Scout Squad

The Scout Squad – Gameweek 16

With three Gameweeks about to be shoehorned into nine frantic days, the Scout Picks selection committee are braced for a pre-Christmas frenzy.

But our ‘expert’ panel of Scouts appear ready for the rush, and they’ve gone big on Chelsea assets this week, with Marcos Alonso, Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata all receiving inevitable backing for the trip to West Ham.

By contrast, the Manchester derby is being viewed almost exclusively as a no-go area. Only Jonty is prepared to buck that particular trend, and even then his selection appears in the graveyard slot that is third-choice goalkeeper.

In fact, shot stoppers could well be a major bone of contention among our Fantasy hounds, with a whole cast of custodians up for consideration.

We’ll be back on Friday to see which players make the Gameweek 16 grade and in the meantime, here are the Scouts’ selections and justifications, logical or otherwise.

Peter Says…

Only Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero let me down last week in terms of midfield and attacking points as, unusually, all the other eight candidates did the business to a greater or lesser extent.

It’s just a shame I swapped my own team’s captaincy from Hazard to Kane at the eleventh hour.

With a few exceptions, I anticipate quite a range of suggestions from the Scouts this week, with no stand-out fixture when you consider Spurs’ ongoing trials at Wembley and the fact that Everton’s recent form suggests the Merseyside derby may not be a home banker for Liverpool.

Despite that, I do fancy Mohamed Salah to bring his one-match goal drought to an end on Sunday afternoon.

I also expect goals at the London Stadium, where I fancy the visiting Blues to continue their recent great form with Hazard, Marcos Alonso and Alvaro Morata dominating the attacking statistics.

Kane retains his place, but remains down in third place again despite his numbers and the prospect of yet another “easy home game”.

I’m going a little off-piste (given the homesick nature of his scoring thus far) by backing Alexandre Lacazette to continue to thrive on the creativity of a resurgent Arsenal which was highlighted in the recent Big Numbers article. Aaron Ramsey is a massive part of that creativity and joins his French team-mate.

Again, I have to resist the temptation to flood the squad with more premium players, with any number of Liverpool or Manchester City options tempting, while Alexis Sanchez will no doubt throw his arms up in disgust at being omitted.

Instead, I’ve gone for a budget-friendly spread from ‘lower’ teams, but my indecision is reflected by the fact that one or two of my attacking players are up against my defensive players – a cardinal sin in the eyes of many.

Last week I described Mamadou Sakho as the “bonus point hoover” and he duly returned eight points, including another two bonus. Selecting him for the second week in a row reflects not only the paucity of budget options this week but also Crystal Palace’s new-found solidity, with only one goal conceded in the last three Gameweeks.

Jonty Says…

Chelsea and Arsenal dominate my thoughts, as they prepare for away clashes against West Ham and Southampton respectively.

I’m expecting full support for my top-placed midfielder Hazard and number one striker Morata, given they scored 23 points between them at home to Newcastle last weekend.

The same applies to my selection of Alonso, who replaces my favoured Blues defensive option of Cesar Azpiliceuta; Alonso was rested for last night’s Champions League match so his start against the Hammers looks assured.

If only Manchester United still had Massimo Taibi in goal, Arsenal would have been looking at their greatest ever victory over their northern rivals when they met on Sunday. As it was, they lost 3-1 as David De Gea’s ‘worldie’ display saw off all but one of their 14 on target shots.

Fraser Forster will surely be having nightmares having witnessed the Gunners’ relentless attacking display, and I’m backing Arsene Wenger’s troops to make some early Christmas mincemeat of the Saints backline.

Among Arsenal midfield assets, Ramsey gets my vote over Sanchez due to value and a higher points per match average, with the Welshman registering 5.6 to the Chilean’s 4.8. Wing-back Sead Kolasinac’s four assists and a goal this season make him a shoo-in for me, while Lacazette’s seven shots on Sunday prove he is rewarding Wenger’s faith.

Sadly, Kane only makes third billing ahead of Stoke City’s visit to Wembley.

The Spurs talisman’s underlying statistics are on the slide. Over his last four matches he has more attempts (21) than any other player, but he is ranked just sixth for on-target shots and has only had two big chances over the same period. Hazard, by contrast, has had four big chances, and Sanchez six.

Elsewhere, I fancy West Brom’s trip to Swansea City to be this week’s source of cheap “magic beans”, with Wilfried Bony and Jay Rodriguez both considerations.

The Swans striker has racked up 10 shots over his last three starts and scored the opener against Stoke last time out.

Meanwhile, Rodriguez put in a highly promising display on the left flank in Alan Pardew’s debut match in charge, firing six penalty box efforts.

Paul Says…

I’m overlooking both Manchester clubs for the derby at Old Trafford this weekend and have rolled out a handful of differential gambles along with the usual suspects.

Similar to my selection in Gameweek 13, I’ve gone for Kieran Trippier as my Spurs defender for the visit of Stoke. The right wing-back has started all but one of their seven home matches and leads Ben Davies by 16 key passes to 10 at Wembley.

His team-mate Heung-min Son has also started all but one of Spurs’ Wembley fixtures – he’s second only to Kane for goal attempts at their temporary home and faces the second-worst defence in the Premier League.

Christian Benteke and Bony have plum home fixtures against Bournemouth and West Brom respectively.

The big Belgian has now completed back-to-back 90-minute appearances since returning from injury and his aerial threat could punish a Cherries defence that’s second only to West Brom for headed efforts against (40 to 42).

Partnered with Tammy Abraham away to Stoke last week, Bony netted his first of the season and fired five attempts to his fellow frontman’s zero.

New Baggies boss Alan Pardew was hardly renowned for his focus on defence while at former club Palace and I reckon that the Ivorian can deliver again as Paul Clement’s side go in search of a much-needed win.

Mark says…

My two top midfielders – Hazard and Salah – along with both Kane and Morata, surely pick themselves this week.

My faith in Kane remains and, while I’ll entertain the idea that his star is fading with Spurs’ form, I still look at Stoke’s defence and doubt their ability to shut him out at Wembley. One early goal from Kane and confidence could flow back into Spurs legs, and I’m not prepared to risk overlooking that prospect.

That quartet look settled, then. Job done.

Around them, I’m also backing Chelsea and Spurs in defence via wing-backs Alonso and Trippier. I’ve switched allegiance from Davies to the former Burnley man of late, with the quality of his delivery from the flank appearing to be a more assured source of assists based on recent “eye tests” and a study of the numbers.

I regret opting for Scott Dann over Sakho three weeks back and, ever since, the Frenchman has punished me with bonus returns each time. I fancy a third successive Eagles shut-out at home to Bournemouth, so I’ll be pushing hard for Sakho’s inclusion in Friday’s line-up.

I’ll also be endorsing opting for a four-man defence, with Alberto Moreno edging into contention having been rested at Brighton last time out. While Everton will arrive at Anfield with back-to-back wins and some confidence under Sam Allardyce, I’m wary that their tactics may curtail any attacking threat in a typically combative encounter.

But I expect Liverpool to prevail, which is why Roberto Firmino sits third in my selection of forwards., although I doubt very much that he’ll factor in Friday’s XI.

Indeed, Chris Wood is perhaps more likely to earn inclusion on the bench should we go with a 4-4-2. The Clarets will miss Robbie Brady’s supply, but I still feel there’s profit to be had from Watford’s defence at Turf Moor given the confidence in the Burnley camp.

The Community Champion

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 16 will be veteran Sliver, who is in his 12th season, with 2008/9’s finish of 22,208 his best to date.

The Community Champion who has the best lead over the Scouts during 2017/18 will win a £100 Amazon voucher (currently we can only offer Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com vouchers).

Gameweek 15’s champion Lord narrowly beat the Scouts 51-50, but the one to beat remains Gregor, who achieved victory over the Scouts by a 33-point margin in Gameweek 5.

  4. tvz32
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Seriously considering Coutinho for the armband...even though have the likes of Hazar, Salah, Kane and Morata in the team.

    Good choice or too knee jerky?

    1. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Kane captain for me

      1. tvz32
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Out of the lot, I am ranking Kane towards the bottom. Been burned too many times by him now. And Spurs have been suffering due to the poor form of Eriksen and Alli

      2. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years

      I'm not going to but not going to tell you which one to choose. all those you've mentioned are good picks and could so well, but I would say at least VC kane because hes the only one likely to play a full 90

    3. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Kane or Hazard for me

    4. Live Lad

          I don't recall the leader of the captain poll ever losing value before - might have happened, I guess.

          1. Gegenpress
            • 7 Years

            Keep a watch out for Kane, you'll recall it next time 😉

      Klopp said he reacted well after the game, so don't think it's serious.

        Thanks.
        Hoping for a quick recovery - brought him in before last gameweek (in which he didn't play).

        1. Gegenpress
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I reckon he won't play Everton but he'll be back the game after that

  11. Bonus magnet
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    rotation has been largely reserved for man City but with Salah,coutinho ,mane and firminho all firing is liverpool rotation now a big risk?

    1. The real slim shady
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I got 3 of them lol. If average of 2 plays each week im fine with it. Rotation will be less after christmas.
      Firm is a 8,5 striker being rotated instead of a 11 mil. Liverpool are shit at the back but one of the best attacks in europe. Back the rortaion up with RLC and DCL and you should be fine.

      1. Bonus magnet
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        for you that has 3 i guess you are at least covered but the rest with just one of say Salah or Mane will now have to do with 30 min appearances

    2. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      It has been already, would expect them all to miss a game or two over Christmas if they stay fit

    3. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Every one of the big teams will rotate. Just make sure to have a solid bench. Obviously Klopp's strongest 11 has all 4 of them in there, so I would imagine he would want to play them as much as possible to keep this momentum going.

      1. The real slim shady
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Liverpool need to hit top 4 again for CL next season or players will leave. So Klopp should play his strngest 11 alot now.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years

      I guess your Coutinho is my Hazard. Transferred him in 4 separate times last season and all I got was 2 goals. Hopefully this season can turn around for both of us 😀

          Hope I'm wrong. Got a season ticket and trust me neither are playing well.

      1. Neither
      2. Not sure if serious ...
      3. Hazard

        Don't fancy your mighty Hammers to nick a goal then, Doos?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Not really. Everyone is out of position, and Noble is not playing.

          1. Alan_T
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            I agree they need Noble at the moment, but i do also think the lack of pace in midfield has contributed to your downfall at times.

            What has happened to Kouyate this season? Looks a different player to the beast that first joined

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              He is half the player without Nobes, because he(Kouyaté) fears going forward. Our defence have become completely confused, and need a period of stability. This won't happen, while Hart is playing.

              1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                As to pace, it is the ball that has to move quickly, and the front runners, Lanzini etc., to get into space. They have not been doing that, apart from Ayew, sporadically.

                1. Alan_T
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 3 months ago

                  I always thought Sakho had good movement and provided options for the midfielders.

                  Surprised he's not getting a sniff.

                  1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    6 years, 3 months ago

                    Well, he has had a sniff. Unfortunately, he is very sulky, and has a bad demeanour, so I imagine that Moyes is reluctant.

          2. Big P
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Has Noble not played at all under Moyes?

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

      Courtois of course.

      Kane.

            Such a pain. Got my new years eve freed up as well with our game being moved.

            You buying into the dgw ?

            Might sneak lanzini in somewhere.

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Yep. Lanzini is the one to get. Unless Ayew is playing left, and/or Adrián is just playing.

              1. Big P
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 3 months ago

                Thoughts on Antonio by that point?

        2. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I personally can't think of a worse time to use a WC. Rotation is guesswork and in January, if you have had a bad time, the WC could cause total confusion.

          1. how now brown cow
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            In truth will probably go before Xmas to strengthen bench for this reason.

            1. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              I would do it now. Most people don't have a WC and you can tidy your side up nicely. Your side outside the * ones is good though. Silva not being a real problem. my biggest concerns are Citeh players who, up til now have been rotated and scoring well. I can't help but think the goals are drying up a little and points plus value will start to drop.

    2. Big P
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, especially if Silva is fit

    Is Silva to Richarlison a good move?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Wat = great fixtures... if silva is out yes. if it's a bluff from Pep... still probably a yes as the extra £££ can be used elsewhere

    2. FPL Virgin

      You need Richarlison, Zouma. Just get him.

    I watched the Pool game last night and to be honest I thought the scoreline flattering.
    It was amazing Moscva never scored 3 goals themselves.
    Taking nothing away from the forward line, but the fefense was awful ans was Moscva's
