Scoutcast Episode 363 – Everton on the radar as Kane joins the injury list

Joe and Seb are joined by Ted to look at the key issues facing Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Gameweek 21.

This latest Scoutcast episode proved a rollercoaster for Joe, Seb and their guest Ted, from TedTalks FPL, taking place during Thursday night’s eventful clash between Tottenham and Liverpool.

With Son Heung-min (£9.8m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) goals ruled out, a haul for Sadio Mane (£11.8m) and an injury, possibly for weeks, to Harry Kane (£11.3m), there was plenty for our trio to mull over.

As the only Mane owner of the three, Joe struggled to contain his excitement in particular.

But where now for the Gameweek 21 captaincy, especially as Kane had been penciled in by many FPL managers to receive the armband ahead of Spurs encounter with Brighton?

Everton’s returning assets could be the answer. Dominic Calvert Lewin (£7.6m), Lucas Digne (£6.0) and James Rodriguez (£7.7m) are among Toffees stars to return from injury ahead of a kind run of games.

Ted’s already tripled up on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops and Joe and Seb are keen to invest too.

A key factor in Ted’s bold move has been his analysis from his statistical graphs over recent matches. Armed with a quintet of graphical delights he takes the Scoutcast team through his latest thoughts on chance creation to clean sheet probability.

His charts also help him to pick a differential, following some recent successes for the show, thanks to West Ham and Manchester City’s low owned gems.

Seb has some intriguing thoughts on attacking defenders, especially with new management and tactics at Chelsea.

Meanwhile, the crew reveal their transfers and fresh captaincy thoughts ahead Gameweek 21 as well as consider the latest high-fliers on the fixture ticker.

          Im not sure why people think Son wont do well without Kane.
          Historically he has always done well playing upfront without Kane and he will be on pens too.
          45 mins against Pool is too small a sample size to judge Son without Kane.

            Agree with this. Last season Son was arguably better when Kane was injured. This season, all we have for reference is 45 mins against one of the better defences in the league. Still on the fence whether to bring Son in myself.

            Totally agree with this. Sure on here in the past it was son is only good without Kane! Then after 45mins against Liverpool it’s son is useless without Kane

            Yep - Crellin has actually done the math on it:

            Son without Kane (19/20) vs Son (20/21):

            Mins - 529 vs 1619
            Goals per 90 - 0.68 vs 0.67
            Assists/90 - 0.17 vs 0.33
            xG/90 - 0.59 vs 0.35
            xA/90 - 0.08 vs 0.12
            Pen area touches/90 - 5.4 vs 3.6
            Attempts/90 - 3.9 vs 2.0
            Shots in box/90 - 3.1 vs 1.4
            Shots on target/90 - 2.0 vs 1.1

            Being on penalties is straight away a massive plus for Son, he'll also be their pretty much undisputed goal threat while HK is on the treatment table

              Yes I saw this nicely put together by him.

              Last season he was getting a goal/assist every 90 mins without Kane for 1619 mins looks very promising.

        I like that. DCL is now a priority to bring in for me due to Kane's injury. Still undecided whether to bring Son in for a hit too. Based on this, I would say A looks very nice

                I’m considering Chilwell > Digne.

                Digne. Chilwell might not start now. Give Chelsea a few weeks. Digne has 2 extra games as well.

                Chilwell is the better option. Better fixtures too.

              Team for this week G2G? Need help with a few decisions though!

              Martinez
              Stones - Dias - Coufal*
              Sterling (C) - Bruno - Barnes - Son - Smith Rowe *
              Antonio - DCL

              Bench: Bamford * - Mitchell - Shaw

              Should I do:
              A) Coufal --> Digne/Chilwell (-4)
              B) Smith Rowe --> Rodriguez/Zaha
              C) Just play Shaw for Coufal & Bamford for Smith Rowe and avoid the hit

                  Hmm hadn't considered him for some reason.
                  Think he'll do well against Southampton compared to JRod vs. Newcastle and Zaha vs Wolves?
