Scout Notes – Gameweek 5 – Monday

Bought Kouyaté.

Not brilliant, but stopped me plummeting on Monday.

i ditched Payet for Ayew and planning to get him back by gw7. fml

My Hazard to Sanchez move for free is about as smooth as it gets for me. 1 point gained right there plus another 2 as it resulted in captaining Sanchez over Aguero - total of 3 points profit - boom!

I decided to save my FT and play 3 in midfield.
The key decision was to play a late captain for the first time this season, with the idea of doing it regularly.
My captain was indeed Mr Payet, who brought home 32 points, the rest of my team got 35, propelling my rank from 2m to 734k.
I was a bit bummed out that Ogbonna didn't play over 60 minutes and didn't get the clean sheet.
Lesson learned, my new relaxed attitude and punt captain choose has profited me greatly and I shall continue in the vein.

I benched Hoolahan and captained Aguero. 🙁

But had Payet and Mahrez 🙂

Benched Myhill. Played Guzan. Swing of 7 points.

Kept Payet cause on MNF 😎

Azpi to Kolarov worked.
Ozil to Pedro didn't.
Lesson learnt. Pedro price will not rise of all transfer ins are WC transfers.

Ditched Payet for Pedro

If I'd have kept Payet, I'd now be in the top 10k. Massive error, first huge one I've made this season.

The annoying thing was, I knew it was the wrong thing to do with Newcastle at home. The potential Pedro price rises (which ironically never happened), coupled with the fact West Ham had scored 6 goals with no Payet involvement had me concerned.

It's most annoying because it was exactly the fact that I avoided these sorts of moves that contributed to my success last year.

1) Keeping payet, in large part thanks to your good self Jonty who advised me to hold for just one more game, despite the allure of Ayew and price rise.
2) Transformed yet another miserable game week into a respectable 50 point finish with Richards and Targett stuck on my bench.
3) Keep good players showing form who have blanked. It would have been so easy for me to get rid of Payet, who was not involved in the last 6 hammers goals and is their main playmaker.

Payet > Ayew was my transfer.
Still managed to get a green arrow taking me into the top 1 million.

Is FPL slowly phasing price changes out of the game?

1. Armband on Kun - not that I'd ever play maverick with the armband and put it on e.g, Mahrez. He's obviously too cheap to be trusted with that ;-). Benching Cedric over Gomez also an oversight.
2. Since everyone else also captained Kun, just a small red (no Payet 🙁 )
3. Its slowly getting apparent to me that my initial strategy with budget defense with useless 4.5's and cheap GK's to allow for "big hitters" like Aguero, Sanchez, Hazard and Rooney needs reconsidering (in fairness, latter two now long gone from my team)

Key decision was not to transfer out Silva, as I had a free transfer, and just play Hoolahan instead.
Effectively saved me a free transfer and improved my overall weeks score by 11.

Lesson learned was not to knee jerk, plenty of people were telling me to get Pedro in, glad I stuck to my plan.

Captained Aguero. 4 captaincy fails if Rooney with 5pts doesn't matter. In 5 GW's my team has scored only 1 goal, WIlson last week. If that isn't rough, what is it...

After I read that Aguero has come off injured, I got up to grab a drink. As I got up I hit my foot off the the table and fell in agony. Now I've hit a few chairs and tables in the past but this one really hurt, those wee toes. Anyway I'm lying in the living room screaming with my little one standing there confused. I asked the wife for some frozen peas to to ease the pain. She was concerned too. After a couple of minutes with frozen peas on my toes and I'm still lying on the floor all I could say to the missus is "Aguero went off injured". She wasn't impressed 😆

I put Aguero as captain but thankfully Payet and Mahrez saved my GW, Mata and Kompany were also decent, but the rest are only players with 1 or 2 points...51 points in total, quite decent thanks to west ham and leicester's comeback

1. Two key decisions this week. 1) Benching Wilson and playing 3-5-2 instead of 3-4-3 with Payet, Ayew, Mahrez, Sanchez and Yaya. And 2) Of course, captaining Mahrez instead of Aguero was key.

2. With a score of 73 this week and 4 green arrows in a row, my rank has gone from from 2,038,359 in GW1 to 27,205 now. That's an increase of 2,011,154, basically I jumped over 2 million in a month. That has to be some kind of record. It's clear I had a terrible start, but my GW2 WC (1 week earlier than everyone else) and subsequent has put me at the top of nearly all my MLs.

3. Be patient with players, sometimes the best transfer is no transfer at all. Look at FFS stats tables and comparison tool for who to bench each week. Be aggressive if necessary, but always level-headed. And don't be afraid to captain outside the norm, especially this year.

Thanks FFS and posters for help and advice!

Rough and smooth. My lone transfer was Silva to Chadli, so I had another player on Sunday, and he did't add much--not particularly rough. My smooth decisions were (a) hanging onto Payet when others lost patience, (b) hanging onto Myhill when others said Lindegaard would definitely start, and (b) putting the armband on Mahrez. The best part about the Mahrez decision is that I made it earlier in the week, then switched to Aguero Friday night owing to persuasion on these boards, and then switched back to Mahrez at 11:30 because I felt I should stick to my original instinct.

890k to 149k

Trust my instincts, not groupthink, and be patient with players who look good but haven't been scoring.

Captained Aguero 🙁
Payet, Mahrez and Hoolahan in midfield 🙂

Sold Silva to Pedro to have a reason to watch the early Kickoff, a bit nervous not owning Silva now.

I was tempted to ditch Payet for Ayew but kept to h e a reason to watch the MNF.

After having Adrian sent off the week I brought him in, then I bought Courtois who also got injured....i finally brought in Gomes who got 9 points, 1st GK clean sheet of the season!

Captaining Sanchez over Aguero got me my highest captain score of the season with SIX points 🙂

2.45m to 1.45m rank....not quite party time....but I'm happy with a watford keeper and i don't need to make a sub this week either which is a 1st for 3 years.

TV of 102.7m means I should be well positioned should big-hitters start big-hitting.

1. Staying patient and keeping Payet trusting his underlying stats.
2. Went from 3mill to 1 mill.
3. Patience will always triumph over the wanton kneejerkers of which there are many on here you'll find.

Used my FT on Payet >> Ayew, 14point swing and yet another captain fail (Aguero)

Somehow managed 45points with a small green arrow to 400k ish

I couldn't decide whether to do Silva->KDB or Ward-> Jenkinson. Ended up making the wrong decision and brought in KDB only for him to be on the bench. Luckily came on early but only because Aguero (my captain) went off early.

I did have Payet which helped me move from ~1million to 500k in the rankings on Monday. The only downside is that my brother and arch rival captained him. Swine.

1) Kun or Mahrez captain (went C, VC). Oops
2) Rose to 35k OR (had Payet last night..). Guess another 10 points might have got be near 10k.
3) Need to think outside the Kun (Box). If he keeps getting taken out then I might reconsider my constant captaining!

Captained Mahrez .... benched Payet

I played my WC last weekend, I was hopeful, excited, looking forward to lots of points...

39 pts

🙁

Joy - Payet owner
Woes -. Took armband off payet for kun, benched ighalo
Lessons learned - None whatsoever

Sold Hazard for Pedro early in the game week, giving me a decent midfield of Pedro-Silva-Chadli-Mahrez for the week.

Silva's injury caused a unnecessary panic as with Silva out, I was leaving about 12.5m unutilized. Panicked a late wildcard...

Transitioned to a 3-5-2 on the poorly made assumption that Aguero is finally free of his random injuries. Bought Naughton, Begovic, Skrtel, Dawson, Ayew but sold Koscielny, Cedric, Targett, Chadli, Pantillimon.

Not many points lost - but now my team is in tatters as I have to decide whether to go 4-5-1 this week or sell Aguero for Benteke.

Lesson learned - it's fine to make early transfers in int'l week...but important to stay calm and not throw the baby out with the bathwater if a subsequent injury happens...could have easily benched Silva and played Targett.

Played my wildcard last week and was 30+ points down on the deal (I transfered out Cedric Mane Pelle Sterling etc) but my team was set up for a good game week this time around until Ward and Silva got injured so I transfered Ward for Shaw who would have got a clean sheet if it wasn't for Benteke's wonder goal and swapped Silva for Sterling who got injured also. I have Aguero who got injured early on and my first sub was Morrison who didn't play. I was around 14,000 place and now I am around 95,000.

I must be among worst transfers this week..
Payet+silva-> De bruene and ayew with barkley on bench waiting to come in for silva... 16+9->3+2..
And aquero captain...

Rough was taking a hit doing Payet and Diouf to Ayew and Gomis. Also playing Darmian over Richards.

Smooth getting Hoolahan points from the bench for Silva, if Silva was fit I would probably have missed out on those points

Smoothest of the smooth: This weeks top scorer played their triple captain chip and placed the armband on Rooney. BUT their vice captain was Payet....

1. Got rid of Silva and Diouf for a -8. I brought in YYT and Kane who did nothing.
2. I scored 39 (-8) so I got knocked out of LMS.
3. Don't take hits.

After weighing up the options made the Kompany -> Kolarov transfer on Friday only to feel gutted seeing Silva injured come up just as I'd completed the transfer.

This meant I'd have to play Payat who was going to be on the bench and no points from Silva. Suffice to say this ended up turning out very nicely with Kolarov getting 3BPs and Payat getting his 16 points that I'd have benched!

Rough and Smooth weekend for me...

Swapping Krul for Myhill 🙁
Payet captain 🙂

Still 200k ranking.. needs to improve soon!

Had the armband on Payet all week long, then listened to the Scoutcast on Friday and switched to Sanchez after Jonty's enthusiasm for his underlying stats got the better of me! (mind you he wasn't far away from bagging a brace himself)

Sanchez 3 + Payet 32 = 35
Sanchez 6 + Payet 16 = 22

13 Points difference would have given me a 73 point gameweek.

Lessons learned would be to probably look for potential captains playing out of form teams, even if they are not heavy hitters.

5 gameweeks down, I'm firmly rooted in the 1.4m rankings. I know that you and a lot of the community has had a ropey start so far this season, but I wanted to know if any of you guys have ever had worse starts in previous seasons? Did you turn it around, and, if so, how?

key for me was playing the AOA chip. If hadn't I would have had to choose between Ayew, Payet, Yaya, Sanchez & Mahrez and I would probably have chosen wrong. Giving the armband to Mahrez instead of a 'big hitter' was key too (first C points!)

Went from 1,106,352nd to 376,805th

Lsson learnt? Even proven big hitters have to be looked at critically and assessed on form.

Will be fun when that form returns though!

Had red flags on silva, ward, courtinho (who i brought in for mane last week), courtois (who I've had since gw1), and a yellow on diouf.

I made one transfer: Silva -> Sterling.
Aguero (C)
Dropped further towards 2 million

What could I possibly learn from this? Glad I didn't take a hit I suppose

My week was the definition of he rough with the smooth.

Smooth: decision to bench Diouf and play Hoolahan rather than sell him for Gomis, as well as deciding to give Payet one last chance before shipping for a city mid.

Rank change: 64 points for the week takes me from 800k to 300k ish.

Rough: last minute captaincy swap from Mahrez to Aguero

Lesson leaned: stop trying to make Aguero a thing, he'll start scoring when he's good and ready.

A tale of joy for one, and woe for the rest of us.

Had a look at the winner of this gw who triple captained Rooney, but to much avail he vc'd none other than Dimitri Payet. Next level maverick.

Bitta rough, bitta smooth. Took hoolahan out for kouyate (whyyy?), but kept payet thank Jaysus! Ended up with 60 points thanks to Kolarov, myhill, payet n mahrez but aguero captain

Moved up over 900,000 places. Lessons learned, season still random n maverick captaincy is definitely an option

The Smooth: Since I considered Aguero to be in the last chance saloon following his disappointing returns, I decided to bench him and captain either Kolarov or Mahrez instead. I thought about using my AOA chip so that I wouldn't have to hide behind the sofa, but decided not to. 🙂

The Rough: However, following his goals and assists for Argentina during the international break, I not only restored him to my starting eleven, I also gave him the armband again - and benched Payet instead. 🙁

The Lucky Break: But Silva got himself injured, so I benched him instead and Payet returned to my starting eleven. 🙂

The Result: Although I had my 5th successive captaincy fail, my 45 points from Payet (16), Mahrez (11), Kolarov (9) and Gomes (9) resulted in my OR improving by nearly 200k, from 445k to 247k. 🙂

Lessons Learned:
1. There's a lot of luck in this game.
2. Cheaper in-form players can get you more points than the more expensive but out-of-form 'big hitters'.
3. Sometimes it's better to do your own thing rather than following the FFS consensus.

A tale of woe to joy for me this game week. Having finished Saturday with a paltry 21pts. from 8 players, I feared my adventure inside the top 100k was almost certainly over. Then the Mahrez(c)/Payet double performed their weekend redeeming magic. With a further point from the hapless Tim Krul subbing in for the crocked Thibault Courtois, the round ended with me having accumulated 60pts. and a place in the top 30k!

1. The Mahrez armband was a key decision.
2. It propelled me, to deep in the depths of the top 100k.
3. Knee-jerks are for physical examines and mid-life crises, NOT FPL!

Contemplated switching myhill to lindegaard and payet to ayew, luckily held off on those moves and had diouf starting but saturday morning before my soccer league match (which we won 6-4!), I benched diouf and started hoolahan instead, scored 72 points this week with main points hauls coming from myhill, payet, hoolahan, mahrez and kolarov, ranking has soared from 750k to 100k.

What I've learned is that a bit of patience and luck goes a long way and that a late Saturday mornong reshuffle can make a difference

1. I had to bench one of these, Sanchez, Yaya, Ayew, Payet, Mahrez, Aguero, Gomis, Wilson.
Back and forth all week with the unlucky Payet missing out. Unlucky for me! Or bad judgement?
2. Ended with 41 for the week. Would have been around 56 with Payet in.
3. Have a bench fodder midfielder. Too many headaches!

I made Aguero my captain, who was subbed off after 25 minutes, made Mahrez my vice captain, and therefore missed out on eleven extra points, played Gomez over Nyom in defence, and so lost out on Nyom"s clean sheet, and brought in Ayew for Coutinho for a hit, only for Ayew to do nothing. I also brought in Gomis for Benteke, only for Gomis to also do nothing and Benteke to score a spectacular bicycle kick, and lose out on his six points for his goal. All in all, a total, total shocker of a week. The worst I've ever known in Fantasy football.

Sold Silva due to his injury, showed great restraint not to buy KDB as I thought Nasri would play instead as he did. Sadly I instead bought Sterling who also decided not to show up.

The need to get rid of Silva meant I couldn't do Ivan to Dawson which means Ivan is still rotting in my team; selling Koscielny over him in GW4 is looking sillier by the week).

Aguero captain naturally another failure but Mahrez, Kolarov and Benteke somewhat rescued the week to give me a 5th frankly mediocre GW in a row!

Call me bonkers but I probably getting Walcott back in after this week. Am I mad?

With so many big hitters playing so badly could De Bruyne be worth signing early? He looked very good against Palace and was unlucky not to get 2 assists!

Thoughts on the UEFA CL Fantasy game debacle?

Interested to hear what you guys think about this nonsense, coming from the governing body of European football.

Back 7.

Ruddy Rudd
Mertesacker Kolarov Cedric Francis Browning

Worth a hit to bring in Nyom/Dawson and Myhill this week or just one?

Will any of the scoutcast team be switching to 4-5-1 formation if Aguero is out?

Is FPL slowly phasing price changes out of the game?

Is Pedro worth keeping?

In this current FPL climate, is investing 'heavy' at the back a genuine strategy? Mid priced MFs are flying, monies freed up for a good backline. 451 / 541 anyone?

What are those?

WBA defenders worth getting?

is this the season where 3-4-3 is not working anymore?

should we will be considering a switch to 3-5-2 or even 4-4-2 in order to make up ground in the ranks?

Is it only a matter of time before the traditional big hitters start firing once more, or should we go and captain the form players, like Mahrez for example?
My front 3 is Gomis, Wilson and Aguero. And strangely I can't decide who to captain after this strange start to the season.

is it time to let go of Hazard? our we just clinging to old habits and seasons past when he has dominated?

Have 2 free transfers, is it worth getting 2 or 3 Liverpool players in for their next 2 home games?

The question:

Is it ok to waste a transfer sometimes? Have you ever been in that situation? I know Mark has been in the past and you didn't know what to do last week? Do you make the transfer just for the sake of it, or you just let it go..?

My team in example I don't want to sell nobody and have 2FT.

Cheers,

Last time Liverpool lost at OT they put in a string of solid results. With his back against the wall again, could BR play more attacking football? With NOR and AVL up next, worth getting Benteke or Coutinho?

Big different between Payet playing in the hole and on the flanks?!

Any Stoke midfielders worth getting if you already have Diouf?

Please discuss that imaginary Richards assist for Granville. Make him discuss it and admit it

Shaquiri or Arnautovic?

if we were to know aguero was definitely going to be unfit to play this gw and possibly the next would it be wrong to keep him on the bench? I think id do that and spend a free transfer reinforcing my bench with oxford to evans. (Already did alderweireld to nyom with my forst FT.)

Would like to know what Aguero news would make you think its worth actually transferring him out. I wouldnt want to be stuck trying to get him back in just a couple gws later!

I've ditched Aguero - and doubled up on Man City defenders (and the rare situation of 6.8m in the bank) , too risky?

Not exactly a scoutcast question rather more of an issue.
I can't seen to watch it live and was wondering if that's a YouTube formatting problem / a regional issue as I'm in Australia or because I'm using a Samsung galaxy s4?

Someone posted a very good post about how all forwards this year have turned into Costa baps wise. To get bonus points, they usually have to do more than score or assist a single goal even if it is the winning goal. Defenders, midfielders and even keepers are more favored than forwards after the change in bonus system.

Does this change in the bonus system signal the end of 3-4-3 as the best/default strategy? Is it time to play 4-4-2 and 3-5-2 more often? And should we be captaining defenders more often (especially the attacking ones like Kolarov, Shaw and Bellerin for example)?

Can you please bring Andy in the Scoutcast? He is doing something right. It will be lovely to see him.. He was there in the past

Why are there not more women on FFS and what are the Scouts going to do about it?

As far as I can tell there are only five girls on here: Christina, Ruth, Lucy, Annie and the one who likes American football and supports SWN.

Is Granville keeping Depay? Have faith in United?

Time to stop looking at heat maps and stats and just use our eyes and judgments of the game?

There are some very obvious players not performing ie Rooney, Depay, Pelle, Hazard, Chelsea defense, most of Liverpool, Kane. Some who are doing ok and not scoring ie Sanchez Aguero

Time to just use this information or still go into the stats. For me im using my judgement for a while

It seems defensive points are more predictable than attacking points. Is anyone considering playing more than 3 defenders at the back until things become clear?

Is captaining an attacking defender with an easy fixture a viable strategy?

Is it fair to say that there has been a paradigm shift this season, and that fixtures are no longer a reliable guide to fantasy football success?

Before the beginning of the season pundits were talking about the rise of the Premier League's middle and lower classes on account of the massive TV money floating around. This seems to be how things are panning out, yet many FPL managers (including myself) are failing to acknowledge the new reality. Or are we actually right to expect things to return to "normal" any week now?

Some people suggest the sample size is too small to draw any conclusions, but 5 games represents almost 15% of a season. That not an insignificant amount of data.

What did you care about most when you were 10 years old?

With European football imminent, which teams do you think will be most affected by their mid-week efforts?

Personally, I think united could struggle with their squad. However, Liverpool could use it to get some much needed confidence. Either that or completely ruin them....

Myself like most getting the captain wrong every week is it time to go left field and not back the big hitters Sanchez/Hazard/Aguero ect and go Wilson/Mahrez/Kolarov form/fixtures over heavy hitters?

I got in pedro for silva. Should i get silva back now for pedro and just suck up the loss? Alternatively, bring in kolarov to sit alongside kompany as 3rd city player (other being aguero) and keep pedro (praying that he'll produce points against arsenal)?

Keep up the great work guys!

Though it appears that stats mean nothing this season, could it be argued that we just need to interpret them more carefully?

For example, Sanchez's 50+ touches in the box has become a comfort blanket to his owners, but a more careful analysis of this statistic might reveal that this abnormally high number actually explains why so many of his shots have been blocked (14 out of 28). He is simply taking too many touches!

Far from statistical research being irrelevant this season, I actually think those who really do the hard research will be more rewarded than ever.

Who would be your maverick or differential captain pick this week?

Defence question: Is there any hope for Leicester or Norwich defence/gks this season? No cleansheets yet and highly owned by FFS

What are you planning to do with Gomez after GW7 ?

L'Pool: eve, tot, SOU, che, CRY, mci, SWA

Liverpool's fixtures are looking bad for a few weeks (GW14 to GW20 looks good again, but not sure Gomez will still start by then), normally I would just let him on my bench but the problem is Darmians fixtures are also bad at the same time:

Man.Utd.: ars, eve, MCI, cry, WBA, wat, lei

I guess many are in the same position.

Another one:

Who is the best Watford defender to get ?

Nyom, Prödl or Cathcart ?

Thanks !

What to do about Depay ? Shoudl I wait a little longer , he has sunderland coming in 2 weeks , or not worth it , with Payet and other options lurking ??

What should I do with the forgotten man? Harry Kane of course.

With Aguero looking likely to miss this weekend the importance of having a Man City mid in your squad for their upcoming fixtures seems crucial. But which one? Toure/De Bruyne/Silva/Sterling?!?!

Should we be considering captaining Aguero with no form and potentially being a doubt for the weekend?

I'm thinking Benteke or Wilson instead...

Woops, put this in Rough with the Smooth by mistake:

5 gameweeks down, I'm firmly rooted in the 1.4m rankings. I know that you and a lot of the community has had a ropey start so far this season, but I wanted to know if any of you guys have ever had worse starts in previous seasons? Did you turn it around, and, if so, how?

How are you guys feeling about your wild cards now? Still happy? What would you give yourself out of 10

Is double City defence a viable short-term strategy until one of Sterling/Yaya/Silva/KDB emerges as the stand-out City midfield pick?

I sort of accidentally happened upon it two weeks ago and since then Sagna + Kolorov double up has got me:

18pts + 16pts

...in the 2GWKs.

Everton don't seem to mind their tough run of fixtures and their defenders look imperious without Baines.

How seriously are you considering Everton assets this season? Still waiting for the smoother fixtures?

OMG Jonty... Hoolahan on the bench!!

Did the Pedro bandwagon last just 2 weeks?
Should he be sold?

2 questions:
1.Do you guys think Myhills no.1gk position is now guaranteed until Foster returns?

2.Captaincy options - it's becoming very difficult to pick a captain for this coming gw, with the big hitters not performing, should we start taking punts on the cheaper options?

Why is Aguero on top of the captain poll when he's not even fit? Please answer that in the Scoutcast Jonty. Also 9:15PM What time zone ???

Mark, Stanville & Jonty,

Of all the misfiring big-hitters in the first 5 game weeks of the season, which player(s), in the opinion of the objectivity laden Brains Trust, have the greatest chance of turning up and performing to schedule, come season end....and which the greatest chance of proving a season long flop?

I'd guess at Kun Aguero being most likely to come good and have performances match his price tag and England's record goalscorer, Wayne Rooney is most likely to have proven the biggest disappointment come the end of the season.

City defence..

Thoughts on doubling up?

Have showed excellent form, with potential for BAPS and attacking returns. Kolarov and Kompany/Sagna look good for the foreseeable. Especially with Shaw now out, many will be looking to replace him with another premium, week in week out defender.

The City midfield is an issue IMO. KDB has added to what was already a plethora of FPL options. Chances are he will take points away from the likes of Silva. There's also Sterling and Yaya to contend with. As well as the odd Fernandinho thunderbolt or through ball picking up some points (not saying he is a viable FPL alternative). Not all of them will score well. It's a lottery picking any of them, and there will be times when some score and others don't.

Thoughts on captaining defenders too? Especially players like Kolarov; probably my captain this weekend.

How long do you expect Shaw to be out for and who will deputise for him?

How much is his absence likely to affect United?

I know it looks like the season has started like a mixed bag, but do you guys feel though a lot of the guys at the top end points wise are just people who have burned their chips like triple captain and bench boost already?

Looking into Crystal Palace now that their fixtures have turned for the better. Is there defense worth investing in? Which attacker stands out atm?

Why does Myhill score so poorly in your RMT (members section)?

Why isn't Watford goalkeeper Gomes, who is in outstanding form in home matches, on the Watchlist?

Congrats Siva 😀
