Scout Notes

Scout Scribbles – Sigurdsson at the Double

Gylfi Sigurdsson bags a brace as Iceland see off Holland. Graziano Pelle nets on his debut for Italy. Edin Dzeko is in the goals for Bosnia. Eden Hazard and Vincent Kompany recover from injury to start for Belgium but Nacer Chadli misses out with a hip problem.

SIGURDSSON’S ICELAND GOAL SPREE CONTINUES

Gylfi Sigurdsson added to his strike against Latvia on Friday by bagging a brace for Iceland in their shock 2-0 win over Holland in last night’s Euro qualifier. The Swansea midfielder opened the scoring with a spot-kick before adding the second just before half-time with a precise volley.

The Scout Says: With six goals and six assists in his last twelve appearances for club and country, it’s fair to say that Sigurdsson is looking as desirable now as he has done all season. The only qualm thus far has been his goal threat in a Swansea shirt, and his 45% ownership will now be hoping that the 6.8-priced midfielder can finally transfer his scoring form to the league – it’s still just one strike for the campaign for the Icelander, and that was back in Gameweek 1, with team-mates Wayne Routledge and Nathan Dyer both overshadowing him in that regard with two and three goals respectively.

PELLE AMONGST THE GOALS FOR ITALY

Graziano Pelle grabbed a debut goal for Italy in their 1-0 European Championship Qualifier victory over Malta last night.

The Scout Says: Whilst Gameweek 7 served up a rare blank for Pelle, last night’s strike could help re-ignite the form that saw him return points in each of the previous four Gameweeks. Withdrawn on 74 minutes after his side went down to 10 men, Pelle should be brimming with confidence when the Saints face Sunderland on Saturday afternoon. Following the Black Cats clash, Ronald Koeman’s men have four more enticing fixtures to look forward to (STK, hul, LEI, avl), and Pelle, at 7.9, is likely to continue to make a mockery of his mid-price valuation.

MIXED NEWS FOR CITY

Man City’s Edin Dzeko netted for Bosnia and Herzegovina last night as their Euro Qualifier with Belgium ended level pegging at 1-1. Vincent Kompany lined up against his team-mate for the Belgians after recovering from the knock sustained in his previous international outing, though Manuel Pellegrini now has worries over the services of fellow centre-back, Eliaquim Mangala, as the defender is a doubt for France’s next qualifier against Armenia this evening with a thigh problem.

The Scout Says: He may have only scored in just one of his last seven league appearances, but Dzeko still seems likely to start against Spurs this weekend, despite the fact that Stefan Jovetic is available after recovering from injury to feature as a sub for Montenegro. Another blank, however, and the Bosnian will begin to test the patience of both his manager and his 10% ownership, with Jovetic waiting in the wings to earn a recall to the starting XI. Meanwhile, at the back for City, Mangala’s injury concerns could allow Martin Demichelis a route back into Pellegrini’s back four alongside Kompany – with decent fixtures ahead for the Citizens (TOT whm, MUN, qpr, SWA), the Argentine could be set to profit if he can re-earn his spot.

HAZARD BACK FOR BELGIUM

Having missed out on his side’s drubbing of Andorra last week with a knock, Eden Hazard returned to Belgium’s starting line-up last night and played the full 90 minutes in the draw with Bosnia.

The Scout Says: Hazard’s run-out last night should ease worries ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday. Doubts over his fitness have kept investment relatively low up until now, with only 17,000 managers having brought him in so far this week despite his goal in Gameweek 7, but that number could be set to increase now his injury fears have subsided. Nonetheless, with an ownership at 13%, he continues to look a truly explosive differential option as Chelsea face up to three leaky defences in their next three fixtures (cry, mun, QPR).

Chadli Misses Out with Hip Problem

The Tottenham midfielder played no part in Belgium’s match last night after picking up a hip problem during the warm-up.

The Scout Says: With four goals and an assist in the first seven Gameweeks, Chadli has been a man transformed this season under Mauricio Pochettino. Sitting just four points off the top of the FPL midfield standing, he’s owned by a mere 11% of Fantasy managers, with over 57,000 drafting him in over the international break. Given that he’s set to travel to City this weekend, non-owners will be prepared to monitor the situation for now but with Newcastle, Villa, Stoke and Hull in the following four, he has the fixtures to challenge Sigurdsson at the summit. Should he miss out, Christian Eriksen has now served up two sets of double figures in the last four and has dropped to 7.8 – with a 7% ownership, he’s another player who could be set to prosper.

AMAT CLOSING IN ON RETURN

Swansea centre-back Jordi Amat is confident that he will recover from the knee injury he sustained against Chelsea midway through September in time for his side’s clash with Everton in Gameweek 10:

“I’m getting better every day and I’m feeling good. I was glad we had the international break because it means I’ve had more time to recover. I’m working hard each day with the staff here and hopefully I’ll be ready to play in around two weeks. I’m hoping to train during the week of the Leicester game with the aim of being in contention the following week.”

The Scout Says: Having started Swansea’s first four fixtures of the season and picked up consecutive clean sheets against Burnley and West Brom, Amat was looking great value for his 4.5 price tag before he succumbed to injury. His spell on the sidelines has given summer signing Federico Fernandez a route into Garry Monk’s first XI, and the two now look set to compete for a starting role alongside Ashley Williams in the heart of defence for the remainder of the season. Fantasy managers will certainly be backing Amat to win the contest, with the Spaniard coming in at 0.6 cheaper than Fernandez, though he may have his work cut out in reclaiming his starting role upon his return from injury – the Everton clash in Gameweek 10 is followed by the arrival of Arsenal at the Liberty before a trip to Man City in Gameweek 12.

WALCOTT RETURNS TO FULL TRAINING

Arsenal’s Theo Walcott is back in full training as he reaches the final stages of recovery from the knee injury suffered back in January.

The Scout Says: With the Gunners’ injury list beginning to mount, Walcott’s long-awaited return will come as a great relief for Arsene Wenger. Fantasy managers should, however, be cautious about immediately racing for the England man’s services – after missing just seven league matches with injury early on in the 2013/14 campaign, Wenger then utilised him as a substitute on four successive occasions upon his return, playing a total of just 60 minutes across those fixtures. If that record is anything to go by, it may still be a while before we see the 9.0-priced Walcott in the Gunners’ starting XI this season, though it’s worth noting that Walcott still managed to pick up a pair of assists during that period, in spite of his limited pitch time.

    Hi Guys any help greatly appreciated:

    Guzan

    Ivanovic Clyne Naylor

    Fab Siggy Tadic Sterling

    Costa Aguero Ulloa

    Begovic Quinn Moore Duff 1.2 ITB 2 ft what to do? Toying with Naylor > Tomkins and rolling a transfer over with 0.7 ITB. Really stuck, Ideally would like ADM, Baines or Dat uy but unsure were to start!.

    Cheers

    1. Mane Of Steel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Naylor to Tomkins is a similar transfer i am considering.

    2. Cabra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ivan --> Baines is what i would do. Solely based on the fact i think Baines will do better tha Ivan in the next 6-8 GW.
      Naylor do have some hard fix coming up, but i'm not convinced about Tomkins fix list either.

      Although i don't have Tadic myself, i would give him one more game and then switch to Chadli if i comes up short again.

      1. Spatburgunder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You could be onto something, could do Tadic and Ulloa > Chadli and Dat guy/Pelle next week. hmm still need to burn a transfer this week though

        1. Cabra
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          True, if you have 2FT one do feel obliged to use at least one. Otherwise if yuo take a hit later, it paines even more. But a plan to get ADM in is something i also would try to do. Maybe get rid of fabs? I considering getting rid of him to be able to get in Aguero.

    3. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Now I'm thinking Ivan, Fab, Ulloa > Baines, ADM, and Cisse! for a -4 someone talk me out of this international break induced madness!

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah...I can't believe so few are taking up the offer...

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It's because of the other forwards on offer. It's not easy to remove one of them.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yes it is....Newcastle are fourth highest for shots inside the box for the season btw behind City, Liverpool and Chelsea...If Cisse hits any sort of form (and he has) he could be the bargain of the season...as well as Pardew's saviour.

          1. Spatburgunder
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Don't say that ! I'm undecided enough with my transfers (above) as it is 😆

            1. Dr Dream
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              All true....Attacking teams for the season arranged by collective ICT threat for the whole team...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4689/....Needless to say Rivière did't contribute much to that threat...

              1. Piggs Boson
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Rivière's finishing was awful.

          2. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Newcastle forwards do have a habit of being top FPL players... Shearer... Carroll... Ba...

    2. Spatburgunder

      Di Maria...I wouldn't dare go without him

      I'd sell Tadic to get him. This won't be popular around here, and makes you more template, but that should stop you sliding down the rankings

    3. Cabra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Doesn't look like a bad team. This week I might just do Tadic to Chadli, which leaves you enough to switch Dzeko to Aguero next week--or if you're impatient do both for a hit.

    5. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years

    Just how annoyed would you be as a prem league manager at having your star played dragged thousands of miles for an international match...and then further still just to sit on the bench ?...A seriously long journey home now for Kun and ADM..

    No wonder Mourinho invents injuries for his players...

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      In fairness how annoying must it be for international managers ? . They get the squad together for only a couple of games a year in order to prepare for qualifying + tournaments and all they get is grief from managers about playing time and injuries . International teams get very little prep time and Aguero and Di Maria are senior players its important to have them around

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I agree completely. It's about more than just a 90minute match. It's about building chemistry and a pattern of play and international managers have next to no time to create this

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I agree if it was reasonable travel..but it isn't...see below...

          1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
            • 14 Years

            Ofc it's crazy they play games in these places for the cash but i really don't think that is the managers decision. Just the respective FA on a money spinner.

            1. Dr Dream
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Yep...Probably not a damned thing the manager can do about it even if he wanted to...I can't believe for one minute the Argentinian manager would want them doing all this instead of having a couple of games in S America from a base training camp..

        • 11 Years

        This is one of those points where you know it's right, but you still can't get behind it. Why can't these internattional managers put their priorities where they belong: on FPL!

      3. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        The Brazilians and Argentinians aren't really doing that though are they ?...They both embark on far flung PR and revenue exercises far from their own shores against tiny teams of no value...If Argentina or Brazil had two games in S America then fair enough but this is a nonsense really...

        Jet Lag can be a dousy. Mightnt be 100% sharp during the game which I guess can be the difference between slotting home a goal or being switched off. Game of inches stuff, but in general you'd think they'd be fine. Esp flying 1st class 😉

    Then, next week: Cisse--->Welbeck/Lukaku/Pelle

    Sunderland have been fairly solid at the back recently...can't see the Saints overthrowing them + I have Tadic as "cover"....

      Seems a complete waste of 2 trades imo.

      You have no other moves you could make? I personally wouldn't do this move but I can understand your reasoning

  13. Louis
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Right then, my defence needs sorting out;

    DDG
    Moreno Clyne PvA Moore Wisdom

    I have 3,4 in the bank. Any suggestions???

    1. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Chambers, Kompany, Azpi, Spurs defender, few options there if you want to spend the cash.

    2. Villan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moreno or PVA to Baines?

    3. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      pva -> azpi

    4. testmat-20210805.8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      PVA to Azpi for me. Azpi is a good differential and has been earning the bonus points.

  14. Villan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi all, any help would be appreciated on the following :-

    Forster

    Ivanovic Duff PVA

    Fabregas Sterling Chadli Siggy

    Aguero Costa Pelle

    Elliot Hutton Chester Albrighton

    1FT 2.4 ITB

    I was thinking :-

    A) Save FT and go PVA + Chester -> Baines + Moore/Wisdom (play 2 from Duff, PVA, Hutton)
    B) As A but do it now (-4)
    C) Fabregas -> ADM (though I'm thinking not worth it until Utd's tricky fixtures are out of the way)

    Any thoughts???

    1. testmat-20210805.8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd go B even if that means you take a hit.

    2. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

  15. testmat-20210805.8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Help would be appreciated!

    My team:
    Heaton-Mannone
    Wilson-Clyne-Moore-Cahill-Duff
    ADM-Siggy-Sterling-Tadic-Boyd
    Pelle-Costa-Falcao

    I have 2 FTs and 1.7 ITB

    I'm thinking:
    A) Falcao to Welbeck and Wilson to Baines (or Coleman - Iva is out of the equation for me because I need to win a mini-league) --- this move leaves me with 2.8 ITB and if Tadic's form screws up, I can use those funds to upgrade him.
    B) Falcao to Aguero --- this means I only use 1 FT
    C) Staying put

    What should I do?

    1. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Falcao + Cahill > Aguero + Baines

      1. testmat-20210805.8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thank you for this! I tried it just now but I came up short. Cahill is valued at 6.4 and Baines is at 7 and I came up short by 0.2.

        1. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Damn sorry man!
          Thought Cahill was 6.5 and Falcao 11....
          Would you hit for it? -4? Could scratch some change outta Duff, Wilson or Heaton?

          1. testmat-20210805.8
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I'll try something and yes, I'm open to the idea of taking a hit.

            1. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              It's high risk and not necessary, but boy it would be a blast

    2. JaydenLFC87
      • 10 Years

      C

    3. Villan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It basically boils down to do you want Baines or Aguero? A probably leaves you with a more rounded squad, though personally I'd want both Baines and Aguero

      1. testmat-20210805.8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thank you for the input. Yeah, A would give me a more rounded squad. I'd try my darned best to get both Kun and Baines.

        1. Villan
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No worries. That's what I'm trying to do. My idea is to have the two best attacking defenders (Ivan and Baines) and then 3 super cheap players to rotate (Duff, Hutton, Moore/Wisdom).

          My only worry is it leaves me a little light in midfield. But Chadli has fantastic stats, Siggy looks a season keeper and Fabregas and Sterling are both consistent. This allows for both Kun and Baines (and Ivan).

          So Bootsy's move could be a great call. Maybe downgrade Wilson and upgrade Cahill -> Hutton + Baines. Then next week Falcao to Aguero?

  21. Nolberto Solano
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which option!!?

    A) PVa -> Baines & Fabregas -> Chadli or Mane

    B) PVa -> Baines & Pelle -> Naismith

    1. mipola
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. mipola
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        But wait for news regarding Chadli's injury.

        1. Nolberto Solano
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          If Chadli is out for a while, should I go through with A with Mane?

          1. mipola
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            It's too early to get Mane ,so i would hold the transfer.

    2. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years

    3. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years

      A, if you must, with Chadli (if fit)

  22. mipola
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sunderland or Swansea,which team's defense do you rate more?

    1. Nolberto Solano
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      On the fixtures alone I'd go with Swansea

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sunderland

    3. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      swan

    4. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Swansea > Sunderland

    5. mipola
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I prefer Sunderland defense myself.Swans defensive stats look worrying,lucky to have got those 3 clean sheets.

    6. Villan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Swansea at Home for sure, plus Sunderland have some terrible fixtures coming up. Swansea have a few poor ones but not as many as Sunderland!

    1. Konig Luther

      Shaqira 😎 😆

    3. Bubz

      Shaq

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years

        I still look back fondly on his hat trick in the world cup, I brought him in for that game!

        True

    5. Van Dal

      Same here, still undecided on (C)

  25. JoeSoap

    WC team - any thoughts or potential changes appreciated. (0.3 in bank)

    Heaton/Foster
    Baines, Bert, Hutton, Moore, Tomkins
    ADM, Siggy, Sterling, Chadli, Wanyama,
    Aguero, Costa, Wellbeck

  26. Woy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero owners, are you going all out with an Aguero (C) this weekend or playing safe with Costa

    1. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Playing it safe. I know City spanked them last year but you've got to think Tottenham are somewhat of a difficult fixture. Cue Aguero hat trick now

    2. Damo.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      All out. I bought him for his home game hauls. Hope they start this week

    3. Wild Rover

    4. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Probably Costa for me. Seems more likely to score imo

    5. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Went all out last week.

      This week Costa (c) vs Palace....juicy

      Spurs will be tight

    6. Villan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm thinking Aguero just because he has more BAP potential than Costa. Plus if you have him he should be a captain choice when at home

    7. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Went with Aguero the last two weeks . . . thinking about Costa this time.

    8. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      If Aguero is at home and fit, hes my captain choice.

    1. Villan
      • 10 Years
