Scout Notes

Scout Notes- Gameweek Twenty Six- Sunday

Theo Walcott is at the double at Arsenal come back to hammer Spurs. Emmanuel Adebayor gets amongst the Fantasy points again. Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs roll back the years as United steal a late win at Norwich, Grant Holt grabs another goal for the Canaries, while Tony Pulis installs Asmir Begovic back in goal as Stoke see off Swansea at the Britannia:

Emmanuel Adebayor
Spurs’ on loan forward maintained his recent run of form in yesterday’s blistering north London derby. Adebayor was once again partnered by Louis Saha and provided an assist for the Frenchman to open the scoring at the Emirates, before netting Spurs’ second from the spot in the 5-2 defeat. He has now picked up 12 assists this term, second only to David Silva, and a nine point return took Adebayor to 142 points, just a couple behind Wayne Rooney. With Spurs hosting United before facing tricky trip to Everton and Chelsea, immediate investment may not be huge, though with a turn in fixtures from Gameweek 31 onwards, Adebayor has the potential to rack up the points in the final quarter of the season.

Bacary Sagna
Having sustained a broken ankle in the first north London derby back in Gameweek 7, the Arsenal right-back exacted revenge as he helped spark a remarkable comeback. Sagna –who had been out for 15 gameweeks with the injury before returning earlier this month- grabbed the home side’s first and also provided an assist as Arsenal turned over their rivals in emphatic fashion. Perhaps surprisingly, this was the first time this term Sagna has produced attacking returns but, with the Gunners chalking up just two clean sheets in their last ten, investment in their back line continues to look a risk.

Theo Walcott
Despite plenty calls for his exclusion, Walcott maintained his place in the starting XI, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain dropped from the previous league game at Sunderland. The winger answered his critics in style, grabbing a brace and returning double figures for the second home match in succession. Walcott is now on 117 points, three more than Juan Mata and only nine less than the likes of Nani; priced at 8.8, he’s proving to be better value than perhaps anticipated and, with less than 4% ownership, is clearly an over-looked differential.

Robin Van Persie
The Gunners skipper was only fourth in this week’s Captain Poll, with a mere 5% of the votes ahead of the visit of Spurs. Arsenal’s defeats away to Sunderland and Milan clearly had an effect, with nearly 33,000 Fantasy managers transferring Van Persie out in Gameweek 26, but he demonstrated once again just why it’s folly to write him off, with a goal and assist in the 5-2 triumph. He now sits on 193 points, nearly 40 ahead of nearest rival Gareth Bale, and is well on course to hammering last season’s top score of 198 by Nani.

Ryan Giggs
A last-minute winner at Norwich provided the fairy-tale ending for the Welshman’s 900th appearance for United. Afforded another role on the left, with Ashley Young benched, Giggs continued a strong run of consistency which has now seen him produce attacking returns in each of his last five appearances for the champions. With Paul Scholes vindicating his return from retirement with his second goal in six matches, it’s clear the experienced hands are stepping up in performance for Sir Alex Ferguson in the crucial final third of the season. Giggs has now played 90 minutes in four of United’s last five, though with Antonio Valencia expected back next week, there’s enough of a question mark against his game time to make Fantasy managers think twice about his acquisition.

Nani
Back in domestic action after a three-gameweek absence due to a foot injury, the Portuguese star grabbed an assist for Scholes’ opener- this was his first attacking return since Gameweek 17. Nani’s lack of form, combined with Antonio Valencia’s strong consistency, has seen the former’s price drop from 10.5 to 9.9 in recent weeks but with the champions’ schedule looking outstanding from Gameweek 28 onwards, he has the platform and potential to deliver.

Grant Holt
A goal against United took the Norwich skipper to 98 points, the top-scoring Fantasy player for Paul Lambert’s side. Holt seems to have ousted Steve Morison as the Canaries number-one forward- he’s started the last five, while the Welshman has managed 25 minutes in the last three gameweeks. Holt has also scored against the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle and, with (stk, WIG, WOL, ful) amongst his next five, he looks a decent cut-price (5.0) option over the next month or so.

Asmir Begovic
Having started the Potters’ last fourteen league games, Thomas Sorensen had certainly looked the nailed-on number-one for Tony Pulis’ side. Confident of a home clean sheet, we’d even drafted him into this week’s Scout Picks ahead of the game against Swansea- Stoke duly obliged with a 2-0 win but it was Asmir Begovic who got the nod. Stoke’s Thursday lineup in Valencia was, in retrospect, a sign of a shift in Pulis’ thinking- Sorensen had started in Spain; a clear surprise, given that Begovic tended to be fielded for cup games. The only matter that Pulis’ team sheet clarified yesterday was that, as far as Stoke goalkeepers are concerned, there’s no such thing as a certainty.

Ryan Shotton
Having flickered briefly on Fantasy radars with a run of six starts in seven from Gameweek 14-20, Shotton’s stock had taken a dive after just a single first XI appearance in the subsequent five fixtures. Lining up on the right side of midfield, the 4.0 defender returned to the Stoke starting lineup yesterday and reminded us of his out-of-position potential with an assist for Peter Crouch as Stoke avenged their defeat at the Liberty Stadium earlier in the season. Similar to the likes of Sorensen, though, his lack of assured game time will continue to deter most Fantasy suitors, despite his cut-price potential.

Peter Crouch
Partnered once again by Jon Walters up front, Crouch grabbed a rare home goal as the Potters ended a run of four straight losses. The former Spurs man netted at the Britannia for the first time since Gameweek 13 and, pre-bonus, has now averaged 4.1 points per game, taking him ahead of Walters’ 4.0 in the Stoke rankings. A game against Norwich next weekend looks enticing for Crouch but with Chelsea and City to follow, Stoke’s Fantasy assets don’t look likely to see much immediate investment.

    Many people went for Senderos rather than Kelly, ’cause he was ‘more nailed on’.

    What do you experts think? Senderos out for Kelly in is a smart move? Saving money, Kelly plays 90 mins.

    D) Any other
    E) Save transfer

    Help please!!!
    After a catastrophic GW, i think, the only way to improve the points is to have a strengthen the defence which will ensure CS.

              It is ut to you. I simply do not like your doubled defense NEW and TOT. Too risky. Pick one. Walker for Kompany, Simpson for Enrique. One defensive playuer from SWA enough (either Vorm or Williams). Bring Jevanas, Kelly, Taiwo... Players from other teams that have chance to get CS.

              cheers.

            He was pretty decent yesterday, the save he made of Caulker's shot was world class IMO, he's far better than Sorenson, and they are out of Europa as well now.

        RVP should have had points, he was cenrral to everything Arsenal did.
        Same for Silva, best player on the pitch by a mile!!!!
        These too guys may not have assisted all the goals or scored all the goals but they consistently keep their teams playing, probing and looking dangerous - they are indirectly involved in nearly every goal scored.
        The old BP scheme rewarded this and this is what should be rewarded, along with scorers, assisters too.
        Walcott was shite in the first half then two goals courtesy of players that played the ENTIRE match and kje gets all 3 BP's - thats absolute rubbish.
        As for Andrews getting 2 and Morrison only 1 - come on. Who saw that match? Morrison was far better than Andrews and had the ball is the dangerous (and harder to play in) areas of the pitch.
        How Holt didnt get any BP's is beyond me. Again, screw these counting of every touch and every pass.
        If you actually SAW the game you'd know he deserves at least one BP. No one tried harder than him and he scored a brilliant and vital goal for his team.
        Does anyone Ferguson or Mourinho actually count the touches and passes that a player makes?
        No, they watch the game and draw conclusions from the obvious contribution made.
        This is why the new BP scheme is BS.
        Some idiot who knows NOTHING about football can sit there and count crosses, passes, shots, shots on target. When this data is given to him by someone else he doesnt even have to 'watch' the game to come up with his BS bonus point allocations.
        I'll finish there

          I totally agree.

          This system of bonus poinbts in my opinion is bullshit. It leaves you thinking 'were we watching the same game'

          Last season was far better

          i agree with a lot of this, just not the rvp and silva points. the positions they play as much as their ability and influence make them central to mos things attacking. if this was the case playmakers and lone strikers would get bps every match.
          i also think whichever way fpl goes it wont be popular so they chose a way where every award can be explained. it's easier, if not perfect

            I see your point AB but re the striker/playmaker argument they would only be in contention for points every match they played well or every match their team scored.
            Silva has 'probaby' been the best player on the pitch in 20 of his 26 matches this season. If he got on BP in every one of those games I think he deserves it. The best playe on the pitch should get something. Same for RVP, when he's the best player (like yesterday) he deserves something, the the guy who flits in (Walcott) and finishes off the good work because he decided to try for 10 minutes.
            When RVP plays poorly and Walcott plays the entire match then reward Walcott.

            I think you're right about 'why' they do it the way they do this season. They can explain things with this concocted, contrived but ultimately flawed system that they call ICT index.
            I just dont think thats football tho. The game by nature is unpredictable, passionate and subjective. Dont watch the games and award the BP's like a computer would. Watch them and award like a football fan would - thats what we all are at the end of the day...

    LOL my colleague has just got a letter from the local FA (he manages an under 14s side) and it was basically a referee's report on how one of the 12 year olds went up to him after a match, stuck 2 fingers up to him and called him a ginger c*nt

    apparently he's getting fined £40 and suspended for 4 weeks!

    i had no idea things at that age group with such small clubs were still dealt with in such a manner

      I had Clichy for those 3 games.... talk about a backfire.
      I chose Lescott now, so I expect Kolo Toure to get a run of games 🙁

          I went up a magnificent 107 places this week, but still lost to Isacki in the Europa League by 1 point, thanks to his 4 points for a home game. Could someone remind me what the thought process behind this 4 points is - not bitter at all, just curious. 😉

    Gonna get Oxlade-Chamberlain out for this GW and will bench McClean leaving me with a midfield of Silva, Dempsey, Bale + new transfer.

    Who should that new transfer be - around the 4.5-5.5m mark - between Siggy, Moses and Morrison.
