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?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Yes but Newcastle are really bad at defending. Really really bad.

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

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

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

        7 CS - only 5 teams have done better including pool, good fixtures, particularly the home games

      3. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        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

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years

      If he could tackle like him you would have the perfect full back.

    Should be a red card for Salah

    Going over the top of the ball 😆

  15. fplking14

    Tackling is a lost art, seriously refs give anything for a foul.

    Big mistake by van dijl, morata nearly scores

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Must’ve been a hell of a mistake to nearly let that donkey score

  20. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Salah with the first touch of a baby elephant.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Very harsh on the cute little efelants.

    2. Fantasy Gold

      1. Bada Bing
        • 7 Years

        So the whole Ivory Coast national team is racist, because they call themselves "The Elephants"? Get a grip, man... Some people are just looking for an excuse to be "offended".

      Sounds erotic.

    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Well that's great I did a WC gw26 and got Redmond and Son in.

    Now it looks like I will have to take a -4 gw28 as I also have Aguero.
    No idea what do now.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Unlucky.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Go back in time. Easy.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years

        😀

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      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

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Good point lots of options though. Have aguero as well so could even bench redmond and aguero and roll another transfer.

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

      Don’t even think about it till Friday. Very unlucky.

    5. Corgz Dark side of the Loon

      Have exactly the same problem......and have no idea what to do next....

  25. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts here? Currently plan is to navigate 28 and 31 with free transfers, prefer Jimmy in over Ings because he has a game 31.

    In completely non FPL news.. anyone watching the Brits??

    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.

    I’m raging.

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

      What happen to music from bands like Radiohead?

      What a fkn band!

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      Probably the last thing I would pick to watch .

      1. TheDragon

        I’ve had to turn it off - it’s like watching a train wreck in slow
        Motion but you know they all get paid millions of pounds despite having no talent

        1. George Sillett

      Agreed on brits. But then the last album I bought was Japanese ambient music from the early 80s 🙂

      I amazed - I think that you've been on those mushrooms again. That song is fantastic. 9/10 (not watching the live Brits, so maybe she's nervous or just crap live)

    Is Trent drunk?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      His and Robertson’s crossing would indicate they are both drunk
