Scout Picks

Sterling and Aguero tipped for big scores by Gameweek 5 Scout Picks

We have spent the big bucks on our Manchester City attacking assets this week as they face a Norwich defence in dire straits.

This week the Scout Picks XI features three players priced over £12.0m but we have still managed to stick to our £83.0m budget.

Our 3-5-2 formation comes in at £82.9m, £0.1m inside the limit.

Goalkeeper

Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian has an appealing fixture this weekend

Adrian (£4.6m) was not selected by any of our Scout Squad pundits this week, but we’ve brought him in as an enabler. There was overwhelming support for a double-up on the Liverpool defence but we only had enough in our budget for one of their premium options. With Alisson still out injured, Adrian should keep his place in goal.

Defenders

Alexander-Arnold remains our chosen Liverpool defensive option ahead of Gameweek 5

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.1m) was the most popular Liverpool defender among our Scout Squad pundits. David, Paul and Geoff all selected him as the best option in this price bracket, Neale choosing him in second place. The right-back heads into an appealing meeting with a goal-shy Newcastle side and three assists in his first four matches. The potential for a double-figure haul, made up from returns at both ends of the pitch, continues to be high for Alexander-Arnold.

The inclusion of Matt Lowton (£4.5m) was a way of granting the request from our Scout Squad for Burnley defensive cover. Nick Pope was a popular choice but we had to go with Adrian in goal. Lowton comes in based on Burnley’s clean sheet potential for a trip to Brighton, and having created more chances than any of his defensive colleagues so far this season.

John Lundstram (£4.2m) continues to make a useful budget enabler for Fantasy managers. Sheffield United remain one of the tightest-looking defences in the Premier League, having allowed just 22 shots in the box across the first four Gameweeks (fifth-best). Meanwhile, Lundstram himself is behind only two players in the top flight for big chances created.

Midfielders

Sterling should enjoy his trip to Norwich on Saturday afternoon

Despite a blank against Brighton, Raheem Sterling (£12.3m) is straight back in the Scout Picks. After the first four matches of the season, the Manchester City midfielder is still just one behind the current Golden Boot front-runner with five goals and during that time, no player has been afforded more big chances. Meanwhile, Norwich’s defence looks in tatters for Gameweek 5. They have conceded more than any other side so far and are likely to be without at least three centre-backs in Ben Godfrey, Christoph Zimmermann and Timm Klose this weekend. Furthermore, right-back Max Aarons has been ruled out, Grant Hanley is unlikely to be able to feature from the beginning and Tim Krul is also a doubt to start now.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) was the most popular midfielder for Gameweek 5, tipped as the best in this position by three of our pundits, David selecting him in second place. In both of his Premier League matches at Anfield this season, the Egyptian registered a double-figure haul and he will be fancying his chances against Newcastle. The Magpies might have the ability to frustrate top six sides, as they did at Spurs in Gameweek 3, but Salah still got three attacking returns against them last season.

Mason Mount (£6.4m) is one of a handful of mid-price midfielders who appear to have the ability to offer decent value this season. He has two goals so far and could have arguably had more than that. Ahead of a trip to Wolves, the Chelsea midfielder has registered the same number of shots on target as Sterling, and more than any other option priced at £6.5m or below.

The absence of some key personnel for Manchester United should both help Daniel James‘ (£6.1m) chances of starting and increase the need for him to deliver. In the last two matches, the value midfield option has had seven shots inside the box, the second-most in the whole division. With Leicester yet to keep a clean sheet on the road so far this season, James looks a good bet for more attacking returns this weekend.

John McGinn (£5.6m) is the final member of our value midfield trio as he prepares to face West Ham on Monday night. With attacking returns in two matches so far this season, the box-to-box option will fancy his chances against a Hammers’ defence that has conceded more big chances than any other side so far.

Forwards

We’re backing Aguero to have another enjoyable afternoon in Gameweek 5

Our Scout Squad panel was unanimous in selecting Sergio Aguero (£12.1m) as the best forward option for Gameweek 5. That decision was reached even before the Norwich defensive situation got worse on Friday afternoon. The Argentinian has scored in every match this season, currently leading the Golden Boot race, and is likely to deliver even if he has his minutes managed in light of Gabriel Jesus’ return from fitness simply because Norwich’s problems at the back are so bad.

Sébastien Haller (£7.5m) completes our line-up ahead of a trip to face Aston Villa on Monday night. Dean Smith’s men have allowed more shots than any other side so far this year, while Haller has three goals in his last two matches.

Substitutes

Nick Pope (£4.6m) was the most popular budget goalkeeper in our Scout Squad submissions but we had to bench him to accommodate our Liverpool defensive double-up.

We were also able to work in some Manchester City defensive cover so Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.6m) has to be content among the substitutes. With Norwich unlikely to park the bus against them, there is perhaps still a slight chance that they find a way through.

Manuel Lanzini (£6.5m) gets a place on the bench as a cheap alternative West Ham’s centre-forward. The midfielder has created more chances than any of his colleagues so far this season.

Ashley Barnes (£6.7m) has impressed in the early part of the campaign but we ran out of money to get him in the Scout Picks starting XI. 

The Captain

As we have mentioned many times since the season began, the Scout Picks now has a captain for the 2019/20 campaign.

This skipper is chosen using the conclusions of the latest Captain Sensible article and a four-way vote between David, Neale, Paul and Geoff.

Because the use of Fantasy Football Scout data is used so heavily in this process, the captain we choose each Gameweek will be known only to those who have signed up to Membership for the 2019/20 season.

It will be revealed to the public only when the deadline for the Gameweek has passed.

The Community Champion

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 5 is Warby84.

They have gone for a 4-3-3 of Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Otamendi, Maitland-Niles, Lundstram; De Bruyne, Salah (c), McGinn; Aguero, Haller, Vardy.

The community member who beats our picks by the biggest margin over the campaign will win a £100 Amazon Voucher and a place in our Contributors and Moderators League for the following season.

It was a defeat for the Scout Picks in Gameweek 4 as InsaneFC won by a 75-64 scoreline.

That makes his winning margin of 11 points the new score to beat for the 2019/20 season.

    I think captaincy is easy - sterling/kun whomever you have

    If they don’t play then it’s the vice salah

    Sterling clearly has high chances of sitting this one out but that defence - high risk high reward

        Agree

      • Lev Yashin

        So if Raz is benched, he stays benched?

        No 10-20 min cameo?

          Guess it’s unlikely he’d sub on unless really required

            What if the score is 0-0 say at 57th minute.

            Sterling comes in. Does nothing. But Aguero scores a brace

        Since when young professional footballer cant play games every 3-4 days ?

        All this benching scaremonging happens here every season and in most cases players do start anyway.

          Sterling was benched in 25% of games against non top 6 opposition last season.

            How many was he subbed in?

          2. el polako

            Which games were that ?
            When ? Who played instead of him ?

        3. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          That's because players don't get rested often. But they DO very rested. So why have a cow about the debate about when that'll be, man?

      • Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This week is anything but easy. Players got big international minutes and Norwich is prime resting fodder

        1. Pacer.

          Though if you own Kun it seems safe enough

          Gone full circle myself just can’t help but roll the dice on this one

          Norwich will be lucky to put a team out

          1. Rinseboy
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            agree this seems to good an opportunity to miss in captaining Sterling!

    2. Ci Siamo
      • 8 Years

      Wood or King?

      1. BlueEddy
        • 7 Years

        King

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wood for sure. King should be dropped once Howe gets some sense.

    3. BlueEddy
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ceballos or James?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        James - great shooting stats

      2. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years

        Ceb with Laca out

    4. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

      Triple captain Sterlimg too risky?

        Depends how big your balls are

    5. Prison Mike

      Lundstram or Pukki

      Pukki or Lundstram

      1. Miguel Sanchez

        • 7 Years

        Pukki

        1. Prison Mike
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Surely with Norwich injuries it could get messy for them today?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Attack is their only form of defence. Can see him nicking a consolation effort in a 5-1 defeat

          2. Laen_inside
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            A consolation goal is worth the same amount of points 🙂

            • 6 Years

            They’ll need to attack. Hoping for an 8-2 with a Rahzzy double Hattie and Pukki brace...

      2. Shaw must go on
        • 11 Years

        To play or to bench??

        1. Prison Mike

          Play

    6. blind faith
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Will D.Silva likely have major reduced minutes?

      Thinking

      A) KDB & Rashford
      B) D.Silva & Aguero

      (I have sterling with both options)

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        B

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Or KdB, Haller + cash

      2. Laen_inside
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Silva had no international minutes

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Had a bit of a kick around at Vinnie’s testimonial

          1. Laen_inside
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            True.. Being up against Scholes and Carrick is way more tiring!

      3. SiSenor
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        KDB + Haller for long term
        DSilva + Aguero for short term

        1. Blue&White85
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        I wouldn’t go near Rashford so B.

      2. SiSenor

        I like Haller but King has good fixtures so hold for now

    8. Tronity
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      How's this looking for a lower budget defence wildcard?

      Adrian, Button
      Digne, Soyuncu, Lowton, Kelly, Lundstrum
      Salah, Sterling, KDB, James, Guenduzi
      Aguero, Pukki, Greenwood

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It’s ok, attack looks great but I’m not sure if you’ll have 4 defenders you want to play every week. Also Alisson is back training so you might only get a couple more games out of Adrian.

        1. Tronity
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks, my thought is to take a punt on one of Kelly, Lund, Dendo and Greenwood each week. Think Klopp said mid-Oct so will just make the move once he’s back. 3-4 games would be a bonus.

      2. maratus
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not that good mate.
        Not playable : Greenwood, Guendouzi, Kelly.
        With those upcoming fixtures it would be horror to play Lundstrum every week.
        You got simply 1 budget option to much.

        1. maratus
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          And you can also add that Söyüncü has 3 bad fixtures from next 4. You need to upgrade Kelly basically.

    9. Mesh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Jota replacement?

      A. Barnes
      B. King
      C. Keep Jota

      1. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        A, but there is slight risk

        I made the move last GW, glad I don’t have to decide!

    10. bluenose82
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pope away against BHA?
      Or
      Heaton at home against WHU?

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I’m going Pope

      2. jackhammer1
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Same dilemma. Think I'm just going to go Pope as more people have him.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

            James Rashford and one of Greenwood, Mata or Pereira?

            "I'm prepared to start any of the players in this squad," Solskjaer said when asked about Greenwood. "They are in the running and we just have to make the last call after training today and tomorrow morning.

          I was toying with the idea of Ayew myself. Quite risky but so cheap and definitely in form

              London derby against an out of form spurs.. Then wolves and norwich at home and west ham away? There is definitely potential points there

        Would you start?

        1. FPL_JAAFAR
          • 9 Years

          Greenwood even if he gets a point. You would still get more excited watching him play 10 min than not seeing cantwell for 90 against city

      6. rodragon

        Play cantwell or do awb to zinchenko for -4?

        Pls help

          Defender for -4 never worth it, all they can do is break even

          • Has Moderation Rights

          Under normal circumstances Zinc, but there’s probably a Mendy cloud looming so -4 hit seems unwise

        Hi guys,

        What would you go for;

        a) Kane and Pepe
        b) Auba and Son

          B by a million miles! Have been searching for any way to get Auba in. I’d take auba over Pepe and Son over Kane

        quick show of hands for Sterling (c) Salah (vc)?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

        4 years, 6 months ago

        Appreciate a sense check:

        Play boring:
        Pope
        TAA Otamendi Digne
        Salah Sterling KDB Mount James
        Haller Abraham

        Risk it for pepe:
        Pope
        TAA Otamendi Matip Lundstram/Ayew rotation
        Salah Sterling KDB Pepe Mount
        Abraham

        Can downgrade Abraham to Pukki if doesn't work out. And Mount to Ceballos to upgrade hanley. There's also digne>soyuncu, James>martial, 9.5>martial, ayew>Pukki options too.

        Stick or twist?!

        1. Markus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I could also do salah/Ayew to Auba/James in second one but that feels like a risk too far or is Auba better than Salah upfront?

        2. Concrete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

        3. maratus
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Lundstram/Ayew rotation? Have you checked their fixtures?
          There is not much to rotate, as they both have unplayable fixtures.
