Scout Notes

A return to form for Man United’s FPL assets or a papering over cracks?

Newcastle United 1-4 Manchester United

  • Goals: Luke Shaw (£4.9m) own goal | Harry Maguire (£5.4m), Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m), Marcus Rashford (£9.5m)
  • Assists: Juan Mata (£5.9m), Fernandes, Rashford x2
  • Bonus: Fernandes x3 Rashford x2 Karl Darlow (£5.0m) x1

Manchester United began the long climb back to credibility with a deserved, if not entirely convincing, win over Newcastle.

The game was a surprisingly entertaining affair considering visiting manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could have set up his side simply to avoid another 6-1 Spursageddon, while his opposite number, Steve Bruce, has ‘stay in the game and try and nick a goal’ spliced into his footballing DNA.

Even so, most of the goals came late, with the visitors only taking the lead in the 86th minute of a match they dominated in terms of attempts (28 v 7) while never completely negating Newcastle’s own attacking threat.

But the 4-1 victory did involve decent returns for all three of the winning side’s most popular Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets and included more reminders that owning Red Devils defenders is, currently, a foolish enterprise.

Fernandes To The Fore

By far the most-owned FPL star on the pitch was Man United’s Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m), and his 21% ownership walked away with a tidy 11-point haul that could have been so much better.

The midfielder finished off a superb team move to make the score 2-1, finding the net from an acute angle courtesy of a Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) assist.

That made it three goals in as many Gameweeks for Fernandes, but he also missed his first penalty in England (at the 11th attempt) thanks to a save from the brilliant Karl Darlow (£5.0m) and was denied an earlier goal via VAR.

Some of that pain was offset by an assist for Rashford’s last-gasp goal and the maximum bonus award and his 31 points for the season, from just four matches, puts him in the top 10 for FPL midfielders. Of the United players, only Rashford comes close to such a lofty position, which underlines how vital Fernandes is to the side.

Even with Chelsea and Arsenal up next, more FPL managers are slowly coming round to buying him in – he’s currently just inside the top 15 for Gameweek 6 purchases – as he continues to show last year’s explosive entrance into English football was not a fluke.

Rashford Revival

.

Solskjaer made five changes from the side thrashed by Spurs, among them the benching of Paul Pogba (£7.9m) and Daniel James (£6.4m) being handed a rare start.

But the key decision involved who would replace Anthony Martial (£8.8m), suspended for three matches after his dismissal against Tottenham, up front.

One candidate, Mason Greenwood (£7.3m), didn’t even make the squad, an omission the manager explained post-match.

Mason wasn’t fit to play, so we had to leave him out. We hope he will recover quickly.

That meant Rashford, an FPL midfielder this season, stepped up. And he delivered.

A goal, two assists – he also set up Aaron Wan-Bissaka‘s (£5.4m) first-ever senior strike – and two bonus points helped him to a double-digit haul enjoyed by just 5.8% of FPL bosses.

The fact that only two of his team-mates – Fernandes and Wan-Bissaka – are owned by more managers shows just how little Fantasy faith Solskjaer’s side is inspiring.

The team’s defensive frailties are plain to see, but so is their attacking intent – their 57 attempts this season is not far behind the likes of Everton (64) and Chelsea (65), only from four games, not five.

Cracks, Meet Paper

Wan-Bissaka’s surprise goal helped hand his owners a very welcome eight points, while Harry Maguire (£5.4m) ended a trying week or ten with the same haul thanks to his equaliser, from a Juan Mata (£5.9m) corner, in the first half.

Solskjaer made all the right post-match noises about Maguire’s character, while his Wan-Bissaka comments played up the full-back’s attacking threat.

It was a cross! No, he was due his goal. We wanted him higher up the pitch, making runs in behind. It was great for him.

But anyone seriously thinking of buying into United’s defence should think again.

The backline is currently shipping three goals a game on average and even managed to make Newcastle’s toothless attack look threatening.

The Magpies went into the match having had only eight shots on target across their first four games. They had four against Man United and it took a couple of great saves from David de Gea (£5.5m) to deny Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.3m) and then Callum Wilson (£6.5m).

Yes, the goal the visitors did concede – after just two minutes – was unlucky, Luke Shaw (£4.9m) deflecting an Emil Krafth (£4.4m) cross over de Gea and in.

But a side allowing 14 big chances this season – for context, Newcastle have conceded eight from a game more – clearly lacks balance, whatever Solskjaer might have claimed following Saturday’s win.

We have so many games coming up and you pick a team that you think is going to get a result in that game. You look at the opposition and you look at yourself and what is the best balance and I thought we found the right one today.

Darlow Blow

Fernandes and Rashford took most of the plaudits (and bonus), but the true hero on Tyneside was home keeper Darlow, who produced a string of fine saves as well as that penalty stop.

A single bonus award meant he limped off with eight points and a knock picked up following a clash with Rashford.

One clean sheet, a penalty save and 27 other stops this season – no keeper has made more – has taken him to the top of FPL’s scoring chart for goalkeepers.

But boss Bruce is not entirely sure he’ll be back for a Gameweek 6 trip to Wolves.

He’s taken a hell of a blow. We hope that he’s not too bad, but it’s one of those difficult ones to assess straight away. Until we see the scans and how he is, then we won’t really know, but it’s fair to say that he’s very sore.

Martin Dubravka (£4.9m) is possibly out until December with a heel issue, meaning Newcastle could be down to the bare bones in goal, with Mark Gillespie (£4.5m) the next in line for a start.

Not that any Magpies goalkeeper is likely to be the choice of many FPL managers – no team has allowed more shots (86) or attempts on target (36) than Bruce’s men.


Newcastle United XI (4-5-1): Darlow; Krafth, Fernandez, Lascelles, Lewis; Hayden (Schar 49′), Shelvey, Hendrick (Almiron 88′), Saint-Maximin, Joelinton (Fraser 73′); Wilson. 

Manchester United XI (4-3-3): de Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred (Pogba 69′), Mata (Matic 90′); Bruno Fernandes, James (van de Beek 76′), Rashford.

    Hey guys have a very tough decision here, help needed!

    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA Chilwell KWP Taylor Mitchell
    Rodriguez Salah Son ASM Burke
    Werner DCL Jimi

    I want to bring Kane in for Jimi. This leaves me -1mil ITB. Who do I sacrifice? Feel Kane is essential and there’s no easy choice.

    1. Ciarant20
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would take a -4 too

    2. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Got to be TAA

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I would keep Taa for this week vs She. They are awful.

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Werner to Kane maybe?

      1. Ciarant20
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Would still have -0.2ITB

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just do Werner to Kane?

      1. Ciarant20
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Leaves me -0.2... hard to remove him after that performance

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

      Downgrade Chilwell to fund the move

      1. Ciarant20
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’ve looked at this and I’ve just brought him in haha

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

          Do you think Chilwell is "essential" like Kane

  2. N00B

    2. Ciarant20
      • 5 Years

      Got the same problem above! I’d sacrifice TAA or Robbo / Downgrade Ings / Downgrade Barnes

    3. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Reduce exposure to Liverpool defensive assets.

    4. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA to 4.5 or thereabouts. Ings to kane and ASM upgraded with the leftovers later.

      1. Whiskerz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry, Barnes, not ASM

    5. Blue Moon Rising
      • 12 Years

      Easiest one going. Get rid of at least one of TAA and Robbo

      1. Riverside Red
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        3 years, 5 months ago

        Agree...get rid of both

    Looks like Rodgers motivational magic has run out and Leicester are on the slide.

      To be fair they have a few injuries to key players

  6. antis0cial

  7. AnfieldLad
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Looking at TAA + Mitrovic -> Chilwell + Kane (-4). Feels sensible but also feel like I could end up on rough with the smooth.

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looking at similar but losing TAA for a hit still terrifies me.

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Same. More than watching Spurs again without Kane in your team though? I’m not sure...

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah it's tough. I don't have Robertson though, if you do I'd definitely do those moves.

    2. hammersp2000
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      looking at exactly the same moves. was thinking about regullion instead of chilwell as an alternative too

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA out for a hit before Sheff Utd who couldn't score from open play against the worst defence in the league?

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I know it’s crazy but my routes to Kane are limited! Werner -> Kane for free sound better?

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          That's what I'm considering
          Tough one though, agree

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The problem is next match for Liv. TAA may haul.

  8. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best move here to fit in Kane?

    Martinez Steer
    TAA Robbo Castagne Mitchell Johnson
    Salah Sterling Barnes Pereira Anguissa
    Ings DCL Maupay

    2 FT 0.1 ITB

    A. Sterling + Ings > Son + Kane
    B. Sterling + Ings > James + Kane
    C. TAA + Barnes + Ings > Dallas + James + Kane (-4)

    Thanks in advance

    1. HVT

      A

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Like the look of getting in both Son & Kane but not sure if it should be at the cost of Sterling.

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

    Penalty taker for AVL folks?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No one knows
      Could be Barkley

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

        Just realised they haven't got any pens

  10. HVT
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any major difference between Konsa or Targett?

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

      I guess Konsa is more attacking

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I see he scored GW1, fluke or sign of more attacking points?

        1. Bill Haverchuck
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Almost scored a header today

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

      Targett may have assists, Konsa may score headers

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        If you had to?

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

          Konsa but I already have Martinez and will not double up with this CS rarity

          1. HVT
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Think Villa worth a 4th or 5th def slot with Martinez.
            @ 4.5 they are good value and nailed.

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

              Fair enough but I will not use my FT at this point for that

              1. HVT
                • 13 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Neither will I but planning ahead as I have Reece.

    3. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Konsa decent goal threat from set pieces while Targett will get you the odd assist.

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ok, I’d spend the 0.1 on Konsa if I thought he was worth it

    4. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Targett took a direct FK today, albeit badly

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Matthew ‘off-target’ so!

  11. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Adams or Wilson our for Kane?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Che

    2. Ciarant20
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      100% Wilson

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thats bad advice

        Adams has no chance of being a set and forget option.

        Wilson is still a candidate for the best 11 player like Ings/Jimi/ Vardy this time last year

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          100% agree!

          1. Ciarant20
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Okay Wilson has more points but Adams has had over treble Wilson’s big chances plus provides assists to Ings. He blanked first few GWs and was really unlucky, but has started to pick it up points now. I don’t fancy New to score in the next two and Southampton have an attacking manager.

            The only thing that favours Wilson is penalties for me.

  12. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts??

    This week= Wood and VVD ➡️ Cahill (4.5) and Kun -4.
    Following week Maupay ➡️ .

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years

    So Grealish or dare I say it Barkley then?

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

      Hey exact same question here ... just about to check the stats now

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

      No, great defensive numbers since post lockdown

    4. Party time
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes

      • Bill Haverchuck
        • 11 Years

        Much better side than last season. Should finish around mid-table

    5. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      How’s this look?

      No City or United !

      Robbo, Saiss, Chilwell,
      Grealish, Salah, Podence, Zaha, Son C
      DCL, Kane

            Tricky. I don’t really like hits for defenders but it’s likely you’ll always have a more pressing transfer to make. So maybe B then

              Yeah. Trying to move out Davies since Reguilon joined but always a more pressing transfer to make.

              Curently on C. 😀 Mitrovic has to go either.

        Kane!

      2. Blue Moon Rising

        I am getting both because of swap with KDB, otherwise Kane!

    8. McSauce

      Werner or Jimenez —> Kane?

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Jimenez

        1. HVT

          3 years, 5 months ago

          Wonder will you say that tomorrow night!!!

      My first wc draft. Suggestions welcome

      .3 itb

      Martinez - forster
      Robbo digne coady Taylor lamptey
      Salah JRod pulisic Barkley 4.5
      Brewster Aguero kane

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Looks good.

      2. FPL_trail_runner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Get DCL up front

        Aguero is a hard one to tell so far

        Id nearly go with Werner over him, also an argument not to have so much in defence

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I am sold on Aguero.

          Digne to konsa allows me to do 4.5 in mid to trossard .

      3. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Got to have double spurs attack. Not sure about Coady & Taylor. Need DCL. Better options than Aguero imo

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Next two fixtures for coady are good. Will see how Wolves perform defensively. If they struggle, well I won't mind replacing him

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

        DCL instead of Aguero (too early) and bring in Son

      Who to sacrifice to fund Barnes >> Son?

      A) TAA >> 5.5
      B) Jimi >> 6.5 (Who?)

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

        B Antonio

        1. Riverside Red
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          He's injured?

    11. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      To be honest, Spurs looked like different team in 2nd half...

      1. Party time
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, they couldn’t guide against complacency

      2. FPL_trail_runner

        Feel free to attempt this :

        Each season there is a dead set and forget team that will come close to winning the game without any transfers, last years template team without any changes would have been world number 1 in the game until lockdown , its still a pinned tweet on twitter if you google it from March last season (Pope Lund, Robbo Taa Doher Salah Kdb Mane Jimi Ings Vardy) , then Bruno/Martial came to spoil and changes things a bit through lockdown

        Anyway here are the candidates so far. Its looking alot different than people initially thought pre season and its pushing me to be reactive and take some hits to move more towards it, the X implies we dont really know yet, the * implies it may be too early and a player who wont last*

        Martinez
        Robertson Digne* Konsa* X X
        Salah Son Hamez X
        Dcl Kane X

        Defence looks the hardest to predict.

        Many candidates on the outside similar to Maddison Martial Pukki Abraham this time last year who could eventually end in the team or not
        eg. Wilson , Grealish , etc

        My bet now is Werner will eventually be the longterm value option in the 3rd striker slot. He has done very poor so far, yet despite this is one double figure game from being right next to Maupay and Wilson

        Whether Man city offer any real value due to prices this year and lower attacking numbers will be a debate.

        Anyone who is doing pretty well has most to this core.

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

          no one knows about that template team thats why we keep changing it

          1. FPL_trail_runner
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            You maybe misunderstood me , yes we dont know, my point is it exists and will be known in future

            Its making a best possible prediction of it based on current data. I do this each week

        2. Riverside Red
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          The way things are at the moment, go for a low value defense to fund medium/premium midfielders (and Kane)

        3. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Interesting, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the potential set and forget to be Robbo and TAA with less spent in the 3rd forward/4th and 5th mid brackets, even with VVD out for the season

      3. Dexters Laboratory
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Replace RJames
        1) Robbo
        2) Bellerin
        3) Regu
        4) Digne

        1. Coys96
          • 6 Years

          Not bad, getting into good positions, had a decent chance.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Mings worth the extra over Konza/Targett?

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

          No

        2. Uncle John from Jamaica

          Not for my mind

      6. skodaole2

        Would you change any of those for a hit? 0.6 itb

        Martinez
        Targett Rob Dier (Castagne first sub)
        Son Salah Pereira James R.
        Kane Mitrovic Jimenez

        a) Mitro -> Watkins (-4)
        b) Jimenez -> Watkins (-4)
        c) Castagne -> Digne (-4) and play him instead of Dier
        d) any other hit
        e) no hits, gtg

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

          E

        2. Coys96
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          No

        3. FPL_trail_runner
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Id play Castagne

          Arsenal are poor creatively and he is always worth a gamble attacking wise

          Id sell Per longterm, maybe not this week and Mitro aswell, but again maybe not this week

      7. Tommo1888
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Is Kane an anomaly? He’s top for Shots and BCC and CC , is it not usually goals OR assists , Kane is top of the pile for both in forwards

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          He plays in a deep role like an attacking mid sometimes but he is simply Kane and he is doing Kane things so yes he is special!

        2. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          His intelligence in positioning and went to run/move is incredible.
          He’s developing parts of his game I never thought I would see

      8. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Chaps. Need a £5m defender or less (Got Justin)? Thinking Bellerin or Targett given Villa's run?

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

          Villa def Konsa/ Targett or Dallas

        Which option below would you go with?

        A: Davis > DCL
        B: Davies > Reguillon
        C: Davies > Chilwell
