Scout Notes

Scout Scribbles – Gunners Stumble Again

A goal and assist apiece from Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez isn’t enough to stop Arsenal falling to defeat. Willian nets in Chelsea’s loss at Porto. Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson is sidelined for at least six months, whilst David Silva and Yaya Toure train ahead of City’s clash with Monchengladbach.

Gunners Suffer Setback

Arsenal’s hopes of progressing from their Champions League group were dealt a hammer blow following a 3-2 home defeat to Olympiakos – their second loss in as many Group F matches. Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez restored parity on two occasions – and grabbed the assists for each other’s strikes – but the Gunners were ultimately undone by some poor defending and a calamitous error from David Ospina. Nacho Monreal was rested, while Aaron Ramsey entered the fray at the hour mark. Petr Cech had a minor calf problem so was only fit enough for the bench, but the fit-again Francis Coquelin was named in the starting XI. Worryingly for Arsene Wenger, Laurent Koscielny suffered a hamstring problem and was withdrawn after 57 minutes.

The Scout Says: Walcott now has two goals in as many European starts to complement his couple of strikes in three league outings, underlining his burgeoning presence at the point of Arsenal’s attack. Pitched at 8.5 in the FPL, he serves as a more affordable route into the Gunners’ attack than Sanchez (11.1) ahead of a tough quintet of fixtures (MUN, wat, EVE, swa, tot). With Olivier Giroud suspended last night, Walcott has now started three of the last four in all competitions and those considering the latter will be hoping that Wenger doesn’t alternate the pair for the weekend clash against United. Sanchez’s capacity for explosive returns – as evidenced by his hat-trick last Gameweek – is sure to grant him a wave of new investors, given the paucity of strong captaincy options this term. Koscielny’s injury will be a concern for all Fantasy managers that have recruited from the North London outfit’s rearguard, given that Arsenal have failed to register a clean sheet with Per Mertesacker on board this term.

Blues Fall to Defeat

Chelsea suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of a strong Porto outfit. Willian equalised in the dying embers of the first period with an accurate free-kick, but the Blues went behind seven minutes into the second half following some lackadaisical defending from a corner. Jose Mourinho opted to name Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic on the substitutes bench for this encounter, handing starts to Ramires and Mikel. Hazard was then introduced at the 62-minute mark. At the back, Kurt Zouma and Gary Cahill were given the nod ahead of John Terry once again.

The Scout Says: Chelsea’s defensive travails were thrust into stark transparency once again, with Porto enjoying a wealth of shooting opportunities (22) against the English champions. The Blues’ defence shows no signs of improvement ahead of some kind upcoming fixtures, then, with Fantasy managers reluctant to invest in a backline that has conceded 14 times in seven league matches. Up next is a home clash against a Southampton side with five goals in the last two against United and Swansea, and with Sadio Mane, Dusan Tadic and Graziano Pelle in fine form, there’d be no real surprise if Mourinho’s defence was breached yet again.

Silva and Toure Train for City

David Silva, Yaya Toure and Pablo Zabaleta all trained with the Manchester City squad ahead of their Champions League clash against Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday. Conversely, Vincent Kompany and Eliaquim Mangala continue to nurse their respective injuries and were unable to take part.

The Scout Says: Silva’s return to action will come as a relief to all Fantasy managers who’ve invested in the Sky Blues’ squad. In the four matches that the Spaniard started prior to sustaining a calf injury, Manuel Pellegrini’s men amassed 10 unanswered goals. Without Silva’s creative spark, however, they’ve found the net on just three occasions, with Kevin de Bruyne proving the only real positive in Silva’s absence. Bacary Sagna’s 13% ownership will be nervously awaiting the team sheets on Saturday afternoon, with Zabaleta waiting in the wings for his first league start of the campaign. Sagna has been a solid performer at right-back this term, but the threat of rotation is heightened considerably in the wake of a 4-1 defeat to Spurs. City’s defence is a different proposition without their talismanic captain, Kompany: they shipped six goals in their last two outings, having recorded five successive clean sheets with the Belgian on the field. Nonetheless, a Martin Demichelis/Nicolas Otamendi centre-back partnership is more than capable of rebuffing the advances of Newcastle and Bournemouth (devoid of top scorer, Callum Wilson) in back-to-back home ties.

Cherries Confirm Wilson Absence

Callum Wilson has been ruled out for at least six months after scans revealed that he sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament during the early exchanges of Bournemouth’s trip to Stoke City. Eddie Howe expressed sympathy towards Wilson’s setback while insisting that others now have to up their game to compensate for his absence:

”It’s very disappointing for Callum, after what has been an exceptional start to the season, but I am sure he will come back fitter and stronger. Callum is the type of character who won’t be fazed by such a setback, and I am sure he will turn this experience into a positive in the long run. As I have said many times before though, this kind of setback offers others the opportunity to step up to the plate, show everybody what they can do and make a real impact at this level.”

The Scout Says: Wilson’s injury has sparked a mass exodus across the Fantasy games. Initially priced at 5.5 in FPL, his five goals in six matches made him one of the most popular frontman around and over 290,000 managers have already cut ties with the Cherries frontman this week. This has persuaded many to turn to Leicester’s Jamie Vardy, who’s been picked up by over 270,000 new owners on the back of five goals in four. Wilson’s injury clearly spells trouble for Bournemouth’s attacking prospects, given that he accounted for over half (five) of their nine goals this campaign. It may well be that Glenn Murray is tasked with replacing Wilson up top by Eddie How, though it remains to be seen if he’ll have the same impact. Although Murray (5.6) bagged seven goals and three assists for Crystal Palace last term – despite being named in the starting XI on just nine occasions – he lacks Wilson’s pace and movement in the lone striker role, which were key components of the Cherries’ play in the final third.

Agbonlahor Close to Return

Tim Sherwood revealed that Gabriel Agbonlahor is recovering well from the calf injury that sidelined him for Aston Villa’s trip to Liverpool:

“Gabby is improving every day. We’re giving him some treatment every day and just assessing it and making sure it’s right. With the explosive power that Gabby has, the calf isn’t the greatest place to get injured. It’s where you push off and where your power comes from. We want to make sure that doesn’t turn into anything a lot more serious than what it is.”

The Scout Says: With three goals in his last two outings in all competitions, Rudy Gestede has earned himself a run of starts as the spearhead of the Villans’ attack. Agbonlahor, meanwhile, has managed just one assist in five league appearances so far and may struggle to remain ahead of the summer signing for the lone striker role. The latter could be shifted onto the flank in Sherwood’s favoured 4-2-3-1 set-up upon his return from the treatment room, thus vying with the likes of Jack Grealish and Scott Sinclair for a starting berth. Gestede catches the eye by virtue of a 5.8 price tag, yet the West Midlanders’ testing run through to Gameweek 14 (STO, che, SWA, tot, MCI, eve) serves to diminish their prospects on the offensive front.

United Concerns Over Trio

Louis van Gaal said that Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia are all doubts for Manchester United’s Champions League tie against Wolfsburg on Wednesday, having sat out training on Tuesday with minor injuries:

“I think Michael Carrick shall not play tomorrow [Wednesday]. The other two [Herrera and Valencia] we have to wait and see. They have minor injuries so I don’t want to take any risks. Like we have done with Wayne Rooney, we will do the same for Michael Carrick or Ander Herrera. It’s the same because we have to play a full season and it’s better to withdraw players for one match than they play and get injured.”

The Scout Says: While Herrera has been marginalised by Wayne Rooney’s deployment at the number-ten berth, Carrick has been the mainstay in the double pivot during the Red Devils’ three-match winning streak, with Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger rotating alongside him. Doubtless Van Gaal will be keen to retain that formula ahead of a challenging quartet of match-ups (ars, eve, MCI, cry). With Luke Shaw a long-term absentee and Marcos Rojo carrying a hamstring injury, Valencia was tasked with filling it at right-back against Sunderland, causing Matteo Darmian to shift over to the opposite flank. Any potential injury to Valencia would certainly ease fears of Darmian being rotated, after the Italian was hauled off at the break against Southampton in Gameweek 6. A spell on the sidelines for Valencia would see Darmian shift back over to the right, with Phil Jones’ potential return to the starting XI allowing Van Gaal to utilise the versatile Daley Blind as a left-back until the injuries ease again.

    If/when Wilson gets another price drop this week, will his transfers be reseted after deadline?
    That happened for Martial last week?

    Walcott is only player that comes to my mind for 0.3 drop and not sure if that reseting happened for him too (dropped another 0.2 week after 0.3 drop).

    1. The Gambler.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      its a max +- 0.3m cap, yes, so will be reset after next fall

      1. The Gambler.
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        0.3 per GW that is

      2. Mr Sarcastic
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks.
        I would image 90 % of active players have removed him before deadline, so there might be no imminent price drop saturday-sunday then.
        That's what I'm hoping at least 🙂

        1. Jøssy ⭐
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I'm sure there's plenty that are stuck with him for at least one week, whilst they make an enabling transfer. I'd have thought after two weeks we should have bottomed out. Only guessing.

          1. Mr Sarcastic
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            That could very well be true and I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm losing only 0.1m on this waiting game 🙂

      3. Jøssy ⭐
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Really? I though that with rises, if for example 20,000 got you to +0.1, 40,000 to +0.2 and 80,000 got you to +0.3, and a player had 160,000 net transfers in that week, that the extra 20,000 transfers would carry over and an immediate increase would be inevitable at 2AM GMT following the deadline.

        1. The Gambler.
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          no, pretty sure it resets

  2. Thunder Warrior

    Gomis to Lukaku/Pele for a hit?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★

      Nope

    2. The Gambler.

      NEGATIVE

    Thoughts on BOJAN as a wilson replacement ?

    Any Stoke fans can confirm if he is nailed? On pens if Adam off the field ? By looks of things he is still getting up to full speed and not quite fully fit yet.

    Bargain at 5.3m if he can return to pre injury form. Decent fixtures for Stoke and not sold on Igahlo due to Watfords poor attacking threat.

    Alternative would be 4 point hit and joining the Vardy party?

    1. NOMONEY
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      i like him, he was on my wishlist even before the season started, but i dont think he is reliable enough yet, need to monitor for a few more games

      1. Deece
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm yeah. Feel it's worth risking it and getting him in now... (Villa away could be a goal fest) instead of taking a hit for Vardy? I'm leaning that way to be honest...

    I will be WC next week and would love to have cheap defensive rotation till GW 34 that goes well with:

    Butland X
    Kolorov Dawson X X X

    I know butland rotates with CPL but do they have a fixed keeper?? What other better GK option with/without Butland then?
    Also Dawson comes good home-away with Astonvilla but are good investment??

    1. NOMONEY
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      til GW34?? that is some serious long term planning

      Both. There will be goals in the derby.

  12. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Old articled: - just saw that Doos was on so probably one for him:
    Is there a Chance that Sakho has to move out wide or will be dropped? Will Carroll play second fiddle to him much longer or will WH change their formation and Payet moves out wide again with Moses being dropped? But surely the 442 days are gone?

    I wanna get Sakho but it seems so much more reasonable to go for Vardy who is nailed, also has the underlying stats and the easier fixtures

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No, none whatsoever. Have you watched any of our matches?

      1. MITRO'S ON FIRE
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        What do you think about Antonio, reckon he'll start to get minutes? Surprised he came in for 'big' money and hasn't yet been afforded a start

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Pushing very hard. But the money is irrelevant.

          And Lanzini is doing very well, as is Moses.

          1. Dr. Agabuse
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Lanzini seems like a very good player. Technically brilliant

      2. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Well the City one (this season), where I thought Sakho was largely anonymous (due to City attacking all of the time) and I caught Carrolls cameo vs NCastle where he booted a ball in the direction of the roof. So would you recommend Diafra? I know his stats, so don't bother with the deadly assassins this time (which doesn't mean, I appreciate a well organised table) 😉 On match of the day, I cant remember big chances (3?!) except for the goal at all btw

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Well, you were not watching the same match as I was, that's for sure.

        Doos, when can we expect Enner Valencia to return to full fitness?

      Oh and of course GW1 when I cursed a lot. 🙂
      But you reckon Sakho is a prime option? Don't have Payet either but Mahrez and that always sways me (too much)

  13. Lateriser 12

    A tidy little team check.

    McCarthy
    Kolarov Francis Richards
    Mahrez Payet KDB Sanchez
    Kun(c) Martial Vary(vc)

    Butland Westwood Prodl Gomez

    1. Mr Sarcastic

      Very good.
      3 deferences for my team and you probably win them all 😕
      Francis, KDB, Vardy vs Dawson, Yaya, Ayew

    2. Deece

      Looks good. Start Prodl over Richards? Stoke should score and Bournemouth will struggle to create without WILSON and Gradel

    Morning all. My latest article is up on FantasyYIRMA:

    http://fantasyyirma.com/2015/09/30/arsenals-alexis-sanchez-helps-kick-start-my-season-fpl-not-ucl/

    Feedback, as always, appreciated.

    1. Red Devil Swede

      Good writeup. Sanchez is key from here on out.

      1. Doolittle
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Indeed, he's a player that I have more faith in than anyone I think (probably too much). I said pre-season he'd, along with Aguero, be the top points scorer - I'm sticking by that.

        Eden! I need your help bro. post below?

      i'm getting Pelle in. He looks very dangerous atm and his fixtures are looking good

    5. pompeyfan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      personally I'd prefer Diouf or Sakho over him

  20. Gazpilicueta

    8 years, 8 months ago

    Doos, I know you are wildcarding, I wondered if you would cast your eyes over my picks....

    Hennessey, Myhill

    Kolarov, Dawson, Dier, Nyom, Francis

    Sanchez, Mahrez, Payet, Mata, Westwood

    Aguero, Pelle, Vardy

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Im gonna guess he wont like aguero dawson, keepers, maybe mahrez too

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        This

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Get rid of Mata (those fixtures)

      Get a SOT defender in them.

      Keep an eye on EVE, SOT and TOT fixtures just 4 weeks away.

      1. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Mata should do well regardless of the fixtures

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I have looked at Hennessey and Myhill. I don't think that they work very well.

      I would never have Dawson, certainly not as a double. Your defence is slightly too weak as a whole.

      Mahrez may be losing form. Why Westwood?

      I have dropped Agüero. I prefer Sakho to Vardy.

    4. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe this should help -

      Mata>Wally
      Pelle>Igloo
      Westwood>Tadic

  21. "The Special One"
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Butland, Ruddy
    Kolarov, Skrtel, Huth, Targett, Francis
    Silva, Mane, Payet, Ayew, Mahrez
    Aguero, Martial, Diouf

    2 frees this week. Skrtel/Huth > Dawson or Dann?

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No, certainly not those transfers. How much money ITB ?

      1. "The Special One"
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        0.6mil

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Davies or Dier. .wouldn't go Dann

  22. La Vida Latte
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Thankful for tips

    Should I
    A) Save transfer and bench Gomis
    B) Do Gomis -> Vardy and then bench
    1) Sako
    2) Ighalo

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Save FT and bench Ighalo

      1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        or Sako.

        1. La Vida Latte
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Thanks! I have so many benching dilemmas this year. I think I must get a bench fodder to save me from the benching agony! 🙂

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd play Gomis and bench Sako. Pardew praised Zaha after the last game. Sako might not be nailed on as we'd think.

      1. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        That could be a good option. Thanks!
        I am worried about Gomis not getting the game time. Why was he substituted after 45 last week? And Tottenham are in good form too?

        1. mookie
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Read in here he had a poor performance(didn't watch the game). Am confident he'll start and i wouldn't sell a striker with two home games coming up especially as Swansea are solid at home.

  23. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I can do Westwood -> Tadic this week which would give me

    Sanchez KDB Mahrez Payet Tadic
    Kun Martial Vary

    But i think i would much rather have Mane or Pelle. Who would you lose?

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Dont like tadic or an expensive 5th mif

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Who would you get rid of to get Mane or Pelle?

        Martial to Pelle looks doable. But which mid would you lose first?

        1. The Machine
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldnt want any of them this week. Maybe martial to peele the following week

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            This is about the following week.

        2. *sigh*
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Mahrez

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Mane usually does not play after International Breaks

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        This is good advice. Thanks.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I am getting Tadic next week

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Keeping an eye on him myself.

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              🙂

  24. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Stick with Suarez (C) (18 pts total) or swap for CR7?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Swap imo

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        He isn't in some form, but he is always firing at UCL. I'll have to have good think.

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      ?

    3. TotalJustice
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      swap

  25. jimbobmij
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I really can't justify benching Redmond when he's home to the porous defensive that is Leicester. My only other feasible benching options would be Martial or Vardy however, both of which are in great form.

    Is this the week for the all out attack chip? My playing defenders atm are Cresswell, Francis and Kolarov.. all of whom also annoyingly have good fixtures.

    Opinions?

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Great problem to have. I'd be tempted to play AOA and bench Francis.

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Redmond is not a sure starter but if you think he will start then it's between him and Martial imo.

    3. naits
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      i would bench martial to be honest. dont see many goals in the arsenal-united game

  26. easy_conners
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Which one to play?

    A. Williams (eve) or
    B. Richards (stk)

    1. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Williams.

  27. BAYXXIII
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    The better combination out of

    1. Haz Diouf Deeney
    2. Pedro Lukaku Deeney
    3. Pedro Diouf Vardy

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      1.Hazard Vardy Igloo

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      3 without Pedro

  28. Gazpilicueta
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Ok, Ive had a rejig. thoughts on this team?

    Myhill Hennessey

    Kolarov, Dier, Francis/Nyom 4.0

    Sanchez, KDB, Mahrez, Payet 4.5

    Aguero, Vardy, Pelle

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I dislike this team......previous one was better , your defence is toothless

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Kolarov and Dier to play every week with either Nyom or Francis....I'm struggling bro....back to the drawing board I think. at the moment, I am pretty sure I want

        Vardy, Aguero, Pelle, Sanchez, Payet. the other spots are up for grabs

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          So KDB > YYT?

          1. Gazpilicueta
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            in form > just back from injury and under performing?

      2. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Maybe downgrade one of Payet or Pelle?

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      4.0 -> Janmaat
      &
      KdB -> Yaya (if he's fit of course)

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        This

        1. Gazpilicueta
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          really? Yaya? but hes not doing anything! KDB is so scary to watch when u dont have him

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Get Wanyama for that cheap midfielder.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        wanyama still leaking owners, likely to drop again?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          It is possible, yes.

  29. jackx13
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Should I play Cresswell ahead of R. Martin? Have Ruddy and other DEFs are Kolarov, Francis and Prodl.

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I definetly would.
