Scoutcast returns to discuss Son replacements and budget attackers

The Scoutcast is back for another episode as the Gameweek 27 edges closer.

You can catch us on our YouTube channel from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT.

Joe will be joined by Az and Holly to discuss the key issues of the coming weeks.

We may still be in the never-ending Gameweek 26 but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Son Heung-min (£10.0m) replacements will be our initial focus, in light of his recent long-term injury.

Relegation-threatened players will be up next considering that Jack Grealish (£6.7m) continued to deliver points over the weekend.

With Premier League survival on the line for him and his Aston Villa colleagues, as well as Brighton, Watford, Norwich and Bournemouth, we discuss which players are likely to step-up to the plate.

Manchester City were recently handed a two-year ban from the Champions League which could affect the way Pep Guardiola picks his team both this season and next, while with another view on 2019/20 we also look at potential changes to FPL moving forward.

    Who’s on your shopping list this week?

      Show me the Mane

    2. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Jimenez, Lascelles and Richarlison

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Long legs, swirly blonde hair and pearly whites.

    4. fc_skrald
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      a cheap defender, not very exciting

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Need to get rid of Son. Might do Son/Aguero -> Mane/Vardy.

      Got a feeling Vardy will score against City, then has a nice run of games.

      Not sure what mid to get besides Mane. (Have Salah KDB Martial). Traore or Barnes maybe...

    6. TiAgoFPL
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Armstrong or Mount

    7. Kushal
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Jimi and doherty

    8. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane and Jimenez

  2. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Probable moves for GW 28.

    A) Fodder, Auba -> Evans, Vardy
    B) Fodder, KdB -> Pereira, Maddison

    Should I be keeping Auba or KdB?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You re getting vardy ? Interesting

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Auba to Vardy could happen.

        1. Slitherene
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          But Aubameyang has better fixtures than KdB & he might not be rotated a as much as KdB, no?

      2. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        When you don't own a player, I think you look at it more objectively. Vardy is proven quality in the Prem and will almost certainly find form again... especially with the fixtures coming up.

        I'm getting him too in GW28, hopefully after another blank.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Vardy is Vardy.

          In form hide in the deepest hole if you do not have him.

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            100%

    2. fc_skrald
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking about the Auba to Vardy move myself

      What's the GW28 blank plan?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure ...maybe Hanley to a Newcastle defender. Planned on getting son for grealish ...

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          You do know Son is injured? Selling players with a game over GW28 blankers probably not a good idea.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah I know ..that was my plan to get son. Not sure now ...

              Oh ok, do you really want KDB and Auba on the bench in 28?

              1. Ajax Hamsterdam
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

    Just not going to be the same without an explosive Son in my team.

    Richarlison, make me proud!

  11. sovietrockettes
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    An injury to one of the following today or tomorrow will force me to play my wildcard immediately:

    Salah TAA Robertson Traore KDB

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Positive thoughts 😉

  12. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    That's a strong Liverpool XI. Athletico are getting mauled.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mid Feb and it’s the 1st time this season this strongest team have started together, bloody injuries!

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Crazy how well they've done. This is definitely their strongest XI.

    2. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No they’re not.

    3. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Easy Atleti win

  13. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can't decide if DCL is worth holding. If I do hold, then I'll only play him twice in the next 5 games. The caveat is that he probably plays in GW31 and I'm not using my FH.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Unless he’s becoming Jimmy or Ings then I wouldn’t be rushing him out.

      The defences he’s facing in the next few weeks aren’t up to much.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I was going to hold before the Son injury and still might.

      GW 31 probable game partly the reason and very cheap and benchable in a bad fixture but if I go Son > Traore I would have enough to go back to Vardy next week.
      One to sleep on.

  18. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    As sorry as I am for Son, his injury means I can hold from WC'ing and makes KDB > Mane a no brainer next week.

    West Brom beating NC in the FA Cup & Spurs beating Norwich would provide plenty of options for the blank gameweek without much of an overhaul
