Scout Notes

Jimenez returns to the scoresheet as Everton’s FPL assets continue to misfire

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 3-0 EVERTON

  • Goals: Raul Jimenez (£8.1m), Leander Dendoncker (£4.4m), Diogo Jota (£6.0m)
  • Assists: Daniel Podence (£4.9m), Pedro Neto (£5.0m), Ruben Neves (£5.2m)
  • Bonus Points: Ruben Neves x3, Jimenez x2, Dendoncker x1

Patient Raul Jimenez (£8.1m) owners finally had something to cheer on Sunday afternoon as the striker scored from the spot and banked eight points in Wolves’ 3-0 win over Everton.

Those still holding Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.3m), on the other hand, will have been less than impressed by another poor offensive showing from Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

The striker did register two shots on target – which accounted for the Toffees’ total on that metric – but Rui Patricio (£5.3m) did not have to break a sweat saving either effort.

Jimenez’s penalty was won by Daniel Podence (£4.9m) just before half-time, while Leander Dendoncker (£4.4m) doubled Wolves’ lead immediately after the restart.

Diogo Jota (£6.0m), used from the bench, added a third for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side on 73 minutes while fellow substitute Adama Traoré (£5.6m) missed a gilt-edged opportunity late in the game.

Nuno Espirito Santo said of his side’s display:

You are in pain (after a defeat) but you stand up the next morning and you have to go again. That is the game.

We had a lot of actions today and didn’t concede too many chances, it’s always about trying to upgrade and raise the standards.

It was not our main objective (keeping in touch with the top four), there were things we should improve. It’s not about that, it’s about trying to create and raise standards so we become a better team.

Our finishes were not so good, look at the chances we had. Adama is not going to have an easier one.

Ancelotti, meanwhile, was fuming with his players after the final whistle:

It was really frustrating today. It was a really frustrating performance.  The team didn’t show a good spirit. We have to consider this more than the technical and tactical aspect. 

It was not good enough and the spirit of the team was unacceptable. We have to show, in the last three games, that we have a different attitude.

There are excuses but I don’t want to have excuses. The performance was not acceptable. I have already spoken to the players. We have to prepare the next game and have a very different attitude.

The Italian attempted to match Wolves by opting for a wing-back system in the opening half, with Lucas Digne (£5.8m) surprisingly operating as the left-sided centre-back behind wing-back Leighton Baines (£4.9m).

Romain Saiss (£4.7m) set Podence away almost immediately after kick-off, though the winger’s on-target effort was collected without issue by Jordan Pickford (£5.2m).

Theo Walcott (£6.2m) put Calvert-Lewin behind the Wolves defence a minute later in a very similar pattern of play, with the striker’s effort from an angle meaning a simple save for Patricio.

Matt Doherty (£6.2m) then had a sight of goal but slipped just before shooting, which produced a scuffed effort that went well wide.

On the quarter hour, Walcott sent an inviting cross into the Wolves area but neither Calvert-Lewin or Richarlison (£8.2m) were well enough positioned to connect.

Digne picked up a booking after 19 minutes for obstructing Pedro Neto (£5.0m) as the winger tried to race onto a Jimenez through ball.

The defender then made a crucial interception to help out Pickford as Podence almost found Neto in the Everton area.

After 25 minutes, Podence rode his luck to beat Michael Keane (£5.2m) before advancing into the box but his near-post effort was turned behind by Pickford for a corner.

Moments later, Jimenez produced some dazzling skill in the box before forcing Pickford into another save from an overhead kick.

An injury to Yerry Mina (£5.3m) saw Seamus Coleman (£5.3m) introduced after 30 minutes, with the Ireland international slotting in as a right-sided centre-back. Mason Holgate (£4.4m) missed out with a shin injury for the second consecutive gameweek.

Digne ‘s afternoon went from bad to worse just before half time as his foul on Podence inside the area saw Wolves awarded a spot-kick.

Jimenez made no mistake from 12 yards to hand Nuno’s side a 1-0 advantage going into the break.

Ancelotti abandoned the wing-back system at the interval, with 18-year-old central defender Jarrad Branthwaite (£4.0m) replacing Baines to allow for a 4-4-2 formation.

Wolves immediately took advantage from a 46th-minute free kick as Dendoncker got ahead of Branthwaite to steer a header past Pickford.

The Everton keeper almost put the ball into his own net after 60 minutes, letting a Podence effort slip between his legs but just about rescuing the situation before the ball fully crossed the line.

Pickford then managed to deny Jota – who was played through by Ruben Neves (£5.2m) – as the attacker bore down on goal, though the forward did his opponent a favour by getting his legs in a tangle before shooting tamely.

That save ended up at the feet of the on-rushing Jimenez, who could only win a corner with his attempted shot blocked by the backtracking Everton defence.

The Toffees did not heed that Wolves warning, however, as Jota fired home in the 76th minute after being once more set free by a brilliant Neves pass.

Calvert-Lewin managed to put a header on target from a Digne cross in the 76th minute but Patricio was once more equal to the Everton striker.

Traoré owners will have despaired at the attacker’s 86th-minute miss, as he managed to hit the top of the crossbar from six yards out after being found by Jota’s square ball on yet another Wolves break.

On Podence, who impressed from a roving attacking role, Nuno said post-match:

I think he played good. Daniel is a talented player. Today, he was able to help the team.

He arrived later, everybody knows, and he was getting his moments – getting ready. It’s all about that, trying to use the players in the right moments.

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patricio; Saiss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Dendoncker, Doherty; Podence (Traoré 71), Jimenez (Moutinho 77′), Neto (D Jota 55′).

Everton XI (3-5-2): Pickford; Baines (Branthwaite HT), Keane, Mina (Coleman 30′); Digne, Sigurdsson, Davies, Gordon (Bernard 55′), Walcott (Iwobi 55′); Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison (Kean 62′).

    Would you pull the trigger on Mane -> Sterling? 1FT, £1.4m ITB

    Pope, 3.9
    Trent, Digne, Lascelles, Saiss, 3.9
    KDB, Mane, Bruno, Martial, Pulisic
    Ings, Greenwood, DCL

    Who is a better pick for the 5th midfield spot?

    Current midfield:

    Ederson - Martin

    TAA - Doherty - Lascelles - Holgate - Taylor

    Mane - KDB - Fernandes - Willian - McCarthy

    Rashford - Vardy - Greenwood

    Thinking Mane to Sterling?

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

            Yes, but those could be voided after 90 mins last game and Arsenal 3 days after

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

              Eh, go for the ticket with highest winning chances imo

              1. Whazza
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years

    3. The Red Devil

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

      I've not been taking hits but using my ft haha
      GW33 Foden to Mahrez
      GW34 Salah to Foden
      GW35 Foden to Sterling (C)

    5. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      On paper, yes.
      But if ppl are saving FHs (or don’t have) and they want to take a punt on replacements scoring more than 4pts more then why not have a bit of fun!

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

        Do you think Raz will start vs Bournemouth ?
        I think I'll feature in Rough if i sell KDB for him 😕

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Literally no clue. But I know which one I prefer for points atm.

          KDB playing deeper when Dilva on the pitch also

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

            On FH no way KDB stays in my team for GW 38
            This GW is so tricky man

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

        Nothing wrong with having a bit of fun trying to get lucky 🙂

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

      KdB to Raz TC worked out well for a hit. Go with your gut!

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

        My gut is bad since Restart.
        Must be something in the air

        1. Slitherene
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You miss some, you hit some. Gotta take the chances with just a few GW's left.

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

            Yeah
            3 to go.

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

        I think we have a lottery winner! Congrats

  8. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez to Dilva with FT?
    Have to play Lascelles if Aurier doesn't start

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

      I think so, see my post below

  9. FPLord
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which way to go?

    Team with one transfer Mane > Pulisic
    Pope (Leno)
    TAA Stephens Aurier
    Pulisic KDB Mahrez Fernandes Martial
    Greenwood Jimi (DCL)

    FH team:
    Pope/McCarthy (Martin)
    Azpi Digne AWB (Stephens Diop)
    Pulisic (c) Fernandes Sterling Dilva Antonio
    Jesus Ings (Greenwood)

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

    Bruno (C), Rash and Greenwood left to play, terrible GW so far with 28pts.. how many do we think they will get?

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

      30+6+8

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

        aha amen to that! lets hope...

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

    Wish I had FH - easy play this week just fill up on 3 x Chelsea and City attack plus Ings, United defence maybe TAA if you can afford and Pope, Job done.

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

      I prefer my sctual team to the one u just proposed

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

      Which City? What about Antonio/Salah? Picking just 7 attackers is making my head hurt

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

        If I had FH Id go something like:

        Pope
        AWB TAA Wolves def depending on cash
        Sterling Dilva Foden Puli Willi
        Ings Giroud

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

          No Azpi?

          Isn't going without Fernandes, even for one week, too risky?

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Saving FH for gw38, hopefully leaked team news with all games starting at the same time

    4. tibollom
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      would not be better to use for the last day?

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

        Personally I'd worry about 38 being a proper lottery even with team news

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

    Mahrez to D.Silva? I feel the Pulisic is a one GW punt and their fixtures against Liverpool and Wolves will be difficult. I can see D.Silva playing in the BOU game, missing the Arsenal FA cup and playing the Watford and Norwich game.

    1ft 1itb
    Pope
    TAA Doherty Aurier
    Martial KDB Bruno Sterling Mahrez*
    Ings Greenwood
    Martinez Jimenez Saiss Taylor

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

      What do you think the difference in minutes and points will be between mahrez and dilva? I’m thinking about going w mahrez for next two and then just picking whoever plays in gw38.

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

        I think D Silva will get more mins and points

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

      Anyone? I can also see Foden playing the same games as D Silva but there is an away game against Watford so Pep might not start him

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

      Could you maybe do doh to alonso/ azpi as your one week punt and then rots on bench thereafter? I’m just not sure mahrez -> dilva pays back and I agree that puli is too much of a one week punt

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

    Anyone tempted with willian/Pulisic instead of dilva?
    I'm getting Sterling & ings mostly, can have willian or dilva

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

      Same dilemma here mate

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

        Going without Chelsea against Norwich seems so risky

  14. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    RMFHT

    de Gea
    TAA, Doherty, B. Davies
    KDB, Bruno, Pulisic, Willian, Son
    Rashford, Giroud (c)

    Cresswell, Hause, Conolly

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Context: season is over and only ML to play for which all look toast (40 pts behind)

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

      Distinct lack of ManCity

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd sneak Antonio in for FH

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

      Some team that, rate the captaincy shout

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hopefully it doesn't turn out like your gravatar

        1. Tev
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Hahaha that was also vs bottom of the league at home- bad omens

    5. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Being a spurs pessimist, I'd probably go rash to greenwood to free up funds, son to sterling and change ben davies.

  15. SuperHam
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which combo do you prefer? and would you do both for a -4 or just one for free?

    1. Vardy > Jesus
    2. Vardy > Ings

    Anyone know if that FPL review website is legit? My ML rival has a luck rank of 99% whilst I have a rank of 5%- I’d like to claim that sums up our seasons 😀

        Just a website that gives teams a luck rating based on its calculation of your expected points- as below, a nice excuse if it says you’re unlucky, a load of bull if it says you’re lucky. You choose

      Personally think anything that quantifies luck based on xG is total rubbish but it's always nice to have something that backs up your excuses 😉

      1. Tev
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Haha I think there’s an element of truth in it based upon the fact that xG almost always reverts to the mean. Basing it on odds however...

                    Pulisic Willian can be awesome vs Norwich

    Assuming Pulisic starts is it worth transferring in for KDB and reverse move in 37? Rest of midfield is Sterling Foden Bruno and Martial all of whom I expect will get more game time than KDB this week. Other alternative is to get Giroud in for a week for Jimenez and transfer following week to Ings- I am needing to take some risks to catch ML leader.

    A Pulisic move
    B Giround move

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Rashleigh Runabouts
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic has a higher ceiling than Giroud. Check for leaked chelsea lineup first. KDB could still get 60 or 30 mins. Rest of your midfield is decent. I was thinking of a 1 week punt on Giroud then to ings but I prefer Pulisic after what I have read on here, ref Giroud making space for the mids to exploit. GL anyway!

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

        Thanks- and you!

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

      Im in a similar spot. I think Im going the Giroud move personally because Norwich are just so weak aerially. Rather lose Rashford in my case than KDB.

  19. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah to Sterling (c)
    Jimenez to Jesus
    Mahrez to Pulisic
    Gayle to Ings
    Doherty to R.James

    (-12)

    And bench boost

    Thoughts?

    If Abraham starts I will just do Jimenez to Abraham and keep Doherty. Unfortuanetely dont think he will.

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

      No, -12 is crazy given most of the players you are removing are starters and scoring reasonably well

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Jimenez, Doherty to get 2 pointers against Burnley imo, and Jimenez's wife is due

        Dont want Gayle in BB.

        Mahrez to be benched vs Bournemouth

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

      Woah -12 is a bit too much

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

      That's a lot of hits and you have good overall ranking and decent team so I think I would just go Mahrez to Pulisic and Jimenez to Jesus. Salah could do well against that Arsenal defence and you could captain Jesus who will probably play 60 minutes and looked good

  20. Kane Toads
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Salah > Sterling for FT for the run in? I have KDB and TAA.

      Foden

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

    Not sure I got a whole lot from the Pep comments in the earlier article

    So, should I tinker with this team or save to use 2 freebies in gw37?
    A few really good weeks recently but this current gameweek has been a disaster. Currently 45 points from top10k goal

    Pope
    AWB Digne Boly
    Salah Kdb Mahrez Bruno Willian
    Rashford Vardy
    Button Kiko Holgate Nketiah

    Options:
    Bring in sterling for salah and captain - is he must own
    Bring in Jesus for Vardy
    Just save and captain Willian
    Anything else obvious?

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

      I think Sterling will play and if he does, he is unstoppable at the moment. I wasted a transfer bringing Salah back in after his 18 pointer as i got nervous not owning him but think Sterling outscores him to end.

    2. Saro0808
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      i would rather hold till the late and do the transfer then.u never know what peps gonna do.
      solid team tho.another choice is ings(good upcoming fixtures)
      If you 2 transfer,you can drop awb and William for martial and another defender.martial has been better than rashford lately.

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

        thanks for the input
        I do prefer greenwood over martial. Definitely keeping Willian vs Norwich
        I'm actually on Rashford captain this week so will once again see if he can bag some points
        Sterling does seem the obvious move but don't think we will find out anything before the deadline

  23. Saro0808
    • 6 Years

    Should i drop auba/ vardy for Ings?
    i can go for -4 and get antonio/someone else xx.

      Auba is awesome for 37/38. Vardy fighting for golden boot also.
