more than me (7 to play).

      How many points did you have last week?

      It isn't on/off. Less injury prone than Lanzini or Ings, but more injury prone than Doherty or Dilva.
