Scout Notes

What next for Chelsea assets with Liverpool and Wolves fixtures on the horizon?

Chelsea 1-0 Norwich

  • Goals: Olivier Giroud (£6.7m)
  • Assists: Christian Pulisic (£7.3m)
  • Bonus Points: Cesar Azpilicueta x3 (£6.1m), Antonio Rüdiger x2 (£5.9m), Marcos Alonso (£6.1m)

Christian Pulisic (£7.3m) did just about enough to remain on the Fantasy radar for the remainder of the season as he assisted the only goal of Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Norwich.

It means the American still has attacking returns in all but one outing since the Premier League returned in Gameweek 30+.

Whether his 12.8% ownership believe he can continue that form into the last two games of 2019/20 remains to be seen though, considering Chelsea face Liverpool (away) and Wolves (home) in Gameweeks 37+ and 38+ respectively.

Despite Frank Lampard’s men not quite finishing off Norwich on Tuesday evening, Pulisic’s backers have probably seen enough to justify holding him for those fixtures that do appear rather difficult on paper.

Significant Free Hit usage among top 10k FPL managers for Gameweek 36+

The left-sided attacking midfielder did find himself crowded out at Stamford Bridge at times but managed to carve out a number of openings and, on any other day, could have come away with a double-figure haul.

In the 15th minute, he managed to drive through Norwich’s middle and into the box, denied only by a well-timed block by Ben Godfrey (£4.4m).

Nine minutes later, Marcos Alonso (£6.1m) cut the ball back from his trademark advanced position on the left, which Pulisic ran onto, curling it into the side-netting. This is a shot that the American particularly likes taking, scoring with it as recently as the Gameweek 34+ trip to Crystal Palace.

In the 35th minute, Pulisic went close again, this time chesting down an Antonio Rüdiger (£5.9m) cross from deep, juggling the ball and shooting on the swivel – denied by Tim Krul (£4.6m) tipping the effort onto the crossbar for a corner.

Pulisic finally got a deserved attacking return on the stroke of half-time as he drifted into Alonso’s area to take over the Spaniard’s crossing abilities, dropping a perfect cross onto the head of Olivier Giroud (£6.7m).

The mid-priced midfielder was less effective in the second half but still had an excellent chance to get on the scoresheet in the 74th minute. Giroud held his run and chipped a through-pass over Pulisic’s shoulder, which the American hooked towards goal with excellent technique, denied once more by a sprawling Krul save.

“I was delighted with Christian’s movement to run behind on the little angle because that’s what we weren’t doing enough of in the early stages in the game.” – Frank Lampard

Obviously, Norwich have been offering much more than other defences in the Premier League, but there is still plenty of encouragement to take from Pulisic’s latest display. Next opponents Liverpool have conceded in three of their last four, giving up the joint-third-most big chances in that time, suggesting that Pulisic may get more opportunities at Anfield.

Owners of Giroud may consider holding the Frenchman for the same reason as he really should have come out of the win over Norwich with a hatful of goals.

He was afforded eight shots at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening with Chelsea’s attack geared around getting the ball up to the front-man.

Reclaiming his starting berth from Tammy Abraham (£7.4m), Giroud went about his business relentlessly.

In the 19th minute, Jorginho‘s (£4.9m) ball over the top reached the striker following a poor headed clearance from Godfrey. With the defender still in his back, Giroud tried to lift his shot over Krul but hooked it into the goalkeeper’s arms.

Before finally getting a deserved goal on the stroke of half-time, the former Arsenal man scuffed several crosses into the box and nodded a Willian (£7.4m) corner wide of the post afterwards.

Just before coming off for Abraham in the 86th minute, Giroud put a golden chance just wide of the post. Willian got into space on the right-hand side, flashing his cross in front of goal, which the striker tucked just wide of the post.

While some will say that he should have done better to increase his conversion rate on Tuesday night, the fact that Giroud was so central to everything Chelsea did does bode well for future starts, and the possibility of further attacking returns on the quest for Champions League football.

“Oli will always be alive to those in the box. If you’re playing Olivier Giroud you want to get balls into the box, you need to play to his strengths, and he gets a really good goal. But the link-up (between Giroud and Pulisic) is good.” – Frank Lampard

Either way, the fact that Norwich’s defence allowed yet another team’s centre-forward upwards of eight chances in a match is good news for Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) in Gameweek 37. The Burnley forward has either scored or assisted in each of his last four Premier League appearances.

Meanwhile, Willian owners may have come out of Gameweek 36+ frustrated at back-to-back blanks but, like many of his colleagues, the Brazilian was unfortunate not to get something at Stamford Bridge.

His corners were not all up to scratch but had Kurt Zouma (£4.7m) and Giroud could have produced better efforts on the end of two of them, Willian would have been looking at a pair of assists, each of them putting comfortable efforts wide or over the bar.

As already mentioned, Giroud was responsible for costing the Brazilian an assist just before he was subbed, while Willian’s direct free-kick in the 88th minute was repelled by Krul.

As the 2019/20 season winds to a close, it was encouraging to see strong Fantasy displays from two cult heroes of the game in Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.1m).

Each of them kept a clean sheet against Norwich, although that is not too much of a surprise, but they also shared in the bonus and were unlucky not to get attacking returns too.

Alonso was by far the more advanced of the two, but Azpilicueta still provided plenty of creativity overlapping with Willian on the right.

He put in several crosses for Giroud and played an exceptional switched ball over the top for Alonso at the back post in the 76th minute. The left-back was unable to steer his header either side of an advancing Krul but reminded Fantasy managers of the advanced positions he is capable of taking all night.

In the 65th minute, it was Alonso who nearly got the assist for Azpilicueta’s effort, the left-back’s cut-back whizzing past Pulisic, Giroud and Willian for his right-sided counterpart to curl a first-time effort just over the bar.

That said, investment in either of these options between now and the end of the season would be a bold decision, with Liverpool and Wolves waiting.

The clean sheet kept on Tuesday evening was just Chelsea’s second of the Premier League restart, and their 49 goals conceded this season is the worst in the top half of the Premier League table.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Alonso (R James 80′), Rüdiger, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Loftus-Cheek (Barkley 66′), Jorginho, Kovacic; Pulisic (Hudson-Odoi 81′), Giroud (Abraham 86′), Willian.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Lewis, Klose, Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey (Stiepermann 78′), McLean; Hernández (Idah 78′), Rupp (J Martin 89′), Cantwell (Buendía 71′); Drmic (Pukki 78′).

    Rashford getting an honorary doctorate, announced this morning. Celebrating with a goal or two tomorrow night?

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

      Hopefully!

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

      He's been looking lively lately, unfortunate to not get more points.

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

        Martial looked most lively last game.. He's going to haul soon 16-20pointer incoming in one of these last 3.

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

          Sure, Martial has looked very good. I'm just saying Rashford is getting better and better after being out for a long period of time because of his injury.

          1. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Certainly, throwing his hat into air celebration can see it now

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

          Martial has been hauling in every home game since the restart anyway.

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

    In 8 hours, we’ll know what’s what....

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

    A) Vardy + JRod
    B) Nketiah + Aubameyang

    Currently have Vardy + Nketiah and with the money to make either of the upgrades.

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

      B - especially if only one is needed to start. You already have a bench option at the back no?

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

        I'm bench boosting this week. Both will start this week. Next week might transfer out Vardy if I do A.

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

          probably A then

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

        Its very handy alright - recently got a Vimle for an attic conversion - cheap as chips & very comfortable!

        Best of all they come in flat packs so very handy if you do have to get them up stairs or into an attic etc

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

          *Don't get the sofa beds or the ones with built in storage though unless you absolutely need them, all the extra mechanics under the cushions make them less comfortable to sit on - loads of colours to choose from too

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

            might lay into one actually so sofa with built in storage is great 🙂

      I know a lot could change in the meantime, but how does this look for a provisional transfer plan?

        It's making me moist tbh

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

      CITY PREDICTIONS!!! Let's see who can work out PEP, please state number of minutes you think below players will play.

      KDB - 30ish
      Dilva - 90
      Sterling - 60ish
      Mahrez - 30ish
      Jesus - 60ish
      Foden - 90

      I would not be at all surprised if one of Jesus/Sterling is also rested and brought on for last 30.

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

        KDB 60
        Dilva 90
        Sterling 60
        Mahrez 30
        Jesus 60
        Foden 90

        3 years, 8 months ago

        KDB 70
        Dilva 70
        Sterling 90
        FODEN 59 sad face emoji

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

        I don't think Sterling and Jesus can both get 60 - more likely 60 and 30.

        I think Sterling starts and Jesus finished the game.

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

          Agreed

          Dilva and Foden to start and KdB to replace Mahrez? Can that work?

      4. AFCB2019
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        KDB - 30
        Dilva - 90

        • Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years

          No. of transfers has been skewed by the unlimited transfer post lockdown tho.

          1. Dele
            • 7 Years

            Very good point, something I didn't take advantage of enough haha

        • Botman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          I've only made 43 transfers. I'm perpetually fearful of hits haha.

        • pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          All messed up by 30+ where I made 11 transfers (and lost 2 mill!) but plenty - including an accidental -4 in 30

          18 hits and 84k

        • Patron
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          73k rank and 50 transfers, but lot of those were from gw 30+ right? So its kinda irrelevant.

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

          76 transfers! But I made loads during the unlimited restart period and these seem to have been counted.

          I take a lot of hits - I track the progress of the new players versus those I have taken out over a three week period. 47 points up so far as it stands.

          Horrible season languishing at 1 mill+ for most of the year, but risen to 130k since GW28, looks like I'll reach my Xmas target of avoiding my worst season ever.

          1. grumpyman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              Does that mean your down 13 points when you take the hits into consideration or did you already do that?

        Either BB next GW or in 38.
        Trying to figure out some changes too.
        Anything standing out?

        Pope.
        TAA, Azpi, AWB.
        Pulisic, Sterling, KDB, Mahrez, Fernandes.
        Vardy, Greenwood.

        Are Pulisic cappers happy enough with the 6pts or super disappointed?

          Just happy he didn't blank tbh

        2. Pinturicchio10
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Dont own but I would be concerned if I had captained him.

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

              I'd be concered with KDB, Mahrez and Jesus in my team. Pep roulette inc

              1. Pinturicchio10
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  It the risk that we take. A couple of their players are likely to haul so average captain return will be crushed by any teams. We shall see.

                  1. Pinturicchio10
                      3 years, 8 months ago

                      Sure. Just difficult to find the right one when you dont know who will start. 5-0 last game and no KDB involvment as well. But we shall see, most likely will other captain choices outscore Pulisic this week.

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

                Happy enough. At least it's not a blank. Lets see what the other captain choices do, then we can sum up.

                Feeling disappointed as I took it off sterling just as the early team news hype came in, also seeing my rivals with sterling captain...can only hope for a sterling 1pt cameo...seems unlikely.

                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  They should feel slightly better than Willian cappers

                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  I regretting capping him as soon as the deadline passed. My low expectations mean I am happy enough with a 12 point return. I think there will be some worse captain fails than him this week.

                • Sterling Archer
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  think this will all depend on the City score tonight!

                  Won't be enough but at least it's not a 4 pointer (like I got last week for swapping Martial for Mane...)

                  Ouch.

                  Id be dissapointed with 6 points, expected a haul from him. glad i didnt captain him

                Plan for GW37: Ederson Pulisic to Pope Mahrez - makes sense?

                Ederson
                TAA/Doherty/Kiko
                Salah/Sterling/KDB/Bruno/Puli
                Rash/Green

                Martin/Lasc/Holgate/Connolly

                  Yes if Mahrez is rested tonight.

                    • 7 Years

                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Risky on close to zero bench but could work.

                  Looking at the move from Ederson to Sterling in 38 in my case (already hold Dilva over Mahrez)

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

                    Hope everyone will start 37 and have FH for 38.

                  Like this idea
                  Can do it myself with Raz instead of Mahrez as i already have him.

                  Watford hopefully would be safe after this GW. I

                Who to bench?

                KDB - Mahrez - Salah - Bruno - Martial
                Greenwood - Ings - Jimi

                Currently on Greenwood but might switch to Jimi

                Chances of KDB starting tonight?

                Might need a big sofa!

                Sold him for Pulisic but it's part of a bigger plan to upgrade Puli to Salah this week or next. Also I wanted to own City's front 3 (Sterling, Mahrez & Jesus) for last 3 gameweeks.

                  Brought Antonio in and captained last wk =52 pts.

                  Brought Sterling in and captained this wk =52 pts.

                    Be a better story if they hadn't both hauled the same gameweek.

                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  No chance Sterling will be getting the golden boot, 6 away and that's with out Vardy scoring any more, he cant score hattys every game

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

                    With the level of opposition they have in the last 3 games, he could if the team tried to help him, but I highly doubt that's in anyone's mind and he'll probably continue to get less than 90 min in most games.

                    If u watched the game u wouldnt think we were unlucky. Those were poor shots... thank God he got that one in. Puli cappers were unlucky tho, such a great player.

                  Good plan:

                  Pulsic and DCL our for Aubameyang and 4.1 For -4. 1st hit since the break.
                  Gives me

                  Pope
                  TAA, Doherty, Aurier
                  KDB, Sterling, Bruno, Martial
                  Aubameyang, Greenwood, Ings

                  Button, Taylor, Lascelles, 4.1

                  38

                  Talking about hits, I took one for Giroud last night and very nearly paid off, need to take one in 37 and 38 as well. More inclined to take them now after bottling taking one last GW Salah to Sterling

                    to be fair thats how i see it... but both KDB and Raz will come one in that case to get some match fitness. Might get a brace anyways...

                    They don't play two anchors against weak teams though. Gundogan and Fernandinho is way too defensive against a team like Bournemouth.

                    Will have either KdB or Sterling and Bilva will be in midfield.

                  I’ve got the exact right money to do Willian -> Mahrez for Man City’s game against Watford.

                  Is Mahrez likely to play? Any thoughts on whether ManC will still be trying in the league, given 2nd place is secured?

                  I’ll wild card for last GW so this is a 1gw plan only!

                  Starting to feel like the Mahrez - Pulisic move I made was not very smart!

                  Hope Raz( C) and Foden can make up for it.

                    I think it's smart. Really doubt Mahrez starts.

                      That was my thinking, never been able to guess Pep though!

                    As a Mahrez holder I would love it he started love it

                    Looks like you’re in the same Sterling captain camp like me.. let me tell you buddy, this was a v. silly mistake which will only lead to disappointment

                      I dont know mate, have had some pretty good luck with Sterling over the last two seasons. Feeling pretty good.

                    Guys, I mistakenly captained sterling and am almost certain that he’s going to play only 20mins or so towards the end.

                      20 mins against a likely tired BOU defence. Still worth the risk imo.

                  Pep will be ending seasons tonight when he benches DSilva,
                  Foden, Jesus and Sterling

                    Yeah, and plays Mahrez again

                      Makes it more fun though doesn't it? The unknown. Feast or famine. Come what may.

                      My season is already over, so I did Mahrez > DSilva for a hit. Won't be surprised at all if Silva doesn't play now.

                          😆

                          Same here. I wouldn’t mind if Silva is benched tbh 🙂

                            Desperate for him to start! He's the only differential I have that can help me in the OR/mini leagues. Should probably have captained him as well, but ended up captaining Fernandes instead.

                        And if they all play, then what? More seasons ended because players didn't captain out of fear.

                      Everybody in my ML has got rid of Mahrez.

                      Please Pep play him from the start!

                        Wouldn't that be something!

                      What do people make of Claude being sacked from AFTV for racism? Was my favourite but can’t condone calling Son “DVD”

                        Haven't read about this in particular, but as an Arsenal fan, I can't stand AFTV. It's just garbage.
