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.

    I heard Jamie Jackson predicted this Mount injury

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      I heard Jamie Jackson is the FPL bogeyman.

        The bogeyest of bogeymen

    What about Mount?

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

      Unless you have him as your 3rd or 4th mid, get rid.

    Mount to Iwobi.

        SHU (h) seems a nice punt. 5.9m can’t go too wrong.

      WC draft , any good?

      Pope
      TAA Aurier Digne
      Mane Sterling KDB Cantwell
      Wilson Abraham Pukki

      1. Twisted Saltergater

        Norwich won't be playing Man City every week.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          It is actually a 4-3-3 mate but Cantwell plays this week

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Actually he is good cover for one of the defenders to.

      2. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        decent

      Hi guys!

      What are your thoughts on this wildcard team please?

      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 🙂 🙂

    9. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Did something happen to Mason Mount?

      1. SB007
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He can't mountain his momentum now

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years

          sweet jesus

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I cant think of any more Mount puns :/

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

        Vaseline included.

      3. Don Kloppeone

        C+ keep up the effort

    11. dshv
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      So what now? How it looks like. Mount will miss only this week or more ?

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Please refrain from these idiotic questions... Nobody on here knows anything yet.

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

        Martial has missed how many? Hold onto him if you like.

      3. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        looked like a metatarsel from the commentary section on flashscore

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          if that's the case then it's probably 6 weeks. I broke one may centuries ago and I was out for 2 months.

    12. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Get used to reading the word Mount over the next few days

      My eyes hurt already 🙂

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This. Come on, guys, it's simply moronic asking 18 times per page whether he will be back this weekend.

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Will mount be back this weekend?

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I wouldnt mount on it

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

              Nice!

    13. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm I losing my mind I'm thinking I might just bring in Ozil I have sneaky feeling. Same feeling when got in Pukki for his hatty and Mount GW2

      1. SB007
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        oh deary me

        1. Ange Ball
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Remember my name on the weekend when he does well

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        its probably just gas

    14. dfroes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Gunn (Button)
      Soyuncu TAA Dunk (Kelly, Lundstram)
      Iwobi Mane Son Sterling Cantwell
      Pukki Auba (Greenwood)

      Have 2 FT.

      Thinking of doing Iwobi and Greenwood to Cleverley and Abraham.

      Thoughts?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Cleverley?

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

          7 shots against Arsenal, n10 role and only 4.9

      2. LC1
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        V nice team!

    15. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He’s home from 3 blue arrows on fplstats to one in the last 25 minutes. Triple red by the end of the game?

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

        By 11pm

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years

        Fake news

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

      Tagliafico goal + assist

      Lovely stuff

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

        And Ziyech assist.

        Both in my team. This is dreamy stuff after the Haland hatty 😀

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Exact same as me.

          TAA and Vlad also holding down the clean sheets.

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

            Vlad in there as well.

            No TAA. Need something from Mane, Messi and Pizzi now.

            1. Zladan
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Just Sensi 5 pointer, Mane and Martinez blanks for me today - both of whom I switch for Mahrez and KDB tomorrow (maybe Lodi).

        Tagliarifico!

      3. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nice pointage.

    17. mdm
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      On WC:

      Pope 4.0
      Otamendi AMN Tomori (Lund Rico)
      Salah Sterling Son Cantwell (4.5)
      Auba Pukki Tammy

      Any suggestions how to improve it? Thanks

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

        No Ota on WC to be frank.

      2. SB007
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Fine as is! - maybe Salah out and KDB or Mane in and get a premium Liv defender

    18. Freaki
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone watching Barca v Bvb Ter Stegen clearly off his line when pen was taken, var having a sleep I see

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

        Same for literally every pemalty ever taken

      2. tutankamun
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        VAR not used for that offence. Was seen as being ‘over-officious’ after Scotland’s Women team were penalised for a marginal foul.

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

          Was used gw1 against West Ham when Aguero got another go after missing the first.

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Its used differently depending on the league/competition its in.

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

      Tagliafico on 16 points. 😯

      1. Konig Luther
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        doing his job as usual

      2. tutankamun
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Should have captained him

    20. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It couldn’t have been Abraham? 😆

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

        Fraid not

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Frayed knot

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

            🙂

    21. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      okay...so if Mount turns out to be seriously injured, I just might use my Wildcard. Thoughts on this:

      Pope Button
      TAA Digne Lundstram Rico Tomori
      Buendia Cantwell Salah Sterling James
      Auba Pukki Abraham

      It's a benching headache, right?

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Triple Norwich too much i think

      2. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nice team

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

      When is Emerson coming back? Lampard changed formation to basically accomodate Goalonso it seems.

    23. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Lol, UCL team hasn’t even had everyone play yet but beating my FPL team on points based on last 2 week scores

    24. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why in the USA is Turner network showing Liverpool/Napoli game on both of their channels? Why isn't a rested Pulisic playing?

    25. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sancho over Reus going well.

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

        Points for winning pens in FUCL?

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

          Yes even if it doesn't go in

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

            Way it should be!

        2. Konig Luther
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          yes. 2pts or 3pts

    26. Viper
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is the UCL fantasy game the same point system as FPL?

      Not playing, just curious

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        A few differences and a better system imo.

        Couple of notable diffs:
        3 ball recoveries = 1 point.
        Goal outside box = extra point.
        Winning a pen = points

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

        Recovered balls.

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

      Messi, Mane and Pizzi letting me down.

    28. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Mount to Ozil?

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Would rather go Hayden

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

        Would rather not

    29. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pope
      VVD Digne Zinchenko
      Sterling KDB Mane Son Cantwell
      Barnes Pukki
      -----------------------------------------
      Button Montoya Greenwood Lundstram

      what would you do with 2 FT's? no money in the bank...

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

        Probably get zinch out. I like the look of Aurier, not 100% convinced on game time but great going forward. City can't keep a clean sheet anyway so an attacking switch makes sense. To me. I guess.

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

      Benfica CS gone.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Darn. Lloris for me tomorrow then.
