Scout Reports

What can FPL managers expect from new West Ham midfielder Jarrod Bowen?

One of the biggest deals of the January transfer window saw Jarrod Bowen move from Hull City to West Ham United for a reported £22m.

The versatile winger, 23, signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Hammers on deadline day and could be poised to make his debut in Gameweek 26, having not arrived in time to be eligible to face Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend.

Price up by Fantasy Premier League as a £6.5m midfielder, Bowen moves to east London with a reputation for scoring goals: the ex-Hull prospect had found the back of the net on 16 occasions in 29 Championship appearances this season before his big-money move.

Bowen spent a lot of his time as an inverted winger on the right flank at the KCOM Stadium but has also deputised as an auxiliary centre-forward and in ‘the hole’, which presents him with a number of different routes into the Hammers’ starting XI.

Upon Bowen’s capture, West Ham manager David Moyes said:

We are delighted to welcome Jarrod to West Ham United. I think he could be a big success.

He’s probably what you’d call a wide forward these days, or perhaps an old-fashioned inside-right. He has played a couple of games as a second centre forward or as a no.10.

When you score goals like he does, and in the numbers he does, in the Championship, it will give you a great chance of scoring goals in the Premier League. We were attracted to the goals he has scored over the years; not just in one year, but over the last three years.

The player himself said:

I know this is the next step at another level. People expect me to score and I’ve put myself in that position. It’s a challenge I relish and one I’m looking forward to because scoring goals in the Premier League and winning games for this club would be unbelievable.

The fans will always see 110 per cent when I play, and I think that’s the main thing – and then with everything else, I just try to excite people and get people off their seats.

What can we Fantasy managers expect from Bowen in the remaining third of 2019/20, then?

The History and Statistics

Born in December 1996, Bowen was knocked back by Aston Villa and Cardiff City in trials as a youth.

He began his career in earnest with local club Hereford United, progressing through the academy side and into the first-team set-up at the tender age of 17.

The young attacking midfielder made eight Conference Premier (now National League) appearances at the back-end of the 2013/14 season, scoring once and helping the struggling Bulls to survival – although his hometown club were subsequently expelled from the division for financial reasons.

Bowen then made the move to Hull in July 2014, although featured only for the under-18s and under-21s in his first two campaigns on Humberside.

Finally making his Tigers debut in August 2016 in an EFL Cup tie, Bowen went on to make seven Premier League appearances (as a £4.5m FPL forward) as first Mike Phelan and then Marco Silva were unable to prevent Hull from dropping into the second tier.

The 2017/18 campaign was Bowen’s breakthrough season as he immediately established himself as a first-team regular under Leonid Slutsky, consolidating his place in the starting XI even after the Russian had departed.

Bowen was an ever-present last season (only one of his 46 league run-outs came as a substitute) and was again integral to the Hull side in 2019/20, not missing a single minute of Championship football until his move to east London in late-January.

The new West Ham midfielder made 124 league appearances for the Tigers in total, scoring on 52 occasions.

    I think FPL changed the Mane flag from 25% chance of playing to 75% very recently. Has there been any new signs of comments of him being likely to start - I haven't seen anything..?

      Think I will still start him since the upside is very real. That is if I don't take a -4 to sell him.

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This suggests nothing
        I will still start mane though

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane playing 90 and Salah rested would cause a FFS meltdown

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Just saw a rumour about exactly that! Would cause chaos!

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'd log on just to see the scenes (Salah owner (vc), no Mane)

  2. RossoneriHammer

    Wild card team, reckon its ok?

    Pope McCarthy
    Boly O'Connell TAA Perreira Lascelles
    Mahrez Salah KDB Barnes Jorginho
    Ings Firmino Jiminez

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No WC needed

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mooy instead of Jorginho.

  3. Henryyy

    A or B lads?

    A Martial -> Mahrez
    B Lundstram -> O'Connell

    Cheers

      A

    2. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      wait, is Mahrez back in favour? I am planning to ship him out next week

      1. AC2077
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling sounds like he won't play, so Mahrez looks a decent shout

    3. Kuzser
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same question, but with an option Alli-> Mahrez. Leaning towards B in your case. ManU play well vs big 6

  4. Lukakwho
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Tanganga nailed in the slightest?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Seems to be, someone was saying that he plays the tough games only which seems a bit odd.

    2. avfc82

      No, not at all, especially with Ben Davies close to returning.

    3. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Davies is back in traning so he might take the spot soon

  5. Aubamewho

    Play one ?
    A) Grealish
    B) Traore

    My Forwards are Firmino, Ings & Vardy, would you do Vardy -> Jimenez for a hit or just keep Vardy for the upcoming decent fixtures?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep

      1. FirminoIsBetterThanYou

        Yeah that's my thinking, thanks for the reply

        These are in my current team!

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't pick any of them this week - sold D and am benching B&C

          1. Champions League Varane
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            A+E then?

            Have no other options lol

            1. HashAttack
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Think I would still opt for D ahead of E ... nice to have someone playing in the last game of the week instead of the first.

              I sold Williams because of lack of games and fixtures and don't have a need for him till 33

    2. FourLokoLeipzig

      Grealish at home against Spurs, no way I’m benching him!

      Looks good for this week.

      But what are you doing Gw28? 3 City players and 1 SHU player.

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

        Aguero to Vardy and then Mahrez to someone

        1. Flynny
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I like a lot mate

        2. AC2077
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Solid plan

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Like the Dohery punt, was tempted myself. Nice team

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Very nice indeed

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      strong, first team in a long team I've not seen with any shef def. They're value, Doh at least has attacking threat.

  12. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Where to use 1.5m on this WC team?

    Henderson • Pope
    TAA • VVD • Stevens • Stephens • Fernandez
    Salah • KDB • Fleck • Traore • Barnes
    Jiminez • Ings • Aguero

    1. AC2077
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Save the 1.5 for now

      That's a brill team imo

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers yeah could just save, will prob downgrade Aguero to Vardy for GW28 and maybe upgrade a mid then.

        1. AC2077
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'd roll two transfers for that week.

          Could do KDB to Son or something for GW28 if need be.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Perfect

        Cheers

    3. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good - what formation are you planning to play?

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Depends on fixtures but 343 with fleck benched.

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'm playing Fleck and benching Traore this week (would be doing so even without the flag)

          I'm not sold on the double Liverpool defence and 3-4-3 ... think there are enough other good defenders to have TAA + 2 others - with 3-4-3 I think it makes more sense to spend a bit more in midfield, but who to upgrade?

          Iv'e got Salah, KDB, Son + either Fleck or Traore - front 3 are Aguero, Firmino and Ings

  13. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    One of the best things I have found about playing my wildcard next week is that I don't need to think any more about when I need to play my wildcard!

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That should read that "One of the best things I have found about playing my wildcard LAST week is that I don't need to think any more about when I need to play my wildcard!!

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve not even thought about playing my WC as I’m happy with my squad. Definitely could come in handy later though after GW29 we will have so much more information.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I accept that. But I hated my team and it was in a mess with my season going nowhere

        20 points up from 1 week - although recognise I may have difficulties later on !

  14. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Punt time... 2 FTs - Vardy and Lundstram out, Kun & O'Connell in.
    Next GW Kun to Jimmy for Norwich at home. GW after Grealish to in-form Leicester mid for a guaranteed XI on the pitch.

    YAY or NAY?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yay

  15. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Tempted to move Snoddy to Barnes with FT but with my back line I think a defensive move is more of a priority this week, any thoughts ? Really hoping Montoya starts but no guarantees.

    Henderson (Ryan)
    Lundy*, Montoya*, Trent
    Traore, Snoddy, KDB, Salah
    Kun (C), Vardy, Ings
    (Soy, D.Luiz, Hanley)

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd prioritise a defensive move.

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Evening Tom, don't see you on here this late very often ! Yes I think you are right. Barnes can wait for now. It was him or Traore last week to enable Kun, not sure I made the right choice but we shall see. How's your team shaping up this week ?

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, not been able to jump on as often recently, unfortunately!

          I'm in a similar position this week. I'd like to move Hayden > Barnes, or even Vardy > Aguero, but need to focus on my defence which is currently Trent, Lundstram and Mariappa, with Soyuncu and Hanley on the bench. I have £4m in the bank so will most likely move for Robertson, but have considered Bertrand too.

          Will prob make a call tomorrow.

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

            My defence is an absolutely mess as well but I feel like Vardy > Aguero(C) for free is too good to pass up, I'll probably WC next week anyway.

            1. Dr Mulholland
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I really would like stuff Barnes into my team.

            2. avfc82
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I can do that move, but it messes me up for a few weeks, especially at the back, and I'm not ready to WC yet. Good luck tho!

            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Nice one, makes sense, you have excellent discipline not to go for Kun this week 🙂 You not tempted by a SHU defender ? It's most likely Bertrand or Stevens for me. I just trust SHU defence a little more though so may just opt for Stevens and hope Montoya plays in 28, risky I know but not that fussed about the blank.

            1. avfc82
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah I need someone who plays GW28, so has to be Robertson or Bertrand.

              1. TLF
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Well both great options aren't they. GL mate.

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would be tempted to play Söyüncü and Luiz, and make the Snodgrass switch.

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I presume it's the Villa midfielder he owns, not David Luiz.

        1. Dr Mulholland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yes probably.. I missed that.

          1. avfc82
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            Easily done, confused me too on first glance.

      2. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry I should have been clearer, yes it's Villa mid as suggested below.

      I'd get rid of at least Lund, Rico or Kelly

      2 of them aren't starters and Rico .. well that BOU defence...

      And move Martial on

          haha ..Up to you. But I'd consider it at least.

          But I think that defence is costing you big time and come GW28, your midfield and strikeforce doens't look too hot.

        I don't understand the amount of people starting Lund at all.

    Hi guys.

    KDB Salah (c) Son (vc) Fleck
    Firmino Ings Jimmy
    Button Grealish Lund Williams

    -8 taken. 2.8ITB

    Plan to bring in Boly for Lund and Barnes for Grealish in 27 (-4) and then Mane for KDB and Vardy for Firmino 28 (-4) depending on Mane fitness and whether Vardy has regained some form by then. Love a hit and got me it’s time to play hard or give up.

    Thoughts? Thanks.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All the hits put me off but then if your shipping out blankers you should be able to bank on a quick payback. And you do say you love a hit so in that case, looks a decent plan.

    Feel like giving Lundstram one last chance and whilst I know quite a few will say Martial has to go I'm keen to keep for now.

    Appreciate any thoughts.

    A) Soy to Lacselles
    B) Trossard/Grealish to Traore/Barnes
    C) Something else?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I love B.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Which combo? Or are you saying do both?

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Trossard to Barnes this week and as you don’t like a hit, Grealish to Traore next week.

          1. waldo666
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers mate, have 2 FTs though so could do both this week for free.

            1. Forever In Our Shadow
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              No brainer for me. Only thought would be Luny. Do you really feel comfortable playing him when he is looking like the fall guy for the new recruits?

              1. waldo666
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Wouldn't say comfortable as I reckon if he doesn't start a cameo is on the cards, had him since day dot and finding it hard to let him go!

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I kinda wish that I'd given Lundstram one more week.

      Trossard to Barnes looks a no brainer.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, sorta wanted to give Trossard Watford at home as I have not long brought him in, probably just as likely to be benched knowing my luck though.

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I think Watford will get something at Brighton. Nice football isn’t everything imo. I think they will get dragged deep in the mire very soon.

          1. waldo666
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            You could well be right there.

        2. Dr Mulholland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Brighton have got some talented players. I just don't trust their manager to keep a settled team for a run of games.

  30. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    My plan was always to start shifting money back to defense around now, and with Kelly and Lundstram in my team, it seems like a good time. What are your thoughts on Aurier?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Meh. Not for me.

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Aurier has a red card in him at any time. Wouldn't want to own him.

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        apparently so does Son, but thanks--I'll steer clear.

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      swap for another SHU defender (i've gone for O'Connell). would rather someone like Boly than Aurier

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        BGW 28 looming so not excited about an other SHU defender, especially as I was thinking of selling Kelly first and holding Lund for one more. However, I could do a Wolves defender; I think I can stretch to Doherty even.

        1. Dr Mulholland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I have Doherty and do like his attacking threat. However now that Boly is back, he seems to be at an even more attractive price.

        2. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. BOU BHA fixtures though could still offer clean sheets/points
