Scout Picks

Scout Picks – Gameweek 6

It’s time for Gameweek 6 of this season’s Scout Picks, where every Friday, myself, Mark, Jonty and a different member of the Community pick an XI for the upcoming round of fixtures. Each week, our line-ups go head-to-head and over the course of the season we’ll be keeping a tally of the points as we go along.

Similar to the last three Gameweeks, we’ve kept the budgets at 83.5m apiece for our starting line-ups.

The Community – Managed by Giggs Boson

Calculated risk is the essence of this game. There are some players, Diego Costa for instance, that hold such potential for points that the risk of going without far outweighs the reward of a potential replacement. Although I like to maintain a high risk strategy, there are a core of players for this Gameweek who should not be excluded for the sake of a low percentage gamble.

I have decided to double on the Burnley defence for obvious reasons. Three 0-0’s in a row cannot be ignored, especially when they face West Brom, a team who have scored just one goal since Gameweek 1. In my opinion, a “flimsy defence” is an illusion as 4.0m defenders can easily snatch four points for a clean sheet, just like an expensive defender, given the right fixture.

I initially had Papiss Cissé in the team, a top player who was once 9.0m. But after Magpies boss Alan Pardew said the striker, who is also carrying a knock, would be eased in I decided to remove him for Graziano Pellé. His Southampton team mate Sadio Mané is untested in the league, but his pace and eye for goal made him a punt I could not resist in the face of a tasty home tie with QPR – his speed will surely trouble the R’s Rio Ferdinand. I wanted some Arsenal in the team for the notoriously high scoring North London Derby, so I decided to pick Mesut Özil who seems to be rising in form, and has a share of set-pieces.

Jonty

gw6picks Fixtures, form, the members tables and some persuasive analysis by community writer The Puntmaster have driven my decisions this week. With just one goal this season and striker Danny Ings injured, Burnley look incapable of scoring which has prompted me to double up on West Brom’s defence with Ben Foster in goal and Craig Dawson in my backline.

Puntmaster’s persuasive analysis of Dawson’s set piece threat was instrumental in my selection here. Meanwhile, Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand and Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic offer both attacking threat and clean sheet promise when QPR and Aston Villa visit.

In attack, Southampton’s Graziano Pelle has notched up the most shots in the box this season, while Diego Costa, who was rested in midweek, has scored seven times and is another essential player this week. The Merseyside derby is always full of goals and Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling and Everton’s Romelu Lukaku should be involved. Both are in the top ten for shots in the box this season and have five goals between them. Lukaku is another Puntmaster pick as well. Both Manchester United’s Angel Di Maria and Cesc Fabregas feature after riding high in my chances created table for midfielders over the last two Gameweeks.

Finally, Mark’s favourite and yet another of the Puntmaster’s selections, Victor Moses, is included after I noticed he has delivered more successful crosses than any other midfielder so far this season.

Mark

gw6picks For me, it’s another Gameweek where risk-taking is difficult to justify. Backing Chelsea and Southampton looks a necessity, with Diego Costa and Grazianno Pelle picking themselves. I’m going to double on the Saints attack with Dusan Tadic in midfield because I just don’t have confidence in the QPR rearguard and Ronald Koeman’s team are bouyant – I’m expecting a merciless display from them.

Ryan Bertand also finds a place in my three-man defence, with the obligatory selection of Branislav Ivanovic – every inch the right-winger at Stamford Bridge. Phil Bardsley completes the rearguard, just because he’s shown a threat and I fancy him to raise his game against Newcastle, being a former Black Cat. Burnley’s lack of firepower is reflected by my selection of Ben Foster in goal.

I’ve tried to have variety in midfield. I fancy Gylfi Sigurdsson to silence any creeping doubts with a haul at Sunderland, while I can see plenty of goals at Selhurst Park, with Jason Puncheon my weapon of choice in the Palace ranks against Leicester. I wanted to take a risk on Alexis Sanchez but there’s still doubts whether he’ll get the start against Spurs so I’ll have to revert to Raheem Sterling – it’s hard to see the Merseyside derby being tight given the defensive records on show.

Up front, I’ll retain Wayne Rooney – simply because I still value pitch time over the promise of Radamel Falcao and I want to see how Louis van Gaal sets up at Old Trafford.

Paul

gw6picks I’m tripling up on Chelsea for a plum home clash against Villa. Branislav Ivanovic (10 shots inside the box so far), Cesc Fabregas (18 chances created) and Diego Costa (eight big chances) all look the perfect combination of form and fixture against Paul Lambert’s side.

A couple of Southampton players also make the cut. Ronald Koeman’s side have afforded opponents a mere 19 efforts inside the box – lower than any side – and that convinces me to bring in Ryan Bertrand. Graziano Pelle also comes in on the back of three goals and an assist in the last three.

Elsewhere in defence, West Brom’s Ben Foster faces a Burnley side without a goal in three matches, whilst Vincent Kompany travels to Hull – the team with the least number of close-range attempts this term.

Further up the park, the form of Raheem Sterling and Angel di Maria cannot be overlooked. Sterling, in particular, looks a strong shout against Everton’s porous defence – his 10 shots in the box and seven on target is top amongst midfielders. I’ve taken the advice of our Captain Sensible article for my final two picks, bringing in Jason Puncheon as Palace square up to Leicester’s dodgy defence and selecting Danny Welbeck due to Arsenal’s attacking form ahead of the north London derby.

The Scores So Far

In a low scoring Gameweek 5 , Mark led the way on 52 points thanks to key differentials Romelu Lukaku and Steven Caulker. I picked up 49 points, whilst The Community – as managed by Doosra – pipped Jonty to third by 41 points to 40. This means that after five rounds of fixtures, I have 281 points, Mark has 262, Jonty has 240 and The Community has 236.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          What about Ramsey, keeping him or kicking out ?

        You're my point man on this, we need to know!

        Are you doing your leagues this season?

    What are your thoughts on Hazard (C) as a differential captain? I have Costa, Rooney and Ulloa, so do I play it safe and go for Costa like (seemingly) most people, or take the punt?

    1. chrisjdgrady
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think it's a good week to punt on a captain. The most in form striker owned by 60% of players for the most in form team playing Aston Villa is just too ripe.

      1. Tortilla.Curtain
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That's what's holding me back. Nice idea, wrong week...

        1. chrisjdgrady
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah it's just too risky this week imo! If Costa blanks then most people suffer from it so it doesn't hurt.

          1. Squires FC
            • 11 Years

            I'm going hazard captain, could be a broken man this time tomoro eve

    2. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have Fabregas and the same front 3, and will be playing it safe.
      Not worth the gamble.

    3. Logipuh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you're going for a captain other than Costa choose Rooney! Roo has 9 goals in last 8 PL games against West Ham. West Ham also struggles on the right side of their defence, so expect Di Maria to get a handful of key passes.

    Should I do rooney to Lukaku for a -4pt hit

    1. emperikal

      Absolutely not

        It really is that double edged sword.

  6. Norco

    Is Ramsey going to punish the non-believers this week. I sure hope so. If not he will be going. Form over fixtures!

    1. emperikal
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can't have them all. Most Ramsey owners won't have one of ADM, Fab or Sterling and any of them are likely to strike it big this week as well

    2. chrisjdgrady
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think he has a good chance. Almost dropped him for ADM but had to give him the derby to prove his worth!

      1. Norco
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Good man. I for one hope ADM blanks, imagine the chaos

        1. chrisjdgrady
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Ramsey brace ADM blank would probably cause mass hysteria!

          1. Norco
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            This would rattle the cages. Here is hoping!

    3. GST
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nope.

      Too deep, Welbeck better attacking threat, Ozil and Wislhere getting in on the action, and Theo coming back.

      Sell sell sell IMO.

      1. chrisjdgrady
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Played deep last season too, I dunno why people keep saying he's playing too deep this season. He was always next to Arteta.

      2. Norco
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't even know who to bring in if I did Haha

    4. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hopefully.

    5. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Worried about his deepness so took him out for ADM.
      Kept Rooney but think he will be next to go, again based on deepness.
      Deep.

      1. Vardy Gras PBFC
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        JK - do you reckon when Arsenal's decent fixtures start, if Ozil stays in the hole, that he'd be a better pick than Ramsey then?

      • 15 Years

      Playing in a potentially high scoring game, on the tele, will almost certainly start and play most of the game, he likes a shot, he can spot a pass, he has had a week off.

    5. Dr Trueta

    Quite a few Moreno replacements to consider...narrowed it down to the following 3.

    A: PVA (has 2 decent fixtures in a row)
    B: Chambers (value and good long term)
    C: Lescott (best fixture this week and goal threat)

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

      B). Imo.

        On the contrary I'd like him at least this week, next week I can get somebody else as I'll have 2 FTs again.

      Are you doing it this week? Would say B too

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Need him this week and long term, tomorrow can be covered by another ft potentially.

      B.

    7. Kerz
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B, quite comfortably. Can't pass up 4.5 for a nailed-on, top four right back, whose fixtures happen to be brilliant from week 8 onwards.

    8. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      B it is then guys...just got attracted to Lescott's goal record from previous seasons.

    Captaining Costa is depressing me. Not even televised. Welbeck it is :()

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐

      oh good, we weren't sure who to give our last bench spot to 😉

        • 14 Years

        I really don't care, I'd rather go down trying a diff. I don't take the game so seriously that I want to be bored with it 🙂

            Welbeck ain't even making my bench though in UFPL

            1. Wild Rover
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              I don't have him in UFPL 🙂

          2. Wild Rover
            • 14 Years

            Good man

        2. Dr Dream
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Top man...

    3. Il Gladiatore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I don't even have Costa! Can't decide between Aguero and Pelle for captain

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

      Last week's shoulda captained: Danny Welbeck

  16. Kerz
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Quite worried I don't own Pellè this week, I must say. Can't really argue with the key stat that he's had more shots in the box than any other player. Watching him live, I was quite surprised by his unconvincing technical ability, but firing in that level of shots you're bound to score a few.

    Throw in QPR's 10 big chances conceded, 60 goal attempts conceded and 10 goals conceded (including two smashings - both away from home) as well as the fact that QPR are missing key players due to injury (Barton, Faurlin, Mutch and Kranjcar. Sandro [?] also doubtful) and Pellè actually looks a very good captain choice.

    1. WorldCupDanB
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      So based on all of that it'll be Southampton 0 v 1 QPR

  17. LITTLE SURPRISE!
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Whom to bench?
    Chambers
    Siggy
    Lovren

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lovren.

  18. palace ash
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can't for the low of new work out which three to play and which two to bench. Thoughts?

    1. Clyne (QPR)
    2. Pieters (NEW)
    3. Ward (LEI)
    4. Moreno (EVE)
    5. Duff (wba)

    1. palace ash
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      *Life of me

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Play Clyne, Pieters and Moreno.

    3. rickardinho

      145

  19. rickardinho
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Choose one to play, and say why: 🙂

    A) Lovren (vs Everton) - highest chance of attacking returns, but could concede several
    B) Chambers (vs Spurs) - ok chance of CS but unlikely attacking returns
    C) Taylor (at Sunderland) - least likely go concede 2+

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I fancy Chambers to get a clean sheet.

  20. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Bugga. Was all set on Lamela -> Mané for a hit. Now that option is gone (draft league).

    So play Lamela, Boyd or Caulker?

    1. Kerz
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lamela

    Guys, Should I Bench Lovren & Bring in Dummet (Stoke Away) ?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably not.

    2. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not on your nelly.

  22. Zombie

    It's funny when people say - oh nooooooo...I have 20 of scout picks whereas given the chance, they would themselves pick the most of them 😉

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Scout Picks are often only good for 1 GW though, which is how they should be.

      So it's never as easy as wanting to own all those players.

    Guys who should I start this week??

    A) Schneiderlin or Ulloa

    B) Lovren or Chambers

    My head tells me Ulloa and Chambers but my gut says Schneiderlin and Lovren...

    1. rickardinho

      Follow the head

  25. HonestBlatter

    Best midfielder for next two GWs and price max 4.7M?

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Boyd?

    2. Il Gladiatore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      4.7?! Quinn, maybe Cork

      1. HonestBlatter
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Quinn won't start and Cork plays 58mins

    If Arteta isn't on the pitch, is Ramsey man for penalty?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil I think.

    2. Il Gladiatore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I doubt it. I'd expect Ozil and Sanchez to be before Ramsey

    3. A.T
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil

      1. Dr Dream
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Amazed he's not got another goal or more with his stats...may just need a push of some nice fixtures

    4. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hope not. My toughest ML rival got him in last week.
