Dawson remains Watford’s greatest threat as centre-back scores again

Watford 2-1 Norwich

  • Goals: Craig Dawson (£4.8m), Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) | Emi Buendía (£6.0m)
  • Assists: Etienne Capoue (£4.8m), Ismaïla Sarr (£6.1m) | Onel Hernández (£5.3m)
  • Bonus Points: Welbeck x3, Buendía x2, Capoue x2

Watford’s 2-1 win over Norwich did not throw up much of interest for Fantasy managers, other than those on the hunt for extreme differentials between now and the end of the season.

The Hornets showed great determination to come from behind to win and it is their assets that are likely to be on the mavericks’ radars over the next two Gameweeks, when they face the relatively porous defences of Newcastle and West Ham.

Incredibly, Craig Dawson (£4.8m) could be one of those options as he extended his lead as Watford’s top goal-scorer since the Premier League restarted last month.

We probably should not be too surprised that the former West Bromwich Albion man delivered against Norwich as he went into Gameweek 34+ top for shots in the box among defenders in the previous four matches.

Such a statistic, paired with a favourable Tuesday-evening match-up, earned Dawson a place in the Scout Picks, rewarding them with an eight-point haul.

The centre-back has now scored in two of Watford’s last two home matches and, still with more shots than any colleague since the Premier League returned, he has to be considered one of their primary goal threats for Newcastle’s visit to Vicarage Road next time out.

Even though they were deserved winners over Norwich on Tuesday, Nigel Pearson’s men did produce most of their threat from set-pieces, which probably doesn’t say too many great things about what they can offer from open play, although it does suit Dawson, of course.

Fantasy managers may want to keep an eye on the fortunes of Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) though, as he scored his first-ever Premier League goal for Watford.

In just his fourth start of the campaign, the former Manchester United forward latched onto Ismaïla Sarr‘s (£6.1m) deflected cross to hook home a spectacular bicycle kick against Norwich.

Since losing Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m) to a knee injury in Gameweek 28, Pearson’s side has lacked balance on the left-hand side of midfield.

With Sarr nailed-on as the right-winger, several assets have had a turn on the left since the Premier League including Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m) and Will Hughes (£5.3m).

Welbeck took on the role against Norwich and, if he can stay fit, could hold onto it for the remainder of the season as he asked plenty of questions in Gameweek 34+ with his pace and physicality, often drifting into positions to support Troy Deeney (£6.2m).

“It’s been frustrating for Danny because he came with a big reputation but was injured so early. He’s been patient and his desire to get back has been really big. When I’ve not played him he’s been disappointed but he has to trust us to look after him.” – Nigel Pearson

However, it is worth saying that in the case of Dawson and Welbeck, they were, of course, helped by more poor defending from Norwich.

In fact, this was another match which arguably boosted the Fantasy credentials of those about to face the Canaries in the near-future more than anything else. It’s West Ham and Chelsea up next for Daniel Farke’s men, by the way.

As much as Dawson was causing problems for Norwich all evening, the defending for his goal was rather soft and Welbeck’s strike could have been prevented with better tracking of runners on the Watford counter. Good news for Michail Antonio (£6.9m), Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m), Willian (£7.2m) and Christian Pulisic (£7.2m) owners in the coming Gameweeks.

However, Fantasy managers should just be aware that Norwich are still making some progress away from being clean sheet fodder. Their improvements going forward have hardly been ground-shaking, and it’s certainly too late to save them from relegation, but it might be enough to frustrate a few punters chasing defensive returns against them in the coming weeks.

Emi Buendía (£6.0m) had one of his better Premier League games on Tuesday evening, going close to getting his first goal in the top flight in the second minute when he looped a free-kick to the top right-hand corner of Ben Foster‘s (£4.9m) goal before it was saved.

He then finally broke that duck two minutes later when Norwich strung together a counter-attack.

Onel Hernández (£5.3m) won the ball against right-back Kiko Femenía (£4.2m), ran into the middle channel and had time and space to find Buendía. The Argentinian tied up left-back Adam Masina (£4.3m), before cutting inside on his right foot to bend a sharp effort past Foster.

Just before the hour-mark, Hernández had a powerful blasted shot blocked by Dawson before Max Aarons‘ (£4.3m) placed effort was stopped by a sprawling Foster foot.

Adam Idah (£4.4m) also continues to show some promise, unlucky yet again not to get his first Premier League goal. Jamal Lewis (£4.4m) found space on the left for a cross, which Josip Drmic (£5.3m) nodded on at the front-post. Idah slid in at the back-post, making contact with the ball but could not get enough purchase to steer it inside the post.

The young forward is getting closer to a goal with each passing outing, so it would not be too surprising to seem him finally get it against either West Ham or Chelsea, whose own defences have shown suspect signs in recent outings.

Watford XI (4-2-3-1): Foster; Masina, Dawson, Kabasele, Femenía; Hughes (Cleverley 59′), Capoue (Chalobah 87′); Welbeck, Doucouré, Sarr; Deeney.

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Lewis, Klose, Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey (McLean 55′), Vrančić; O Hernández (J Martin 83′), Stiepermann (Idah 76′), Buendía; Pukki (Drmic 83′).

  3. BNMC
    • 4 Years

    Who scores more over the next two, Pulisic or Antonio?

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

      Pulisic I reckon.

    2. LC1
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Puli

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Puli

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

      It might actually be Antonio

    5. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tough one.. Chelsea playing real nice attacking football with CL aspirations, Westham improving all the time with survival on their minds.. Antonio just I reckon!

    Who is getting in Digne?

    Also thinking Ings may be a good combo with Greenwood?

    1. LC1
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ings v good for GW36+

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Got him on WC before yesterday's deadline. Fingers crossed he does well since his ownership is quite low in top 10K still. Also, got Ings and Greenwood to rotate

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

      Digne's in my team already!

    4. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Getting him in week 36 I think.

    5. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Don't know if I'll have the opportunity but he'll be in my FH team in GW38.

    6. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I’ve got Digne

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

      Think so, Digne and Vardy are two of my final four transfers this season. Ings should be great once the United game is out of the way. Even better if he is within touching distance of the golden boot.

    8. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely on my radar if I can get around to it..

  5. Stormbringer22

      Question - Would you not consider keeping your FH until GW36? City play BOU and Chelse play NOR

      1. The Senate
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I have triple City and Pulisic anyway - the only players currently in my team on this FH draft are Ed, KDB, Bruno and Puli

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ah, I see. Not much sense playing it in 36 then. The above seems spot on. My only thought is that some of the Man Utd boys may be given a rest?

          1. The Senate
            • 5 Years

    A. Sterling + Greenwood or

    1. Stormbringer22

      A

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      A for me.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Coin toss, perhaps B

    4. Pep Roulette

      A

    5. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years

      Foden sterling and greenwood, takes pep rotation out of the game a bit

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

    Best keeper for GW’s 35 & 36 only?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Patricio, Pickford or Schmeichel.

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on budget but Kepa and Ederson are worth a look also although they don't have the same save point potential.

      Kepa - shu, NOR
      Ederson - bri, BOU

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

    How does this look?

    Lloris
    TAA Digne Doherty
    Salah KDB Martial Pulisic Fernandes
    Ings Rashford

    Tickles my fancy...

    1. The Ejiptian King

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Not Lloris if this WC team...

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

    3. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks spot on, but what is it? WC or your current team? If WC, I would be tempted by a different GK

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

        Can have this team by GW36 for couple of hits. I reckon Lloris will be racking up the bonus points. Hopefully cleanies too.

      1. Tonyawesome69

        thanks, transfer is definitely high on my list

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

        Another transfer I'm interested in is Doherty/ Aurier to Digne. Might be too late for the Chelsea Willian/ Pulisic bandwagon but I prefer the high points potential of the Manchester mids

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Willian and Puli will have some points in them still. Digne a good differential

  11. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Really not a big fan of the new Chelsea kit. Quite like the new Southampton one though

  12. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I really hope Holgate and Lascelles are fit to play coming weeks. Would hate to waste a transfer on a defensive bench warmer but sooner or later one of my starters will probably be rested.

        Really any excuse to discuss it would be great.

        Kane owners, what are you doing?

        My original plan with him was to get him for 34, 35, and 36 then swap to Auba for the last two. Arsenal and Newcastle aren't the worst fixtures for Kane, but suddenly Vardy feels like a better option. If I go for Vardy though, then that will incur a -4 when I take him out for Auba in 37. Hits don't bother me too much, but obviously it's better to try and avoid taking them.

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          No idea yet.

          Maybe keep. But tempted to ship to hardy

          1. james 101
            • 12 Years

            Or vardy even

          Swapping to Vardy after BOU. Got Kane on a WC literally for that one game. I have no interest in keeping him

          1. james 101
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            This is a popular perspective

            1. Stormbringer22
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Yeah, I structured my WC in such a way as to have attacking players against BOU every week. Did the same with NOR to an extent as well

        3. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Get Ings 36/37/38

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

          Holding for one week. I don't like hokey cokey and not convinced by Vardy.

          Then will go into GW36 with two transfers. Could do like Willian + Ings in for Kane + Mane or something like that.

        Watching Watford Norwich yesterday I had completely forgotten just how bad a footballer Troy deeney is. He can put himself about a bit but that is literally it. He has the technical ability of a five a side occasional. That's before we get on to what he did to that student that time and the amount of nonsense he speaks.
        Sorry this isn't really relevant to anything, I just had to vent.

          He's awkward customer, for sure. Premier League days numbered I would think.

              Yes Watford should get rid urgently if they stay up.

        2. Pinturicchio10
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Very true the lad is abysmal.

              • 4 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I thought this as well, remembered him being quite decent but he’s trash sure enough

              Feel a bit bad for Danny Welbeck think he has some ability

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

                No question he does. Just a huge question about his ability to stay fit. He's streets ahead of deeney but sadly you can't rely on him.

        3. Big Ronnie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Is it worth taking anyone out of this midfield to get Willian or Pulisic in? Only 1FT. Tempted by Mahrez & Jimenez to Willian & Vardy for -4?

          Pope, Martin
          TAA, Doherty, Saiss, Femenia, Lascelles
          Mane, KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Martial
          Jimenez, Ings, Greenwood

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            The -4 makes sense. Especially if Mahrez plays a good 75-90 mins against NEW

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

            Not for me

        4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Lot of Digne talk with Everton as mid table as you can get. Baines could easily have a few swansong games. They were totally and utterly without life v Spurs, already had enough of DCL.

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

            So you're saying we should get Baines (BOU) for final GW?

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

            Sure it's possible Baines could play a bit, but I think with Digne's set piece duties and Everton's CS potential over the next 5 he is hard to look past.

        5. Rhodes your boat
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          This worth a -4?

          Son jimi to pulisic/ willian vardy

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years

            Perfect sense. Hows the rank bud?

            1. Rhodes your boat
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              185k, dropped last night however with no chelsea and Martinez my only player
              What about you?

              1. Stormbringer22
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                See, you are still doing much better than I am - 290K at the moment. Had only Willian's 11pts from yesterday 🙂

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

                I didn't have any players and I dropped like a stone.....thinking my 7 today with KDB cap will rectify the situation.

          2. ElliotJHP
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Think i'd just do Son -> Puli/Willian

            1. Rhodes your boat
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Not convinced by vardy or just because it’s a hit?

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

                Quite fancy Jime vs Everton

              Think Jimmy look tired of late

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

            Willian + Vardy i'd say

        6. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Pope
          Trent Doherty Wan Bissaka
          Willian Pulisic Salah De Bruyne Fernandes
          Greenwood Jimenez

          DCL Basham Egan

          How does this look??

          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Early thoughts on Rash+DCL >> Greeny+Vardy for a hit?

          Martinez
          TAA • Doherty • Kiko
          Salah • Martial • KDB • Bruno • Foden
          Jimmy • Rash
          (3.9, DCL, Holgate, Lascelles)

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Possible benching headache?

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I think Foden will play tonight then be benched so should be fairly obvious, not think?

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

                KDB benching too then?

                1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Possible but he is a lot more established in the team

          2. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Downgrading Salah to Puli/Willian is another possibility.

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Yeah, see how Mo looks tonight for that one

            Tempted by the same moves.

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 7 Years

              Seem fairly logical. See how Rash does tomorrow

          Fabianski (nor/WAT) worth a punt for the next two only?

            • 6 Years

            If no other fires to put out - depends who you are replacing, transfers precious now and limited upside to GK switches

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

              Henderson in order to bench Pope (liv/WOL)

          3. caldracula
            • 8 Years

            I’m looking at Foster/Fabianski to replace Pope

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

              Foster is a possibility too

            Is it worth selling Salah for another City or Chelsea mid? Rotation could now be an issue and they have a much improved Arsenal defence coming up soon.

            1. Warby84
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              5-0 they always beat Arsenal

          4. The Red Devil
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Drop pool players for city/Chelsea/United?
            Even if they have Burnley & Chelsea at home? Or do a hokey cokey with them based on fixtures?

          5. lmac
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            With midfield spaces at a premium due to the plethora of freescoring mids at the moment, and seeing as you all have Puli, will you be looking to Chelsea forwards (Giroud, Tammy) as extra Chelsea assets?

          6. Mr. O'Connell
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            With captain fail after captain fail and red arrow after red arrow since resumption, would you say it's time for us to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?

              Creswell for WH run in or stick to the offence?

            3. End of King Wilson
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              With four gameweeks left, what is the best advice for chasers (maybe more than 75 points behind)?
              Some general ideas:
              Captaining differentials, template busting the team, doubling/tripling up, investing in relegation clubs

              1. The Ejiptian King
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                I'm about that far behind too and my advice would be pray for a miracle.

            4. The Quad
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              It is the time to Take the risk and just focus on differentials to climb to The highest overall.

              1. End of King Wilson
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                It feels so hard to balance that with template players like kdb, Salah still delivering. The gains by relying only on differential picks as opposed to differential captains are minimal

                1. End of King Wilson
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Captain vardy or sterling this week is what I'm considering

            5. Drexl Spivey
              • 5 Years

              Are Liverpool assets worth their premium price tags anymore?

                • 5 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Maybe a little premature, in retrospect. Although sticky fixtures coming up and rotation kicking in. I'll be amazed if Salah starts on Saturday.

              How much attention are you paying to recovery times and impact on time on pitch?

              How many minutes play are you willing to hold onto players for? Is 30 of Foden better than 60 of Saka or 90 of Soucek?

              Funny day to have the scoutcast, GW34 hasn't finished players could get injured on thursday night and totally change plans.

              Firmino can he finally score his first home goal of the season against a depleted Burnley? Looking at some forward hokey cokey with Kane becoming Firmino.

              Heard alot of people talking about forward Hokey cokey, to target week clubs, is this a good idea? Already own Vardy for Bournemouth.

              Surely a pressing question for a high percentage of manager on here. Which week is best for the FH wk36 or Wk38. I'm leaning towards 36 as Chelsea are plum and their fixtures around that aren't great

              For those with our Free Hit left, when would be an ideal time to play it? GW 36 or GW 38 look ideal but could FA cup games alter line ups?

              Yes, I have a question - where do we go for FPL grief counselling?

              Seriously though... Question is how to get back in the wagon after a bad season?

              As of 2 years ago I was in the HOF top 50 but this season has fallen to pieces, everything feels like it’s gone against me.

              I have seen great players like Mark and Jay having bad ones but it just feels like my bubble has burst and I see players like lateriser pulling moves out of the hat that I am not even seeing coming right now...

              Hmm...

              Pope Martinez
              TAA Digne Aurier Lamptey Taylor
              Mane KdB Foden Fernandes Martial
              Kane Rashford Nketiah

              I'm very likely to hold this week. Lots of people doing the Kane > Vardy but I don't like it. Not convinced by Vardy and I want two transfers in 36. Could do something like Mane + Nketiah > Mahrez + Ings in 36 for instance by saving. Then save and have two transfers before GW38 bench boost.

                Kane loves playing Arsenal as much as Vardy does, I'd also roll it
