Scout Notes

What next for Aubameyang after double-digit haul hots up Golden Boot race?

Arsenal 4-0 Norwich

  • Goals: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang x2 (£11.0m), Granit Xhaka (£5.1m), Cédric Soares (£4.8m)
  • Assists: Aubameyang
  • Bonus Points: Aubameyang x3, Xhaka x2, Hector Bellerín x1 (£5.4m)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) finally rewarded his patient owners with two goals, an assist and a double-digit haul in Gameweek 32+.

Faith in the Arsenal forward had ebbed away since the Premier League restart, especially after blanks against Brighton and Southampton.

However, if Aubameyang and his 24% ownership were rather unlucky in Gameweeks 30+ and 31+, they were more than repaid by the Fantasy fates in Arsenal’s 4-0 win over Norwich.

For the opening half an hour, the Gabon international did not look any more dangerous than usual, afforded three opportunities that were far from clear cut.

In the ninth minute, Aubameyang cut inside on his right foot from his usual wide-left station, bending a shot straight at Tim Krul (£4.6m). Shortly after, Reiss Nelson (£5.3m), who found plenty of space against Jamal Lewis (£4.4m) in the first half, lofted a clipped cross to the back-post, but Aubameyang could only nod a tame effort at Norwich’s goalkeeper. It was the same story a few moments later when Dani Ceballos (£5.2m) got around the back of Lewis’ flank, his cross too high for Aubameyang to bring under control.

These were the sorts of chances, mixed in with some bad luck, that had led to those recent blanks, but arguably, the forward’s luck was due based on what happened next.

The first stroke of good fortune occurred in the 31st minute when his high-press on Krul, and the goalkeeper’s over-confidence on the ball, led to him winning possession in the Norwich penalty area. Pulled a little wide by the tackle, Aubameyang had no problems sliding the ball into an unguarded net.

His involvement in Arsenal’s second goal was much more about Aubameyang’s own skill. David Luiz (£5.7m) played an excellent crossfield ball from the back to Kieran Tierney (£5.3m), who slid Aubameyang into an advanced position on the left-hand side. His quick-thinking fed a rapidly approaching Granit Xhaka (£5.1m), who pulled his shot back across goal and underneath Krul.

Lady Luck (who we assume captained Aubameyang for Gameweek 32+) then smiled again in the 67th minute when Josip Drmic (£5.3m) played a blind ball back to his defence from a wide-position, sliding Aubameyang instantly into a one-on-one with Krul. With the confidence of an earlier under his belt, Arsenal’s number 14 made no mistake from close-range.

While we cannot rule out the flukey nature of Aubameyang’s two goals against Norwich, his latest outing might just ask some questions of his remaining owners.

Many of those who held onto him for Gameweek 32+ (this author included) did so after watching the unfortunate nature of recent blanks, seeing enough efforts on goal to predict a haul at some point. Therefore, you could argue that Aubameyang’s luck evened out over the three Gameweeks we’ve had so far.

And the position that period has left the striker in is certainly an interesting one. Not only has he become Arsenal’s fastest ever player to reach 50 Premier Leagues (77 games), he is now joint-top of the race for a second Golden Boot in a row. Sharing that prize with Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and Sadio Mané (£12.5m) last season is almost certainly motivation enough for Aubameyang to end the season on a high, especially with his contract situation still up in the air.

“I’m really happy that Bukayo signed (the contract). We’ll see. We’ll talk with the club and see what happens. I’m really focused on the games. Since Mikel is in we’re doing well. We’re working well. We have signs we’re improving.” – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

“A credit to him. He’s always trying to be the best and help the team. I am really happy for him not just for the goals but his attitude overall.” – Mikel Arteta

However, the remaining fixtures for Arsenal are not pretty at all. Up next is a Wolves side with seven clean sheets from their last eight, then it’s Leicester and Spurs, before Liverpool come to the Emirates Stadium in Gameweek 36+.

That same caveat of fixtures also applies to other Arsenal assets recently considered by Fantasy managers.

While Wednesday evening was one of much-needed rejoicing for Aubameyang owners, those invested in Nicolas Pépé (£9.2m), Bukayo Saka (£4.7m) and Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) were left ruing what could have been. Even though the Gunners ran out as 4-0 winners over Norwich, that trio were all left on the bench. Saka stayed there all evening while Pépé and Nketiah emerged for one-pointers.

Saka seems the most likely to hold his place in Fantasy teams considering his price and position, fully capable of operating as a useful fifth-midfielder. Furthermore, this was the first time since the Premier League’s restart that Saka had been absent from the starting line-up, so he was more than owed his rest.

However, despite Joe Willock‘s (£4.7m) late shot nearly earning him an assist, Nketiah remains a rotation threat for those looking at going ultra-cheap in the forward line. This was the second time in four matches that the former Leeds loanee was superseded in the centre-forward role by Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m). Considering that Mason Greenwood (£4.3m) has started each of the last two, earning praise from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the process, the Manchester United man, who has nicer fixtures too, arguably looks a better option for the run-in than Nketiah.

Meanwhile, Emiliano Martínez (£4.3m) proved his worth as a budget goalkeeper once again. He has now contributed to two clean sheets in a row for Arsenal, although he stopped short of amazing his 2.0% ownership with his five-point haul. Norwich’s rather subdued nature led to just two saves for the goalkeeper, one short of an additional point and he picked up a yellow card just after the hour-mark.

Also, the chances of Martínez earning starts from his Fantasy owners over the next four matches seems low, considering those aforementioned tough fixtures against Wolves, Leicester, Spurs and Liverpool. A Gameweek 37+ trip to Aston Villa looks like the next chance for Martínez to ask his owners a difficult question from the bench.

Despite drawing a fourth successive blank, Norwich did offer some threat at Arsenal, although, as usual, fell short of actually finding the net.

Ben Godfrey (£4.4m) stepped out of defence and into midfield in the 19th minute, firing a fierce shot from distance against Martínez’s post.

Kenny McLean‘s (£4.8m) powerful free-kick forced a diving save from the Arsenal goalkeeper just short of half-time before Daniel Farke made some changes at the break.

Teemu Pukki (£6.5m) and Emi Buendía (£6.0m) were both withdrawn allowing for a very central front-three of Drmic, Todd Cantwell (£4.6m) and Adam Idah (£4.4). This new set-up could be something that Farke tries in the remaining games of 2019/20 as it nearly led to a breakthrough in the 46th minute, Idah stinging Martínez’s palms with a fierce shot from the edge of the box. During this period, Norwich arguably saw more joy going forward than Arsenal, but all their confidence was dispelled when Drmic handed the game to Aubameyang in the 67th minute.

Arsenal XI (3-4-3): Martínez; Kolasinac, D Luiz, Mustafi (Holding 46′); Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Bellerín (Cédric 77′); Aubameyang (Pépé 82′), Lacazette (Nketiah 76′), Nelson (Willock 58′).

Norwich City XI (4-1-4-1): Krul; Lewis, Tettey, Godfrey, Aarons; Trybull (Idah 46′); Cantwell (Stiepermann 75′), McLean, Rupp (Vrančić 75′), Buendía (O Hernández 46′); Pukki (Drmic 46′).

    Is taking a -8 for this move too much or worth the hit given the players out?

    Aub/Barnes/Sarr/DCL Out
    Martial/Rashford/Pulisic/Nketiah In

    1. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Nketiah would be benched in a 352 formation

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

      Worth it

    3. jia you

      I wouldn’t be without Rashford

  3. Origi-nal
    • 7 Years

    For a hail mary FH - thoughts on this?

    Martinez
    Robbo Maguire Laporte (if he doesn't play tomorrow)
    Salah Mahrez Martial Saint-Maximin
    Jesus Firmino Rashford

    3.9 Dendoncker Lascelles Simpson

    Will keep an eye on the City/Liv game and shift players who likely to get rotated from this.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino quite a punt

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      FH has to have Bruno

  4. Joyce1998
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    pulisic or willian?? if had to choose and stick

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic more explosive but injury and rotation prone, depends on your bench

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      i want to know too

    3. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Willian. On pens and free kicks too

  5. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    1 FTs (0.1 itb). Chasing in ML league and everyone has Son & Rashford.

    DDG (Martin)
    TAA/ Saiss/ Lascelles (Kiko,Lundy)
    KDB/ SON/ Mane/ Bruno (Saka)
    Jimenez/ RASHFORD/ (GREENWOOD)

    Risk it and do Son, Nketia & Rashford to Saint Maximilan, Greenword & Kane for - 8 hit?

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

      Hell no.

  6. TheRealDonaldTrump
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My team is barely scraping by and I've been taking minor hits every gameweek to slowly fix my team, but it's still a huge mess... please point me in the right direction - what should be my next move?

    Pope - Reina
    Egan - Lundstram - Saiss - Fernandez - Targett
    Saka - Traore - Salah - KDB - Martial
    Auba - Jimenez - Rashford

    this big at the front thing isnt working out too well, with all my mini league rivals having held on to TAA, Doherty and the like...

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      that defence will see you sink like a stone so I'd sort that out!

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        downgrade Auba and use the money to improve defence

        1. TheRealDonaldTrump
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          ikr? 🙁
          luckily(?) i have 2.2 ITB.

          so Lundstram and Targett out for, Maguire/WanBissaka & Azpi?

          but this will see me stay on Auba for the Wolves game... and still leave me w/o Fernandes, which is scary..

          what do you think?

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            can't have them all but a better defence and one more premium mid would be my targets

        2. TheRealDonaldTrump
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          or like you said, i could downgrade Auba to someone like Greenwood and upgrade 1 of Lund or Targett to.... one of the Man U boys or even TAA???

            Cheers Greenwood was the one I was interested in, going up 4.4m now

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Yeah he did. Willian did also who I plan to get in. Have no chips left so not worrying about price rises. Still some football to be played which could alter plans

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah no to fused about the rise of Greenwood take it for a look at tonight's match before deciding

                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Yeah precisely especially when it’s Liv and City assets

  12. PapaWengzz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which move do you prefer for a Hit:
    A) Auba, Sarr > Rashford, Willian
    B) Lascelles/Femnia/Taylor (who?) and Sarr > 3.9 Def and Willian

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

      A

  13. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If you have a Triple Cap chip, in which GW are you using it and on which player?

    1. PapaWengzz
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would use it on Bruno this week

    2. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Salah or Mane vs. Villa is my top choice, but will re-evaluate after the City game. If I decide against it, it'll probably be on a City player vs. one of the remaining rubbish teams.

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Rashford vs BOU could be a maverick choice
      Liv v Villa too
      Wouldn't wait too long to use it

  14. akhilrajau
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My current team

    Pope,Martinez
    TAA, Aurier,Wan-bissaka,Lascelles, J. Robinson
    Bruno,Mane,KDB,Son,Saarr
    DCL, Jimenez, Nketiah
    Bank: 0.1m, FT: 1

    what to do with this? can i do -4)/-8 hit to take off mane and dcl to include pulisic/willian or kane etc.. please suggest i am totally confused my rival team is 10 points more than me

  15. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who is likely to be rotated?

    A. Pulisic

    B. Willian

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      given the form of united and wolves + 4th spot up for grabs maybe neither

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Common sense dictates that Frank can’t afford to drop either

    3. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah that makes sense!

    4. Pep Roulette

    does Pulisic start next game ?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty sure he will

    2. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd imagine so

  18. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is Mount to Pulisic/Willian worth a hit?

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      have you decided between Pulisic and Willian yet

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        First I have to decide whether selling Mount for a hit is worth it or not

        1. Soto Ayam
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Same boat. I don't think I will. -4 is hard to make up for a deep lying mid, and he might start against wat

    2. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd go Willian as I think he's more reliable. Mind you, I was burnt by pulisic's devestating run of 2 pointers earlier in the season

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, to Willian

  19. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Surely need triple UTD attack vs BOU?

    Fernandes Martial Rashford

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm still debating a third attacker or AWB to go with Bruno and Rashy.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I have Rash and Martial at the moment. Pending Son vs SHU could switch to Fernandes.

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      AWB a good attacking option too

  20. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Pickford?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Nope

        You must be checking the wrong site, mate.

        The site I checked said Willian rise and Barnes fall, so I made the transfer around 10pm yesterday.

        This "towers" conspi talk is just sad to see.

  22. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Should I put Taylor(SHU) or Ritchie(WHU) to be the first on the bench? Already have Pope

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ritchie, he didn't start yesterday

      1. Soto Ayam

  23. L S P

    Congratulations to all the auba keepers and cappers. You've earned it.

      Thanks. Couldn’t wait to get him out my team tonight though

      Yep, had a free shot of doing Rashford back to Auba but didn't.
      Massive differential who will get sold by quite a few.

      felt good waking up to the sweet sixteen x2

        No doubt HMC!

    imagine the jubilation when I saw the scoreline of 4-0 and knowing that started Saka.

    Only to find out that he didn't even play

    1. seewhyaxe

      DCL owners, still keeping?

      1. L S P
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        unlikely but to who?

        1. seewhyaxe
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          downgrade to Nketiah could be an option.

        2. seewhyaxe
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Am considering taking a hit this week, to get rid the 2/3 of Sarr, DCL, Alonso

          1. L S P
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            aha - fellow Sarr/DCL owner. hasn't been fun.

            I'm thinking of this -4 (as I mention above):

            Sarr/DCL/Saka->Puli/Foden/Nketiah

            1. seewhyaxe
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              yea it hasn't been fine 🙁

              similar thoughts but for me I'd need funds and prioritizing getting the 3rd United player perhaps.

              1. L S P
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                yeah, i already have 3x United. If you don't, grabbing Greenwood is tempting as long as you have a solid first sub.

        3. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Greenwood / Nketiah and upgrade elsewhere...

  26. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which move do you prefer?

    A) Auba + Perez to Jesus + Fernandes
    B) Auba + Perez to Rashford + Mahrez
    C) DCL+ Perez to Greenwood/Nketiah + Fernandes
    D) Perez + Traore to Fernandes + Foden

    Still have BB.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A if Jesus shows up well tonorrow

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Problem is that he might be benched next week if he starts.

    2. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      D

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Just realized I'm priced out of option D, sorry. But thanks for the reply

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Guess I will be wiser after the City game. Gn folks

  27. BNMC

    Do we think West Ham will go on a run with their fixtures ahead? Looking at Bowen.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      enigma, so hard to tell
      fighting for survival and good run coming up
      if any I would be looking at Antonio but means starting him every week

      1. mikefeely
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Debating this, can’t decide between having :
        A Mahrez and Foden or
        B Pulisic/Willian and Boden/Antonio

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Foden your 12th guy?

          1. AFC49
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Which option sounds better to start with for the next gw?

            Rashford and Mahrez
            OR
            Auba and Martial

            1. L S P
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              RM

          2. mikefeely
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Yes Foden as first sub.

            1. L S P
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              i think you start foden if you have him, you just need a solid first sub if you do

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

  28. E25

    Thoughts on DCL + Lascelles -> Greenwood + Alonso?
    Would set me up for a 352/451 moving forward with a couple of differentials and some flexibility to get in more city assets.

    Martinez
    Doherty TAA Saiss
    Mane KDB Son Fernandes Martial
    Jimenez DCL

    Martin Nketiah Lascelles Robinson

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Seriously why are people considering Alonso still...

      1. E25
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Explosive, good fixtures, differential?!

        1. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Watch the West Ham game and maybe have a second thought.

          1. E25
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Fair, and assuming you're a chelsea fan I'm more than happy to be talked out of it...
            Would much rather a Man U def but struggling to get the cash.

            Any ideas with the above? Ditch Son to upgrade def is an option.

            1. Postman Ty
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Man U, Wolves, Spurs, all look great options.

            Watched most of it, he definitely gets forward. I actually own him but getting rid on WC.

            My personal thoughts on him are he feels he needs to score/assist when the roster is depleted. Pretty sure his attacking returns have been when there have been injuries to the midfield/forwards. Now with Chelsea at full strength I’m not as inclined to keep

            1. E25
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Good point.

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

        Would you consider Azpi safer but I presume you are saying stay away from Che defence.
        It’s the appeal of the next 4 fixtures.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn't go anywhere near any of them. West Ham are a relegation team who hadn't scored in 3 games, that's happened all season to Chelsea.

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

            Fair enough Aurier to one of them for a hit is not looking good the more I look at it would need an attacking return as well as CS to make a gain. I suppose that why there is the mantra never take a hit for a defender.

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't do it. Not Alonso anyway. Need a consistent hitman to get on the end of his crosses.

          3 years, 8 months ago

          Oh... 4K off man

    3. Nabs Kebabs

      Saint-Maxim is a beast. Want to try and fit him in my team somehow.

      1. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        All the talk about him but Almiron's doing well too. He also takes penalties if Ritchie isn't playing.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          not a big fan of Almiron

      MCI vs LIV
