Scout Notes

Consistent Sané can challenge Sterling for FPL popularity

The Manchester City midfield saga took another interesting turn as Everton were defeated 3-1 on Saturday lunch-time.

With the Christmas period looming large, Fantasy Premier League managers will be keeping a keen eye on Pep Guardiola’s rotation policy to identify the best options.

We’ve had a look at the so-called ‘Roulette’ in this latest Scout Notes article and all the other Fantasy talking points.

Manchester City 3-1 Everton

Goals: Gabriel Jesus x2 (£10.1m), Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) | Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.3m)

Assists: Leroy Sané x2 (£9.6m), Fernandinho (£5.4m) | Lucas Digne (£4.9m)

Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) gave his owners a rollercoaster of an afternoon as Manchester City ran out 3-1 winners over Everton. He was benched for the second time in the last three Gameweeks, but surprisingly made his first substitute’s appearance of the season in the 66th minute. That may have been of concern initially, with fears of a one-point cameo, but Sterling scored with his first touch, taking his goal tally for the season to nine and securing a six-point haul for Gameweek 17.

“It’s important for Raheem to score goals, but these young players can improve, that’s the only way they can move forward. For them, if it’s enough then it will not be enough.” – Pep Guardiola

Despite bailing his owners out, the fact that he missed out on the starting line-up again could begin to count against his appeal. With the festive fixtures coming at an increasing pace, and with reinforcements now present on the City bench, it seems highly unlikely that Sterling will play every match. Given that security of starts is a golden rule for many Fantasy managers over Christmas, some might eventually consider looking elsewhere. That said, he should start the Gameweek 18 visit of Crystal Palace to the Etihad Stadium given the 66 minutes of rest he was afforded against Everton, so his popularity should remain at a high level for now.

“Everyone deserves to play, everyone wants to play. I miss Raheem but everyone has to play. I try to move the squad so everyone is involved. If we win something this season it will be because of everyone’s efforts.” – Pep Guardiola

Leroy Sané (£9.6m) could be the one to turn to when looking for reliable Manchester City options as he strung together his fifth consecutive Premier League start. In that time, Sterling has been benched twice, which means the German has outscored him by 42 points to 33. In fact, Sané has attacking returns in all but one of his starts this season, demonstrating a remarkable consistency. Considering that he is exactly £2m cheaper than his English colleague, he does offer greater spending elsewhere. If he does get rested at all in the coming weeks, owning him over Sterling could potentially allow superior replacements coming off the bench too.

Given that he missed the opening portion of the campaign and has little competition for his place, Sané may play more minutes than Sterling over Christmas. The fact that he was withdrawn just after the hour-mark, with two assists under his belt, bodes well for his owners as it appears Guardiola was managing his minutes for the next league match.

“Today Leroy in the second half was more tired, the last game was so tough and he played incredible. I want to give confidence to Leroy after his two goals and a good performance, but I felt from the beginning he was a little bit more tired, but that’s normal, we’re demanding a lot from these guys.” – Pep Guardiola

Prior to the match, Guardiola bemoaned his lack of options in the squad. However, anyone would be hard-pressed to agree with his sentiments after Gameweek 17. Not only did he have sufficient personnel to name Sterling among the substitutes, Sergio Aguero (£11.2m) and Kevin de Bruyne (£9.7m) were also alongside him. The latter came on in the closing stages to present another FPL option during the festive period.

“We need everyone. Danilo and Sergio Aguero are coming back for other games – next Tuesday, there is another one. We need all the players. Sterling deserved to play because of Hoffenheim. But of course, we can improve and do better.” – Pep Guardiola

Aguero did not make it onto the pitch but should be involved again very soon. However, continuing on the theme of busy schedules and heavy rotation, the Argentinian will almost certainly share minutes with Gabriel Jesus (£10.1m) over Christmas. Aguero was the clear favourite earlier in the campaign but it was a man of the match performance from Jesus against Everton to stake his claim for a place in the side. He scored twice, adding to his two assists in City’s last five Premier League matches.

“Gabriel Jesus is so important. Strikers need to score goals. The difference today was that he scored as he was in better positions. It’s so good for him and our team. His performance was so valuable. He settled so well from the beginning – but it is much better his family is here and strikers need to score goals. He scored two nice goals that will be important for him.” – Pep Guardiola

“My confidence is back because my family is here with me. They help me a lot. It is easy for me because they are everything. I need my family in this moment.” – Gabriel Jesus

Interestingly, it was another outing in which Manchester City did not look particularly comfortable at the back. Dominic Calvert-Lewin‘s (£5.3m) second-half goal ensured that the defending champions are without a clean sheet in the Premier League since Gameweek 13. Five successive matches without a shut-out seriously call into question the value of investing in the Manchester City defence, especially with Christmas looming large. Premium goalkeeper Ederson (£5.8m) has struggled to justify his lofty price-tag of late while Aymeric Laporte (£6.1m) remains the only real nailed-on defender.

In the first-half especially, Everton were able to regularly hold possession in the final third with composure. It was remiscent of Bournemouth’s period of pressure at the Etihad in Gameweek 14 which led to their equaliser. When the Cherries pulled that off it was the first time that City had been troubled at home, but they are looking more vulnerable now with Everton now repeating the feat to a greater extent.

Lucas Digne (£4.9m) in particular caused Kyle Walker (£6.5m) problems in the first 45 minutes showing that he can be creative against even City. Most of the Frenchman’s owners had benched him, for obvious reasons, but his performance at the Etihad continues to prove the value he can offer. It was him who provided the assist for Calvert-Lewin’s goal and he could have had another if Richarlison (£7.1m) had his shooting boots early-on. Digne made a run around the back playing a great ball to the back post, where an approaching unmarked Richarlison blazed high and wide. The former Watford man really should have at least hit the target.

“Until they scored the first goal, the game was within what we expected and planned. They did not shoot once. The biggest chance until that moment was Richarlison’s chance, a big, big chance. After that, it changed. We knew they had the quality to command the match. We had to be almost perfect in our defensive organisation.” – Marco Silva

Richarlison could easily have left the match with two goals to his name had he been more accurate. He was deployed on the right of attacking midfield at the Etihad Stadium, Calvert-Lewin selected to lead the line, although the Brazilian was moved to the left after half-time. Subsequent to missing that first-half chance, Richarlison fired a great second-half chance over too when Everton hit their hosts on the counter-attack. While his spurned opportunities may have frustrated his owners, the fact that he was able to get in the right positions to take them on, even against Manchester City, bodes well for further attacking returns.

Theo Walcott (£6.2m) was the man who was left out to allow Calvert-Lewin into the side. Marco Silva went with a 3-4-3 formation for the first 55 minutes although he may be unlikely to use it too often in the future. Yerry Mina (£5.4m) seemed especially uncomfortable in his role, giving the ball away on several occasions as he attempted to play out from the back. City’s first goal originated from one of these mistakes.

Everton reverted to a 4-4-2 in the 56th minute, using Ademola Lookman (£5.1m) at right-back in Seamus Coleman‘s (£5.2m) place, putting Walcott on the right wing and pushing Richarlison up front alongside Calvert-Lewin.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Delph, Otamendi, Laporte, Walker; Güdogan, Fernandinho, B Silva; Sané (Sterling 66′), Jesus, Mahrez.

Everton XI (3-4-3): Pickford; Mina, Keane, Zouma; Digne, Gomes, Sigurdsson (Davies 80′), Coleman (Walcott 56′); Bernard (Lookman 56′), Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

      Yes I would. I’m considering doin Martial yo Snodgrass myself (see below)

      Just be glad for the clean sheet, many were doubting Palace would keep one with no Tomkins or Zaha.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        They thought Palace would struggle defensively without Zaha? 😀

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Saw it mentioned by some over the last week, obviously referring more to Tomkins but i guess people were thinking Palace would have a lot less possession with no Zaha. I had faith in AWB.

  3. Ajaxeeding

    What is likelihood that Martial Ian fit next game? Should I do Martial to Snodgrass today ahead of the price rise?

    2 FTs and 0.7 ITB
    Fabianski
    Robertson - Alonso - Doherty
    F. Anderson - Hazard - Fraser - Billing
    Aubameyang - Mitrovic - Kane

    Bench: Hamer; Digne - AWB - Martial

    Martial or FAnderson?

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Anderson easily.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Anderson

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Anderson today.

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Anderson, albeit even with a poor performance today

    5. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Martial soon as confirmed fit.

    6. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Anderson

    7. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      For what? I’m considering getting rid of Martial for Snodgrass.

    8. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      both have nice fixtures next few but anderson coz nailedness

    9. Osman
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I would wait for an injury update, Their fixtures are getting easier

    10. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      2 GWs from now, the consensus you'll most likely get here is Martial. The same Anderson fans will switch when Martial returns to full fitness and is banging in those goals again over the easy fixtures between now and the DGWs period, when you'll most likely play your second wildcard anyway

      Check the form part of the FPL site. That's pretty much a representative of the voice of the crowd here in comments. As form shifts, opinions shift

  5. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    A) Keep Kane? Auba and Jiminez my other strikers...

    B) I've got Fanderson, should I do Brooks to Snoddy?

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Similar Q to mine below! I’m thinking - yes!

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A) Keep. Monitor Sergio
      B) Yes

      1. Balotellitubbies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        This

  6. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So I’m thinking - TAA & Brooks > Digne & Snodgrass (exact funds).

    Gives me:
    Fab
    Luiz - Doherty - Kola - Digne (Peltier)
    Sterling - Sané - Son - Anderson - Snodgrass
    Kane - Auba - Jiminez

    Do it?!! Cheers all

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’d like Hazard in there but still great without 🙂

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers Zico. I agree Haz is def a fear factor but can’t have them all! Who would you downgrade to get him out of interest?

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good but risky to do now. Few games + mid week cup round still to come.

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Fair point Kon. Will keep an eye on price changes and make a call on it over the weekend then. Cheers!

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      As for the transfer, yes. I was gonna out Snoddy in but wanted Chicha instead along with anderson.
      Good moves imo

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers mate. Going to see how Kane and Auba fair over next week and if slowing down will prob switch to Chica and get Haz in for a 3-5-2

    4. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wait. Someone can get injured tomorrow, TAA could be fit for next game etc.

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        True. Feel I need to move Brooks on regardless though and Evertons fixtures are awesome after spurs so tempting to switch from pool imo....??

  7. MysticMac17
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I have 2 FTs and I don't want to sell Laca before Burnley at home. 0 ITB

    Fabianski
    Robbo Doherty Balbuena Luiz
    Richarlison Sterling Sane
    Kane Auba Laca

    Subs: Gunnarrsson, McArthur, AWB.

    What would you do? Not sure I want to burn a transfer. Would ideally not want to start Doherty against Pool

    1. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Gunnarsson to Højbjerg or Quina all I can think of tbh

    2. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking something like Gunnarsson + Laca > Anderson Jimenez but probably not this week.

      Would just leave it despite losing the FT this week unless something comes up.

  8. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Snoddy or Chicha better option next 5GWs?
    It seems Snoddy is more nailed while one match without goals and Chicha might be changed by the other strikers?

    1. MysticMac17
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I would go with Snoddy, far better value

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      of the 2 snodd i think but not overly convinced still on the doubleup with anderson plus both will be rotated anyway during fixture congestion

    3. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Chica for me but its very close

    4. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years

      Snodgrass

  9. JasonG123

    Patricio to Leno for free? No other issues.

    1. MysticMac17
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes

    2. F4L

      how many CS have Arsenal kept this season? id advise against that move...

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Agree. Fab, Pickford or Lloris for me

        1. JasonG123
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Annoyingly, I already have 3 WHam players (one of which is Obiang!) so I can't get Fabianski. The others are too expensive.

    3. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Go Fab

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nah. Upgrade your 2nd keeper and rotate.

  10. Konstaapeli
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane's a bit of a troll, isn't he.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      yes, far more so than Hazard who constantly unjustly gets labelled as one

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      he is an allround striker which detriments his fpl ability in these type of games due to poch

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

    Lössl / Fabianski
    Robertson / Alonso / Doherty / Diop / AWB
    Sterling / Sane / Eriksen / Richarlison / Kenedy
    Kane / Rondon / Jimenez

    0,3£ ITB

            There enough “good” defenders in the 5.5 range. What would ya do with the extra 2mil?

      2. DARE TO BISCAN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Nonsense. Perfectly reasonable defence.

  12. Wild Rover

    Damn you Jesus, put a real spanner in the works of my Aguero plan

    1. Don Kloppeone

      5 years, 3 months ago

      Well it is his month to shine after all... give the guy a break

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      think yourself lucky i brought him and Sterling in this week.

    3. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He's got nothing on Kun. Jesus will play the cup games and come in from bench. Kun will be the main man as soon as he's fully fit. Twice the player and Pep know's it.

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        i take solace from the fact Pep was ranting at him at one point

        1. Rage Against The Raheem
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Pep just loves ranting at people lol, even from other teams, like with Redmond that time.

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Pep favoured Jesus for a while but his crapness and Aguero form made it a no brainer to go with Aguero. Jesus showing form and Aguero injury makes the waters a lot more muddy

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          hoping kun gets a sub appearance in the week followed by an hour v palace but its all guesswork. will swap to auba if it looks bad

      3. F4L
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        twice the player yes, but it wont stop Pep from just giving Kun 60-65 mins every game to protect him from any sort of injury issues, especially if Jesus is finding good form again

        1. Konstaapeli
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Think you're right about Kun only playing 60-70 minutes. Still could be much better than that troll sir Harold.

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      yeah was looking at a easy kun or auba swap to kun but have to sterling i think now and reluctantly lose siggy hmm

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        *kane or auba

    5. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Don't think Aguero has that many hauls in him any more.

    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Current team looks like this:

    0itb 1FT
    Fab
    Laporte, Luiz, Doherty
    Sterling, Sané, Fraser, Anderson
    Auba(C), Kane, Wilson
    (Hamer) (Schindler, AWB, Gunnarsson)

    Thinking of saving FT next GW and then using 2FT in GW19 to do:

    Laporte, Fraser > Robbo, Snoddy

    Obv tomorrow’s matches May change my thinking.

    Thoughts?
    Cheers!

    Anderson was always looking for Snoddy and give him a chance for a powerful strike.
    Snoddy > Chicha?

  16. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Considering Fraser,Kane > Hazard,Rashford. Would leave 0.6m to improve TAA to Luiz.

    1. tsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I did taa > Holebas before this gw started. Good for punt for a few weeks until the gws settle down

    2. TeamSteam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why would you want to sell Kane? Why would you want Rashford?

  17. tsm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Broke top 50k with few players to go, fingers crossed stays that way 🙂

  18. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I’m thinking of Salah and Bennett > Bellerin and Sterling for free.

    What do you reckon?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nah.

    2. tsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Here’s the rub will Aguero when back take pts from Sané/Sterling

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’m thinking a Salah haul tomorrow and you will be re thinking

  19. DV8R

      Ouch

  20. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Pick 1
    A) Diop
    Or
    B) Balbuena

      Flip a coin..

  21. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Just me who thinks this guys is a bit of a knob? X player didn't score this week so automatically a poor pick apparently..

    Not rocket Science that Kane and Spurs struggle when Eriksen isn't starting as Kane has to drop deeper to create for the team. Not to mention the fatigue factor after the midweek high.

      He makes a fair comment. He isn't lambasting Kane or his owners.

    2. internal error

      Also an issue when you play Dier and Sissoko as your CMs

      Don't most people on Twitter just chat rubbish anyway? That is why it is called twitter as it is full of twits twittering.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Burnley parked the bus and Spurs as a whole struggled, so can't just blame Kane. He was involved in the only goal of the game in the end. I have been calling Kane overpriced from before the season even began, but his return from this particular game wasn't bad.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Most fpl accounts chat absolute nonsense, I usually do the opposite of what they say. Has been working out well for me

    6. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

    Madness to consider Patricio -> Fabianski (-4)?

    Patricio has Liverpool at home next week and I imagine this would pay off in time. Thoughts?

    1. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not for a hit I think.

      Please help below thanks.

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

      The injury was the last straw. I’ve switched

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        did he injure seriously?

        1. Mind över Mata
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Not sure, but he is yellow flagged

  25. Gentle_Turks

    Wildcard, or wait?

    2. Mind över Mata

        Is that your team, or your WC team?

  28. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Well this Kane and Aubameyang rotating (c) isn't exactly working , mistake acknowledged, think i need Hazard back.

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think the Alvaro injury could be a significant boost for hazard

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        good call actually! way better playing with giroud....
