Scout Notes

The FPL round-up: Foxes’ formation, Pulisic v Willian and a rest for Saint-Maximin

With the Fantasy Premier League deadlines hurtling by at a tremendous pace, we won’t be able to cover some of the Gameweek 33+ match reviews in the same detail as we normally would.

So, with time against us, we’ll instead touch on the main discussion points from Leicester City v Crystal Palace, Chelsea v Watford and Newcastle United v West Ham United in our abridged Scout Notes below.

Leicester Formation Change

With Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m) having had a positive impact at Goodison Park in Gameweek 32+ when brought on as a second-half substitute, it always looked likely that the Nigerian would feature in Brendan Rodgers’ line-up at the weekend.

How Rodgers would accommodate two strikers into his side was the big question and his solution was to switch to a wing-back system for the visit of Crystal Palace.

James Justin (£4.7m) started the game as a right-sided centre-half with Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) used as a wing-back in what was a 3-4-1-2, with Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) supporting Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) in attack.

Ryan Bennett (£4.8m) was then brought on at half-time to play at centre-back, allowing Justin to move forward down the right flank.

Rodgers said of his system change:

We played 3-4-1-2, and firstly it was to get, defensively, a greater press and a higher pressure up the pitch, with Jamie and putting Kelechi up there as the two.

We played Ayoze Perez just behind and it’s about getting goalscorers into the game. We haven’t been scoring goals so that’s been the issue for us, and not being anywhere near as creative as what we would have liked. So we tried to get people who can score goals onto the field.

So with those three up front, the wing-backs… Marc Albrighton had to fill in as a wing-back but he did that marvellously well, and James Justin was up against one of the top wingers at this level, and once again he’s come through, he was defensively brilliant. There wasn’t much change out of Wilfried Zaha today.

Then playing with three defenders. When Ryan comes in, he’s a natural centre-half. James Justin started as that right-sided centre-half and he worked it very well in both positions he played.

It gave Ben [Chilwell] the chance to get forward that bit more as well, but still giving us security from behind with the three centre-halves, and the defensive midfield players. It worked well, the guys coming into the game worked very well. We showed a real mentality to not concede and to get our goals.

Vardy Drought Ends

Vardy scored his first goals of the post-restart era, registering just his third and fourth strikes of 2020 in Saturday’s victory.

In truth, the striker again looked short of his best for the majority of the match against Palace and he was indebted to a horrendous error from Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) to finally record his 100th Premier League goal, with the Eagles’ centre-half slipping in his own area and allowing substitute Harvey Barnes (£6.0m) to square it to an unmarked Vardy eight yards out.

Having wasted a number of clear openings before that goal, the weight seemed to be lifted off Vardy’s shoulders and he raced onto another Barnes pass in stoppage time to finish brilliantly.

A trip to an in-form Arsenal defence on Tuesday is not the easiest prospect but a rejuvenated Vardy perhaps looks a good one-week punt for Gameweek 35+ when the Foxes take on a leaky Bournemouth side on the south coast.

The New Zaha/Milivojevic?

Willian and Christian Pulisic (both £7.2m) were at it again on Saturday, combining for their third goal in two Gameweeks.

All three strikes have been free-kicks or penalties dispatched by the Brazilian for fouls on his teammate, with Pulisic this time winning a spot-kick against Watford.

The pair have plundered 63 FPL points between them since the restart, averaging 8.75 and 7.00 points per game respectively over the last four Gameweeks.

Pulisic looked a menace every time he picked up the ball against the Hornets and his manager said of the American after full-time:

He was playing very well, he got injured at the start of January and he’d been injured until the restart. But what he looks now is sharp and hungry and his quality is there for everyone to see at the moment. He’s going past players, he’s moving at pace, he always works very hard for the team in all senses to be fair.

So I’m very happy with him and considering his age, considering what could be coming from him, I’m very, very pleased and we’ve got ourselves a very good player and he’ll get even better.

Azpilicueta’s Assist Potential

Marcos Alonso (£6.2m) was benched at the weekend and, while he may return to the side in Gameweek 34+, it’s fair to say that there might be a bit of rotation in the full-back department between now and the end of the season.

While Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.0m) isn’t completely free of risk in that regard, his ability to play in either full-back position is to his advantage.

The Spaniard has started more games than any other Chelsea player this season (31 of 33) and he hasn’t been benched since Gameweek 14.

It’s now three assists in four starts for the long-serving full-back, who has created more chances (eight) than any other FPL defender since the restart.

The Blues will have a decent chance of adding to their clean sheet tally on Tuesday, too, with Palace having not scored in their last three matches.

Antonio and Bowen Shine Again

They may have been indebted to an awful error from Jamaal Lascelles (£4.3m) for their attacking returns on Sunday but Michail Antonio (£6.9m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.5m) followed up their excellent displays against Chelsea with another promising performance in Gameweek 33+.

Antonio lashed home West Ham’s opener after Lascelles failed to deal with Bowen’s cross, with the Hammers going on to register a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United on Tyneside.

Antonio’s ‘out of position’ tag is a big attraction with some attractive fixtures against Burnley, Norwich, Watford and Villa coming up and he was again leading the line for the Hammers at St James’ Park.

Since the resumption in June, Antonio’s expected goal involvement (xGI) total is the best in the Premier League.

Bowen has also caught the eye.

On set plays and a creator of eight chances in the last four Gameweeks (three of them ‘big’ ones), he also regularly drifts inside from the right flank and pops up in central positions – note his opportunistic 31st-minute stab at goal from six yards that was only kept out by Martin Dubravka’s (£5.1m) legs.

He would have had a second assist, too, had Declan Rice‘s (£4.7m) second-half header not crashed against the crossbar; Tomas Soucek (£4.8m) followed up the rebound from that chance to score West Ham’s second.

Bruce Hints at Saint-Maximin Rest

After three double-digit hauls in four Gameweeks, there wasn’t to be any joy for Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.5m) against the Hammers.

At one point it looked as if the talented winger wouldn’t even emerge for the second half, having picked up a knock shortly before the interval.

The Frenchman was eventually hooked during the second-half drinks break and, after five starts in league and cup in the space of a fortnight, may now be finally handed a breather against Manchester City on Wednesday.

Steve Bruce said after full-time:

I don’t think I could ask him to go again on Wednesday, that’s for sure.

    De Bruyne running away with the captain poll. thought they're be more love for Kane. Guess it reflects ownership.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm going to own Kane unless he gets injured tonight and I'm still capping KDB. Kane is enough of a differential uncaptained

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This.

    Aurier or Holgate for the rest of the season?

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Aurier more upside

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      Aurier, higher ceiling imo

  6. balint84
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Captain kdb, fernandes or salah?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      KDB

  7. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Think i can save FT this week?

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Doherty
    Salah Bruno Martial KDB Pulisic
    Greenwood Jim

    Martinez Saiss Ayew Ward

    1. Debauchy

      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

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

      FT Saiss for Aurier and target Bournemouth instead of double Liv.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      save

  8. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any ideas what to do? 1ft 0.1itb.

    DDG - Martin
    TAA - Doherty - Saiss - Lascelles - Simpsons
    Mane - KdB - Mahrez - Foden - Bruno
    Rashford - DCL - Jimi

    Obviously would like to bring Greenwood or Martial in, but DDG is blocking it.
    Not sure should I take a hit to get Greenwood and Alisson instead DDG.

    1. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Team seems fine though could do Mane/Rash>Martial/Kane.

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

        I dont wanna lose Mane i a problem.

        1. JoeSoap
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Understandable though tempted to lose Salah myself.

  9. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    SPECIAL CAPTAIN'S POLL

    ONLY for those who have BOTH Kane AND kdb

    Who are you captaining?

    A) KDB
    B) Kane

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hopefully today makes up my mind

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B.
      My reasoning is that Sterling/Foden/Mahrez should also start and points more likely to be spread. Also think fixtures get busy so he gets hauled off soon as game is won.

      1. JoeSoap
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Had the same thought about Bruno last week and that didn't end well.

        1. InSaneMan-e
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I did captain him but was 100% sure he would play a decent chunk. Utd and City have different league priorities

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This is wishful thinking

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kane as I need a differential. Also KDB probably played his worst football this season after he came on yesterday so might not be a terrible GW to not captain him.

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        don't think it suits KDB to come on to a game that is being chased and trying to force it. He's probably the best in the world at setting a tempo though (from the start).

    4. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Have both

      Kane(c)

      Easy peasy

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kdb

    6. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kane, chasing so need to do something bit different (not that daring admittedly).

      No chance of being rotated, and slim chance of coming off before 85 minutes.

      And Bournemouth are dreadful.

  10. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Do you think it's worth to get Iwobi?

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No

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

        I can't find any descent picks up to 6.1.Any thoughts except Foden,Mount,Sarr?

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

          Saka ur best bet after foden

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

            Thanks.No way.I prefer Iwobi.

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

              Iwobi is pants. Not even close

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

            I like Sucek but i think he is not nailed with Yarmolenko,Lanzini,Noble back again.

        2. Begbie.
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Traore, Barnes or ASM?

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

            All better than iwobi.

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

            Thank you Leo.Traore is not nailed and tricky fixtures imo.I sold Barnes in gw32.Tough fiixtures for ASM.

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't pick Iwobi if it was a 1 player game and he was the only player to choose from.

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years

    Disaster week, wrong cpt again! Save? Could bring in Kane but would mean a hit.

    1 ft 0.1 itb.

    Pope
    TAA AWB Boly
    Salah KDB Son Bruno Mahrez
    Rash Jime

    Robinson Nketiah Lascelles

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I used WC with a very similar team (slightly weaker) because i wanted Martial/Greenwood instead or rash/AWB. I also got in Kane and may get rid of Jiminez.

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, yeah I would prefer 3 attacking players for Utd but no WC. Swapping Rashford for martial seems sideways though.

  12. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Play Kiko (NOR) or Saiss (shu) this week?
    Also have Doherty.

    1. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kiko. Mix it up.

    2. antis0cial

      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kiko

  13. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any thoughts on best use of 2FTs & 0.2 in bank?

    Wishlist - More city, spurs (playing Bournemouth, see how tonight goes), Pulisic/Willian, Antonio, Ings (GW36)

    Patricio
    TAA Saiss Holgate
    KDB Fernandes Martial Salah
    Rash DCL Jimenez
    Button Taylor Lacelles Guend

    1. InSaneMan-e

      Greenwood Kane in and watch the points haul

  14. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which do you prefer? Chasing in mini leagues so need differentials:

    A) salah & basham > sterling & maguire
    B) salah & Jimenez > son & Jesus

    Already have Kane and Kdb from spurs and city

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Which two united do you have? I’d be looking to fill up third spot with an attacking Utd asset

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Currently have martial and Bruno. I could do nketiah for greenwood but everyone in my league now has him

    2. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A though maybe AWB if you can afford

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        0.2 short annoyingly

  15. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Think I can save my FT this week?

    DDG

    Trent - Doherty - Aurier

    Salah - KDB - Pulisic - Bruno

    Ings - Jimmy - Rashford

    Subs: Hendo, Saiss, Fernandez & Hayden

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep gtg

  16. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Have this forward line and a power 5 in midfield
    Connolly Rashford Jimenez

    Is it worth me using a FT to do...
    (A) Connolly to Greenwood and play over Jimenez vs shu (then weakest attacker next week too)?
    (B) Just sell Jimenez/Rashford for Greenwood and bank 4m.
    (C) Hold

  17. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    GK Foster
    DEF TAA, Holgate, Doherty
    MID Salah, KDB(c), Pulisic, Bruno, Martial
    FWD Rashford, DCL

    Subs (Pope), Jimmy, Lamptey, Lascalles

    2 free transfers so will do Rashford to Greenwood and DCL to Kane.

    Leaves some cash to.upgrade lascalles week after, maybe to Reece James

    Decent plan?

    Draft question:

    I want to move on Origi, got him for the Villa fixture but didn't come to anything. My options are:

    Deeney (off form but great fixtures)
    Josh King (some form but trash fixtures)
    Callum Wilson (same but without the form)
    Haller (No form, good fixtures)
    Che Adams (kneejerk)
    Gordon? (See how he does tonight)

    I think Deeney is the best shout, thoughts?

      I’d go Deeney, assuming you already have triple united/greenwood

        Pearson hinted at rotation for Deeney in his presser today, I read on the BBC sport website.

    Ederson
    TAA - James - Kiko
    Mane - KDB(vc) - Mahrez - Martial - Fernandes
    Kane(c) - Greenwood

      Captain Bruno. Look as his away form and consistency..

        Fancy Kane big time vs a hapless Bournemouth with key injuries in defense

    Does anyone else find Triple Captain a very hard chip to play?

    I've been ready to play it each of the last 3 weeks, then each time get cold feet...

    i.e. a green arrow is pretty much guaranteed by just getting the captaincy right... feels a bit like being too leveraged by throwing a chip in on top of it

    Yesterday I was against waiting until Man City GW38, but might actually just end up doing that by default now - if KDB hauls as captain vs Newcastle this week the green arrow is (almost certainy) coming with or without the TC chip - that's all you can really ask from any GW at the end of the day

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

      Just have to play it the first opportunity u get a dgw with an fpl big hitter find it hard to believe people still have that chip when there's already been a dgw with salah

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

        Id play it this week on KDB and just be done with it. We know he is going to start

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I don't disagree - but my point is a green arrow is in the bag just by captaining KDB in the scenario where he does well (which you have to assume he will be default if you're playing TC) - whereas is he doesn't do well and you've TC'd him its a big let down

          If you just (c) him and he flops... you've still got the TC for a rainy day etc

          no right or wrong i might add, just interesting looking at the ins & outs of it

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years

        Not sure its that simple - Mane Triple Captainers probably wouldn't agree for example, and only for a Global Pandemic there would have been other (probably many other!) DGWs

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Mane TCer here and it was a freak incident. Logical choice which backfired, given the chance I'd do it again (without knowing the result ofc)

      I’d rather have your problem than having wasted it on Mané earlier this season... moan.... grumble.... complain....

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That must've been horrific

        It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion back at the time- felt bad for Mane TC'ers

      What's wrong with the scoutcast? Any update?

    • wattalowz
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Do we think Sterling and Mahrez are both likely to start midweek?

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        only God and Pep know

    • Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pope
      TAA Doherty Fermina
      KDB Salah Mahrez Foden Bruno
      Rashford Greenwood

      Subs: Jiminez, Saiss, Lascelles

      GTG?

    • Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The way it is , Sarr to bounce back big time , if you're chasing risk it fellas

      1. Jonesfromthere
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Doubt it, they're hopeless.

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          And Norwich even worse , agree but they really need this one

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Like I said if you're chasing , should have added' a big deficit

      2. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        only wat assets i d consider i’d deeney

    • InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Who's the better option?

      A Mahrez
      B Pulisic

      1. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        A. Worth the gamble

      2. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        A or B will probz score the same

    • jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Feels like a week to save the FT, but #3 piques my interest. Possible benching headaches, though.

      Pope
      TAA, Doherty, Saiss
      Salah, KDB, Son, Pulisic, Bruno
      Greenwood, Jimenez
      (Martin; Holgate, Nketiah, Lascelles)

      1) Salah > Martial (too crazy?)
      2) Lascelles > Aurier
      3) Salah, Nketiah > Foden, Kane (-4)
      4) Save FT

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        3 might be a good punt

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

        3 is the best of those options.

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

      McCarthy
      TAA, Saiss, Soyuncu
      Salah, KDB, Bruno, Martial, Pulisic
      Jimenez, Ings

      Bench: Button, O'Connell, Taylor, Connolly

      1FT, 4.6 in bank

      (A) Martial --> Sterling
      (B) McCarthy --> Patricio
      (C) Ings --> Rashford / Greenwood
      (D) Save FT

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

        Why Martial out?

    • Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      34+ play :
      a. Pope
      b. McCarthy

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years

        Pope

    • Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Who do I lose to fund Jimi to Kane?

      Salah or Doherty?

      Kind of feels wrong ditching Salah, and I’d have £4.9 to spend on a replacement for a Doherty.

      I get the feeling ditching Doherty is the wiser move.
