Scout Notes

Budget FPL assets shine for Leeds and Fulham but Bielsa highlights lack of creativity

Leeds United 4-3 Fulham

  • Goals: Helder Costa (£5.5m) x2, Mateusz Klich (£5.5m), Patrick Bamford (£5.6m) | Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.0m) x2, Bobby Decordova-Reid (£5.5m)
  • Assists: Bamford x2, Klich | Joe Bryan (£5.0m), Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m), Kenny Tete (£4.5m)
  • Bonus: Mitrovic x3, Bamford x2, Costa x2

Patrick Bamford (£5.6m) rewarded his growing Fantasy following with a double-digit haul in Leeds United’s second seven-goal thriller of the week.

The forward’s goal in Gameweek 1’s 4-3 loss to Liverpool prompted nearly 365,000 managers to buy him in for the Fulham game.

Seasoned Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bosses, and many a Leeds fan, would have considered the move optimistic at best as Bamford has plenty of previous for missing his fair share of chances.

But the striker struck again on Saturday, finishing with aplomb when released by a Mateusz Klich (£5.5m) pass early in the second half of the win over Fulham.

His boss, Marcelo Bielsa, was quick to play down the side’s eye-catching start to the season:

This won’t be a constant all year. It is very difficult to maintain the efficiency we have had in these first two games. The characteristics of our game is to create goalscoring opportunities. In these two games we have created very little, but we have scored all our chances.

He might as well have been talking about Bamford, who has now scored from two of the three chances he has been presented with this season.

That has tempted another raft of managers to back the striker. He’s currently in the top three transfers-in for a Gameweek 3 trip to Sheffield United and a Yorkshire derby that should be, to use a technical term, proper tasty.

Whether his fine form is sustainable is highly debatable.

FPL has indulged plenty of fine early starters who failed to deliver consistently over a season – Norwich’s Teemu Pukki is the most recent example of that, while Manchester United striker Anthony Martial (£9.0m) is another who hit the Premier League ground running before being reduced to a stagger within a few weeks.

As we detailed in pre-season here, Bamford has never been the most clinical of strikers, missing 34 (77.3%) of the big chances he had in the Championship last season.

For now, however, it would be churlish not to bask in his point-scoring glory. He also had two assists against Fulham, earning a penalty when he was pushed in the back by Joe Bryan (£5.0m) and then setting up Helder Costa (£5.5m) on the break to make the scoreline 4-1 with barely ten minutes of the second half played.

Add on two bonus and the forward ended with 14 points on the day –  a total he shared with Costa as the midfielder opened the scoring when he picked up a loose ball from a corner and smashed it in off the bar with five minutes on the clock.

Costa also earned two bonus points and has now hauled in both matches for his 1.6% ownership.

But spare a thought for the 4.6% with Klich in their squads. He also scored in Gameweek 1 and was on the score sheet against the Cottagers when he rolled home the penalty Bamford had earned.

Such was the madness of the match, a goal and an assist were not enough to bring in any extra points for the Poland international. In fact, the maximum bonus award didn’t even go to a Leeds player at all.

That honour was reserved for visiting striker Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.0m), who marked his first start of the season with two goals and 12 points.

The Serbia international was a very popular pick heading into the season and the 20%-owned forward was quick to reward his followers when he blasted in a first-half penalty, awarded when Robin Koch (£4.5m) mistimed a slide tackle on Bryan.

He then headed in from a fine Kenny Tete (£4.5m) cross to make it 4-3 with just over 20 minutes left to play.

Fulham’s other goal was a sweet one, with the impressive Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) playing a beautifully-weighted pass through to Bobby Decordova-Reid (£5.5m), who shot across Leeds keeper Illan Meslier (£4.5m) and into the far corner.

Both Meslier and his Fulham counterpart Alphonse Areola (£4.5m) were, unsurprisingly, busy boys on the day and the pair picked up a save point apiece for their efforts.

Two players who were rather less involved were Leeds playmaker Pablo Hernandez (£6.0m), who suffered a groin strain in the warm-up, and the club’s record signing, Rodrigo (£6.0m), who replaced him in the starting line-up.

The striker was peripheral at best playing as a number ten behind Bamford and he was hooked at half-time, although that was more an indication of his lack of match fitness as Bielsa, who has very high standards in that regard, was quick to point out post-match:

I was under the impression that he lacked a bit of energy to show his qualities. I think that has something to do with the physical effort he used against Hull (in the EFL Cup). That’s why I decided to sub him.

The coach also gave an update on Hernandez:

Pablo had a small knock in the warm-up. We don’t think it’s very serious.

Fulham boss Scott Parker had understandably mixed emotions about an away game in which his team had 55% of the possession and scored three goals, but still lost:

We showed some real quality in possession at times. We showed a real impetus and caused Leeds a lot of problems. On the flip side we gave away easy goals today and left ourselves a mountain to climb.

He also made it clear that he will chop and change his side this season:

The players who did not play today are vital and will play a vital part this year. As I showed last year I will make changes for matches that give us the best chance of winning.

Not that Fulham rotation will be a major concern for most Fantasy managers, with Mitrovic by far and away the most likely to be drafted in for a good schedule from now until late November.

As for Leeds, they currently have the dubious honour of being an even worse defensive unit than Fulham, having conceded seven goals to the Cottagers’ six.

But in Bamford, Costa and Klich, they have three in-form and very nicely priced assets who will surely find their way into many FPL teams over the next few weeks.

The Leeds rush might have to wait, however – after that derby in Sheffield, Bielsa’s men will host Manchester City in Gameweek 4.


Leeds United XI (4-4-2): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; Phillips, Harrison, Klich, Costa; Bamford (Alioski 70), Rodrigo (Roberts 45).

Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; Bryan, Hector, Odoi, Tete; Reed (Lemina 70′), Zambo Anguissa; Kamara (Kebano 58′), Onomah (Decordova-Reid 58′), Cavaleiro; Mitrović.

    Would you make any changes to this wildcard

    Martinez
    TAA Saiss Lampety James
    Salah KDB Son Zaha
    Werner Mitrovic

    Subs - Button Mitchell Prodence Brewster

    1. George Agdgdgwngo

      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not keen on mitro

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        6m, talisman, on pens and good fix...
        What's not to

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          .. like?

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. Mitro to DCL I think. Downgrade Zaha to podence or klich

    3. Captain Hindsight
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Like it but what are your plans should things change and you have no WC?

      1. Captain Hindsight
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        For example Brewster isn’t an easy change

    4. luk46
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      wouldnt want Martinez tbf, Zaha > James?

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        One thing in Mitro's favour are Fulhams's fixtures

      2. James2201
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I dont know what other good 4.5 goalie I could get

    5. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Play podence over Lamptey I guess?

      1. James2201
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Tbh I didnt want to wildcard this early but my team is a bit of a mess. Have tried to make my team a bit different than my rivals in my league. That is main reason I have Zaha in.

        I was thinking I could downgrade mitrovic to Bamford maybe but not sure how long his goals will last. Brewster I mainly got in cause I hear rumours of a loan

  2. The White Pele

    I won't be winning it this year it seems lol

    1. Sloane426
      • 4 Years

      Terrible transfers

    2. Visionaries
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sold Kane before gw1 got him in before gw 2? doesn't make sense.
      gw1 was a wildcard

  5. Captain Hindsight
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed

    With TAA and Jesus in the team already, no over city or kop players, would you rather have:

    A) KDB
    B) Sterling
    C) Salah
    D) Mane

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kdb and salah

      1. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This could be the season Sterling smashes it again.

  6. TheBrazilianRonaldo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Question for all people with McCarthy.

    Southampton has conceded 7 shots in 2 games and 6 goals. Do people think he might get dropped or just the high pressing game isn’t clicking for Saints yet, or they are unlucky?

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saints haven’t been unlucky. Their tactics are dire.

      Will get either Ryan or Martinez

      1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Their shots conceded is lowest in league so far. Does to watch or conceding huge big chances?

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not his fault.

    3. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saints don’t look good, but is it ever worth taking a hit to swap a 4.5m keeper? If you have free transfer is get rid, otherwise it’s not a priority for me

      1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It seems no one can defend this weekend. I was saying that 7
        Shots conceded is lowest. But they look bad. Confusing

    4. The Big Larsbowski
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you want a 4.5 & 4.0, get a safe one. Ryan. Both Martinez and McCarthy face competition now and soon. Or invest 0.5 and get Guaita.

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      To people saying McCarthy isn't at fault... He isn't at -complete- fault.

      He was however atrocious in even attempting to save shots today. Including the disallowed goals, he let in 7 goals from 8 shots.

      Southampton play a high line and McCarthy is not a sweeper-keeper. Gunn would have been much better for this, but he was also awful.

    6. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      High line isn't great news for McCarthy. He doesn't like to come off his line. Gunn was better than this, but he was awful too.

      Having said that, I may out Forster (4.0m) in my Wildcard team just in case... Although I don't think he's better than McCarthy.

  7. Gatsby
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Auba, ASM & Adams --> KDB, Podence, Wood

    for (-4)

    yes or no or other options? 🙂

    1. The White Pele
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yes do it

      1. Gatsby
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

  8. aardvark22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy, Steer
    TAA, Saiss, Justin, Davies, Mitchell
    Auba, Salah,Alli, ASM, Soucek
    Werner, Martial, Brewster
    1FT, 0 bank

    Feels like a few lurking issues. Hovering over the wildcard button.
    Or just Alli, Auba out to Sterling, Jrod/Zaha?

  9. Kloptimus Prime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    When is Nathan Ferguson expected to be back?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ages by the sound of it.

  10. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bamford has had 2 shots and 2 goals. An xG of 0.14.

    SHU, MCI and WOL up next. Sustainable much?

    1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Totally not but let people dream. Rich also has better stats than DCL but the bandwagons already rolling

  11. Thinkering like a Boss
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Why anyone not commenting on me everytime 🙁

    Ryan • Steer
    TAA • Davies • Justin • KWP • Mitchell
    Salah • Auba • Son • ASM • Greenwood
    Werner • Mitrovic • Brewster

    2FT 0.0ITB

    what should I do?

    A) Auba > KdB/Sterling, ASM > H.Costa/Trossard/Podence
    B) just ASM > 5.5m
    C) Davies > Saiss
    D) any recommendation?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wait and see which of ASM/Davies are out/losing their spot.

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years

        Thanks really appreciate it 😉

      1. Thinkering like a Boss

        Thats it my original plan. Thanks 😉

  12. Agger
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Harvey Barnes is definitely being slept on

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He's a busy player. Has all the physical attributes. If he can add finishing and end product, he's going to be a bargain.

      1. Agger
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed. 16 points in 2 games for me, played 90 in both. Plenty of shots in the box. 7.0m Bargain

  13. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is Mitro, DCL & Jiminez to lightweight as a starting strike force?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like the latter 2, just not sure if Mitro compares well to a 6m defender, or takes up a valuable striker spot.

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Good point, but then again I don't like the idea of downgrading to a non playing striker. Hmmm.

    2. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd prefer Werner over Mitro but its hard to find those funds.

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'd rather Ings over Werner. I'm not really getting all this Werner love just yet.

        1. Whiskerz
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Its the WBA game I want him for.

    3. Disco Volante
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      God no that is the bargain trifecta goal scoring machine with fixtures on their side.

  14. Whiskerz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed

    How is this WC draft looking?

    Guiata . 4.0
    TAA . Castagne . Saiss. Mitchell . Lamptey
    Salah . Sterling . Jamez . Zaha . Alzate
    Jimi . Mitro . DCL

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good tbh

  15. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Not a good start. 2m OR. What do do with this mess? 1FT and 1m itb

    Ryan Walton
    TAA Justin KWP Ayling Mitchell
    Salah Auba HotRod Soucek Bissouma
    Martial Werner Adams

    A) Auba and Adams to KdB/Sterling and DCL (-4)
    B) Martial, Adams to Jimenez and DCL (-4)
    C) Both (-8)
    D) WC
    E) Delete team

    1. Dr. Rog

      anything but e will be fine

    2. The White Pele

  16. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any wildcarder here going without Taa?

    Was thinking Vvd +1.0M instead

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      thinking of ignoring all premium defenders and going James Saiss and Justin with 2 more cheapos!

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This could be way to go but want Vvd to soften the blow when Taa eventually hauls

      2. Terry Henry
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I like the braveness. Could be well worth it depending on what midfield and forwards it allows you.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thats what I did since the start.

    3. Terry Henry
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking about it yeah. Current draft is

      Ryan (or Martínez)
      Digne-Saïss-Taylor
      Salah-KDB-Son-Klich
      Werner-DCL-Jiménez

      4.0-Anguissa-Mitchell-Ferguson

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Like it alot. Maybe Philips instead Klich? Not sure about Digne either

    4. Terry Henry
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Think Digne could be a genuine alternative for 1.5 less

    5. Terry Henry
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Will look into Philips. Klich on pens though.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        But Philips takes all set pieces.

        1. Terry Henry
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Interesting. Cheers.

    6. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      short term can go without i reckon.
      by wk6, they have a pretty amazing run and you'll want 1 if not 2 as that continues.

  17. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Auba and ASM:

    A kdb and Klich

  18. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What would be the best way of getting Werner back into this WC draft? Happy with everything I have at the moment, just wish I had extra cash to do Bamford > Werner haha.

    Martinez (Steer)
    Robbo - James - Saiss (Mitchell & Lamptey)
    Salah - KDB - Son - Jrod (Reed)
    Jimmy - DCL - Bamford

    1. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Anything in the bank?

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

        Nope... need to ditch someone

        1. Whiskerz
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Jimi could be werner for 1 game if you can find 1.0 somewhere. You miss wolves vs wham but still hit that juicy wba fixture

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son goes

  19. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Like the looks of

    Martinez/Steer
    Digne Saiss James (Justinho, Mitchell)
    Salah Sterling Sonaldo Soucek (Bissouma)
    Werner Jimmy DCL

    1. Ronaldo 7
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      you've done well to afford that team - GTG.... you must have caught all the price rises!

  20. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son getting 2 bonus points is an absolute farce. The bonus system is so busted they should just cancel it.

    1. Agger
      • 7 Years

      Well the other person did get 5 returns to Son’s 4 so not that much of a farce

        The other person was a) an attacker and b) 4 out of 5 returns were assists. Son is a midfielder who scored 4 goals!

      I feel your pain. I will call FPL and talk to them.

      By the way, I had only Adams and sold Ings to Martial.

    Was close to doing something drastic, but instead made 3 transfers and took the -4 hit. Don't feel great about doing it before the City game having no coverage but can't have them all.

    My GW3 team

    Ryan McCarthy
    Holding Justin Digne KWP Mitchell
    Son Rodriguez Salah Podence Soucek
    Werner Kane Jimenez

    Took out Auba/ASM/Adams for Rodriguez/Podence/Kane.

    1. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That's still quite drastic. I don't like making transfers early though.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That's a massively pricey front line.

  22. Steve The Spud

    4.2m rank

    Anyone worse ?

    1. Agger
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      My girlfriend probably. She captains Ben Davies because he’s Welsh

      Can't even look tbh. Will wait till my lunch break 2moro to get depressed

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2.4m teams.

    4. Danno - Emre Canada

      Rounded up, im with yers

    Auba, ASM, Adams to KdB, Podence, Wood -8?

    1. HippY
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I took the same 3 out for Kane, Podence, Rodriguez. I guess it depends where you're light on big hitters

    2. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Forget the ASM transfer and play a sub

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes good transfers

  24. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son + Martial

    Or

    Kane + James Rod

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son

  25. wulfrunian

    Is Christensen banned for the next game?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes straight red card

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        cheers because he isn't red in fpl.

            • 7 Years

            correct!

  26. FDMS All Starz

    How would you fix this without WC or is it needed?

    (1FT/0itb)
    McCarthy*
    Justin* - Davies* - TAA
    Auba* - ASM* - Salah - Bruno
    Adams* - Wilson* - Werner

    (*) = hard fixture next / out of form

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You can do a - 8 prioritise Davies Auba Adams

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very similar team. I’m tempted to wildcard but still think I can navigate GW3 with a FT or -4.

      Really undecided so might sleep on it and watch tomorrow’s games and think again

    3. real ale madrid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I have similar concerns (see below) i hate to WC early on but the cost of -4 or -8 for for a couple of weeks + points lost on not making transfers now and price changes will take its toll.

  27. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    The first hit:

    A. Havertz to JRod
    B. ASM to Costa or Podence

    0.4itb 0ft
    McCarthy*
    TAA Robbo Justin Ayling
    KDB Salah ASM* Havertz*
    Werner DCL

    Guys, i think i need to hit the WC button with the following concerns. i hate WC so early but think it is needed after a bad start.
    * is my concerns/transfers.
    Please help

    McCarthy Button
    TAA Justin Saliba* KWP Mitchell
    Auba* Salah Greenwood* ASM* Havert
    Davis* Adams* Werner

    I think it would take too many -4's over the next couple of weeks to sought out and by then the red arrows will kill me let alone the price drops/rises.

    WC Y or N

    1. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would. And I'd add mccarthy, Havertz and KWP to the worry list.

  29. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which combo guys?

    A. TAA & Richarlison
    B. VVD & Werner

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can see Werner doing well in the next few

    2. real ale madrid
