Scoutcast and Champions League combine for Tuesday night double-up

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
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kane the best CDM in FPL.

    2. EMBOLOFAN

      highly unlikely

      1. Doctor Evil

        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wrong

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

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

            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.

              • 9 Years

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

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

            3. Brehmeren
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Son is older than Kane.

            4. EMBOLOFAN

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

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Haaland essential

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years

        And some!

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

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

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        They messed it up real bad.

      2. Majestic Chanka

        Was half expecting United to buy him when Ole went there

    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
      • 7 Years

      WTF

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He is fine for weekend...I hope

    3. Fpl Richie

      Liverpool at home. He can be benched

  7. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

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

    Mount replacement hot topic

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      By gawd, that's Barkely's music!

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

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

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

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

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      could be best case scenario, that

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

  12. Don Kloppeone

    Mount ffs!!!

  13. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 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
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Same

  14. Doctor Evil

    how bad was mount injury?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Might lose the leg.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Would still play better than Sanchez

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 6 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
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          could also be 4+ weeks

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Yup, hopefully the latter and off as a precaution

              1. @persecuted_by_mods

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

            1. Chenku╰☆╮
              • 9 Years

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

              Are you serious?

            • 5 Years

            Never seen them drive an ambulance into the field before

        2. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Hurts Abraham badly, especially with Barkley the obvious replacement.

          Time to avoid Chelsea!

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            how many of tammys goal have been assisted by mount?

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                4 years, 6 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)

              • Doctor Evil
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                None

            2. ZeBestee
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months 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
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Haller was poor yesterday imo. Not convinced and rough fixtures

            2. Spab
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

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

          3. Jafoole_88
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

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

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

              Disaster.

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

              Probably. Also maybe Walker CB with Cancelo RB

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

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

            3. Peter Ouch
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Walker and otamendi could be

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

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

            5. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              3 ATB with wing backs

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

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

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

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

          4. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            CHE = Tammy and Mount. Fact.

            ChE less Mount with Tammy on his own 🙁

                • 4 Years

                Tammy carrying the load = disaster.
