Scout Notes

What now for Wolves assets after Soucek and Bowen deliver for West Ham?

West Ham 4-0 Wolves

  • Goals: Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m) x2, Sebastien Haller (£6.3m)
  • Own goals: Raúl Jiménez (£8.6m)
  • Assists: Pablo Fornals (£6.4m) x2, Tomas Soucek (£5.0m), Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m)
  • Bonus points: Masuaku x3 Bowen x2 Aaron Cresswell (£4.9m) x1

Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m) grabbed two goals as David Moyes’ first game as a work-from-home manager went spectacularly well.

The self-isolating West Ham boss watched from afar, while occasionally ringing assistant Stuart Pearce sat in the stands, as his side outplayed a set of Wolves stars who came with most of the Fantasy ownership and left with hardly any points at all.

Phoning in a performance has never been so effective – the Hammers had just 37% of possession, but did so much more with the ball – but from a Fantasy Premier League perspective, it was a disastrous night for the majority of managers.

The five most-owned FPL assets on display all played for Wolves. They scored two points. In total.

A sixth popular player, the 6.2%-owned Daniel Podence (£5.6m), didn’t even make the squad as he failed to shake off a shoulder injury picked up in the Gameweek 2 loss to Manchester City, as coach Nuno Espirito Santo explained pre-match – but not in Friday’s press conference!

“He was not able to recover. He had a knock against City, fell down on the ground. Hopefully it’s not serious.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

That game finished 1-3, but few would have predicted the Wolves backline conceding even more goals to a West Ham outfit with just one to their name across their first two fixtures. Not to mention how solid their defence has been for most of 2020.

That the Hammers did so was down to a superb performance from a well-balanced home team set up in the same formation (3-4-2-1) as the visitors, with lone striker Michail Antonio (£6.4m) putting in a heroic shift which went unrewarded in Fantasy terms.

The 6.2%-owned forward consistently tormented Wolves’ back three, either holding the ball up, beating his marker or drawing a foul, which allowed midfielders Bowen and Tomas Soucek (£5.0m) to run beyond him at pace.

This was certainly the template for the first goal which, based on events at other grounds over the weekend, could probably have done with a bit of VAR.

Antonio was upended by Willy Boly (£5.5m) and what looked like a brilliant advantage played by the referee, Martin Atkinson, allowed Pablo Fornals (£6.4m) to hit a through ball to Bowen, who curled a shot home from the edge of the area.

It turned out that a free-kick had been awarded and Fornals had merely taken it very quickly. Questions were raised: was the free-kick taken from the spot of the foul and was the ball still moving anyway? The answers were ‘not especially’ and ‘yes’, but VAR stayed in its box, the goal stood and West Ham never looked back.

Soucek caught the eye throughout with his brilliantly-timed runs from deep, and the opening goal inspired the budget midfielder to test Wolves keeper Rui Patrício (£5.5m) with a first-time shot from Arthur Masuaku‘s (£4.5m) cross and then a header following dogged work by Antonio.

The striker also forced a save from Patrício, with Fornals blasting the rebound over the bar from just eight yards out.

Such profligacy might have been punished on another day, yet home stopper Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m) was never really stretched, with Raúl Jiménez (£8.6m) subdued and the team as a whole producing no truly clear-cut chances. A truly rare thing for this Wolves team.

Even so, it was only 1-0 at half-time, but even a muscle injury to Ryan Fredericks (£4.5m) just after the break failed to unsettle the Hammers, although Fantasy managers will be keeping a close eye on the right-back’s fitness situation moving forward.

“Ryan (Fredericks) felt discomfort in his left hamstring while supporting an attack during Sunday’s win and was unable to carry on. He underwent a preliminary examination on Sunday evening before undergoing a scan at hospital on Monday afternoon. The results of that scan confirmed our initial prognosis and he has already begun a programme of rehabilitation. Should everything go to plan, we hope Ryan will be available for selection again after the October international break.” – Richard Collinge, Head of Medical, West Ham

That’s because he was replaced by budget defender Ben Johnson (£4.0m) who, together with fellow wing-back Masuaku, continued to blunt the threat of Adama Traoré (£6.5m), Pedro Neto (£5.5m) and debutant Nelson Semedo (£5.5m) on the flanks, with the trio showing flashes of brilliance without any real cutting edge.

The same could not be said at the other end.

Having scored just once from four great chances in the first half, West Ham buried their opportunities after the break.

Fornals was again the provider for the second goal, after 57 minutes, when his low shot hit the post and Bowen was there to knock in the rebound.

The 15.8%-owned Traoré was hooked not long afterwards, although his two-point haul turned out to be the best of a very bad pack of Wolves scores.

The highly-rated young striker, Fabio Silva (£5.5m), took his place and five minutes later, it was 3-0, with the goal causing more fantasy anguish than joy.

At first glance, it was all very straightforward as Aaron Cresswell‘s (£4.9m) near-post corner was headed home by Soucek, with a deflection off Jimenez.

A few glances later, the strike was deemed to be a Jiménez own goal, downgrading Soucek’s involvement to an assist and handing a big fat zero points to the Mexican striker’s 23.7% ownership.

And just in case anyone was hoping their Wolves defenders might limp off with one measly point from their Sunday night of woe, a goal for substitute Sebastien Haller (£6.3m), who headed home a fine Masuaku cross in time added on, proved to be a manky bit of icing on a wholly unpalatable cake.

Nuno was clear in his post-match analysis, with three ‘bads’ and a ‘didn’t play good’ in just four sentences.

“We played very, very bad. We made mistakes, we didn’t play good and West Ham were better than us. Since the beginning, we were defensively very bad. We were not able to break them and in the second half, very bad.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

West Ham assistant manager Alan Irvine was, understandably, rather more upbeat.

“We were thrilled with the performance and delighted with the result and we’ll probably look back and think maybe we could have got more.” – Alan Irvine

He also handed out some praise to Bowen.

“He’s great to work with on a day-to-day basis and he works on his finishing every day, and I mean every day, and we feel as if he has got a very good future here.” – Alan Irvine

The future for West Ham, at least in the short term, is not so good, however – they’re about to embark on a four-match run involving Leicester, Spurs and Liverpool away and Manchester City at home.

That will surely force most managers to steer clear of their assets for now, despite Sunday’s excellent performance, with their fixtures easing in early November and looking really attractive from Gameweek 12.

As for Wolves, their immediate schedule (FUL, lee, NEW, CRY) offers plenty of chances for redemption, and FPL bosses seem to agree as Jiménez is currently among the most popular players for Gameweek 4 transfers-in, with far fewer getting rid of him or his team-mates.

West Ham United XI (3-4-2-1): Fabianski; Balbuena, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Fredericks (Johnson 49′), Masuaku, Rice, Soucek; Bowen (Noble 88′), Fornals; Antonio (Haller 88′).

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-2-1): Patricio; Boly, Coady, Saïss; Semedo (Hoever 73′), Moutinho (Vitinha 73′), Neves, Vinagre; Traore (F Silva 62′), Neto; Jiménez.

    Took a hit (Son and Werner out Jimmy and Bruno in).

    Here's my team:

    Mc Carthy
    TAA Justin Vinagre (Mitchell Taylor)
    Salah Bruno Sterling Hames Soucek
    Jimmy Mitro (Brewster)

    Rip it apart lads

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

      Really nice team

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks fine but I'd prefer to see a 3-4-3 and no Brewster

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

        Brewster to DCL would be great, but cant afford it

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Downgrade Sterling

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just did the same hit myself. Team looks ready for a haul.

    4. Team17
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hames to Podence, Brewster to Maupay?

      Or Hames to 4.5 and Brewster to DCL. Soucek is a fine 4th mid

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

    On WC

    Martinez
    TAA, Castagne, Lamptey
    Salah, Barnes, KDB, Trossard
    Ings, DCL, Jimenez

    Steer, Soucek, Mitchell, Dunne

    0.2 Balance
    Any Suggestions ??

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

      This week template:)

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

      Same WC draft for me.
      Only change is

      Castagne Barnes >> Robbo Klich

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Arise, Sir Tab

    4. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No way I’d be playing wc and it getting vardy

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not getting vardy

      2. shaunyjames
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Vardy DCL and Ings my WC frontline

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

      Barnes and Trossard... not too sure

    6. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Spot on. I'd probably switch Soucek to a 4.5m, I'm a minimalist re the bench.

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

    WC team scored 33 points, non WC team would have scored 39 but much happier with my team going forward:

    Martinez
    TAA James Saiss
    KDB Foden Salah Podence
    Jimi Ings DCL

    What ya'll think?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Solid

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

      Woild not have both Foden and Podence.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks optimal but imagine the Foden Podence slots may move about.

    4. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very good team. James to Castagne isn’t possible right ?

    5. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Happy to hear it, Sir FarmerFat. Tough battle this week but glad to see you made it home, many sub-20pt scorers didnt

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

      World class (same as mine)

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

    Thoughts?

    Martinez

    Robbo, James, Semedo (Lamptey)
    Salah, KDB, Rodriguez, Foden, Podence
    Jimmy, Timo (Brewester)

    Debating many moves, perhaps Timo -> Ings, Werner -> Vardy and Rodriguez -> Barnes for a -4, or just bank it for increased flexibility later.

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

      I like Timo > Ings

    2. Bank$y
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Called Werner by two different names there. Vardy would be the best switch.

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No more tinkering, looks fine

    4. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      the exact same Mid, with Robbo, James and Jimmy, hope this does Well

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

        hope so too

  5. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best so replacement?

    A) podence if fit (don’t have Jimenez)
    B) Barnes
    C) zaha
    D) greenwood

    All allow Werner to vardy the week after

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

      Zaha

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Guys?

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B or C

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

      A if fit, then C

  6. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

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

      Just seen this post on the players to get double digit hauls. I think this has made my mind up on Jimenez (c)

      https://twitter.com/goweramg/status/1310704416165711873?s=09

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

        Oops, difficult to pick one, probably Egan since he is a threat at set pieces

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

      Davies

  8. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    feel like rage wildcarding after a terribly unlucky week. Made 2 transfers for a -4 (Martial >Jimenez and Son>Mahrez) already. Gone City heavy but is this squad worth wildcarding?

    Mccarthy Steer
    Justin Doherty TAA Mitchell Shaw
    Salah KDB Mahrez Foden Pereira
    Jimenez Mitro Davis

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Rage trading enough. Have some cammomile tea and contemplate next week's possible transfer

  9. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    On WC

    A. Vardy + Maupay
    B. Richarlison + Jimenez

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

      Tough one, probably A

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B easy

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    4. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

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

    Just seen this on the players to get double digit hauls against Fulham. I think this has made my mind up on Jimenez (c)

    https://twitter.com/goweramg/status/1310704416165711873?s=09

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Summarise it please

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He's an unreliable captain

        1. NULL-X-VOID
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          correct if I'm wrong, but wasn't Jimi one of the most consistently delivering FPL assets last season?

      • Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Can’t decide between him and KDB. Both expecting to bounce back but KDB has the higher ceiling

      • redsallstars
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        decent shout. be wolves or city attacker for captain. expect plenty of goals leeds city game

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

      If you have to resign from one out those three who it would be:
      A)Jimmy;
      B)DCL
      C)Ings
      I'm on wildcard and trying to fit Barnes and Saiss in.
      Current draft
      Martinez
      TAA, Castagne, Lamptey
      Salah,Zaha, KDB, Trossard
      Ings, DCL, Jimenez
      Steer/Justin/Mitchell/Burke

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

        DCL - other two on pens and swings it for me

      2. Bank$y
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wouldn’t drop Jimmy

      3. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Keep the frontline and downgrade Saiss

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who is capping Vardy vs West Ham???

      Bloodbath incoming...

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

        I don't think so. WHU will sit deep and wait for counterattacks. They will play like Leicester against MCI:) And first and foremost WHU does not have Walker:)

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

      Son to:
      a) Mahrez
      b) + Mitro to Foden + Jimmy -4

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        My doubt

    6. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Any concerns over Harvey Barnes as an fpl pick with no involvement in any of Lei 5 goals?

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He looked good, surprised he didn't get returns.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He's played pretty well in general so far, he's a little bit wild with his finishing sometimes but I thin he's still creating a lot of good chances. If he finds his shooting boots he'll be an excellent option but it's hard to know when that'll happen. He had a good run at one point last season and Leicester's fixtures are picking up now so could be a good option.

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

        He and Castagne look the best out of all Leicester players. Remember that week ago Vardy was not involved in any goals they scored against Burnley.

    7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Have this for GW4. Looks good on paper considering the teams they are playing against. But who knows?

      Martinez
      VVD James Vinagre
      Salah KDB Sterling Foden Podence
      Ings DCL

      Steer Lamptey Mitchell Brewster

    8. hnmfm
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who here believes Sterling will outscore KDB next gameweek and why?

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure if he will as surely Man City will get one pen?
        I have both Sterling and KDB so I hope you are right!

    9. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone capping Jimmy against Fulham?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Prefer Ings vs WBA

        1. NULL-X-VOID
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          any specific reason?

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            CF playing WBA has returned 13, 17 and 7 this season so far.

            More shots conceded than Fulham so far.

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

        im considering it. think there be goals though leeds man city, game

    10. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This article should be one word and say ‘Fulham’

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        True, but the gap would quickly be filled with some guff about gambling

    11. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son and Werner to Jimi and Rashford?

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think Rashers is a bit pricey without penalties.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Any chance he shares them with Bruno?

          1. NULL-X-VOID
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I don't think Bruno is giving any pens to someone else

      2. hnmfm
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Son to Rashford maybe, I’d stick with Werner he’ll start firing.

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

          More than Jimenez? Also if he keeps playing outwide?

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

        jimi for sure next 4 gameweeks. not keen on werner until he plays up front instead of abraham and till ziyech and pulisic are back

        Very early to be taking hits when there's midweek games, temperature has dropped and it's a congested period. I'm a fiend for the value too tbh

        Foden looked so bad against Leicester but us wildcarders have no choice but to hold, hope he can bounce back!

            KDB is you don't have him, and Salah

            Hamez, Zaha, Barnes are all great options

            And then there Foden Podence

            Priority should be Salah KDB

        5. NULL-X-VOID
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          just a note, Salah looked like the perfect FPL asset yesterday, hungry for goals.

          TAA-Robbo-Salah have the most cemented positions in my team, but still in FPL everyone is expendable.

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I thought he was pretty poor tbh, as someone looking for goals he certainly tried but I think Mané (even ignoring his goal) looked a far bigger threat and used the ball a lot better.

            1. NULL-X-VOID
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Ig, I've never liked Mane as an asset at 12 mil, for ball distribution and handling in the final third he's great, I just don't like his output when it come to goals, this is my opinion that I've formed over watching both of them last season.

              1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                That's fair and I'd probably agree tbh, especially at the same price point as Salah, Mané sometimes has a habit of hauling big in one game and then going quiet for a couple as well. I've gone with neither personally so far and just with Robbo which I've been happy with but know I'll likely have to try fit one in eventually.

            2. The Man Pastore
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              agree for yesterday's game

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

              Mane, from pure football perspective, is much better player. His workrate is unbeliveable. Very unlucky yesterday. But he is not on pens, and this is the problem with him.

        6. Viper
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Which one would you bench from Mitrovic (wol), KWP (WBA) or Justin (WHM)?

          1. NULL-X-VOID
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            KWP, WBA look very attacking

            Mitro all day and sell when you can.

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

            Justin he is bad defender and WHU does not look very bed (exempt Newcastle game).

        7. FPL_trail_runner
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Gameweek 4 doesnt have a normal standout captain.

          Will have 2 FT and may even take a captain punt on Harry Kane. Spurs have 4 nice fixtures from Weeks 4-7 where losing a City midfielder isnt the worst idea.

          Spurs surprisingly creative. Need another week to see if its real.

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

            GW5* should have written.

          2. NULL-X-VOID
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Son absence is going to affect them a lot.

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

              GW 5 is October 17. 3 weeks away.

              He may be back.

              Otherwise Kane has nice xG data and on pens. In a week with few captain options i may punt.

              1. NULL-X-VOID
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Kane without Alli/Son, is not as attractive to me as other strikers.

            2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah I have to agree with this, the likes of Bergwijn and Moura are still good options but even in the loss to Everton where Spurs weren't great Son was the only one that looked like creating anything (and nearly did). I'd be tempted by Bergwijn if I knew he'd be taking Son's place but I think I'll just hold off on Spurs assets until Son is back.

          Mitrovic > DCL for a hit (exact cash) or too late to jump on DCL train?

            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            sadly too late, same for me. I've never liked him, but as an FPL asset he was gold in these week due to Hamez, now he's template, if you still want him he's a great bargain, but won't shoot you up a lot in OR if he returns.
