Scout Notes

Scout Notes – Gameweek 8 – Sunday

Liverpool require two own goals to get the better of QPR, as Raheem Sterling and Steven Gerrard bag an assist apiece. Eduardo Vargas scores twice for the R’s, Wilfried Bony and Charlie Adam both notch for the second consecutive Gameweek, whilst Victor Moses produces an assist for the fourth league match in succession for Stoke.

Balotelli Fails to Convince
Brendan Rodgers recalled Mario Balotelli to the starting XI in the lone striker role for the QPR clash, but witnessed another wasteful display as his side needed two own goals to beat the basement-dwellers. With frustration amongst the Reds’ faithful now palpable, the situation up front is a far cry from Liverpool’s fluid and threatening forward line of 12 months ago. To compound matters, Rodgers confirmed post-match that Daniel Sturridge is set be sidelined for the next two to four weeks with a calf injury, putting the onus on Balotelli to produce if the Reds are to take full advantage of a kind schedule which see them face Hull, Newcastle, Palace, Stoke and Leicester in the next six.

Sterling’s Still Ticking Over
Despite a multitude of concerns surrounding Raheem Sterling’s fitness after his recent international duties, Liverpool’s starlet played the full 90 minutes at Loftus Road and earned an assist and two bonus points. Whilst the Reds’ forwards may be toiling, the winger has now scored or assisted in five of his last seven starts and sits just two points off the top of the FPL midfield standings. Though Philippe Coutinho and Steven Gerrard threw their hats into the ring with attacking returns yesterday, Sterling still looks the likeliest source of points across those aforementioned fixtures.

Super Sub Vargas Bags A Brace
The Chilean climbed off the bench to score twice for Harry Redknapp’s side in a 12-minute cameo that should see him press for a starting role for QPR’s home encounter with Aston Villa in Gameweek 9. Vargas has now produced two goals, an assist and three bonus points across his last couple of appearances, though at 6.4 still looks too big a punt in a side who have lost four of their last five league outings. The Hoops have five strong fixtures in their next seven (AVL, new, LEI, swa, BUR) that could help turnaround their fortunes, though despite making changes at the back and between the posts, Harry Redknapp’s defence continues to look there for the taking– yesterday’s loss means they have now conceded two or more goals in six of their last seven league matches.

Bony’s Form Looking Up
Yesterday’s penalty strike means the Ivorian now has back-to-back goals to his name, and is finally starting to find his form ahead of an enticing home clash with Leicester next weekend. Available for 8.3 in the Fantasy Premier League game, Bony struggled in the early stages of this season, but his starting spot now looks secure, and with Swansea not having won since Gameweek 3, his rediscovered eye for goal could prove key if they are to turn their fortunes around. However, the Swans’ following three fixtures after the Foxes meeting (eve, ARS, mci) may well deter investors until Gameweek 13.

Sigurdsson On The Slide
His performance against the Potters saw the playmaker leave the field early after serving up a fourth blank in the last five Gameweeks, as his early-season consistency certainly shows signs of waning. Sigurdsson’s recent international displays, allied with his 10-point haul in Gameweek 7, had many hoping he would be able to produce against Mark Hughes’ men, but a total of just nine successful passes in the final third and no shots registered was indicative of his minimal impact. With his form floundering and so many other midfield options flourishing right now, some may consider looking elsewhere once the Leicester game is out of the way.

Stoke Midfield Hit Their Stride
Victor Moses was again in the points yesterday after controversially winning his side’s first-half penalty. That’s now four assists in the Nigerian’s last four appearances, though, despite a favourable 5.5 price tag, he continues to bubble under with an ownership of just 0.4%. It was Charlie Adam who stepped up to take the spot kick and, though he had dropped deeper to cover for the absence of Glen Whelan, the Scot’s penalty-taking duties have ensured he has now netted in each of his last two outings. With Oussama Assaidi and Jon Walters also in the points for the Potters yesterday, their midfield is starting to show some appeal, though managers should be wary that they face a dire upcoming schedule (sou, WHM, tot, BUR , liv, mun, ARS) with those two home encounters looking the only attractive fixtures right now.

    When should we expect Aguero to go up in price? I have exact funds to do Costa>Aguero

    1. rickardinho
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I think this trade sucks for a few reasons:

      - you lose 0.3-0.4 on Costa's value
      - Costa has important fixtures that he should feature in soon
      - City play easy opponents in the league but have do-or-die CL games, so I doubt whether he'll play a lot now that Dzeko and Jovetic are fit

        just to clarify.
        it says >2 days, meaning more than two days away.
        unless you are expected to rise in the next two days this is the default status.

    Well, I intend to represent the Community in the Scout Picks this week, and I'm pretty confident of the bunch I've selected. So have a look at the team, and if you feel it is really going to do well, please pop up with an upvote. After all, the Community badly needs a good week more than anyone else.

      no baines?
      Have you thought of picking barkley instead of tadic? You will look like a genius if it works if it doesn't no one will remember!

      1. Saniul
        • 11 Years

        Coleman ahead of Baines is the only small exception I took.

  4. Delhidynamo

    What are the thoughts on Campbell to replace Ulloa? Fixtures and form seem decent as I don't consider United or Pool to be tough defences

    First time poster, long time lurker here. Is di maria essential? if so is he worth dropping sterling for? its tempting but there's so much that can be done with the 1.4 difference. Help!

      1. Aguerno More
        • 10 Years

        probably wont be able to get on tomorrow, worried about rises

          If he scores well then he becomes essential. His PPG is pretty good.

    2. John t penguin
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Not essential
      And some hard games coming up so maybe not best time to buy him.
      What is rest of your team

      Ok and welcome
      Not fancy a grav

    3. C-Dawgg
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Absolutely not, I'd say looking at the upcoming fixtures if you don't have him by now it's not worth it. Maybe worth it in a few weeks, never essential.

    4. Aguerno More
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I don't think I'm going to bother, thanks for the replies, probably shouldn't be worried about my lack of united cover

    What are people's plan/thoughts on getting Walcott?

    I'm planning a WC and wondering if I should go with him straight away.

    1. Just A Hat
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I was eventually going to get him in for Tadic but Tadic really gave me a headache this week with that fantastic performance

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Yeah. That's probably not a good idea taking form player out for player just back + playing for Arsenal.

        Could just have someone saving a place for him.

        1. Just A Hat
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          could potentially do Wellbeck -> Cheap bench striker, Siggy - > Walcott

          still a long time to decide though

    2. Qubit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Wouldn't go straight away, but ive definitely got a place holder in mind. (or a sacrificial lamb if you will) If he returns at anything like his usual self he's a must basically.

      1. Qubit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Actually ill revise that. If you happened to have a decent sub who could step in for Walcott for a couple of weeks then maybe, but otherwise id wait.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I thought about this and it was the main reason I got welbeck in with all the pace around walcott, sanchez and the ox it should suit welbeck.

      I would wait until walcott plays 60 mins plus then get him

    4. Old Man
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Absolutely not! Wait until you see how's going - I cannot foresee immediate major returns.

    With sterling playing 90 mins yesterday. Most probably 90 mins against Madrid during week. Anybody else think he could get a rest against hull?

      Doesn't look like Rodgers can afford to rest him atm.

    Very nervous going into gw 9 of the season. Historically my knees start twitching.

    For example, this knee jerk in 2006 must be the knee jerk that defies all fantasy football logic… -36 pt hit. BOOM!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        They did, but Wildcards are no good if you don't know how to use them!

      1. Clay Davis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        One man… Thierry Henry. He hit 2 goals against Reading, and that alone caused me to hit the panic button after dropping from #187 to #1497

        Lesson to all those desperate to get in Tadic, Aguero and Pelle. Do so, but don't go crazy on the points hits.

    how should I use my 2FT? Currently in the top 2,000 but feel like I need Tadic or Pelle to come in...

    Guzan

    Ivan Bert Naylor

    ADM Fab Sterling Siggy

    Costa Kun Sakho

    (Hamer, Duff, Moore, Boyd)

    a) Siggy/COsta --> Tadic/Pelle + 1.8
    b) ADM/Sakho ---> Tadic /Pelle
    c) Fab/Sakho ---> Chadli/Pelle + 0.6
    d) Naylor/Costa ---> Baines/Pelle + 0.4
    e) something else

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

      1. MIDDLEMAN
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        only worry is getting costa back in...

  13. Wild Rover
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Hate having a player and hoping he does nothing, but at 12k rank it seems that there are more ADM captainers or vc's coming in for Costa around the top 20k than people who don't have him 🙁

    1. Dr Dream
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I need 6pts from him to break the 100pts score for the GW...I'd sooner not bother this week...very odd.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      In fact I'd prefer him to be sent off.

    3. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      exactly.
      i would not mind a yellow plus 59 minutes sub as precaution.

      then again, i dont have him at all 🙂

    4. Dogba
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      His ownership is insane 😮 I'm a non-owner and I'm amazed at how much it has risen considering the fixtures he's got coming up, his stats and United's stats. Overperforming FPL-points-wise in my opinion.

      Watching the games though, he's truly a special player.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        I think he will do well against the bigger teams he is a big game player

  14. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Thoughts on Mane. A cheaper option than Tadic and allows me to have welcome Ramsey back into my team.

    1. The Machine
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      yeah i'd get him if it allows ramsey (or walcott if he's fit)

    BBC: Diego Costa sat out Chelsea training this morning ahead of tomorrow's Champions League against Maribor.

    Costa missed Saturday's win against Crystal Palace after persistent hamstring troubles, but Ramires and Andre Schurrle, who also sat out at Selhurst Park, both trained today.

  16. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Team for GW 8 but no idea what to do. 2 FTs and 1.1 itb.

    Forster
    Naylor, Dawson, Bertrand
    Di María, Sigurdsson, Fábregas, Sterling
    Costa, Agüero, Welbeck

    Subs: McCarthy Boyd Wilson Moore

    Assuming Costa is fit which of these looks the best bet?

    A: Cesc > Sanchez
    B: Wilson > Chambers
    C: Naylor + Cesc > Baines + up to 7.8mid (Tadic/Mane/Eriksen/Chadli)
    D: Something else?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      E: Welbeck > Pelle?

    2. mr messi
      • 14 Years

      I wouldn't lose Cesc

    3. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      A looks very very nice with Sanchez but C's probably the best overall. Eriksen/Tadic.

    4. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      C) Tadic or Barkley.

    5. LOCO ABREU

    2 Fts and 0 in the bank. Thoughts on what to do?

    DDG
    Moreno Bertrand Wisdom ( Duff, Chester )
    Di Maria Tadic Sigurdsson Sterling
    Costa Aguero Pelle

    Have a few in mind:
    A) Sterling + Moreno + DDG ----> Eriksen + Baines + Foster/4.8

    B) Sterling + Moreno ---> Chadli + Baines w/o DDG--->Lloris

    C) DDG + Moreno + Chester ----> Foster/4.6 + Coleman + S.Taylor

    D) Your suggestion

    or Maybe like Moreno+Chester out for Alcaraz and Kaboul or something?

    So out of the three defenders I had to pick from for GW 8 (PvA, Kelly, Chester), I picked the one that scored -2 😕

    Best value defender for 4.5 or below? Nobody really stands out. Can stretch to Chambers but his scoring form has been poor

    @Torresmagic

    I replied to your point about advertising....

    My point being, on this other blogging site, they have been shortlisted & asking their users to vote to win...

    Unless they're mistaken (or I misread) would it not be wise for us to vote this site? Or when shortlisted its down to.s judging panel?

      so you didn't look at the teams?

        you weren't asking us to look at the teams. you were just asking us to upvote your team

          yeah i was, but you wouldn't upvote mine even if liked the team so your comment's as flawed as mine

    61 - Sergio Aguero has scored 61 goals in his opening 95 Premier League games, matching the record of Luis Suarez. Symmetry.

    1. rickardinho
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Hasn't Aguero taken longer season-wise to accumulate those numbers though because of his injuries though?

  30. rickardinho
    • 10 Years

    Thoughts on Costa>Aguero:

    - you lose 0.3-0.4 on Costa's value
    - Costa has important fixtures that he should feature in soon
    - City play easy opponents in the league but have do-or-die CL games, so I doubt whether he'll play a lot now that Dzeko and Jovetic are fit
    - first sub could cover for 1 GW (in my case that is downing, chambers, wisdom, which is decent)
    - aguero just rose to 12.4 and is unlikely to rise more than another 0.1 this week.

    Any thoughts?

    1. Punty

      - Aguero is better than Costa
