Scout Report – James Tomkins
Filed under: Scout Reports - Posted by: Paul
Our series of articles focussing on key targets from the promoted clubs continues with a look at one of West Ham’s defensive assets. Hammers centre-half James Tomkins missed a single league game last term and was one of only two players from Sam Allardyce’s side to feature in the npower Championship team of the season, along with midfielder Mark Noble:
The Statistics
A product of the Hammers’ youth academy, Tomkins signed for the club at the age of seven and has worked his way up through the ranks. The centre-half made his debut in the 2007-08 campaign after a spate of injuries handed him a chance and went on to win the Young Hammer of the Year award after making six first-team appearances. Aside from a brief five-week loan spell at Derby the following season, Tomkins has been a one-club man.
The centre-half has struggled with injuries and failed to gain the trust of certain managers over his time at Upton Park; prior to Sam Allardyce’s arrival last summer, he had made just 60 league appearances in his first four seasons at the club. Installed alongside Winston Reid at the heart of the Hammers backline, Tomkins – who occasionally featured in a defensive midfield role under the former Bolton boss – was a stand-out performer as Big Sam guided the club back into the Premier League at the first attempt, returning four goals and a couple of assists. In total, he has played 104 league matches, scoring six times and providing three assists, and has represented England at youth level from Under 16 – Under 21.
The Prospects
Costing 4.5 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) and 4.1 in the Sky Sports game, Tomkins is pricier than his fellow Hammers defenders in the latter game, with Reid matching his valuation in FPL. His guaranteed game time, however, has helped him pick up plenty of suitors and he is, resultantly, the most popular West Ham defender in both games, despite cheaper alternatives in Allardyce’s backline.
While many Fantasy managers are eyeing up the Hammers defence as we look for cut-price rotation options, it’s worth bearing in mind that Allardyce’s side were statistically more impressive away from home in the 2011/12 campaign. Not only did West Ham win more games on the road (13 to 11), they picked up 10 away clean sheets compared to just seven at home and also conceded less goals on their travels (22 v 26). A repeat pattern could well prove frustrating for Fantasy managers looking to mainly utilise their Hammers defensive assets at home, perhaps suggesting Jussi Jaaskelainen may be more reliable in FPL due to save points, though Tomkins’ ability to register blocks could prove essential in boosting his EA SPORTS Player Performance Index score and help him pick up bonus.
Tomkins’ involvement with the Great Britain Olympic squad has many worrying over his game time at the start of the season but even if Stuart Pearce’s team reach the final on Saturday August 11, it still gives the defender a full week before the Hammers get their season underway at home to Aston Villa – considering how integral Tomkins was to the team’s defensive performances last term, it seems unlikely this will affect Allardyce’s selection policy.
With (FUL, SUN, SOT) all set to visit Upton Park by the end of Gameweek 8 and trips to Swansea, Norwich and QPR also on the agenda, the Hammers are picking up plenty investment due to what is clearly one of the kindest opening schedules around. If Allardyce can engineer a quick start out the blocks, Tomkins has the potential to immediately flourish and establish himself as one of the best value defenders on offer to Fantasy managers for the season ahead.

Any Reading Royals out here? What do you guys reckon your first choice def would be? Is Gunter nailed on?
July 31 at 7:41 am
RaspingDrive says:
He should be I reckon. Cummings looks like the main competition for the RB spot and he was poor last season. Gunter has some top flight experience as well (16 games for Spurs) which will be important.
I think we will line up Gunter Gorkss Pearce Shorey against Stoke at least (Mariappa is probably not best suited to deal with the aerial bombardment). I would expect Mariappa to win a starting berth at some point, simply because he is far more mobile. Who he replaces is up in the air, I would say Pearce because Gorkss has a lot of international experience (although no PL experience).

I like Gunter I think he is decent, could have been good for spurs but never given a good run.
Plays well for Wales, and did so for Forest

Hi guys, first post for 12/13 season… was really thinking very very hard whether to stick with lampard or go with one of the new signings (Hazard) for Chelsea’s DGW. Already have Cashley and torres…Lampard at 9.0 is steal imo given how he is still a class act but I wonder if he will even get a start considering how expensive the new signings are to be left on the bench… But the blues have been very unorthodox on that choosing to even loan out Lukaku or bench him lol..
July 31 at 7:37 am
roscola says:
I find it hard to believe that any Chelsea midfielder will play both games of the DGW. Mata and Hazard will probably play one each and if you wanted one of them long-term then go for it but if you’re only buying them for the DGW I think they’re all too risky.

I’m thinking Silva + Tevez for the opening 3 GW’s, then ditch 1 or both if they aren’t going well.
Think Tevez is currently playing too well to not start the season.

that could be great combo
let’s hope that Tevez will be nailed on

it would be perfect if he could play in first 3gws
i plan to get jelavic in GW4 anyways and he cost 8.5M so he could be ideal replacement for tevez

10.0 is very expensive but he was worth that for most of last season. I’m gonna give Nasri a whirl for a few weeks but I’m sure he’ll flop and I’ll go crawling back to ol’ David with flowers and chocolates
July 31 at 7:51 am
FuzzyWarbles says:
no just pretty expensive, the most expensive.
if city fixtures were fantastic i might consider, but even when they are good, hes not as much armband material as bale or others who are cheaper.
July 31 at 7:57 am

There’s a reason he is their most expensive midfielder.

Foster
Ivanovic / Hangeland / Ridgewell
Mata / Dempsey / Valencia / Noble
Tevez / Bent / Jelavic
Mignolet / Maloney / Demel / Cuellar
1.0 in the bank incase Tevez doesn’t look like playing as much as I think and then I can trade Mata/Tevez to Silva/Adebayor. Otherwise Mata will swap straight to Bale.
I have double rotation with Foster/Mignolet & Rodwell/Cuellar which maybe slightly risky but I fancy it to do well.
Noble & Maloney also rotate well.

Would agree with this early on but Pardew mentioned in pre-season he’s looking for a goal scoring central defender so I’d expect he’ll buy one and Saylor will either get injured or sit.

Should I slap myself and reshuffle to make room for a city striker or can this work?
July 31 at 8:11 am
Smurf says:
If your only having one heavy hitter then another one has to be a steady midpriced striker IMO. Both Graham & Petric is too risky IMO.
I dont neccessarily think you need 2 big hitters though as my stike force is Tevez/Bent/Jelavic

For the moment this is how my team looks like… (still hopng for a 12/13 james mcclean to come out)
Fred — Migs
Cashley — Iva (Just for DGW) — Clyne — Fabio — Santon? (Notice I favor attacking wingbacks more)
Nzog — Kagawa — Yaya — Noble — Guthrie
Torres (should go rooney in the long term or maybe not if he proves consistent enuff) — Kun — Petric
Funny thing to note I went Petric over Graham as I played against him in fifa 12 and he scored so many times against me….

The Torres love is quite amusing. This guy has burned several here many times in the last 2 seasons and yet he’s still being picked.

Only thing worse than having him when he burned us previously is not having him in a DGW when he scores 10+ points.

King Henry ii says:
He will not score. It’s Torres in a Chelsea shirt

FORCA INTER says:
he was good at the end of the season
i can see him scoring 3 goals in dgw

Clicker says:
he improved from ‘terrible’ to ‘you’ll get 90 minutes because you cost 50 million’
He was still a shadow of his former self IMHO

He did come up with the goods in the last DGW though. I haven’t got him but I am nervous.

QPR expects...Taarabt to shine says:
Agreed.
Too many looking at Chelsea’s improved team (on paper), Torres’ near guaranteed playing time in it and ignoring the fact this is the man who can round the keeper… and miss the goal

Chelsea the least 2 seasons has been without the players Torres needs. Add Hazard, Oscar, Marin and his friend Mata to his late season + Euro form. Its well worth one more punt.
Its funny how 9/10 see “2m for Torres ->Rooney after gw1″ without knowing what so ever what Torres will do with 2 games.
