Scout Notes

This Much We Know – Gameweek 37

With the majority of Fantasy managers licking weekend wounds, we spend Monday lunchtime looking forward to renewing an old debate, speculate on the future of Everton’s Belgians, prepare for further Michu punishment and look to the Mr Motivators ahead of Sunday’s climax…

The Sturridge vs Suarez debate will rage harder than ever…
Snuggled in the low-to-mid price bracket and with Luis Suarez banned, Daniel Sturridge always looked a tasty Fantasy proposition. Five goals in three games since the FA slapped the Uruguayan with a 10-match suspension have proven Sturridge is more than capable of leading the Liverpool attack and with Suarez sitting out the season openers next term, he will surely tempt heavy investment from the get go. Sturridge’s price point is set to be of huge interest and will undoubtedly be a deciding factor in our decision between the Liverpool pairing.

It’s ironic to think that, just a few months ago, when Suarez was firing and Sturridge was marooned on the bench and troubled with a thigh injury, there was little or no debate on the weapon of choice in Brendan Rodgers’ attack. Now the landscape has shifted dramatically: if Sturridge comes in under Suarez in price, which is a reasonable assumption, then the debate will rage once again. While the Uruguayan is undoubtedly a special talent, blighted by moments of madness, it should be noted that Sturridge has come close to outperforming him based on the statistics. Our members can have fun with the comparison tool but, having tinkered briefly, it’s notable that Sturridge has scored a league goal in Liverpool colours every 104 minutes compared to Suarez’s 134 – his shooting accuracy and conversion of shots is also stronger. Some considerable food for thought ahead of what will undoubtedly be one of the major discussion points of next season once Suarez is free of his suspension shackles.

Moyes leaves behind a gem in Mirallas…
The tearful departure of David Moyes from Goodison followed on from another efficient and slick display from his team, as they came through an emotionally charged afternoon to see their manager off in some style. Kevin Mirallas took centre stage, dazzling the Hammers back four with quick feet and movement and capping his performance with a brace to take him to six goals for the season. There is surely far more to come from the Belgian. This is a player who, during his time in Greece, notched 34 goals in 52 appearances for Olympiacos. While he’s shown flashes of this potential, a role primarily on the flank for the Toffees has perhaps tempered his ability to show his goal power. There’s every chance that this could change under a new manager: with Nikica Jelavic stuttering and Victor Anichebe more brute force that fox in the box, there’s every chance that we’ll see Mirallas become a more central figure at Goodison, in more ways than one. With a price tag of just 6.5 in the Fantasy Premier League this term, we can assume that he’ll either sit still or enjoy a modest rise and yet, if he becomes integral to the new manager’s plans, he could prove a wily Fantasy acquisition. We will be watching the pre-season with interest.

Fellaini may stay but he could still be lost to us…
As one Belgian hints at prospering next term, another has his future as a Fantasy asset in the balance. Marouane Fellaini has been superb for long spells this season but, in the past two months, his output has been hindered by a constant change in position from a defensive midfield berth to the support striker role that has proved so profitable. Moyes shifted Fellaini back to cope with the menace of Andy Carroll on Sunday and, more significantly, the player himself has recently spoken out about his best position, revealing that he sees his future back in the engine room.

“Sometimes I look at myself and ask, ‘What is my best position?’ I think it’s a defensive midfielder, that’s the best one. The manager might like it sometimes when I play up front because I can cause trouble for the defenders, but for me my best position defensive midfield – stopping the opposition and then looking to impose myself on a game. When I play up front, it’s hard. It’s not my position and I find it difficult. I’ve played in a few positions. Sometimes I’ve played well there. I understand why the manager might put me up there.”

Whilst Fellaini has stated that he’s happy to remain at Everton, despite the desire to play Champions League football, there will be mounting speculation on his future over the summer. A move to United would seem unlikely, however and, if he remains at Goodison, there will be likely be pre-season Fantasy interest given his returns this term. However, with a price hike likely and Fellaini’s recent quotes, there is surely every chance that the new manager will seek to appease the Belgian by handing him assurance of his favoured role, building the new Everton around the platform that his imposing presence would bring in midfield, whilst looking for new options further forward – again, with Mirallas perhaps a major factor.

Michu may yet sting us again…
As our earlier Scout Notes highlighted, Michael Laudrup has made a late sprint for “Villain” status after offering an early prognosis on Michu that, ultimately, proved off-beam. After inevitable huge sales throughout the week, the player added the sting in the tail by claiming a well-taken 18th goal of the season in the defeat at Old Trafford. It really could get worse. Swansea face up to Fulham on Sunday – a side who have now lost their last five league matches, conceding 12 goals in the process. With the Swans looking to overcome their own slump and sign off their season in style, the Cottagers look set to be in the firing line. Michu is the chief gunslinger and, having served us so magnificently over the campaign, has now suddenly revealed himself as an unlikely differential for those who were either forced to sit tight or mistrusted the Dane’s early injury verdict. We’ll prepare a sizeable pinch of salt to accompany Laudrup’s press conferences next term.

The Carrow Road clash highlighted the importance of motivation…
We’ve spent some weeks speculating on the impact of motivation on our close season profits and, on Sunday at Carrow Road, we saw stark evidence of how it can come into play. The Baggies turned up in East Anglia with nothing to play for, having overachieved under Steve Clarke – in many ways there were the perfect opposition for a Norwich side hungry for the victory that would cement their Premier League status. What followed was an exposure of an abject West Brom performance as Norwich, having struggled for firepower all season long, put four goals past their visitors. Clarke’s appraisal of his side was refreshing, leaving us in no doubt that his side are ready for the golf course…

“It’s been slowly fizzling out for us. If I’m being honest, we need the summer to come.”

These are not the kind of words we want to hear from Premier League managers as we look to our Fantasy squads to push to the very end. It underlines the fact that those with the motivation to score goals and earn points will surely be in line to offer the final day profits. While Sunday is a lottery and Robin Van Persie could explode against the sleepy Baggies, having witnessed United’s own slumbered state in recent matches, it may well be wiser to look to the relegation battle and the top four tussle for last ditch differentials. Norwich certainly provided a convincing case for such a strategy.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        I dont normally get involved in this sort of stuff, but seeing Towlie constantly posting "Maybe Unreal has left FPL" just to get people talking about him is incredibly annoying.

        And it is so obvious, that it should be pointed out so it can stop.

      Just to put it out there. We need to stop this Towelie = Unreal business. I don't have any evidence from an admin perspective to suspect this so we need to drop it.

      Obviously if Towelie or any user requires reporting then do so but reporting him more often because you think he's guilty of another users indiscretions is a bit unfair.

      Don't think transferring Foster out is worth a hit. If you take in a keeper who gets a clean sheet and foster then concedes 4, you will only be up by 2 points.

          Then I suppose you could be 2 points better off If you some how manage to choose the keeper who will keep a clean sheet. To be fair, I like to know ill have 11 players playing, but looking at it from an analytical view point, its unlikely that you will profit from sling a one week hit for a keeper

    at 87 points clear in the mini-league race, I am almost ready to declare myself the winner.

    My closest rival has maintained an "I've lost interest" stance since about the time where I first raced into a difficult to recover lead.

    He has tried everything he can to dampen my victory, which I have worked very hard for (in terms of studying the game and time spent on here) and has offerend no word of congratulations, instead pretending he no longer even logs onto the site (even though he was making transfers and changing his lineups up until this week, at which point I was 63 points ahead with two games to go.)

    As a punishment, I have decided not to participate in their mini-league next season, stating that I would prefer a more competitive environment. Am I being as bad as him? I can just see him winning next year and putting it down to him "trying harder" when he has tried as hard this year as any other.

    I hate him.

        That's it though, when he won last year I congratulated him and made it clear I had tried really hard but he just played better in the end.

        This year, he has just resorted to miserable tactics to make himself feel better. He pretends he has no clue what's happened in the football but makes conflicting statements at every turn. For a while I thought he was just playing mind games to make me take my foot off the gas, but now I realise he was just admitting defeat early.

        This bitter rivalry has been what's made the game worthwhile for me, but it's worth nothing if we can't all be gents about it at the end of the season.

        But when the final whistle goes next weekend, I will be delighted and the bitterness will fade.

            it really was all about beating this guy. Recently on Twitter, I asked him if he was disappointed about the way his season had gone and he said "I don't consider anything to do with Fantasy Football a "disappointment". As if he has never really cared about it, which we both know isn't true. He got as high as 15th in Scotland earlier this year and posted on Facebook bragging about it, but when I overtook him the following week, he acted like it was no big deal.

            He is not used to losing so I think this has been difficult for him.

        I just expected better, he's won the league 4 out of 5 previous seasons and he's seen how much I care about it and work at it. We used to spend all our time together talking transfers and previous weeks, captaincy decisions etc. Probing each other for information during the week, giving little red herrings here and there. It was great.

        Now we actually don't talk at all. If I bring it up, he quickly changes subject. It's very typical of him.

      City will do well next season regardless of who is in charge.

      Of course, that person will be hailed as the new saviour and, in following seasons, when they only come 2nd in the league or only win one cup they will be sacked.

    It's not that the rules of FPL are complex. It's that people don't take the time or are particularly bothered about reading/understanding them. I wouldn't use that to determine if recovered balls were or were not a worthy addition. Bonus points shouldn't be removed because the majority don't understand them the same as recovered balls should not be omitted for the same reason.

      Not sure. He'll be a great early investment with Suarez banned, should Liverpool's fixtures be good and Liverpool don't buy another striker. But over the season Suarez will still be the main man and I think they'll take that into account. He is also injury prone and is not on penalties.

      I'd be surprised if he's above 9m. 8-8.5m much more reasonable.

        I think this would be a decent move for both clubs.

      I think Rooney will end up staying at Utd.

        Also, he wouldn't move to Spurs, especially without Bale.

        I doubt it he clearly did not settle down after the last time

      I think Rooney's wage demands will be the real clincher.

      Can't see Spurs, without champs league stretching to 200K plus. I can't see Rooney taking a pay cut. His destiny lies with those with deeper pockets - Chelsea, Man City, PSG most likely.

      Man Utd may well buy Bale but can't see Rooney being part of that.

        The more I think about it the more I can see him at Man City next season...there will be a big clear out at Man City to clear the way for the likes of Rooney.

      Clyne. I don't think Davies will start, and Newcastle are likely to score.

      sagna - nailed on, newcastle bad form and safe, best team out of the listed players and something to play for.
