Scout Notes

Scout Scribbles – Gomis Setback for Swansea

Bafetimbi Gomis is ruled out for a month for Swansea. City face an anxious wait over Vincent Kompany’s thigh scans, Bryan Oviedo and Peter Odemwingie step up their recoveries, whilst Enner Valencia could be fit in time for West Ham’s trip to City.

Gomis Blow for Swansea

Earlier this morning, Swansea confirmed that Bafetimbi Gomis is set to be missing for “around four weeks” with the hamstring injury sustained in the weekend home draw against Everton.

The Scout Says: Having scored four times in six prior to Saturday’s encounter, Gomis had welcomed the Toffees in his finest form of the season. The Frenchman lasted just 15 minutes before limping off and with Nelson Oliveira also missing out, Garry Monk was forced to turn to Marvin Emnes up top. The 4.9-priced Emnes provided the assist for Jonjo Shelvey’s late spot-kick leveler and, if Oliveira fails to recover, now looks in the driving seat to partner Wayne Routledge in the Swans’ front two as the short-term schedule smiles kindly. Monk’s men now face Leicester, Newcastle and Stoke before a tough looking final three matches (ars, MCI, cpl) sees the season out.

Oviedo targeting Black Cats visit for return

Roberto Martinez is optimistic that Bryan Oviedo can shake of his hamstring injury in time to make a return for Everton’s home tie against Sunderland in Gameweek 36. The Costa Rican defender returns to training this week and will undergo a two-to-three week fitness program before he’s back in contention:

”I expect him [Oviedo] to be training at the end of this week, so we are probably looking at two or three weeks before he is back – maybe the Sunderland game. It was a bad injury. The tendon got a bad tear. It wasn’t a pull in the belly of the muscle, it was a tear right on the tendon, really high up.”

The Scout Says: With Leighton Baines holding a firm grip on the Toffees left-back berth, Oviedo looks unlikely to forge a way back into Everton’s defence any time soon. Martinez has deployed the South American further up the field on occasion, though – notably, on the left flank in a 4-2-3-1 set-up against West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 22. With four home fixtures (BUR, MUN, SUN, TOT) allied with trips to Villa and West Ham to finish the season, our faith in Everton’ defence is on the up and for those unable or unwilling to fork out on the costly Baines and Seamus Coleman, the 5.2-priced John Stones has started 11 of the last 12 and offers a cheap route into a backline with four shut-outs in the last five in front of their own fans.

Valencia expected to start Sky Blues clash

West Ham United are hopeful that Enner Valencia will be passed fit for their visit to Manchester City on Sunday, after the Ecuadorian sustained a foot injury in last Gameweek’s stalemate with Stoke.

The Scout Says: Diafra Sakho – who also picked up a knock in the Potters clash – has been ruled out of the Sky Blues encounter, so positive news on the fitness of Valencia was imperative for Hammers boss Sam Allardyce. The London club have struggled to make an impact in the final third over the last ten Gameweeks, with only seven goals to their name in that period. Valencia’s recovery from a foot injury last week allowed Big Sam to roll out a front two but, unless he’s prepared to hand Carlton Cole a starting role, the Hammers seem likely to return to a lone striker system once again. Once this week’s trip to City is out of the way, the final five fixtures (qpr, BUR, avl, EVE, new) certainly offer the Hammers hope but with just two wins in their last 15, a lack of form and motivation may persuade many to look elsewhere.

Odemwingie steps up rehabilitation

Peter Odemwingie is set to return to full training today, having been sidelined for six months following the knee ligament damage he sustained in West Brom’s clash with Manchester City last August. In an interview with the club’s official site, Odemwingie revealed that he’s been playing in a few practice games as he steps up his rehabilitation:

”Tomorrow I will start with the group. It has been tough but the medical staff have been brilliant and helped me enormously. Hearing the fans sing my song and looking forward to seeing me playing again is brilliant; that feeling that somebody is waiting for you is fantastic. It’s been just over six months now but these injuries can be nine months, so I’m really happy that I’m back training. I played a few small-sided games last week and yesterday and tomorrow I’ll be back in the fold and hopefully I’ll be ready as soon as possible.”

The Scout Says: In the wake of such a serious injury, the Nigerian international will clearly be nursed back to full health and is unlikely he’ll find himself in the matchday squad before the Potters trip to Swansea City in Gameweek 35. Having tallied seven goals and two assists in 2084 minutes of pitch time last year, Odemwingie had thrived under Mark Hughes last season and, with Victor Moses likely to be sidelined for the remainder of the current campaign, his return hands the Potters a welcome boost. Stoke have four home fixtures in the final six, though with three of the visitors sitting in the top seven (SOU, TOT, LIV), it’s unlikely that many will be looking to the Staffordshire outfit at a time where double Gameweeks are the priority.

City sweating on Kompany scans

Manchester City are fearful that Vincent Kompany could be ruled out for the remainder of the season following the thigh injury he sustained attempting a tackle on Daley Blind during the Manchester derby.

The Scout Says: Initial reports suggest the Belgian defender is set for a four-week spell on the sidelines, which would render him unavailable for the champions next five fixtures (WHU, AVL, tot, QPR, swa) and place question marks over his match fitness for the Gameweek 38 home clash with Southampton. In Kompany’s possible absence, City would be left somewhat short at the back; although Eliaquim Mangala and Martin Demichelis are the natural centre-back pairing in his stead, fourth-choice Dedryck Boyata is suffering from a knee complaint which leaves them light on the bench. City have racked up three successive clean sheets at the Etihad and have four home fixtures (WHM, AVL, QPR, SOU) to extend that streak, with Gael Clichy, at 5.4, looking the most budget-friendly option for those willing to bank on Manuel Pellegrini’s backline.

    3. The_Colonel

      Thinking about it but leaning towards Puncheon/Bolasie more

    4. Heydudes13

      Lol nah.

  2. Kuqi Monster
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I need to decide whether to:

    A - keep pants and save my FT, play with 10 this GW, bringing in 3 liverpool for GW34 requires -4 hit; or
    B - do alnwick -> schmeicel, play with 11 this GW, bringing in 3 liverpool for GW34 requires -8 hit.

    What you reckon?

    Essentially comes down to
    A - pants - blank / sto
    B - schmeicel - SWA / bur,CHE (-4)

    Would be bringing in schmeicel to partner pants so after GW34 can rotate as see fit and still have pants for GW37.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A = 0 + 2 = 2

      B = 2 + 2 + 2* -4 = 2

      *Expect a few saves

      This doesn't help much does it?

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        If anyone was to get a CS, I would maybe lean towards it being Schmeichel

            2 Blokes (Japanese and American) are playing golf. The Japanese guy is getting ready to tee off and suddenly starts talking to his thumb.

            American bloke says: "What you doin?"

            "Oh, don't worry, with Microtechnology I have a Microphone in my thumb. I was just recording a message."

            The 2 men carry on golfing, but all of a sudden the American man makes a funny sound, that amazingly sounds like a fart. The Japanese man looks over at him. 'Oh,' says the American. "Don't worry, I'm just receiving a fax."

  6. thetinkerman
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who is everyone planning on playing in goal for the final 4 GWs?

    Ivan/Terry, Skrtel, Kosc and Alderweireld seem like safe options for their respective teams so I doubt getting keepers from those teams is a good option.

    Schmeichel and Panti seem like good options for the DGWs but neither are going to pick up many CSs.

    1. thetinkerman
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Or is double Soton defence the way to go?

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years

      Mignolet

    3. Doolittle

      I'm getting Mignolet over Skrtel.

        What's your backline if you don't mind sharing?

        I am looking at a WC GW 34 backline of

        Schmeichel Davis

        Terry Skrtel Alderweireld PVA Bruce

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Kasper/Panti
          Baines-Terry-Hutton-Pva-Wolly

          No WC.

        2. Doolittle
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          At the moment it's:

          Myhill/Foster
          Terry/Bertrand/Alde/P. Jones/Dawson

          Was going to do Jones to Skrtel, but I really don't want to play Myhill for the rest of the season.

          1. Doolittle
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            That's not a WC though.

    4. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Can't be bothered with changing keepers for the run in. It's a lottery. Got to catch the Lukaku/Nolan's in GW 38 a few years back when they both scored hat tricks.

  8. Curse of the Captain Poll
    McNulty
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like we have a captain poll curse here!

    Of all the 'landslide' captain polls this season (over 40% of votes to the poll leader) we have raked in a whopping 4 point average, with the highlight being a 7 point haul way back in the opening gameweek with Rooney grabbing a goal in the 2-1 home defeat to Swansea.

    GW1 - Rooney (SWA) - 7 pts (59% of votes)
    GW2 - Costa (LEI) - 6 pts (51% of votes)
    GW6 - Costa (AVL) - 6 pts (55% of votes)
    GW9 - Aguero (whm) - 2 pts (50% of votes)
    GW12 - Costa (WBA) - 6 pts (41% of votes)
    GW15 - Aguero (EVE) - 1 pt (52% of votes)
    GW21 - Hazard (NEW) - 3 pts (43% of votes)
    GW23 - Sanchez (AVL) - 0 pts - Injured (50% of votes)
    GW24 - Aguero (HUL) - 5 pts (67% of votes)
    GW29 - Aguero (bur) - 2 pts (48% of votes)
    GW32 - Kane (AVL) - 2 pts (44% of votes)

    So who has the cojones to go against the grain this week?

      Hi guys,

      Shameless repost, so apologies !

      I have two freebies this week. Reckon the following are good moves ?

      Lloris --> Schmiecal

      Austin --> Vardy

      Would then most likely take a hit next week to get Hendo AND Sterling/Coutinho in.

      Thoughts, good people...?? 🙂

      Makes good enough sense, yeah ?!

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA

      • 12 Years

      Nice find. I'm currently on Aguero so it looks like I'll be getting 4points

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'd be quite happy with this given my recent captain points

    6. McNulty
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm still sticking with Aguero, I think a lot of it is coincidence more than anything. But it does show that there is plenty of opportunity out there to climb the rankings with different captain choices.

    7. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I normally do - although I did captain 4 of that list - mostly Costa's 6 pointers. But I can't really see past Aguero this week.

    8. Ryan

      In those weeks, what did the second choice score?

      1. McNulty
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Ill try post something a bit more detailed later

    10. Doolittle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nice work, I was burned by this by going with Kane against the stats and my instinct last week. Starting to make me doubt Hazard next week...

      1. McNulty
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Just to mention this doesnt include DGW's. I think Kane was top for both of those, 15 pts in his DGW and we all know how GW31 turned out for Kane captainers.

    11. Nico.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      After this post, the tide will shift towards Kane, allowing Aguero to do well again 😉

    12. Margarido
      • 12 Years

      You just jinxed it!

    13. Barry Woj

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      11/32 and 5 of those aren't even true blanks. The curse is a lie!

      The scores for the rest of the gameweeks and who was second would be interesting to know!

    14. Carlos Kickaball
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      It must be a curse, you mean it's not like players scores are random and fairly unpredictable. 😉

      Including Sánchez in there was a bit harsh.

    15. Judas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      this is great. so interesting and shows how predictable this season has been

    16. McNulty
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Here are the point returns for #2 ranked players in the poll for the highlighted weeks:

      GW1 - Costa (bur) - 6 pts (12% of votes)
      GW2 - Fabregas (LEI) - 6 pts (14% of votes)
      GW6 - Jovetic (STK) - 2 pts (14% of votes)
      GW9 - Pelle (STK) - 5 pts (16% of votes)
      GW12 - Aguero (SWA) - 2 pts (38% of votes)
      GW15 - Costa (new) - 1 pt (unknown %)
      GW21 - Costa (NEW) - 6 pts (15% of votes)
      GW23 - Giroud (AVL) - 10 pts (unknown %)
      GW24 - Hazard (avl) - 10 pts (unknown %)
      GW29 - Sanchez (WHM) - 2 pts (11% of votes)
      GW32 - Hazard (qpr) - 6 pts (17% of votes)

      5.1 average, so a decent yet unspectacular improvement although you have to consider that these were the weeks where there was supposedly a clear cut number one choice (GW12 aside) in the poll. I got the poll percentages off the Captain Sensible articles so not all the percentages are available but the players are listed in order to get the number two ranked players in the poll.

      Over the season I would expect the number one choices to probably be the best and the poll a good guide in general, but for whatever reason whenever there is a one sided poll they seem to fail more often than not!

      I think all it highlights is how unpredictable the Premier League is and we shouldn't be afraid to go against the grain with other players who have proved themselves as captain material, even if they arent playing in the prime fixture for the week. When the poll so heavily favours one player any succesful differential captain pick could see you soar up the rankings. Of course it works the other way as well but those are the risks of an FPL manager.

      1. McNulty
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        GW23 - Di Maria (LEI) - 5 pts (8%)*

      2. Carlos Kickaball
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        You have to remember two things though McNulty:

        1) Everyone only gets one vote, you can think it's a close decision, but you still have to make a very definite choice. As a result polls usually reflect smaller differences, with exaggerated differences in votes.

        2) Groupthink and biases, help to drive less diverse decisions.

      Ha! I was tracking these kind of stats at the start of the season but gave it up as being pretty unrewarding after a while - I wasn't learning anything surprising.

    Big question for me this week is Bolasie or Puncheon?
    Thoughts?

    1. Royal5
      • 13 Years

      Bolazza

    2. Teror
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I tried ask that same bleeding question and I think the response was split 3 / 2 or 4 / 3 in Puncheon's favour. I still can't decide.

      Leaning towards Punch as Bolasie's 24 point haul last week was an anamoly and Punch has been a bit more of a consistent performer... but... it all depends on who plays in the hole...

      1. The_Colonel

        9 years, 6 months ago

        i think im favoring puncheon too. On free kicks etc. Bolasie is too erratic imo .

      Da Punch

      bolasieis a bandwagon trans, his last goal was gw5 in september,puncheon only has 4 goals this seson,less assists, think murray is one to go withshort term, then palace got chel utd and liv, so they dont sound as appealing then

    Do we think mane and ward prowse will start at the weekend?

    If not who do you think will be benched?

    I have 11 players but it includes those 2 :/

    I'm planning on swapping Sanchez for Fabregas this week but I'm tempted for a one week punt on Bolasie then swapping to Fabregas the week after. Any thoughts?

      Don't do it. Bolasie and Murray being advertised here a little too much.

        Bolassie yes
        Murray no. He has earned it on his own

    @Jonty - what % of submitted articles make it through to publication? Just thinking after seeing Thomassss's post above

    1. HVT
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He's gone to the loo Numb!

  14. Teror
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Going to have to go for a -4 this week (+2FT) so I can field 10 players, but what do you chaps say going -8 for a full 11??

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Probably worth it yeah, as long as its a decent player

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I was thinking....

        Coutinho > Puncheon / Bolasie
        Ozil > Fab (already have Haz)
        N.Taylor > Fernandez (LEI-A)
        PvA > Stones (Burnley-H)

        1. Gizzachance
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          ozil to fab for dgw

  15. Feeling_blue

    Im playing my WC next week. Should I do Remy to Murray for -4 this week?

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Go on, do it.

  16. Gigging Order
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    How's this (slightly) different take on a WC for GW34?

    COURTOIS (Gilks)

    TERRY SKRTEL SCHLUPP (Toby, PVA)

    STERLING HENDERSON HAZARD Silva (Phillips)

    VARDY Giroud Aguero

    1. Gigging Order
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      * with Myhill in place of Gilks (I had 0.2 ITB actually)

    dont have enough to do moreno for bellerin next week
    would u do bellerin to lovren or clyne to moreno?
    also would u waste 4 points to get cambiasso this week? only have 10 players

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Bellerin > Lovren. Don't even think about trading Clyne to Moreno.

  18. FantaCity
    • 11 Years

    Pellegrini presser today or tomorrow??

    1. Forza

      It's not happening, he's too busy crying in his office with a bottle of whiskey after hearing about the Klopp news.

  19. Papinade

    My team is a mess...how did it come to this??? Any advice please...
    Panti, Foster
    Terry, Clyne, Bellerin, Naughton, Yun
    Hazard, Silva, Cazorla, Mane, Boyd
    Giroud, Kane, Remy
    1FT, £6.1 in bank...no WC

    Still leading by 150 pts in my league, but getting twichy...

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Giroud -> Aguero

    2. Teror
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Just throw the towel in m8.

    3. pilgrimchris

      I'd be well happy with a 150 pt lead at this stage of the season 🙂 I'd definitely switch out Giroud for Aguero and maybe replace Mane with someone like Bolasie. Play it safe and steady and you should be home and dry

    4. Skokym
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      150 points? I am quite confident with 60!

    5. Papinade
      • 11 Years

      Thanks guys, i feel a lot more positive about the future now!

    Any news on Clyne? Will he play??

    1. Holmes

      Koeman on changes: "It's about freshness. I spoke to @Nathaniel_Clyne yesterday. It's just a rest for the player."

    In serious need of some help and advice. Have been top of my mini-league pretty much all season until about two weeks ago. Now about 25 pts short of the new leader but can't seem to pull back. Really screwed up last week bringing in Remy and Sturridge.

    Current team;
    GK - De Gea
    DF - Ivanovic - Bertrand - Bellerin
    MF - Mane - Hazard - Sanchez - Silva
    CF - Kane - Remy - Sturridge

    SUBS - McCarthy - Moreno - Boyd - Baird

    My main rival has Mignolet, Krul, Dawson, Bertrand, Ivanovic, Lescott, Hazard, Sanchez, Cazorla, Kane, Benteke, Austin, Coquelin, Sinclair, O'Shea

    I've used my wildcard and have 1 FT.

    1. Gizzachance
