Why £4.0m FPL goalkeeper Foster started for Watford in Gameweek 5

NORWICH CITY 1-3 WATFORD

  • Goals: Teemu Pukki (£5.9m) | Emmanuel Dennis (£5.2m), Ismaila Sarr (£6.1m) x2
  • Assists: Mathias Normann (£4.5m) | Kiko Femenia (£4.4m), Josh King (£5.5m) x2
  • Bonus: Sarr x3, King x2, Billy Gilmour (£4.5m) x1

EVERTON TO FACE LEAGUE’S WORST DEFENCE

Is £4.0m FPL goalkeeper Foster the new Watford number one?

Norwich City: making average Premier League attacks look very good indeed since 2019.

Watford – goalless in their last three matches – hadn’t created a single ‘big chance’ from Gameweeks 2-4 but they were allowed six such opportunities at Carrow Road.

Norwich have now conceded more goals (14) than anyone else this season and while heavy losses to Liverpool and Manchester City can be excused, a 3-1 home defeat to another newly-promoted side who were struggling for goals was more of an indictment on the state of their defence.

“One thing we have to do is that we need to defend our own goal better. If we concede three goals per game, as an average, we can’t win anything on this level.

“You can argue we were also a bit unlucky and about the quality of the opponents, but the fact is we have conceded too many goals. We have to improve on this, and this is our main topic.

“We need to be harder to play against. We need more steel, and we need to be nastier.” – Daniel Farke

The good news for owners of Demarai Gray (£5.7m) and co is that they face Norwich next.

Andros Townsend (£5.5m) will also be interested, given that two of Watford’s strikes came from deliveries from the right – not the first time that the Canaries have allowed a conceded goal to be created from their left flank (see below) this season.

£4.0m FOSTER STARTS

Is £4.0m FPL goalkeeper Foster the new Watford number one? 3

There was a surprise selection between the posts for the visitors as Ben Foster (£4.0m) was given the nod ahead of Daniel Bachmann (£4.5m).

Pre-match rumours of an injury to Bachmann proved to be wide of the mark as he was listed among the substitutes, with Xisco Munoz saying after full-time:

“No, no, no [injury]. Everybody knows I have very three good goalkeepers, Foster, Danny and Rob [Elliott].

“I tried to give experience, this mature situation. And they played very well.

“We have 23, 24 players at a very good level who we can use.” – Xisco Munoz

Hesitancy from Foster played a part in Teemu Pukki’s (£5.9m) equaliser but he contributed to a display that Munoz praised as “mature”, and his distribution was positive. It remains to be seen, however, if this change was a one-off or otherwise.

SARR AND FEMENIA

Is £4.0m FPL goalkeeper Foster the new Watford number one? 1

Both of Ismaila Sarr’s (£6.1m) strikes ironically came after Kiko Femenia (£4.4m) had been substituted but the Senegalese winger looks even more threatening when Femenia is in the side, with the pair having combined to great effect in the Championship in 2020/21.

Sarr had started the season with first natural centre-half Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) and then the offensively limited Jeremy Ngakia (£4.4m) playing directly behind him but Watford look more potent down their right flank with Femenia in the team, and it was the defender who supplied the cross that budget FPL forward Emmanuel Dennis (£5.2m) nodded in to give Watford a lead.

Femenia’s overlaps also give Sarr the chance to move inside into more goalscoring positions, with less onus on him to offer width.

The jury’s still out on whether Sarr, Dennis et al can cut it against half-competent backlines – but luckily for owners of Watford’s attacking assets, and anyone looking for a short-term punt before perhaps a Gameweek 8 Wildcard, another two of the division’s most awful defences are up next for the Hornets.

BUDGET MIDFIELDER WATCH

Why £4.0m FPL goalkeeper Foster started for Watford 2

One final word on two of the more popular £4.5m midfielders in FPL, who were both in action in East Anglia.

Moussa Sissoko (£4.5m) had enjoyed a bit of attacking freedom in his first two outings for Watford but was redeployed as defensive shield here, registering only four final-third touches.

Billy Gilmour (£4.5m), meanwhile, remarkably picked up a bonus point despite not collecting an attacking return.

A combination of off-the-ball work and possession-based stats helped him to 27 baseline bonus points (see below), and saw him finish above even goalscorers Pukki and Dennis in the BPS rankings.


Norwich City XI: Krul, Aarons, Kabak, Hanley, Williams, Gilmour, Normann (Cantwell 70), McLean, Sargent (Tzolis 70), Pukki, Rashica (Idah 88).

Watford XI: Foster; Femenía (Ngakia 59), Troost-Ekong, Cathcart, Rose, Kucka, Sissoko, Sarr, Cleverley (Etebo 81), Dennis (Sema 73), King.


BURNLEY 0-1 ARSENAL

  • Goal: Martin Odegaard (£5.5m)
  • Assist: Bukayo Saka (£6.3m)
  • Bonus: Odegaard x3, Aaron Ramsdale (£4.5m) x2, Ben White (£4.4m) x1, Gabriel (£5.0m) x1

TWO CLEAN SHEETS, NO BIG CHANCES CONCEDED

Why £4.0m FPL goalkeeper Foster started for Watford 5

Boring, boring Arsenal? It’s now two successive clean sheets for the Gunners after their August horribilis and they are the only side not to concede what Opta deem to be a ‘big chance’ over the last two Gameweeks.

Having easier opponents – ie Norwich and Burnley – massively helps but so too does getting key personnel back to fitness or through the door, with Ben White (£4.4m), Gabriel Maghaeles (£5.0m), Takehiro Tomiyasu (£4.5m), Aaron Ramsdale (£4.5m) and Thomas Partey (£5.0m) all now available for selection after Mikel Arteta’s selection struggles at the back last month.

“[Gabriel and Tomiyasu], I think they were really terrific. I think the back four in general was really solid. We didn’t concede much, even though they put us under pressure. I thought they were really good.

“[Partey] is really important because he is the anchor and he is the one that needs to read what is happening and make the rest better. That’s his biggest job, to get the right balance in the team and get the right fluidity in the team so we can attack. How he managed the transitions was top, he has the pressing and the charisma.

“He missed a long time but now he’s back again and he needs some more fitness back.” – Mikel Arteta

SMITH-ROWE/ODEGAARD DEEPER

Why £4.0m FPL goalkeeper Foster started for Watford 4

While Arsenal’s budget defenders would seem to offer value in FPL given the forthcoming fixtures, question marks still exist over the Gunners’ attack.

Their total of 30 shots (but only one goal) against Norwich in Gameweek 4 is put into context with our report on the Canaries above, and they created very little at Turf Moor.

Arteta moved to a 4-3-3 for this fixture, with Emile Smith Rowe (£5.3m) and Martin Odegaard (£5.5m) flanking defensive shield Partey.

Odegaard found the net from a direct free-kick against the Clarets but didn’t set foot in the Burnley box, while Smith Rowe will have to work harder for his attacking returns from a number eight position than he did in ‘the hole’ or playing as a narrow left-winger.

Smith Rowe also limped out of this game with a knock, although there has been no word on the severity of his injury.

“Well, they have to come deeper depending on which phase of our play we are in and in relation to what the opponent are doing.

“In the final third, they obviously have to play in the pockets, they have to play higher and their job is to attack certain spaces and go for the goal and have contributions for us to score goals. We had parts where they did really well but the final pass or the final decision wasn’t that great. If it was, the score probably would’ve been different.” – Mikel Arteta on deeper roles for Emile Smith Rowe/Martin Odegaard

CORNET’S IMPRESSIVE DEBUT

Why £4.0m FPL goalkeeper Foster started for Watford 3

Burnley assets are probably a long way from many people’s thoughts at present, particularly with their defence not the solid unit it once was – it’s now just five clean sheets in the last 28 Premier League games for the Clarets.

But Maxwell Cornet (£6.0m) is definitely one for the medium-term watchlist in the mid-price midfielder pool, which looks like a price rung that FPL managers will be increasingly drawing from this season in order to cram in as many premium assets as they can elsewhere.

Deployed on the left flank, with Dwight McNeil (£5.9m) changing wings, Cornet was handed half an hour on his Burnley debut and looked electric, forcing Ramsdale into a flying save with the Clarets’ best chance of the game.

“I think the timings weren’t right against Everton – but I felt it was today.

“He did very well with the ball, he’s got to learn outside of that when we haven’t got the ball – just them little nuances of the Premier League and how quickly teams can transition but we brought him in because he’s a good player.” – Sean Dyche on Maxwell Cornet

    G2G with the right bench order? 0.5 ITB. Cannot decide who to captain though:

    Sanchez
    TAA Rudiger Marcal Livra
    Salah Raph Gallagher
    Ronaldo Lukaku Antonio

    Steele Gilmour White Mendy

    Thanks.

        Yes. Looks the safest option. Most will captain him. Antonio vs Villa can be good too. A lot of people have sold him and a very few will captain him.

          Antonio vs Villa??

      Only 3 options there...Antonio, Ronaldo or Salah.
      We know that Ronaldo will score...question is, whether other two will score more?
      Still, I'm going with CR7.

      1. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        We don't know he will score. Chances are good he will (bookies have priced him at 62% chance to goal), but he is no certainty.

          His words is not 100% scientific correct, but we all understand what he means.

          If he is not certainty, then no one is in gw6.

          1. Harry the Hack
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            AVL are no slouches up back with their full defence back

    3. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Play white over Marcal?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        So, what's all this about?

        I suppose CR7 is the obvious pick. I don't have him, so I do have to make a decision.
        Antonio has the fixture, Salah has the (even better) form. Brentford are tight, but haven't met an attacking team like 'Pool yet.

        1. Salan
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It's just between Salah and Ronaldo.

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Have you made your transfers already?

  2. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you prefer:

    A) Ings vs Man Utd plus Luka vs SOU, bre
    B) Ronaldo vs AVL, EVE, lei (-8pts)

    Will have these two options if Raphinha is ruled out.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Will be close. Will go with B though just because how United are now set up to feed only one player.

    2. Jarnathan
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely A. I may be a Villa fan, but I think Villa can take Man U

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      the minus 8 definitely 😉

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        😀

        It will cancel your Ronaldo 😉

      I’m hoping he just didn’t play this week because his house had just been broken into and had his medals along with other things stolen. Maybe wasn’t in the right mindset. Fingers crossed he starts next match

      1. SpaceCadet

        Hope you're right. If he starts midweek might just sell.

          ? Can't get this logic.

          So if I see Salah starts tonight, then need to sell him?

    Hi guys..

    Do u think I bench the right player?

    Ramsdale
    Trent Alonso Livra
    Mohammad, Ben, Sarr, Gallagher
    Ron, Antonio, Max

    Bench :

    Foster cheapie GK
    Rudiger at HOme vs City
    Dias away to Stamford Bridge
    Norman. No need to explain

    Thanks...

  12. ZeBestee

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Having already used my free transfer, this is the team;

    Sanchez
    TAA James Semedo (Livra Williams)
    Salah Jota Gray Raphinha (Sissoko)
    Bam Lukaku Antonio

    Worth taking a hit to bring in Cr7 for Lukaku for 1 week and swap back next week? Or keep same and captain one of Salah/Antonio/TAA

  13. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Have exact money for Bamford/Antonio/Shaw to Dennis/Lukaku/Rudiger but all 3 are on 90+ in stats.. What would you do? Bamford to Dennis and hope Chelsea don’t increase due to playing Mcy?

    1. Gazza2000

      I would save mate

    Credit where it's due.
    The standard of articles on here is back where it should be ... well done guys.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, some of the analysis in recent scout note articles have been top notch.

  15. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would appreciate some input on this good fellas. Can't decide who to play and also the bench order.

    A. Eduard vs BHA (H)
    B. Marcal vs SOU (A)
    C. Duffy VS CRY (A)
    D. Livra VS WOL (H)

    currently playing Eduard and Livra.

    Bench Marcal Duffy Gilmour
    I am hoping that Eduard will score in the 25 minutes that he will play? Or play Marcal/Duffy over him? I think palace will score at home, so not so keen on playing Duffy. Between Marcal and Livra, I am playing Livra as he plays at home. Any thought?

    So Greenwood to Sarr for the Newcastle/Leeds fixtures?

    Clearly a short term punt but greenwood has been so wide in the last two fixtures!

    1. Salan
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ship out Greenwood before vs Villa game?

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah because he doesn’t appear to be in the mix!

  17. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Assuming everyone is fit what would you do with this lot?
    Got 1FT and 0.8 ITB

    First thought was Torres to Sarr but leaning more to either saving or Webster to Livramento...

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Ayling
    Salah Torres Raphinha Benrahma
    Bamford Antonio Ronaldo

    Steele Sissoko Webster Tsimikas

  19. drughi

    Any chance Lukaku outscores Ronaldo this week ?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      All we have is probability and it sides with Ronaldo

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sure does, hoping on a miracle

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Doubt it

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years

  20. Heiro

    Hi all,

    Trying to clear up funds to get Lukaku in for next week and have two free this week.

    Trent/Shaw/Livramento/Ayling/Coufal
    Bruno/Jota/Greenwood/Salah/Gray
    Antonio/Jiminez.

    Was looking at
    Shaw,Greenwood,Jota,Jiminez

    to Rudiger,Sarr,Bissouma,Lukaku.

    Which is the best transfer this week?

    Thanks

    From GW7 who would you rather have:

    A) Rudiger - 433 defence double up with Reece James

    B) Gallagher - 343 but with just one Chelsea defender

    1. Salan
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 5 Years

    7. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks like the Rudigers have it. Can still bring in Gallagher at a later stage for one of Sarr or Benrahma

  22. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    In GW7 what is your view on Jota + Ronaldo --> Son + Lukaku?

    1. Legohair
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nice moves

    2. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      hard to part with cr7

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about losing Ronaldo when he has Everton at home. Arguably a better fixture than Lukaku (SOU)

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure about losing Ronaldo at any point in the season now.

        May have to find a way to WC Lukaku in with Ronny, Salah and TAA.

    4. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No Spurs are rubbish atm.

    5. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why do you fancy Son?

      1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Good fixture in GW7&8, clinical, proved FPL assets, set-piece taker, under the radar because of an injury in GW4 and poor performacne of Spurs after a red card and against Chelsea

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I agree for the most part but their attack just looks dreadful. I owned him pre injury and he got a few good returns but he was very close to blanking in all the games. So he is a real boom or busy asset imo, could work though

    6. Salan
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I definitely don't sell Ronaldo for Lukaku, even considering those fixtures.

  23. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Still cant decide which player to bench next GW???

    A. Gray
    B. Raphinha
    C. Benrahma
    D. Jimenez

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      not sure you can bench a/c

    2. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      D

    3. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

  24. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Benrahma or Sarr??

  25. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I don’t know what’s wrong with me this season. I haven’t used my wild card, I haven’t taken any hits, I’m not obsessed with team value, I’m not posting RMTs or A/B/C questions every five minutes and I’m only doing transfers near the deadline. Am I now an FPL grown up????

  26. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Morning All,

    Traore’ >?

    A- Sarr
    B- Gallagher

    Start:
    1- Livramento
    2- White

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B
      1

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      A
      2

    3. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just hold Traore which must have been your plan. Start 1.

  27. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Time to get Gray or Townsend in for Norwich then.

    Nice swap for Torres and will give me money to upgrade Digne to Chelsea defender next week.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I did Torres to Gray before price rise today.

      Jota to Gallagher next week.

    2. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The problem I have with Everton is that they have lost Rich and DCL, which obviously would have an negative impact on the team overall.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This is right, having seen most of their last game i admit that their midfielders were creative, but without anyone on the end of their potential assists they aren’t as good of an option.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You would still expect them to do Norwich though.

  28. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you
    A)Double up on cancelo Dias In gw8
    B)double up on rudiger alonso gw9
    Leaning towards A since cancelo is more nailed and city has the better defensive stats.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably A if you’re not keen on a mix of both. Could even do Mendy and a Dias if you want near total naildness

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Dias and rudiger are must for me
        It’s basically between Alonso cancelo.

  29. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Right so alongside rudiger Dias taa who would you get?
    A)Cancelo
    B)Alonso
    Alonso won’t be starting forever and cancelo has barely any combination now if any.
    Leaning towards cancelo
    This is gameweek 8 and further plan.

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years

    Have exact money for Bamford/Antonio/Shaw to Dennis/Lukaku/Rudiger but all 3 are on 90+ in stats.. What would you do? Bamford to Dennis and hope Chelsea don’t increase due to playing Mcy??
