Scout Notes

Improved Villa defence brings goal difference into relegation battle

Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal

  • Goals: Trézéguet (£5.2m)
  • Assists: Tyrone Mings (£4.4m)
  • Bonus Points: Mings x3, Trézéguet x2, Jack Grealish x1 (£5.9m), Ezri Konsa x1 (£4.3m)

Aston Villa put the club’s Premier League destiny in their own hands with a massive 1-0 win over Arsenal on Tuesday evening.

It was a result that took Dean Smith’s men above Watford, whose goal difference had taken a battering at the hands of Manchester City, setting up a relegation showdown on the final day of the season.

Villa will travel to West Ham knowing that a win will keep them up, as will bettering the results of Watford and Bournemouth.

The Hornets have perhaps drawn the short straw in that they travel to face an Arsenal side that might want to produce a reaction to their Gameweek 37+ defeat at Villa Park, while Bournemouth face an out-of-sorts Everton side.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) is sure to have felt Tuesday’s loss most keenly, especially as it left him three goals short of Jamie Vardy‘s (£9.7m) tally in the Premier League Golden Boot race.

With Watford managerless and conceding a minimum of three goals in four of their last six outings, the Arsenal striker could be a force to be reckoned with on Sunday… We know Aubameyang is capable of man-of-the-match displays, as he showed in the recent FA Cup win over Manchester City.

“We need to transmit this enthusiasm and passion. There’s going to be some ups and downs but it’s good sometimes to see the reality and improve.” – Mikel Arteta

It was their continually improving defence that secured the win for Aston Villa against Arsenal, although they did ride their luck as Eddie Nketiah (£4.3m) struck the inside the post late on. 

Villa have now kept two clean sheets in the last three matches, each one leading to a massive three points for the team. Without the changes Smith made at the back, they would not be in the position they are ahead of the final weekend of the season. 

And now that goal difference is set to play such a key factor in the Premier League relegation battle, the Villans could play conservatively, opting to utilise the pace and guile of Jack Grealish (£5.9m) on the counter-attack as they did on Tuesday evening.

“We have to make sure we win at West Ham. We knew we had to show a lot of courage and work rate. It was a real team performance today. We defended the box very well, I don’t remember Pepe Reina making a save. The players all grew in stature tonight. Jack had his best game since the restart, Ezri has gone onto another level. It was a real team performance and it had to be.” – Dean Smith

If Villa were to execute their Gameweek 37+ gameplan at West Ham on Sunday, it could make life harder for assets such as Michail Antonio (£7.1m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m), who have been in decent form of late.

However, relying on Villa for goals themselves might not be the smartest move for Fantasy managers in Gameweek 38+. After all, they have scored more than one goal just once since the return of Premier League football.

As much as Smith’s men managed the win over Arsenal well, there were few moments of real danger posed by their attackers.

Trézéguet‘s (£5.2m) winning goal was a stunning effort although it might be hard to replicate at the London Stadium.

Outside of that strike, Villa and their Arsenal counterparts were mostly feeding on scraps.

The home side came closest to pressing home their advantage in the 74th minute when Grealish went on a powerful counter-attacking drive. His pass into substitute Keinan Davis (£4.3m) was perfectly weighted to allow the striker to get one-on-one with Emi Martínez (£4.4m), only to pull his effort wide of the far post.

John McGinn (£5.2m) then had a powerful shot saved in the 77th minute, the Arsenal goalkeeper able to stand up to the effort.

Aston Villa XI (4-3-3): Reina; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Elmohamady (Guilbert 25′); Hourihane (Nakamba 73′), D Luiz, McGinn (Lansbury 90+3′); Grealish, Samatta (Davis 72′), Trézéguet.

Arsenal XI (3-4-3): Martínez; Kolasinac, D Luiz (Pépé 60′), Holding; Saka (Tierney 60′), Torreira (Xhaka 46′), Ceballos, Cédric (Willock 79′); Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nketiah.

    Which Man Utd player to have for the Leicester game?

    Rashford or Martial

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Either really, maybe just Rashford as probably on the next pen if he doesn’t get it tonight.

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

      Fernandes > Rashford > Martial for me given it’s an way game.

      Lots will disagree though!

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

      Martial the cheaper, and playing up front on the counter against a team that evidently can’t handle it.

      Rash has a potential for pens if he doesn’t get one tonight but POO.

      Fernandes the safe pick.

      It really comes down to you as a manager.

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

    Can I get some thoughts on this FH team

    Martinez
    Aurier, Bardsley, Pieters
    Salah, Fernandes, Sterling, DSilva, Mahrez
    Kane, Ings

    I’d love to get TAA, KDB and Auba in but I can’t ... (could have KDB and TAA over Sterling & Aurier)

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

      Yeh looks smart, I’d be slightly concerned with Arsenals performance last night but that is the midfield I’m going for.

      I’m looking bat dropping Ings to Greenwood to keep TAA personally.

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

        Thanks - ye that’s definitely an option, Ings-> Greenwood and then improve defence/ keeper

    2. The Mantis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Downgrade Aurier to Branthwate (4m), another bench defender Williams for (3.8M)?
      Mahrez for a random 4.2m, Bruno to KDB?
      Ings to Nketiah?

      Should enable Auba/TAA funds at least

  3. Muller Reus Corner
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    For a -4 hit and TC, is it worth a -4 for Pulisic and Bruno —> Sterling and 4.8m midfielder?

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

      Yes, if you want to TC Sterling

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks! I don’t want to get rid of Mane or KDB, so I’m hoping the ManU game is quiet and Greenwood does well

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would. Soucek looks good at that price.

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cool! I hope the moves pay off.

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

        Great shout with Soucek

        1. Muller Reus Corner
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          He’s been scoring recently, but should I start him over Greenwood? I only have 1 ManU player.

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

            Hmmm - start Greenwood over Soucek though. More to play for.

            1. Muller Reus Corner
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Yeah and at least I will have some ManU coverage.

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

      Yes. Pick Soucek.

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

      Yeah think I'm gonna ditch Bruno for Sterling TC also.

  4. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Seeing a lot of Greenwood on here, either as the second or third choice striker, do we think he will be a good pick?

    Are we basing it off Leicester’s injuries, game against Spurs, or just that he is a good enough player to allow us a combo of city Liverpool spurs and arsenal players?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pace ripped Leicester apart, that's why I'm keen on him. And ofcourse his price.

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

        Will be interesting to see his minutes tonight, I’m hoping he is managed and shows enough to make me feel want to play him.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          yep, only concern is he is getting tired.

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

      He isn’t a particularly good pick On pure expected points but he is incredibly cheap and this enables all the other premiums you want.

      So at the price he is a good pick

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

        Yeh I’m slightly worried he will be one of those cheap players that we expect returns from outside of his price.

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

      No one better at the price, and points have been in midfields since restart.

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

        That’s true, with the power 5 in midfield it seems to be the logical way to go.

  5. XABI 15
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anything worth a hit?

    Pope
    TAA Boly Azpi
    KDB Salah Silva Fernandes Foden
    Vardy Ings Greenwood

    1. XABI 15

    2. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Is probably flip Greenwood and Foden, Foden played a lot last night so I can imagine he is rouletted for Sunday.

      1. XABI 15
        • 8 Years

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

    Hi all

    Was Saka poor last night? I had him on my bench for his recent hauls but managed to get all 1 of his points last night thankfully... ahem.

    Also, do you think he'll be dropped for Watford at home?

    Cheers

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

      Arsenal were poor as a whole. I would imagine a formation switch may jeopardise his position.

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

      Thanks. I assumed he had a bad game judging by the fairly early substitution. Will probably bench him for his haul next week, ha.

  9. Jet5605
    • 9 Years

    1 FT and 1.5 ITB. Still have BB but also interested in improving attacking assets. Is it better to have a full bench or best attacking assets?

    A Holgate > Pieters
    B Holgate & Martial > Dilva & Auba for a hit
    C Holgate & Martial > Dilva & Kane for a hit
    Other?

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

    Patricio / Nketiah / Masina / Holgate

    1. Vazza

  13. Jet5605

    How did Nketiah look like last night? Likely to feature against Watford? Guess he has plenty gas in the tank after his ban

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

      I'm keeping regardless. Can't afford to remove him and I'm gonna BB and hope he either starts or comes off the bench for returns.

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

      Was pretty anonymous but did hit the post. Would expect him to get minutes vs Watford

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Prefer he gets three days dungeon (no trial).

  14. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Not sure if I want Auba given Arsenal's motivation (best is 8th, focus on fa cup) while Watford will be fighting for survival.

    A) Martinez + Bardsley + Auba
    B) Ederson + Holding + Rashford (Is Holding nailed?)

    Rest of team:
    Pieters // Aurier
    Salah // Martial // Sterling // Dilva // Antonio
    Kane

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

    Which combo scores more points this evening -

      1. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nah, I was tempted but can see Vardy scoring, big game for them plus Jesus might be subbed

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Will KDB play deeper with Dilva playing? If so, KDB out.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years

        He will

          If he hauls I will hurl.

      2. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Too scared to move out KDB, going for assists record as well

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years

      maybe switch patricio to pope?

      1. Babit1967
        • 7 Years

        Thinking that is a boring but good move

  19. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    OK, think I've figured out my FH.

    Pope
    TAA Tark Aurier
    Salah Sterling KDB Bruno Silva
    Rashford Ings

    Norris Nketiah Thomas Williams 0.3m

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

      That looks strong.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, pretty happy with it! Huge TV being put to use.

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

          Oh definitely looks like it.

          I can't remotely afford that although if I take a -4 my team is similar.

          Will have:

          Pope
          TAA Pieters Aurier
          Sterling KdB Dilva Bruno Martial
          Rashford Ings

          So just Pieters + Martial vs Salah + Tarkowski. And I'm BB'ing as well with Martinez, Nketiah, Digne, Lamptey.

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Still looking quite strong yourself! Good luck with BB.

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

      You not worried about KDB being benched. Does not look himself and he played 90 minutes.

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

        There's no way he's benched imo.

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

          How do you know? Dilva will play. And If Dilva does play and KDB starts then he will be a holding mid anyway.

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

            Because they looked poor without him. And contrary to what you're saying he's looked pretty good. Most chances created, on all set pieces, links the midfield and attack etc.

            They'll go one of Fernandinho, Gundo, Rodri and then Dilva + KdB. Then up top 3 of Jesus Sterling Mahrez Foden Bilva.

          2. Nabs Kebabs
            • 12 Years

            what is this absolute BS people are spouting RE: KDB and playing as a holding mid 😆

            City play 433. KDB and Silva have almost always played as the two #8s. Yes, Silva goes further forward but KDB is an assist and long shot machine.

        Everyone scared of KDB 😆 More points for me. KDB will turn it up big time to send off his partner in crime and style. Everyone else can go pick Mahrez/Jesus 😆

          As a holding mid? Better options than KDB's form at the moment.

          I have Jesus and hoping for early team news. If he does not start he will be out for Kane.

            Mate, KDB is NOT a holding mid. What is this absolute rubbish 😆

    What do you think of Bruno + Greenwood --> Grealish + Jesus for -4pts?

    Current team is:

    Patricio
    Doherty Tarkowski Keane
    Salah KDB Mahrez Bruno Martial
    Greenwood Ings

    Martin Nketiah Kiko Lascelles

        I have the feeling Grealish will destroy West Ham... West ham will still be drunk from celebrating being safe in PL

        1. The Man Pastore
          • 9 Years

          and its Grealish last game with Villa to save them from relegation

  22. SomeoneKnows

    Is Jesus still on your transfer-in plans after his poor display?

    If not, then who would you bring as a forward to replace Vardy if your budget is limited to 9.9 million?

    Hi guys, please rate my FH team for 38+

    People put way too much emphasis on their bench. Mid season I have a decent enough bench when I have cheapies who start, but it’s so rare I ever have to call upon it. Since Corona I have had a bare bones bench, none even play and it’s been fine. The only time it caught me our

      This.

      Although I've had a strong bench since WC because of BB which I intend to cash in this week.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It’s nice to have a bench through the season but at times like this, really don’t need it. Maybe 1 starter will do, a defender ideally.

        1. Camzy

          I think people misunderstand what a strong bench is.

          A strong bench to me is something that doesn't give bench headaches while also being nailed on for minutes and 4.0 defenders who can come in if the fixture is favorable.

      *the only time it caught me out was last week actually when KDB didn’t get any mins so I only had ten, but I still got a decent GW score.
      And that instance for me has been so rare, in the last 4 seasons this has only happened to me like twice I think.
      And these days with 5 subs available you have a very good chance your player comes on anyway.
      Can’t believe some of the benches people have.

      Only need full bench for BB, then so long as you have one or two playing should be good.
      My TV has allowed good bench all year

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years

      I think A.

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

        Yeah I think Jimmy swings it, easily capable of nicking a goal vs. Chelsea's defence - could even get multiple returns if CHelsea go Kamikazee in search of points

        Cheers All

      Why do you want double Wolves defence at Chelsea?

  28. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years

    Benched Foden. Really poor end to the season but still well ahead of my previous best rank. Best transfer to maintain top 10k here.
    Pope
    TAA, Aurier, Stevens
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Martial, Foden
    Vardy, Ings
    Greenwood, Boly, Lascelles

    A) Salah to Sterling
    B) Vardy to Jesus
    C) Martial/Fernandes to Mahrez

        Thanks. Will play Foden, even 30 minds against Norwich he has a chance of return.

  29. StayoutheSpiceZone
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Have Sterling and Foden

    A) Jesus
    B) Kane

    For the final week?

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

      Jesus. I think triple City is mandatory.

  30. Muller Reus Corner
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is it worth taking a hit to get rid of Doherty or should I just stick with him?

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

      Stick

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, he could get an attacking return (hopefully)

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

      not worth a hit imo
