Scout Notes

Salah and Mané show promise despite blanks against Spurs

Saturday’s early kick-off proved a nervy one for Fantasy Premier League managers who had sold Liverpool assets.

The Reds were comfortably the better team at Wembley but ultimately their highly-owned Fantasy assets could not convert that into points.

In this latest Scout Notes article, we’ve taken a look at exactly how that could impact the Fantasy landscape going forward.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 1-2 LIVERPOOL

Goals: Erik Lamela (£6.4m) | Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m), Roberto Firmino (£9.4m)

Assists: Christian Eriksen (£9.3m)

The decision of some Fantasy managers to reduce the size of their Liverpool contingent was justified on Saturday lunch-time. However, several of the Reds’ premium assets were close to registering points in the match and could still offer potential going forward.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) blanked for the second match in a row but was joint-top for shots in the box for the encounter. His colleague Sadio Mané (£10.0m) registered the same number as him, with an additional effort outside the penalty area to boot.

Furthermore, Salah was joint-top in the match for chances created while Mané could have registered an assist were it not for an unorthodox combination of touches on his cross for Roberto Firmino‘s (£9.4m) goal.

Jan Vertonghen (£6.0m) touched his square pass onto the post, it cannoned back off it across the goal-line before Michel Vorm (£5.0m) got a touch in trying to claim it. That left Firmino unchallenged to tap in, but Mané should definitely take credit for his part in the goal, even if it was not worthy of an assist.

Liverpool were the much more attacking side and on any other day, either of Salah or Mané might have recorded some attacking returns. Their underlying numbers certainly suggest they still have something to offer, even if they were outshone by Eden Hazard‘s (£10.7m) hat-trick later in the day. Manager Jurgen Klopp admitted that the scoreline was not a fair reflection of the match and that his side could have scored more.

“The performance today, for me, was better than the result. The result is the most important and was perfect, winning here is unbelievably difficult and you can never expect that.” – Jurgen Klopp

James Milner (£5.6m) may well prove better value than his premium-priced colleagues at a time when Fantasy managers are contemplating reducing their spend on Liverpool options.

He played the same number of key passes in the match as Salah, is also on set pieces and is the designated penalty taker when he is on the pitch.

There was some uncertainty over Milner’s place in the side during pre-season, but he has now started every Premier League match so far. In that time he has set up two goals and scored one of his own. At Wembley, it was his corner which led to Georginio Wijnaldum‘s (£5.5m) headed goal although he was not credited with an assist.

Firmino now has two goals in his last two games but may be a doubt for Gameweek 6. He picked up an eye injury after Vertonghen caught him in the face with his hand. Further assessment is required for the Brazilian.

Despite conceding a late Erik Lamela (£6.4m) goal, Liverpool’s defence is still proving that they are still worth investing in, even if their fixtures look difficult.

Spurs offered little going forward and none of their three shots on target was considered to be a big chance. That means Liverpool remain the best side in the league for big chances allowed.

“Defending against the ball, we were brilliant. We caused Tottenham a lot of problems in these situations. They are so good and so tuned and do it so confidently to pass through the lines that you need to be outstandingly brave and ready to close these gaps. They are really big sometimes, so it’s really difficult. But we did that, and I was happy with the ball how we controlled the game.” – Jurgen Klopp

However, it does appear that paying upwards of £6.0m for Andrew Robertson may prove too much when options such as Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.0m) and Joe Gomez (£5.0m) are also available. The former continued to take direct free-kicks at Wembley and could easily start to find some returns soon. His owners can certainly consider themselves a little lucky that he was substituted before Lamela’s late goal and banked clean sheet points.

Fantasy managers interested in Liverpool should also make themselves aware of Klopp’s repeated suggestions of rotation. Saturday’s match saw just Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) come out of the side, with Naby Keita (£7.4m) coming in. But it’s PSG in the Champions League on Tuesday night and more changes are expected for Gameweek 6.

“I’m not sure if we can do it on Tuesday and then next Saturday again. We have to show that. Then we have to play against Paris Saint-Germain. They won yesterday without Neymar and Mbappe so they could rest players in the league, but that’s Tuesday and not today.” – Jurgen Klopp

As for Spurs, it was another sluggish display for Harry Kane (£12.5m). He had just two shots in the match as he continues to underperform when it comes to underlying numbers. Yet again, he dropped deep trying to win possession and simply does not look worth spending £12.5m of our FPL budgets on.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino was asked if Kane was being affected by playing in a two-man attack with Lucas Moura (£7.3m) but refused to give much of a substantial answer.

“I think I respect every single opinion, but for me, it’s a collective problem. I am not going to put the finger on some player. I am happy with all the players. The circumstances are the circumstance. I told you the challenge is massive this season. We need to give time to the players to get their best and of course to show our potential in time.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Spurs’ defence does not look particularly trustworthy either. They still have just one clean in 2018/19, look vulnerable on the counter-attack and down their right-flank especially. Michel Vorm (£5.0m) was somewhat at fault for Wijnaldum’s first-half goal and even though Pochettino refused to blame him for it, his decision making in key moments was poor. His presence in the Spurs goal reduces the appeal of defensive assets further with Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) out injured.

“That is a mistake from…if you ask me if it was his mistake, I think it wasn’t his mistake because maybe my vision is different. Was a complicated situation. If you analyse the action then maybe you put the focus on a different player. Michel was involved and the team, which is responsible and I am responsible but it wasn’t the problem with not getting the three points today, I am happy with his performance. It is not easy in four seasons to be in the shadow of Lloris.” – Mauricio Pochettino

At the very least, Pochettino is prepared to admit that his team is not performing at its best, although he would not attribute it entirely to the World Cup. No Premier League side had more players still present in Russia by the final weekend of the summer tournament.

“I don’t want now to complain about the World Cup. From the beginning, I told you it’s a massive challenge, the toughest season since we started. It’s a challenge to work with a team that arrived a few days before the start of the competition. But I’m not going to complain. I think because after three victories all was fantastic and now after two defeats, it’s not a disaster. The most important is to keep the balance. I am not worried I promise you. We are going to win a lot of games. I trust completely in my squad, not 100 per cent but 200 per cent. That is my feeling. I’ve not changed my feeling from one or two months ago.” – Mauricio Pochettino

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR XI (4-2-3-1): Vorm, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Dier (Wanyama 83′), Dembele (Lamela 59’), Winks (Son 73′), Eriksen, Lucas, Kane.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold (Matip 90′), Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Keita (Sturridge 83′), Milner, Salah, Firmino (Henderson 74′), Mane.

    4. Peter Ouch

  4. jia you
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Ings to Mitro done!
    Feels good not having to look at a Soton player in my team 😉

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I'm going to keep Ings and do Kamara to Mitrovic. Have exact funds!

      Will wait for remaining games to be played.

      1. jia you
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        He looks the best value striker now that the City game is out of the way!

    2. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Did you not want to wait and see how ings got on tomorrow?

      1. jia you
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Nah, much prefer Mitro over him!

    3. ChiefMockingBird
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Premature. Ings remains great value if he stays fit

  5. Gaffa914
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    I’m considering Lukaku and if Agueros injured, I will bring him in

    1. J T
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah I might pick him up for Firmino

    2. The Legend Squad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Same, Utd looking better

    3. Yome
      • 12 Years

      I have done Auba to Lukaku

    4. jia you
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Sold Auba for him last wee, he's looking great and hopefully MUN will improve

    5. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Also thinking this, worried about Mendy although he can be benched, also would like Richarlison in for Pedro.

  6. The Legend Squad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Anyone heavily relying on a Wolves clean sheet? Got Patricio and Bennett, 12 more points would be lovely.

    1. J T
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah Cmon bennet! Hope he starts first !

      1. The Legend Squad
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        1. Oven Glover
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          Dendoncker time

    2. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Lots of people which is why I need the CS wiped out #sorrynotsorry

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Just Rui, but yeah let's hope they stay solid, Burnley had an annoying habit of always grabbing a goal last season

    4. Kragbaek
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Patricio here. Would be lovely

    5. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Relying on Jiménez or Wally not turning up so I get Fraser off my bench.....

    6. Captain Fozzy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      ye on 73 with Wan Bissaka coming in for Mendy... 6 more points from Patricio and this would make for a cracking GW... currently my OR has jumped from 800k to 240k so decent WC

      1. Skogen89
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        On 81 points woth Dohorty and McCartey to go, decent wc

      2. Son is Rising
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Wife is on 75 with Patricio, Bennett and Doherty to go.

    7. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      With Mendy not playing - will get Bennett from the bench, and already have Patricio and Doherty in line up...so, yes! 😉

    8. NATSTER
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Hope Doherty to deliver some attacking points.

    9. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Patricio pen save and an assist. Not asking for much.

  7. Kragbaek
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Let's talk Mkhi

    Any comments on Mkhis performance the last 30 minutes yesterday?

    I'm really not concerned about his price dropping, as he will only become more of a differential. But, if he doesn't start soon, I'll have to get rid.

    Any thoughts?

    1. J T
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      He’s gone, that was his last chance for me. Rich Fraser Pedro all better options for less.

    2. S3
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Get rid....price already dropped by 0.1

    3. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Get rid - it's two games in a row now that Emery has started with the same front 4

    4. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Getting rid, can't have a player like this in my team that gets me two 1pters when he's fully fit.

    5. XabiAlonso
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Should've sold last week, if you don't sell this week then you must not like points

    6. Kragbaek
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Well, guys, you've given me something to think about.

      I think I'll sell before next GW, unless something happens or his price is about to drop another.

      I'm sad!

    7. Mr Q
      • 8 Years

      Did mkhi to dsilva last night already

  8. Bring back ole
    • 7 Years

    Maybe a bit early but wat would you do with this team for next week? Im thanking lukaku for aguero?

    Patricio
    Pva, mendy, alonso
    Mane, dsilva, hazard, Ghezzal
    Ings, lacazette, aguero

    Bench, hamer, awb, bennett, stephens

    1. Captain Fozzy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      perhaps... wait till after Wednesday though... Man Utd have midweek game so may get injured/rested.

      Aguero on the other hand, looks like a minor knock so could be rested midweek and then available for the game against Cardiff

      1. Bring back ole
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Thats a good point, iv ings and he cant play against liverpool next werk, plus i dont have a playing back up keeper and wolves are playing man united!

    2. Steiger
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      That's what I'm doing for next week anyway. I think now is the right time to get rid, and with Utd's plum upcoming fixtures, I think Lukaku is your man.

          Damn these drops and Bennett rose as well. You have Ings out as well next week_bit of a pickle.
          Hope Mendy's OK and Robbo gets the game then all is fine hopefully. Haven't seen Pog. in too many teams _Interesting.

  11. Mr. Jenkins
    • 10 Years

    Just logged in to see Ings red flag and got super exited for my Fraser points guaranteed to drop in from the bench. What a disappointment

    1. StevePeave
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Same but with king!

    2. jia you
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah, it's silly should have waited til after the game to flag him!

  12. StevePeave
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Chances of walcott or ings not playing? Got king on the bench, benched his last haul too...

    1. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Sorry but you don't deserve kings points benching him with a plum fixture.

      1. StevePeave
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        The blokes a troll!

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      You may aswell sell him for kamara if he is always on your bench

      1. StevePeave
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        I benched AWB too... bench has haf most my points this season!

      So again why hasnt he been flagged? Aguero has, so why hasnt Mendy?

    Trying not to kneejerk, but I want haz

      Getting Hazard is not kneejerk its common sense!

      1. PocketZola
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Yes but how do I fit him in?

        1. jia you
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          Make a transfer or two 🙂

    Bottomed:

    Got 2 FT (0.3m itb) and currently on:

    GK: Patricio; Steklenberg
    Def: TAA; Wan Bissaka; Tomkins; Vestergaard; Hadergjonaj
    Mid: Salah; B. Silva; L. Moura; Maddison; Walcott
    Fwd: Aguero; Aubameyang; Ings

    Thinking:

    Salah to Mane
    L. Moura to Hazard
    B. Silva to R. Fraser

    Or would you go wildcard and try strengthen that defence by downgrading Aubameyang too?

      I would wait on news about Aguero and decide then

    Did Ings not sign for Southampton for £20+ million? What's with him being flagged as unavailable??

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      him, Mane, VvD, Lovren and Clyne all ineligible vs parent club....

      Loan deal, with an obligation to buy at the end of the season. Bit weird, not sure what the point of it is.

    Do you prefer...

    Mitrovic & Fraser
    or...
    Ings & Richarlison

    1. The Baby-faced Assassin

      A

    2. FPLAdmiral
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      A is what I have, but intend to also squeeze Richarlison in also

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks guys.

        I can afford to Richarlison & Wilson/King rather than Ings. Would that change things??

        1. FPLAdmiral
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 days ago

          Still A for me

    Just looked on gargatron and if I did go with hazard over Mané/Salah this week I'd be in the top 1k! Ah well can't get them all right

    1. DAZZ
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      This, same for me mate. If this was gameweek 35 i'd be livid, but theres 8 months remaining, my first bad GW of the season, no drama

      1. Rash
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Not terrible for me.. I'm above average yet still got a red arrow.. Ings to play and AWB to come in do hopefully not too bad.

    2. Oven Glover
      • 9 Years

      Captain score had you swapped all C/VC 96. That’s 54 points more than my picks. Would be top 50 with those points 😆

      1. Rash
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        I'm the opposite 98 for captain 38 for vice

      1. Rash
        • 7 Years

        What are you on about?

    4. Twisted Saltergater

      Don't do it to yourself!

  21. The Baby-faced Assassin

    Being on a WC, is a spurs player a must win those next 4 fixtures? If so, who’s the man to have?

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Son could be interesting, can't believe he hasn't been given more leave though.

      I'm sure Kane can haul through those games. Moura also though how it works with Son, I don't know. Erik a definite option. I like Vorm as a pick and Vert as my defender of choice.

    *GGG CANELO SPOILER*

    I've rewatched it again now, and its a farce how Canelo has come away with that. Its a close fight i cant deny that, but no chance is it a majority in his favour, best case for Canelo, was a draw, i scored it 115-113 GGG.

    From 44 media scorecards they had it 28 Golovkin, 1 Draw, 15 Canelo. Its really sad that GGG's legacy will be tarnished, and everyone will look back to this moment. A draw, and a loss on GGG's record, in 2 fights you could heavily argue that GGG won both.

      1. DAZZ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        It's a joke, i feel so sorry for GGG. The

    12, 12, 4, 40, 4 (average: 14.4)
    These are my captaincy points so far!
    What would be an acceptable average for captaincy points?

    1. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I'd say double figures is decent..

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Any return would do

  24. Punty
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Currently at rank 10k and have 6 points coming from the bench + Walcott + Ings left to play, should rise some more in the coming days surely?

  25. Mind över Mata

    How does this sound?

    This week: Bilva (assuming he plays over 60 mins in the CL game) -> Fraser
    Next week: Firminio -> Lukaku

    1. polis
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Loads will change in 2 weeks, but they sound good in theory.

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Ha, almost certainly true!

  26. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Zaha's goal was great, I think i'll hold him.

    1. polis
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Palace's main man. Honestly can't understand why people who've picked him are shipping. Just hold for the season baring any major injury.

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Central to Palace. Great option

    3. jia you
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I'd be a little concerned that he'll lose his head and see red in coming GWs though!

    Would you wildcard this lot even though I have 2FT’s?

    Foster / hamer

    Mendy / Robertson / shaw / alonso / AWB

    salah / mkhi / Walcott / Hughes / billing

    Auba / aguero / ings

    I would do:
    Salah > hazard
    Ings > Mitrovic
    Auba > lukaku
    Walcott > richarlison
    Mkhi > mane
    Robertson > Doherty

    Plus maybe like change foster, Hughes but that’s a side note

    Exact money at the moment

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Liverpool v Soton makes it risky to remove Salah and Robbo

      The others look good though

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah it really does.

        I guess I could wait a week and go for a one week punt on a mkhi replacement perhaps.

  30. trepetl
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    OUT: Mkhi + Daniels
    IN: Pereyra + Shaw or Maddison + Holebas?

    1. polis
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Would rid of the two you've mentioned for sure. Either options look good, prefer B personally but much a muchness.
