Scout Notes

Maddison makes a late case for Double Gameweek 19 as clean sheets elude Leicester

Newcastle United 1-2 Leicester City

  • Goals: Andy Carroll (£5.2m) | James Maddison (£7.1m), Youri Tielemans (£6.4m)
  • Assists: Jamie Vardy (£10.2m), Marc Albrighton (£5.3m)
  • Bonus: Carroll x3, Maddison x2, Tielemans x1

A late Andy Carroll (£5.2m) goal for Newcastle couldn’t deny Leicester a well-deserved win, but it did spoil the Sundays of Fantasy managers the world over.

The striker’s 81st-minute consolation denied FPL’s most-owned defender, James Justin (£5.0m and 25.4%), clean sheet points and potential maximum bonus.

In fact, Justin’s owners effectively lost eight points in 30 harrowing seconds as their man was also booked just before Carroll scored.

Leicester Fiesta

Not that it was all bad news for those with Foxes in their squads, with the 27.8%-owned Jamie Vardy (£10.2m) producing a third assist in as many starts when he set up James Maddison‘s (£7.1m) opener.

That makes it eight assists for the striker this season – his best-ever return was 12 in the 2014/15 campaign – which has helped to paper over some recent cracks as he’s scored just the one goal in five Gameweeks now.

Maddison, meanwhile, made it a second straight attacking return, and five from his last six starts.

His season has been compromised by injury and inconsistency, with an ongoing knee issue having to be managed game by game, as Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed:

James, I think you probably saw in the Manchester United game, he wasn’t quite 100 per cent but he was pushing himself through. Again, because of the timeline of the games, he couldn’t be involved (in Gameweek 16). He still had the soreness after the game.

Unless he features in the FA Cup, the England international will have a decent rest as Leicester don’t have a Gameweek 18 fixture, which should boost his chances of featuring heavily in the team’s Double Gameweek 19.

But as Youri Tielemans‘ (£6.4m) winning strike demonstrated, the goals have been shared out among the side’s midfielders this season. 

That’s made it hard for Fantasy managers to rely on a specific player for consistent returns, although Maddison is starting to build up a strong case – and momentum.

Back Line Blues

Carroll’s strike meant a third straight match without a clean sheet for a team just one point off top spot, but decidedly mid-table when it comes to goals conceded (21).

The Foxes’ total of two clean sheets in the last nine Gameweeks has also been trumped by 12 other clubs.

Justin’s relatively cheap price has kept his sizeable fan base onside thus far, but two of his three attacking returns came in the first two matches of the season and the last one was back in Gameweek 12.

Leicester’s immediate fixtures – Southampton, Chelsea and Leeds (all at home) and Everton away – aren’t exactly the stuff of nailed-on clean sheets, although the eight-game run that follows offers better defensive prospects.

And the return from injury of Caglar Soyuncu (£5.3m), who played 11 minutes at St James’ Park, could also add to the side’s stability at the back.

Chips Anyone?

Stability and Newcastle rarely hit it off, even if a Gameweek 16 nil-niller with Liverpool showed a certain defensive resilience and confirmed the continued excellence of keeper Karl Darlow (£5.0m).

The Magpies do have a Gameweek 18 fixture, however, and it’s against Sheffield United.

That could attract interest from those managers employing their Free Hit chip, with Darlow or a defender a decent option for the trip to the league’s least potent attack.

The more adventurous might also consider Callum Wilson (£6.5m) as an option – the Blades, after all, are yet to keep a clean sheet this season.

Admittedly, the forward has scored just the once in his last five starts and had neither a shot, nor created a single chance, against Leicester.

But Steve Bruce has approached matches against the Premier League also-rans differently of late and we are likely to see a more attacking set-up at Bramall Lane, with a move away from a conservative back five a strong possibility based on the Newcastle head coach’s previous tactical tweaks in the more ‘winnable’ games.


Newcastle United XI (5-3-2): Darlow; Yedlin (Carroll 79), Fernandez, Schar, Clark, Ritchie; S Longstaff, M Longstaff, Almiron (Murphy 64); Joelinton (Shelvey 65), Wilson.

Leicester City XI (4-3-2-1): Schmeichel; Justin, Fofana, Evans, Castagne; Ndidi, Tielemans, Albrighton; Maddison (Soyuncu 79), Barnes; Vardy.

  4. La Roja

    How’s she looking on FH?

    Leno
    AWB Tierney Stones
    Sterlo KDB Bruno Saka Son
    Wilson Kane

    4.0 kilman Brewster Mitchell

    1. Jamb0
      • 6 Years

      GTG

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      looks good to me

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Double ars defence is a bit much. Palace usually do score away from home

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        May go for Darlow tbh

      2. Ron_Swanson
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They’ve failed to score in three of their last five away games

    4. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I reckon villa will beat spurs so I’d go with grealish

    5. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very nice. I’ve got similar but Holding instead of Tierney, Smith Rowe for Saka and Cancelo for Stones in my latest draft.

      It’s worth me doing FH for something like that rather than using 2FTs for this, isn’t it?

      Martinez
      Holding Cancelo
      KDB Bruno Son
      Wilson Watkins

    6. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lovely

    7. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would go Leno>Darlow, rest is very nice . I like double City attack.

  5. MGMT
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling or Auba as a punt for GW18?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Auba has been playing like a bar steward lately

      Sterlo

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Auba and Captian

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      S

  6. Davros
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Robert Peston is normally pretty good at getting the low down on lock downs. This is what he says will be announced...

    PM will be directly addressing the nation. It won’t be a press conference. Tier 4 restrictions will be imposed everywhere. Schools closed. No more team games in parks. But outdoor exercise will still be allowed.

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Villa and Palace games all cancelled then

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ellite sports will continue.

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Team games in parks is a lot different to professional games in stadium and with proper testing peotocols

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If its West Brom v Sheffield United the standard isn't much different.

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What about libraries? Need to know if City home games will go ahead...

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        After Mendy’s party I imagine the whole team will be sick, so no study sessions to be resumed

    5. Davros
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m hopeful that professional sport will carry on but no fans in stadiums (my opinion only)

    6. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      so no different except schools close

  7. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I wonder if sport will continue in tier 5

    Glad I didn’t hit FH early

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      is in Scotland for now

    3. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      My guess would be yes but anything can happen...

  8. C'mon the Fylde
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I've completed my team, without the need for a FH.
    Am I GTG?

    Martinez
    Dias Taylor
    KDB(C) Son Bruno Gundogan Zaha
    Watkins Kane

    1. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good, is there a defender worth a hit who has a double in GW19?
      Can you check out my team below?

    2. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You need a 3rd defender?

      1. Jamb0
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry thought it was a FH draft.. GTG in that case

  9. MARVELLUS
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like this is me for GW 18:

    No GK
    Taylor (fingers crossed) Dias Holding
    Smith Rowe KDB Grealish Bruno
    Kane Watkins

    (McCarthy, Ryan, Dallas, Balbuena, Salah, Bamford)

    Don't think there is a keeper worth a hit, as hopefully McCarthy is back for GW19?

    1. Smokey_Lowkey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good to me. Certainly nothing worth a hit, for sure!

  10. Smokey_Lowkey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Salah -> KDB for the next few GWs madness? No FH planned...

    1. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A bit. Surely another way to get KDB in, Salah is the last person i would sacrifice. Got a Spurs player?

      1. Smokey_Lowkey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nope, no Spurs (yes I know...).

        Current MF is Salah, Bruno, Zaha, Neto, Bissouma.

        Only other candidate is Zaha and for that to happen I may need to downgrade Vardy... Bamford perhaps?

        1. MARVELLUS
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I would rather lose Vardy and keep Salah. Bamford has been great. Care to comment for me above?

    2. Snooze ya lose

      Mad

  11. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Quick Poll - If Blank GW 18 is cancelled, should early Free Hit Chip users get it back or is it hard luck for not waiting?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well obviously FH’s would be cancelled too if there is no gw

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        The GW would be there. It would be completely blank like the last 8 GWs last season.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yes but I can’t see FH being used in that case. People clearly activated FH chip for a reason

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They should lose it (as it benefits me)

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They should lose all their remaining chips as punishment for being rash

    4. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Get it back. And i am sure they would. But hoping football carries on!

    5. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Of course they should lose it

      They’ve chosen to take the risk playing it early to catch price rises

    6. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hard Luck for not waiting.

      If you TC and VC from the same team who's game gets cancelled you don't get those back right? No reason to get FH back as well.

      Don't think it will come to this though. But if it does, then hard luck. Everyone knew the risk. It's not as if all of this started today.

    7. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lose it - the risk of games being cancelled were already there when they decided to FH anyway

    8. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hard luck for them!

    9. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lose it,I lost my chip last year,so it's 100pct

    10. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Get it back of course. That makes more sense is football is cancelled

    11. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You'll get a extra wildcard on resumption, like the rest of us.

  12. only2
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Smith Rowe nailed to play next now? Considering Burke -> ESR

    1. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am going to gamble on him

      1. only2
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        me2 I think

    2. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Surely not nailed, but he's playing well so a decent shout at his price

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I disagree. It’s his spot to lose and he has been superb.

      2. only2
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        thanks for the input!

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      arsenal have finally found form and he's been at the centre of it, surely nailed for now

      1. only2
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        thanks! hope so!

    4. PascalCygan

    How’s she looking for gw18? keeping my free hit and eyeing a Salah to KDB ft before deadline, gives me

    Mendy (no game)
    Dias Holding Saiss
    Bruno Son Zaha KDB Podence
    Kane DCL

    Brewster first sub, .6 itb , not sure about a -4 for goalie yet and may fh 19 to fit in pool, West Ham and Leeds for the doubles

    Quietly pleased with my FH squad so let me down gently lol

    Ramsdale
    Tierney Dias Cancelo
    Son De Bruyne Fernandes Saka
    Wilson Lacazette Kane

    Button Targett Mctominay Mitchell

    Any improvements?

    1. La Roja

      Stop reading at Ramsdale

      1. Sparky6670
        • 12 Years

        Went cheap and was thinking save points but am thinking the de gea shout makes sense

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Doesn't make sense to have Ramsdale and Wilson. Steal some money from your bench to fund DDG.

      1. Sparky6670
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Decent shout that. Thanks.

  15. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I've wildcarded this week, already pushed the button, and not concerned in the slightest. Always a chance a fixture gets called off but no chance the league is postponed.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You sounded pretty concerned to be fair 😛

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years

        Haha, I'm cool :8

    2. manu4life99
      • 14 Years

      20 wks is a long time to go without a WC...

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        20 weeks where we will all get to make 1FT a week with no games on too

        1. TomSaints
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Plus a new wc for the restart...

          1. Rains of Castamere
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Amen brother.

      2. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'd rather attack the back-to-back blank/double now and worry about that later with FH for 29 and, likely, a lot of the double gameweekers in 26 already in my squad (Utd, City, Liverpool)

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think you'll be fine, same plan myself but haven't gone ahead yet

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good luck mate

    4. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Love the attitude. Have fun at the red wedding.

    5. Who are all Lukakus

      Would you mind to share your WC team?

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Unrefined at the moment but probably something like:

        De Gea - Areola (thinking Fulham have tightened up and they have another DGW to come)
        Chilwell Dallas Stones Cancelo Coufal
        Son Bruno KDB El Ghazi Soucek
        Martial Watkins Bamford

        With Son to Salah in DGW19 for the BB.

        9 players for 18
        30 players for 19

        Not sure on Martial at the moment, still a bit of tinkering to do. Chilwell might become Robertson too.

    How bad do you think this 9/10 man team will score vs the avg gw18 FH team?

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Maguire Taylor*
    KDB(C) Bruno(vc) Son Grealish
    DCL

    1. McSauce

      TBH If I had your team I would save my FH, you have all the big guns.

      triple City
      good striker option
      Son
      Bruno
      GK

      P.s It will be 9 Taylor likely will not play. Have you made a transfer?

    2. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It really comes down to:
      A) Arsenal (in FH teams)
      B) Aston Villa (in non-FH teams)

    3. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Looks OK, very similar to mine:

      Cancelo Dias Maguire Target
      KDB(C) Bruno(vc) Son Grealish
      DCL Watkins

      (But i'll need a -4 to get there.)

    Darlow

    Ok as much as it pains me, i need 22 points from Robertson and Salah tonight. Somehow my cup opposition is on 99...

    The only solution is Salah 2 goals and Robertson 1 assist in first half. Limp through to 60 mins for clean sheet. Immediately sub Robertson for a well earned rest.

    Ings score 4 and we win 4-3. Happy all round.

  21. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Alright let's see how I can put this high team value to work...

    FH18:

    Darlow
    Shaw Tierney Stones Mitchell Douglas
    KdB Sterling Fernandes Rashford Saka
    Kane Wilson Brewster

    How we thinking? The whole goal is to put as many expensive players in as possible from the top teams and leverage the likes of Sterling and Rashford over the field.

    Picked Rashford over Son for potential. Everyone is gonna have Son, but Villa away really isn't a great fixture and on FH, I think I prefer Rash vs Burnley. Wilson is the seeming weak link, but I kinda like him vs SHU over someone more expensive like Laca or Martial. Could also get DCL or Rich in for that slot by downgrading Tierney > Holding. But not convinced that Rich is actually better than Wilson in truth...

      You'll need to keep an eye on Darlow. He's in good form but if Dubvraka get a run out in the FA Cup you'll have a dilemma.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mitchell Douglas Brewster far too weak of a bench with the possible COVID postponements.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe. I'm not gonna play scared though. If any of the games get cancelled I'd be screwed anyway. That's the bigger fear rather than one-off COVID absentees.

    3. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's a great team.

      Stats wise Darlow seems a sensible choice, but if there's one team who will inexplicably concede to Sheffield United then its Newcastle. I'd be more confident with Leno or De Gea.

      By the same logic as Son, depending on how risky you're feeling. Why not Aguero over Kane? Waiting for team news obviously, but Burnley is the type of game city win 5-0 and Aguero scores 4.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Because I chose my City and United players first and then worked around it.

    4. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I like it. Big hitters covered - but with a point of difference. And worth keeping Wilson to target Sheff U.

    5. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years

      I like the Rashford over Son idea

    6. La Roja

      I like it. Similar to mine too

    the person I'm playing in the cup is in about 50 different mini leagues and has a great rank

    wonder how feels being knocked out by 2 million rank Steve the spud

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt he cares. I'm under 40,000 rank and I couldn't give a T*** if I get knocked out. I'm sure he feels the same. It's not about the cup its about having a high rank and winning you're mini leagues.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years

    1. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Aren't there rumors he is injured? Concussion.

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Hasenhuttl did not mention Adams when asked about injured players but did not explicitly state whether he was available

    2. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years

      He ain't gonna play

    bringing Firmino in was a mistake but a goal from him tonight would make it somewhat justifiable

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He will score

  28. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    C)ancelo or D)ias?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years

      Stones

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Although Dias is more nailed I am planning to get Cancelo. More fun.

    3. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo is the better FPL option, but you need a strong 1st sub if you go there.

      I have Dias, because I'm a chicken and scared of Pep.

    What’s your gut feeling % chance this will occur:
    I’m 5p behind my cup opponent (would’ve been 1p if City CS yesterday, that was painful to watch.)
    I have Mane, he Salah.
    1 Mane goal more (with equal nr assists) would be enough if he get bonus points.
    I’m thinking 20%. That’s 1 time out of 5 tries if they hypothetically played the match 5 times with the exact same conditions.
    Hoping Mane will be hungry as he plays against his former club. Scared of Salah as penalty taker though but maybe he miss one and it’s enough with an assist for Mane.
