Scout Notes

Wood’s aerial threat bodes well for Brighton match as Burnley get behind Pope

Norwich 0-2 Burnley

  • Goals: Chris Wood (£6.1m)
  • Own Goals: Ben Godfrey (£4.4m)
  • Assists: Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m), Erik Pieters (£4.2m)
  • Red Cards: Emi Buendía (£6.0m), Josip Drmic (£5.3m)
  • Bonus Points: Pieters x3, Phil Bardsley x2 (£4.3m), Wood x1

Two red cards for Norwich were perhaps the key factors in Burnley’s attacking assets leaving a little to be desired by their respective Fantasy managers in Gameweek 37+.

The favourable meeting with the Canaries sparked interest players such as Chris Wood (£6.1m), Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) and Dwight McNeil (£6.0m) in the lead-up to Saturday’s match but the New Zealand international was the only one from that trio to come away with any attacking returns.

In bizarre circumstances, Norwich found themselves reduced to nine men before half-time, thanks to recklessness shown by Emi Buendía (£6.0m) and Josip Drmic (£5.3m).

Their sendings off made this the first Premier League game to see a side suffer two red cards in the first half since 2015, highlighting how much of an enigma the opening match of Gameweek 37+ proved to be.

As a result of the man disadvantage, Daniel Farke’s men lined themselves up in exceptionally compact formation for the second half, effectively lined-up in two banks of four with no striker, in a 4-4-0 formation. That left Tim Krul (£4.6m) to do what he does best, producing seven saves across the 90 minutes.

“You know it’s going to happen. They just went to two banks of four and defended their box very well.” – Chris Wood

That obviously made it harder for Burnley to capitalise on the red cards, much to the frustration of those who had backed the Clarets hoping for more explosive hauls.

There will be some that say the freak nature of the 90 minutes makes it hard to take too many FPL lessons from, but there were a few nuggets worth analysing.

Firstly, this game highlighted once again that Wood is the clear aerial threat for Burnley and the most likely to get on the end of crosses into the box.

We chose him for the Gameweek 37+ Scout Picks on the basis that Norwich had recently been susceptible to headed attempts on goal. He may not have chosen to attack Johann Berg Gudmundsson‘s (£5.9m) first-half cross with his head, but netting it with a bicycle still demonstrates what Wood is capable of in the air.

“There was a chance he would miss all the games, so he’s done ever so well to get back out there.” – Sean Dyche

That will be encouraging for those who brought the Burnley forward in for Gameweek 37+ as he may also be useful on the final day of the season.

The Clarets face Brighton next Sunday who, between Gameweeks 30+ and 36+ conceded 23 headed attempts, third only to Norwich and Newcastle.

Those who invested in Rodriguez can certainly consider themselves unlucky not to see him come away from Carrow Road with a decent haul as his blank was not for want of trying.

In the 20th minute, the former Southampton man cut through the middle, after good hold-up play from Wood, before slicing wide.

Rodriguez then fired a powerful shot at Krul in the 38th minute, only to see the goalkeeper meet it with another good save. Had it gone in, Wood would have been credited with the assist.

Just after the hour-mark, Rodriguez nipped in at the front post to get on the end of an Ashley Westwood (£5.5m) corner, Krul on hand to make another instinctive stop.

His final opportunity came in the 83rd minute when an intricate piece of passing play set Rodriguez up on the edge of the box. He curled a high effort towards goal that looked destined for the net, but the Krul stretched sufficiently to catch it.

McNeil also had opportunities to get involved in the goals and his owners will also be cursing Krul’s heroic efforts to keep the score respectable at Carrow Road.

The young winger had Burnley’s first real chance of the game as he dropped the shoulder to lose Buendía in the middle, drove forward but fired over the bar.

He went a lot closer in the 41st minute when won a free-kick on the edge of the box. Despite his tender age, McNeil assumed responsibility for it, his direct effort deflecting off the wall and forcing a palmed save from Krul, produced as he fell to the ground from the power.

However, this match highlighted perfectly how difficult it is to pinpoint the assisters for Burnley. Wood looks central to their cross-heavy tactic, while McNeil is one of three players who provide the service. Gudmundsson’s return to the team on the right flank was the reason Wood found the net, while Westwood’s set-piece duties also make him another source of crosses.

Nick Pope (£5.1m) owners could not be displeased with what they saw on Saturday evening, as Burnley helped him achieve a 15th clean sheet of the campaign.

They might have been a little miffed that the Clarets’ shot-stopper was just one save short of an additional point, but against a Norwich side that has not troubled anyone since the restart, nobody was really expecting more than the standard total of six.

His owners would have been likely to start Pope again in Gameweek 38+ anyway but there were some interesting post-match quotes from Wood, who acknowledged that the entire Burnley squad is aware of how close he is to getting a hand on the Premier League’s Golden Glove award.

With that in mind, he made a empassioned commitment to helping Pope get another clean sheet in Gameweek 38+ when Brighton come to Turf Moor. With little left riding on that game other than Pope’s chances of winning that award, could we potentially see an even more defensive-minded performance next Sunday?

“As a team, we’ll be fighting like hell for him. He’s an outstanding goalkeeper. Hopefully, we can get him one more so he can get his hands on the Golden Glove.” – Chris Wood

If that were to be the case, Erik Pieters (£4.2m) could be a budget differential to consider on the final day of the campaign.

He came away from the Norwich game with a double-figure score having kept a clean sheet, providing an assist for Ben Godfrey‘s (£4.4m) own goal and securing all three bonus points.

Despite Gudmundsson reclaiming his station on the right of midfield, Pieters was able to keep his place in the team following Charlie Taylor‘s (£4.4m) hamstring injury and is likely to be in consideration for the left-back berth once again in Gameweek 38+.

Recent outings in midfield had clearly inspired Pieters ahead of this Norwich game, as he ventured forward to provide width, especially in the second half, going close to scoring himself just after the interval.

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Lewis, Klose (Zimmermann 46′), Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey (Vrančić 90+3′), McLean; O Hernández (Idah 86′), Buendía, Cantwell (Rupp 76′); Drmic.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Pieters, K Long, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Gudmundsson (Brady 59′); Wood (78′), Rodriguez.

    Have BB available for GW38 and so guess I have to make a boring defender transfer? If Holgate is fit then I'll ship Masina for:

    A Gomez
    B Pieters
    C Tierney

    Martinez
    Boly / Azpi Tark
    KDB / Sterling / Bruno / Sterling / Willian
    Jesus / Greenwood

    Patricio / Nketiah / Holgate / Masina

    1. rdamjan

      Holgate is out.

    Making a FH team for gw 38 is harder than I thought it would be ... So many options...

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

      Tell me about it mate
      What’s your current draft?

    2. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think Carlson who is in the top 10 still played it this week without a city asset
      When I cycled through his team I could see it potentially returning big and thought if I played one I’d try not to get sucked into city and Liverpool too much gw38

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

      At the moment I have 3x City attack, 3x Man U attack, Antonio, 3x burnley def (Pope being one) and Cresswell
      and a bench of people who play.

  3. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Need help in choosing 5 of my front 7 for FH. Salah and Dilva confirmed. Between the rest of them.

    A) Pick 3
    Martial
    Bruno
    Son
    KDB
    Mahrez
    Sterling
    Foden
    Antonio

    B) Pick 2
    Rash
    Greenwood
    Auba
    Kane
    Ings
    Jesus
    Vardy

    Currently leaning on KDB Foden Bruno and Kane Auba

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why so determined to have salah?

      I’m thinking of taking him out

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Newcastle are knackered at the back.

      2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I just can't. Had him all season. He's my fav player. He's been top FPL scorer last 2 seasons and is the highest even this season. Always been reliable.

    2. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't go Foden, City have the best fixture so max out on their best assets.

      If money no object then
      Sterling, KDB, Bruno

      Auba, Kane

      1. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Absolutely love that. But can't afford even with the cheapest defence. If you could lose one out of those, who would it be?

        1. QuintonFortune25
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Probably Kane

      2. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes and no need for a full playing bench? Maybe one will do..

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

      I’ve got those two plus Willian as it’s his last game, Aruba going for boot, Jesus for city plus Bruno cos he’s bruno

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

        And greenwood because he’s cheap

      2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I'm not convinced about Chelsea players against Wolves. Looked pretty whack against Norwich too. Just too many other better options.

    4. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Son Bruno *sterling*

      Auba ings

  4. QuintonFortune25
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this early FH team?

    Martinez
    Robertson - Pieters - Bardsley
    Salah - Sterling - Mahrez - Martial - D.Silva
    Auba - Ings

    Cheap bench

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

      Haha same as my option B below except I have Son over Mahrez in current draft

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I'm starting to think most FH teams will have 8/9/10 players the same. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, I suppose ill see how my rank is looking at the end of 37

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

    Morning all

    Which combo on FH?

    A) Jesus, KDB, Antonio, TAA
    B) Ings, Sterling, Martial, Robbo
    C) Rashford, Sterling, Antonio, Robbo

    A means no Utd players which feels dangerous but has 3 MCI.

    Martinez
    XXXX, Pieters, Bardsley
    Salah, XXXX, Dilva, Son, XXXX
    Auba, XXXX
    (Martin) (Greenwood, Thomas, Simpson)

    I’m torn atm!

    Cheers

    1. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B of course

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

        What do you reckon to Son vs a 3rd MCI mid? Son is back in decent form and Spurs should be able to tear CRY a new one

        1. QuintonFortune25
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah i like Son, but surely triple City against Norwich has got to be a priority on a FH?

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

            If we can have any degree of certainty that Mahrez starts then yeh but no partic reason why he should massively outscore Son imo

            1. Party time
                3 years, 8 months ago

                + you get the extra bonus points from elsewhere since the points will be shared in the city game & rotation, early subs etc

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

                  This

                  Only part of problem at City is rotation. I’m still smarting from that KdB C blank in a 5-0 against Brighton. Easy to miss hauls with City

          2. Party time
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Son has a good record vs palace & palace’s defence is shite

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

                This. And would Mahrez necessarily outscore him?

                1. Party time
                    3 years, 8 months ago

                    It could happen but I am pretty much settled on Sonny

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

                      Yeh I think I may be also

          3. Martial Matas
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            B

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

              Thanks mate

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

            B looks better

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

              Thanks bro. It’s my favourite atm

          5. Bring back Rafa
            • 4 Years

            A

        2. King Kohli
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Thoughts here with 2 FTs?

          Pope Hendo
          TAA Doherty Gomez Long Taylor
          Salah Raz Bruno Mahrez Foden
          Rashford DCL Greenwood

          0.1 ITB

          1. QuintonFortune25
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Excellent team, I would get Auba in for Rashford, not exactly sure how you fund it though. Maybe sell Henderson for a bench fodder?

          2. Martial Matas
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Could you afford DCL to Ings by downgrading hendo?

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

            Doherty DCL >> Creswell Ings

          4. Lucky Z
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Doherty + Rashford => Anyone + Auba

        3. Jet5605
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Which is safer for GW38

          A Double BUR defence
          B Double ARS defence
          C Spread risk and get Aurier or Stevens

          1. Lucky Z
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            How many to spend?

            1. Jet5605
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              5.8

              1. Lucky Z
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Digne also an option

                1. Jet5605
                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  I like him but think Bournemouth could beat Everton if they are fighting to stay in the league

          2. Bring back Rafa
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            If you're chasing I like the idea of double Burnley
            If you're leading spreading is better

        4. Lucky Z
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          AoA chip would be so useful with so many attacking options

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Do you think arteta will risk auba against Watford ? Thanks

            1. Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 9 Years

          2. Martial Matas
            • 8 Years

            Yeah I was missing it this week. Particularly as was down to 2 defs!

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

            FH is substitute for AOA.
            I take it 100 times out of 100 if offered

            1. Lucky Z
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Of course FH is a brilliant

          not sure if this free hit is a bit too iffy for next week.
          help much appreciated, lads and ladies...

          Ederson / (martinez)

            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            That strikers force is shambles IMO.
            They're kids. Won't expect anything from them.
            I'd let go one big midfielder & upgrade one of them ay least

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

              Anything more than a goal*

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

              i agree. that's the iffy bit, but was thinking that last day of the season is usually "kids" day. not sure who to downgrade either 🙁

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

                Ederson
                Bruno

            3. Vazza
              • 3 Years

              You can’t win anything with kids!

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

            Not too keen on double hammers defence

          3. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I would definitely WC that team.

          4. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Wood on the bench ? Id rethink team if I were you 🙂

          5. Lucky Z
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Why spend 25 mln on Salah + Mane? Awful team IMO

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

            Downgrade mane and upgrade strikers

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years

                Definitely he’s going for the boot he won’t pass to anyone

                1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

            I wouldn’t go without the best striker in the league at home to a rotten Sheffield United

              Martial is playing Leicester. I think you are mixing up fixtures 😛

              Benteke's suspended and playing Spurs though 😉

          Do you think arteta will risk auba against Watford ? Thanks

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

            Where's the risk ?
            Home game
            Golden boot
            Probably last home game for him too.
            I see him starting if fit

              Thanks Amey. Injury b4 a final maybe ? Hope your end of the season goes well 🙂

                On 95k now ...
                Was close to 10k with 7 points. Gap is 89 now .... Facepalm !

                FH will give boost hopefully. GL to you too bro !!

          Assuming no injury this GW, I'm planning to bring DSilva in for Foden for final GW and will probably TC him. Whimsical nostalgia or a cunning plan? (Currently 12 points behind leader in my money mini-league.)

          Triple Burnley defence are the first names on my FH team sheet

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            No space for digne ?

        9. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Have had triple united attack until this point, on a fh now, contemplating going without any..madness?

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            In the same boat, im sure its gunna hurt us. Would like to squeeze martial or bruno in

            1. Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Not sure I ll get any but risky.

          2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I would have one just to be safe. Leicester have an awful defence tbf. It will be an open game with a lot of goals.

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

          Tarkowski, VVD or Digne for the final gameweek?

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

            Van dijk

          2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Newcastle are in the bottom 3 for headers conceded, maybe VVD can nick a goal.

          3. IRBOX ⚽
            • 7 Years

            Tark, Digne, VVD in that order

          FH thoughts
          A) Auba Wood D.Silva

          David Silva getting subbed off in the 21st minute next weekend would be funny! 😀

          1. fr3d
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I’d be worried about this if crowds were allowed at the stadium

          2. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Funnier if he gets 21 points 🙂

          3. lilmessipran
            • 11 Years

            Didn't get this? why 21st?

          4. LegendMoon
            • 7 Years

            I reckon he’d rather get a couple of goals on his final appearance

        14. DAZZ

          Would love a Saints clean sheet today. Wont happen, but it would be nice

        15. Lucky Z
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Guys. Considering that neither Chelsea nor ManUtd will fall below 6th place, does it mean that 7th place gives Arsenal UEL spot regardless of FA Cup Final result?

        16. dandalf

          How would you rate my earls thoughts of my FH for GW38?

          Martinez,

          TAA, Tark, Pieters

          KDB, Sterling, Dilva, Salah, Bruno,

          Ings, Rashford,

          Martin, Gomez, Kiko, Nketiah,

          Would really apriciate some of your insights?

        17. Chandler Bing

          Will we get early team news? I'm BBing and have Charlie Taylor.

          1. DAZZ
            • 9 Years

            Dont even think The Rockstar knows himself yet

          2. ElliotJHP
            • 11 Years

            Think Scarface is taking over the mantle

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

              Has he provided reliable info has he? I dont go on twitter so don’t recognize his name

            • 13 Years

            Taylor will not be fit. Hamstring injuries take a while. I got rid this week.

                100%

            • DAZZ
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              KDB Sterling DSilva

            • QuintonFortune25
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Sterling, D.Silva and then either Jesus, Mahrez or KDB. Id go Mahrez due to value, lower ownership and his explosiveness

            • ElliotJHP
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Sterling KDB and one of Silva Mahrez or Jesus

            • Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Ask my after Watford game 🙂 d Silva for zure

          3. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            If Otamendi starts, I will be very tempted. He has a Watford like haul in him.

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

              A bit suicidal

            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Interested to see Martinez everywhere

            1. Arsenal defence dodgy
            2. Arsenal likely to be out of Europa bar FA cup - full strength just possible - full tilt no way
            3. Watford will need a goal

            1. Kindness
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Arsenal defence is not dodgy at all

              • QuintonFortune25
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Arsenal defence has looked solid recently, they're on good form and Watford will need a penalty to score

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

                1. They showed clearly yesterday that their defense is not dodgy.
                2. They don't need to rest because they have plenty of time before the next game.
                3. Yeah but Watford are awful. Lots of teams need goals, but typically good teams get them.

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

                  Arsenal are not going to use the same game plan at home to Watford compared to City in a cup semi. For all Watford's flaws, they've shown they can hurt the big teams IF they turn it on. The Villa match will be a good test for Arsenal to see what they can do against a rubbish team fighting for their lives

            2. Old Gregg
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              How about a 4-5-1 FH team.

              Martinez
              Pieters-Egan-Gomez-Creswell (3.9)
              Salah-Sterling-KDB-Dilva-Son
              Auba-(Greenwood)-(niketah)

              1. Lucky Z
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Would not sacrifice attacking spot

            3. FPL Joker
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              To get D. Silva in and Captain:

              A) For Mahrez
              B) For KdB
              C) For Ederson & Pulisic and -4

              1. g40steve
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Possibly C

            4. Mr.K
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Martinez
              Robertson - TAA - Pieters
              Salah - KDB - Sterling - Fernandes
              Ings - Rashford - Greenwood

              Too risky without a bench?

              1. Lucky Z
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                FH? Would have D.Silva rather than Rashford

                1. Mr.K
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  And play 3-5-2? Yes, it's FH

                  1. Lucky Z
                    • 6 Years
                    3 years, 8 months ago

                    Yes

            5. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              How does this back 4 look?
              Martinez
              VVD Tark Toby

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

                Not keen on Toby ,must be better options

            6. g40steve
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Can you make this team better with two FT?

              Ederson
              Digne, Stevens, Boly,
              Salah, Kdb, Fernandes, C Sterling, Martial,
              Ings, Vardy

              Button, Greenwood, Lamptey. Taylor

              .3

              1FT

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

              Which team for GW38

              A
              Patricio
              TAA Robertson Dunk
              Salah Sterling Dilva Martial Dilva

                • 4 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Sorry Fernandes replaces one Dilva
