Scout Notes

Budget Magpies strike as puzzle emerges in Brighton defence

There were goals for two budget Newcastle United strikers in the latest round of pre-season friendlies.

Meanwhile, the defensive situation at Brighton was complicated slightly as Leon Balogun made his first appearance for the Seagulls and Crystal Palace won again.

In this Scout Notes article we’ll discuss what that all means for our Gameweek 1 preparations…

BRIGHTON 1-1 PORTSMOUTH | CHARLTON ATHLETIC 1-1 BRIGHTON

  • Goals: Anthony Knockaert (£5.5m) | Pascal Groß (£7.0m)
  • Assists: Tomer Hemed (£5.0m) | Glenn Murray (£6.5m)

Following his World Cup campaign with Nigeria, Leon Balogun (£4.5m) has arrived on the scene for Brighton to complicate centre-back selection in Sussex. The 30-year-old played just over an hour alongside Lewis Dunk (£4.5m) at Charlton, the second of two friendlies played on Tuesday. The starting XI named for the Valley meeting appears to have been the stronger of the two team-sheets on the day, with Shane Duffy (£4.5m) involved in the behind-closed-doors match against Portsmouth. However, that fact shouldn’t count against the Irishman as his game-time is still being managed because of his groin injury last month and being forced off against Wimbledon. Fantasy managers interested in Brighton’s defence will have to follow further Scout Notes to see who earns favour at centre-back between now and Gameweek 1.

Glenn Murray (£6.5m) was another returning face after ankle trouble forced him out of the pre-season match against St Gallen in Switzerland earlier this month. He featured from the beginning against Charlton and set up Brighton’s only goal of the game. The veteran striker connected with James Tilley’s cross shortly after half-time, his header saved by Dillon Phillips and turned in by Pascal Groß (£7.0m). With Tomer Hemed (£5.0m) involved in the secondary line-up used earlier in the day and Jurgen Locadia (£6.0m) now confirmed as being out for two weeks following the injury sustained at Wimbledon, Murray certainly has the advantage over his colleagues when it comes to competition for the centre-forward role.

Also returning from summer leave was Mat Ryan (£4.5m), who managed 51 minutes against Portsmouth before being replaced by Hugo Keto, while it has been revealed that Jose Izquierdo (£6.0m) won’t be involved in match action until a behind-closed-doors match against Nice next week. The Colombian has returned to the club but is restricted to training and won’t be involved at Birmingham City on Saturday, as is the case with new signing Florin Andone (£5.0m), who has a minor groin injury.

Defender Markus Suttner (£4.0m) was deployed on the left-wing once again and, while he is unlikely to feature in the first-team this season, it’s worth knowing he is an alternative in that position if injuries occur to Solly March (£5.0m) or Izquierdo. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.0m) appears to still have the advantage in Suttner’s price bracket, with Bournemouth’s Jack Simpson potentially an outside option.

Anthony Knockaert (£6.0m) got his first goal of pre-season against Portsmouth, converting a cross from Hemed, adding an assist to his two goals of the summer so far.

BRIGHTON XI vs PORTSMOUTH (4-4-1-1): Ryan (Keto 51’); Bong (Mandroiu 51’), White (Collar 51’), Duffy, Schelotto; Suttner, Kayal, Bissouma (Gyokeres 51’), Knockaert; Norwood; Hemed.

BRIGHTON XI vs CHARLTON (4-4-1-1): Button (Keto 79’); Bernardo (Cochrane 79’), Dunk (Kerr 79’), Balogun (Barclay 64’), Bruno (Moore 79’); March (Maguire-Drew 79’), Pröpper (Collar 79’), Stephens (Normann 79’), Towell (Tilley 36’ | Gyokeres 57’); Groß (Mandoiu 79’); Murray (Connolly 64’).

STEVENAGE 1-2 CRYSTAL PALACE

  • Goals: Jonny Williams, Sullay Kaikai
  • Assists: Jason Puncheon (£4.5m), Jason Lokilo

Youngster Sullay Kaikai continued his fine pre-season form on Monday, his third goal making him the top-scorer of the summer so far for Crystal Palace. The attacking midfielder has not been added to FPL yet but may well receive a price in the coming days following his involvement with the first-team so far. He has started two matches but has been involved in all four, registering a total of 246 minutes, featuring for at least an hour in three of them and involving himself in a goal in every single one with his assist against Heksingør. Two of those appearances have involved a centre-forwards role for him and he was stationed in attacking midfield at Stevenage where he netted a late winner.

Alexander Sørloth (£5.0m) furthered his case for inclusion in Gameweek 1 squads with his fourth consecutive start of pre-season. As of Monday, he is now the only Palace player to have featured from the beginning of every match so far. Christian Benteke (£6.5m) is yet to make a return after being brought off as a precautionary measure against Halmstads, so Sørloth still has the advantage, and could provide a value route into Palace’s attack with a goal and three assists so far this summer.

New man Vicente Guaita (£4.5m) has now overtaken Wayne Hennessey for game-time so far in pre-season, with the first-choice goalkeeper still unclear. The Spaniard has registered 180 minutes to the Welshman’s 135, with both of them having conceded two goals each. With the uncertainty over the position at Palace, it further strengthens the case for investment in assets such as Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m), James Tomkins (£4.5m), Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) and Wan-Bissaka whose starting places look much more assured, although none of them featured at Stevenage.

CRYSTAL PALACE XI (4-2-3-1): Guaita; Souare, Woods, Kelly, Ward; Puncheon, Williams (McGregor 69’); Lumeka, Kaikai (Street 90’), Lokilo; Sørloth (Daly 69’).

HULL CITY 2-2 NEWCASTLE UNITED

  • Goals: Joselu (£5.0m), Ayoze Perez (£6.5m)
  • Assists: Jonjo Shelvey (£5.5m), Ciaran Clark (£4.5m)

After scoring on six occasions in the final eight Gameweeks of last season, Ayoze Perez (£6.5m) once again demonstrated his eye for goal in Newcastle United’s 2-2 draw with Hull City at the KCOM Stadium on Tuesday.

The Spaniard tapped in a late equaliser after defender Ciaran Clark (£4.5m) had flicked on debutant Ki Sung-yueng‘s (£5.0m) corner.

Clark is a name to monitor for Fantasy managers, following Jamaal Lascelles‘ price rise to £5.0m, Chancel Mbemba’s departure to Porto and the news that Florian Lejeune (£4.5m) is suffering from a knee injury.

Rafael Benitez said of the Spanish centre-half’s knock: “Some of the players have little problems. The only one that is a bit more serious could be Lejeune. He has a knee problem that we have to assess in the next couple of days.”

United had the best defence outside of the top seven last season and, although their fixtures in the first few Gameweeks are fairly unappealing, Clark would represent decent value at £4.5m with Newcastle short in the centre-back department.

The Magpies have, however, been linked with a move for Fabian Schar in recent days and the Swiss international’s arrival would likely see Clark slip back down the pecking order.

Joselu (£5.0m) started his second successive pre-season friendly for Benitez’s side and the much-maligned Spanish forward opened the scoring early in the first half, latching on to a trademark Jonjo Shelvey (£5.5m) through-ball.

Shelvey and Matt Ritchie (£6.0m) both went close with free-kicks before Hull turned the match on its head with two scrappy goals either side of the break.

A mixture of youth products, reserves and established first-teamers lined up in Benitez’s customary 4-2-3-1 formation, with Shelvey and Mo Diame (£5.0m) reprising their partnership in the double-pivot. DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m), Lascelles and Ritchie were the only other regulars to start the match, with goalkeeper Martin Dubrakva (£5.0m) an unused substitute. Kenedy (£5.0m), meanwhile, missed the match as his wife has recently given birth.

NEWCASTLE XI (4-2-3-1): Darlow (Woodman 46′); Yedlin (Sterry 46′), Lascelles (Clark 46′), Yarney (Hayden 53′), Roberts (Manquillo 46′); Shelvey (Ki 69′), Diame (Fernandez 60′); Murphy (Aarons 46′), Longstaff, Ritchie; Joselu (Perez 46′).

    A) Begovic + Fabianski + Mendy
    B) Ederson + 4.0 + Bailly

    1. Buck The Trent

      Why would you want Begovic?

      Bournemouth home games usually end 2-2.

    3. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years

      Patricio instead of Bego and A

    Hi guys,
    This is my 1st draft, would love your comment on this team. I feel pretty comfortable with this team.
    Ederson
    Ward / Robertson /Daniels
    Salah / Mahrez / Jota / Richarlison
    Zaha / Aguero / Firmino

    Subs: AWB/ Masuaku/ Malone

    Still not sure on Richarlison since he has not played yet for them. So i could downgrade Richarlison with him a DEF. Planning to swap Aguero for Aub at week 3. Thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Thanks

    1. TrashTalkers
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Forgot to mention my backup GK is Speroni

    2. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Think Bournemouth just signed a FB? Daniels isn't dependable in any case. Palace would be better?

  3. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    I really don't understand the whole Douglas thing. Fair enough if they think they have somebody better coming in, but he'd make a more than adequate back up... and if not - why aren't other premier league clubs in for him? Leeds are a midtable Championship team, and Douglas has already proved he's better than that level.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Had Douglas ever played above the Championship ? Don’t think he has proved much yet

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        He's proved that he's good enough to play for the Premier League champions, so teams like Huddersfield/Cardiff/Brighton/Watford should be all over him.

        1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          *Championship champions.

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Be has only proved he is a good Championship player, without having played in the Premier League yet he has not proved any thing except potential 🙂

      Rule Number 1: Don't sell to rivals

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Think Wolves are fairly safe for a top-12 finish. Wouldn't call the relegation candidates rivals for you lot.

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I meant selling to the likes of Arsenal and Spurs 🙂 😀

    3. The Pesci challenge

      Not this year. Leeds have invested in a top manager and in the squad and they maybe getting vydra in as well. Leeds for top 6

    4. Hooky
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I think his lack of pace is why Nuno is worried about him at a higher level.

  4. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years

    Brighton's new player is: Alireza Jahanbakhsh
    J like jay

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I would only pick one of Ederson, Mendy.

  9. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    What is the better option out of.....

    A....firmino and cairney

      Sorry....B includes an additional 1m

    2. The Pesci challenge

      1. Squires FC
        • 10 Years

        A* due to fixtures

    2. french holiday

      5 years, 8 months ago

      a) due to experience

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A

  11. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    How does a front 5 of Richarlison, Mkhi Salah, Aub and Kun look with two 5m mids who might occasionally be played and a 4.5 striker who won't ever be played?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Sounds perfect. Lock your team in.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Ok, since you said so.

    2. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Every way I look at it - it's v hard to have salah auba and kun with a squad that looks reasonable....

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Perhaps. It really depends where the value will be this year. Defenders playing in midfield really does encourage playing at least 4 at the back which enables you to weaken your midfield. It's definitely possible to have all 3.

    3. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      dont think mkhitaryan is as nailed as everyone thinks...emery wants a new winger

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed waiting till gw3 to see how they line up, currently have auba that’s enough for me at the moment

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      With £9 mill mids generally outscoring £11 mill forwards, I can’t see the need for the £11 mill forwards ?

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I have Aguero but Aubameyang from GW 3 are amazing so I think I’ll get him in, depending on Aguero start..

        Having Salah, Aguero and Aubameyang, limits the rest of the squad

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          That is the whole point - the 9 m mids will score more than the Auba & Kun, so why get Auba and Kun at the expense of the mids ?

  12. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Jeff Schlupp: £4.5m, defender.

    Lined up at left midfield for three out of four of Palace's preseason games thus far. If nailed, worthy of serious consideration over PvA.

    Likely to get subbed anywhere around the 70 minute mark too, making those CS points even more likely.

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah looking into doing this myself, currently have Tomkins

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      what are his underlying attacking stats?

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Get membership and find out 🙂

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      From experience the OOP full back playing winger or mid etc normally gets dropped as part of a formation shuffle ... great in theory until the wheels fall off - the correct peg in the correct slot normal prevails

  13. french holiday
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    WHO ARE YOUR PALACE PICKS?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      Popcorn ... 🙂

    2. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wan bissaka

      Looking at zaha now there seems to be question mark over firmino starting gw1

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      NOT SURE

    4. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      W-B and Zaha.Sako was tempting but read somewhere he wanted to leave.

  14. Epic Fail

    You fools don't know about the new article? In fact it's not even that new.

  15. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    What 3 forwards have you got in your latest draft?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero, Zaha + Arnie

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        That's the trio I have in the back of my mind, but doesn't not having Auba play on your mind?

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I plan to get him in after the Huddersfield game as I doubt Auba hauls against City or Chelsea

        2. french holiday
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          i am confident aguero can match him for the first month and as long as salah is my captain it wont matter

    2. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      aguero arnie tosun

    3. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kun Auba Zaha

    4. Chrisirwin01

  16. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone on here considering Willian? Seems a decent price at 7.5.

    1. french holiday
      • 6 Years

      i choose ramsey instead

      1. Warby84

  17. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    haven't seen Vardy in any RMTs

    is that because Mahrez leaving is expected to lower his goal tally?

      or the world cup rest

      It's because Maddison is most likely to get most of his assists and be better for bonus as pretty much the only source of creativity in the first 11 other than the fullbacks, at 6.5 instead of 9.0. Great option though.

        yeah he could be a real option Maddison

      That opening fixture might be enough to frighten off managers but then again i seem to remember the Vardy party in full swing against United in the past.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy likes to score against the top 6 too

        may be a superb differential for the ones that go with him

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Indeed

      Personally, I'm steering clear because I think their midfield are seriously lacking creativity.

  18. JJeyy

    Best option?:

    A) Sane + Tomkins + Patricio/Fab rotation
    B) Mkhi + Azpi + Ederson/4.0

  19. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Best defender at 4.5?

    1. Victor6359
      • 6 Years

      Tomkins or Cedric

    Hello guys

    What do you think?

    De Gea

    Davies
    Robertson
    Mendy

    Sane
    Keita
    Neves
    Eriksen

    Aubameyang
    Firmino
    Arnautovic

    Subs:

    Stekelenburg
    Bednarek
    Stephens
    Wan-Bissaka

    Sure will change pending the next week/10 days but I feel quite happy with the above.

    Thoughts?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty lovely. That looks like an expensive team alright. Not sure on Keita until we see him bed in though.

      1. QPRTerry
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah Keita I'm bit hmmm on and keep looking at Richarlson...but have a feeling he suits the English game Keita so will see after week one.

        Got 0.5 in the bank so might swap Sane for KDB once he's starting as Sane might be in and out too much as the season wears on.

        Thanks for the opinion also!

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Richarlison is essential imo. Just look at his stats under Silva, and he's got to be nailed.

          1. QPRTerry
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            That's the dilemma haha

            • 6 Years

            ofc for 50mil you would bet your salary that hes nailed

    2. Chrisirwin01
      • 7 Years

      Solid looking team. One of the better non-salah teams. I just feel it's too risky but all the best with it

  21. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    A) Mkhi + Bavies
    B) Willian + Coleman

    1. Victor6359
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      A for me

    I've never had to change half my fantasy football teams because Leeds have signed a player before.

    Amazed.

    What’s your thoughts on this fellas?

    Pickford (speroni)
    Robertson, PVA, Cedric, Daniels (peltier)
    Salah(c), D Silva, Rich (Maddison, Ward)

    Anywhere I can improve??

    1. FlytzoBazooka

      Jorginho too defensive. Get a 4.5 GK and upgrade him !!!

      1. Sharpey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Have done that, but to bump up to Zaha...know what you’re saying about Jorginho, but surely a constant starter, less defensive due to Kante being there, good passer, so lots of clean sheets and BP potential?

        Who would be a better 5.5 mid?

    I looked up this sorloth fella, he looks like a fast Peter Crouch

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn8fsuAxVQg

    He can play left or right wing if needed as well.

    Mata, Salah, Pereyra, Lamela, Pedro
    Auba, Aguero
