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.

    So confused as to why spurs have let trippier, rose, kwp and llorente go with no replacements at all.

    Been struggling at full back all season and now no forwards.

    Yes they've been unlucky with injuries but you could see this coming.

      Totally agree. Look at Man Utd's failure to replace Lukaku. He wasn't exactly Ballon d'Or material but he scored goals and those goals weren't replaced. Then you end up signing Ighalo on an emergency loan in January.

        Think they're just taking their time to build correctly. You sign one wrong player and you screw the club for 4 years. If the right player isn't available, a loan is probably the right action.

          In the circumstances a loan was the right move. My point is if the right replacement isn't available don't sell in the first place.
