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.

    Is Lascelles likely to keep his role at Newcastle?

        Thanks. I need a bench player so I guess he will be okay - he has to play gw28 though...

          He does play GW28. You can also have a look at Charlie Taylor. Also 4.2m. Burnley seem to be on the up.

        one of the better defending teams in the lower half of the table though ?

        Lascelles is a great fifth or fourth defender if you are playing 3 at the back

      Think of it as an opportunity to take a punt on a differential.

      When you’re forced into a transfer, I think it’s more exciting. Takes the pressure off the transfer too

    I’m clearly out of touch with music, but I can’t believe how bad / average most of the ‘award winning artists’ are. In particular.

    - Mabel: literally thousands of people can sing better than her, can’t dance and is where she is solely due to her parents

    - Billie Eilish: she cant even sing and Don’t get me started on the bond theme.. 0/10.
