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.

      I'm not sure about 4 at the back with so many value attackers.. otherwise looks good

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nice 442 WC team. I'd downgrade Digne or Chilwell and turn Bissy into Soucek though

  2. JasonG123

    Which combo on WC?
    (A) Watkins and Bissouma

    I have 3.3 itb, so if I drop Sterling, Mitrovic, and Jimenez, I have Exact Change to get Son, Kane, and Werner (-8).

    But I have to act before any price changes, which risks UCL/Europa injuries - worth it?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Do you need all 3?

      1. WALOR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Could do just Son, Kane, but then Mitro is stinking up my team

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Get Son, Kane and give Mitro one last chance I guess

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

          Same problem here. What a mess Mitro

    2. NABIL - FPL otai

      nope

    3. FantasyHero

    Early thoughts on this lot?

    Martínez (Forster)
    Alexander-Arnold, Chilwell, Saïss (Lamptey) (Mitchell)
    Grealish, Salah, Podence, Son (Burke)
    Watkins, Jiménez, Calvert-Lewin

    1 FT, 5.5 in bank.

    Won't be doing anything til Friday after last GW hurt.

    Cheers

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Easy save

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      good to save FT. Nice team. Unless Podence annoys you tonight, of course

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No need for Kane? Forwards all have good fixture coming up.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Unless you can turn Ollie into him, but not sure how

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Would have 10m but then I bench Watkins?

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Watkins is still a hold imo, very decent option, good support around him and wonderful differential.

              No Kane in that form is big issue though. Tough call.

              I'd do the switch though

        2. All about the galacticos
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure if the funds allow this, but how about this for the next 2?
          gw6) jimi to kane(C)
          gw7) TAA + Watkins to Chillwell + Werner(C) (-4)

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Already have Chilwell.

            1. All about the galacticos
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              then a defender with left over funds, regulon or semedo

          2. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            7.4 for def atm.

            1. All about the galacticos
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              i'd still go with regulon or semedo, just to have the 2m funds free.
              may want to upgrade podence,

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

      Not quite convince with watkins. podence might be rotated, so i will go for someone who nailed his spot and deliver - JRod

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Only got Watkins this GW but yeah, Podence is hopefully on it tonight.

        1. All about the galacticos
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I think watkins will do well against a high leeds press, just as they did against pool

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Interesting, cheers.

    4. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Jimenez to Kane imo but after Friday yeah

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Would need another fail. Newcastle next is nice.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          True if he looks good then would make sense to keep for that fixture.

    5. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers all.

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

      Watkins + 5.5 = Kane

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, if Leeds are decent and Burnley are terrible.

        1. WALOR
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Leeds will be in 3rd place going into GW6

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I'll be selling Jim and Watkins then.

    7. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Think you should get Kane for Jimmy/Watkins or Hamez for Podence, but obviously see how Wolves go tonight.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Not sure how Spurs will do after the midweek game as they start to tire.

  6. subhojit123
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Given spurs current form...and already owning Son, shud I go for a double up with Kane? Based on upcoming fixtures which combo do u guys suggest -
    1. Ings, Jiminez -> Kane, Bayshuayi
    2. Stick with Ings, Jiminez

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes but not Michy. CPL don't score many

      1. subhojit123
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks...I wud b left with 6.5
        Whom do u suggest?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Ollie W

            Thanks buddy

  7. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ings to DCL should not be a priority transfer right? I would have made the switch on WC but I just don't think it's worth using an FT on right now..

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      What score do you expect that game?

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I would say something like 3-1 Everton but I can see Ings being on the scoresheet

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          DCL would be too with no Richo.
          Villa or Newcastle GW7 looks an easy swap?

          1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            True, yeah I think that looks good, have to make that switch at some point anyway or DCL will keep going up in price and away from me. Cheers!

      Who is the 5th mid? Maybe upgrade him as you'll probably hide Brewster.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years

        Soucek

            • 11 Years

    4. white lightning
      • 10 Years

      Should i do it? Other thoughts?
      (Missed asking question in OP)

      very good moves

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, Bamford can also work

  12. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lookman, Cresswell and Coufal looked good.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Might get Ceswell in GW8

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

        Yeah, will get him if WC gets activated

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Targett with a decent heatmap

    Which of these look best? Fancying number 3 I think right now.
    1. KDB/ Jimenez -> Grealish/Kane (leaving 2.1m ITB).
    2. TAA/ Podence/KDB -> Semedo (5.5m)/Grealish/Mane (-4).
    3. TAA/KDB/Jimenez -> Konsa (4.9m)/ Mane/ Kane. (-4).

    McCarthy.
    TAA, Robbo, Mitchell.
    Salah, Son, KDB, Podence.
    DCL, Jimenez, Che.
    Button, Ayling, Justin, Bissouma.
    2ft, 0.0m ITB.

    2. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA and Robbo outstanding chance of clean sheet next week as H to Sheff U. So no need for -4 to Kosa this week

  14. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Allison due back this week? Not sure to go double Liv D or not..

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

      No VVD... don't do it.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai

        Thats what I thought

    Early thoughts on this team:

    McCarthy
    Castagne, Saiss, TAA
    Salah (c), Mahrez, Grealish, Son
    Kane, DCL, Adams

    Subs: Steer, Mitchell, Bissouma, Ferguson

    0.3 itb, 1 FT

    (1) McCarthy to Martinez
    (2) Mahrez to Hamez
    (3) Both for -4

    Mahrez is playing on the right and might keep his place but not expecting FPL returns with others doing the job, while Hamez is middle of most attacks. Esp with Richy is out he will go up more?

    Want Martinez. Clean sheets and saves. Has good fixtures, too

    Please help. Che Adams stays for now, maybe till I WC.
    Thanks.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Mahrez to Pulisic.

  16. Flair

    Can't see past Salah or Mane for the captaincy this week. Liverpool will put 4+ past this dire Sheffield United side, imo. See no reason why most people should (C) anyone else.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah (c) all day.

      1 week when we do not to overthink about it

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      would be tempted by Sterling if I owned.

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

        Own him and not tempted at all. City attack has yet to return it their best and West Ham aren't terrible. However, if they look better midweek that could change things.

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’m tempted to keep the armband on Kane tbh

    4. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah defo. Kane/ Son will not explode this week.

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

        Burnley have conceded the lowest xGA in the league so it seems their defense is better than it has looked so far.

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

          *With 3 matches played, didn't notice that part. xGA of 3.65 and 8 goals conceded

      Thats my team lol. Except the 2 4.5 defenders.

  18. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    KWP and Pulisic
    To
    Reguilon and Zaha?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Na, keep Pulisic

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Essentially I'm conceding I should have gone Reg and Zaha on my WC

        Pulisic pissed me off but I feel like he should be kept too yea

        No other way to get Reguilon who I really want. He looked marvelous and I have Kane and Son.

        Losing Hames the only other possible choice tbh

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

          Don't loose Rodriguez, he's likely to be playing more advanced without Rich.

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I don't want to!

            Do without Reg for now I guess

      Don’t like it, why remove Puli already it’s been 1 week

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I did KDB > Stirling this morning.

      1. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        actually considering KDB > Mane too... Still not convinced with City right now.

  20. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I’m yet to be killed in rank with no Spurs... what to do with this?

    Mccarthy Steer
    TAA Justin Taylor Ayling Lewis
    Salah Sterling Barnes Soucek Bissouma
    Werner Jimi DCL

    0.9 itb, 2FTs

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

      TAA -> Reguilon/Chillwell, Jimi -> Kane/Aguero

      How much faith do you have in Soucek?

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’ve tried that but and don’t mind it but really want Barnes gone tbh, given his fixtures and Leicester’s form

        Plenty of faith in Soucek, still see him as incredible value at 4.9... I could get rid now and bring back on WC though

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

          Could upgrade Barnes to Son instead of the latter option I gave

  21. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Barkley wasnt really involves yesterday. Was he? His long shots are quite better than his general play although which does benefit you in Fpl

  22. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Did Zaha to Grealish and Reguilon to Aurier. Gave strong thoughts about Martinez but went with Ryan. That alone cost me 17 points. I'm on 72 with Semedo left but with that moves it could have been a great jump. Such a shame.

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      On Saturday morning*

  23. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Should I go Martinez to Ryan for a hit? I know Ryan got WBA next but if Martinez jumps in price I won't be able to afford it.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hell no

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ryan to Martinez*

    2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry Ryan to Martinez

  24. SpagBol
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which option on WC and why?

    A) Robbo and Brewster (play 4-4-2)
    OR
    B) Van Aanholt and Watkins (play 3-4-3)

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Easy B

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

      B for sure (if expecting PVA to start next game).

  25. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    McCarthy 4.0
    TAA Saiss Dier Justin 4.0
    Salah Son Havertz Soucek 4.5
    Kane Jimenez Wilson

    1. Wildcard
    2. Hold out until Manchester clubs start becoming the new template

  26. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any ideas how much longer Ferguson is out for?

  27. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Watkins or Maupay on WC? The idea is that they’re an Antonio placeholder for 2 weeks time, but I could also consider keeping them if they’re performing.

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

      I'm going Watkins

      1. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah leaning that way - his fixtures are better, both for the next two and long-term.

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Get Antonio right away?

  28. Trentino
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ings DCL Jimmy to

    Antonio DCL Kane

    For -8?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Think DCL > DCL cancels a transfer out right lol.

  29. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Barnes to Bruno or Son for a hit?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Son 🙂

  30. De Gea is GOAT

    I have exact cash to do Jimi > Kane for -4. Worth it guys?

    Ryan
    Digne Robbo Mitchell
    Puli Son Salah Barnes
    DCL Wood Jimi

    1. aleksios

    3. jia you
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Considering the same but not doing anything til Friday... too many midweek games.

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers guys. Surely his price will be up by then though? :/

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          yup but moving early could bite you like KdB last week, I've 3.7 ITB so can afford to wait
