Scout Notes

Nine shut-outs in 13 games for Wolves as Palace are hit by fresh defensive injury

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Crystal Palace

  • Goals: Daniel Podence (£4.9m), Jonny (£5.5m)
  • Assists: Matt Doherty (£6.5m), Raul Jimenez (£8.1m)
  • Bonus: Doherty x3, Podence x2, Jonny x1

Matt Doherty (£6.5m) bagged his sixth double-digit haul of the season and moved within one point of Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) in the Fantasy Premier League points table after a typical slow-burner of a display from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday.

Wolves have made a habit out of indifferent starts and strong second-half performances and their latest victory over Crystal Palace was no different.

The hosts had registered only two shots on goal in the opening 40 minutes against the Eagles, with the visitors going closest to scoring when Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.4m) whistled a shot narrowly wide of Rui Patricio‘s (£5.3m) left-hand post.

Joao Moutinho (£5.3m), Doherty and goalscorer Daniel Podence (£4.9m) combined beautifully for the deadlock-breaking strike, however, and Nuno Espirito Santo’s side never looked back from that point on, turning in a silky display after the break that culminated in a goal for Jonny (£5.5m).

The Wolves boss echoed that assessment, saying:

Two different halves, it felt much better in the second half, I think we played better. In the first half, I think we should have moved the ball faster. We had a lot of lost possession of the ball that allowed counter-attacks and chances to Palace, so that made the team a bit unstable.

In the second half, what we did better, we were more organised, we won more second balls and we were more threatening in our attack, with more possession of the ball. We had good combinations and good chances.

Jimenez claimed the (fortuitous) assist for Jonny’s goal after a sliced effort of his own and that 24th attacking return of the season was enough to move him into second in the FPL forwards’ standings, just eight points off the magic 200-mark.

He seldom looks like producing a monster score (he only has one double-digit haul to his name in 2020) but the consistency of appearances and returns makes up for it, with the Mexican striker never registering more than three successive blanks this season or last.

While Podence, Adama Traore (£5.6m), Pedro Neto (£4.9m) and Diogo Jota (£6.0m) continue to share pitch-time around him, Jimenez has started 36 of Wolves’ 37 league matches this season.

He may still be a sacrificial lamb in many Gameweek 38+ Free Hit squads but it’s been another phenomenal season for the Mexico international, who, given his track record against the ‘big six’, could still very easily find the back of the net at Stamford Bridge next weekend.

This latest win was again built on a solid defensive showing.

Some early-game wobbles slowly gave way to a more assured display at the back, with Willy Boly (£4.9m) in superlative form after a rare error that led to Schlupp’s chance.

It’s a well-worn stat but it’s no coincidence: Wolves have kept 12 clean sheets in 21 games with Boly in the side and just one shut-out in the other 16 matches without him.

Doherty and Jonny evoked memories of 2018/19 by supplementing their clean sheets with attacking returns, and now Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) is the only FPL defender who has more of those than the Ireland international (12 – four goals, eight assists) this season.

Rui Patricio‘s (£5.3m) owners would have enjoyed their evenings, too, with the Portugal international making his third and final stop – and thus collecting an extra FPL point – deep into second-half injury time.

Romain Saiss (£4.8m) missed out on the points bonanza, however, with Santo indulging in some more low-key rotation and benching the Moroccan for the first time this calendar year.

For Palace, this was almost a repeat of their Gameweek 36+ display against Manchester United in that they battled manfully and had a few half-decent openings but were ultimately outclassed by a better side.

With interest in their Fantasy assets low (none of their starters had an ‘effective ownership’ over 0.2% in the top 10,000 of FPL), their chief role on the final day will be in providing opposition to Spurs and their in-form attacking assets.

This was Palace’s seventh defeat on the spin and they have conceded more goals and big chances than any other team in that time, although the calibre of opposition has to be factored in.

Already without the injured Gary Cahill (£4.4m), Patrick van Aanholt (£5.6m) and James Tomkins (£5.0m), the Eagles lost Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) to a muscle injury on Monday, with Roy Hodgson turning to midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate (£4.9m) – and not Martin Kelly (£4.1m) – to deputise at centre-half.

For those looking at Harry Kane (£10.9m) or Son Heung-min (£9.7m) next weekend, Palace’s patched-up back four – which included youngster Tyrick Mitchell (£4.0m) at left-back – weren’t particularly overrun or stretched but did concede further presentable opportunities to Traore and Podence in the second half.

Hodgson said of Mitchell’s full Premier League debit:

I’m full of praise for his [Mitchell’s] performance. I thought he was excellent today and he must be delighted to have got through that game as he did, albeit on the wrong end of a [losing] scoreline.

I don’t think he could have done any better than he did and I don’t think I can say his playing instead of Patrick van Aanholt was the difference between us winning and losing.


Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patricio, Dendoncker, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny, Traore (Neto 81′), Jimenez, Podence (Jota 72′).

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita, Ward, Dann, Sakho (Kouyaté 23′), Mitchell, Townsend, McArthur, McCarthy, Schlupp (Riedewald 72′), Zaha, Ayew.

    Anyone else kinda gutted the league is ending and we have to wait a month before fantasy kicks off again?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. Bad season, looking forward to the next.

      Feels great, cant wait to get this season off my back. Its been painful and need and new season asap

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Can't wait for it to finish. This is my 12th season and probably my least enjoyable. Debating whether to play again next season tbh!

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I took a couple of seasons off and came back this season. Had lost the fun but the break did me good and enjoying FPL again.

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          For me I really just haven't been able to put the time into planning like I used to. I've made spur of the moment transfers that made no sense which of course have backfired. Like this week I dropped Aurier for Egan. I didn't need to, but I did it anyway!

    4. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nope.
      Terrible season

    5. FPLHaggis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. Kill this season with fire.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Downgrade Auba and upgrade to Salah as a suggestion.

  4. FOO FIGHTER

    Does this look tasty?

    Jesus to Kane FT

    Patricio
    TAA Dunk Aurier Doherty

      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

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

    Do we think Branthwaite will start the last game?

    1. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Good chance to start with Mina and Holgate injured.

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

      Yes

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

      No replacement so yes

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

    So who starts tonight?

    Sterling or Jesus

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      both, Jesus 65 mins

    2. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling as Fals9.

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

      Bilva Sterling Mahrez - 37

      Dilva Jesus Foden - 38

      Imagine that...

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

    Do you think Vardy is being overlooked on FH teams? Utd defence certainly not watertight

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

      I reckon most will be getting rid of Leicester assets.

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

        Leicester defence definitely....

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

      He has done OK but the lack of atmosphere and slow pace of games is not his environment really.

      1. TKC07
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Too many other good options available to get on FH.

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

          This

          Also lower ceiling than lets say Kane, Jesus & Auba. But think he'll score one

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

      Yes he's being overlooked. And for good reason. Leicester are in awful form.

      United have only conceded two goals in the last six away games in the league. Both DDG errors.

      Kane, Auba, Ings, Jesus... so many better options. Not to mention most will be going for 352 so that's one less forward spot.

    4. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hmm maybe I'm looking at different stats

      1. rowdog24
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        There is only one reality

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

    Chances of KDB and Foden starting today?

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This is a tough call, even as a KDB owner, I hope he plays both just to get him back in rhythm, which has been missing from City these past few games.

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

      Both to start

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

    seeing a lot of FH teams without KDB...

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

      Out of him and Jesus for me. Sterling Silva first two picked.

  11. More Cowbell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    These GW38 fixtures look ripe for some random big hauls for anyone wanting to roll the dice. Great if you're chasing, scary if you're leading!

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

      Queue Richarlison hat trick against a Bournemouth team chasing for goals

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pukki bags a hatty to cap the season off.

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

      Sterling will go 4 goals !

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

    Stuck between
    A De Bruyne and Ings
    B Jesus and Antonio

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

      A man

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A fore me

    3. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B for me.

      Don't fancy Ings for a haul against tight ShUtd def.

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

      A all day long

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

      B

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

    Foden to troll us again tonight or can we expect some decent returns from him for a change?

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

      whatever happens it his last game in my team! a nice parting gift would be nice, otherwise I will likely avoid forever more

  14. GROBARI
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My team
    Pope
    TAA VVD AWB Lundstram
    KDB Traore Bruno
    Vardy Jimmy Greenwood
    My bench: Button Kelly Cantwell Grealish
    I only have BB for this GW
    Is this transfer good?
    Vardy,Grealish out Kane,Dilva in
    Or is there a better choices?
    I have 2.6m in my bank

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

    Who wins this ongoing week?

    A) Welbeck, VVD, Willian Bruno + 5 points

    B) Martinez, TAA, Dilva, Martial

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

      probably A

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

      a

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

      A

    4. TKC07

      B

      1. TKC07
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        B for GW38 I meant.

    5. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B definitely

  16. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking City might absolutely batter Watford tonight. They don’t even have Pearson there to keep them in check anymore. Could be a bloodbath

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

      Yeah agreed.

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

      Stopped buying into this city bashing everyone rhetoric. It happens once in a while but city have to be the most overrated side on here theyre not as good as they used to be

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

        Theyve won 5-0 twice in their last 4 games...

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

        Thrashings this season:

        5-0 WHU
        8-0 WAT
        4-0 BHA
        4-1 BUR
        6-1 AVL
        5-0 BUR
        4-0 LIV
        5-0 NEW
        5-0 BHA

        That''s 9, plus the six 3-0s/3-1s that I didn't include

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

      Don’t know mate - I’ve played Foden ahead of Greenwood and am expecting the worst.

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

      Everyone thought City would destroy Bournemouth.

      5 subs taking all the excitement away of owning City assets.

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

        Bournemouth played really well though and had shown signs of improvement in the lead up to the game

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

          This

          Plus I expect a stronger City line up and performance today

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

          No excuse IMO.

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

      Hoping you’re right and KDB to take most of the plaudits

    6. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Monster haul for KDB. Banker 20+ pointer

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

        Amen

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

      I doubt it. They obviously don't care much anymore after securing the 2nd place, just like Liverpool since winning the title. They could still destroy Norwich because Norwich is so bad but relegation fight and the bounce Pearson's departure will make things harder for City today.

      City will probably still win because there is such a big difference in quality but I don't expect a big margin.

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

    If you get 3 starting for city tonight, you are in for a massive green arrow

    KDB, Foden & Sterling the ideal treble I'd say

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

      I have KdB and Sterling (non captains).

      Really hoping Jesus is benched.

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

        Same 🙂
        Doherty, Bardsley, Pieters did the job. Ings had a rough day.
        Now it is up to Sterling, KDB, Fernandes(C), Martial, Rashford and Martinez!

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

          Oh and Pulisic ofc!

          1. Party time
              3 years, 8 months ago

              😆

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

        I have KDB, Sterling and Mahrez
        This is make or break for me
        Rival has none

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

          I can see all starting

      3. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Fingers crossed, Sterling KDB(C) and Silva

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

      Foden likely to start today?

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

        I am hoping Dilva Sterlind and Jesus start but I know what is coming my way...

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

          I’m done with picking City players - it’s not worth it in my opinion.

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

            Next season I will probably go KDB, but that is it.

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

            Yeah, you can have a really beefed up starting eleven without City.

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

        Yes

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

          Do you have him in your starting XI ?

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

            No

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

              but am on BB, don't even own him anyway

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

      Cant se Dilva to start tonight but really need Foden and KdB to start.

      After Saiss disappointed last day cant even get 11 players out.

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

        They will

    4. stepper1971

      Tight to stay in 2nd in my ML and 2.8 ITB 1FT where do I spend it with this team? Would ideally upgrade Greenwood to Ings but 0.1 short

      Pope
      Mendy/VVD/Azpi (Cathcart and Lacselles)
      KDB/Foden/Martial/Bruno (Saka)
      Vardy/Greenwood/Kane (C)

      Any advice appreciated

      Current FH hit for GW38

      Martinez,
      Trent, Pieters, Branthwaite
      Salah, KDB, D Silva, Fernandes
      Kane, Auba, Greenwood.

      Stek, Lamptey, B Williams, Guendouzi - 0.0ITB

      Good to go or where to improve?

      Obviously will wait for team news tonight.

      But does the falling warrant a -4?

      KDB, Connolly to Silva, Kane

      Would also allow me to put Greenwood on the bench, right now I have no playing subs!!

      Vardy owners (without a fh)... What you doing? Shipping or keeping for last game?

      If getting rid, then who for?

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

        Auba or Kane

        A

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

      So which 2 or 3 City attackers you're going with for GW38+?

      A) Sterling
      B) KDB
      C) Jesus
      D) Mahrez
      E) Dilva
      F) Foden

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

        We'll have to see line ups tonight. Currently have ABC

        If on free hit would go BE & one of Sterling/Jesus

        All depends on line ups tonight tho, if Mahrez was benched (unlikely) I would have him

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

          Yeah makes sense
          I'm probably having Sterling Dilva nailed, will have to decide on the 3rd option, but of course everything can change based on team news

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

        A, C and E atm both will wait as long as I can for maybe some early team news

      3. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        not on free hit, so probably what I have now; KDB, Sterling Dilva

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

          This already looks great for you, many might just go for these 3 only in their FHs as well

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

        I will have KDB, Sterling and Jesus. Would be great if they all start.

        Capt choice will likely come down to who starts in the Watford game.

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

          Great combo, avoiding the Dilva train then

      5. ElliotJHP

        A D E atm

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

          Nice, I'm owning Mahrez for the previous 4 weeks and it has been a bit frustrating, which worries me to pick him for 38+

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

      Both the MEN and Independent are predicting KdB and Sterling to start with Jesus benched.

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

        So Sterling starts 37 and Jesus 38.

        Well then either Greenwood or Aurier as autosub if Jesus gets no minutes this week.

        In that case I will keep Jesus for 38 and to Sterling(benched) to Mane.

        MEN predicted both KDB and Mahrez benched for Brighton away mate and they both started haha

        Anything about D Silva starting ??

        Predictions from these papers mean diddly squat.

    11. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      How do you think Leeds will fair in the EPL next season?

      I don't know much about them tbh, nor how well funded they will be in terms of any new transfers.

      I doubt they'll be able to replicate Sheffield United's first season back but expect they'll do ok. Maybe they'll provide that bargain starting 4.0m defender or a nice cheap 5th midfielder perhaps.

      What do you reckon?

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

        Relegation

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

        If they have a starting GK at 4.0 then I am in.

    12. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Reckon Arsenal continue their good form with a win tonight or will they struggle against a more rested Villa side with everything to play for?

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

        I guess it will be tight, maybe 1-1

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

        Good question, the trend is the defensive part they have consistently improved ... curious with the line up and also Nketiah

      Morning all, thoughts on this FT team? maxed out on budget and no bench

      Martinez
      Aurier • Pieters • Long --- b.williams simpson
      Salah • Sterling • Martial • Dilva • Antonio
      Jesus • Auba --- connolly

      Concerns/Thoughts?
      - at the moment, none of my bench play which isnt ideal
      - Worth downgrading stering >> Mahrez to get TAA as one of the def?

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

        Not sure I'd have Salah on a FH for the final week tbh. Liverpool have looked a bit out of sorts recently.

        I'd perhaps consider Kane in a 3-4-3 and upgrade defence with leftover £.

    14. Will J 256
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      What does everyone think. Kane or Aubameyang?

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

        Neck to neck, pick the club you are supporting?

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

        Kane is flavour of the day.

        I prefer Aubameyang, can't see Kane getting more than one return.

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

        Both on a FH, Auba if it's one or the other.
