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.

    A) Vardy and Richarlison.

    B) DCL and Mane

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      DCL and Rich

    2. squits
      • 14 Years

      Vardy as soon as he scores one

  2. Babelcopter

    Just pulled the trigger.

    Mane -> Barnes
    Simpson -> Robbo -4

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

      Turns out it probably isn't very haunting. Should've waited on Mane.

      1. Babelcopter
        • 5 Years

        Wait what?

      Reactionary!

    Lol @ the egyptian Josh king... What a fraud

    Mane not injured, just rubbish. Klopp knows

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t you ever get tired of spouting utter shite?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Proof is there for all to see.. don’t hate the messenger

    2. FCSB

      love how much you get a bite with your posts... always quite sensible when replying to mine tbf though

      1. IRBOX ⚽

        Full of wisdom mate. The harsh truths often elicit salty responses. #misunderstood

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Do you know where Ibrox is now mate?

          Considering your clearly vast football knowledge surely ya do?

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            He has admitted earlier that he doesn't know about ibrox. Clueless...

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Also coming back from injury, makes sense.

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

      thanks for confirming

    3. Qaiss
      • 8 Years

      Liverpool complaining about referees? Jeepers...

  5. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I was going to do Martial to Son. Then Mane....
    I'll be targeting Snodgrass by the end of the week.

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

      Keep Martial - it’s a sign

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        But but... West Ham

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Snoddy - what a player! 😀

  6. Hotdogs for Tea

    4 years, 1 month ago

    1 - 0 down and you take off your best player at half time ? not buying that, surely you just tell him to calm down a bit ...

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

      Didn't know Lovren was playing tonight

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        🙂

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

      Accused of elbowing every time he jumps doesn’t help.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        maybe just stop elbowing then ?

  7. Epic Fail
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Salah being a greedy SOB once again.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good for FPL

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

        Depends really. Not good when he can feed someone for an assist but takes it on himself when he isn't even on.

  8. how now brown cow

    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.

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

      They are struggling cause VAR is here and they can’t dive their way to penalties every so often... Pochettino drilled that team to cheat.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ok

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      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.

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

        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.

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          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.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Levy aint it. The man is a tool

  9. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Was planning Auba to Jimenez next week along with upgrading a mid but should I do it this week? Just the Auba move.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      may as well

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

      It's one of those moves that could easily backfire this GW in isolation.

    Hi guys!

    What would you honestly do to this team now that Sons injured?

    McCarthy Button

    Basham TAA VVD Rico Kelly

    Alli Salah Son De Bruyne Stephens

    Vardy Ings DCL

    1.0 itb 1ft

    1. Son to Martial for free
    2. Son to Martial and Kelly to Evans (Leicester have good fixtures after the next one)
    3. Son to Richarlison for free
    4. Son to Mane and VVD to Tarkowski/Evans
    5. Other

    thanks guys 🙂 🙂

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

      Son to Traore

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

      Hold off on Mane.

  11. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah is a different player at awsy gamed

  12. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Mane essential?

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

      Imo, TAA is the only essential player in FPL right now. It’s essential having one of Salah or Mane.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      TAA
      Salah or Mane
      KdB
      Ings

      those are the essentials IMO

  13. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Doherty or Boly? ( have cash when selling Son)

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Boly

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Doherty

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

      Punt Doherty!

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Boly better value for me

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

    Alvaro 🙂

  15. aborg
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thank you Morata....you saved my team ! Hahaha what a hopeless player

  16. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool getting away with it a bit here.

    You know they'll score on the break before long though.

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

      No breaks vs Atleti sitting on their pen spot.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No trippier to help you out today.

  17. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Good to see Morata is still as hilariously awful as he was for Chelsea

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Form is temporary , classless is permanent.

  18. Dr Mulholland
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    There surely is a sniper in the stadium.

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

      I thought the English snipers for Salah, Mane, Kane & Sterling were good but the Spanish snipers are next level!

      1. Dr Mulholland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, generally we're no good at the dark arts. Prefer it that way.

  19. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland scores

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

      No surprise there.

      Sancho assist?

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why could’t A PL club buy him... 7 CL goals so far this year. Scores for fun in Bundesliga

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        and he scores again

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

        10cl goals

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah subbed

    Poor performance

  21. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah off. Useless.

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

    Salah rested.

  23. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mo off too!

  24. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    pictures from the Liverpool dressing room will haunt Mane owners:

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      😆

  25. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah subbed.

    Klopp smoking something.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He's right. Salah was crap.

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

    Haunting.

  27. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Klopper saving Salah for the Hammers

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Now I guess both Mane and Mo could miss against wHu

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        In that case they must both be injured in training between now and whu

  28. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Although everybody says double Pool defence:
    Really tempted to do Aguero/Kdb to Jimmy/Mane.

  29. kime67
