Scout Picks Community Champion Vote – Gameweek 10

Good luck to all those taking part. I'll pop back again at 10am tomorrow to count up the votes.

Foster (4.5)

Coleman (6.9) Felipe Luis (5.4) Chambers (4.6)

Alexis (10.4) Hazard (9.9) Mane (6.9) Downing (5.7)

Welbeck (7.4) Lukaku (9.1) Aguero (12.6)

83.4

I have backed Arsenal, Cheslea and Everton to return at both ends in their plum home fixtures against Burnley, QPR and Swansea respectively.

I have chosen Sergio Aguero who, in his current form, should be able to score against a less-than-solid Man U backline in a traditionally high scoring derby.

Stewart Downing has become more threatening in a central position this season with an average of 2.9 chances created per match. Sadio Mane seems to be building up to the goal scoring potential we saw at Red Bull Salzburg, with impressive penalty area statistics.

Ben Foster I think is the best GK at that price range, with Leicester failing to find the net in the last two gameweeks.

Time for some no-nonsense stuff from the community. We've been caught out here trying to be too cheeky, too punty. This week we need some solid picks who can bring home the points.

Forster (hul)[5.2]
Baines (SWA)[7.1] | Filipe Luis (5.4)[QPR] | Chambers (BUR)[4.6]
Sanchez (BUR)[10.4] | Hazard (QPR)[9.9] | Sterling (new)[8.9] | Barkley (SWA)[6.7]
Costa (QPR)[10.9] / Rooney (mci)[10.2] | Welbeck (BUR)[7.4] | Berahino (lei)[5.9]

TV: 82.4 m

In a not far from likely scenario that Costa doesn't make it, I suppose Rooney, with his record in the derbies and City's defensive frailings, warrants a look in. Enough stash in the bank to do a Barkley -> Tadic/Mane in case we aren't convinced he'll start at the weekend.
I'll also try and have a quick poll, if possible, somewhere down the week; so the Community can have their say on the non-obvious picks.

About time we pass the Community torch onto safe hands(previous top 5k finish, currently in top 10k 😉 ) and stop getting burnt by its flame 😉

Mannone
Chambers Terry S.Taylor
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Downing
Aguero Welbeck Costa

I'm going for big hitters with a few small punts.
S.Taylor always has goal threat and Liverpool are poor at set pieces. Downing is in a rampant West Ham team and Mannone can't get any worse, playing away to CPL.

Big hitters - Front 3, with Hazard Sanchez. Eriksen plays better away from home

Enough is enough and it is time for Just a Hat to defeat all the scouts and listen to all other members of the site to cheer his name!

Speroni - A lot of options this week for clean sheets and I've gone with Speroni. Crystal Palace will be confident in keeping a clean sheet this week with Sunderland and there pathetic strike force turning up.

Chambers - He offers a cheap way into the Arsenal backline who welcome Burnley to the Emirates. With a clean sheet last week at Sunderland, Arsenal will be hopeful of a second clean sheet in a row.

Ivanovic - Will serve his suspension in the midweek Carling Cup game and looks guareenteed for a clean sheet against QPR. Chelsea will be attacking constantly as well so he could get attacking points as well.

Baines - Everyones favourite defender. You'd back him at HOME against any team.

Fabregas - Home against QPR, on fantastic form this season already. I've chosen him over Hazard for this week.

Moses - West Ham will arrive at Stoke, confident that they can get a result. Moses has been involved in a lot of Stokes goals so Mark Hughes will look to him to provide a spark in attack.

Sanchez - Fantastic form at the moment and I assume a lot of people will be bringing him in this week for the home clash against Burnley. Could grab a couple of goals in this fixutre

Diame - Has made a good start to his Hull career. Southampton are strong in defense but Hull will attack at HOME and Diame looks the best chance for a goal this weekend.

Costa - Home against QPR, should be back fit, no need to go into any more detail

Wellbeck - Wellbeck owners will be hoping that Wellbeck finally decides to score some goals this week. Burnely at home is the best fixture to start banging them in!

Lukaku - Lukaku and Everton are both starting to find form in the league and would look to continue it at HOME to Swansea

Ok here's my effort. Have Costa in for now, but would remove if the news is looking bad, possibly for Rooney or for Aguero.

Foster
Baines Felipe Luis Chambers
Sanchez Hazard Mane Sterling
Costa Welbeck Pelle

83.5

Had a bunch of votes last week but didn't quite get voted so thought I'd try my luck again this week.

Team for GW 10:

Forster (hul)
Baines (SWA), Chambers (BUR), Felipe Luis (QPR)
Sanchez (BUR), Hazard (QPR), Fabregas (QPR), Mane (hul)
Aguero (MCY), Berahino (lei), Eto'o (SWA)

Relies heavily on Arsenal/Chelsea and their easy fixtures, both in defence and attack. Baines needs to be there as does SOT defensive coverage with the best defence in the league.

Similarly, the midfield has the top Chelsea + Arsenal players, perhaps may need to add Costa closer to the date but for now with the info we have those are the 2 best options. Finally, we have Mane who is looking very dangerous, both stats-wise and performance-wise in a great Southampton side.

Aguero always scores in the derby, Berahino is an in form striker (playing against a poor Leicester defence) and Eto'o seems to be finding his feet and has a favourable fixture against a statistically weak defensive team in Swansea.

#3 Here we go:
Forster(5.1)
Baines(7.1) Chambers(4.6) Coleman(6.9)
Sanchez(10.4) Fabregas(9.7) Oscar(8.3) Mane(6.9)
Aguero(12.6) Rooney(10.3)
Cost= £81.9m with £1.6m for upgrade if required.

Forster - Jelavicless Hull don't seem a huge attacking threat even with Abel & Barfa
Baines - Recent returns speak for themselves
Chambers - Cheap route to Arsenal def v. Burnley
Ivanovic - Looking v. good for attacking returns w/ good fixture! Unlucky v. utd
Alexis - In great form
Mane - Looked very threatening, goal in last game
Hazard - Surely this is his week v. QPR
Brunt - Assisting almost every game, looks promising
Berahino - In top form against. Looks good for further returns
Aguero - It's Aguero
Pelle - Looking unstoppable

You all seem to know enough about the fixtures and form. Have a look at the team or regret later

Courtois (6.0)
Baines (7.1) / Bertrand (5.4) / Chambers (4.6) - 23.1
Hazard (9.9) / Sanchez (10.4) / Brunt (5.4) / Chadli (6.4) - 32.1
Aguero (12.6) / Pelle (8.3) / Welbeck (7.4)

Exactly 83.5.

Three top strikers, mostly playing against leaky defences. Attacking goal-scoring midfielders and defenders who both attack and play against not-so good going forward sides.

DEF:-
Speroni – Palace have had 2 CS until now both at home against Burnley and Leicester. They will be hosting A struggling and short of confidence Sundeland side on Monday night and I fancy them to rack up their 3rd CS for the campaign.

Ivanovic – Since Ivanovic will be suspended for the midweek COC game, he will available for the QPR game next weekend and with Azpi suspended is nailed on to start. He looked threatening yesterday against a well-organized Utd attack yesterday as well and almost scored. Easily the best RB in the league atm, he offers great opportunity of scoring points at both ends of the pitch hosting a not so free scoring QPR side.

Baines – Baines picks himself really at home to Everton in such good form. He offers points at both ends of the pitch as we know and is a BP magnet. With set-pieces also in his locker I fancy him to continue his great attacking form this coming week.

Chambers – He is my budget pick in the defence with Arsenal hosting a Burnley side shy in front of goal. If not for the Lukaku backpass yesterday, Burnley may have failed to score yet again. With a confidence boosting CS against Sunderland last time out I see Arsenal getting another shut out at home to Burnley.

MIDS:-
Sanchez – I think he picks himself this week. In good from and notched back to back past 2 GW’s and involved in everything that is good for Arsenal atm. On set-pieces as well.

Hazard – The past few weeks we’ve seen what Hazard is capable of. Fantasy wise he has been frustrating this season but he’s starting to pick up from and looking really threatening. I sense an imminent explosion With no news on Costa and presuming he won’t start, Hazard looks to be the main man for Chelsea.

Oscar – I’m opting for a double up on Chelsea mids as I can’t see a better option than Oscar. He has the stats from the past few weeks to back him up and I can see a route at the bridge and see Oscar being involved.

Diame – Everyone may not fancy him but 4 goals in the last 6 games for a CM is no mean feat. He seems to be at the heart of everything good that Hull are doing this season. He bombs forward a lot with Livermore and Huddlestone sitting back and dictating play. With Jelavic ruled out for some time and Hull playing only 1 striker up top, the onus will be on Diame to continue his goal scoring form. They seem to have quite a few goals in them and Anfield was the 1st time Hull blanked this season. Even though they host the in from Soton who can’t seem to put a foot wrong atm I reckon Diame will trouble them.

FWDS:-
Welbeck – He’s played well thus far this season and settled in well but hasn’t ahd as many goals in the PL to show for his efforts. He gets the perfect chance at home to Burnley with Arsenal picking up some form and Sanchez looking deadly. With a rejuvenated Wislhere, Ramsey and possibly even Theo returning he will get plenty of good service and seems a great bet to plunder in the goals for Arsenal.

Aguero – Aguero has been in scintillating form and I can’t see him blanking 2 times in a row. He was slightly unlucky against Wham and hit the crossbar. Utd still have problems in defence and even though they held their own against Chelsea I can see Aguero notching at least once against his city rivals.

Campbell – I pick Campbell as my budget forward pick against a depleted Sunderland side. Palace have shown us that they have goals in them and with Campbell being the Palace’s choice of striker and having notched up 3 goals already I fancy him to score come Monday night. Campbell has had 62% shots on target and 77% of them have come from inside the box with a total of 8 shots on target thus far this season. Not too bad and I fancy him to score.

TOTAL – 83 MN

Thanks if you got through the entire thing. I’ve been in good form past few weeks and fancy myself to continue this coming week. My picks for GW9 picked up 60 points which I believe is pretty good. Do vote if you like my picks. Cheers! 🙂

First time doing this, so maybe I will have 'beginners luck' 😉
Some solid picks combined with couple punts and some good value picks.

Forster (5.2)
Baines (7.1) - Filipe Luis (5.4) - Chambers (4.6)
Sanchez (10.4) - Hazard (9.9) - Oscar (8.3) - Mane (6.9)
Aguero (12.6) - Welbeck (7.4) - Campbell (5.2)
Team Value: 83

Forster: Southampton has the best defence in the premierleague with only 5 goals conceded in 9 games.

Baines: Set pieces, penalties aswell as great form.

Filipe Luis: QPR have only scored 6 goals in 8 games (before MNF against Villa), Chelsea conceded only 9 goals in 9 games.

Chambers: Burnley are relegation candidates and having only scored 5 goals in 9 games, Arsenal have good opportunity to get a cleansheet here even with all their injuries. Chambers could also play centre-back alonside Mertesacker which would suit him better and maybe increase his bonus point potential.

Sanchez: Inform, and 1 week rest with no Capital One Cup game for Arsenal Alexis looks to continue his fine start for Gunners.

Hazard: Shaky QPR defence offers great opportunity for Hazard to get some points. On penalties and flawless record on those for Chelsea (16 out of 16).

Oscar: Gaining some form with 2 goals and 1 assist in his last 4 Premier League games and with Chelsea scoring more goals this season, he could be great option when Chelsea host QPR at the Bridge.

Mane: Goal in each of his last two games in the Premier League. After playing 90 minutes against Stoke, he is very likely to start against Hull next weekend.

Aguero: In good form. Manchester City has great record in recent meetings against United and Aguero will be centre of good things for them.

Welbeck: Decent start for his Arsenal career, and most of his goals have come at Emirates (including hat-trick against Galatasaray). We can expect Arsenal to win Burnley and Welbeck to be amongs the points.

Campbell: Sunderland in terrible form, 10 goals conceded in last 2 Premier League games. 2 draws, 2 losses and 3 own goals in 4 away games this season. With Neil Warnock in charge we have seen Palace being good attacking wise, and I expect Campbell to be among the goals to add to his 3 goals this season in this Monday Night Football clash.

I appreciate every vote 🙂

Ok, I haven't given this a shot since the early weeks so here goes...

I've entered a team with 1/2 big hitters and 1/2 punts...

Courtois
Baines - Cresswell- Fonte -
Yaya- Barkley - Mason - Mane - Amalfitano
Campbell - Aguero - Lambert

Don't want to write an essay but here is a short explanation:
Courtois - Obvious pick, Chelski should keep clean sheet against QPR and don't see any of their forwards being good enough to beat the Belgian.

Defence - Baines is again an obvious pick, even if Everton concede he is an assist machine. Fonte is part of the emphatic Soton defence but I think he has more goal threat than the wing backs and is overlooked by many. Cresswell has been impressive lately and his delivery is much improved, both Hammers forwards are fantastic in the air and great targets to have.

Midfield - Although Yaya is a heavy hitter he hasn't reached last season's heights. There have been glimpses and I think in a big match scenario, like the derby, he will shine. Barkley is so influential and should start this week. Mason has been impressive and is a little punt. Mane is gathering form, as is Amalfitano who is another punt.

Forwards - Aguero is Aguero, enough said. Palace should destroy a poor Sunderland and that means goals for Campbell. Balotelli is absolutely shocking so Lambert should start and he CAN score when given the chance.

Give it an upvote if u like! Cheers!

If Costa is in Aguero > Costa, F Luis > Ivanovic

Please vote!!!!

Guzan 4.6

Felipe Luis 5.4 Chambers 4.6 Alcaraz 4.3

Fabregas 9.7 Silva 9.1 Sanchez 10.4 Ameobi 4.4

Aguero 12.6 Welbeck 7.4 Costa 10.9

Total 83.4

Reasons.

Spurs aren't playing well, I fancy Guzan to keep them out.

Defence - Arsenal and Chelsea look good for clean sheets against the bottom two and Alcaraz gets in an inform Everton team ahead of Distin.

Fabregas and Sanchez pick themselves while Silva is coming into some form. Ameobi is a budget pick but could cause a shaky Liverpool defence some problems, fancy him to start after the spurs game.

Aguero always scores against Man U. Costa and Welbeck look good for plenty of points at home to the bottom two.

So who's taking the most hits this weekend? And anyone get lower than 35 this week?
