Scout Squad

Scout Squad – Gameweek 14

Our Tuesday evening regular returns once again, as we give you an early heads-up on our Scout Picks thinking for the Gameweek ahead. This list of 22 players will also include some names in contention for a place in our Spot the Differential article, though will, of course, be subject to change, depending on the injury situation as the week unfolds.

For Gameweek 14, here’s the players currently on our radar…

Goalkeepers

Ahead of a favourable match-up against Sunderland’s underwhelming attack, Jack Butland (4.7) serves as the prime route into a Stoke defence that recorded five clean sheets in the last six Gameweeks. The England international scooped six bonus points in his previous trio of outings and is our clear frontrunner in the shot-stopper department for the weekend’s fixtures. Watford’s Heurelho Gomes (4.7) will fancy his chances of rebuffing an Aston Villa offense that’s scored one goal in their last trio of home ties.

Defenders

Alberto Moreno’s 4.9 price tag renders him the most attractive route into a Liverpool rearguard that next plays host to a floundering Swansea City outfit (three blanks in five outings). The Spanish left-lays claim to a solitary assist but has fashioned key passes at a better frequency (one every 40 minutes) than any other defender,

Scott Dann (5.2) will look to make amends for his blunder against the Black Cats when Crystal Palace welcome Newcastle United – who’ve netted once in four outings – to Selhurst Park. Like Moreno, Dann stands a great chance of making the final cut for our starting XI in Gameweek 14.

Norwich have recorded just two goals in four matches prior to their home clash against Arsenal, ensuring that Hector Bellerin – as the chief marauder in the Gunners’ back line – remains on our radar.

Notwithstanding West Ham’s heavy defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, Aaron Creswell (5.5) – who’s already just one assist shy last year’s haul (four) – could profit from their enticing home match-up against West Bromwich Albion.

Aleksandar Kolarov (6.3) delivered an assist last time out and remains the most likely source of attacking returns from a Manchester City defence that will be desperate to bounce back when Southampton pay visit.

Everton’s 4-0 victory over Villa marked their first clean sheet since Gameweek 6, alerting us to their defensive prospects throughout an agreeable Christmas schedule. Seamus Coleman (5.9) grabbed his second assist of the campaign against the Villains and will be keen to open his scoring account against a Bournemouth rearguard that conceded six goals in their last two home matches.

Midfielders

Philippe Coutinho (8.4) has flourished under the tutelage of new boss Jurgen Klopp, chalking up four goals, one assist and nine bonus points in his last trio of starts. Should he shrug off the hamstring problem that forced him off early against City, the Brazilian looks nailed-on for our midfield.

In acknowledgement of Alexis Sanchez’s four consecutive blanks, the consistent Mesut Ozil (9.1) is our top pick among Arsenal’s midfield contingent and sure-fire starter for our team. Elsewhere amongst the big hitters, Kevin De Bruyne (10.7) has notched just one assist since Gameweek 10, though remains in contention as we’re likely to go without Sergio Aguero for the visit of Southampton.

Riyad Mahrez (6.7) faces a tough home match-up against Manchester United, yet he’s posted only three blanks across 12 appearances this campaign. Yannick Bolasie’s (6.1) sporadic returns make him a tricky player to judge, but the Eagles’ home tie against Newcastle offers the perfect platform for the DR Congo international to excel.

Tottenham’s exceptional form (12 matches unbeaten) and threat in the final third (13 goals in four outings) shines a brighter spotlight on their chief orchestrator, Christian Eriksen (8.4), ahead of a home clash with Chelsea. The Danish midfielder bagged a brace of assists against the Hammers and could be set to profit if Spurs can prolong Chelsea’s dreadful road form (one win in six).

Ross Barkley earns the nod for Everton’s trip to Bournemouth. The Toffees playmaker arrives on the back of last week’s 19-point haul and faces a defence with a single clean sheet to their name so far.

Favoured over Glenn Murray at the central striker berth, Joshua King (4.6) delivered on his budget potential against Swansea with his maiden goal for Bournemouth. The Cherries’ renewed confidence stands the Norwegian marksman in good stead ahead Everton’s visit to the south coast, given that the Toffees’ defence have a single clean sheet in seven.

Manuel Lanzini (5.4) – who scored a late consolation goal by virtue of some nimble footwork – was arguably the sole positive note for the Irons at White Hart Lane. The Argentine midfielder boasts three goals and two assists in six starts and could thrive in a central role now that Dimitri Payet’s vacated the number-ten berth.

Forwards

With seven goals in his last four, Harry Kane (9.5) seems a certain Scout Picks starter ahead of a home encounter with Chelsea that saw him produce two goals and a pair of assists in a 5-3 win on New Year’s Day last term.

By that same token, the form of Romelu Lukaku (four goals and two assists in three) and Jamie Vardy (12 goals in 10) means that we are very likely to be rolling out a 3-4-3 formation this week. The latter faces the trickiest match-up, but Leicester City will be determined to aid his quest to break Ruud van Nistelrooy’s scoring record.

Our decision to include the above-mentioned trio is likely to leave no room for Sergio Aguero (13.1) this Gameweek. The former Atletico Madrid frontman showcased his unparalleled class with a sublime finish on his return from injury, yet his minutes are likely to be managed by Manuel Pellegrini and Southampton are unbeaten on their travels.

Odion Ighalo (5.6) has directly contributed to all but one of Watford’s last 10 league goals, carding six goals and three assists for the Hertfordshire club. The Nigerian forward will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing a Villa defence that shipped 11 goals in their last five matches and has tallied just two clean sheets across the season.

On Standby

Looking beyond those players at the forefront of our thinking, Roberto Firmino (8.0) could well make the Scout XI if Coutinho fails to shake off his hamstring complaint. The Brazilian delivered a tacit message of intent against the Sky Blues with an excellent performance that yielded one goal and two assists.

Marko Arnautovic (6.0) is enjoying his best season in a Stoke strip from a scoring perspective (three goals in 11 outings) and could punish a Black Cats defence that’s registered just one home shut-out. Nathan Ake (4.4) comes out of the leftfield but his impressive second-half display against United suggests he’ll return to the Watford starting XI for the trip to Villa.

We return to the Bournemouth midfield to select Dan Gosling for their home encounter with Everton. Since Eddie Howe moved to 4-1-4-1 in Gameweek 11, the 4.4-priced Gosling – who scored against Swansea last weekend – has produced more touches (23) and shots (nine) inside the box than any midfielder in the top-flight.

The Community Champion

Having scrapped the weekly vote idea from last season, we now operate a lottery system to pick our weekly candidates. The community member who beats our picks by the biggest margin over the campaign will win a £100 Amazon Voucher and a place in our Contributors and Moderators League for the following season.

Gameweek 13’s community champion Jossy narrowly lost to the Scout Picks by 48 points to 49. Massive stays in the lead to claim the £100 Amazon voucher, then, after beating us by 16 points in Gameweek 6.

Gameweek 14’s Community Champion as selected by our lottery, is Trust John. He is now in his sixth season and already has two top 10,000 overall finishes under his belt.

In addition to a shot at the £100 Amazon prize, FantasyBet are offering a chance for further prizes to Community Champions that are eligible to play their games. More details can be found here.

    Is not having Ozil going to hurt me?
    I have Sanchez.
    Debating the following 3; Ozil, Countinho(if fit) and Firminho.

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You will miss ozil at long term

  4. GHB
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    What's people's thoughts on my current team? Started to panic after moving from 50k to over 150k and wondering whether I need to sort my team as Ozil, Lukaku and Kane just aren't stoping...

    Team for next week with 0 in the bank is below. Yaya going for Mane or Eriksen the week after I think as already brought in Kun

    Butland (McCarthy)

    Smalling Nyom Bellerin (Rojo, Oxford)

    Mahrez Sanchez (c) KDB Walters (yaya)

    Ighalo Kun Vardy

    1. rozzo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Stay away from mane. Walters and yaya to lanzini and ozil if you can.

    2. Johan Queef
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      As a Mane owner, I wouldn't recommend getting him. He's been a pain in my arse since having him. I'd prefer Yaya to Cout or Firmino considering Liverpool's fixtures.

      1. GHB
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I just feel he is going to have one of his streaks soon, just as everyone sells.

        1. Johan Queef
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          He's probably due but I have a bit of hate for him after the last few weeks so will be looking elsewhere myself!

          1. GHB
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Eriksen definitely worth having I think if you're being stubborn with Mane

            1. Johan Queef
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Haha stubborn! Yeah I like Eriksen, particularly as I don't have Kane yet. Currently trying to work out what moves to make myself.

              DDG (Hennessey)

              Kol, Moreno, Monreal (Dier, Francis)

              Sanchez, KDB, Mahrez, Ozil (Mane)

              Ighalo, Vardy, Lukaku

              Only have 1FT this week - would like Kane and a Liverpool mid ideally.

              0.9 ITB.

              1. GHB
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                Really nice team, would be tempted to save transfer this week.

                Maybe look to shift Kol with rotation looming, but with a decent bench I would keep that transfer this week mate.

              2. GHB
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                Also good to keep if you want Kun in soon...

                1. Johan Queef
                  • 10 Years
                  8 years, 11 months ago

                  Thanks mate, I think I will hold on this week. Can reassess again this time next week.

                  1. GHB
                    • 13 Years
                    8 years, 11 months ago

                    Yes I would for sure with that team.

                    GL this game week.

                    1. Johan Queef
                      • 10 Years
                      8 years, 11 months ago

                      Cheers and you!

  5. Sex and drugs and Carlton C…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Mane to Ozil for a -4? would give me a front 8 of:

    Sanchez KDB Mahrez Ozil Bolasie
    Lukaku Vardy Ighalo

    1. samaael
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I think KDB, more cash for quick Aguero move

      1. Sex and drugs and Carlton C…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, that was my other candidate. Do you think KDB might pick up a bit with Kun back though?

    2. Usmanov
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      If you don't have enough money to upgrade Iggy to Kane later on, it means you have spent too much on your defence

      1. Sex and drugs and Carlton C…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Current defence is:

        Bellerin Moreno Sagna Williams Cedric

        So will need to downgrade somewhere to bring in Kane after Iggy's good run ends.

        1. Usmanov
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Only Bellerin and Moreno deserve to remain imo. Check out Souare, Evans/Dawson, Ake, Wollscheid, Simpson...

          1. Sex and drugs and Carlton C…
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks, will definitely be taking some hits over the next few weeks!

    Alexis Sanchez this season:

    • No goals first 8 games
    • 7 goals in 4 games
    • No goals in 7 games
    • 2 goals vs Dinamo

    Start of another run?

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      As streaky as Cookstown bacon.

    8 years, 11 months ago

    OPINION, PLEASE!

    On WC sold Sanchez for Ozil, but thinking again will lead me to choose between:
    A) Giroud, Firmino
    B) Deeney, Sanchez

    Attack is Lukaku and Kane; Ozil, Coutinho, Mahrez, Barkley

    (Kun is coming on 16 anyway)

  10. Spike ⚽️
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is Darlow first choice for Newcastle now he's fit or will Elliot keep his place ?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Don't think we'll know until Darlow is fit

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He is fit - tthat's what my post says

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Is he match fit though?

    2. Demí
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I think Elliot will keep his place this week Spike, although hard to know whether Darlow is first choice until the lineups this weekend

  11. Wild Rover

    19ptr tonight had it been FPL

    1. Gooner97

      Stoke at Home last year.

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No one in the PL is as bad as Dinamo though

  12. samaael
    • 14 Years

    Get rid of KDB or Mane for Ozil for a hit? KDB I am thinking. More money in the bank

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Mane for me. Depends if you need the casho

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

      Mane

      Mane, kdb could rack up the points this gw

    I have a feeling those who sold Alexis are gonna regret it this weekend 🙂

    1. 420king

      I got the same feeling, so I kept

      Considering armband vs Norwich

      1. Usmanov
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Could pay off. Mine is on Lukaku

    3. internal error

      I wonder where you got that feeling from

      1. Usmanov
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        From looking at the goals and assist he got tonight

  14. RangerMouse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Butland
    Dier - Bellerin - Moreno
    De Bruyne - Sanchez - Firmino - Willian
    Kane - Lukaku - Ighalo

    Subs: Henessey, Simpson, Zouma, Mahrez

    Team with wildcard, 1.3mill ITB, Like De Bruyne but probably better options, also Willian could go. Any thoughts on what to do?

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Willian > Duelofeu (sorry for spelling)

    2. rjcv177
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      WildCarder also
      KDB slowing down, look for Ozil (every attack thru him).
      I wish i had the balls to go Depay, United will face some troubled defense in the following weeks.

      Every decision has to start with to Kun or not to Kun, and then start building around 😉

      1. RangerMouse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I have got no Kun, but it feels wrong. I need a Man City player, or at least I feel I do. Firmino -> Ozil?

    3. Evasivo
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Change keepers

    4. Swanremainsthesame
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Set yourself for Aguero purchase in 1,
      or set yourself not to have him & spend elsewhere.
      Oh & Zouma/Simpson ?? surely better options at that price,( like Shawx/Ake)

      1. RangerMouse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Not sure on Ake, but I do agree I can do better than Zouma/Simpson.

        And a huge boost to ours 🙂 3pts off top with a game in hand.

        1. Spike ⚽️
          • 13 Years

          You've done well since the Peshisodini days

          1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah. Just a shame we've been constantly worrying about our manager leaving to any open position ever since!

  16. Zizoulicious
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Well the captaincy options for this week keep increasing with Sanchez getting back some form. Looking forward to this GW for sure!

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez would be a very sensible differential to lukaku.

      Very tempted

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Seals it for me.

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          If you own all 3 the risk isn't massive.

          1. Hibbo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            It's a risk I'm willing to take.

            The templates gone a bit stagnant.

            Have to punt on a differential captain.

            1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              I agree. I'm scoring well but getting very little movement... 66 this week and only went from 67k to 63k. Got above average for top 10k and got a red arrow last week!

              1. Hibbo
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                Could be a bit of movement in ranks if the Vardy party ends soon.

                For now I'll rely on captaincy hitting and defensive points as differential.

                1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 11 months ago

                  Hope so, will just get rid of kdb and get a cheaper mid + kane

                  1. Hibbo
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 12 Years

                    Could prove an excellent move.

                    What you think of Coutinho?

        2. Zizoulicious
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Still think Lukaku is a safer choice atm. But that means I'll end up captaining Sanchez!

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I'll mix it up a bit.

            Bournemouth and Norwich have similarly poor defensive last four stats.

            Just got to hope its Sanchez's week. Could be gold.

            Points last week vs points this week... Sanchez could tear Norwich apart

    We need a scout article on the pros and cons of Coutinho or Firmino. Such a hard choice.

    1. Zizoulicious
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I said this during the game on Saturday 🙂 But then Coutinho's injury swayed me

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        His injury is a concern but seems likely it is just minor.

        Firmino I think would be more explosive but he has to be under the most threat for game time with Sturridge and Benteke looming. Even if Firmino starts surely he gets subbed early for one of them?

        1. Zizoulicious
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I wouldn't like to take a chance, even on a minor hamstring injury. But yeah he'd be the safer option given he is completely nailed and been playing well in the prem for a while.

          Am concerned about Firmino not getting 90 mins.. Just hope he gets the goals while on the pitch!

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah I suppose you're right about the injury. Firmino is far from guaranteed game time but his potential explosiveness tempts me massively.

    Wenger on @Alexis_Sanchez: "He is just a very important player. We have real strikers in @_OlivierGiroud_ and Alexis."

      Possibly as a longterm transfer. Cheksea's fixtures are nice but I wouldn't bCk them for a clean sheet against anyone atm

  23. The Raging Bull

    Note, Arsenal play Norwich on Sunday not Saturday, therefore, that's a 4 day rest for Sanchez. Should be fully charged and ready to go against Norwich. Captain material for sure.

      Added to that I added up average points from my MIDs versus FWDs this season, MIDS outscoring for me by 40%, yet Ive been captaining the FWDs - !!!! Oooops

      Of course I do keep buying FWDs just as they blank at the end of a good run and a couple of weeks before going out red - spoiler alert I bought in Lukaku this week, so there's another strong pointer for Sanchez.
