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.

    Hi....looking for a defender up to 4.4m who is not wolves, hudds, palace or west ham.

    Is that person Cedric (pending fitness)

    Thanks

      I guess. The best options are from the clubs you ruled out.

      1. Flynny

        Yeah - I don't want to double up on them to.....

      Taylor is 4.4, Burnley's fixtures aren't too bad and surely they will start keeping clean sheets soon.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years

        Cheers....not sure Burnley are going to return to their defensive form of last season....

          You are probably right, not looking themselves this season, but they didn't get battered today. After Arsenal next week they have 3 home fixtures out of 4 (Everton, West Ham, Fulham) and the away game is Hudds.

          Nice unit! Think you will do well with that team. Best of luck mate!

            Thanks very much, and to you!

    One week punt, best striker under 8.5?

  5. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I dont know why but 4–4-2 has always been the most profitable tactic for me. I know that its the players who make the team but I gues it gives the balance. After it comes 3-4-3. 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 have never been my best somehow

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I’ve been 442 most always this season, 433 a few times and 5 at the back once due to an autosub

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

      Have you read the wgta article on the fallacy of the third striker? Think it’s because value is so much better at the back.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        No but I think I see the logic in it. Think its good to always have 4 creative Midfielders or wingers

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

          Especially if you can play them as defenders ;). Small price increases, relatively,in defenders makes a lot more difference than elsewhere.

  6. Dakers

    Don’t know why but can’t wrap my head around this... can someone explain please?

    New wildcard is given January 1st.
    Surely you should be able to make your 1st wildcard active on December 30th/31st, therefore - after the GW20 deadline, but before GW21?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      The first wildcard will be available from the start of the season until 29 Dec 14:00(GW20 deadline)

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      It's actually given when GW20 updates.

      1. Dakers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Ahhhh thanks.

  7. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Snoddy or Chicha?

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Unfair comparison. Would need to see the other two parts of both combos

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Fab
        Digne Robbo Alonso Belerin
        Salah Richa FAnderson Kenedy
        Kane Auba

        Subs: Button, Camarasa, Kenedy, Digne

        A) Kenedy to Snodgrass

        B) Salah Success to Sterling Chicha (4-3-3)

        1. Dakers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          A

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

      What’s the rest of the team? Would retain value where you’ve built it up (ie fwd or mid). Without that info i’d say snoddy because less competition for places.

      1. HD7

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

          I would move salah to sterling anyway myself but I’d say definitely get snodgrass and use that money somewhere else or just bank for now.

      2. HD7

        Fab

        B) Salah Success to Sterling Chicha (4-3-3)

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

      Depends on alternatives/the rest of your team

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Fab
        Digne Robbo Alonso Belerin
        Salah Richa FAnderson Kenedy
        Kane Auba

        Subs: Button, Camarasa, Kenedy, Digne

        A) Kenedy to Snodgrass

        B) Salah Success to Sterling Chicha (4-3-3)

  8. Maddamotha

    Eriksen > Sane? Own Kane and Sterling

    1. HD7
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think both will be good choices.

    Son has now had his rest. I think il sell Kane. Only 6 goals from open play this season. Son looks more dangerous and way cheaper

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Think that’s fairly good logic actually

      Esp until Son goes to Asia games in Jan

      1. MMN
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Could always have both. Who would you get in place of Kane?

          One of Wilson, Jimenez

  10. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Snodgrass & premium defender (Alonso currently)
    Or
    F Anderson & 4.7m (not much around there sadly)

    Is Snodgrass a trap?

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Don’t think so

      Done it for Hull in the past

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Right. Seems like a good punt until the new year. Don't think Lanzini is due back for awhile.

      definitely now. i typically use mine between gw3-7 but ever since we've been allowed to use the 2nd wc at any point in the 2nd half, now is a perfect time.

      Watch arsenal tomorrow, I think. You will want clarity on your big investments and there isn’t enough info at the moment I don’t think. I did mine last week and found it really tough choosing my heavy hitters. Good luck

    54 pt GW so far with Salah Robbo Laca & Kolasinac to go. TAA to Davies was nice. Missed out on 4 pts by going Rich over AWB but you cant win them all.

    Amazingly I am OR 1653 with 1100 total points. Can I crack the top 1K tomorrow? Would be nice but just chuffed how it's going at this stage

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Low 2000 OR so i aint too far behind. Have Salah, VVD, Alonso and Laca left with 44 points. you've done good

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I'm worried about Hazard Alonso and Aubameyang. I could end up plummeting again lol

    2. suddenorgan

      If Auba stays quiet then maybe

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Ya he's my big worry. I just hope Laca plays at this rate and keeps pace with him. Have AWB first sub so if he doesn't play it aint the end of the world.

  14. suddenorgan

    Considering Hojbjerg to Snodgrass and benching Jiminez next week.. or should I just dump Fraser instead?

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

      I know it seems premature but I think fraser is over. Sold him on coming into this week and i bought him 0.7 ago. Think bournemouth are tired and in a slump.

  15. MMN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    2 FT, 0m ITB. Any early thoughts? Will likely wait till late this week but looking at TAA out unless he's fit for the weekend.

    Ederson
    Alonso, Kola, Doherty
    Richa, Sane, Anderson, Son
    Auba, Kane, Wilson

    Hamer, Kiko, TAA, Hudson

      Also, is city cover essential? Can't seem to fit one in...

      1. @fpl_phenom

        city attacker looks essential yes

    2. HVT
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Neither
      Not Torreria
      Not Mitro

    Wc now or wait til cl draw and cup next week?

      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'd probably wait until after cup matches.
      If you're really sure you're gonna WC next GW, you can already do some transfers to catch prise rises/drops and then WC later in the week

    a. Siggy > Snoddy
    b. Son > Snoddy

    any of this two transfers worth it?

      Dont lose Son now he has had a rest

  21. Fpl Richie

    Laporte and Obiang to Snoddy and Digne for -4?

    I'm guessing nay...but just checking 🙂

    Laporte has been awful but palace next up.

    1. HVT
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I dunno for free is better but sometimes you have to move.
      Ideally after next week for me tho.

    2. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      no way and not for -4

    3. Fpl Richie

    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. Maybe get McArthur for someone else for a week and start them over Doherty? Any suggestions?

    1. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      kane to chica?

      mcarthur to anderson?

    2. yakirh

      If Laca play 90 mins in league cup I'm 100% selling him

    Anyone else have the same brain disease as me and thinking about bringing De Gea in?

    1. MysticMac17
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Log out and take a walk

    2. Rage Against The Raheem

      No mate, would get that disease checked out by a doctor if it is affecting your thinking like this.

        Check their xGC across the past four games! And the fixture list! And De Gea's points total last season!

          Check who they played outside Arsenal.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          He is an amazing keeper, one of the best shot stoppers in the world. I had him all of last season, did great for me. Man Utd defense just not looking good this season.

    3. yakirh
      • 8 Years

      Maybe just go Shaw, someone you can bench in some matches

      1. +
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        This is more about having to ditch Ryan and having a bit of money ITB. Fabianski probably the safer option, just think De Gea will outperform the other premium GKs over the next few months.

  24. Aubaaaaa
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Laporte out for?
    A. Kolasinac
    B. Young
    C. Davies
    D. Hold

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      hold

    2. yakirh
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Before Palace? Are you joking?

  25. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    A) Sterling Chicha
    B) Salah Snoddy (safest -nailed)
    C)Eriksen Sane (explosive but with rotations)

    Which combo is better for next 4-5 GWs?

    1. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      C

    2. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A

  26. yakirh

    Who will be better for christmas?
    Rashford or Martial?

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Rashers

    Kazaiah Sterling
    Spurs fans - how far is this kid away from first team? Reading some from positive things.

  28. The Left Duke #3

    Would love to do Gudmundsson to Snodgrass but think it;s best to wait as I have Laca too you may need to be moved on.

  29. @fpl_phenom

    what do we do with wolves assets v Liverpool... bench Jimenez and doherty ?? surely not ?.....

    1. yakirh
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Ideally bench both

    2. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Benching Doherty, starting Jiminez. Jiminez was class today and if Wolves turn up you would expect him to be involved
