Scout Notes – Hazard Hits Back

Eden Hazard bursts back into life just as Fantasy managers’ lose faith, while a Chelsea centre-back misses out on clean sheet points by only three minutes for a second Gamewweek running.

More than 100,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers – close to a quarter of his total ownership – sold Hazard before today’s trip to Brighton.

Not that this was a one-off exodus, with the Belgian losing over half a million managers since Gameweek 19 on the back of an eight-match run in which he’d managed just one goal and an assist.

Almost inevitably, he bit back with a 16-point display involving two goals and maximum bonus as the Blues were left slightly flattered by their 4-0 win at the Amex Stadium.

However well Brighton played for scant reward, there was no disputing the masterclass put on by Hazard.

He thrived in a 3-4-2-1 system forced on coach Antonio Conte by suspensions for Alvaro Morata and Pedro and a hamstring issue that continues to keep Cesc Fabregas on the sidelines.

Hazard and Willian supported lone striker Michy Batshuayi, and it was the midfielders who provided much of the attacking threat.

The Brazilian matched the forward’s four attempts on goal (Hazard had three), while Willian (8) and Hazard (7) both had more penalty area touches than Batshuayi’s four.

Conte has been doing a convincing impression recently of a manager unsure as to his best side and how to set them up.

It looks like he might have stumbled on both the formation and most of the personnel today, with Morata likely to replace Batshuayi, but with Hazard and Willian retained as his attacking partners, particularly as the latter scored one goal and set up another at Brighton.

That could finally usher in the Brazilian as a consistent starter this season, making the 6.7-priced midfielder a real option with Chelsea’s schedule (BOU wat WBA) still attractive until a Manchester double header of both United and City across Gameweeks 28 and 29.

Willian has recorded three double-digit returns in the last eight Gameweeks, having started only five matches in that spell.

He is owned by 7.6% at present, which is a mark of how far Hazard’s star has fallen as the Belgian’s ownership is now down to 6.4%. Their contrasting price tags – with Hazard at 10.6 – has been the major factor. Sure enough, it is Willian who is currently the most bought asset following today’s action, picking up over 10,000 new owners while Hazard has tempted just a third of that so far.

Mixed fortunes at the back

Chelsea have now kept six clean sheets in seven matches as their popular defenders Marcos Alonso (26.3%) and Cesar Azpilicueta (23.0%) continue to set the pace in the overall standings.

But it hasn’t been so sweet for all.

Spare a thought for the 4.2% who overlooked Alonso in favour of the more budget-friendly Andreas Christensen (5.6).

The young Dane was taken off after 57 minutes with a head injury at this afternoon – the second week running he’s missed out on clean sheet points by just three minutes. During Chelsea’s superb recent run of shut-outs, Christensen has profited from just one of them.

Mercifully, the injury was dismissed by Antonio Conte post-match, who indicated that Christensen would return for the midweek Carabao Cup semi-final with Arsenal on Wednesday…

“Andreas had a contusion. We made a substitution, but the player didn’t want to come off. At the same time, when you have the possibility to have on the bench players like David Luiz, it was simple for me. The referee tried to force this substitution. It was a simple contusion. The player is okay. From tomorrow’s training session, he’s ready.”

Nonetheless, Christensen is already the most sold defender, with over 6000 of his owners reacting to their misfortune by trading him out, regardless of those kind fixtures to come.

There was also a bitter blow for the 13.3% of managers with Thibaut Courtois in goal.

The club confirmed that a minor ankle issue, sustained in training, was to blame for the Belgian’s non-appearance today, which meant a first league start for Willy Caballero.

The Argentine looked shaky at times but pulled off one fine point-blank save from a Tomer Hemed header to earn his corn.

Victor Moses was another to enjoy his day out on the south coast, the wing-back adding a goal, an assist and two bonus points to his clean sheet for a season-high 17 points.

However, such is the pull of Alonso in Chelsea’s backline – the Spaniard has 60 points more than Moses – that the Nigerian’s insignificant 69,280 ownership is unlikely to increase by anything more than a nominal amount.

Dark clouds over Brighton

The consensus was that Brighton performed admirably against Chelsea.

But they lost 4-0 anyway.

Chris Hughton’s side have now kept just one clean sheet in five matches, conceding nine goals along the way.

And their attacking form is desperate – the Seagulls have scored only four goals in 12 matches, with half of those coming in the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in Gameweek 22.

Brighton have broken their transfer record to sign striker Jürgen Locadia from PSV Eindhoven to try and stop the rot, although he is currently recovering from a hamstring problem and played no part today.

But the major casualty of the goal drought has been Pascal Gross.

The midfielder’s ownership peaked at over 1,176,000 in Gameweek 14. It’s now down to 872,000, with more than 112,000 getting rid for Gameweek 24 as the midfielder’s barren spell stretched to one goal and no assists from his last 12 starts.

Brighton’s short-term fixtures (sot WHU stk SWA) are sound enough for Gross to recover, although his, and the side’s, form suggests otherwise.

At the back, Hughton’s move to a three-man defence brought Connor Goldson (3.9) into the line-up.

Such a bargain basement price creates a situation that needs monitoring.

But given Brighton’s early capitulation – they were 2-0 down after six minutes today – it will likely be an experiment abandoned almost as soon as it began.

    Is it worth downgrading Otamendi > VVD/Davies/Stones to do Lingard > Arnautovic?

    Worth getting Mahrez before price rise although he could be off to another club by next gw?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Better hold the transfer then.

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure he will go though, but realized there is FA cup action next weekend

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I know it may be hard to resist to price rises, but we're in another transfer window in which Mahrez is considered a target, so if you get him in your team now you'll spend the remaining days till the deadline hoping he stays at Leicester.

      In doubt too,dont like his stats in last 4 GWs(4 shots,2OT).

      13 pointer? Will take any returns though. Soton defense shocking recently and Pelloegrino needs to score more or he'll be sacked

    De Gea
    Ota Alonso VVD Ogbona
    Sterling Arnie Salah Lindgard
    Kane Aguero

    Subs: Elliot, Obiang, Crouch, Mbemba

    Transfer this week is Vert to VVD...

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Looks really good, just monitor the Lingard situation and Ogbonna shouldn't be a starter every GW.

  12. @fpl_phenom

    This template won’t last long

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      If Kun loses his spot when Jesus returns then it will probably be Kun to Firmino/Vardy and upgrade a mid. Don't think it will change a lot.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      On here, the template is just the dream team for last week, people were shipping Aguero for Firmino lol

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I’m sick I went Firmino instead of Aguero but in saying that I have Alonso instead of Christensen... can’t have them all

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Yea had a decision to make as well, went Vert Son Morata to Alonso Ox Aguero (-4) because I didn't want Firmino. Losing Son not ideal either. Christensen really is the most unlucky fpl player of this season lol. Remember I bought him because he was due a goal, barely had any chances since then. Missed those 2 easy games due illness, sold after that and went on to miss out on 2 cs in the last 2 because he played 58 minutes, that's harsh

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      The whole idea of a "template" is silly. Anyone who makes transfers to get their team closer to the "template" is behind the curve and point chasing. Having players before they become "template" is the key to a good season. The template is basically the players who have been in best form over the last few weeks, and has changed loads of times already this season.

  13. Aston-villain
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What would you do to get Aguero? Or would you just go without?

    Adrian
    Ota Alonso Kenny
    Arni Ling Salah Sterling Son
    Kane(C) Firmino

    Elliot....Ogbonna.DCL.Mee
    1FT 0.1ITB

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Def go without in your case, if you wanted him, you had to buy this week, only 3 more weeks left in him before Jesus is back an option

      1. Aston-villain
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yeh thats probably the safest option

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Kane > Aguero for the next 3? Kane surely struggle against Utd Liverpool Arsenal

      1. Aston-villain
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Will probably be this for me.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Good transfer on paper if you dont have other issues. Kane could explode against anyone though.

    4. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not going to be easy. Firmino > Kun and downgrade Son. To get Kun for DCL, going to have to do Son+Lingard > cheap benchwarmers and even that might not be enough. Oat>Stones. But that's 4 transfers.

      So go without and get Silva or Sane for Son if you can

      1. Aston-villain
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yeh been thru all of them scenarios too...just all looks too damaging for £ and hits

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            • 8 Years

            Lol.Easter needs to come 6 weeks sooner.

    5. MTPockets
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Similar team. It's either Kane, Firmino + 6m ish for net downgrade, or hit-tastic for DCL. None appeal to me atm.

      Will Christensen get a forced 8 day rest because of the concussion protocol? If yes then I might just keep. Misses both the cup games and ready for next GW.

      Manchester United fans, assuming Sanchez will start next game, how do you reckon you guys will line-up?
      Also when is Bailly returning, eying up Mike Smalling after the Spurs game

      1. Nascimento
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I think we'll start Sanchez in the middle slot behind Lukaku - Martial one side, the other will be up for grabs but largely rotated depending on form between Rashford/ Lingard

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years

          And Mata

            Oh yeah and him but I thinm he's well behind Lingard in our pecking order

        2. Nascimento

          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I think it will be Mata who drops out as well actually, but might a bit biased as a Lingard owner, but he has been playing well lately, stopped some good counters today, didn't offer much attacking wise though

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        VS Spurs? Might see the return of the infamous 3 at the back, Jose loves that vs top 6.

        Dave
        Lindelof - Smalling - Jones
        Valencia - Matic - Pogba - Young
        Alexis - Lukaku - Lingard/Martial

        Personally would bench Lukaku and play with the other 3 but we all know he won't be benching the donkey.

        1. Nascimento
          • 8 Years

            • 11 Years

            Just because he cost 90m?

                6 years, 2 months ago

                Although it's a bit ridiculous to suggest he's been playing very average.

                1. My Name Is Prince
                  • 11 Years
                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah, maybe, but he hasn't been great either, I think he was a lot better at Everton... He's definitely close to average... Not worth the 90m price tag anyway, which is something your statement perhaps suggested... It would indeed be stupid to bench a player who's playing like a 90m striker, but Lukaku imo is not, hence benching him would certainly not be stupid...

                  1. My Name Is Prince
                    • 11 Years
                    6 years, 2 months ago

                    I mean just because he cost 90m... We could then start talking about tactics, you see....

                    I feel he's been a little harshly judged but I guess his true value does fall short of the 90m. I still wouldn't bench him but actually my original statement was pretty stupid. No point starting a player because of a sunk cost.

                Haha sorry, not upset just thought I disagree strongly with your statement (plus I've had a few glasses of red wine) 🙂

          Son hattrick against Lindelof then

          Hmm do they play that way against top 6? Hasn't caught my eye tbh, but out of Martial/Lingard, it will def be Martial, the guy is in hot form

            He was successful with that formation last away game vs a top 6 team (Arsenal) so I've got a feeling it will be a continuation of that. Lindelof is a good passer so that RCB role in a 3 man defence suits him really well. Also allows Pogba the extra freedom which resulted in two assists at Arsenal.

          Dont think Pogba will play in no.10 role,if he does we will all buy him.

        I'm not a Man U fan but surely they will play him wide in one of a front 3 (like Barca and Arsenal did with him)

      Considering getting aguero in for Kane for a couple of weeks. Should be worthwhile if captaining aguero. Especially Vs west brom. That being said I don't think the Liverpool game is worrying for Kane. Should be plenty of goals in that one.

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Kane a season keeper... Don't get this interest in Kun all of a sudden, if you didn't have this GW, don't buy!

      Do you approve of this move:

      Richarlison and Christensen -> Eric C-M and Alonso (-4)

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Sure

      2. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yes but maybe Ox instead of C-M

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Even if I already own Firm and Salah?

          1. My Name Is Prince
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Doesn't matter who else is in your team!

    12. yakirh

      Kane exit #2 will be the hot topic this GW

      Thoughts on Alli + Kane -> Kun & Hazard for 3 GWs and then change back?

      1. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        You're point chasing. Kane hasn't even played yet.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          If Hazard and Kun didn't score this week, would you be more inclined to say it's a good move?

      2. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Probably worth it. No need to commit your mind to getting Alli back though

      3. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        This is why the earth is dying, shame...

          It's uberkneejerk but who knows could prove great.

        • Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly the moves I'm thinking!

      5. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Do you prefer Albrighton, Ox or Eric C-M as a cheap fifth playing mid?

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Albrighton or Ox. Have to wait for the game to judge Ox. See if he plays with Lallana, and how well they play

        2. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Ox

      6. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Is Eriksen ➡ Mahrez a sensible move? I have 2FT so I can afford the risk.

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Absolutely!

        2. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Yes 🙂 I'm probably selling for Walcott/Mkhi/Pogba/Silva (though I have 2.1 ITB to help me upgrade elsewhere (though that's for a hit))

        3. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I think Mahrez will move, his recent form is no coincidence 😉

        Just thinking back to the way Moyes' appointment led to Arnie raising his game. New manager boost for Shaq? Was an under the radar contributor all season up until the wheels fell of the Stoke wagon. I think with set pieces, fixtures and nailedness he could be the best Lingard replacement.

        1. Rik Waller
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          How did he look today? Good stats?

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Didn't watch the game but heard he had two clear cut opportunities and looked hungry in addition to his assist

        2. fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Lambert is a very attacking manager, so wouldn't be surprised if Shaq/CM did well over the next few

          Personally got Bauer in this week to replace Kenny as my 5th defender, fingers crossed he does okay

      8. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Template breaker or rank buster?

        Lingard and Son to Mkhi and Wally

        1. TheBrat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Great moves imo

        2. FFSbet.com
          • 8 Years

          Gut knows,head wonders.

        3. MTPockets
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Not sure. Walcott's my plan for Richarlison. Can't be much worse.

          • We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Wouldn't be losing Son for Mkhi, that would likely be a rank buster if he remains nailed. Not interested in Shaq as a Lingard replacement?

            1. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              He won't though will he? Never has before

            Nah for me

          • @fpl_phenom
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Rank buster

          • Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Template breaker, probably not a rank buster, but not necessarily a rank improver either. I'm looking to choose between them myself

          • Rik Waller
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Massive punt

          • Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Did Walcott look good today? What positions did he take up?

            1. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Didn't see it but always been a FPL fav when nailed 🙂

        4. ooooo
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          How does Lingard to Ramsey sound or keep?

          1. FFSbet.com
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Ramsey could play too deep with Miki and Ozil in front of him,wait and see.

          2. MTPockets
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Ramsey could be ideal at that price if could stay fit.

            • Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Too early for Ramsey. Don't know how he'll fit in with Mkhi if he comes

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            With games coming up before nxt gw I suppose we all have to hold our planned transfers and suffer the price rises?? I want Mahrez asap.

            Also anyone considering getting rid of Sterling??

            And anyone doing Kane ➡ Aguero for nxt 3 games??

          4. AF90
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Who needs to go first?

            A) Richarlison
            B) RLC
            C) Gomes (Foster is other GK)
            D) DCL

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Depends on team. RLC is the worst of that lot, but then you probably don't need him in your starting XI

          5. Aston-villain
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Whats the possibility of a double rise from Aguero by the time Jesus is back???
            I need to make 0.1 to go back to Kane

            1. Lukey27
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              100%

            2. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Don't know

            3. Ruth_NZ
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Pretty likely I'd say. He could rise tonight and there are 10 days till the next GW so you wouldn't be surprised at a double rise even by then, specially as he's 2nd highest scoring forward now.

              As for Jesus, he could well not be back till GW27/28, last I read was that they are targeting the Basel CL game for him and that's after GW27. If Aguero gets another big one next week he could easily be 12.1m by then.

            4. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              It will be difficult, we have seen in an international week that it takes a lot more to rise in a 2 week game week.
