Scout Notes

Ings and Murray proving excellent value for money as FPL forwards

The final match of Gameweek 5 delivered a better spectacle than was perhaps expected, with four goals shared between Southampton and Brighton at St. Mary’s on Monday evening.

Danny Ings (£5.7m) scored his third goal in four starts, while Glenn Murray (£6.5m) – owned by only 2.1% of Fantasy Premier League managers – notched his fourth league strike of the season.

Budget midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.4m) scored his second goal in as many matches, while Shane Duffy (£4.5m) – who had more shots last season than any other FPL defender who failed to score – delivered a goal and an assist as Brighton fought back from 2-0 down to salvage a point.

Our final Scout Notes article of Gameweek 5 rounds up the main Fantasy talking points from the south coast.

Southampton 2-2 Brighton and Hove Albion

  • Goals: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.4m), Danny Ings (£5.7m) | Shane Duffy (£4.5m), Glenn Murray (£6.5m)
  • Assists: Anthony Knockaert (£5.5m), Shane Duffy

Ineligible to face his parent club Liverpool next weekend, Danny Ings signed off from the Premier League for a fortnight with a goal and a bonus point to keep the 7.7% of FPL managers who own the Saints forward relatively happy.

It could easily have been more, though. Ings was denied by Brighton blocks twice in the space of a minute during the first half and could, perhaps should, have collected an assist when strike partner Shane Long (£4.8m) poked Ings’ glorious through-ball wide of the goal later in the match.

Ings had more penalty box touches, efforts in the box and big chances than any other player on show at St. Mary’s and now trails only Callum Wilson (£6.3m) among FPL forwards for shots in the opposition area this season.

As mentioned, Ings will now be unavailable in Gameweek 6 and his new employers sit bottom of our Season Ticker for the next six matches, with encounters against Chelsea and Manchester City to come not long after the trip to Anfield next weekend.

Ings is proving difficult to beat for value, however. Wilson and Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.8m) are the only forwards who are returning more points per million spent (Ings is averaging 4.39 points per million) in FPL and he is one of only two strikers in the sub-£6.0m bracket – the other being Raul Jimenez (£5.5m) – who currently provides security of starts as well as a genuine goal threat.

The first half at St. Mary’s was an unremarkable affair lit up by a superb long-distance strike from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.4m), the budget midfielder scoring in his second successive league match and rewarding some of the 70,000+ FPL managers who drafted him in for Gameweek 5.

Brighton came into this fixture without a league win on the road in ten months and having lost both away matches this season to nil.

The Seagulls’ dismal showing in the first 45 minutes seemed to suggest that they were venturing down a well-worn path in submitting to a meek defeat, with Nathan Redmond (£5.4m) perhaps the stand-out player for the hosts in the opening exchanges: the former Norwich City winger created as many chances as the rest of his team-mates combined in this match.

Brighton came out of the traps quickest in the second 45 minutes though, with the match developing into an enjoyable end-to-end affair.

Ings’ spot-kick just after the hour-mark (a penalty the Saints’ striker won himself) seemed to have put the game to bed, but a Shane Duffy (£4.5m) header just two minutes later ensured a grandstand finish.

Duffy had 28 efforts on goal last season without scoring, and his erstwhile owners will have been left cursing their luck as the Irish centre-back registered his second strike of the season last night – those two goals having come from just three attempts.

Anthony Knockaert (£5.5m) provided the set-piece delivery for Duffy’s goal to record his third assist of the season: no FPL midfielder has more. Knockaert almost registered another assist when his low cross was turned onto the post by substitute Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£6.8m).

While Knockaert has already trebled the number of assists he picked up last year, his underlying figures haven’t dramatically improved: the former Leicester winger is creating a chance only once every 70 minutes.

Knockaert is, however, the beneficiary at set plays in the absence of Pascal Gross (£6.8m), who missed out with an ankle knock.

Chris Hughton provided an update on the injured German in his post-match press conference:

He’s okay. He got a kick in the last game, which has ended up a little bit more troublesome than what we thought.

It’s certainly nothing that’s going to be longer term. We’ll look over the next week what progress he makes. Certainly, it’s not one that’s going to keep him out for a number of games.

Yves Bissouma (£4.9m) in for Gross was the only line-up change made by either manager for this encounter, with Hughton sending his troops out in a 4-3-3/4-5-1.

Bissouma was sacrificed for Jurgen Locadia (£5.4m) in the final 15 minutes as Hughton switched to a 4-4-2 in a bid to rescue a point, and the pressure told in the final minute of normal time when Duffy was flattened by James Ward-Prowse (£5.3m) in the area.

With Gross sidelined, Murray resumed spot-kick duties and despatched the subsequent penalty for his fourth goal of the season: no FPL forward has scored more.

With Gross having missed from the spot a fortnight ago and Murray scoring from 12 yards in successive matches, the 35-year-old forward may well have wrestled penalty-taking duties back from the German schemer for the time being.

Speaking of Murray after the match, Hughton said:

We changed the penalty taker last season when Glenn missed a couple, and that’s the competition you want.

You’d like to think it’s not only two players that want to step up and take penalties. Being away from home and 2-1 down, you’re not going to get a cooler head than Glenn Murray.

We’re delighted he got us back in the game. It was the type of game where if Glenn gets the one good chance in front of goal, you’re confident he’ll put it away.

With Murray possibly back on penalties and Brighton sitting top of our Season Ticker from Gameweek 8 onwards, the veteran striker could come back into our thoughts as a mid-price forward option.

While he has only been presented with nine chances this season (half the number Ings has had), Murray’s goal conversion of 44.4% is the best among FPL forwards.

A small concern would be the imminent return to fitness of Florin Andone (£5.0m), who could eat into Murray’s minutes this season.

Hughton gave an update on Andone after the match:

He’s fit. It’s just managing him the best way we can. He’s done a fair bit of training of late, we just need to make sure he’s up to speed before he plays.

Hughton also revealed that Jose Izquierdo (£5.9m) was “close” to a return for the under-23’s this Thursday.

Neither defence looked particularly worthy of Fantasy investment last night: Southampton allowed Brighton three clear-cut opportunities, while the Seagulls conceded four big chances to their hosts – that’s as many as Wolves and Bournemouth, both of whom can offer defensive options in the £4.5m bracket, have conceded all season.

Southampton XI (4-4-2): McCarthy; Soares, Vestergaard, Hoedt, Bertrand; Elyounoussi (Ward-Prowse 76′), Hojbjerg, Lemina, Redmond; Long (Gabbiadini 76′) Ings (Davis 84′)

Brighton XI (4-5-1): Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Knockaert, Stephens, Propper, March (Jahanbakhsh 71′), Bissouma (Locadia 76′); Murray

  2. KingOllie
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    1,200 OR!

    Probably my best start in 4 years, so time to keep this going.

    Bilva + Ings -> Richarlison + Mitro with 2FT

    Ings is great value but has a blank n his fixtures are bad. Bilva just aint delivering FPL goods

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Are you not keen on Maddison?

      1. Van Djik-Head
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I I agree, Maddison if you haven't already got him. Mitro is a great pick

      2. KingOllie
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not overly, his points have been very fortunate. A ghost assist, a deflected goal and a penalty after Vardy had come off. But he does look a decent player, just think hes overhyped here.

        I think hes decent but not the calibre of Richarlison

        1. BeDreamin
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Totally agree, I would prefer Schurrle over him. But Richarlison is the best of the bunch.

        2. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Richarlison is overrated af as well imo.. might be a better footballer than Maddison but certainly won't be able to keep up that scoring run imo

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      yep perfect transfers imo

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good to me. Not keen on Maddison like the above

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison has so much potential, and as a No10 looks like he will get the points, just need to be patient with him

  3. moxonc
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Should I play...
    Walcott (ars)
    Or
    AWB (NEW)
    Already have Hennessey.
    Walcott likely to troll me?

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      awb

    2. Van Djik-Head
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      AWB

    3. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Walcott.
      I'd hedge my bet on the CP CS, and I fancy Walcott against his old club. He's anything but clinical but he's heavily involved in a positive attacking team against a colander defence

  4. Van Djik-Head
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I got drunk and took Aguero out... don't know if I regret it though:

    Thoughts??? (0.9 ITB & -4 this week)

    Foster / Fabianski

    Alonso - Mendy - D.Luiz - WB - Bennett

    Salah - Mane - Hazard - Maddison - Brooks

    Zaha - Mitro - Ings

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Tough to see where you have benefitted by selling tbh

      1. Van Djik-Head
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Aguero and Mkyi OUT

        Hazard and Mitro IN

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, assumed that, I mean more that it's not too difficult to get Aguero with most of the big guns you have all in one team

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      It's amazing how many people get drunk on here and make their transfers then...

      1. Van Djik-Head
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I remember it, just gave me the dutch courage!

      2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan

        I always think I'll learn from it...

    Thoughts on this team?

    Patricio

    Fraser-Hazard-Mane
    Lukaku-Wilson-Firmino

    Fabianksi, Cedric, Neves, Romeu

    0FT, 0.2 itb

    Thanks

  6. Jarnathan

    Not sure where all the love for Lukaku is coming from. Pogba is not far off and almost 4 million cheaper....

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

      He is Luka man, how can you not love him... #Beast

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hows Pogba not far off? All he has is pens

      1. AlissonBecker fell alone
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        And haircut.

      2. BeDreamin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Pogba is basically the same as Noble from 3 seasons back but £3m more expensive.

        1. Jarnathan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Not even close. Run the comparison tool again

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      0 goals and 0 assists from open play this season. 😉

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Which makes me question why I have Ramsey in my team. 😆

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

        Yes, that's true, but both players have the same number of goal attempts (15).

        Pogba had half of those in the box and 9 on target (the same as Lukaku). Shot accuracy is also the same.

        So perhaps Pogba has been unlucky?

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Goal attempts is a poor metric for Pogba, imo. His whole career he has been blasting moronic shots from 30 yards, encourage by 1 in 100 going in.

          Shots in the box can be interesting, but unlike Lukaku, I'd wager they come when the box is packed. He's also not a great finisher.

          8m or so is decent value if on pens, in isolation, but with so many mid-priced mids firing, not sure he's worth it.

    4. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pogba has 5 points in last 3, Lukaku has 20. Pogba has good underlying stats though

      1. Jarnathan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        That's the point that I was trying to raise - that the stats should be one of the main factors in buying a player. Not past points.

    5. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not getting him, haven't seen United play this season, haven't looked at the stats.

      But I remember the last time I captained Lukaku for a hat trick...

    6. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yes good point. Less spots in midfield I suppose with 1 LIV, 1 City, Haz, Fraser etc. hence the Luk love. But I agree Pog stats show he's due.

  7. moxonc
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Might be a stupid question but can we use multiple chips in 1 gameweek?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No, you can't. That includes the wildcard. 🙂

    2. Andy'81
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nope, one chip per GW.

    4. Miguel Sanchez

      no

  8. Carlton_Goal
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Any ideas on what to do here? Was thinking Arnie to Mitro before Arnie got a decent haul. 1FT 0.0 ITB. Thinking keep Pedro against West Ham and then get Richarlison next week?

    Hennessey
    Mendy - Alonso - Robertson - Holebas
    Salah - Hazard - Pedro - Fraser
    Arnie - Aguero

    Ryan - AWB - Hughes - Ings

    1. Farteta
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pedro - Richarlinson. Definite starter unlike Pedro and Arsenal's defence are awful (I'm an Arsenal fan).

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

        That's true, as a West Ham fan I know how terrible our defence is too haha. I guess Richarlison is more secure to play 90mins so might be the safer pick

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

    We getting any closer to establishing who this season's Butland/Heaton/Pope 4.5 GK will be?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Patricio

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Lol

    2. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hennessey, Fabianksi and Patricio all look good.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        This. Unfortunately, no Eliot-esque GK this season to pair them.up with.

    3. Tigers Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hennessey rotates well with Patricio

    4. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Lots of maybes, none of the 4.5s are exceptionally standout yet though.

      Patricio probably my favourite, lots of good things about him that are starting to come together now

  10. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Two decisions for me this week.
    1)Which one from Holebas,AWB,Kenedy i should bench?
    2)Save my ft or Walcott->Fraser/Richarlison/Maddison?

    Anyone having a go at CL fantasy this season?

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I am. Just to pass the time to the next GW.
      You gettinf Messi or Ron?

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        This is usually my tactic and then infill, but not feeling CR7 this year!

      2. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Think I’m gonna go with Messi. PSV at home looks appealing.

        Nice little template team here to start you off... http://www.goal.com/en-kw/news/fantasy-football-our-experts-starting-xi-for-the-2018-19/10fgasrvkq4031dt6kj7tq37ss

  13. irfanm66
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Pereyra or Schurrle ? which one is the best pick out of this two?

    1. SUPER 11
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pereyra

  14. Scholsey
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Richarlinson or Maddison? Everton got some horrible fixtures lined up!

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

      I've got Maddison since the start but have to admit all his three returns have been lucky to be honest.

      1. greghammer95
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Maddison is a weird one, his actual returns have been lucky but he's been unlucky in other instances not to score. I'd go Maddison, what about Moura, next four fixtures are awesome.

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

          Agree regarding Maddison.

  15. Net Gains
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Walcott and Tosun plus 2.2 ITB to who?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson & Son/D.Silva

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Alli could be a thing soon too

      2. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years

        This with Dilva.

  16. AFC49

    Any stand out changes needed to this team?

    Foster
    Robertson, Mendy, Alonso
    Salah, D Silva, Maddison, Fraser
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Wilson

    Fabianski, AWB, Pedro, Bednarek

    I have Ings, Aguero, Zaha since Ings is unavailable to play against Liverpool and has Chelsea the game after should I switch him to Jimenez? I currently have 0 in the bank

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Wolves then Chelsea I meant sorry

    I don’t get all this wolves love. Everyone abandoned ship after 2 weeks and now they squeak a 1-0 and are the GOATS.

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Wolves have 8 pts doing quite well, had over 20 shots against Everton could of scored more

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Everyone abandoning ship was inexplicable

      Not really..just that now they are showing defensive resolve which was not there in first weeks

      Compare Doherty and Alonso in members comparison tool and you will be amazed..trust me

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Anyone sticking with Ings?

      2. Evla5000
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I did Doherty to Alonso for -4 after GW3.. now I want Doherty back but guess his finishing isnt the greatest.

      Who is saying they are the GOAT? Cheap options from a team that looks like they could well finish top half. Value.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Lol

    5. SADIO SANÉ

      I doubled-Wolves defence this week, the best of the 4.5 defender teams and they also happen to play wing-backs capable of attacking points - probably going to triple-up

      People made early judgements that were simply wrong. They didn't "squeak" a 1-0 at all, that was one of the most dominant 1-0s you'll ever see. They have some great options.

    Mods/Members.

    If signing up to the members area is there any way to get the actual data out of it? Just so I can do my own analysis rather than use the tools that are there. Genuine personal preference, nothing wrong with what's there.

    I've checked FAQ's etc. But can't find any information.

    Thanks all.

    Currently sat at 3k overall, best start i've literally ever had in FPL...

    Am I G2G for the next GW? (if Aguero/Mendy are ok)

    Hennessy

    Robertson - Alonso - Mendy - AWB

    Salah - Hazard (c) - Fraser - Maddison

    Mitro - Aguero

    Patricio / Doherty / Billing / Danny Ings

    1. AFC49
      • 10 Years

      Looking good

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Dings would usually play but obviously he's red-flagged against Liverpool...

  21. Bambi
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    2FT for this lot

    Patricio
    Mendy Alonso Robertson
    Gray Salah Hazard Pedro
    Mitrovic Aranutovic Aguero

    WB, stephens, Peltier

    Best to wait for injury news for mendy/aguero/arnie?

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, wait and see

  22. Evla5000
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Is Richarlison's price blocked from going up or down this week?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      yep

      1. Evla5000
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Helps I guess and do Theo to Maddison this week and Pedro to Rich next...

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          yeah, it's handy - I'll probably do Pedro -> Rich next week unless Pedro hauls

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            nor if Willian gets injured

            1. Evla5000
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              thank if you still out there

  23. BeDreamin
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Is Ings > Vardy worth a 4point hit?

    Also I'm about to lose 0.1 on Walcott tonight, I'm bringing in Richarlison for him next week but is it worth a 4point hit to save the money?

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Who would you play instead of Ings if you don't do first t/fer?

      1. BeDreamin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        AWB or Holebas

        1. iCon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Decent cover; if it were me I'd hold Ings and just sort Walcott out and save the -4

  24. All For One
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Salah for captain this week?

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Southampton look poor defensively without ings conceded twice when he went off

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      unless he gets a knock or something tonight, yes

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        cool can't wait for PSG vs Liverpool

    3. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah.

  25. Catastrophe

    5 years, 6 months ago

    Any suggestions for this WC Team chaps? 0.1 ITB

    Alisson
    Alonso, Robertson, Mendy
    Hazard, Mane, Fraser, Dilva, Richarlison
    Aguero, Mitrovic

    (Stek, Joselu, AWB, Bennett)

    A) G2G
    B) Aguero -> Lukaku (then Alisson -> Ederson?)
    C) Robertson -> TAA/Gomez (allows Joselu, Bennett -> Ings, Doherty)

    Cheers.

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      D) Downgrade Alisson to a 4.5 and upgrade Joselu?

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Hennessey & Patricio a good shout?

        1. iCon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yep, one or the other for me, but if you want rotation, go for it

  26. adam28193
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I got Ings on a WC but I got my points and now I might do Pedro and Ings > Fraser and Mitrovic -4. Thoughts?

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Similar to above; it really depends who you would play instead of Ings this week if you kept him

      1. adam28193
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I have AWB and Holebas but I've lost faith in holebas already

        1. iCon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Plenty of cover...i'd just do Pedro to Fraser and then reassess next week. Ings has done well so far

    Can I have some feedback on this WC team please:

    Patricio
    Mendy / Shaw / Alonso
    Hazard / Salah / Richarlison / Maddison
    Wilson / Zaha / Aguero

    Subs: Hamer / WAN / Bennet / Cameras

  29. AFC49

    Fabianski > Hennessey (-4)?

    Or is it never worth it for GK's

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not for a -4
