Scoutcast Episode 375 – FPL managers face tough decisions ahead of BGW33

Joe and Seb are joined by Conor, aka FPLPrince from the FPL Fan Show, to look at the key issues facing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers ahead of Gameweek 33.

It has been a big week for Tottenham Hotspur, including the sacking of boss Jose Mourinho and the appointment of Ryan Mason as interim first-team coach.

Meanwhile, their top scorer Harry Kane (£11.8m) is injured, ahead of the north London side’s League Cup final with Manchester City. This Wembley encounter also means both finalists blank in FPL this weekend, along with their scheduled league opponents Southampton and Fulham.

For FPL managers, this presents a raft of challenges ahead of Gameweek 33. Do they keep hold of Kane, even though his return date from injury is unknown? Is Son Heung-min (£9.5m) surplus to requirements or will he flourish under Mason’s temporary charge? And could Gareth Bale (£9.2m) and even Dele Alli (£7.4m) become FPL assets once again?

Joe, Seb and Conor try to make sense of how Spurs fit in with their plans, especially given the club’s favourable fixtures from Gameweek 34.

To compound matters, there are further Blank Gameweeks and Doubles on the horizon. The Scoutcast trio explain their tentative plans for combating these further complications.

Meanwhile, attacking defenders are on the agenda. Their potential to offer returns at both ends of the pitch could provide the boost FPL managers need to steal a march on their mini-league rivals.

In addition, the Scoutcast crew look back on their Gameweek 32 highs and lows and also reveal their upcoming transfer and captaincy plans. The next four fixtures are frisked and Conor takes his turn to pick a differential.

    worth a -4 to get TAA in? all ML rivals ahead of me seem to have him.

    Only way I can afford him is by downgrading Son/Bruno to Jota/Greenwood/Traore, and then upgrading Veltman/Dallas/Amartey

      Unless Raph is declared fit, you could end up with 9 (before any random benchings). So I’d say it’s worth the hit. I’m looking at switching him for Digne using my FT

        Keep an eye on the pressers for Masuaku injury update.

        For Mendy, I expect him to start. Kepa isn't the #1 GK. TT has done this before where he played Kepa in the league game after the cup. Look at FAC 5th round vs Barnsley. I'm sure he would have done the same for the QF vs SHU but it was the IB after the cup

      Team is similar to mine except Shaw and Masuaku. I wouldn't do a sideways move to lose Bruno. Son is an option to lose. You could then do Bruno to Son in 34 if you fancy Spurs against SHU

      I would go with Shaw by being the most attacking one among the three, potential title challenger (although slim chance) as well as less rotation risk for him per recent record.

      West Ham is a bit leaky recently though plus missing Cresswell which makes me hesitate. Fofana is more in the middle position wise so could be less attacking. Also LEI's fixture looks good in paper but the bottom third are more dangerous this period of the season fighting for life.

        Cheers. I agree with WHU not looking likely to keep a CS anytime soon but I do like how attacking Coufal has been in the WB position. 3 assists in the last 3 games and their fixtures are good on paper

        LEI next 3 fixtures look good but I'm still unsure about LEI defence and Fofana has no attacking potential.

        Shaw has created the most chances over the season for a def. Fixtures are not great but he is heavily involved in the attack.

    Anyone know of the correspondence of TAA assist and Mane goals?

    Think I read somewhere that nearly all of the TAA assists this season were to Mane and simply looking at goals for Mane they all appear to coincide with TAA assists.

    Does this stand up historically too? TAA assists Mane and not Mo?

        Theoretically it adds up that way.

        I was wondering if there was any actual evidence of this happening and whether by extension the decline in Mane was in some way attributable to a decline in TAA output.

        It's not 100% clear cut though as it presupposes TAA assists are predominantly of one type and that Mane and Mo play fixed roles in attack - something that has not always been the case as Mo has varied from being wider to more central.

          From my experience, possesion based style Liverpool have employed in past three seasons, especially last two, suits Mane the most. There are lots of crosses from both TAA out wide and from Henderson from halfspace that target Mane mostly, as Firmino is between the lines, and Salah is in the right channel, so Mane gets more centrally to attack crosses.

            Ty

            That adds up to me as looking at stats Mane seems to be the one with more headed chances and that is the sort of chance you'd expect most from assists that were simply crosses.

              No Henderson, no those halfspace crosses, no VVD, TAA on backfoot, no crosses, lack of goals for Liverpool. When oppo sits deep they have no passage and go out wide Robbo more running in the box and TAA whipping it from the right. When they don't don't go high enough, Liverpool creativity diminishes.

                You'll be better informed than me but that ties in with my reading.

                No Mo right now and may still end up continuing that way until 35 or so - I'm not convinced goal deluges are as likely as most apparently believe and without that the temptation diminishes.

                  Just watched too many boring Liverpool games 🙂 It was much more exciting when Liverpool played on the counter. Ideally, you'll want both Henderson and TAA for Mane to go big, but this resurection from TAA is good enough probably.

      a) Son's fixture is good after GW 33 while Bruno has not been bagging points for a couple of weeks. Man U still gets Euro too.

      b) Also good but not urgent. West Ham is missing Antonio and Cresswell, and Fulham still figuring out their attack in my opinion.

      Might need to look at goalkeeper with the 2nd FT

      B for me. Shaw will bag an assist or two, while Alonso not justifying the premium and I don't see many more cs for Chelsea.
      Not sure on C, thinking Gundo will get a few more matches until league is wrapped up at least, especially with KDB being out

      Blanks and his mate (Kane) likely not about to help with the points haul. Also, many teams will have been built for the DGW so now offloading to take advantage of players with better fixtures/form.

        Also no one is likely to have any money much tied up in Son he is an obvious fall guy for a one week play and very easy to get back.

        Looking at 34 fixtures are either Salah or Bruno particularly desirable?

    If DGW35/BGW36 holds up according to Creillin, do these targets hypothetically make sense for GW35, seeing as they don't blank in GW36:

    Digne for Rudiger, Jrod/Siggi for Son, Watkins for Vydra

    Best replacement for Son? Upto 12m. 1FT, 2.5 ITB.

    If I bring in Salah, need to take a -4 to remove Kabak for a cheaper option.
    Other option is Kabak -> TAA. And play Burke.

          Looking good, think I'd look at something similar. Maybe Greenwood over Pereira and then either Watkins or Bamford over Cavani. I'd also consider Martinez over Sanchez, as most non-FH'ers will play him

            Yep like those options too.

            Surly with a FH you want to be moving away from non-FH teams (regarding Martinez). Plus WBA have been scoring goals of late, Id rather take a punt this week.

    Need to deicde on whether use FH in GW33 o DGW35. But DGW35 doesn't look too attractive if it pans out as expected. Current team before transfer is

    Martinez
    Konsa Rudiger AWB Dallas
    Salah Lingard Fernandes Raphina
    Nacho Bamford
    (Areola* Kane* Son* Stones*)
    1 FT, £1m itb

    Of the key players I think I'm only missing out on TAA and Jota. So could bring in TAA for a hit, or play FH to try to bring in a few more differentials. Anyway , I want t keep Kane and Son for GW3 against Sheffield. So options for GW33 are :

    A) Stones + AWB -> TAA + Phillips/Holding -4 pts. FH SAVED FOR DGW35
    B) Play FH in GW33, in addition to TAA get in Jota, Maddison, Vardy, Dunk, Trossard/Welbeck

    Here is the differential move that no one is considering - naturally for a good reason 🙂

    I've just looked at big chances for Mo and Mane is the last 4 matches - which more or less corresponds with the uptick in TAA output and the thought is a better TAA might improve Mane more than Mo.

    In this time with improved TAA Mane has had 5 big chances to Mo's 4. He's still missing most of them of course with just the one goal 😉

        The real issue with all Liverpool attack right now is it's very unpredictability. In the last 5 I think I'm right in saying the rotation has gone something like this if you include CL

        Jota
        Firmino
        Mane
        Jota
        Mo

        Starting all 4 doesn't appear to be an option
