Scout Notes

Rotation and frustration for FPL managers but City bounce back with win

Crystal Palace 0-2 Manchester City

  • Goals: Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m), David Silva (£7.6m)
  • Assists: Bernardo Silva (£7.9m), Raheem Sterling (£12.1m)
  • Bonus: David Silva, Joao Cancelo (£5.3m) x3, Jesus x1

For the third time this season and the second time in three Gameweeks, Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) was dropped to the bench for a league match by Pep Guardiola.

The Argentinean striker didn’t even make it onto the field as a substitute as Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) played the full 90 minutes and scored his side’s opening goal, taking his tally to three for the season.

The fact that the City boss is prone to rotation is hardly headline news but this was a particularly eyebrow-raising selection decision from Guardiola, given that Jesus had played 178 minutes for Brazil in Singapore over the last fortnight and that Aguero had been granted a breather over the international break.

The logic that the more rested Aguero would get the nod over his positional rival was turned on its head by the reigning champions’ head coach after full-time, with Guardiola saying:

We have two incredible strikers and Sergio is so important for this club. Gabriel came back from Brazil, Sergio was ten days without rhythm in training, that’s why I decided. But both are important.

When Sergio plays he plays a good level and when Gabriel plays he plays a good level. After that, I will take a decision. It depends on many, many things.

In fresh quotes released on Sunday evening, the City boss added:

Gabriel was always good from the beginning. Unfortunately, he had two tough injuries and after the World Cup, it was not easy for him.

He is a strong number nine of Brazil. The club bought an incredible young player for an incredible price – one of the best signings. When he arrived, he had an incredible impact and then after his injuries.

He’s good. He fights with Sergio Aguero; Sergio fights with him for one position. I’ve said many times: to compete with Sergio is the most difficult thing. Sergio is incredible – a legend; outrageously amazing. Sometimes, I need Sergio for many things; sometimes, I need Gabriel. That’s all.

The reason why (I picked Gabriel over Sergio at Crystal Palace) was because I thought Gabriel was in rhythm. When you play games with the national team, always you have the pace. Sergio was with Argentina for one week, came back and trained just three or four days. That’s the reason why.

He is young and he can improve. Like, in the last action he had, he had to pass to Kevin De Bruyne, but he is so young. There is more to come – from him and everyone.

I don’t know what will happen (who of Sergio or Gabriel will play) in the next game.

Aguero started every match from Gameweeks 1-13 last season, with that run only broken by injury.

Six of the seven Premier League matches that he failed to start in 2018/19 were either because of injury (Gameweeks 14-16 and 33) or came off the back of an injury (Gameweeks 17-18).

That security of starts is evidently a thing of the past, with Jesus playing much more of a prominent role domestically.

The Brazilian was a livewire throughout this match, too, producing some nimble footwork and highlighting his underrated strength in the air by registering six headed attempts on goal – one of which found the net for City’s opener.

Aguero’s owners may face a keep-or-sell dilemma, then, although they will be tempted to wait till Gameweek 12 before making a decision, with a double-header against Aston Villa and Southampton to come at the Etihad next.

The Argentina international is, after all, still the second-highest scoring Fantasy Premier League asset of 2019/20 despite three benchings.

Aguero is not alone in facing a rotation threat, of course.

At this stage last season, four City players were still ever-presents in the league; this time around, only Ederson (£6.1m) has made the starting XI in all nine of City’s league games.

Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m) was another to drop to the bench at Selhurst Park, although his demotion was perhaps less of a surprise given that he started City’s three matches in league and cup before the international break and considering that this may well have been Guardiola’s last chance to call upon Bernardo Silva (£7.9m) on the domestic front for a little while, given that the outcome to his FA charge is expected this week.

The two most-owned City players didn’t particularly have a field day in their teammates’ absence.

Raheem Sterling (£12.1m) did collect an assist for his role in David Silva‘s (£7.6m) goal but both he and Kevin De Bruyne (£10.1m) ought to have emerged from this encounter with more points.

Sterling was occasionally found hugging the left-hand touchline in the first half of Saturday’s match (something many observers have pointed out over recent weeks) but he was more prominent after the break, having four presentable chances from central positions inside the Palace box – the first hitting the post before three shots were skewed badly wide.

The fitness of Benjamin Mendy (£5.9m) could be key to Sterling’s goal threat when he plays on the left, with the Frenchman offering the natural width that the other left-bank candidates sometimes struggle to match.

Guardiola highlighted Sterling’s profligacy when asked about the winger’s fine assist:

Yeah. it was an incredible assist. At the same time, his mates gave him assists and he could not score a goal. But next time he will do it.

We created a lot of chances and their keeper made a lot of saves. It’s okay, hopefully we can be more clinical in the future, but it was a good result.

De Bruyne didn’t have his best game on his return from injury, with his distribution for once not inch-perfect and his first touch occasionally lacking.

That said, he ought to have emerged from this game with at least one attacking return, being completely overlooked by Jesus with the goal at his mercy and then heading agonisingly off the post from an Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) cross.

It was David Silva who ended up top-scoring for the hosts, with the veteran midfielder registering his fourth double-digit haul of the campaign – more than De Bruyne, Sterling and Aguero have managed.

To compound the misery for many Fantasy managers, City’s three most-owned defenders missed out on their fourth clean sheet of the campaign.

Kyle Walker (£6.0m) and Nicolas Otamendi (£5.6m) were sidelined through illness and injury respectively, while Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.4m) was overlooked in favour of Mendy.

Zinchenko has now failed to start three of the last four league matches.

Two midfielders, Rodri (£5.5m) and Fernandinho (£5.2m), deputised at centre-half and were everything that Otamendi hasn’t been of late: cool, composed and quick-thinking, able to sniff out danger before a footrace from the halfway line was required.

While City still have an obvious weakness at set-piece situations – Ederson having to pull off a world-class save to tip Christian Benteke‘s (£5.7m) header onto the bar – Palace weren’t much of a threat from open play and it’ll be interesting to see how Guardiola shapes his defence up in Gameweek 10 after this display, should all of his centre-half options be available.

The City boss said of Rodri and Fernandinho:

Thank you so much for the effort because it is not their position. But our build-up is faster and both were incredible. Rodri didn’t train one day in that position but he is intelligent and smart.

The season is long. Everyone will play. It’s another option but we knew it at the beginning.

Palace’s role in the Fantasy world over the next four Gameweeks may be that of party-poopers, with the Eagles next facing Arsenal, Leicester, Chelsea and Liverpool.

They are an admirably well-organised and stubborn side and had kept City mostly at bay before the visitors’ quick-fire double effectively killed the game just before half-time.

Over half of City’s ‘big chances’ arrived in the final quarter of an hour, with Palace having little option but to throw bodies forward.

Palace had only conceded one home goal before Saturday’s match and we can expect them to be a space-constricting barrier for the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m), Jamie Vardy (£9.0m), Tammy Abraham (£7.7m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) in the weeks ahead, with defending very much Roy Hodgson’s side’s strong suit.

The Palace manager said after the game:

We were defending well, the defenders worked hard to follow the game plan. To make certain we seal off the space that their players need and want to use. But it’s hard to seal them off completely because of the quality of their players. We weren’t exactly conceding a goal chance every few minutes. But at 0-2, the ability and composure they have to keep the ball, it was going to be very tough.

We’d have needed an early goal [in response] to shake them, and the longer the game went on that didn’t happen. But we kept going, and kept trying, and made Ederson make two or three very good saves. We had the ball in their penalty area a lot more in that half, and I’m afraid that’s the best we could do in the game.

First-choice goalkeeper Vicente Guaita (£5.0m) and popular budget FPL defender Martin Kelly (£4.1m) missed this game through injury, with Hodgson saying later:

Vicente Guaita has been complaining about a slight groin problem for a period of time. We thought he possibly would recover but he didn’t. There was a thought we could have taken a risk with him. He was not far off from being fit.

Martin Kelly was in yesterday’s training session, he felt a slight twinge in his groin. As with Guaita, I’m not sure, I’m hoping it won’t be a long-term injury.

Crystal Palace XI (4-3-3): Hennessey; van Aanholt, Tomkins (Dann 83′), Cahill, Ward; Milivojevic (Benteke 76′), McArthur, Kouyate; Schlupp (Townsend 55′), Zaha, Ayew.

Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Rodri, Fernandinho, Mendy; D Silva (Stones 79′), Gundogan, De Bruyne (Foden 90′); B Silva, Jesus, Sterling.

      This season has been a disaster pal, I think a lot of people are in the same boat. Hopefully it'll turn around soon though just from a happiness perspective. Finished 6K OR the past 2 years and currently sitting 1.5m OR lol

      1. LC1
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, everyone seems to be in a similar situation.

        Fingers crossed your season picks up, too!

  2. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Slipped to around 1.5m OR after a poorly 29+Lundstram on my WC...

    Nothing seems to be going right this season, and captaincy isn’t helping at all. Expect many better players than me experiencing the same.

    What kind of rank should I be hopeful of achieving if things look up? All other chips intact, my team is linked x

    1. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Its a savage season - you can still definitely get top 50k bt

    2. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You can still get top 10k from there this early in the season.

  3. Tmel
    • 13 Years

    Best Pukki replacement 7.2 or under?

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Probably Jimenez

    2. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Maupay, jimmy or perhaps jota when fit again

    3. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years

      Jimenez

  4. George Sillett

            Cheers but its been boring as sin with no big weeks and no shockers. One big week will send you flying up the ranks . Good luck

          Decent stuff. You’re doing well. I’m currently on 285k with Lundstram & Aubameyang left

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Thank you. Good chance of a rank rise for you tonight

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It’s tough. At this point Aubameyang scoring a goal will make a huge difference. Need him to deliver

  5. @persecuted_by_mods

      How many captain fails must a man endure before he deletes his tram, asking for a mate

            Don't think I, I mean he, could endure that

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years

          His tram? Have you gone off the rails?

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Haha something like that

            • Stamford Bridge
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              He’s on the wrong track so makes sense to me

          2. Make United Great Again
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Blanked 6 out of 9 GW’s so far. Rotten!!

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                4 years, 5 months ago

                7/9 here, 1st week Salah and then 1 more assist is all my captains have ever got

                1. The Overthinker

                  4 years, 5 months ago

              If Sterl and Jesus start midweek,is it wise to do Sterl and Pukki to Tielemans and Kun for a hit?

              1. Andy_Social
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                No. Read here what Pep said about his Jesus/Kun policy. There isn't one.

                1. _Gunner
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  exactly
                  am keeping Kun and captaining next gameweek, if he doesn't deliver.

                  He is gone.

                  1. Andy_Social
                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    If he doesn't deliver isn't a problem. If he doesn't PLAY is.

            3. Make United Great Again
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              An Aubameyang goal and 3 bonus will be like a hatrick this GW. Need points from him!

              1. Jebiga
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Lundfstram hatty 🙂

                1. Make United Great Again
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  I’ll take that too.

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                I instead need a Lundstram CS and hattrick. Or CS and just a goal either way

            4. Jebiga
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              What to do with this lot ?

              1FT

              Pope
              Otamendi, TAA, Digne, Tomori
              KDB, Mane, Mount
              Abraham, Aguero, Wilson

              sub: Button, Cantwell, Lundstram, Dendockner
              1.1 in the bank

              1. Angelic upstart
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Maybe try and upgrade cantwell to Cho or Yarmolenko or Grealish. Team is fine in the main.
                If you get Cho lose mount for him and maybe swap cantwell for dilva if money permits

            5. Atimis
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Early transfer suggestions with 2.8ITB and 1FT?
              Been thinking about Cantwell to Maddison.

              Pope
              TAA/Ota/Tomori/Soy
              Mane/KDB/Mount
              Auba/Abraham/Wilson

              Button/Cantwell/Lund/Hayden

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Who would you start out of
              A) cantwell
              B) Lowton
              C) Lascelles ( replacing Hanley for a hit)

              Help a brother get Son out of the house - 1 FT, maxed out on Chelsea, I’ve got Vardy, Sterling and KDB, .1 in the bank.....

              Pepe, Dilva, Yarmo, Maddison, who looks best out of these options?

              7/9 captain blanks here. 2.7 million OR this season after never finishing outside top 28k. Time to throw all caution to the wind and go super maverick.

                  Maybe Silva benching him will provide the impetus he needs to spark up and become a solid FPL asset again!

                    Love siggy, though I was very disappointed with west ham. Jekyll and Hyde as always.
                    Hope things turn for you - I'm not doing as bad and I'm aware you are the better fpl manager!

                iv had 6 seasons all inside the top 50k - finishing 3k last season.

                This year im playing well and know im not making any stupid mistakes yet im sat at 950k

                Weird ass season, i didn't get Pukki at all, so i guess those early hauls put me back and its hard to recover

                Its very simple, the template has not delivered as yet. here and there but not the real goods. the ones at the top were the ones antecipating out of template good runs, meaning the early Pukki party goers, the early Tammy believers and the ones putting their money on Auba and/or Kun instead of Salah, Sterling and Kane.

                          Transfers and Finance *

                          * Values at the last deadline

                          He might very well be lying but you can’t see other players’ value and transfers made until the deadline

                            I can see his current team value, identical to deadline value....... and it's Dribbles.

                          Total Transfers are the transfers from the start of the season to date. Transfers made since the last deadline aren't publically visible until after the next deadline.

                            Do you read the posts?
                            His team value hasn't changed, that's why.
                            Let's check next deadline shall we.

                            And another thing, yes I have been playing for 10 years and posting on here.
                            The transfer info in regards to last deadline was changed this season only, so been in place just over 2 months, which I backed up with the team value.
                            If you're backing Dribbles and Team Cruel here, good luck with your future life choices.

              Somehow sitting at 12k overnight. No room for mess ups now!

              I fancy a move of Pukki & Kane > Rashford & Vardy this week, to shake things up a bit? Thoughts?

                Rather James/Martial than Rash.

              Anyone know why Josh King was benched, and whether Aaron Connolly was subbed due to the red card? How did he play?

                brighton red card yes, he was playing well, had best chance for brighton to score apart from their goal

                He said before the season that he was glad they strengthen their attack because he often were tired after IB and had a conversation with howe on this. i knew this as i´m norwegian and still i bought him in prior to this game-)

              What move is better here? Note i will wildcard in gwk13 so its short term only:

              a) Heaton -> keeper up to 4.7
              b) Haller -> Jiminez
              c) Coleman -> defender up to 5.6. Cancelo maybe?
              d) save

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Danny Ings looks an enticing differential. 2% owned and solid stats to back up his 3 goals in the past 3. Saints have a decent run coming up, aside from City in GW11

            19. Seamy
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Does Otamendi have to go if you don't have more pressing issues?

              1. IRBOX ⚽
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                No, I doubt Rodri will keep playing centre half. Otamendi would still be first choice on the left I would say with Stones/Dino on the right of the pairing. Wait for CL mid-week and need on his knock

              2. Andy_Social
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Bit tricky. He was rubbish then got injured. Will Pep start him after a stiff talking to next GW? If you have a decent sub, I'd keep and monitor.

              Are three attacking CHE players too much in your opinion?

              I already own Abraham & Mount and thinking of doing McGinn > Hudson-Odoi so that next week I could do Wilson > Vardy

              Yay or Nay?

                As Mr. Bang-average on 30 points myself, let me explain. I have Vardy and 10 blankers. Others are variations on the same theme.
