Scout Notes

The latest on Rashford and Greenwood as United flop away from home again

It is now seven away league games without a victory for Manchester United after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at West Ham United.

While the Red Devils admittedly had to face the likes of Arsenal and an in-form Everton in the 2018/19 run-in, they have so far failed to beat Wolves, Southampton and the Hammers on the road this season.

We reflect on their latest away-day display in our Scout Notes below.

West Ham United 2-0 Manchester United

  • Goals: Andriy Yarmolenko (£5.9m), Aaron Cresswell (£4.9m)
  • Assists: Felipe Anderson (£6.9m), Mark Noble (£5.0m)
  • Bonus: Yarmolenko x3, Cresswell x2, Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m) x1

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said that Marcus Rashford (£8.5m) may be “out for a little while” after the England striker limped out of Sunday’s defeat to West Ham.

Rashford, again leading the line in the absence of the sidelined Anthony Martial (£7.6m), lasted an hour of the match at the London Stadium before having to be replaced.

Solskjaer said after full-time:

We’ve got to scan him tomorrow, he felt his groin. He’ll probably be out for a little while but I can update you later on when I know that.

Those comments would perhaps excite owners of Mason Greenwood (£4.5m) given United’s dearth of fit options up top, although the Norwegian went on to say that Martial isn’t too far away from a return.

Greenwood himself failed to make the 18-man squad this afternoon because of a bout of tonsillitis, with Solskjaer saying after full-time:

Hopefully, Mason and Anthony will be back for – definitely Arsenal – hopefully, one of them for Rochdale.

There was further positive news from Solskjaer regarding his injury-hit United side, with the United boss saying about the absent Paul Pogba (£8.4m) ahead of kick-off:

Hopefully, we can get him back next week. He started training yesterday. Probably get some minutes against Rochdale, but definitely we think he’s ready for Arsenal.

The players that made it onto the pitch didn’t pose much of a danger in a stuttering display, with Rashford fairly anonymous up top save for a couple of threatening darts from wide areas.

Daniel James (£6.2m) had little joy on his favoured left flank, meanwhile, with his only shot on goal hitting the side netting late in the game.

United’s striking crisis was laid bare when the Wales international briefly had a spell up front late in the game – United’s makeshift front four in the last ten minutes consisting of James, Jesse Lingard (£6.4m), Andreas Pereira (£5.0m) and Angel Gomes (£4.9m).

The imminent return of Martial and Pogba may well have a galvanising effect, of course, and Pogba’s creativity has been sorely missed in central midfield – Nemanja Matic (£4.8m) turning in another sub-par display in his stead.

Solskjaer said of his side’s attacking performance:

We didn’t create enough chances, but we did create big chances that we didn’t take. They didn’t create too many either and it’s a game that could have gone both ways. When you have Marcus and Dan James I don’t think pace is the problem..

The two sides’ defences will be a topic of discussion after this fixture.

For Manchester United, this was another away match without a clean sheet but there have been hints that the Red Devils are capable of recording more shut-outs than they managed last season.

Solskjaer’s side were undone by a well-crafted Andriy Yarmolenko (£5.9m) strike and a stunning Aaron Cresswell (£4.9m) free-kick but didn’t allow the Hammers a single ‘big chance’ all match and their expected goals conceded tally is the lowest of all 20 Premier League sides this season.

The Red Devils, indeed, have only allowed one big chance away from home in 2019/20.

Certainly, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) put in another solid shift from a defensive perspective, even if his distribution was bordering on the woeful.

West Ham, meanwhile, have quietly gone about racking up three successive clean sheets.

One of the worst defences of 2018/19 have looked surprisingly solid in the last three Gameweeks, with Angelo Ogbonna (£4.5m) and Issa Diop‘s (£4.5m) partnership blooming at the heart of the Hammers’ backline.

The return of the all-action (and sometimes criticised) Mark Noble (£5.0m) can’t be underestimated, either, with defensive midfielder Declan Rice (£4.9m) having looked exposed alongside Jack Wilshere (£4.8m) in the first two Gameweeks of the season.

That’s not to say that West Ham haven’t ridden their luck in the last three Gameweeks: Todd Cantwell (£5.0m), Wesley (£6.0m) and Jack Grealish (£5.9m) had all had gilt-edged opportunities against Manuel Pellegrini’s side and today it was the turn of Juan Mata (£6.4m) and Harry Maguire (£5.5m) to spurn excellent chances, with Mata unable to convert a Pereira cross from close range and Maguire firing straight at Fabianski when unmarked.

One worry for West Ham’s backline would be a possible injury picked up by right-back Ryan Fredericks (£4.5m), who limped off with ten minutes to go.

Pellegrini said of his side’s performance:

Manchester United didn’t create too many chances, we tried to play high, to have good recovery and you must be happy when you score two goals and don’t concede.

For 45 minutes we perhaps played too fast, and both teams lost too many balls, so to score the first goal was a key factor to try and win the game.

I said at half-time if we continued to defend as we did in the first half, not just in our box, but force them to make mistakes immediately when they came into our half, then we are not going to concede too many opportunities. 

Sebastien Haller (£7.5m) wasn’t able to get much change out of Maguire but will have easier tests in the weeks ahead against less-solid backlines.

Yarmolenko and Felipe Anderson (£6.9m) caught the eye, though, with the pair combining well for the Ukraine international’s goal and then Yarmolenko almost returning the favour in the second half.

In truth, this wasn’t a game for the attacking assets on show – which perhaps is a testament to the defensive improvement both sides have shown following a sub-par 2018/19.

West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Fredericks (Zabaleta 79′), Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Noble, Rice; Yarmolenko (Snodgrass 88′), Fornals, Anderson (Wilshere 70′); Haller.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Young; Matic (Fred 70′), McTominay; Pereira, Mata (Gomes 80′) James; Rashford (Lingard 60′).

      Good team. What transfers did you make?

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You don’t want to know

    2. Lav
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Interesting. Martial + Digne are my least favorite in that side.

    3. waldo666
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Took a hit and still have Martial, you must be confident he lines up next GW?

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I had other fires to put out

        1. waldo666
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Furry muff.

    4. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Looks good. Missing Kdb, can't have all I guess.

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

    Mason Mount and Abraham in for Ceballos and Barnes tonight? I have the exact funds to pull the trigger but taking a -4. Getting Barnes in was a proper mistake. Plus, this will pay off long term surely? Chelsea fixtures look good. Advice?

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Feels like one is enough. Barnes also has good fixtures

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes was not a mistake and has the potential to punish you if you ditch.
      Wood hauling last g//w though cements my thinking their not so prolific attacking points will be shared.
      Chelsk attack over the Burnley wall.

  3. No Salah
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Last five GW captain scores:
    3,2,3,2,2

    I’m the one who’s jinxing it.

    Should I do everyone a favour and declare my captain ahead so all can avoid?

    1. waldo666
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Based on that run it would be appreciated, yes.

      1. No Salah
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        LOL, it will be on Kane, I doubt if anyone has him anymore.

        1. Hurnt
          • 10 Years

          Thanks for the heads up

  4. iL PiStOlErO
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Can this defence do the job in next few weeks?
    Pope
    Otamendi Tomori Soyuncu (Lundstram Rico)

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

      One Rico too far for me

    2. KDB4PREZ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have same expect Diop for Tomori so hope so buddy

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks man. On wc here. It allows me to have Auba Kun Mo KdB and Son all in my team

    3. Lav
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

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

    Which threesome do you prefer?

    A. Abraham, Son, Rico (-8)
    B. Firmino, Maddison, Tomori (-4)
    C. Owen (Michelle), Daglish (Kelly), Thompson (Georgie)

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Blonde and brunette

    2. Lav
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A is right, C is probably best.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A would mean selling Firmino before Sheff Utd 😕

    5. Hits from the Bong
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A or C

    6. Hurnt
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    7. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is Son really worth 2.5m more than Maddison?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Without a doubt imo.

      2. Hits from the Bong
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. Mount and Cantwell or the Silvas maybe better value but Maddison has never scored well in fpl as far as I’m aware

  6. tc93
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with this lot, want to eventually try to switch to a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2. 0.0 ITB.
    Dont mind taking a couple of hits

    Pope
    Zich / AWB / Digne / VVD / Lund
    Sterling / KDB / Mount / Salah /Cantwell
    Haller / Pukki / Greenwood

    1) Zich + AWB + Greenwood --> Rico + 4.0 + Tammy (-8)
    2) Haller + Zich --> Tammy + Ottomendi (-4)
    3) VVD + Zich + Haller --> Lowton + 4.0 + Aubamayang (-8)

    Quick 1, 2 or 3 guys

    1. Lav
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2

      1. tc93
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Reasons?

  7. Lav
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Am I crazy for wanting to WC this, despite having 2 FT?

    Pope (Button)
    Robbo VVD Digne Diop (Lund)
    Salah Sterling KDB McGinn (Cantwell)
    Pukki Barnes (Greenwood)

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      How many would you change, main XI?

      1. Lav
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Barnes, Salah, Sterling, McGinn, Digne, VVD/Robbo (or both).

        Trying a different approach, a restructure to 3-4-3 with Kun.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I don't see the need for all that just for Kun, who will be now getting less minutes with Jesus about. Rather a different forward and invest elsewhere.

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe not because you could use one or two of Auba/Kun/Tammy. Also Son

      1. Lav
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Kun, Tammy, Son is why I want to WC

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Why Kun though and not Auba or the likes? Jesus back in the mox now, limited minutes for Kun? Surely he can't be playing 90 mins a game now, matter of time before injury otherwise.

          1. Lav
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            He has been incredible though. Maybe its a rash decision. I at least want Son, and I cant afford to lose a City asset. Need two at all times I think.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Has been, but with Jesus now back, reduced mins more than likely, missed a bicket load last game, i reckon he'll cool down a little now, time for other forwards to go on a run.

    3. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep.

      1. Lav
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Shouldnt I be worried about no Kun + Son?

    4. Jon Snow
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in a similar boat, 2FT but want to WC.

      You could downgrade one/two of the Pool defenders or Digne and upgrade Greenwood for a change in formation

      1. Lav
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Correct. But I am thinking WC because I want Kun + Son.

      2. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Look at what I can have with wc

        Pope
        Otamendi Tomori Soyuncu Lund Rico
        Mo KdB Son Cantwell Choudhury
        Kun Auba Grenwood

        Very tempting!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          lacks in defence a tad, certainly midfield, and only two forwards, not for me but best of luck f going with the team.

          1. iL PiStOlErO
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks but probably want do this. Just using wc imagination, its fun, it could pay off big time.

            1. iL PiStOlErO
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I always prefer to have at least one premium def. In this case i lose TAA

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah that's fine bud, i've turned it into fun now instead of serious after a dreadful, usually always play aggresively anyway, conservative just isn't for me in FPL 🙂 So i salute you on being creative and going for it, really hope it works 😉

                1. iL PiStOlErO
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Thanks. Good luck to you too

    2. JT11fc

      C with Auba and Rico upgraded to Aurier?

  9. Dirty Harry

    Just pulled the trigger on the WC.

    Any weaknesses? No Salah/Sterling though.

    Pope (4.0)
    TAA Otamendi Tomori Lund Rico
    Mane KDB Son Mount Guendouzi
    Auba Tammy Pukki

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would try to fit at least one of them

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        But apart from that great team

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, I feel I can drop Sterling. Frustrating as. But Salah I didn't really want to drop. Though I'd have to downgrade TAA to bring in Salah for Mane...?

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldnyou be tempted to downgrade Otamendi and get Salah for Mane or Aguero for Auba?

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I think Kun would be more ideal if Mane can get keep up his form.

      2. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thats the way here and Salah

      3. Dirty Harry
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Otamendo > Soyu and Mane > Salah?

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

          1. Dirty Harry
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Spewing, screwed myself. I'm 0.1 short to do that move. I sold Salah for Mane and lost the profit 🙁

            1. iL PiStOlErO
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Ouch

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Correct in Auba over Kun imo, great team, but agree with above, i'd try my best to grab Salah over Mane, but not a main issue.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Spewing, I just dropped Salah for Mane. Unless I go:

        Salah + Pereira instead of Mane + TAA

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Hmmmm, that's debatable, wouldn't want to lose TAA. Seems a cruel option eother way there bud as each one loses out kind of.

          1. Dirty Harry
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Or I drop Guendouzi for a 4.5 mid, drop Otamendi to Soyu and up Mane to Salah.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              That could work if you're not overly mad on a City defender.

    Been a while since I took a hit (having a dreadful season nonetheless) but just wanted to check, if I then activate the wildcard does the hit get deleted?

      Before I answer, what's your thinking?

  20. SAY MY NAME

    Do we think Chelsea defence will improve soon, or is it just their style of play under Lampard that mean clean sheets are going to be few and far between?

    Like the look of Tomori and those amazing fixtures, but surely safer to go with Soyuncu or even Diop?

    anyone got hope for Chelsea defence?

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Theres hope just geling still Soy might be safer for now

      I went Aurier to save for another move but would go Ota if I had the money

      Cheers Rainy!

      Thankfully did my moves earlier, that Sterling drop would of halted any plans.

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        its kind of halted mine but i was indecisive and selling sterling was basically the key transfer and I still dont know if its the right move or not
        Gonna have to find that 0.1 from somewhere

    Help pls! I'm getting red arrows in all my leagues and the gap is growing. WC or nah?

    Current Team

    Mount Sterling, Salah, Cantwell Dendocker
    Haller, Pukki, Abrahan
    WC Team A
    Ryan (Button)

    WC Team B
    Ryan (Button)
    TAA TOMORI DIOP Lund Rico
    Son Mane KDB Cantwell NOBLE

    A) Wilcard A
    B) Wildcard B
    C) Zinchenko & Sterling to Otamendi & KDB?

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

      I honest can't decide between any of the 3 options.
      So there I have really given some good feedback 🙂

    2. Mr Peanutbutter
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      don't wc

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

      Your current team looks fine, perhaps sort it out with a hit or two?

      Priorities would probably be Zinchenko and double pool defense.

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If WC team A but there is one mid extra

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

      Dont wildcard. Bring in Otamendi for Zinchenko, lose VVD for a 4.0 fodder.
      2.5M in bank, this will help you upgrade a forward next week for a free, or something more radical for a -4 if you downgrade Salah or Sterling .

      No major surgery needed, just maintenance.

  27. Hits from the Bong

    Transfers done. Not sure why so early as I didn’t even sell Sterling. It can’t do any worse hopefully.

        salah in both

    5. ZimZalabim
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      nice so i should have wildcarded

      cant get this team now hahahaha what a shame 🙁

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        B

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

        You could have Auba in the Kun spot and an upgrade somewhere else?

        1. ZimZalabim
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          thought about that but i dont really want just kdb
          wanted kdb plus one of Aguero or sterling

          Now i think i either take a -8 and do a mini version of this and wc after 8 or tinker and figure another way only 0.2 away from this team so i would just have to sacrifice a def maybe go back to robbo from TAA

    6. iL PiStOlErO
