Scout Notes – Pre-Season

Mohamed Salah marks his Liverpool debut with a goal, but Brighton’s main man Anthony Knockaert is injured as the pre-season schedule gathers pace.

Elsewhere, a Dwight Gayle double does the trick for Newcastle United, and Jonathan Walters opens his account for Burnley.

Here’s the run-down on last night’s action.

Wigan Athletic 1 Liverpool 1

Mohamed Salah scored on his Liverpool debut as more members of the Reds’ potent midfield were given their first pre-season outing at Wigan Athletic.

The summer signing from Roma, who has already tempted 11.4% of Fantasy Premier League managers to invest in him, struck on the stroke of half-time when he converted a Roberto Firmino pass.

Manager Jurgen Klopp fielded Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana in an attacking first-half team set up in a 4-3-3, with goalkeeper Simon Mignolet also handed his first start as the Reds upped their preparations for the new campaign.

Liverpool’s shape was difficult to assess, with Klopp clearly allowing for fluidity in his formation. Georginio Wijnaldum appeared to take up the number six role as a deep lying midfielder, with Ben Woodburn and Lallana also dropping alongside him at times. Roberto Firmino played as the central attacker, although he swapped with Salah throughout the first period.

A completely different side took to the pitch of a second half that even Klopp was forced to admit was ‘a little bit boring, to be honest’.

Of rather more interest to Fantasy managers were local reports that Liverpool, as well as upping their bid for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita, are in advanced talks with Hull City over the signing of left-back Andy Robertson.

Should Robertson make the move, the 10.5%-owned James Milner’s place at left-back will no longer be assured, particularly as Klopp will have to rotate his squad to cope with the demands of Champions League football. Milner would, however, be expected to retain a starting role initially.

Liverpool XI First half: Mignolet; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Klavan, Flanagan; Wijnaldum, Lallana, Woodburn; Salah, Coutinho, Firmino.

Liverpool XI Second half: Karius; Gomez, Stewart, Lovren, Milner; Henderson, Grujic, Chirivella; Solanke, Sturridge, Origi.

Brighton And Hove Albion 2 Fortuna Dusseldorf 0

Star man Anthony Knockaert lasted only ten minutes of Brighton’s first pre-season match.

The 8.5%-owned midfielder limped off after receiving treatment to an injury sustained in a heavy tackle and later left the ground on crutches, his leg encased in a protective boot.

Hughton confirmed post-match that the Frenchman had suffered an ankle injury.

“It’s too early to tell at the moment. He’s a little bit sore and got some swelling on his ankle. We’ve had incidents in the past with Anthony where we thought it was going to be bad, but he’s always made good recoveries. We hope it’s the same with this one, but we certainly won’t know anything about the injury for another couple of days.”

Should Knockaert be out for a lengthy spell, it will be a bitter blow for manager Chris Hughton, who will have to start the Seagulls’ top-flight campaign without the Championship player of the year.

The injury overshadowed a 2-0 win for Brighton, with two late goals in as many minutes from Jamie Murphy and Tomer Hemed securing the victory.

Scots winger Murphy cut inside to open the scoring in the 77th minute before Hemed doubled the lead, the Israeli striker scoring from an Oliver Norwood cross.

Hughton used a 4-4-1-1 formation throughout, handing new signing Markus Suttner his first start at left-back, while defender Connor Goldson made his first appearance since heart surgery in the second-half team.

Fellow new boy Mat Ryan didn’t figure – the Australian keeper has been given extra time to recover from his participation in the Confederations Cup.

Brighton XI First half: Maenpaa; Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Suttner; Knockaert (LuaLua 10), Stephens, Kayal, March; Gross; Murray.

Brighton XI Second half: Maenpaa; Rosenior, Goldson, Huenemeier, Bong; Murphy, Sidwell, Norwood, Skalak; Towell; Hemed.

Shamrock Rovers 0 Burnley 4

All three of Burnley’s summer signings started the match in Dublin, with veteran Jonathan Walters marking his debut with an early goal.

The Republic of Ireland international scored after just nine minutes, having been put through by fellow new boy Jack Cork, in a team that also featured former Leeds United full-back Charlie Taylor.

Walters was then substituted after just 33 minutes, although to date there has been no explanation as to why, as Burnley had to wait for three second-half goals to confirm their superiority.

Ashley Barnes made it two, curling home after collecting a Matthew Lowton long ball, before Robbie Brady hit the third following good work by Stephen Ward.

Sam Vokes, the 6.0-priced striker who finished last year in fine form on the way to a ten-goal season haul, rounded off the scoring, albeit in fortuitous fashion.

The Welsh international attempted to duck out of the way of a Jeff Hendrick half-volley, only for the ball to hit him on the back and go in off the bar.

Burnley XI First half: Heaton; Darikwa, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Defour, Cork; O’Neill, Gudmundsson, Walters (Agyei 34); Gray.

Burnley XI Second half: Pope; Lowton, Anderson, K Long, Ward; Ulvestad (Agyei 78), Westwood, Hendrick, Brady; Vokes, Barnes (C Long 85).

Heart of Midlothian 1 Newcastle 2

Dwight Gayle started pre-season where he left off in the Championship, grabbing both goals in a fine first-half display at Tynecastle.

The striker was the Magpies’ top scorer last season, hitting 23 goals from 26 starts, and his brace will have pleased the 11.8% of Fantasy managers who have currently made him their cut-price third forward.

New signing Florian Lejeune was given a run-out in defence for the second half by coach Rafa Benitez, but it was a returning midfielder who caught the eye.

Siem De Jong was back at the club following a loan spell with PSV Eindhoven, and he picked out Gayle with a fine pass for the first goal, part of a fine performance that suggested the Dutchman has a point to prove to Benitez.

De Jong played the No 10 role in a 4-4-1-1 formation from Benitez.

Jonjo Shelvey provided the assist for the Magpies’ second, picking out Gayle with his corner kick.

Matt Ritchie, who played a key role in leading Newcastle to the Championship title, played no part as he continues to recover from a groin operation back in April, while defender DeAndre Yedlin did not feature following his international exertions for the USA.

Newcastle XI First half: Elliot; Clark, Lascelles, Mbemba, Haïdara; Aarons, Shelvey; Diamé, Atsu, De Jong; Gayle.

Newcastle XI Second half: Elliot; Lejeune, Dummett, Mbemba (Hanley 62), Haïdara (Colback 62); Gamez, Shelvey; Diamé (Armstrong 62), Perez, De Jong; Mitrovic.

    Whadya think?

    Foster
    Cedric Lindelof Kolasinac
    Zaha Pogba Salah Sane
    Lukaku Kane Abraham

    (Myhill LC Mee Hunemeier)

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Too much in defense for a 3 man backline, plus is Abraham even nailed?

    2. Latchmere Wave Machine
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I really like it

      1. Latchmere Wave Machine
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Take some value out of defence to replace Abraham > Gayle/Austin?

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You have a problem if Abraham does not play.

    4. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It's superb - Abraham is the issue - maybe pre-season will help cement his place.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Kolasinac + Abraham > Ake and Gayle?

    5. 6thGoal
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Play a 4-4-2, sit Tammy and start Mee.

    6. Forever mirin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Solid team. Like your structure overall but would do Abraham to 4.5 and use 442. Dont like any cheap striker/mid options.

      Would also pick Ramsey/Willian over Zaha and Cout over Salah (why risk Salah needing some time to settle in?).
      Not too much in it though.

  2. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts?

    Foster - Elliot
    Trippier/Lindelof - Cedric - Dawson - 4.5 - 4.0
    KDB - Ramsey - Willian - Phillips - RLC
    Kane - Lukaku - Firmino

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      anyone? lol

      1. Latchmere Wave Machine
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Supposed doubts over trippier now so linedof for me, rest of defence works well. I don't get the Ramsey thing! He's so 3/4 seasons ago, zaha a better option to start and I wouldn't invest in wba attacking assets so look elsewhere, maybe gundogan if he's fit?...front is boss so I wouldn't change anything.
        Hope that helps.

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

      A bit weak in the MF after KDB. Willian will be a short term answer while Hazard is out, but didn't get enough games for me last year. Ramsey doesn't excite me, would rather play Zaha, knowing he will get more playing time.

    3. Forever mirin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not bad at all. Would consider a few changes though

      Firmino - 4.5 (think pool mids offer better value)
      Philips - Cout
      4.5 def - Kolasniac or the other one of Tripper/Lindelof
      And a switch to 442 would be my suggestions.

    4. FPL-Gutten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Would choose Lindelof over Trippier for the first gameweeks. Seems like a solid team.

  3. Dr Dream
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    He got a bit of stick these last few days and he's expensive...but....Walker could do very well at City.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He will. But he is bloody expensive.

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

      Still cheaper than Alonso, but feel Walker has a better chance at offensive points than Valencia does at 6.5.

      1. b✪mber
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I thought that CS are the main income of D points

  4. Sánchez
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone considering Son?
    Seems much better use of 8.0 than Pogba to me but getting few mentions by comparison

    1. Clumsy Sakho
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Broke his arm or something

    2. Ramboros
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He's injured. Probably going to miss the first 3 games or so.

      1. Sánchez
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Aaaahhh

    3. Speédy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Is he 100% nailed??

    4. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He'd be straight into my team if he wasn't injured 🙁

    5. 6thGoal
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      At 8.0, I still take Pogba over Son, even though Son outscored him by 60-70 points last season. Just a feel MNU will have a good offensive season, better on the finishing that last season with Zlatan.

  5. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Still wondering the better choice of:

    A. KdB + Pogba
    B. KdB + Pedro
    C. Cou + Sane + 0,5m (Rosenior to Lascelles in bench)

    Please help, thx you.

    1. Clumsy Sakho
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. TooDifficuIt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      b

    3. Ode
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would go with A

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

    5. 6thGoal
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I like 'A'

    6. Forever mirin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A - by some distance. Nailedness and set pieces decides it for me.

  6. Clumsy Sakho
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Fabianski
    Trippier | McAuley | Aké | Cedric |
    Alli | Mané | Tadic
    Lukaku | Lacazette | Jesus

    Elliot | RLC Chalobah Rangel

    I think I'm there

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Dawson for McAuley, rem looks good

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A strong 4-3-3 team. How long can McThuselah keep performing?

  7. reason17
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hi, I'd love some opinions on how to improve my team:

    Foster - Myhill
    David Luiz - Lindelof - Cedric - B Mee - Francis
    De bruyne - Alli - Tadic - Knockaert - RL Cheek
    Lukaku - Lacazette - Gayle

    1.0 ITB

    Knockaert to ramsey perhaps? any ideas at all will help

    1. Clumsy Sakho
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Also get rid of David Luiz! Stump up the cash for Alonso imo

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Might need to replace Knockaert now too.

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ramsey is a good upgrade from Knockaert. Downgrade DL to someone like Dawson or Ake,

    3. 6thGoal
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If you move Knockaert, I would prefer Zaha at 7.0. I agree with others move Luiz atleast for the first 6 games, straight swap with Bailly to start the season and double up on Man U.

  8. I Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) Lacazette + Ritchie (4-3-3)
    B) Ramsey + Alli (4-4-2)

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B easy

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

      Not a Ramsey fan, think he could struggle for pitch time. I would go A.

  9. Wild Rover
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I love preseason, you can cancel all of your drunken transfers for free 🙂

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      THIS. ^^^ 😀

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

      Amen to that

    3. The Royal Robin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      POTD

    4. Dr Dream
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. I had Shelvey in a while ago....CRIKEY...

  10. Lukanio
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If i should choose one for each position for the first 10 GWs, who should i Pick?

    Mid.:
    Ritchie , Stanislas, Fraser , Fer or Snodgrass

    For.:
    Gayle , Afobe , Gabbiadini , Austin or Deeney

    I am playing with 3-4-3, and the above choices are considered as 4th Mid. & 3rd. Forward.

    1. Clumsy Sakho
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ritchie Gayle

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        this

      2. Lukanio
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Gayle worth it to be my 3rd Forward and play every match, is he really better than Gabbiadini as example ?

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Stan and Deeney.

      1. Lukanio
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        But watford has a difficult start, we can say that they have only 2 good fixtures in the first 10 GWs.

    3. 6thGoal
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      10 weeks? Why not 6 or 7 to coincide with the second international break? When do you plan on activating you first WC?

      1. Lukanio
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I am planing to play it this time at some point around GW.8

  11. Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Willian or Zaha?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      ZAHA. That's an easy one.

    2. TooDifficuIt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Willian

    3. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Willian for me..on set pieces and direct fks too...plus 100% nailed on with Haz out

    4. Ode
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha, good fixtures and guaranteed starts

    5. Zarafa
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Willian isn't a bad shout with Hazard out, so he'll play in the front 3 at least for the first few games. $1.0 discount on Pedro, good chance to be in the points

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Willian until Hazard back

    7. 6thGoal
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha based on fixtures for me, even though Willian could be featured more with Hazard out.

  12. Holding Matip
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Am I doing this right? Help a guy out! RMT

    Foster Elliot
    Trippier Lindeldof Milner Cedric Yedlin
    KDB Fabregas Coutinho RLC Cork
    Kane Lacazette Gayle

    Anything obvious I'm missing??

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      looks good for a 433, although Id have Willian in place of Fab, also not having Lukaku might hurt considering his high ownership and Uniteds great fixtures

      1. Holding Matip
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah my Fabregas is essentially "an in form Chelsea mid" so replaceable, for Lukaku, I'm basically choosing between Kane/Laca/Kaku and will probably rotate between the 3 of them! But thanks!

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

      Prefer Lascelles over Yedlin, not a fan of American players playing in the EPL.

  13. Cojiro
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Any 4.0 defenders knocking around?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep.

      But whether they will actually play or not is another matter.

    2. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hudson (Huddersfield) or Long (Burnley) probably get the most minutes at 4.0m

    3. liiusions
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cranie seems to be the best bet but even he is far from certain to start. They often only come about due to injuries/transfers

    4. Cojiro
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks guys. I'm fully aware of the risks. I'll probably find funds elsewhere as pre season kicks in

  14. Sánchez
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is Ramsay popularity based on something I'm missing?
    Did he finish last season on form or is he now nailed on or what?

    1. TooDifficuIt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      both

    2. I Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looks nailed and yeah he showed good form in the new formation.

    3. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      he performs well in a 3421 Arsenal setup, finished last season on a high and scored today

    4. Sánchez
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers all. I was casual last season compared to a few years ago so have missed a lot

    5. 6thGoal
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think it's a popularity thing, I don't have him in any lineup I have played around with. Same for for Trippier. Could be wrong.

  15. Jim Bexley Speed
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho or Salah?
      Fabregas or Willian?

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Coutinho, although Id have mane if u have the extra 0.5

        Willian

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Salah and Willian.

      3. 6thGoal
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Coutinho and Fabergas (until Hazard returns)

    • Chelsea222
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Foster
      Trip Cedric prodl
      Ramsey Willian KDB Alli
      Kane Luk Gayle

      Bench: RLC 4.0 4.0 myhill

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Too risky a bench, could take out aLlli for Cout and invest 0.5 in def (upgrade your 4m)

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

        Don't like Watford's start of the season, would move Prodl for Lascelles at 4.5, Newcastle after GW1 vs Spurs has some good fixtures.

        The TdF game has introduce a "roll back transfer" option.

        You don't get another go though until,after the next deadline.

          The new chip does this well.

      Any thoughts?

      Foster
      Alonso Lindelof Cedric
      KDB Mane Ramsey JWP
      Lukaku Lacazette Deeney

      Looking for an alternative to JWP at 5.5, or maybe finding a way to upgrade to a 6.0, but not sure where I'd downgrade.

        Allen or Fraser at 5.5 would be options for JWP. The only move I could see would be to downgrade Alonso or Lindelof. Lindelof could be moved for Cedric at So'ton saves 0.5 to upgrade JWP to a 6.0 midfielder; Stanislas, Phillips, Richie, etc, got some good looking options.

      Dilemma:

      A. KDB and pogba/Pedro

      Or

      B. Sane and alli

      Thanks

      1. Zarafa

        A.

        Easier to downgrade KDB to Alli if he starts scoring.

        Not so easy to change B to include KDB

      2. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        A. with Willian and KDB

        1. Bumbaclot
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Will Willian play over Pedro?

        A with Pogba

      RMT please..?

      Courtois, Foster
      Milner, Luiz, Ake, Mcauley, Rangel
      Eriksen, Pedro, Knockaert, Lanzini, Loftus
      Lacazette, Jesus, King

      1. Clumsy Sakho
        • 9 Years

        Watch for Milner and Knockaert, and rid of Luiz!

      2. Zarafa

        Probably can downgrade Foster if you intend to stick with Courtois.

        Would probably find some way to include United too, maybe Pedro > Pogba

      Betrand not playing in Southampton's friendly.

      1. The Royal Robin

        He's obviously off to Liverpool 😉

        Not putting much in preseason. Bertrand will be there come GW1.

      Please RMT:
      Foster myhill
      Otamendi bailly cedric lascelles hudson
      Pogba alli pedro kdb rlc
      Lukaku laca fletcher

      1. Zarafa
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'd take Otamendi out.

      2. 6thGoal

        Looks good. Could downgrade Pedro for Zaha and add Kompany to the defense giving you 0.5ITB

          So by your logic Zaha in a palace team is better than Pedro in the current champions line up?

      The only players I haven't transferred since the game actually opened is Lukaku and Foster.

      Fabregas has the second most assists in Premier League history. At 7.0 it's worth the risk 😀

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Willian > Fab for me.
