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.

    Ederson
    Luiz lovren schindler (awb doherty)
    Richar sane haz peryera anderson
    Auba kane (kamara)

    Suggest mover in here? Auba/kane peryera -4 to rashford/wilson sterling

  2. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    With only robbo and Bellerin to play tomorrow already moved on my transfers next week (I know it’s a bit soon but not had an amazing week so headloss forced my hand)

    henny + success > fab + chica (-4)

    How’s this looking for next gw?

    fab
    robbo - bellerin - doherty
    sterling(c) - sane - anderson - son - fraser
    kane - chica

    hamer - jiminez - pereira - awb

  3. 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, 1 FT

    Would it be too crazy change Eriksen (EVE a) to Snoddy and bank the cash? Snoddy (WAT h next) will be rising 0,2£ this week.. And no West Ham attack cover.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      looks a good move. or you could go Anderson

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

      I would not do that mate, would keep hold of Eriksen. Has great fixtures and got a goal today from the bench in a tight game.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen will start as he was benched today you'd think, wouldn't do that, no.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Owned 5.8% great differential too.

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

        Ok, maybe I save then 🙂

  4. windowview
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    If I wanted to lose Mitro for a -4 who would be a good replacement? I'm assuming Jimenez?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not this week he wouldn’t

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

      You might as well give him a few fixtures, the next 3 are still good.

    3. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ings is intriguing to me if he get on the field again. Rondon's another option worth considering I think. Wouldn't do it for -4 though.

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Rashford but Mitro dies have good fixtures.

    5. Dank Squid
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Give Mitro at least one more week. No "Ranieri effect" visible for the Fulham attack, at least yet, but a pen is all that might be needed. Jimenéz up against Pool, one of the toughest fixtures possible.

  5. Releasebreaks
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So, TAA for Lovren good move?

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

      Isn’t taa day to day? Would probably play only 1 of next 2 even if healthy imo

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

        what does this even mean ? could he be fit to play next weekend?

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

      I think there’s better options. Kola, digne, Doherty

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

        Digne and doherty have poor fixtures this week

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

    Tired of Ederson

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds like a band from the 90s

    2. Dank Squid
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Understandable. I haven´t seen any actual numbers, but I can imagine that Man City has a very poor ratio of goals conceded vs shots conceded - CS usually explained by their possession (opponents not getting many SOTs). Haven´t owned a City gk/defender since Mendy got injured, due to that reason.

  7. HD7

    For next 4/ 5 Gws ?

    Snoddy or Chicha
    Sterling or Salah

  8. pundit of punts

          Pool have best defence?
          The other 2 choices have bigger issues.
          Would look elsewhere tbh.

          1. @fpl_phenom

            Im looking at just benching TAA and upgrading my bench fodders to (Bennett > Luiz) & (WanBissaka > Alderweireld)

            Think I'll want TAA from GW22 onwards....

    B) Hazard
    C) Forget that, I'm getting both

    1. Gudjohnsen

      B

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      Probably both, probably none. It depends.

    3. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I've got both but deffo B. Will probably look to move Kane on if he doesn't show up against Everton.

    4. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I have both. I have some doubts over both, but hopefully the penalty gods will smile on them over the next couple weeks.

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

    TAA worth just benching him as hes back in 2 weeks or replace?

    was contemplating upgrading Bennet and WanBissaka to Luiz and Alderwiereld (by downgrading Lacazette to Chicharito) and just benching TAA until hes fit...

    Team below:

    Fabianski Button
    Kolasinac Taa Dohert Bennett WanB
    Salah Sane Hazard Torreira Obiang
    Lacazette Kane Jiminez

      Mine is up to 106.3, it is not as important as points but it still helps, especially if it means you can get the team you want instead of being 0.1 or 0.2 short which is annoying.

    Gabriel Jesus scoring today puts the cat amongst the Aguero pigeons. As he is now a viable option to rotate with Aguero.

      Always was a risk though.

      I´ll happily keep the Sané/Sterling double up, especially now when Kun and KDB are back. Kane might not be much better, going heavy on midfielders might be the way to go (so many good options - Sané, Sterling, Salah, Hazard, Rich, Felipe ...).

      They will be rotated plenty

    I bottled selling salah....

    but Surely hes worth keeping now with wolves and newcastle next?

    Team below:

    Fabianski Button
    Kolasinac Doherty TAA Bennett WanBissaka
    Salah Hazard Sane Torreira Obiang
    Lacazette Kane Jiminez

    Transfer thoughts:
    Lacazette > Chicharito
    Bennett > Luiz
    WanBissaka > Alderweireld

      you may as well keep

      as you'll want him back for gw22 anyway. And your team looks strong if you get Luiz

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

        would you agree with bringing in a spurs defender & a Chelsea defender and downgrading Lacazette to enable it?

        1. Dank Squid
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yes. I have a Chelsea defender but would also like a Spurs defender (or Lloris). Laca got decent returns so far even in games where he didn´t start, but it still might not be worth 9.6m.

          1. @fpl_phenom

            raging I brought him in to be honest... was 50/50 on him or chicharito .... Now if he starts and scores a brace tomorrow im sure ill be waxing lyrical about him

              Still not sure if they are up for it in away games, even with Emery at the helm, but the Fulham game (gw 8) gives he hope.

    How does this team look?

    Fabianski - Hamer
    Trippier - Digne - Lovren - AWB - Bennett
    Sterling - Sane - Richarlison - Anderson - Schneiderlin
    Kane - Aubameyang - Mitrovic

    Will switch Mitro to Wilson after 3 GWs and then to Jimenez after another 2 GWS.

    Need to take -4s over the next 2 GWs.

    Worth it?

    1. Numb

      Not sure Kane’s worth the money

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Keeping him.

        Should get a couple of double digit hauls in the next 4. Superb captain option vs BOU and CAR.

    2. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Losing Alonso in the process.

      Moves -

      Patricio + Alonso + TAA + Brooks ➡ Fabianski + Digne + Lovren + Richarlison

      Difficult to say whether transferring out Pat this GW is the best decision. He could rack up saves or he could let in loads. Fabianski the same (Watford are no mugs).

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Save FT then?

    Love the fact I'm going to beat my cup opponent who took his free hit

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

    For next 4-5 Gws ?

    Snoddy or Chicha
    Sterling or Salah

    1. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Snody sterling imo

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

        Think i will get Snoddy tonight. And choose Sterling or Salab just before next GW starts 🙂 (If no injuries)

      Depends how Salah does tomorrow.

    3. Dank Squid
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Chicha, if money isn´t an issue/you can´t find obvious upgrades elsewhere given the price difference.

      Yeah, keep an eye on Salah tomorrow. Sterling got his four 10+ returns (so far) while Kun was still fit, so he is definitely worth consideration now (KDB also back which is positive for him). Once again showed that he can get returns even with reduced minutes.

    Next gw, Which?

    A- auba peryera -4 to jimenez sterling
    B- kane peryera -4 to rashford/wilson sterling

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

      Would take Auba/Kane out for a hit.

      Kane better fixtures over next 3, but Auba got Burnley (take a hit to remove him before that is crazy)

        Wouldnt*

    Took a - 8 to get Sane and Son in for Xmas period and the fact games again midweek means I can absorb the - 8.

    Do u think I was right to get those two in??

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

      What does midweek have to do with it?

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

        The - 8 doesn't feel like a - 8 but like two - 4s over the 2 gws.
        Maybe that's just bull but that's just my opinion.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      They should get plenty of points. Still a bit early to get them in though.

  29. FDMS All Starz

    5 years, 3 months ago

    I will play WC in 2 weeks, so what would you do to this team? 1.6itb & 1FT

    Fab
    Bellerin-Kolasinac-Doherty
    Sterling-Sane-Hazard-Paterson
    Kane-Jiménez

    Subs: Steklenburg-Billings-Bednarek-Arnie

    Idea: Paterson & Arnie —> Chicharito & Fanderson

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

      Good idea 🙂

  30. NeverLucky

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Help please!

    Doherty / AWB / Van Dijk / Alonso
    Sterling / Sane / Anderson / Torreria
    Kane / Auba / Wilson

    I am worried overall with having no liverpool (Salah) or more so Hazard ownership.

    Thinking to do a Kane out for Chicharito and Torreria for Hazard so:

    Doherty / AWB / Van Dijk / Alonso
    Sterling / Sane / Anderson / Hazard
    Chic / Auba / Wilson

    Will i burn?
