Deeney forces rethink as Wildcard week worsens

Covering Watford’s two fixtures in Double Gameweek 35 became a lot harder after the events of Monday night.

There was a no-show from injured midfielder Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m), while Troy Deeney (£5.9m) will now miss the next three matches after being sent off.

We’ve got all the effects of Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Vicarage Road in this latest Scout Notes article.

Watford 0-1 Arsenal

Goals: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m)

Assists: None

Andre Gray (£5.9m) may receive some transfer attention in the build-up to Watford’s involvement in Double Gameweek 35. He now looks the most likely of the Hornets forward players to start both matches next week, which see them travel to Huddersfield and host Southampton.

That’s because Deeney is now suspended for three matches following an elbow to the head of Lucas Torreira (£4.7m) in the first half. His sending off was a truly devastating development for those on Wildcards in Double Gameweek 34, when it was already looking bleak anyway. Deeney was selected in 43.59% of Wildcard squads among the top 10,000 managers this week, only Raúl Jiménez (£6.9m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.7m) achieving more backing at that level. Those managers all now have at least one transfer booked in for Double Gameweek 35.

They are probably best holding off for a few days though just to get more information on the fallout. Watford manager Javi Gracia was adamant in his post-match press conference that the referee had made the wrong decision in sending Deeney off, and an appeal could potentially be forthcoming.

“I don’t agree but I respect the referee’s decision. It’s maybe a yellow card. He doesn’t have to explain to me anything. I could see the play. I could see the contact with his arm but never his elbow. I don’t understand that decision. I never saw an aggression in the movement. I don’t understand why the referee took that decision.” – Javi Gracia

Meanwhile, Deulofeu was not in the matchday squad after picking up an ankle injury in Watford’s FA Cup semi-final earlier this month.. He now has just two starts in the last four matches and is now even less likely to get significant game-time in the Double Gameweek. Obviously, we should wait and see what Gracia says in the coming days but for now the situation does not look too positive for him, furthering the claims that Gray is perhaps the best option to look at. In the last six Gameweeks, Deulofeu is the only Watford player to boast better minutes per chance than Gray.

Gracia initially diverted from his usual 4-4-2 formation to line the Hornets up in a 3-5-2. Daryl Janmaat (£4.9m) joined Christian Kabasele (£4.4m) and Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) in the back-three with Adam Masina (£4.3m) and Kiko Femenía (£4.2m) flanking central midfielders Will Hughes (£4.9m), Etienne Capoue (£4.8m) and Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.9m).

The latter has been considered as a viable option for investing in Watford’s upcoming pair of fixtures based on his security of starts and two goals in Double Gameweek 32. In the last six Gameweeks, he is also top for goal attempts, shots in the box and joint-top for efforts on target among Watford players. Also of encouragement for those looking to Doucouré in Double Gameweek 35, was that he took up some advanced positions in the early exchanges on Monday night. That ended as soon as Deeney was sent off and Gracia had to change shape, but it could be something he has the licence to do next week.

Ben Foster (£4.6m) was at the heart of the only goal of the game ahead of expected significant involvement in Double Gameweek 35 Bench Boost squads. Receiving a pass back from Kiko Femenía, he completely underestimated the pace of Aubameyang, who closed him down in time to block the goalkeeper’s clearance and direct it into the net. That obviously won’t inspire a huge amount of confidence in Foster owners, but he does have the benefit of playing goal-shy Huddersfield Town in the first of his Double Gameweek matches at least.

“I’ve gone to kick it and before I know it he’s bloody on me. To be fair, he’s absolutely rapid. I spoke to Bernd Leno at the end of the game and he said ‘it’s not your fault, he’s too quick’. I’m gutted for the lads, though.” – Ben Foster

Unai Emery pulled the rug from under the feet of Fantasy managers once again as he benched Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) for Monday night’s game. The Frenchman seemed the more likely of Arsenal’s senior strikers to start the match considering it was him who had his minutes managed against Napoli last Thursday, not Aubameyang. It was simply another example of how unpredictable Emery’s team selections are this season.

His decisions on the back-four ensured that Arsenal kept their first clean sheet away from home this season when their most popular defender was on the bench. Sead Kolasinac (£5.0m) was left among the substitutes, with Nacho Monreal (£5.4m) deployed at left-back. That meant Konstantinos Mavropanos (£4.7m) earned his first start of the season at centre-back alongside Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m), with Sokratis Papastathopoulous (£5.1m) suspended. Shkodran Mustafi (£5.4m) was used at right-back again and was arguably one of the better players on the field, top of clearances, block and interceptions among Arsenal players in the match.

Arsenal lost a little bit of control in the second half when Emery started to make changes. He went to a back-three of Monreal, Mustafi and Koscielny but in bringing on young midfielder Matteo Guendouzi (£4.4m) for Mavropanos only caused confusion at the back, which Watford thrived on. Emery then had to revert back to a four-man defence by bringing Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.4m) on for Aaron Ramsey (£7.1m).

“I didn’t do these decisions to get all the control I want. I changed to a 4-2-3-1 with Ainsley. The anxiety in our team was also because in the second half they can take some moments to score. We worked well on set pieces and second actions.” – Unai Emery

As for that clean sheet itself, Arsenal probably owe it to a combination of Deeney’s dismissal and an impressive performance from Bernd Leno (£4.9m). Watford were obviously limited to a certain extent in their captain’s absence and a man down but still fashioned chances, hence why Arsenal’s goalkeeper was called into action regularly. After a shaky start to life in north London, Leno has gone from strength-to-strength in recent weeks. He made some excellent saves from Cathcart and Capoue to earn huge praise from the local press and by the end of the evening, the Arsenal fans were chanting his name.

“(Leno) has confidence and helps us a lot. He is competitive with Cech, giving them two competitions. They are both giving us a lot in goal.” – Unai Emery

Emery will now be sweating on the fitness of Torreira after he had to come out of the game at half-time. It was reported after the match that he was feeling some pain in his groin and that he might miss the Europa League quarter-final second leg in Naples. To stress his contribution to the team, Torreira won the ball back 10 times at Vicarage Road, more than any of his team-mates, despite playing just 45 minutes.

“It was a very physical match today but we can respond well. Torreira is the same problem like Thursday. It’s the same problem as Thursday.” – Unai Emery

Watford XI (4-3-1-2): Foster; Masina (Sema 86′), Cathcart, Kabasele, Janmaat; Doucouré, Capoue, Kiko Femenía (Success 59′); Hughes; A Gray, Deeney.

Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Monreal, Koscielny, Mavropanos (Guendouzi 59′), Mustafi; Xhaka, Torreira (Özil 45′); Iwobi, Ramsey (Maitland-Niles 68′), Mkhitaryan; Aubameyang.

    Anyone going for mendy?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm not sorry for top post

    2. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No, but mostly because I already have Laporte.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Which one would you go for if you hadn't laporte?

        1. Naboo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I'd still go Laporte for safety

        2. teneighty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          If the rest of my defence was all sure starters I would not mind punting on Mendy.

    3. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Considering him, but worried about his minutes still, if he doesn't play against spurs then will be much more likely

      1. MASTER ROSHI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        spurs midweek

      2. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years

      Not for me, Pep seems to be managing his minutes.

  2. RamaJama

  3. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Camarasa and Deeney to:

    a) Hojbjerg + Wilson
    b) Redmond/Deulofeu + Ings

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Neither tbh

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        So play Deeney and Camarasa than. Cheers!

      B with deulo

  4. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Straw grasping: can Watford time their deeney appeal so that it's in process during the first dgw match and therefore not in force?

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Aware that this sort of thing happens in other sports, although I guess they have no incentive to do so.

  5. Lemongrab
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I find myself with 10m to replace Deeney. Who would you go for?

    A. Firmino
    B. Laca
    C. Rashford
    D. Gray

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years

      Thanks all

  11. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    8g 4a and 4 double digits at home. Surely Jimenez is triple captain material over Liverpool mids?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Problem is that every man and his dog will cap him so no real advantage there 🙁

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        but will they?

      2. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        If I decide to BB in 36 instead of 35. Jiminez or Aguero TC becomes a reality

      3. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        That's not a valid argument. The player with the highest points ceiling in any GW will be the top captain pick meaning you will almost always want to TC the most captained player. You still get more points than the captainers and the greater the haul the bigger the advantage against non TC:ers.

      4. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        It's actually irrelevant how many have captained him.

        1. teneighty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          My point exactly but with lesser words. 🙂

  12. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Current bench on BB is: Foster, Valery, Duffy and JWP.

    Would you transfer Duffy to a Watford defender like Kiko or double up on Liverpool defs with VVD and TAA even though they only have one game? Can't really se a Brighton CS against Spurs or Wolves.

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      if you can afford Pool def i'd go there, good fixtures here on in

      1. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Have enough funds to bring TAA in. Probably the sensible thing to do as it makes my team selection easier coming gameweeks.

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I'd go that for sure

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd invest in another Pool defender.

  13. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years

    Deeney to success then use the money to upgrade a no brainer?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      on BB soon? dunno about Success

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years

        Ye will use bb, gray better?

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          i'd guess at yes... any funds to go Wilson?

  14. kennethrhcp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    any help greatly appreciated!!!

    when to BB,

    A: This week: Ryan, Duffy, Dunk (wol/tot). 4th sub is Deeney but he can become Wilson (FUL) or Rashford (eve/MCI) if I BB

    B: next week: Ryan, Duffy, Dunk (NEW). 4th sub probably JWP (BOU)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I'm leaning that way aswell tbh!

        Might still do Deeney to Wilso for the Fulham match & bench JWP this week

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A. 3 match ban for deeney
      You should get rid anyway

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        oh I will, really shoulda just used the Bri lads in the Q

        A interesting

    3. #FPLBhuna

        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Bhuna, my boy... would you still pick A if I just said the Bri players?

        I'll prob do Deeney to Wilson this week anyway

  15. LC1
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Why is everyone talking about bringing in Ings?
    Just looked and he has played 120 mins in 8 games?

    Has he just returned from injury?

    Also, Long has scored 2 in his last 2 so surely he could cause some harm to Ings minutes?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He was fit weeks ago but could not feature vs liverpool

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        He played this week, and is not injured again

      2. LC1
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks for update!

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, just returned from injury. Think he's a good option for the DGW and for the jammy SOU fixtures the rest of the season. Doesn't steal to much of your budget, and SOU has improved and been good lately.

      1. LC1
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks for that mate. Tempted now.

  16. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Do you think mendy will play both vs utd and spurs?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nope - too very intense games

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        *two

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Depends upon the City lineup in CL

    3. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I doubt it - Zinchenko, Delph, Danilo etc could all step in if fit.

  17. as33
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Any1 keeping Vardy?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      o/ think he can still do well over the next couple of games with some more space.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nope ... can afford Kun or any other striker to replace him and he then has Arsenal, City & Chelsea in the last 3 games

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I was going to do Vardy to Jiménez, but I’ll be keeping him now as I’ve also got Deeney.

      1. as33
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        ive got Kun, Jimmy and Vardy

  18. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Triple Saints or double Watford? 5.9 ITB

    Ings or Gray for Deeney for -4pts?

    Ryan Foster
    Robbo Laporte Doherty Duffy Bednarek
    Doucoure Erik Sterling Mane Redmond
    Deeney Jim Kun

        Oh sorry, if youre asking Gray or Ingsy, probably Gray. Ing will probably only play one gane in DGW.

          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          But if Ings can stay fit and play most of the remaining games, ofc Ings over Gray.

            thanks mate.. you reckon with both games being away Saints will get results at both? Tough decision.. I guess its betwen Ings Long and Gray

    Jesus, a lot of jammy bench points from Redmond, Fraser, Wilson etc, I imagine, holy hell.

    Ings or Gray to replace ET?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ings

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ings long term gray short term

      Answer: gray

  21. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which of these moves would you make for dgw35? (1 FT in hand)

    Vardy->Lacazette
    Duffy->Kolasinac
    Deeney->Gray

    Lloris Foster
    Robertson Laporte TAA Duffy Valery
    Sterling Mane Eriksen Son Jota
    Vardy Jimenez Deeney

    0.9 itb

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      C

    2. Goodnight Kiwi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      So hard to tell what Arse players will play. Also wouldn't be moving Vardy on as he has WestHam.

      B or C, probably C for me

  22. Goodnight Kiwi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Would you rather bring in (a)Ings or (b)Gray? Thanks

    1. Ëð
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Gray

  23. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Deeney to Wilson, Ings or Gray? BB now.

    1. Ëð
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wilson I think.

  24. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I see Ings or Gray is the question of the week, huh?

      Madness

      1. tibollom
        • 7 Years

        what other options are there though

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who'd you prefer for your two points.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        It's a double, good fixtures for both and great enablers to get a decent team for the rest of the season, so why not

    3. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I even success

    Best GK for the run in? With a DGW. I am looking at De Gea at the min...

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Lloris for me

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd actually say Lloris

    3. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Reasons for Lloris over De Gea?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Spurs' defence better than Man U's. Might bring in Shaw for last two GWs if I have a spare FT.

      2. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Better fixtures, better defence?

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          This.

      3. OneDennisBergkamp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not convinced by Lloris. Only 2 clean sheets in last 8. Without his penalty save against Arsenal would have a very low average score..

        Ederson better?

  27. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    My current liverpool defensive assets:
    Alisson
    Robbo taa
    Getting ready for gw35BB and free up 1 liverpool slot. Which one seems best?

    A) Mendy + laporte (remove taa)
    B) laporte + ederson (remove alisson)
    C) mendy + ederson (remove alisson)

    1. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Isn't mendy a better option long term ? May bring some attacking threat

  28. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which of these moves?

    A) Vardy and Brooks > Ings and Sterling
    B) Vardy and Batshuayi > Aguero and Wilson

    If I do A, I'm 0.1m short of Bat > Wils 🙁

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe I should've asked, which would you rather have.
      Brooks Aguero Wilson
      Sterling Ings Batshuayi

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        First

        1. Sterling Malory
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks, leaning that way. Mainly to shift Batshuayi who has been awful since I brought him in.

    3. balint84
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A ) sorry for Kun, but Ings+Sterling sounds better

  29. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    which one?
    1-JWP-Deeney > Hojbjerg-Wilson
    2-Deeney >> Gray
    3-Eriksen+Deeney >>> Moura-Rashford

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      1 and 3 will be for -4

    2. balint84
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      save Eriksen

  30. balint84
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    recommended defender in dgw?
    Whould I play a BB for a Spurs defender? Or Kabasele from Watford? I have David Luiz, Dunk, Valery. I1m considering Lloris in a pair of Ederson.
