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.

    The manager has also ruled Andre Schurrle and Ramires out of tomorrow's game. #CFC

    Has readership of The Big Numbers article increased now that it has moved to Sunday evening? It's probably my favourite article and I preferred it when it was published after the GW had finished so it included all the games. However if readership has increased by moving it then fair enough.

      It was traditionally on Sunday night when it was first devised and seems the best fit now. We moved the Community Round-up to Friday's which made sense and we needed that Sunday evening slot filled.

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        I prefer it Sunday night tbh. Most weeks it's after the whole GW has been finished, and if it's on Monday/Tuesday it just feels like I've already moved on to the next week, rather than still looking back at last week. Feels more relevant to me the closer it is to the bulk of the matched. Just my thoughts though.

          I miss The Knee Jerk, that should be on the Sunday night and then The Big Numbers could be at the end of the gameweek.

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            I thought they were the most pointless articles tbh. It's basically just an article saying who scored well.

          2. SEASIDER
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            Agree about The Knee Jerk. Was always a good read.

        2. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Similar reason why I prefer the Friday Community Roundup. Feels more like a recap of the last week before the deadline, while Sunday night seems like it should be more of a prelude to the next week.

      2. SEASIDER
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks for the reply. I hadn't considered the other scheduling changes. That and the pre-amble are my favourites (for very different reasons).

        You must be happy with your team's score this week.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          Agree that The Big Numbers and The Pre-amble are the best articles.

      Welcome to FPL 2012/13

  7. Punty
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    This post/idea is for people that have Ivanovic and want Baines. Many of you (like me) probably want to keep Ivanovic and get Baines at the same time. My suggestion is to do Ivanovic -> Baines. When Chelsea's fixtures get better around gameweek 12, you trade your Clyne/Bertrand to Azpi if you want Chelsea defensive cover.

    Southampton from Gameweek 13: CITY ars UTD bur EVE cry CHE ARS utd

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      The only thing I'd say about that is that Chelsea often seem more likely for a clean sheet in 'difficult' games.

      1. Punty
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Agree, but I'd rather have Baines in easy fixtures than Ivanovic in difficult fixtures

    2. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      In the last 4 game weeks, Ivanovic has 0 shots on target and just 2 shot assists, compared to 4 shots on target and 9 shot assists in the first four gameweeks. I think Jose is playing more defensively and it's time to give Ivan the boot at that price.

  8. FredrikH
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Since I decited that Moreno has got to go, Which defender would you get if you had 5.6 to spend? Already have Clyne Duff Wisdom Moore.

    Im thinking Bertrand or Jags. Opinions?
    I'd love some response.

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

      Rose or a WHU (granted they have MCI next) but for long term...

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

        Thanks. Will give it a thought.

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Bertrand over Jags. Like them both though

      1. Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        You already have Clyne, sorry. Maybe Jags then in that case.

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

          Yeah it's a coinflip for me at this moment. Thanks!

    3. Captain Shirokov
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Yes, Bertrand is a great pick for the next few weeks. Get him imo.

      Please vote too for this team. 🙂

    100 points and ADM to play, rank 15k. How much of a drop I might be looking at?

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      lots of costa C's going to aguero (VC) and points off the bench. who knows

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        I wouldn't say lots have that. Aguero ownership wasn't that high before the weekend.

    2. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      A rise coming

      I don't think anyone who has scored 100 has ever got a red arrow.

      1. sambyy
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Not talking about getting a red arrow, I was 280k before this week. I mean how much im gonna drop from 15k when VC's and autosubs kick in.

        1. Sess!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Ah right sorry. You'll prob drop but not by too much. Great jump in rank by way 🙂

    Fellow Community members,

    Tired of getting hammered in the Scout Picks Challenge week in; week out? Sick of people using silly selection methods for their teams who end up inevitably scoring half the points of their counterparts? Well, it's time to put a stop to this nonsense.

    I was going to put forward a team this week, but wasn't around at 10am when the polls opened, hence missing out on a lot of the early votes. As a result, I am going to choose the best team there, imo, and try to get votes for it all day today. I also realise not many like me as a poster so I probably wouldn't have won regardless.

    I have decided that Nate's team is the best one there and deserves the opportunity of contesting with the other picks this week.

    At the end of the day, it comes down to how much passion and pride we ourselves have in our own little FFS Community. STOP THE ROT, VOTE FOR NATE.

    Hazard + Berahino or 6.6m + Lukaku ?

      haz and ber, although would prefer Fabregas

  12. Chris_White
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Would you do Ivanovic to Baines or De Gea to Forster this week?

    Pros and cons with both moves, Baines with more potential this week but I wouldn't be surprised if we shut United out at OT and QPR up next. Not overly keen on owning De Gea @ Etihad either...

      1. Chris_White
        • 13 Years

        Cheers man, will do.

      1. Chris_White
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Foster could be another option, frees up funds too. What do you think?

    Sterling and PvA -> Eriksen and Baines? got two freebies.

    1. Chris_White
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I wouldn't transfer out Sterling

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Let's put it like this. Baines not worth getting rid of Sterling for Eriksen? Would you rather just ditch PvA for let say Jagielka?

        1. Chris_White
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          It's a good argument, I'll give you that. Go with your gut. Liverpool not looking good atm though, so it could be justifiable. Looking to get Baines myself...

          1. Jam0sh
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            Cheers. I'll consider it until UCL is over for this week but got that feeling I might just go for it.

    2. Hammers Select
      • 14 Years

      Seems good move.

      Eriksens fixtures seem to put him ahead of Sterling in my eyes.

    I need 12 points from Di Maria tonight.

    Please let it happen!

    2. FISSH

  17. Chris_White
    • 13 Years

    Costa was never going to start against Maribor anyways. Will be very surprised if he isn't included at the weekend...

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Yea, I think he'll play some part against United

      Ps I'm going the game 😀

      Yeah, I think mourinho just giving him a rest and making sure he's 100% for utd game. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't start that. Failing that it's QPR at home next and if you lose him and then he's fit for that, a big red arrow incoming.

    What should i do With this team?

    DeGea (CHE) - Myhill

    Baines (bur) - Wisdon (CRY) - Hutton (qpr) - Duff - Wilson

    Di Maria (CHE) - Hazard (man) - Sterling (HUL) - Sigrudsson (LEI) - Boyd

    Aguero (whu) - Pelle (STK) - Welbeck (sun)

    1FT and 1,5M in the bank.
    A huge problem is DeGea in the goal.

    1. Hammers Select
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      DeGea -> Forster.

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Save FT.

    Who are people's Costa replacement if he is out for an extended period of time? Falcao for me if he does well today.

    1. r0binh0
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Pelle for GW9-12, then Bony.

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

      Aguero but secretly hoping Falcao joins the big boys club....and then maybe...

    3. droginexile
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Will probly replace Costa and Ulloa with Pelle and Welbeck. Already have Aguero

    4. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Aguero for me

    5. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Boyd

    6. Rossamous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Easily Aguero or Pelle if you don't already have them..

    7. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      If confirmed out a while then prob Welbeck to go with my Pelle and aguero.

    8. Jones Town
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Did Costa to Pelle at 2am last night (thought I had dreamt that until I checked this morning)

  20. Snevitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Where to use a transfer?..........

    Begovic, Guzan,
    Baines, Ivanovic, Alderweireld, (Wilson, Moore)
    ADM, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy (Boyd)
    Costa, Pelle, Welbeck

    2 FT, 0 ITB

    I can't see any stand out moves, I'm happy with the rotation of my keepers and I'm trying to live with not having Aguero as I think my front three will all do well for their prices.

    I considered Ivanovic to Coleman but not sure it's an upgrade.

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I would get rid of Bego for a 4m Keeper, perhaps McCarthy and just play Guzan up until the winter wildcard

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

        Hmmm, it would free up £1m, just depends how I'd spend it.....
        Thanks, good suggestion.

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

      Good team, I'd get rid of Ivan for Clyne or Coleman. If you get Clyne you could do Siggy > Barkley.

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

        Thanks, not sure I want to lose Siggy at the mo. Double attacking Everton defence is tempting though.

  21. patshaw
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Bego
    Clyne-Terry-Duff-Chester-Ferdinand
    Sterling-ADM-Fab-Sigu-Albrigthon
    Costa-Aguero-Naismith

    Suggested moves?

    Im considering Terry to Baines, Costa to Pelle and Naismith to Welbeck or Ferdinand to Chambers for a -4.

    Thanks guys.

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      dont get chambers!

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I'm not sure about getting rid of Costa but all three players you want to get in have great upcoming fixtures and are capable of big scores.

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

        Naismith to Welbeck - forget Chambers.

    3. Jones Town
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I did Costa to Pelle last night and plan Ivanovic to Baines for a -4, although havent pulled the trigger just yet...

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

    Can't wait for Aguero to blank this week! 😀

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Please this!! but I can't see it happening

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      If he plays anything like he did at weekend, not a hope in hell's chance he blanks.

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

        Obviously, but West Ham are flying, full of confidence and Upton Park is a tough place to win.

  23. Sz21
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    DDG,
    Wisdom, Clyne, Naylor
    Di Maria, Mane, Sterling, Siggy,
    Aguero, Welbeck, Costa

    Subs. Gilks, Chambers, Cahill, Marney,
    1 ft- 0.4 in account..

    What would u do here??
    It's tricky- There are a few on my radar!

    1. Sz21
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      May be tempted to save for another week.

      Sterling/Siggy/Cahill/ Costa/ Mane/ DDG on the not sure how they will go list..

      Missing- Tadic/Fabregas/ Eriksen/ Sanchez/Lukaku/ Pelle/ Baines..

      It's a bit of a lottery at this stage!

  24. stephenl15
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    3 points from Di Maria at least. Pleeeease.

    1. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I think you mis-typed that. Surely you meant 13? 😉

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

      You drop in rank the more he gets. Is 100 that important?

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

        Might result in a rank drop this week, but all points are good points, particularly at this stage in the game. Might be worth dropping ADM and stealing a march over his owners perhaps, thus meaning you still get the points and the benefit of more points from the swap (should you manage to judge it well).

        basically, i mean we should be wary of viewing weeks in isolation.

    3. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Take it you're currently on 97 as well?

    c) Dawson WBA

    1. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…

      A) Chambers

    2. FISSH

      Don't get Chambers.

    Are black spiders as big as my thumb nail dangerous? I have one running around on my desk...

    😕

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      is it carrying a knife or ebola?

    2. FISSH

      doesn't matter of the size, this is England. haha

    3. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Any black spiders should be considered deadly

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

      Potentially yes.

    5. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

      It is if it is a black widow spider ... 😆

            You can't trust any of the little critters in Australia. Just about any of them could kill you 😐

  29. 7shadesofsmoke

    Anyone considering the Pig in GW11?

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Rooney? Nah

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        his FPL pedigree is awesome and the fixtures are good.

        United will have gelled (you'd hope) and he could be a brilliant diff. Set pieces, assists, bonus points...

        I think i might go for him

        1. Cars and Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          I just can't look passed his withdrawn position.

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

      Only injury, bans or Pellé consistently outscoring Welbeck will make me change Agurero, Costa, Welbeck

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Erm... Pelle has been consistently outscoring welbeck

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

          He has played far more minutes and costs a lot more. Too early to say that

          1. Cars and Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            You didn't mention cost initially. And in the last five games they've played similar amounts of minutes. Pelle wins 44 to 24 by my calculations.

      2. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Wait until Walcott consistently outscores Sterling/Cesc/ADM. And Welbeck.

    3. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Falcao for me

  30. Mojo Rojo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Hovering over the transfer button... 2fts and just enough for PvA & Sterling > Baines & Tadic. What say you? Yay or nay?

    1. Mavric Marco
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Keep Sterling IMO

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Sterling is an interesting one. I'm keeping but I couldn't really argue against those moves.

    3. Wouter
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      That's a move I'm considering but just saw the Liverpool game highlights and Sterling looked sharpp.
