Latest on Son fitness as Llorente secures double-figure haul

Tottenham’s attacking assets continue to offer the potential for differential material after their comeback win over Watford.

Meanwhile, Wolves took advantage of a woefully out of form West Ham side at Molineux.

These two matches are the focus of our latest Scout Notes article.

Spurs 2-1 Watford

Goals: Son Heung-min (£8.6m), Fernando Llorente (£5.6m) | Craig Cathcart (£4.5m)

Assists: Llorente, Danny Rose (£5.8m)

Son Heung-min (£8.6m) put himself back on the FPL radar in a big way on Wednesday night as his energetic display inspired a much-needed comeback win for Spurs. The South Korean had only returned to England a few days before Gameweek 24 after his country unexpectedly crashed out of the Asian Cup to Qatar in the quarter-finals. Mauricio Pochettino had revealed that Son would likely be involved against Watford but couldn’t confirm if that would be from the beginning or as a substitute – in the end, he was named in the starting XI.

Despite all the comments both from the player and the manager about him being fatigued, Son produced another exciting and energetic performance, recording more sprints than any of his colleagues during the match (17). One of these was key for his goal, allowing him to connect with a loose-ball from Fernando Llorente (£5.6m). The South Korean also had more shots on goal than any other player at Wembley, playing himself into the transfer plans of many ahead of the Double Gameweek 25 meeting with Newcastle. At the time of writing, Son is the most transferred-in player in the build-up to Saturday’s deadline.

“He showed energy and I am so happy with his performance, but more happy because he showed massive commitment with the team and that is so important to tell everyone, because the energy that he spent and the commitment that he showed I think is a very good point to reward him with a lot of praise or praise from the coaching staff of the club.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Pochettino admitted after the game that he had not intended to leave Son on the pitch for the full 90 minutes, explaining that the circumstances forced his hand as Spurs tried to get back into the game. There has been some concern that Son came out of the win with an injury ahead of Double Gameweek 25, but Pochettino has since clarified that the South Korean was merely fatigued, understandably. As for his chances of playing against Newcastle, it appears he will be involved one way or the other, depending on how well he recovers.

“For me, it was too much (Son getting 90 minutes). It wasn’t the plan to play with him for the full 90 minutes but how the result was, you know in that moment I talked with Jesus [Perez] and I said maybe we need to take a little bit of a risk to keep him playing. He finished very tired, with some cramp. We’re going to see if he can recover for the next game, if he’s ok maybe he’s going to be in the starting XI, if not on the bench. For sure if we need him, he’s going to help the team. That’s one circumstance more.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Starting up front alongside Son in a 3-5-2 system was striker Llorente, who had something of a mixed evening. He missed two gilt-edged sitters, directing one effort over the bar with his knee from close-range and heading another into the side-netting four yards from goal. His assist for Son’s goal came from his inability to bring the ball under control too.

However, it was the Spaniard who scored the winner, ensuring that the headlines would be about his late heroics rather than his earlier mistakes. The fact that Llorente had more efforts in the penalty box than any other player, also jointly topping the chance creation charts, suggest he will continue to have decent chances to score points if he can hold down his place. At £5.6m he offers the potential for excellent value too. While Harry Kane (£12.4m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m) are both out his chances of playing alongside Son in a front two still look good. Those aforementioned quotes about the South Korean still imply enough doubt over whether he can start, so Llorente currently looks in a decent position to lead the line against Newcastle too.

“Also so happy because Fernando worked so hard, working the last four games with Harry Kane out, he’s working so hard for the team, to help the team to win three points today is a massive thing. Always it builds the confidence in a striker and more when you are competing with Harry Kane, or behind Harry Kane, one of the best strikers in the world, always it’s difficult. Always you need time. But in all this time he’s been a fantastic professional and always was pushing and helping the team.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Meanwhile, it was a poor game for Christian Eriksen (£9.4m) on a statistical level. Typically a creative hub for Spurs, he did not play a single key pass in the match while all three of his shots were outside of the penalty box and off-target.

Drawing attention to himself was Danny Rose (£5.8m), starting for the second match in a row while Ben Davies (£5.6m) is out injured. He provided the assist for Llorente’s late winner, level with the Spaniard at the top of the chance creation table for the match. The Englishman supplemented that with two efforts on goal, one in the box.

There was also the encouragement for Spurs to have Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m) back in the starting line-up for the first time since Gameweek 22. He initially played in a central midfield trio with Eriksen and Harry Winks (£5.5m), before slotting in at right-back for 25 minutes in between Serge Aurier (£5.8m) being hooked off at half-time and Kieran Trippier (£6.1m) coming on. A return of Sissoko’s typically high level of hard work will be good for Spurs moving forward, although it was him who Trippier replaced in the 69th minute, presumably to manage his minutes since coming back from a knock.

Curiously, Hugo Lloris (£5.4m) continues to make more mistakes in goal, having committed a string of blunders since that fumble in the World Cup final. He left himself in no man’s land when coming for Jose Holebas‘ (£4.8m) first-half corner, allowing Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) an open net in which to head an opening goal. As the club captain, it seems unlikely that Pochettino will consider dropping Lloris, although Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) might be able to provide some competition given some decent displays in the cups this season.

Watford barely troubled Spurs’ goal outside of that 38th-minute opener, largely sitting back to defend at Wembley. Cathcart’s strike was the only effort on target the Hornets could muster, and they left the match with an expected goals score of just 0.46. That might tempt anyone with Brighton defensive options available to start them in Double Gameweek 25 when Javi Gracia’s men travel to the Amex Stadium.

As per usual, Watford lined up in a 4-4-2 system, with Gerard Deulofeu (£5.5m) and Troy Deeney (£6.0m) leading the line. There was a change in defence as Daryl Janmaat (£4.9m) came in for the injured Francisco Kiko Femenía (£4.2m), making his first start since Gameweek 20.

Defender Ben Wilmot (£4.0m) looked decent when he replaced Tom Cleverley (£5.0m), earning praise from Gracia. Cleverley’s departure was not injury-related, the midfielder simply tired according to the manager.

“Ben always plays well in my opinion. He is like a mature player. He is only 19 years old and he can play in different positions. Tom Cleverley was a little bit tired as the first half was very demanding. We wanted to be stronger in the middle, after the lateral crosses and defending set pieces. He was a good option in that moment when the game was very demanding. He is a very good player.” – Javi Gracia

Tottenham Hotspur XI (3-5-2): Lloris; Vertonghen (Lamela 79′), Sánchez, Alderweireld; Rose, Eriksen, Winks, Sissoko (Trippier 69′), Aurier (Moura 45′); Son, Llorente.

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster; Holebas, Cathcart, Mariappa, Janmaat; Pereyra, Capoue, Cleverley (Wilmot 66′), Hughes; Deeney, Deulofeu (Success 61′).

Wolves 3-0 West Ham

Goals: Romain Saïss (£4.2m), Raúl Jiménez x2 (£6.5m)

Assists: Joao Moutinho x2 (£5.1m), Diogo Jota (£6.0m)

Raúl Jiménez (£6.5m) demonstrated his excellent Fantasy value once again with a brace against West Ham on Tuesday night. His 12-point haul should come as no surprise as he had more shots in the opposition penalty area than any other player on the pitch, five more than Diogo Jota (£6.0m).

The Mexican has proved to be quite a consistent source of points since arriving in English football, netting his seventh and eighth goal of the campaign at Molineux. Jiménez has now been involved in 15 league goals in 2018/19, more than any of his colleagues. Crucially, he has never gone longer than three matches without recording a goal or an assist, his driest spell of the campaign between Gameweeks 2 and 4. At £6.5m that level of consistency is truly remarkable and makes Jiménez a very important asset for Wolves’ continuing run of strong fixtures.

“Raúl is doing a fantastic job which goes beyond the goals he scores. The way he plays, his combinations, the way he works, he doesn’t stop – he is always giving us our first reaction to losing the ball. He has to keep on going.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

Amid transfer interest ahead of Gameweek 24, Jota could manage only an assist against West Ham but was still a key player. Trading in his explosive goal threat from the Leicester game, the former Porto man was more of a creator this time around, only Joao Moutinho (£5.1m) fashioning more opportunities than him on the night. That is excellent news for Jota’s 2.5% ownership though, as it proves how versatile the player is when it comes to Fantasy returns, while he is still operating in the front pair at Wolves.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side completely dominated this 3-0 win over West Ham, registering 20 efforts on goal. Nine of those were on target, which was actually Wolves’ best tally in one match since being promoted from the Championship.

Much of their attacking player came from wide areas, where nearly a quarter of Fantasy managers were pleased to see Matt Doherty (£5.2m) restored to the side having been named on the bench against Leicester. The Irishman was his usual energetic self on the right, making more sprints than any of his colleagues in the first half. He was also unfortunate not to win a penalty in the opening 45 minutes when Arthur Masuaku (£4.3m) clattered into him in the box.

Returning to the left flank, Jonny (£4.3m) had the chance to put Wolves ahead in the first half after Jiménez’s perfectly delivered cross met him at the back post, but he was unable to convert. However, the Spaniard continues to offer plenty of threat on his side of the pitch.

“Sometimes you play well and don’t achieve. [Matt] Doherty and Jonny did well and had chances. It requires a lot of effort and a lot of heart to keep going up and down.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

The clean sheet that Wolves picked up on Tuesday night was their sixth of the campaign and their first one since Gameweek 17. However, that said more about West Ham than it did their hosts.

The Hammers were completely toothless in attack, mustering just four efforts on goal in the game, none in the box and none on target. Manuel Pellegrini’s team now looks a shadow of the side that won four matches in a row between Gameweek 14 and 17. They scored a total of 11 goals in that period, an average of 2.75 per game, but have now managed just one in their last three. The 3-0 defeat at Wolves was their third consecutive loss and was the worst possible result after they were embarrassed out of the FA Cup by League One strugglers AFC Wimbledon over the weekend.

Given how Pellegrini spoke about his side at the end of the game, we should expect there to be some changes in the West Ham side when they host Liverpool on Monday night. With the form they are in, Mohamed Salah‘s (£13.6m) captain credentials will be boosted despite his Gameweek 24 blank, while many will hold faith in their Liverpool defensive assets too.

“We were looking for a reaction after we lost against Wimbledon in the cup. We couldn’t do it and we have to review all we are doing, because something we are doing is bad. No shots on target and we conceded three goals, so it is impossible to play worse.” – Manuel Pellegrini

To rub salt in the wound, Marko Arnautovic (£6.9m) was taken off with an injury after what looked to be an innocuous challenge. He left Molineux on crutches and Manuel Pellegrini was not particularly positive about things. However, it must be pointed out that when Arnautovic was taken off, West Ham’s attacking threat hardly dropped as it had been pretty low at that point anyway.

“Not at this moment but I think it will not be an easy [good] injury. I hope that he doesn’t have any problems but he must have a medical examination tomorrow. It was a hard kick on his foot, we will see tomorrow. Yes (it is disappointing) and also because we have just 15 players that are playing too many games. We have no creative midfielder at the moment, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Wilshere, Nasri are all out so it is difficult for a team playing so many games with the same 15 players. Maybe they are feeling a little bit the number of games and we still have nine players injured.” – Manuel Pellegrini

Wolves XI (3-5-2): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Bennett; Jonny (Vinagre 90+2′), Moutinho (Gibbs-White 89′), Neves, Dendoncker, Doherty; Jota (Cavaleiro 89′), Jiménez.

West Ham United XI (4-4-2): Fabianski; Masuaku, Ogbonna, Diop, Zabaleta; Anderson, Rice, Noble (Carroll 68′), Snodgrass (Obiang 69′); Arnautovic (Chicharito 77′), Antonio.

    Is Sané actually more nailed than Sterling, given Mendy is returning and Mahrez's form has been woeful?

    1. Teomi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only pep knows, but I dont think sane has the same love from pep as sterling. Means he don’t have the same patience with sane doing a bad game as if sterling had one

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I tend to agree with this. I wouldn't think Pep would bring Mendy back for the Arsenal game; could be a bit risky.

      Hard to second guess pep but mendy has just come back and already picked up an injury. No chance he’ll start him right away...he’ll be eased in over next few weeks so think Sané is safe for double

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sane has 5 more attacking returns than Sterling since Mendy injured. This Mendy Sane thing is a myth

    Assuming Pogba is ok...

    A) Martial to Rich for a hit and bench Jota
    B) Martial to Rich for a hit and bench Jimenez
    C) Martial to Rich for a hit and bench Rashford
    D) Keep Martial first on bench

    If Pogba is out...

    1) Pogba to Rich for a hit
    2) Pogba to Son for a hit

    B) Stephens > Moutinho (3 Wolves)
    C) Digne > Keane
    D) Digne > Kolasinac

    Danilo good option to replace Digne? Already have Robertson, Doherty, WB and Bednarek. 2.3m itb

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A bit risky since he’s not nailed and they are leaky and have a goal keeper problem at the moment. I would suggest no.

      1. semiconductor

        Thanks a lot

    2. Teomi

      Danny rose if you look at the next gw is for me more apeiling option

      1. semiconductor

        Nailed?

      1. The Big Fella

        I've seen but I doubt Pep has and even if he had, he comes across as somebody who wouldn't care what the fans tweet

    3. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Think so, for short term. I went long term and did Digne > Kolasinac. Playing Robbo, Doh and AWB in defense this GW

      1. semiconductor
        • 9 Years

        Good call i guess

        Hazard is garbage

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Haven't owned him since GW14 but holding through all the blanks to sell before Huddersfield at home is questionable

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Would it make sense to lose value on him and sell in GW26 or BGW27? Might be worth the risk to bring in a DGW.

            Wouldn't sell for a hit though.

          2. palace ash
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            So, with Pep rotation, maybe Sterling/Sane won't score 4+ more than Hazard?

  13. FPL Puppy

    Lindelöf worth bringing in?
    As a Swede I miss the feeling having a fellow country man in my team, think the latest was Zlatan. 😛

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I've got him! Probably his biggest critic last year, but he's actually been good recently. That and the Scandinavian connection with OGS, thought he was worth 4.8m.

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I just don’t know who else to replace Digne with. I know many are keeping Digne, but I’ve had enough of him.
        Robertson, Wan-Bis and Doherty are my other defenders som Lindelöf would be a nice addition. 🙂

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          United's fixtures aren't great tbf, but he can be benched for the doubles. Jonny good value at 4.3m too.

          I'm likely to do Digne to TAA in GW26.

    2. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Well, the really great fixtures are gone but he is still a Swede! 🙂

      what can FPL do for me?

        That is what Ben and Jay must have asked themselves. 😉

    Assuming Pogba is injured (potentially also if he’s fit), what do you think of the following? I have the funds for both:

    Digne > Bednarek
    Pogba > Sané OR Son?

    Fab - Pat
    Doh - Digne* - Kiko - Luiz - AWB
    Salah - Pogba* - Cama - Haz - Rich
    Firm - Rash - Jimi

    No City at present, giving me nightmares.

    Off topic, but does anyone see civil unrest, riots and possible civil war in England or France or any other European city in the next 5 to 10 years ?

      Got to clean this up and lock I'm afraid.

      Your replies have taken this across the line for acceptable off topic talk I'm afraid. You started jumping into political / religious discussions, which we don't want here.

      Cheers for understanding.

    Aguero owned by only 15% in the top 10k. Might get him in now

      Got him last night, I'm gonna captain him, just need to decide wether to use TC.

      1. makaveli123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        TC a bit risky in my opinion. He's not playing 120 minutes, thats for sure.

      Do you know Sterling and Sane ownerships in top 10k

      King with Wilson out for a month?
      Llorente May continue with Son firing from every direction?

    You have any ideas what I could do with my next transfer?

    1. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Say adios to Digne

  22. DanLFC1
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard to Sterling or hold? One of these will be (c).
    Other issue is Digne.. ugh

    1. Ynwalfc
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would definitely bring in Sterling, Hazard is way out of form

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would make the move, or get sane if you don’t have him. Prefer him to sterling

    Etheridge
    VVD,Luiz,Pereira

      It's a solid team, just obviously no City cover, but you know that.

      1. Ynwalfc
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate, it’s the rotation of some of there players and there not keeping many clean sheets these days. I was tempted with Sane but he might only play one in two, same with Kun

  24. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If you're planning to FH in gw32...

    GW31 is gonna be hard to navigate if Wolves get through to R6 of the FA Cup and blank that week.

    PITA

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same goes for Crystal Palace, who have a good chance to advance...meaning a blank for Spurs as well in GW31

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It could go pear-shaped v quickly.

        I'd have to use every transfer to bring in Bournemouth and Leicester players + Fanderson just to get near a playing 11.

        But that could mean dumping better players along the way.

  25. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Worst GW of the season by some way! Digne --> Trippier and Hazard --> Son too much of a knee-jerk?

    Fabianski
    Robertson - Doherty - Digne*
    Salah - Hazard - Pogba - Sané - Camarasa
    Rashford - Firmino

    Button - AWB - Bednarek - Kamara [1FT + 1.1m ITB]

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Just remove Digne and avoid the hit

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, Pat. Trippier a worthy replacement?

    2. Ynwalfc
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No I like the moves. I did Eriksen to Son and Camarasa to Richarlison. You have a similar team to mine. Maybe do the same and play AWB instead of Digne

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Thing is Trippier didn't start the last game which worries me. I don't fancy City's defence at all.

        1. Ynwalfc
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Sorry maybe miss the first bit I put, I said to play AWB instead of Digne. Then do Camarasa to Richarlison and Hazard to Son. That gives you two more forwards plus Richarlison has a DGW

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Trippier has been awful this season I'd avoid

  26. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who are people’s lesser owned/ differential picks for this GW that they’re hoping get them the greens?

    Mine are Kun (not highly owned higher up the rankings), Jota, JWP and maybe David Luiz

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kevin De Bruyne

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nice pick! Hope it works out!

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jota haul would be juicy. Him and Doherty could easily have matched Jiminez v WH.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I have all 3!!

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son, Ings and Sterling

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        V nice.
        Jealous of the Son pick. I’m hoping to get him next week

  27. MartialMatas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hazard and Digne to Sane and a defender?

    Guaita
    Robertson VVD AWB
    Salah Hazard Pogba Richarlison
    Aguero Rashford Jimenez

    Fabianski Digne Puncheon Bennett

    2ft £0.3m

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks solid moves to me

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Those are good moves and a solid team all-round.

  28. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any other double players worth bringing in? (2FTs & 1.0m)

    Was thinking Andy>Richarlison

    Guaita
    Doherty, Robertson, Alonso, AWB
    Salah(c), Sane, Pogba
    Rashford, Jiminez, Firmino
    FAB, Hojb, Anderson, Digne

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Felipe to one of the silvas?

      1. JoeSoap
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, would have to be B Silva with one transfer and not as keen on him.

    2. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Digne and Alonso need to go as well

      1. JoeSoap
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed. Alonso definitely out next week unless other priorities arise.

    Hazard fenderson falling tonight

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, think I’m going to move early and get sane and son

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That's the same two players I brought in. Also wilson looks like he'll fall too.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Won't lose value on him even if he does

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I reckon hazard falls st least another 0.2 maybe even 0.3 before the start of gw27
