Wilson avoids blank yet again as mid-price FPL assets impress

Four goals were shared by two in-form teams at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, with plenty to interest Fantasy managers on the south coast.

Our Scout Notes article below recaps the best of the action.

Bournemouth 2-2 West Ham United

  • Goals: Callum Wilson (£7.9m), Josh King (£6.3m) | Andriy Yarmolenko (£5.9m), Aaron Cresswell (£4.9m)
  • Assists: Nathan Ake (£4.9m), King | Sebastien Haller (£7.4m), Felipe Anderson (£6.9m)
  • Bonus: King x3, Yarmolenko x2, Ake x1

A highly entertaining encounter at Bournemouth ended equal as Callum Wilson‘s (£7.9m) remarkable run of returns continued and Andriy Yarmolenko (£5.9m) reiterated his growing attacking threat.

The Cherries frontman scored his side’s second goal on Saturday to make it seven straight Gameweeks with a haul to his name.

His 46 points to date has only been bettered by two strikers, and four players overall, in Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

And after a less-is-more performance in Gameweek 6’s win at Southampton, in which he scored from his only shot of the match, Wilson was much busier against West Ham.

In truth, Wilson could, and should, have produced more points than the six he eventually managed.

He failed to convert one especially golden opportunity when clean through as substitute goalkeeper Roberto (£4.4m) pulled off a good save, and VAR declined to award him a penalty following a late tussle in the box with Aaron Cresswell (£4.9m).

But with a decent set of fixtures to come over the next six Gameweeks – even Arsenal away and a visit from Manchester United will hold few fears for him – it would be no surprise if Wilson’s ownership surpasses its current 11.5% level.

Maximum bonus on the day went to his teammate Josh King (£6.3m), who swept home when a cross deflected off Nathan Ake (£4.9m) and into his path. The goal was originally deemed offside, only for VAR, after a lengthy, spirit-of-football-sapping delay, to correct the error.

The Norway international then played in Wilson to give Bournemouth the lead after the break.

King, with 8.4% ownership, has played second Fantasy fiddle to his fellow forward so far this season, but he has now produced two goals and three assists – a solid return for a player a full £1.6m cheaper than his team-mate.

With Ryan Fraser (£7.2m) sidelined because of illness, King again lined up on the left wing of a 4-4-2 – although whether the Scot would have been anything other than a substitute anyway after the Cherries’ recent form without him is another question.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe was fairly pleased with his side’s performance.

It’s too early to make assumptions about where we’ll finish, but in terms of our general play and how the team sets up, I do think there’s more to come from us. It doesn’t mean we have to concede at the other end, it’s not an excuse for conceding. We have to tighten up in that respect as we can’t have to score three to win.

That nod to the Cherries’ defensive fragility once again highlighted the perilous nature of owning members of their backline.

Bournemouth have kept precisely zero clean sheets this season and only two teams have coughed up more attempts than the 118 they’ve allowed, although Arsenal (on 110) might run that figure close by the end of Monday night.

As a result, the team’s two most popular Fantasy defenders, Ake (11.9%) and the 10.8%-owned Diego Rico (£4.1m), have only held their own thanks to attacking returns and, in the latter’s case, a bargain bucket price tag.

The defensive outlook might be brighter with a stalling Norwich, Watford and Newcastle to come in the next few weeks, but a change in the schedule from Gameweek 16, when they’ll have to face Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea in the space of four fixtures, means that only Wilson and King remain overly attractive options.

The same cannot be said of West Ham who, after a so-so start, are providing good returns at both ends of the pitch.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men came into the match on a three-game run of clean sheets, prompting 134,852 managers to bring in Lukasz Fabianski (£5.1m), who is joint-top of the goalkeeper’s chart with 32 points.

He managed only one point and 33 minutes at Bournemouth, however, as he injured his hip taking a goal-kick.

Pellegrini hedged his bets about the issue post-match:

Lukasz felt a problem in a muscle in his hip when he tried to kick the ball. We need to know more about it with a medical examination. Goalkeeper is an important player, but I trust a lot in Roberto also. Roberto played well, he’s a very good goalkeeper and we will see what will happen with Lukasz’s injury and how many weeks he will be out.

Using coveted transfer slots on goalkeepers is never high on a Fantasy manager’s list of priorities, but 6.8% of them might be forced into action sometime this week, with a straight swap to Roberto at least freeing up some funds.

Transfers involving other West Ham assets could well be on the minds of many more managers than that, though.

Cresswell scored for the second week running and is a reliable dead-ball specialist, while fellow full-back Ryan Fredericks (£4.5m) recovered from a knock to start his seventh straight match and has been a model of consistency at a competitive price.

But it is in midfield where the Hammers have talent in abundance, with Yarmolenko the pick of a burgeoning crop.

The Ukraine international had double the penalty area touches of any other midfielder at the Vitality Stadium, and he scored for the second week running when he controlled Sebastien Haller‘s (£7.4m) touch, half turned Ake and curled the ball into the net.

His manager was fulsome in his praise after the game, saying:

He’s a very special player, he’s always had goals in his complete career. He was very unlucky that at his best moment last season he had an Achilles tendon injury but he’s returned and worked very hard. I’m very happy for him as he’s not only scoring, but working very hard.

With three goals from the last four Gameweeks, Yarmolenko has form, fixtures and a generous value going for him.

And the fact that he’s currently only owned by 1.8% also marks him out as a differential candidate, although that figure is already on the rise as he is currently one of the top five transfer targets for Gameweek 8.

Three other West Ham midfielders caught the eye on Saturday, with Manuel Lanzini (£6.5m) and Felipe Anderson (£6.9m) both creating two chances and Pablo Fornals (£6.1m) three.

Fornals and Anderson registered seven shots between them but it was the Brazilian – so often seen as a Fantasy troll – who ended up as the best of the trio when he provided the assist for Cresswell’s second-half equaliser.

That made it back-to-back assists – and three for the season – for Anderson, although that might not be enough to persuade those managers who have been stung by his previous taste for inconsistency.

And when Yarmolenko is the cheapest option of all four, if it’s West Ham attacking options you’re after, he looks to be the strongest candidate by a country mile.

Haller’s assist, meanwhile, was his first return since Gameweek 4. But his 5.1% ownership might be concerned that he created twice as many chances as he had shots, particularly as there are a number of more productive forwards available in his mid-range price bracket.

Whatever the option Fantasy managers eventually choose, now looks to be a good time to try and catch the West Ham wave.

They are, after all, a side in a Champions League spot, with six goals scored and only two conceded over the past four Gameweeks, and a good run of fixtures to come before November’s final international break of the year.

    Shame Bournemouth can't defend. Rico's delivery is excellent

      Shame Rico can't defend!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I do agree, a fair few chances down his side

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He's a great enabler. Not many cleansheets so far anyway so being pretty much nailed, chance of attacking returns and small chance of cs is great value at 4/4.1. Some decent fixtures coming up too, and he probably isn't in your squad to be starting every week.

        • 14 Years

        I thought he is under threat from Kelly?

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Kelly didn't make the bench last week. Can't see him displacing Mepham or Francis on the bench

        2. antis0cial
          • 7 Years

          I'd say it's his position to lose

            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            This. He's a vital part of set pieces at the moment which helps. 6 chances, 1 big chance, created this week

  2. antis0cial

    4 years, 6 months ago

    Save ft this week? Still have wc, 1.6 itb, 1ft. Having to Play one of Soyuncu/Rico this week isn't ideal but I'm not sure it's worth burning a transfer?

      Shame Lundstram could have stepped up. You need upgrade Gibson

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It's tempting to do Gibson to Lund but I was keeping the cash to potentially go Haller to Vardy after Pool. Haller does have a couple of decent games coming up though, 3 home in next 4. Do you think the Gibson upgrade is more pressing? Give me 5 playing defenders then.

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          It's one of those transfers that will always be pushed back because there's an attacking one that's better. Will certainly help you out. Leave Gibson to wc for now. I wouldn't expect much at the back this week

    Is this a good idea:

    Salah, ayew > Auba and mount?

    I am having an absolute disaster of a season. 1.8m rank- what should I do?

    WC in fact, 0.2m ITB, 2 FT (happy to hit)

    Pope (Button)
    TAA Digne Zinny Aurier Lundstram

      Sell Salah

    Is mount as good as we all think? His stats are very unimpressive. May well need a Dilva replacement this week and not a single player under 8m interests me. Is he the best we have?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Look at his price relative to his stats

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I am and recently it’s poor

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Fair enough if you got him at 6ish. For someone to get him at 6.7 now seems cheeky

      • mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Mount or Yarmolenko or find cash for Mahrez

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          No sources of cash without a hit. Mahrez doesn’t excite me as a Dilva owner Mahrez will have his turn for leaking 1 pointers soon

      • antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I like him, very attacking and is at the heart of a very attacking team. How about Maddison, great fixtures after pool?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Maddison top of my list

          So angry at Vardy for hauling yesterday - he was supposed to stay quiet for one more goddamn GW, blank at Liverpool, another price drop then straight in for that GW9 run

          Now every Tom, Richard & Harry is hopping on board 2 GW’s early

          Grrrrrrr

          1. antis0cial
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah my plan was to get Vardy in after pool, I can only take a .1 shift though. I was going to take Haller out but not so sure, he has 3 good fixtures in next 4.

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Would maybe need him now. If I can afford to hold Dilva I think Maddison is top of the list so maybe worth holding on for a potential 1 pointer again lol. He either gives 1 point or double digits ffs so worth holding on for one more go

      • Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I avoided too. Plays deep. Yama and McGinn better calls for me.

        1. mikess
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah McGinn is hugely impressive

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mcginn even deeper :O yarmolenko getting annoying I want another cheeky alternative

          1. mikess
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Couldn't care less about how deep McGinn is. His timing in the box is immaculate

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              This - “deep” definitely isn’t a guaranteed negative from an FPL perspective

              It can actually help a player get returns - but some folks prefer to load their teams with players who live in the final third, or even in the penalty box - which is understandable - but you’ll always miss a few hidden gems with that approach

          2. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            What sells Yama is he is not Chelsea and i have Abraham. Hudson Odoi back too

      • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Him & CHO both look great - great from an FPL perspective being “underpriced” rather than “will score 250 points”

        Mount is a player (like many in fact) that stats probably can and should be given a wide berth with from an evaluative or predictory perspective - he has way above average long range shooting ability - 9 goals from outside the box last season... and also heatmap-wise won’t ever look great because of his habit of late runs, just like a young version of his manager

        CHO very intruiging at that price also - Bayern didn’t come knocking for nothing

        The availability of those two + Tammy for so cheap will leave budgets being much less of a constraint in general this year - personally I think it really enables 3 for 4 from TAA/Robbo/Digne/Ota etc as the money has to go somewhere

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          6.7m mini Lampard sounds much better. I have just lost my gauge as to what represents good value in those mid priced spots after pukki spoiled us earlier in the season

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I think he’d Need pens & a bit of aerial threat to genuinely be considered a mini-lamps, but he’s certainly of that ilk imo

            Worst case you get him in, enjoy the green run of fixtures + a few price rises & if the returns do start drying up he can always be downgraded to CHO or just swapped to another sub-7.0 - Yarmo, Trossard, McGinn etc

            We’re never going to find a world beater in that bracket anyways but Mounty certainly looking good value imo

      • Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        What about Yarmolenko?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I think it’s his face. I just don’t like him.

      • liiusions
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I’m keeping Dilva for this run of games. It seems easy to predict when he’ll play. Benched him this week for Tomori and it paid off!

      • MosF94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Martial when fit

      • Kenneth Tang
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        The good thing of Mount is his nailedness. I am a fixture guy, I see Mount being the best choice at sub-$8.5 price bracket for the next 5 gw. His stat was bad vs BRI and LIV, but was impressive for the opening 5 gw.

        But I must admit that Maddison after LIV match could outscore him.

        About your plan of selling Dilva. When you owned him, you should know he will be benched this or next match. Suggest you could try to recall why you took him up. If you just wanted a one-week punt at that time, then you should sell now. Otherwise, keep.

      Worth saving a transfer this GW? I want 2 of Tomori/Otamendi & Vardy/Wilson in for GW9, but not sure which combo yet.

      Pope

    4. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Currently got this team for next week, with 1.7itb (think Ceballos to Maddy, if fit)...

      Pope (Button)
      TAA, Oti, Lundstram (Rico) (Soyuncu)
      Salah, KDB, Sterling, Mount, Ceballos
      Pukki, Abraham (Greenwood)

      Any ideas on where best to spend it? I'd be up for Ceballos to Martial once fit, if the guy would drop a bit more...

      1. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        I'd wait on Maddison past Liverpool myself but he could return

    5. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Haller + Otamendi (current)

      What’s better ?

      A.Wilson + Otamendi
      B. Soyuncu + Vardy for a -4 next week ?

    6. Zulle
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison or Mount?

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Mount for me, Maddison can be very frustrating to own

      2. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Like tit for tat points wise. Mount being cheaper edges it

          Thanks for reply.

          Nice one Maximus.

          would like both, but im thinking of doing Salad, ayew too Auba, Mount/maddison?

          So only room for one.

          have 0,5 in bank so mount gives 0,4 in bank, Maddison Zero

    7. Kaiser123
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Possible transfers. Do Digne for Soy this week. Enables me to do Sterling / Greenwood to Vardy/Mahrez for -8 or Sterling/Greenwood to Vardy/BSilva this week for -4. Any thoughts?

      1. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling could go mental this week

        1. Kaiser123
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Thats the worry, but see what happens midweek. If he plays 90mins.

      2. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Involving Sterling in a -8 before Wolves (h)... nope.

        • Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Sterling could have grabbed 2 or 3 goals last weekend.

            Under the same process, choice between Sterling and Salah. Thinking of letting go of Salah.

            Cantwell at 4.5 really makes a power 5 in a 3-5-2 a no-go zone this year 🙁

              • 5 Years

              I might have TAA - Robbo - Pereira - Ota in a 4-5-1 by GW13... Cantwell being part of that 5

              Hard to sell anybody I currently own to achieve that though

                Considered it myself but Jesus played midweek and at the weekend. You just can't predict Pep at all

                  City wont win the league with Jesus as their main striker. Kun is first choice I reckon.

                Makes sense to wait and see. If Mahrez is rested mid week, I will find it hard to resist bringing him in

              The best City attacker to buy is the one who just got rested

              I'd be looking at Bilva or Dilva over Mahrez, except if this is a long term move and you'll be happy with the instant blank

                Solid. I'd play Lundstram this weekend tho

                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Some folks will say the top fpl for two seasons running is not a great pick. I tend to disagree.

                • Reckoner.
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  I got rid of Salah before this GW. Way I saw it was wouldn't be captaining until GW14.

                  Check the captain rotation for Sterling/KDB & Son until GW14, great run so worth doing for me.

                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Do it. There is no better timing of not owning any LIV attackers this season. It's a make or break decision that I will do it myself if I trigger my WC

                    Wouldn't class A as a punt. B is a disaster.

                          Couldn’t believe it lol scrolling down to 6 points from him. Saw the highlights would have been nice if he didn’t pass that open goal chance to the keeper

                  2. Ze_Austin
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Big at the back from GW13:

                    TAA, Robbo (GW13), Pereira (GW9), Ota in a 4. Lund first sub
                    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount and Cantwell
                    Vardy (GW11), Greenwood (GW9), Connolly (GW13)

                    Lund starts in place of Ota or Cantwell now and then. WC would still be intact

                    Problem is the moves involved: Pukki + Soy => Greenwood + Pereira in GW9 (3-5-2); Wilson to Vardy GW11; Abraham + Kelly to Robbo + Connolly in GW13 (4-5-1)

                    Every freaking move is risky X_X

                      Way too early to think about GW13 IMO

                        • 5 Years

                        Would influence the transfers I save or make now. I'd be rolling my GW8 transfer if I'm gonna make those GW9 moves... Then the GW9 moves would have to leave funds for GW11...

                        It's something I'll have to go with if I start the plan. So I'm asking if it's a good plan

                    Kun, Pukki, Tammy.

                    Otamendi out and free up funds for upgrading mids/fwds later?

                      See my post above I'm thinking of losing James for yarmolenko . I'd keep otamendi for sure

                        I see you’re in the same predicament. I’m conscious that MUN have Newcastle next week but that not a bad shout

                        Taking a hit to sell Salah, while keeping Pepe. Not a goer for me. At all.
