Scout Notes

Kane, Son and Alli continue blistering start to Mourinho’s reign

Tottenham Hotspur 5 Burnley 0

Goals: Harry Kane (£10.9m) x2, Lucas Moura (£7.0m), Son Heung-min (£9.9m), Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m)

Assists: Alli x2, Son, Kane, Jan Vertonghen (£5.2m)

Bonus Points: Kane x3, Vertonghen x2, Son x1

Harry Kane (£10.9m) delivered two goals and his first double-digit haul in 15 matches as Spurs put Burnley to the sword.

The Tottenham captain had managed just one goal from his last four starts prior to Saturday’s fixture, but he added an assist and the maximum bonus award to his brace to hand a season-best 16 points to his 18.3% ownership in Fantasy Premier League.

Rotation issues mean Christmas is rarely the season to be jolly for Fantasy managers. Kane’s untouchable status at his club and the lack of viable alternatives up-front – five-minute wonder Troy Parrott (£4.4m) anyone? – mark him out as a festive exception.

Kane suggested he can get back to his best at Spurs in a big win over Burnley

Even he is unlikely to start all of the next five games, which begins with tough tests against Wolves and Chelsea. But if he shows further evidence that he’s finally relocated his mojo, the run of Brighton, Norwich and Southampton that follows could bring in his New Year with a bang.

Kane certainly ensured Burnley went down with a whimper at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Sean Dyche’s side managed just one attempt on target all match as Spurs overwhelmed them with pace and attacking intent from the off.

The hosts were ahead after just four minutes when Son Heung-min (£9.9m) laid off the ball to Kane and he lashed home a shot from close to 30 yards out.

That could have been the goal of the match, and yet it didn’t come close.

Alli has delivered in every game under Mourinho

Lucas Moura (£7.0m) doubled the advantage five minutes later from close range, with the assist going to the in-form Dele Alli (£8.7m), somewhat fortuitously, as the ball grazed his head before reaching the Brazilian.

But the goal was essentially down to a superb jinking run by Son that carved open Burnley’s backline.

That could have been the run of the match, and yet it didn’t come close either.

Son then set up Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m), who hit the post, before being denied a tap-in when clean through with Alli, who dithered just long enough for the golden chance to go begging.

The South Korean clearly decided he wasn’t going to rely on anyone to get him a goal after that, so he did it all by himself with the run – and goal – of the match after 32 minutes.

Picking up the ball on the edge of his own area, he burst past half the Burnley team on his way into the other box before finishing with ease past the helpless Nick Pope (£4.7m).

Among Spurs players, only Kane is more popular in FPL than Son (17.2%) at present, and he’s clearly enjoying life under Jose Mourinho, with two goals and four assists in the four matches since the Portuguese coach took charge.

The South Korean has proved to be an incredibly reliable Spurs assets since Mourinho took over. Providing both goals and assists, he has averaged 9.3 points per game, while Alli has managed 9.5 per game.

Vertonghen got himself an assist and a clean sheet against Burnley

Jan Vertonghen‘s (£5.2m) tackle diverted the ball to Son to earn him the assist on the wonder goal – the Fantasy equivalent of a brush merchant being given some of the credit for the Mona Lisa. Not that the Belgian’s 1.4% ownership will be complaining as it helped their man to 11 points, nearly half his total of 25 this season.

Sandwiching all of that came Burnley’s chances to make a game of it.

A Robbie Brady (£5.5m) header hit the bar and post before Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) did well to deny Chris Wood‘s (£6.2m) header from the rebound. Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) then had one header comfortably saved by Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.6m) and missed with another when he really should have scored.

And that was pretty much it for the visitors, who went four down nine minutes into the second half when Kane smashed in his second from inside the area. The assist came from Alli, who is another midfielder thriving under Mourinho.

More than 380,000 managers bought into him for Gameweek 16 and, despite a relatively muted display, he still produced nine points and now has three goals and as many assists from Mourinho’s four-match tenure.

Even Sissoko is proving to be an attacking threat these days and he channelled his inner Son when going on a surging run of his own, exchanging passes with his skipper and poking in his second goal in three Gameweeks.

For context, it had taken him four seasons to match that output previously, but such is life for Spurs at present under Mourinho.

Spurs have been completely revitalised under Mourinho

In the four Gameweeks he’s been in charge, only Liverpool can match Spurs for goals (12) and the side has found a real ruthlessness, with a 24% goal conversion rate well beyond the Reds’ 20.3% total.

And, for once, Spurs kept a clean sheet as well – only their second all season. That fact didn’t escape Mourinho in his post-match analysis.

“Yes, I’m very happy with that. I told the boys at half-time that the clean sheet should be a collective ambition, not something that belongs to the goalkeeper or the centre-backs, everybody. I could give an example of Lucas (Moura), he was one of the players further from our goal but his commitment in the defensive process was very strong.”

Serge Aurier (£5.0m) is the most popular asset in the backline, with 6.1% ownership, although rotation is highly likely to bite the full-backs over Christmas, even if the Ivory Coast international has little competition at right-back currently.

Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) are Mourinho’s preferred picks at centre-half and might, just might, stay that way for the rest of this year.

Son’s energy and dynamism has spread around his team-mates since Mourinho arrived

What is not in doubt is the vibrancy and dynamism of Spurs’ attack, with the midweek loss at Manchester United the exception, not the rule.

That suggests even those tricky fixtures against Wolves and Chelsea won’t stop the rush to bring in their offensive assets, with Son, Alli and Kane all in the top five for Gameweek 17 transfers-in at present.

But before we all get drunk on the fumes of Tottenham’s attacking spirit, remembering the quality of the opposition they demolished should sober us up a tad.

Burnley have had a wretched week, losing three straight games by an aggregate score of 11-1 and prompting Dyche to play the injury card post-match.

“We’ve had a really tough week though and we are depleted at the minute. We have as many injuries to key players as I can remember, which doesn’t help. But onwards and upwards; that’s the way it is. We’ve done it before, and we have to continue doing it.”

Burnley have not enjoyed the last few days

On first glance, Burnley’s squad is not so badly off, although stalwarts such as Ashley Barnes (£6.3m) and Ashley Westwood (£5.4m) are currently absent.

And their schedule is pleasant enough, with trips to Bournemouth and Everton and visits from Newcastle, Manchester United and Aston Villa before the FA Cup third round makes its unwelcome Fantasy appearance in early January.

But the present malaise is more than just a week old.

No side has currently conceded more goals than the 20 they’ve shipped over the last eight Gameweeks, and their decidedly underwhelming 9.2 minutes per chance average over that period means the strikers have been over-performing to score the ten goals they’ve managed – a tally that supposedly goal-shy Newcastle have reached from one game fewer.

That should keep most of their players off our Christmas lists unless Dyche – a past master at turning things around – can re-invigorate his troops pretty much immediately.

Instead, it’s Son, Alli and now Kane who are likely to provide us with some festive fun, with maybe a defender or two worth monitoring if the side can continue to embrace Mourinho’s more traditional tastes in the busy weeks ahead.

    1. shawry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just done C now, but Pulisic & Jimi to Son & Rashford, nervous now,

  5. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Auba, Mount and Connolly to Rashford, Tammy and Shelvey for a hit?

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Seen worse.

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yup

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Rather have someone like Traore than Shelvey. He will enjoy TOT and MCI

    4. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I like the Auba and Connoly moves but not sure about Shelvey.

      1. EL tridente
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Shelvey Will not start - already have Grealish as 4th mid

        1. Gentle_Turks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Then if he's your 5th mid go cheap and save the cash? Dendoncker maybe?

          1. EL tridente
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Would play him in GW 18, when my to pool players are on the bench. And would also like to have a good 5th midfielder in the upcoming rotation period

        2. nolard
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Then I would get someone cheaper.

  6. FPL FREAK
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pope. Button.
    Tomori. Kelly. Lundstram. Rico. Lescalles.
    Mane. KDB. Son. Alli. Hayden.
    Vardy. Abraham. Ings.

    2.1 in bnk.

    KDB + Ings > Mount + Kane.....?? (Note 3 spurs assets)

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Kno
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      selling ings before wham at home seems a bit silly

    3. Zreck666
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Total madness

    4. War Cringes
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Crazy

  7. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone keeping an eye on evertons assets frm GW18 onwards??

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Always keeping my eye on potential new signings. Any side. My gaze is constantly on the fpl field like a nerdier Sauron.

      1. 1569Tippins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Nice

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

      Only Richarlison really. Ings’ form probably rules out DCL as an option. Not sure we’ll start keeping clean sheets any time soon, so no defenders worth it currently.

    4. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No, I’m ignoring them... but I’ve also ignored Tottenham assets, so don’t listen to me

  8. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Finally given in and bought Vardy. Hope I break him cos I'm not gonna captain him, sorry, not sorry.

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Lol

  9. the vanisher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus & Jimenez OUT
    for
    Tammy and Rashford IN

    For free. no brainer right?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Do it

    2. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Jimmy fair enough

      Jesus could easily score seven vs arsenal though - risky

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Fair point, but could Aguero feature?

    4. nolard
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would.

  10. Snooze ya lose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Missed out on 3 weeks of kelly points now. Who should I bench?

    Pope (Martin)
    Taa, soy, lund (kelly, Rico)
    Mane, kdb, mount, son (cantwell)
    Rashford, vardy, Tammy

    1. Eleven Hag

  11. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    God, I got Zaha in last week without any background checks. I never do that.. always eye test.
    I'm seeing him being put down a lot on here, was it a terrible mistake? I think someone said b4 he hasnt even had a shot in two games lol, the previous week they only had ten men so im counting that as an anomaly, he shouldnt be judged on. My plan is to keep him until new years day...

    He surely will get returns in these fixtures right

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just sell him. Get Grealish in

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        4 yellow cards would put me off. Another in week 17 and sits out 18

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha is a trap but no one listened 😉

      1. nolard
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        this.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      🙁 no zaha love, but his fixtures. I could get at least a goal or two in those

  12. Noé Pamarot
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Evening all. How are we looking here? No Spurs mid is killing me...

    Pope Button
    TAA Aurier Lundstram Diop Rico
    Mane KDB Maddison Pulisic Saka
    Vardy Ings Rashford

    0.4ITB

    1. Prepare for 18 and improve bench. Get rid of Diop for say Cahill.
    2. Reasons as above in point 1 but Saka for a playing 4.5.
    3. KDB to Son or Alli.
    4. Save

    Cheers in advance!

    Jiménez KDB to Rashford Son for -4? Or just one for free- if so which one?

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Done for a hit hour ago

  15. Lemongrab
    • 14 Years

    Selling KDB before Arsenal seems like a disaster waiting to happen...

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Im keeping

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years

      yeah but can see the temptation in KDB>Son

      1. Lemongrab
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Well that's exactly what I'm contemplating. Would have to be tonight for me too so risky. Think KDB scores more gw17 but Son gw18 so could even out

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I will wait one week atleast, gotta give kDB the arsenal game and he passes the eye test

          1. Lemongrab
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            If you're not going to be constrained by price that's probably sensible

    3. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Can’t wait and keep forever

    4. nolard
      • 9 Years

      keeping.
      he was very good last game.

      1. Lemongrab
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He's almost always good but it doesn't necessarily translate into fpl returns

        1. Atimis
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          That’s why I’ve decided to sell, enough is enough

  16. Henning
    • 9 Years

    Hmmm. KDB about to drop in Price and Grealish gets a lot of new owners.
    Is it time to go without city player?

  17. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    hmmm something I didnt consider at all, can I just sell Mane for Son on his blank and just have no pool mid for xmas, instead alli and son double.

    1. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      GW18 Liverpool blank is a pain, but I don't think it's smart to go without any of their attack.

  18. FPL_Crisis

    Everyone rushing to bin KdB and Jimenez to get in Rashford and Alli/Son yet both United and Spurs have tough fixtures next while KdB plays Arsenal and Jimenez playing at home.

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years

      Don’t care, kept them for now and it only cost me points, one can find excuses every other week going forward

    2. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      UTD have a tough fixture? At home to Everton? After the way they played against Spurs and City?

      1. Better Call Raul

      2. The Ejiptian King

  22. Gaddafi

    There's an old saying on FFScout: "hits for kids".

    I see a lot of people this season, in particular, who are not following by this rule and are taking hits on a regular basis. What's the deal with this, do people seriously think they can tactically maneuver a hit?

    No matter what you're taking the hit for, it's very rare that it'll actually be the optimal play. Many times using 1 transfer of a different player will work out better with the 4 pts advantage.

      they can work out if you good with eye test imo, most of my hits paid off this season. But, that said, less hits its better imo.

      In fact one of the best ways to play FPL is to play it in two week cycles, and having a playing bench to cover any issues. Always save your first FT so you have two to play with. So yea ofc set your team up for the gw, but only moves in 2 week cycles, give players more time and you for better decisions.

      You are spouting some weird junk today.

      I dont think I've ever heard anyone say that.

      Generally you are right, but obvious hits to upgrade have been fruitful to me. I’ve taken two -8 this season both times benefited 6-10 points better off.

        1. El Matador
          • 10 Years

          That's irrelevant. I've taken hits and had green arrows. You're argument is flawed.

          1. Gaddafi

            Your*

            Yes but have you totaled up the difference? Overall you have lost points on your hits, representing an inefficient use of hits. Even godlike players like yourself can't avoid the trap of hits. If you didn't make hits then you'd be ranked higher.

                        Yesterday I said I was born in Libya, from Syria and living in North Korea.

                        If you can't see that's a joke then god have mercy on your pitiful soul.

                        So do you live in North Korea or America? Or are they both the same places in your strange mind?

              20 points worth of hits. The 20 pointer from Vardy v Soton paid all them hits off alone.

                    He was telling all and sundry how vardy was blanking 10 mins in earlier.

                    We can't all hope to have that level of insight.

                    1. Gaddafi
                      • 4 Years
                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      Wrong! I said the bookmakers' odds on Vardy scoring were drifting at an alarming rate. Said it as someone who has Vardy (C).

                    2. have you seen cyan

  23. Henning

    Would you consider to get Kelly in even of you have Guaita?

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    2. Gaddafi
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I don't really see how it'd make a difference.

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You get 4 points for a defender clean sheet.

        1. Gaddafi
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          He's not talking about swapping Kelly with Guaita. Guaita is a GK if you haven't noticed.

          The fact that they're on the same team doesn't really make a difference, if he wants Kelly then he should get Kelly.

          1. Henning
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Maby go for Kelly but not shure of i Will get Kelly in for Rico or get Kelly and Rashford in for TAA and Mousset?

          2. Gentle_Turks
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years

            Ok, don't get your knickers in a twist...

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Given decent fixtures, I dont see why not.

      Only 2 really bad looking fixtures through to gw 30.

    4. Henning
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I could do Kelly and Rashford in for TAA and Mousset.

      But dont know if it Will pay off.

      Or just do Kelly in for Rico.

    5. have you seen cyan

  24. Big Hands Barry

    Jiminez + Pukki --> Abraham + Ings (-4) ? Yay or any?

  25. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Got 2 ft but triple pool.
    This week thinking
    Tomori and Stephens to
    Kelly and Traore.
    I could then hold all 3 pool players on bench for 18.
    Better ideas? currently .5 ITB

    Guaita

    Robbo TAA Lundstram

    Mane KDB Son Tielmans

    Vardy Abraham Ings

    McGovern Soy Tomori

    1. Gaddafi

        WC gone in GW3 🙂

        1. Gaddafi
          • 4 Years

          Wow you've really snookered yourself so.

    2. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      looks a solid plan in my opinion

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not critical to make the 2 moves this week but already lost .1 sv on Tomori this week and only .1 to spare.
        I could always lose 1 of pool defenders for GW18 for free. At least 1 bench in that scenario?

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

    Evening all.

    Anyone on for 100 this week? Must be some?

    Main question, when is everyone who still has it using their WC?

    1. Gaddafi
      • 4 Years

      prob last week i dont need it tbh

      WC in W18 for the Liv blank

  27. Wensink
    • 6 Years

    What % of players have already used their bench boost? Thinking about using it this GW.

  28. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Got a strange feeling that Mane will play CL, Salah will be rested and then Salah play EPL and Mane rested. Klopp is rotating now so not out of the question...

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think both will play both games.

  29. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    A) KDB to Son
    B) Zaha to Grealish
    C) Tomori to Kelly

    1. Gaddafi
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      b and c

    2. Bruno Bruno!!

    3. Gentle_Turks

    Which combo is likely to get more points next GW?

    A) KDB and Jimenez
    B) Rashford and Maddison or Dilva

    1. Gaddafi
      • 4 Years
