Scout Notes

Palace defence out of form ahead of Gameweek 36+ meeting with United

Yet another Fantasy Premier League deadline is only a day away so, with time against us, we will rattle through the main discussion points from two more Gameweek 35+ fixtures in an abridged Scout Notes below.

Watford v Newcastle United and Aston Villa v Crystal Palace are our featured games in this article.

Porous Palace

An away clash at Crystal Palace would ordinarily be a tricky test on paper.

From Gameweeks 1+ to 30+, Palace had the joint-sixth-best defensive record in terms of goals conceded and only three sides had kept more clean sheets.

Since then, however, the Eagles have lost five on the spin and conceded more goals than any other team.

Without arguably their best centre-half in the injured Gary Cahill (£4.4m) and drifting towards a lower-mid-table finish, this seems to be a good time to take on Roy Hodgson’s troops – and it’s Manchester United who face Palace next in Gameweek 36+.

Aston Villa had only scored twice in eight games before Sunday’s clash in the Midlands but they doubled that tally in one fell swoop against the Eagles.

A double for Trezeguet (£5.2m) handed Dean Smith’s side their first victory since January.

Patrick van Aanholt (£5.6m) blanked as a result of a fifth successive clean sheet loss but, as is his wont, he so very nearly popped at the other end with a late consolation, registering Palace’s only big chance of the match with a shot that Pepe Reina (£4.2m) saved.

Gayle Force

Among sub-£5.5m forwards, Dwight Gayle (£5.0m) is second only to Mason Greenwood (£4.9m) for FPL ‘form’ over the last month.

Gayle scored the opener in Newcastle United’s 2-1 defeat at Watford and has attacking returns in four of his last five starts, with his only blank coming in the 5-0 defeat at Manchester City.

The budget striker tapped in Federico Fernandez‘s (£4.6m) flick-on to give Newcastle the lead, later being denied by Ben Foster (£4.9m) and setting up Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) for the Magpies’ only other ‘big chance’ of the match.

Steve Bruce’s recent change to a 4-2-3-1 has certainly led to a bit more attacking thrust from the Magpies, although no clean sheets in five matches (their previous two shut-outs were recorded against ten men) does suggest that it has come at the expense of some defensive stability.

Dawson’s Leap

Deeney on the Spot

Troy Deeney (£6.2m) emerged from Watford’s win over Newcastle with a 13-point haul, which is more than he had managed in his previous six appearances combined.

The Hornets’ striker was indebted to two penalties to end his goal drought and in truth, his threat from open play remains limited – his four shots on Saturday (two of which were from the spot) more than doubled his total for the previous five Gameweeks.

His only other clear-cut opportunity was presented to him by an awful Fernandez clearance and the mid-price striker shot straight at Martin Dubravka (£5.1m) with the goal at his mercy.

Deeney limped off towards the end but Nigel Pearson said after full-time:

Troy has what I would call a ‘grumbly knee’ that he has to manage on a daily and weekly basis. This is nothing new, it’s something which he’s come to terms with and has to manage, so you may see him with a bandage today, but it’s nothing new.

Injuries and Bans

Christian Benteke (£5.7m) will miss the remainder of the season after being sent off for violent conduct after the final whistle at Villa Park.

Jordan Ayew (£5.1m) will now presumably revert to being a central striker for the last three Gameweeks, after a spell on the right flank.

Villa lost two of their defence to injuries on Sunday, with Kortney Hause (£4.4m) pulling out in the warm-up and Neil Taylor (£4.2m) being substituted after 36 minutes.

Ahmed Elmohamady (£4.1m) was given the nod at right-back, with Matt Targett (£4.3m) making a timely return from injury to replace Taylor on the opposite flank.

Line-ups

Watford XI (4-2-3-1): Foster; Femenia, Kabasele, Dawson, Masina; Capoue, Hughes; Sarr, Doucoure, Welbeck (Gray 90′); Deeney (Cleverley 85′).

Newcastle United XI (4-2-3-1): Dubravka; Manquillo, Lascelles (Lazaro 87′), Fernandez, Rose (Krafth 79′); Schar, Shelvey; Saint-Maximin, Almiron, Ritchie (Joelinton 72′); Gayle (Bentaleb 79′).

Aston Villa XI (4-3-3): Reina; El Mohamady, Konso Ngoyo, Mings, Taylor (Targett 36′); McGinn, Luiz, Hourihane (Nakamba 80′); Trezeguet (El Ghazi 88′), Samatta (Davis 80′) Grealish. 

Crystal Palace XI (4-3-3): Guaita; Ward, Dann, Sakho, van Aanholt; Zaha, Kouyate (Riedewald 66′), Milivojevic (Meyer 75′), McArthur (McCarthy 46), Ayew (Townsend 66′); Benteke.

    C’mon Southampton!
    Hope you guys play a great game like you played against Man City.
    UTD 2-2 SOU
    Greenwood and Ings brace

  2. Catastrophe

    Fair play to OGS just picking his best team every game!

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

      Explain how Lingard is not starting then?

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

        Must be injured

      2. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He’s not good enough.

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

      Ride til the wheels fall off which they will

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

        Well let's see but 10 points off top 4 in October and now in pole position for 4th even 3rd so pretty happy at the moment!

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

      Quite possibly some performance clause in his contract to get United into Champions league next season.

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

        As if you need a clause to try to get CL..

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

          Given where ManU were when he took over, I expect his contract may have been terminated if he didn't achieve CL in a specified time.

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

      Attackers are getting subbed off early.
      No need to run behind ball too much with good ball playing players in the team so good possession.

      Winning games easily so no need to break a sweat ...

      Long may this continue

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Was much more funny when OGS was doing badly.

        Bruno saved him, without him he'd be sacked.

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

          Or he was one of the important part of the jigsaw 😉

        2. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          The difference a world class player can make!!

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

            Ohh yeah

        3. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          A manager only adds around 15% maximum. It's mostly players that make the difference.

          What Ole has got right though is recruitment, and has the improved the atmosphere massively - amongst the players and fans. That part is immeasurable.

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

        Or.. Not many options on the bench?

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

          Enough*

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

          There are tbh
          Mata James can easily replace Bruno Greenwood vs an easier opponent.
          (No near world class attacker though yes)

          Sancho might solve that 😉

        3. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Not blessed with an amazing bench but for the first time in a while we do have good players there - McTominay and Fred were probably our best players before the restart and Ighalo a decent option also. We certainly don't have the depth of City but getting there slowly!

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He worked them hard in pre-season, and in the training prior to their return. Looks like it's paying off.

      Ole is huge on fitness.

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

        Yes, that's it.

  3. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would appreciate some advice here please:

    Martinez
    TAA Doherty AWB
    Salah KDB Bruno Pulisic Foden
    Vardy Greenwood

    Button Jimenez Kiko Lascelles

    1ft, 1.0itb

    I'm considering one of:
    A. Jimi to ings
    B. Martinez to Pope
    C. Salah (due a rest?) to sterling

    Any of those look good? Any better moves available? One ML rival has ings and another has sterling so that's influencing me a bit

    1. LE CHARO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would do Vardy to Ings

      1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Could be a good idea

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

      I wouldn’t do B, not worth wasting a transfer on GK (even with liv this week). I have Martinez and he has two good fixtures after

  4. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Soton !

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

      Yes yes

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

    Suuurely Ole will rotate his squad against palace. Who will sit out ?

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

      Nope, more likely to rotate a little in the cup.

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

      Methinks he'll rotate in FA Cup - James, Fred, Mata etc.

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

      I think he might rest players for the fa cup game. i.e Ighalo plays the fa cup, Martial sits out.

  6. Abra Dubravka
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    2 FTs. £0.2m itb. No idea what to do. Any ideas?

    Pope (3.9)
    TAA, Doherty, Holgate (Aurier, 3.9)
    Salah, KDB, Mahrez, Willian, Bruno
    Jimenez, Greenwood (Rashford) ?

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Could look to upgrade Holgate?

      1. Abra Dubravka
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah although sadly can’t afford Azpi or AWB who is only 2 defenders I’d want this week

  7. EWH2020
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who wins?

    A) Martial and Greenwood
    B) AWB and Rashford

    1. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

  8. LE CHARO
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    On a FH, how is she looking? Anything you would change?

    Ederson
    Doherty, Azpi, AWB
    Mané, Sterling, Fernandes, Pulisic, Foden
    Giroud, Greenwood

    Bench : Pope, Ings, Digne, Saïss

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      ehhhh

    2. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good. Maybe consider Alonso ahead of Azpi, if we hear early team news?

      1. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. That's very much on the cards yes

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling

      1. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Interested to hear why. He's been rested recently and just scored a hat trick

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

          Fa cup

          1. LE CHARO
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah it seems to be the main worry here, but before his rest vs Newcastle, he started 4 (!!) consecutive games between GW31+ and GW33+ (incl. the FA cup tie vs Newcastle), so starting 3 in the space of 7 days would not be something surprising.

            Given how many consecutive games Jesus has started, I think he's actually much more likely to be benched in which case Sterling would be the main contender to start upfront

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

    What sort of injury is bad enough for you not to continue tonight but 100% be ready for next game?

    1. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dead leg maybe?

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

        That will do 🙂

    2. Deulofail

      Death of a family member

      1. Dynamic Duos

        Not this

        1. Deulofail

            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Not this either mate, been along time anyways mate, still refusing to have Salah ?

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

              I had him for the first time ever this season! Besides GW38 in a previous season.

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

                He is essential

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

                  Coincides with a terrible season for me, though. Lots of people selling him. OR 1 does not own him. You are wrong 😉

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

            You Cruel Man !

  10. Dion D's Solo Shower
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Got 2 FTs going in to next GW, who do I use it on?
    Need to get some Chelsea/City players in!

    Pope
    TAA* - Boly - Doherty
    Salah* - KDB* - Martial - Bruno
    DCL* - Greenwood - Jimmy

    A) TAA + Salah --> Alonso (if confirmed starter) + Sterling
    B) KDB + DCL --> Willian/Pulisic + Jesus
    C) Salah + DCL --> Sterling + Ings
    D) Any other?

    Let me know what you think, any thoughts much appreciated!

  11. Niho992

    Come on you mighty Liverpool B

  12. Oscar Slater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I'll be bench boosting this weekend. I've got thirteen pretty certain starters but alongside Salah, Martial and Bruno I've got KDB & Mahrez. I'll be taking a -4 to hopefully get fifteen on the pitch from the beginning. I'm thinking Sterling & Pulisic. Is this the percentage call or are there better options (D.Silva? Willian? Antonio? Richarlison? Son?)

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

      Bad week to BB, but so are next 2 IMO.

    2. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years

      Tough. Maybe B though, KDB will want to break assist record, United attack is excellent atm

  15. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    Hope it is a Man City vs Man Utd FA Cup Final. Would be good to see those two with their best lineups play each other.

    1. Amey

      sports scientist: ole your players are very tired how many of them do you want to rest for Southampton?

      ole: yes

      sports scienst: they're being run into the ground

      ole: yes

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He’s doing it the right way in my opinion, starting his strongest team and then resting players by taking them off early once the game is done.

        I’d rather have a game beat then bring the big guns to try and rescue a game because I didn’t start them.

        Fair play to him.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          *than bring the big guns on

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

        They have decent rest between games fortunately. Other teams not so fortunate!

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

        None of them have looked tired though

        1. Bruce Lee

      Same Utd lineup so nothing to talk about there! Would love it if someone answered though will be a bit of a slog! Should be interesting for anyone with FH chip left.

      FH 36 Team or FH 38 Team??

      36 - 7 mil leftover(!) so could switch in Sterling or Son for DSilva.

      38 - Tight for budget, defence quite cheap but more settled lineups and villa/bou likely relegated by then. I could switch in Firmino or Antonio for a city midfielder and pick Laporte/Mendy (as nailed a CS as I’ve seen in a while!)

      Martínez WAT(H) -
      VVD NEW(A) Holgate BOU(H) Taylor BRI(H)
      Salah De Bryune D.Silva Sterling NOR(H) Richarlison
      Lacazette DCL
      Bench - Wood/Rodriguez Egan SOU(A)

      It all hangs on how well City play against Bournemouth really who have Of course cost spurs and Leicester points in last two games. Will City B just scrape a win. Wk 38 I’m sure they will turn Norwich over easily and A team players guaranteed to start.

        I feel my team is better prepared for 36 than 38 which is why I will use fh38. I will take a gamble and lose all utd assets for 38 hoping leicester beats them and turn my attention to city treble attack treble up, richarlison and Digne and auba.

          Quite difficult to fit them all in as you can see. Feel Pool attack will still be important final week

        Definitely food for thought

        Your team is pretty good, but I’d do it to fit in Sterling and more Chelsea 🙂

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

          I'm concerned Sterling doesn't start

          Might go Foden David and Jesus

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

        If I had a FH left and was leading my ML, I'd save it for GW38 and copy my nearest rival's squad.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years

          He has FH too

      With all the lineup guessing games being played out at the moment is 36+ really a good week for the FH Chip?

        Thats why it is a pretty good week for FH.

        See my post above. 38 certainly less risk I think

        Sorry mate , we can't be having that tonight

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

        Weird. I've got some catching up to do over rivals who had Sterling.

        Capt Bruno - but so has everyone.
        Got Greenwood - but so has everyone.
        Got Rashford - ah, only me with others having Martial or a defender.
        Need a Rashie hattie then. C'mon lad, you're due!

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

          Yeah a lot of my rivals have Bruno but none of them opted to captain him this week, a lot went for City assets, or Salah.

          So a few blanks which is nice! I've got Rashford too so i'm with you there.

      To get this gameweek:

      A) D.Silva

        pulisic. But id prefer Dilva for the rest of the run in

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years

        Tough one , all I know is I have Pulisic and swapping him to Dilva 37+

        Most people are using FH to get KDB out for the week

        Otherwise good I suppose

        Start Antonio regardless

        Aurier no

        You may need to lose Aurier, his brother's just died in France. He might not play next game..

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

        I think I have a rough idea about the minutes the following players will play in the next GW..

        Player Likely/Unlikely
        KdB 30/60
        Sterling 60/30
        Mahrez 30/0
        Jesus 60/90
        Silva 60/90
        Bernardo 90/60
        Foden 90/60

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Can't see a 90 from Jesus tbh but the rest looks good.
