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.

    Auba Ings > kdb jimmy for a hit?

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

      Here's the rest of the team. Good with these transfers or need to WC? Thanks.

      McCarthy
      Taa davies Egan
      Salah Auba Bruno soucek
      Ings dcl mitro

      Nyland Taylor Mitchell bissouma

    2. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Like those moves and definitely doesn’t need a WC

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

        Thanks

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

      I wouldn’t WC that.
      Ings to Jimmy could backfire. Jimmy does look to have the better fixtures and in a much better team but still for a hit not sure

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

        So just get in kdb this gw and wait for another week for jimmy?

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          See below I wouldn’t put you off the move Jimmy is a great pick.
          This week I got DCL instead of him only so I had some cash spare for upgrades and even then it was a hard call not to get Jimmy

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

        Having said all that I wish I had Jimenez in my team.

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

          Will get jimmy for sure, just not convinced if its worth a hit this gw. Cheers bud.

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

    After taking a -4 how does this look? I really don’t want to take another hit. Anything worth another hit?

    Ryan

    TAA Taylor KWP

    Salah Sterling Rodríguez Barnes Podence

    Werner DCL

    Steer Lascelles Mitchell Davis

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. Sahil.....

      I would do ntg to that team for next 2 gw

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

    How is this WC draft looking?

    Guiata . 4.0
    TAA . Taylor . Saiss. Mitchell . Lamptey
    Salah . Sterling . Jamez . Zaha . Alzate
    Werner . Mitro . DCL

    Werner to Jimenez after the WBA game. With 1m to upgrade def as long as there are no other pressing issues.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Love it!

    2. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good captaining Werner against west brom?

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

        That or Salah at home.

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

      No love for jimi?

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

      What do you do when Werner gets 17pts against West Brom?

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

        Feel validated in my decision to include him and reassess the planned transfer.

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

          Ok, and also jimmy gets his 9pts with next 4 looking great.
          That’s pretty much what’s been going on so far this season, so it’s worth thinking about these what ifs.
          I suspect you’d either ignore one of them, or drop the failing wk3 player out of taa, Jrod or zaha to accomodate

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

            Possibly. Im jus more worried about Werners points vs wba than Jim vs wham.

            Ideally mitro would be werner, but i don't have that kind of cash without removing one of the firing mid price mids.

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

              Same dilemma for everyone

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

      Looks good

      No interst in Son?

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

        Not with how Spurs are currently. I feel lucky to have had his points this week. I'm taking them and running for the time being.

  4. Pranav Santhosh
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is there any reason why the fixture times for week 4 onwards aren’t there? And does anyone know when they will be announced?

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

      Fixtures are visible + international break aftr gw 4

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I meant like the kickoff times. For example I can see united play the early kickoff gameweek 3 but gameweek 4 onwards theres no kickoff times allocated

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

    So... Jimmy + 3.1m ITB or Sterling C with a hit for GW4?

    Mart Steer
    TAA Robbo Digne Saiss (Justin)
    Bruno Son(C) James Zaha (Reed)
    DCL Jimmy (Davis)

    FT spent on Auba to (S)on. Felt too obvious

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hoping jimmy doesn’t score tonight as that’ll mean he’s guaranteed a goal gw 3

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

      Lmao

  7. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Added son but now I am not that convinced. Spurs aren’t going to play against high line again and their creativity in the mid is a problem

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

      Newcastle loves to fall apart, so you'll get at least one good game out of him

      Plus... He almost scored/assisted against Everton anyway. That game was a stalemate between two tactical coaches, no matter how public opinion tries to spin it

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

        Hope he does well against Newcastle

      2. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Definitely my favourite 1 nil to the Blues ‘stalemate’ of recent years.

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

          Result wise, Everton clearly won

          Tactically, it went back and forth

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can't see any of Spurs next 4 opponents play the high line like Soton.

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why'd you rush to bring him in then? Soton were dreadful and he won't be scoring like that for a while

  8. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Avl v Shu score predictions?

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

      3-0

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      2:0

      SHU all over the place. Villa coming with a full strength squad and an unbelievable keeper to keep out Sheffield's mostly tame attempts

      Could get flipped on its head and be a high scoring game like the weekend though

    3. jia you

    6. Sahil.....

      cant predict that but surely a lot of saves by martinez...he was class after leno got injured

  9. tc93
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any advice on what to do with this lot for next week?
    Currently thinking Davis/Auba --> Saiss/KDB or Sterling for a -4. I could also Just do auba --> KDB and bring in Saiss next week

    Team:
    McCarthy
    TAA / Davis / Taylor
    Salah / Auba / Havertz / Souczek
    Werner / Mitrovic / Martial

    Button, Michell, Ferguson, Bissouma,

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      WC

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

    Rodriguez or Richarlison?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Both are a trap

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A points trap.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I have them both.
      Probably Rodriguez ahead of Richarlison.
      Think I prefer DCL ahead of Richarlison now but I can’t change. All three doing well.

  11. tc93
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    what is the current opinion of everyone on Soucek? Still a good long term pick?

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

      Im keeping. Pretty attacking, will get some points soon.

      1. tc93
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        has he been having many touches/shots in the box?

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

          YES

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

      View him as a 5.5-6m mid who is going to cost 4.9 soon. Value

    3. Better luck next year
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not a bad pick, fixtures are horrendous though. Would try to strech to Klich.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Soucek is fixture proof, the way he scores goals is not like other players

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Shipped, while he himself isn't a problem West Ham are just one of those clubs I need to learn to stay away from

      • Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think he’s worth holding. A goal will come soon and could as easily be in the tough games as easier ones. Actually think the next 2 look good for him tho, esp Leicester

    5. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      helder costa or harvey barnes? (price not an issue)

      1. Bielsa Murderball
        • 3 Years

        or klich

      2. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years

        Price is always an issue. Pick the one you believe in most. And pay attention to where that 1.5 m diff suddenly can be useful elsewhere.

    6. ashisharora0094

        Similiar to my WC team below. Considering Sterling for KDB as well, will have a look at this today.

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

        Don’t like 5.7 on the bench each week

        No Chelsea with those fixtures could hurt

        1. Better luck next year
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers. Would love Werner for Jimi for at least one GW. Who to downgrade? 0 ITB.

          1. Pep Roulette
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I'd get Podence for Klich. Werner for Jimi. TAA to Robbo? James to Lamptey?

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

        No Werner, and the Brewster pick is either awful or preempt the wk4 we template

        1. Better luck next year
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Brewster will only get the spot if loan agreement confirmed before deadline. Also trying to squeeze Werner in, who to downgrade though?

      3. Bielsa Murderball

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          yes. I think he should be ok for the Westbrom game.

        You’d imagine sterling/kdb/Jesus would play but it is pep! But def a game I’m targeting sterling as captain and part of the reason I’m thinking him over kdb

      3. Bielsa Murderball
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        sure and the midfielders?

    10. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Current WC team. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks guys

      Ryan
      TAA Saiss Taylor
      Salah Son Sterling Podence
      Werner DCL Wood

      Steer Justin Alzate Ferguson

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

        Needs a bit of jimmy

        1. De Gea is GOAT
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He is coming in GW4 😉

    11. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      WC draft looking like this at the moment:

      _____ (Nyland)
      _____ Saiss Justin (Mitchell Dunne)
      Salah KDB Son Hamez (Alzate)
      _____ Mitro DCL

      Who fills in the blanks?

      A) Werner, Digne, Guaita
      B) Jimenez, TAA, Ryan

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

        B

    12. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The long-term 8.0 to 8.5 mids aren't even active yet

      Mahrez, Pulisic, Havertz, Ziyech

      They are coming... And I eagerly await them

      For now (and probably for a long time), James, Zaha, Barnes, Greenwood, DCL, TAA and Robbo are clearly more reliable

    13. tinear
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keep Werner or ship for Jimi?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Keep

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

        Jimenez given the upcoming fixtures Wolves have after City.

      3. tinear
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        These are both exact thought in my mind

      4. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Keep Timo for the WBA game then switch

      85 points behind ML Leader already. Terrible first 2 weeks.Too high a hill to climb Soon.Saving WC as of now.
      I guess being Patient is very important right now as we have seen 2 different types of gameweeks and might need more data come WC.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Wildcard is same as every other thing in fpl, whether it's a good idea can always be caveated with "yes, if you get the right players in"

          If your team is bad, sticking with it because of "patience" doesn't make any sense, McCarthy isn't suddenly gonna become a good goalkeeper for example

          1. Weeb Kakashi
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Agreed . What would you do here

            McCarthy
            TAA Digne Saiss Ayling
            Auba Havertz Alli
            Werner Jimenez DCL

            Tierney Bissouma Reed

            Thinking of Auba Alli> Sterling Mahrez/Barnes(-8)

            Does this justify saving WC. That makes it 85 points behind ML leader.

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                3 years, 6 months ago

                You've got problems McCarthy awful, Leeds look porous defensively havertz looks like he needs months to come good, Alli AWOL Tierney injured

                It's a personal choice whether you want the hit or wildcard. My only advice would be don't hold onto the early wildcard worried about what's coming down the line, the second wildcard is the more useful one

                1. Weeb Kakashi
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Cheers mate. Much appreciated

              • Pep Roulette
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                You've a good team! Ditch Auba & Alli this week! McCarthy is okay for the next 2 games! Also Werner & Havertz can go crazy in the next 2!

                1. Weeb Kakashi
                  • 8 Years

            Waiting is definitely best. Seems completely random game weeks so far. Surely there won't be this many goals every week and teams will tighten up. Defence could be more valuable in a couple of weeks time.

            Very tempting to WC but in a lot of teams I've seen it's just chasing last week's points.

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

              Doesn't matter if you play your wildcard solely based on stats, fixtures and the eye test, and the players in your current team fail on some of these standards or are unfit/out of favour/yet to blend in

              I know from my GW2 wildcard, even though I didn't get Son... Which I don't consider a mistake anyway, because stats and eye test said no

            3 years, 6 months ago

            Try not to focus on ML leader and just play your own game. Long way to go. Can change very quickly

            1. Weeb Kakashi
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Cheers mate.

              True

        • Mortinho
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Do Saint-Maximin to Podence for -4?

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Would give ASM one last game and then do it for free, spurs can't defend

              1. Pukki Blinders
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                there won't be one last game if he's out

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Well yeah, I'm assuming a 10 year vet knows to get rid of an injured player after a presser

              2. Pep Roulette
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                If he's injured, then do it

            • Albrightondknight
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Anything in Castagne’s previous stats for other clubs to suggest that he can keep these attacking returns coming. There are some great options for .5 less but is anyone considering him after the City game?

              27 points this GW and no players left. 27 points! Last season ended at 6.7k OR, now at 3.7 mil OR and will drop even more today.

                Early days with a lot of players getting massive scores. If you've got them you're doing well, if not you're not. I finished like 8k last year and down at 3m. Lateriser doing even worse so far and he knows what he's doing. In time rank gains will come.

                • 6 Years

                Would personally downgrade Werner or Son and strengthen other areas.

                  Can’t have em all.

                  It’s pick 2 of taa, son, Werner.
                  Or it’s pick 1 of them and have 2 more midrange type options like jrod, zaha, Wilson.

                did Adams --> Wood in a drunken haze last night. but actually feels like a reasonable move?

                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  I'm not selling Adams at least for the next 2! He's been looking dangerous!

                  Just done the same move in FanTeam. Best of a bad bunch right now potentially

                Hi all

                Those with McCarthy on WC - who are you bringing in to replace him?

                Was thinking keep for next two then switch to Ryan perhaps?

                1. Pep Roulette
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  If you're on WC, then get a set & forget keeper!

                  • 12 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Never use a transfer on a GK. Get who you want now and stick. Martinez at villa would be my choice but see how they look tonight

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

                  Thanks. Have Villa strengthened much in defence otherwise though?

                  Agree set and forget would be best.

                  It will be one of Pope or Alisson set and forget for me I think...normally go for a 4.5 but don't really fancy any atm.
