Scout Notes

West Ham options continue to combine form and fixtures

West Ham attacking assets are still offering great value after their latest win.

We are finishing our round-up of Gameweek 17 by looking at three more matches.

That includes the Hammers win at Fulham, Watford’s 3-2 victory over Cardiff and Newcastle’s away-day success at Huddersfield.

Fulham 0-2 West Ham United

Goals: Robert Snodgrass (£5.4m), Michail Antonio (£6.8m)

Assists: Felipe Anderson (£7.4m), Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.4m)

West Ham’s attacking assets continue to offer great value as their run of form and fixtures goes on. Fulham were the latest team to suffer defeat at the hands of the Hammers, who have now won four on the spin. All three of the players who have received Fantasy attention in recent weeks picked up points at Craven Cottage on Saturday evening and should remain on the radars of those who don’t have West Ham coverage. They host a Watford side with just one clean sheet on the road this season in Gameweek 18.

Felipe Anderson (£7.3m) finally looks like the Payet replacement West Ham have been crying out for since the Frenchman returned to his home country. Once again, he was both a goal threat and creative hub for the Hammers and his owners might even be disappointed he managed nothing more than an assist against Fulham. With Marko Arnautovic (£6.9m) out injured he is slowly assuming the talisman role in his absence, involved in three of West Han’s last eight Premier League goals (37.5%).

“For Felipe it was important for him to know the Premier League and in every game he is learning a bit more. He must continue improving because he is a top player, in the last four games he has been decisive and I hope that he will continue.” – Manuel Pellegrini

Robert Snodgrass (£5.4m) continues to be the most creative asset for West Ham, that fact alone enough to consider including him in our squads. However, he now has two goals in his last two matches after firing the Hammers into a first-half lead against Fulham.

“He scored a beautiful goal, he gives me a lot of trust in him and what he can do.” – Manuel Pellegrini

Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.4m) still looks like the most assured of a start out of West Ham’s strikers, and he continues to register points, getting an assist on Saturday. The only thing that might count against him over the Christmas period is the phased return of Andy Carroll (£5.4m), who replaced him. It seems quite likely that the Englishman will start ahead of him at least once between now and the new year.

Also presenting himself as an alternative option among West Ham options was Michail Antonio (£6.8m), who was actually deployed alongside Chicharito in a 4-4-2 system. The midfielder scored the second goal of the game, although he was given virtually all the time in the world to stick it away. It was also Antonio’s only effort of the match so he may need to show some more consistency before being able to compete with Anderson, Snodgrass and Chicharito Fantasy-wise.

Lukasz Fabianski (£4.6m) owners were finally delighted to see him get a clean sheet in a favourable fixture. As usual, he added to his round score by making four saves and accruing two bonus for a nine-point haul. However, it might say more about Fulham’s attack than West Ham’s defence. The Hammers have seriously struggled to keep sides out this season, but they went up against a Cottagers outfit now with the lowest goal conversion rate in the league over the last four Gameweeks. That worrying stat has caused some managers to lose patience with Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.8m) for the second time in 2018/19. However, that’s not for want of trying, with Fulham joint-sixth for shots on target in that time period, level even with Tottenham. The Cottagers also finished Saturday’s encounter with a higher expected goals tally than the visitors.

Mark Noble (£4.9m) was substituted with a bit of a limp in the second half but Manuel Pellegrini played down any injury fears in his post-match press conference.

“No, it was because of his yellow card, I think it was a risk for him to continue when Fulham was trying to plat more attacking. At that moment I thought it was right to change him for Obiang and I think Pedro did really well.” – Manuel Pellegrini

The manner in which Fulham conceded both goals is further proof that Claudio Ranieri has plenty of work to do at the back. It was simply too easy for West Ham to find the net, which bodes well for attacking players of Newcastle, Wolves, Huddersfield and Arsenal, their next four opponents. Ranieri went with the same back-four that shipped four goals against Manchester United, but changed it at half-time. He replaced centre-back Tim Ream (£4.2m) with right-back Cyrus Christie (£4.2m) tucking Denis Odoi (£4.4m) back into the middle with Alfie Mawson (£4.8m).

The frustrating thing for those holding attacking Fulham assets is that for all their offensive work, the defensive problems are holding the team back as a whole. The Cottagers were on top of the match for the first 15 minutes and should have gone ahead themselves, but their confidence was knocked as soon as Snodgrass scored, and the game felt over as a contest when Antonio doubled West Ham’s lead in the 29th minute.

“I’m disappointed with the goals conceded but also when we miss a chance. We shoot at goal 16 times, 16 times and then we must be more effective. They create two counters and score, we create more but we didn’t score. I can say nothing today because they tried to do their best.” – Claudio Ranieri

Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Rico; Bryan, Ream (Christie 45′), Mawson, Odoi; Seri (Johansen 61′), Chambers; Schürrle (Kebano 77′), Kamara, Cairney; Mitrović.

West Ham XI (4-4-2): Fabianski; Masuaku, Diop, Balbuena, Zabaleta; F Anderson, Rice, Noble (Obiang 62′), Snodgrass; Chicharito (Carroll 73′), Antonio (Diangana 85′).

Watford 3-2 Cardiff City

Goals: Gerard Deulofeu (£5.4m), Jose Holebas (£4.7m), Domingos Quina (£4.4m) | Junior Hoilett (£5.0m), Bobby Reid (£5.2m)

Assists: Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.9m), Deulofeu, Ken Sema (£4.6m) | Victor Camarasa (£4.6m)

Cardiff City proved themselves once again as potential whipping boys in away fixtures as they were beaten 3-2 by Watford. The Bluebirds have now averaged 2.25 goals conceded per away match in 2018/19, with only Burnley and Fulham worse in that department. Their next two trips are to Crystal Palace and Leicester City, boosting the strength of the assets on offer at those two clubs.

After going four Gameweeks without an attacking return, Gerard Deulofeu (£5.4m) finally got his first double-figure haul of the season. Coming back into the starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 14, he managed a goal and an assist operating as a centre-forward next to Troy Deeney (£5.8m). However, trusting that he will keep his place over Christmas will be difficult to do given that he has largely swapped in and out of the side in recent weeks. Isaac Success (£4.6m) was the player to miss out this time around, his second benching in five Gameweeks.

“(Deulofeu) has the quality we have seen. He scored an amazing goal. He can play in different positions and play well in all of them. I thought it was good game for him [to start] because we needed to overcome tight markers and we needed that mobility, to play with one touch and move. He is good at doing that.” – Javi Gracia

Owners of Roberto Pereyra (£6.2m) can consider themselves very unlucky not to have pulled in attacking returns. He had more shots on target than any other player at Vicarage Road, but was unable to convert any of them. With West Ham, Newcastle and Bournemouth three of Watford’s next four opponents, there is probably some value in holding Pereyra.

Midfielder Domingos Quina (£4.4m) has now started the last two matches in a row and scored his first Premier League goal against Cardiff. He is one worth tracking the minutes of going forward.

“We have a young player who is showing his level. I don’t know many things about his past but he’s with us and I know what he is able to do. I know his present his good and his future is much better. He’s helping the team as we have Capoue suspended and Cleverley is coming back.” – Javi Gracia

Such are Watford’s defensive frailties that they became the first team to concede two goals to Cardiff City at home this season. Coming into Gameweek 17, the Bluebirds had found the net just three times on their travels in 2018/19, the worst in the league. They nearly doubled that tally against the Hornets and could have easily levelled things up in the closing stages in which they gave a spirited performance. That fact probably counts against options such as Jose Holebas (£4.7m), even though he did score in the win. It was his first attacking return since Gameweek 12, with no clean sheet recorded in that time.

Victor Camarasa (£4.6m) rewarded his patient owners with his first attacking return since Gameweek 9. The Spaniard has been playing on the right of attacking midfield of late, but finally set up another goal after returning to his more natural role in the middle.

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster; Holebas, Cathcart, Kabasele, Femenia; Pereyra, Quina, Doucouré, Sema (Success 77′); Deeney (Okaka 81′), Deulofeu (Cleverley 87′).

Cardiff City XI (4-1-4-1): Etheridge; Bennett (Peltier 59′), Bamba, Morrison, Ecuele Manga; Gunnarsson (Reid 78′); Murphy (Mendez-Laing 45′), Arter, Camarasa, Hoilett; Paterson.

Huddersfield Town 0-1 Newcastle United

Goals: Salomón Rondón (£5.8m)

Assists: Javier Manquillo (£4.3m)

Salomón Rondón (£5.8m) has truly established himself in the conversation over budget forwards after registering his third attacking return in a row. It was his goal that secured all three points for Newcastle at Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon, and since Gameweek 15 he has averaged seven points per game. No Premier League player has had more shots than him in the last four Gameweeks, which is why he will be highly fancied when Fulham come to St James’ Park in Gameweek 18. However, it is worth noting that it’s Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea in three of the next four after that.

Javier Manquillo (£4.3m) got the assist for Rondón’s latest goal but he is unlikely to become any sort of Fantasy asset long-term. His recent appearances have been deputising either for Paul Dummett (£4.4m) or DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m). It was the later who was missing at Huddersfield as he served a one-match suspension. With both first-choice full-backs available for Gameweek 18, Manquillo should be the one to drop out.

Rafael Benitez opted for a 3-5-1-1 formation once again, which incidentally matched up with the system used by Huddersfield boss David Wagner.

Christopher Schindler (£4.4m) and other Huddersfield defensive options had proved popular in the transfer market in the build-up to Gameweek 17, but new owners were not rewarded. They can probably feel a little unlucky as the Terriers actually had a higher expected goals score for the match than Newcastle. This encounter had been targetted as the most likely 0-0 of the weekend, and it nearly came to pass with both teams registering expected goals scores of below one.

Huddersfield defenders were also signed with a Gameweek 18 hosting of Southampton in mind, although the Saints already look a different prospect under new manager Ralph Hasenhüttl. However, the Gameweek 20 and 21 meetings with Fulham and Burnley could still provide defensive returns.

Huddersfield Town XI (3-5-1-1): Lössl; Kongolo (Sobhi 60′), Schindler, Zanka; Löwe (Durm 59′), Billing, Hogg (Mbenza 77′), Bacuna, Hadergjonaj; Pritchard; Depoitre.

Newcastle United XI (3-5-1-1): Dubravka; Clark, Lascelles, Schär; Kenedy (Dummett 89′), Atsu, Ki (Hayden 72′), Diamé, Manquillo; Pérez; Rondón (Ritchie 81′).

        Mainly worried about Hazard who looks to be picking up form. I originally swapped for Sane temporarily because of form/injuries and to avoid price drops but now can't justify taking Sane out.

        Tbf Everton have a nice sea of fixtures once they play Spurs so it's a solid shout. and then maybe bring Hazard in later for Kane if Kane doesn't start performing

        thanks 🙂

  5. Boo Ya Ka Sha

    How great would it be for United to bring in an attacking minded manager that'll have a nailed back 4, get Martial/Lingard/Pogba firing again, and maybe even rediscover Sanchez's old Arsenal form..

    1. BON
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No such thing as a nailed back 4 in modern football.

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

        Azpi Rudiger Luiz Alonso springs to mind

      2. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        What do you mean.. I'm thinking of 4 United defenders who'll play at least 13-16 games out of the remaining 18. Obviously injuries are playing a factor rn with Smalling/Shaw.

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah we will all buy them.. not

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'll get Sanchez for sure if he plays up top with Lukuku or right behind him vesus as LWB as Mou preferred.

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

          I reckon Sanchez is burnt out, one of very few who can't blame his form on Mourinho

          1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I see your point. But I'm hoping the dip in form was mostly related to the defensive responsibilities forced on an attacking player. I mean even CR7 and Hazard had issues with Mou's tactics he enforced on them. Also Sanchez is only 29, would hope he has more fuel to burn. Then again that's when Rooney's legs starting to give way.

  6. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is it time to actually target utd? They won't keep CS with Jose out (my hunch) given their quality available.. get players Vs them looking good?

    1. BON
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No, that's a poor way to burn transfers.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Good man. Here I was thinking my FT sorted till new year 😀

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      Stay away for now.

    3. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Noooo not at all. Wait and see, take notes. But don't take your eye off them.

    Is Shaw still injured? Considering Young as Bellerin replacement.

        Roll transfer and look to ditch Auba for Kane and I'd look at replacing Laporte for Digne.

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yes i will roll the transfer this week but I was asking for the long term in order to chase 90 points. One Idea is to bring Hazard for Sane after 2 weeks and other idea is to ditch 3rd striker for Kamara and go for 3-5-2 formation

    3. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years

      Auba and Brooks to Hazard and Ings (-4pts) this week and Yoshida to Dinge (FT) next week

      Or

      Save FT and Auba, Brooks and Yoshida to Ings, Hazard and Dinge (-4pts) next week.

              You'd burn a FT.

                as it stands...what would be your move here?

                  Is Kola available?
                  Do you want TAA long term?
                  Really need news on both.

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

                    want TAA long term but IF he gets back for New he has 2 hard fix after that...and assume Kola is fit.

                    1. TorresMagic™
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                      5 years, 3 months ago

                      Kola fit doesn't mean he plays with Monreal back.
                      Seems the answer is sell Kola given the long term plan.

        Keep Taa

      Laurent Blanc is one of the favourites to take over at United until end of season. Ex United player and friends with SAF. He develops youth and plays attacking football. Obviously he’s French and would have a connection with Uniteds French speaking players.

    7. XABI 15
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Which do you prefer:

      1. Alli to Martial (defence of Keane balbuena doherty)
      2. Alli + Bellerin to Martial Robbo ( Balbuena Robbo Doherty) -4
      3. Bellerin to Robbo

        Depends on what's the plan with TAA.

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

          I’m not sure how long I can hold him

          Was thinking:

          TAA and Fraser >> Toby and Snoddy

          ??

            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Rather keep Fraser vs Brighton

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Fraser to Snoddy
        Not keen on selling Taa

        Nah, could even roll the transfer.

      2. Amey

        No

      3. Eze Really?

      Any update on the Kola injury situation?

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yup. Was an article on here yesterday with an Emery quote saying he’s fine.

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Sorry! Went back and re-read that quote and mixed it up with Kosc.

          “Sokratis is coming back and we will see how Mustafi and Kolasinac are, and it is good news Koscielny can be with us for the next matches.”

          Still wait and see.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years

            That's pretty kind of you mate 🙂
            Cheer's !!

      I'm not gonna bother saying it anymore. Just go ahead and click the confirm button now. City and Leicester play tonight. Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Bournemouth play tomorrow. You could get injuries to players already in your team, or they could end up playing 70+ minutes which means they likely won't feature at the weekend. So just go ahead and click confirm and stop asking us your questions until we know more information in a few hours time.

        So should I switch Sane to Hazard?

        😀

        1. BON
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah do it now

          If you are in the top 1.5 k then yes, if not no

        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        You can still make a preliminary decision even if you plan on waiting till Friday afternoon click confirm.

        It's a discussion forum, it doesn't kill you to say, "C looks like a good move but wait midweek games". Rather than copy pasting the same unhelpful, snarky response

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Well said mate

    12. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm soooo glad we got Hasenhuttl before United could jump him. For once, we actually went into someone fast enough.

        Alonso & Fraser/Martial

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          No No and No
          Martial my differential.
          Fraser cheap and reliable
          Alonso highest defensive scorer.
          Good try! Smile

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I won't sell Kane.
            So No option than

            1. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Maybe. Sick of Kane Troll

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Good option till Christmas IMO.
                After that going out & income Mo Salah 😉

                1. Eze Really?
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Yep

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Might need a hit unless you want to sell a 9m+ player.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Not worried and can wait until next Week.
          Thinking Kane should go

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

        Alonso down to Bednarek 3.9m might just about get you enough to upgrade Martial to Haz?

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

          Haz is 11m

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            He is right though 6.8 to 4.0 =2.9
            Martial 7.3 to Haz 11.0 2.7

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

              Who is right?

              1. Eze Really?
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Maybe I misunderstood Torres

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

              Its 3.7 unfortunately 😮

              1. Eze Really?
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Well done. If I doubt the call after being an idiot in Arithmetic then no chance now. Smile

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

            Combined with downgrading Patricio to Hamer/Steele to save another 0.5m might just get it over the line?

            Would need a hit though

        2. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Alonso great Martial will be Haz about as good as them

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Good call?

      4. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        If you want me to say Kane, I will say Kane 😉

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Thank you Soooooooooooo much

      5. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        So Kane to Wilson And Fraser to Haz?

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

          Thats the only option left, though getting rid of Fraser this week may not work

    14. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      What is the situation with Trippier\Aurier? is Aurier injured for long time?

    15. Cabra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Fun fact:
      If you remove alle penalty goals Kane (3) and Lukaku (0) has scored the same amount of goals. Add that Lukaku has play 300 odd minutes less than Kane.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Kane must GO!!!

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          You transfer him out first

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

        Fun fact...a hattrick of penalties scores EXACTLY the same points in FPL as a regular hattrick

        Keep Kane...hold a minute's silence for the tragic victims of #kanexit last Xmas

        1. BON
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          The point he's making is that Kane is worse from open play than Lukaku.

    16. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why would people be worried about Sane or Sterling with KDB coming back? He plays centrally unless I missed something?

      If anything it will create more opportunities for them on the wings...

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yes.
        Kdb 40 yard diagonal pass to Sane >> cross whipped >> Sterling tap in 😉

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

        KDB would replace B.Silva in the middle, and then Pep has the option of playing B.Silva on the wings which furthers the rotation pool between Sterling, Sane and Mahrez.

      3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, it’s about time Sané and Sterling kicks in fifth gear 😎
