Joe is joined by David and Karam for the latest episode of the Scoutcast tonight.

You can watch it on our YouTube channel from 8pm BST to 9pm BST.

This episode overlaps with the return of European football to our screens.

Liverpool and Chelsea take on Napoli and Valencia respectively as the Champions League group stages get underway on Tuesday night.

We will have Scout Notes on those matches on Wednesday, but for now, there’s a brand new episode of the Scoutcast to occupy your attention.

On tonight’s agenda are the best cheap defenders now that the premium ones have frustrated their owners.

We’ll also discuss how best to cover Manchester City in the wake of their surprise defeat at Norwich.

Finally, we’ll debate how to recover from a poor start to the season as many managers have endured a tough few weeks.

    Son is spurs main goal scorer from now on. Kane is slow, plays deep, injury prone. Son is going to be fire this season.

            Yeah it’s changing, Kanes losing it. Easy to see if you watch the games. Son is hungry, knows it’s his place to take.

            Why do people always say about stats from over the past 2 years. It’s totally irrelevant in football. Form and age play a massive part.

                Don't need to be directly assisted, mount seems a good player works hard, makes runs, gives the opposition something to think about. There was maybe a couple of moves that involved him that got Abraham.a goal but didn't count as assists for whatever reason (defender touched it etc)

            Hi guys!

            What are your thoughts on this wildcard team?

            i tried to keep double city because of fixtures but also wanted Son. Only regret is not having Aubameyang. Also im punting on Aurier and if he doesn't play i atleast have some back up.

            Pope Button
