Scout Notes

Manchester United set to face under-strength Blades defence in Gameweek 31+

Newcastle United 3-0 Sheffield United

  • Goals: Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m), Matt Ritchie (£5.3m), Joelinton (£5.5m)
  • Assists: Ritchie, Isaac Hayden (£4.4m), Miguel Almiron (£5.8m)
  • Bonus: Ritchie x3, Saint-Maximin x2, Hayden, Federico Fernandez (£4.6m) x1

Newcastle United completed a home-and-away double over ten-man Sheffield United on Sunday and ensured that the Blades’ Gameweek 30+ double-header ended on a sour note.

The Magpies’ Matt Ritchie (£5.3m) scored more Fantasy Premier League points than the whole of Chris Wilder’s squad combined on Tyneside as the visitors slumped to their heaviest defeat of 2019/20.

It was a bit of a disaster from the release of the teamsheets onwards, with the widely owned John Lundstram (£4.9m) only named among the substitutes to accommodate John Fleck‘s (£5.0m) return in central midfield.

A tedious affair that was plodding towards what seemed like an inevitable goalless draw was then turned on its head by John Egan’s (£4.6m) dismissal shortly after half-time, with the Blades’ clean sheet going up in smoke minutes later.

It wasn’t just Egan’s lapse of judgement that proved costly for Wilder’s side, with an uncharacteristic error from Enda Stevens (£5.2m) leading to Allan Saint-Maximin‘s (£5.4m) deadlock-breaking goal.

Even Dean Henderson (£5.3m), it could be argued, ought to have done better with the French winger’s opener.

Goals from Ritchie and Joelinton (£5.5m) rounded off Newcastle’s biggest win of the season as the visitors, usually so adept in their wing-back system, struggled to adjust to life in an Egan-less back four.

Some may think of Sheffield United as being greater than the sum of their parts, with the system so ingrained that the players within it are of secondary importance.

Replacing two or three cogs in the machine at the same time presents a big challenge, however, given how often Henderson and his regular back five have played together this season.

We have yet to learn whether Jack O’Connell (£4.7m) will be fit for Wednesday night’s match at Old Trafford (Wilder gave out mixed messages on the injury last week) but Egan and Henderson will definitely be missing through suspension and ineligibility respectively.

Phil Jagielka (£4.1m) and Simon Moore (£4.3m), who are poised to fill in for those two players, made their one and only Premier League starts of the season in the reverse fixture at Bramall Lane in November and the Blades promptly conceded three goals for the first (and only, until Sunday) time in 2019/20.

While grossly unfair to lay the blame of that Gameweek 13 capitulation at Jagielka and Moore’s doors, there is no doubt that Manchester United – and owners of their Fantasy assets – will fancy facing a patched-up Blades defence more than a full-strength one.

If there is one thing we can likely guarantee in Gameweek 31+, however, it’s that Wilder will get a reaction from his players after an underwhelming display at St James Park.

A seething Sheffield United boss said after full-time:

People will look at the goals conceded today and will ask how we managed the amount of clean sheets this season and to be defensively tight.

We all need to sharpen up and tighten up. If we don’t, it’ll be a long five weeks. We’ve got a huge game on Wednesday night. We just want the overall performance to be better than what it is.

They were poor goals from our point of view. We looked a bit sorry for ourselves late on and that’s what disappoints me. We haven’t got a long time and I didn’t enjoy that, and the players understand that as well.

Wilder continued:

The players need to give themselves a shake. We have to play at our maximum to get a result in this division.

I’m sick and tired of people talking about Europe and the Champions League.

It’s about working in the present and the present is that we’ve put in two bang-average performances this week.

Martin Dubravka (£5.1m) wasn’t made to work hard for his clean sheet, with the Slovakian goalkeeper forced into just one easy save all game.

A 58th-minute Billy Sharp (£5.6m) header was as close as the visitors came to ruining Newcastle’s shut-out but the veteran striker nodded off-target from close range.

No side can better the Magpies’ record of seven clean sheets and 12 goals conceded in home fixtures this season and there could be more joy to be had in the next three Gameweeks, with struggling Aston Villa, Bournemouth and West Ham United up next – two of whom have to make the trip to St James Park.

Federico Fernandez (£4.6m) for once didn’t supplement his clean sheet with a trademark bonus point (although he came mighty close to doing so) and it was instead Ritchie who stole the show from Newcastle’s crop of FPL defenders.

Deployed ‘out of position’ on the right of midfield for the third match running, the Scotland international supplied the assist for Saint-Maximin’s opener (thanks to a helping hand from Stevens) and rocketed the Magpies into a 2-0 lead midway through the second half, beating Henderson from distance.

First on penalties (although he did miss from the spot in Gameweek 29) and a regular taker of set plays, Ritchie is certainly an eye-catching prospect in a side that has already hit double figures for clean sheets in 2019/20.

The price will put some managers off and there is the chance of rotation with the pacier Valentino Lazaro (£5.4m) waiting in the wings but, following Sunday’s display, he surely holds the upper hand for now.

The sight of the much-maligned Joelinton hitting the back of the net capped off a perfect afternoon for the Magpies, with the Brazilian having earlier wasted a big opening in trademark fashion with the game goalless.

Saint-Maximin dazzled down the left, too, as Bruce’s new 4-2-3-1 formation gave his attacking players the platform to flourish.

The three worst Premier League defences in 2020 are up next for the Magpies but Fantasy managers would be forgiven for thinking that they need a bit more evidence to suggest that Newcastle are now a potent offensive threat, given that their last four goals have all been scored against ten men.

Still, Bruce was looking on the positive side at full-time:

We tried to change at Leicester [earlier in the season], but the one thing I detected very quickly is that they weren’t ready for change. With the experience I’d like to think I’ve got, I just said, ‘Why do I change it? Let them be comfortable’.

But the time came when I thought our big players at the top end of the pitch weren’t becoming a threat in the final third. They were working so hard for the team, but we had lost that little bit of counter-attacking threat.

I didn’t think we were a big enough threat, so the time was right to change. It’s proven at the moment that they’re enjoying it, and we’re certainly more of a threat. We scored three against West Brom in the cup tie and scored three again today. So things are looking up.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Manquillo, Fernandez, Lascelles, Rose, Hayden, Shelvey (Schar 85′), Ritchie (Yedlin 90′), Saint-Maximin (Bentaleb 79′), Almiron (Lazaro 85′), Joelinton (Carroll 79′).

Sheffield United XI: Henderson, Basham, Egan, Robinson, Baldock, Berge (Lundstram 66′), Norwood, Fleck (L. Freeman 74′), Stevens, Sharp (Zivkovic 74′), McBurnie (K. Freeman 85′).

    Ritchie (DEF - 5.3)

    PROS:
    - Penalty Taker
    - Direct Free Kick Taker
    - Corner Taker
    - Play as Winger
    - Great Fixture for Rest of Season
    - Newcastle Defense has Great Form
    - Best Key Pass / Game for Newcastle
    - 3rd Best Shot / Game for Newcastle
    - Great Punt
    - Good Value for Attacking Defender (Compared to TAA, Robertson, Digne, Doherty, Alonso, PVA, Azpilicueta)

    CONS:
    - It is Newcastle

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      the other con is he's a huge 1pt risk

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Another heavy con is that he's 5.3m. That's an annoying price for a defender when you can get a ridiculously strong budget defense of Saiss, Lascelles, Kiko, Holgate, Taylor who all cost less than 4.3m.

      1. Cak Juris
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        But....but...but... you don't say it to TAA and Doherty

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          They're more proven and play for better teams.

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Taa is Gold.
          Doherty is turning into gold

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Cons sway it

    4. Najoman86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hard to justify the £ spend on a Newcastle defender. Would look to either Lascelles or Fernandez for value and utilise spare cash elsewhere.

      Would agree that Ritchie has a lot going for him as a possible selection though

      1. Cak Juris
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Same thing, why you choose TAA instead of Van Dijk? Doherty instead of Boly?

        1. Najoman86
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Track records. TAA & Doherty are proven/have returned throughout the season. Ritchie recorded his first attacking returns for the season against the Blades

          1. Cak Juris
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Ritchie Track Record:
            2019/2020: 1 goal / 1 assist
            2018/2019: 2 goals / 8 assists (EPL)
            2017/2018: 3 goals / 7 assists (EPL)
            2016/2017: 12 goals / 8 assists (Championship)
            2015/2016: 4 goals / 8 assists (EPL)

            Time will tell.....

    5. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Great fixtures?

      34 on has Liverpool and City and 3 other teams likely to have plenty to play for. Spurs and Watford are really dangerous oppo at the business end of the season.

      Reasonable call

    6. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Would you take him on FH ahead of Maguire & Chilwell? Currently on Maguire but no 100% sold on him.

  2. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who would you rather have for this GW only?
    A) Son
    B) Rashford
    C) Jiminez

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rashford.

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C

    3. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why just the one? All 3 are probably top priority.

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I only have 2FT and limited funds

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

      All 3 frankly! Think they will all score well - if forced to pick one then probably Son for his explosiveness, extra point for a goal, etc

    5. Oggle22
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Son or Vardy the choice for me

    6. Adsequor
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C

    7. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jimi at home to BOU

    8. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers all, think Ill go for Jimi

  3. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On my wildcard. Who are the necessary gk defenders mids and strikers to bring in that I can keep for the rest of the season. Currently Pope TAA Azpi Salah KDB
    Jimi

    1. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Add Fernandes and you are there imo

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Doherty
      Son
      Rashford
      Bruno

  4. Mid-table options for the run in
    Sam FPLFamily
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    The mid table sides that many FPL Managers often ignore at this time of the season all started well in Gameweek 30+ with wins for Newcastle, Palace and Southampton and a draw for Everton. These sides also offer some nice, in some cases very cheap, enablers. Who are you looking at for the rest of the season? Lascelles? Ritchie? Ings? Ayew? Someone else? Or ignoring them all together?

    1. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Inb4 the HT 😀

      Got cash itb from shifting Aguero and Pepe, but currently thinking of prioritising DCL over Rashford and Son. He looks the most dangerous of the 3 despite his price, and has Norwich up next. At 6.5, likely a season keeper

      1. Sam FPLFamily
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Interesting, who will you have up top alongside him?

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Jimenez is going nowhere and unfortunately Auba needs to stay because I don't have WC. Auba to Rashford pencilled in after milking as many points out of Norwich as possible

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      There aren’t so many premiums you need really.

      You can easily go without Auba Aguero Salah Mane Sterling due to either bad fixtures or rotation concerns.

      United, Wolves, Chelsea & Spurs assets aren’t that expensive.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Which means you haven’t got to scrape the barrel for the players in the teams in the OP.

      2. Sam FPLFamily
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You’re right, the midfield mid price bracket looks great

    3. DD
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lascelles, Holgate and Kiko are the ones I would look at as enablers.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      You don't need enablers though at the end this season.

      I'm looking at people's front 7s and they can fit basically everyone they want in. Would you really get a Palace or Newcastle player over Fernandes or Son? DCL and Ings are also clearly strong options and they're cheap. No need to take risks on an Ayew or Saint Maximin.

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        In def I would(and did) Owned CP and NEWC def this week.

      2. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        S I should keep DCL and Ings then? I was looking to upgrade one of them. Jiminez is the third forward

      3. Sam FPLFamily
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You’ll need at least one for the bench though as can’t play all 8 at once and defenders like TAA and Doherty look like musts so at least one cheap asset in the midfield or forward spots looks like a must - one less benching headache too!

      4. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        DCL and Ings are mid table enablers

    5. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lacelles & Ward with 7 CS combined in last 8 GW's.

      Ings & Ayew punching way above their weight. If their teams score they are mostly involved and love BPS.

    6. bencaraway
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm thinking that DCL could be my 3rd striker (with Rashford and Jiminez) - some great fixtures to the end of the season

    7. bencaraway
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      And Lascelles is my nailed down defender # 5

      1. Sam FPLFamily
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah he’s one of mine too, I’ll be keeping him for sure

    8. french holiday
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Armstrong

    9. Tickle Me Enzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Trying to decide between Ings & DCL for 3rd striker spot.

  5. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Pope
    TAA Saiss Taylor
    Salah KDB Fernandes Barnes
    Vardy Jimenez DCL
    McCarthy Saka Tanganga Egan
    2.1m in the bank

    Vardy to Rashford seems like the move?

    Want son but can't get him without losing Salah (not prepared to lose Fernandes or KDB)?

  6. Sotamendi84
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    best combo:
    a) son + saiss
    b) alli + doherty

    alli same points with son with fewer minutes

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If you think Alli is same as Son it's definitely B.
      As Doherty is not same as Saiss at all

    3. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Haha - i was literally about to post this!! Really tough decision - Alli looked great under Mourinho but what puts me off slightly is he's likely to play a little further back now Kane is back as he was basically playing false 9 in his absence which perhaps bumped his returns slightly - it does concern me not having Doherty though. At the moment i have Son & Saiss.

  7. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Has Cathcart lost his place?

  8. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On WC,which combo's the best?

    a) Pope & Doh

    b) Patricio & 4.6 def

    Thanx

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Bogisa
      • 4 Years

      Def A

  9. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Feel like I need to get Trent back in. Was horrible watching without him yest. Going to have to take a .4 loss on him though.... shouldve kept!

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Better late than never

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      As an owner it’s great to see him stood over the free kicks.

  10. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years

    Best keeper to put in my team and keep in it until the end off the season?

    1. Rhinos

      ddg

    2. BNMC
      • 4 Years

      Patricio.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rui
      Ederson
      Pope
      Dubra

  11. Rhinos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    rmfht's are the worst. If you can't cobble together 11 or 12 players with a decent chance of points in one game week then you really should be switching to another hobby

  12. Adsequor
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bench one.

    A) Soyuncu
    B) Boly
    C) Barnes
    D) Ings

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

      Very tough but I'd say A

  13. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who on a free hit?
    TAA and Lascelles, or Ritchie and VVD

    1. Adsequor
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      TAA and Lascelles

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      TAA is default
      Lascelles

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A by lots

  14. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best combo for next few gw's

    1) Doherty + Sarr or
    2) Aurier (or Saiss) + Martial

    leaning towards 2 as it feels more imp to have 2 utd attackers than doherty

    A) Maguire + Doherty + Sarr + Rashford vs.
    B) Holgate + Aurier + Son + Martial

    leaning towards A its more rounded. Son > Sarr is a big difference (and risk given Son's popularity) but the other 3 players are marginally better in option A

    1. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1 so A

  15. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on Son captain? Looks like the choice will be between Son, Salah/Mane and Rashford/Fernandes for me. Mane may not start but I think Salah should. I am a little afraid to captain him though. Thoughts?

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

      Moyes will make things annoying for Spurs but they should still score a few, and you imagine Son will be involved.

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      there is virtually zero chance of Mane not starting

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This

      2. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        in fact way higher chance of Salah not starting as we don't know how honest Klopp is being bout his fitness

      3. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Oh they play Man City on 2nd July, I thought this weekend. So yeah, that makes difference, but I still think he may be subbed early.

        1. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          with the new 5 sub rule everyone is at risk of that, pointless considering it

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Son isn’t trustworthy enough for the armband

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        True streaky player.

      Jimi for me, he looked sharpish, Wolves looked like they were on cruise control at West Ham in the second half and Bournemouth are even worse. Son is vice for me, I think he'll do well but Spurs looked a lot rustier than Wolves.

        Oh and I have Salah in my WC draft but no idea as to is minutes against Palace so not captainable. Palace won't be pushovers either.

          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Oh right, forgot about Jimi. Thanks for the opinion. Maybe Mane then?

          1. Phil's Stamps
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Mane would be my 3rd choice behind Jimi and Son.

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Or Alonso, he was so close to a couple yesterday.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sarr / Barnes / ASM better picks than Mount

  22. Cak Juris

    Will Salah play for GW 31+?

  24. GUSFRING
    • 9 Years

    Pope - Martin
    TAA - Doherty - Saiss - Fernandez - Kiko
    Bergwijn - Mane - Fernandes - KDB - Saint-Maximim
    Rashford - Jimi - DCL

    I can’t fit DCL and Son into my team so this looks like the next best thing...

    Morning everyone.
    If I bring in Rashford and Jimenez into my squad for GW31 but then decide to play my Free Hit will Rashford and Jota be in my squad for GW32?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No. Don't make the same mistake as everyone last week.

    2. HTL
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Only if you take a -4 for GW32...

    3. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Only if Rashford and Jota were in your GW30 squad, any transfers made after that deadline will be cancelled when you use FH.

      1. John Colby (Capt)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    On WC and need to make to final decisions.

    1) Best 2 from Maguire Aurier Ritchie

    2) Son or Vardy

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Aurier and best don't go hand in hand.
      So Maguire Ritchie

      Sonny boy

    2. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1) Maguire and Aurier
      2) Son

    3. Fernandito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1) Maguire & Ritchie
      2) Son

  27. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    De Gea
    Justin TAA Doherty
    Traore Son Mane Fernandes
    Vardy Rashford Jimenez

    FH, GTG?? really want DCL or Ings but not sure worth losing any of current front 3

  28. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Has Jeremy Ngakia (West Ham, 4.0) got reasonable security of starts until the end of the season?

  29. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Backline of TAA Doherty Ritchie, even if they concede still hope of returns so you don't get as frustrated...

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ritchie is on pens too

  30. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which is best on WC? Template or not? All the usual picks elsewhere pretty much

    A. Rashford+DCL+Guendouzi (3-4-3)
    B. Vardy+ASM+Nketiah (3-5-2)

    1. StoichkovFPL
