Digest

The Digest – Gameweek 5

A Baggies attacker, a consistent Everton and a volatile market that’s showing the door to a goalscoring legend. We say goodbye to Gameweek 5 with a tale of the unexpected…

The Player

Immediately filed under “promising, must monitor”, Nacer Chadli was always going to be an interesting option once he’d made the move to West Brom.

An erratic Fantasy asset while at White Hart Lane, the Belgian nonetheless demonstrated the ability to spark to life in the box, raiding for goals and suddenly turning a forgettable average six out of ten performance, into a match-winning display.

That wasn’t the case in Gameweek 5.

On Saturday, the Baggies record signing carried the game to West Ham from the kick-off; Chadli single-handedly transformed West Brom from a ponderous, impotent attacking force to a team that bristled with threat.

His two goals and two assists have immediately brought him to the attention of the masses but, distracted by leading lights elsewhere, he’s yet to register the transfer interest Saturday’s points tally deserves.

We still have reservations. It’s still difficult to trust West Brom’s potential to score goals: we can hardly make a judgement based on a single performance against a beleaguered Hammers defence.

But with penalty duties unexpectedly tucked away in his locker, Chadli is clearly alive and back in the game.

Another handy mid-price candidate to call upon once West Brom’s schedule softens.

The Team

Five Gameweeks in and Everton’s recognition as a Fantasy force is already long overdue.

While Everton barely had to break into their third gear to see off Middlesbrough, it’s clear that they have become a very different proposition under Ronald Koeman. The Dutchman has revived their Fantasy assets.

We’ve already dwelt on the appeal of Romelu Lukaku.

While we remain wary of a player that has teased us for so long, his displays and output thus far have given us every reason to believe that we will see him make another stride towards genuine heavy-hitter status. A true challenge for the Golden Boot is on – 25 goals perhaps a realistic target.

But the supporting cast also warrants attention.

At the back, Seamus Coleman’s fine opener against ‘Boro was his reminder of his six-goal season back in 2013/14.

While we’re willing Leighton Baines to rediscover his returns from bygone years, Coleman has the legs on the left-back and could yet emerge as the stronger option.

Then we add Ashley Williams – a statistical monster who can potentially offer an even cheaper route into covering Everton’s new level of resilience.

In midfield, Koeman has added Yannick Bolasie on the right and appears to be investing faith in Kevin Mirallas on the opposite flank.

Both have the talent to provide us with mid-price options – particularly for those who still baulk at the concept of Ross Barkley following Lukaku’s lead in shaking off his frustrating inconsistencies.

The Talking Point

The mighty really are falling.

Eden Hazard’s price has tumbled 0.2 in the space of 48 hours with thousands of owners panicked at his meagre returns with Manchester City’s midfield assets sparkling.

Three points over his last two Gameweeks, plus an alarming decline in his underlying numbers, has provided the catalyst for what some would describe as a knee jerk reaction.

Last season’s decline will have also spooked some – we’ve seen how severely Hazard can regress; three encouraging Gameweeks has clearly not been enough to win back our trust.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is close to mirroring Hazard’s sudden collapse.

Triggered by Manchester United’s current malaise and Sergio Aguero’s return, Ibrahimovic is being mercilessly shown the door at pace, despite returning a goal or an assist in four of his five Gameweeks.

It fits the profile of the season discussed in last week’s ScoutCast.

The transfer activity of the last ten days is typical of a campaign that will see heavy-hitters frequently slide in and out of favour.

Last season we sat on the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and Dele Alli because they provided such value: we were wary of selling them and absorbing a big cash loss and, given their price and a lack of alternatives, we could afford to sit tight.

With big funds tied up in both Hazard and Ibrahimovic, this is not the case. FPL managers will feel compelled to act quickly, driven by a market where every 0.1 counts.

The money tied up in failing heavy-hitters can be used to carry out significant surgery, or to move to the next big name edging into form and rising in price. There’s been a constant supply of those so far.

Regardless of the trend, many will sit still, discounting toughening fixtures for both Hazard and Ibrahimovic, backing them to punish the fickle amongst us.

It remains to be seen who will win out. But one thing is certain: the short-lived shelf life of the big hitters is already making for a fascinating season.

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

    which one are you:

    (1) template strong Front 8 with Capoue as a 5th mid
    or
    (2) Snodgrass - Capoue as 4th & 5th mid (Snod could be sb else in 4.5-6M bracket, depending on TV)

      2 - But I think Snoddy counts as part of a strong front 8!

      Everything is pointing towards an Ibrahimovic backlash.

      1. Cecil The Lion
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Did you keep?

        1. goriuanx
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Sold. He'll do well, but I rather have Aguero + cash elsewhere.

          1. Cecil The Lion
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Fair enough

    5. LewanGOALski
      • 13 Years

      Ibra & Baines / Lukaku essential then 😉

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Dont forget cazorla/hazard 😉

        1. LewanGOALski
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I hope it's Sanchez rather than Caz 😉

          1. Stats Don\'t Lie
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Wenger said its caz. Guess itd be better for chelsea if it was sanchez.

    6. Sjaugen
      • 9 Years

      Dean should be a bit stricter at handing away pens hand over fist from the player duels at dead balls.
      Heard a rumour that he got a bit flak for two really dubious calls due to the new rules

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I don't see why he should get flak. It's been clear that in his last two matches the players have been leaving each other well alone at corners. Wasn't that the idea?

    7. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Eden captain

      1. Cecil The Lion
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Oscar's turn next

    8. Arteta
      • 9 Years

      Sooo ... penalty for Leicester! Vardy/Mahrez/Slimani essential 😉

    9. Jøssy ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Come on Baines!

    Please help. Current team:

    Stones, Collins, McCauley, Amat,Valencia
    Capoue, Hazard, Mane, Sterling, Antonio
    Iheanacho, Ibrahimavic, Lukaku

    Which is best:

    1.Iheanacho-Aguero
    Hazard-4.5 (Marney) play Capoue -4
    2. Save FT bench Hazard
    3. Hazard-Firminho, Iheanacho-Slimani, Ibrahimavic-Aguero -8
    4.Hazard-Sanchez, Iheanacho-Aguero, Ibrahimavic-under 6.3 striker (Austin?) -8 and play 3-5-2.

        1. Its what i have done. If it doesnt work out then you can easily drop a big hitter and redistribute the cash else where. Go hard or go home is my moto.

      • Arteta
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What if you save FT and bench Iheanacho?

    2. jmcclory123

      No love for Rondon for Stoke and Sunderland in his next 2?

      1. goriuanx
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If you have him, keep him. I wouldn't be buying him.

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          This

      2. Cecil The Lion
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Chadli

      3. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I didn't have, until you mentioned his next two.

      4. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Can't have them all unfortunately. Chadli on pens also dulls his appeal somewhat.

        1. Cecil The Lion
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Rondon was never on pens to begin with. Chadli's presence heightens Rondon's appeal if anything but at a similar price Chadli is a no-brainer between the two.

    3. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 11 Years

      Anyone know if Lucas Perez took the penalties for Deportivo?

      1. Cecil The Lion

        Cazorla is on pens

      2. TheEgyptianKing

        He took 3 pens for deportiva la coruna, scored all 3

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I went De Roon, and will assess before GW8. Capoue is the 4th for two games at least

    5. Sotamendi84

      Cant decide who to bench:
      Lamela
      Redmond
      Capoue
      Play aoa if shaw is out as my other defenders are friend and amat

      1. Rex Lapis

    7. Bubz

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Word of warning gents. I have decided to use a chip in order to play Capoue. You know what this means. There is no WAY he will score this week. No way. So I suggest you bench him.

      1. jmcclory123
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Scoutcast completely put me off him

          • 11 Years

          Yeah same tbh. But my other options are to play Collins or Pieters, both of whom might not play/definitely wont keep a clean sheet if they do

      2. Slumdog-Mignolet

                If you look at it that away, then yes. But Antonio is cheaper 🙂

                  Payet will 100% score more points over a season - if you want him long term then don't ditch

        Get Aguero in

        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I don't like Fletcher and Diomade. Especially as you have Capoue. And you don't have Aguero. How much in the bank? Must be a lot!

    12. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Which pair?

      A) Coleman & Kone
      B) Williams & Lovren

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        B unless you can squeeze it to Baines & Kone

        1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
          • 11 Years

          0.1 off

    13. JAC THE CAT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Is now the time to play AOA if you have Capoue as the 5th midfielder?

      He has the form and the fixtures.

      1. LewanGOALski

        GW7 😉

        Watfor

        1. LewanGOALski
          • 13 Years

          Watford vs BOU

      2. Bubz

        Depends on the state of your defence

    14. Cornholi0

      Hazard, Ozil, Antonio, Puncheon (De Roon)

      Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Deeney

      1 FT and 0,2 in the bank:

      What would YOU do?

        Very open question, personally Hazard to Firmino

      I can't wait for Watford to go on a run of CS's. Those extra 1 pt from Capoue will be so fine.

      1. Sjaugen

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years

          That's fine by me. I will take 9pts between Holebas & Capoue.

    17. Ronamessi
      • 9 Years

      currently have Heaton jaku but what do y'all think about going jaku pickford?

      1. A.T
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        A bit of a waste of a transfer unless you're on a wildcard

        1. Ronamessi
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          trying to free up $$$

    18. adased
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      captain Aguero or Ibra?

      1. Jape
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Kun

        1. adased
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          ah thanks

      2. Cecil The Lion
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Genuine choice but Aguero is just Aguero

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Aguero this week but think next week Ibra (STO) is more promising than Aguero (tot)

    19. Neevesy
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Stuck in what to do this week, not 100 % happy but don't want to take a -4 or -8.

      Team:

      Heaton (Pickford)

      Valencia - Stones - Baines (Masu - Amat)
      Ozil - Antonio - Hazard - Capoue (Snoddy)
      Tekkers - Lukaku - Costa

      I'm thinking Ozil --- Firm for this week. Then Costa ---- Aguero next?

      Just not sure on Haz at the moment either. Thinking KDB?

    20. Gassemannen
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lanzini -> Firmino worth -4?

      1. Jape
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

    21. SpinyNorman [*_*]
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      XI for Saturday:

      Pickford
      Baines Friend Walker
      Antonio(vc) Fimino(c) Hazard Capoue Bolasie
      Ibra Benteke

      Subs: Jaku, Bony, Amat, M.Wilson

      Good to go? 🙂

      1. Jape
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Ballsy going without Kun.

      2. Cecil The Lion
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You must have a lot itb

      3. Sebbo29
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        don't like those 3 striker spots at all. No Kaku, no Costa, and most of all no Kun but Bony instead. Not for me thanks

    22. GalacticosFC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Really struggling with which Liverpool midfielder to have in my wildcard team; Coutinho, Firmino or Mane, is it best to just stick with someone like Sterling for now until there's an obvious choice?

      1. Jape
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Firmino and Mane are the nailed ones so take a pick between them.

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          So Cout isn't nailed because of his brazil flight? 😛

          1. Jape
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Coutinho is the one who is more likely to be subbed off/not start. Him and Lallana.

      2. goriuanx
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You can find out which one via comparison tool. Only £12.50 😉

        1. rnrd
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          well the comparison tool does not give any upside to Firm compared to Coutinho actually

          1. goriuanx
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            It does, if you use it properly and adjust it with context.

            1. KING KOUNDER
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              So you see what you want to see.

      3. Bullet Eder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No, because I can't imagine there being an obvious choice all season. Firmino is the best player and will provide the most consistent points, Mane is seriously explosive and captain potential in the next two. I'd avoid Coutinho.

      4. A.T
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'd say you need one. Mane is a good one as he's easier to downgrade if needed

    23. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      RMT is telling me to captain one of my Liverpool mids over Aguero. 😯

      1. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't mind captaining Firmino if I was sure he'd turn up

      2. Jape
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not a bad shout to be honest.

    24. Bullet Eder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cazorla > Firmino/Mane (-4)?

      1. goriuanx
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yep.

      2. Rex Lapis
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Keep Cazorla

      3. Sebbo29
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        not for -4 imo

    25. Hi I'm Jose
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think these two decisions by Conte and Jose will change the dynamics of this game;

      Oscar, Ivanovic -> Cesc and Alonso (Thus Azpi on the left)
      Rooney --> Mata

      1. Cecil The Lion
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Rooney --> Mata means Mourinho admitting he's been wrong about a few things. Can't see it happening

    26. rnrd

      Callum Wilson people?

        He didn't start at weekend I don't think?

        1. rnrd
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          yes but that was a 4-5-1 at City. makes sense to play without him. He came in at half time

      2. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 14 Years

        Yup o/

    27. Feed tha Sheep
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Best options?
      A. Williams or Morgan( or any 5.0 def)
      Best two 4.5 def?
      B. Evans (have foster) Holbas Kelly Roberson Lowton Francis

    28. SKH
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Team for GW6:

      Foster Heaton
      Alderweireld Shaw McAuley Kingsley Holgate
      Zaha Alexis Capoue Fletcher Antonio
      Ibrahimovic Kane (c) Lukaku

      I'm looking for a possible -8 to
      Zaha Alexis Capoue Firmino Antonio
      Aguero Deeney Lukaku.

      Is it worth it? Any advice?
