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.

    How much is Haaland worth?

    Absolute goal machine

    1. kime67
      • 6 Years

      pretty low release clause

      1. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not active until 2022 though

    2. TheDragon

      Goal machine!

    Mane and Salah taken off specifically to be ready for the weekend's big match v West Ham. Atletico will get a huge boost seeing them off.

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

      Salah off is a boost for Liverpool tonight.

    2. TheDragon

      Klopp is prioritising the league

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They have won it already, they should focus on UCL

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

          obviously but neither Mané nor Salah were playing very well tonight

  3. kime67
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    fa cup&champions league < premier league

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

    You just know he will score against West Ham now

  5. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Haaland is in a world of his own

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Two goals tonight now.....

      This guy is on fire

  6. Silecro

    Haaland(c) brace!

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

      I have him but Messi (c)

      1. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You can switch captains. (unless you're not playing the official game but a different version)

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

          I always forget that 🙁

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

          Yeah but i think you can only switch them to the ones who havent played yet

          1. Greek Freak
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I know - I meant it as in you captain whoever you have on the first day and then keep changing if they fail.

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

    Liverpool getting none of the bounces tonight, one of them games.

    Well used to coming from behind in the CL.

  8. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years

    Liverpool not getting crappy handball decisions in this stadium this year.

  9. Yome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lol@Man U for not buying Haaland.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They refused to deal with his agent

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

      Wasn't it more a case of Haaland not wanting Manu Utd.

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

        Roy Kean injured his father and ended his career, on perpest

        1. FFSbet.com
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Nah,it was the other knee imo

      2. Yome
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Surely he would have loved to play for Ole. Missing out on a 19yo wonder is a such an embarrassment for the club

    3. Party time
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Man u is not up to Haaland's standard

        1. Brehmeren
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          This

      • jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It was raiola.. hes a cancerous parasite.
        I'm fine not getting haaland if it means we dont have to deal with him going forward.

      • teneighty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        His dad probably wouldn't let him sign for Man U.

        1. Yome
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He ain’t his agent

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

            I know. But he played for Man C and Roy Keane ruined his career. Don't think Man U is a club he would like his son representing.

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

          Nothing to do with his dad, ole gave haaland his debut, and Alf inga actually good friends with ogs.
          It came down to the club not wanting to deal with raiola again.

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

            This

        3. teneighty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Damn, I once again forgot to add one of those yellow little faces. Well well.

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

      Thank fook United didn’t budge for Haaland and got Ighalo instead.

    5. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland's next release clause of 63m already looking like it'll be a steal.

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

        For context:

        Fred: £53m
        Kepa: £71m

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fred has actually been mostly good this season but yeah, I take your point. Haaland's next release clause becomes active the summer after next I think, probably goes to Real or maybe Bayern if he enjoys living in Germany.

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

            We can only dream of United getting him sadly 🙁

      2. Nailed Jesus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Shame he’s represented by that toxic agent...will want another move after a couple of years

      3. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not into effect until 2022 though

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

        active after 2 years, the smart thing for Dortmund would be to sell before it kicks in!

    6. Party time
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Mané injured again?

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          why else sub at 45 when losing

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

        Hendo broken

      • Arteta
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Erling Braut Haaland ➡ future Ballon d'Or winner

      • Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        The injuries just don’t stop for Liverpool.

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

          Lol come on

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

        Haaland 10 goals in 7 CL games so far this year. Not good enough for PL clubs

      • DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That lad Haaland is outrageous. What a talent

        1. Tinkermania
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          And people still saying Kane is best striker in the world. smh

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

            Who the feck says that?

            1. Tinkermania
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Most Brits.

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

                Rubbish

          2. elchilangles
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            he's not even the best striker in the PL!

        2. Yome
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He is fast and strong. Reminds me of Ronaldo Luis.

      • DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It baffles me that Man Utd didnt go all out for Haaland

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

          Igahlo was available otherwise they would have 😉

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

          You assuming he'd choose them over Dortmund?

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

            Im not assuming anything, i know Dortmund are a better side with CL football, but money talks in football and Man Utd have plenty

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

              If you look at the opportunities and development Sancho has got there, I think that would help too.

            2. The Ejiptian King
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Either he just chose Dortmund or we refused to agree to the terms that they did, he has another release clause that becomes active the summer after next, there's no way we'd want that.

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

          Hindsight.

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

          It baffles me that people think a club can just point at a player and get them. Way more complicated than that.

          1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Money talks

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

              At least when Raiola is involved.

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

          Dortumind is a better team to keep learning and progressing in, he's still very young and will move to PL in a couple of years

      • Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Liverpool injuries pilling up. No Mane and no Hendo....West Ham to end Liverpool run.

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Hopefully buoyed by first seeing off ManC tomorrow

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

      • Rainer

        This ref would be perfect for the Premier League.

        Ryan (Mcgov)
        TAA, Aurier, Stephens (Rico, Soy)
        Salah, KDB, Maddison, Sarr (Cantwell)
        Firmino, Auba, Ings

        1FT, 0.8 ITB - any thoughts?

        Want rid of maddison, but fixtures look enticing to keep after this gw.

        1. JoeSoap
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe Aurier>Boly. Had Maddy myself but done nothing even when they were scoring freely so got rid.

      • El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Salah injured as well?

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

          No - but at risk of losing his starting place

        2. DA Minnion (Former great)

        • DycheDycheBaby
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Only just brought in Son and none of my rivals had him. So annoying 🙁

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

            I suppose 13 points for 1 game was worth it though.

          2. Party time
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Try bringing in Mané

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

                • 8 Years

                would have to do a -4. and got other players to get rid of for GW28. arghh

            • 7 Years

            Clearly Atletico are a nightmare to be 1-0 down to, but Liverpool didn't look right from the 1st minute tonight.

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

              Pool aren't that good away from home in the Champions league. Napoli games this season and the last one. Barca last season.

          4. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 11 Years

                • 11 Years

                True

              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Can't argue there. Atletico have been good tonight though.

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

                Yeah have defended very well.

            Didnt Haaland take less money to go to Dortmund?

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

              Probably earns him more money in the long run.

            Not only did I take a drunken 12 point hit on Sunday night, I also own both Son and Mane.

            No WC either.... Season over!

                Was aiming for at least top 50k, currently 60k ish according to live rank, but with the stupid hit plus Son/Mane it's going to be tough
