Scout Notes

Which of Villa’s FPL assets impressed in their win over Vardy-less Leicester?

Leicester City 0-1 Aston Villa

  • Goals: Ross Barkley (£5.9m)
  • Assists: John McGinn (£5.5m)
  • Bonus: Barkley x3, Emiliano Martinez (£4.7m) x2, Tyrone Mings (£5.1m) x1, Matty Cash (£5.0m) x1

A 91st-minute winner from Ross Barkley (£5.9m) maintained Aston Villa’s perfect start to the season as Leicester lost at home for the second straight Gameweek.

The Chelsea loanee took John McGinn‘s (£5.5m) pass and drove towards the Foxes box before hitting a low shot past Kasper Schmeichel (£5.5m) into the bottom corner to make it four wins on the trot for Dean Smith’s side.

In a season of drama, controversy and so many goals, Sunday night’s encounter was of the old school – tight, cagey and, at times, rather dull.

But Villa’s win and Leicester’s woes ensured there was plenty of Fantasy interest.

Choices, Choices…

Last year’s main move by many in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) was a double-up on Liverpool defenders, with a third place in people’s squads for one of the Reds’ exalted front three.

Now, there’s a growing argument that a Villa triple-up is required.

Such is their strength at present, there are Fantasy contenders across the pitch.

Emiliano Martinez (£4.7m), who brought in save and bonus points on Sunday, is the leading FPL points scorer among goalkeepers, while Tyrone Mings (£5.1m) tops the defenders’ chart.

The team also has two midfielders – Jack Grealish (£7.2m) and McGinn – and striker Ollie Watkins (£6.0m) in their respective top tens.

Barkley, with 20 points overall, is close to joining that roll of honour, with 18 of those points having come from his two Villa games, both of which he’s scored in.

The key question is whether Villa’s form is sustainable.

Manager Smith is, as you’d expect, not getting carried away:

To come here, keep a clean sheet and play as well as we did is very pleasing. It’s important we keep our feet firmly on the ground and stay humble.

But with a fine fixture list all the way through to Boxing Day, the prospects of more of the same from Villa look very strong indeed.

McGinn The Groove

How to tap into all this is good stuff is tricky.

Grealish’s 24-point haul against Liverpool meant he went into the Leicester game with double the owners and his blank on Sunday hasn’t dampened managers’ enthusiasm – he’s again in the top five for transfers-in and his price has risen as a result.

The midfielder is all boom and bust so far. Other than his monster haul against Liverpool, he’s managed one eight-pointer and two blanks and he didn’t have a single shot at the King Power Stadium.

In fact, he had a poor game by his standards, with too many wrong choices made in the final third, mostly involving him holding on to the ball for far too long.

But his overall stats for the season – 14 chances created and nine attempts – are strong enough to ensure his 21% ownership will only rise at present.

The same cannot be said of Sunday’s assister, McGinn.

Five Villa players are currently in the top 30 for Gameweek 6 purchases. The 1.5%-owned McGinn is not one of them.

And yet the midfielder has been very consistent, with three straight returns, two of which were for double-digit hauls.

He now has a goal and four assists to his name this season and only Harry Kane (£10.7m) has set up more goals (seven).

Grealish is catching the eye and hoovering up the managers. McGinn remains the differential and currently frees up £1.7m in funds as well.

As for match-winner Barkley, Smith was generous with his praise:

We have seen Ross Barkley do that enough times for Everton and Chelsea so we are pleased he did it for us. It was touch and go whether he started. He had a knock to the knee, but a great goal and a real battling performance by the whole team.

But the midfielder’s previous record of burning brightly and then producing very little has clearly scarred FPL managers as he’s barely out-performing McGinn for purchases at present.

Pick A Defender, Any Defender

As well as being the leading FPL goalkeeper in terms of points, Martinez is also the most popular, with 21.6% ownership (and rising).

But you have to scroll a long way down the defenders list to find Villa names, with Mings (6.7%) and Ezri Konsa (£4.6m and 6.1%) the first to appear, even though the team has kept a league-leading three clean sheets.

The pair also lead the way among Villa’s backline for points – 30 and 28 respectively – with Matty Cash (18 points) and Matt Targett (£4.5m and 17pts) yet to produce attacking returns.

Targett, however, had two shots against the Foxes – no Villa player had more – while Cash has created four chances this season.

In terms of attacking points, the full-backs’ time will come, you feel, and Targett’s price tag could be a key factor for many.

No Vardy, No Party

Leicester out-shot their visitors 11-10, but barely stretched Martinez, a Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) effort the toughest of the five saves he had to make.

Much of the reason for that was down to the absence, with a calf injury, of striker Jamie Vardy (£10.1m).

Leicester started the season by scoring 12 goals in their first three matches, with five of them coming from the forward.

A deep-lying West Ham foiled the Foxes in Gameweek 4, but with no Vardy on Sunday, Villa could keep a higher line and not worry about being hurt in behind by Leicester’s other strikers, Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m) and Islam Slimani (£5.0m), who managed just two shots between them.

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers delivered the latest news on Vardy post-match.

Jamie will probably miss Thursday (Europa League). It’s a recurrence of a problem he’s had for a number of years with his calves. This isn’t serious, so we’re hopeful he’ll be ready for the next league game.

That will be music to the ears of his 22.5% ownership, although a trip to a defensively-improved Arsenal next week is not the fixture for forwards it was last season.

Leicester’s squad is fairly strong, which is just as well with a growing injury list for Rodgers to manage, but they are not the same threat without Vardy to lead the line and stretch defences.

Fofana Impresses

.

Another key man out injured, the 7.5%-owned Caglar Soyuncu (£5.5m), will not be returning any time soon, as Rodgers confirmed:

Caglar is more serious. The muscle has come right off the bone so he could be three months out.

His absence meant a debut for £32m Saint-Etienne signing Wesley Fofana (£5.0m), and the teenager was, generally, immaculate.

Rodgers was certainly a happy manager:

He was outstanding. Supporters will have great joy watching him. He’s got huge potential and he’ll be a big player for our future.

So while Vardy was sorely missed, Fofana ensured Soyuncu’s absence was fully covered – a welcome piece of news for the 20%+ of FPL managers hoping for future clean sheets from full-backs Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) and James Justin (£4.8m).


Leicester City XI (4-5-1): Schmeichel; Justin, Evans, Fofana, Castagne; Tielemans, Mendy (Choudhury 78′), Praet (Maddison 68′), Perez, Barnes, Iheanacho (Slimani 71′).

Aston Villa XI (4-5-1): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett; Luiz, McGinn, Trezeguet (Traore 81′), Barkley, Grealish; Watkins.

    Would you WC this team?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Justin KWP Taylor Ferguson
    Sterling Son Barnes Pereira Bissouma
    Kane Jimenez Adams

    1FT / 2.6ITB

    Or should I just use the funds to upgrade Barnes or Pereira?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years

      yes

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Depends what you want. I had a similar team and decided to WC

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I would change the GK, all my defense, Barnes, Pereira and Adams probably.

    3. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think I'd WC to include Salah/Mane, probably Rodriguez, and some better defence.

    Kilman is pretty good with bonus points...

    1. Mile Plankton

      Will Reece James drop in price more during this week?

      1. Camino Aleatorio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Has to - but he’s not a starter. When can you play him?

  7. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years

    My team for GW6 looks sorted.
    Havertz+Reece->Son+Kilman for a -4 is done.

    Areola
    Alexander-Arnold Saiss Kilman Mitchell
    Salah(TC) Sterling Son Rodriguez

      That looks good.

      Can we expect Kilman to be a regular starter?

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years

        2 starts, 2 clean sheets, including a MotM yesterday. I see him starting.

      Any way to include Son at least, if not Kane?

      Not a fan of Bruno btw, but I guess he deliveres, so no argue with that.

  9. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What's the word on KIlman? Is he going to keep playing? Could be excellent backup if so

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

      He’ll start again I reckon. It’s kinda his spot to lose now. Started last 2 and 2 CS

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

        I agree with this, Nuno isn't one to change a winning team especially the defence

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

      Cheers, let's hope so. I was going to save a free, but I've just put him in for no one on my bench 🙂

      Wolves haven't played well for a while

      They didn't play well yesterday either. Moment of brilliance from Jim for the goal. Bad for 70+ minutes

      1. Bushwhacker

    B) Dunne Grealish Kane (-4)

    Martinez Forster
    Robertson Lamptey Dallas Mitchell *****
    Salah Sterling Son ***** Soucek
    ***** DCL Brewster

    Cheers.

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

      B is better but I would not take a hit to get it.
      And if you do go for B then Kilman over Dunne

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

        Pretty much either TAA/Watkins > Kilman/Kane(-4) or Barnes > Pulisic for free

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

          Kane is a must-own imo but selling TAA and Watkins for a hit can backfire so heavily, I would prefer to go for Barnes to Grealish personally but Pulisic is also a good option

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

            Could go Grealish instead but don’t want double Villa attack

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

              Fair enough, actually I prefer Hamez as you don't own him

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

    McCarthy ¦
    TAA - Coady - Ward
    KdB* - Salah - Jorginho - Son
    Kane - Maupay - Wilson*
    ¦ Bissouma - Justin* - Taylor

    A) Justin -> Fernandes + Reguilon
    B) Wilson -> Grealish + Aguero

    Which option seems best??

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

      KDB to Mane/Sterling if KDB is out maybe?

  16. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A couple of big holes with no Kane or Everton attackers, but I think I’ll roll this week given how great the fixtures are. Thoughts?

    TAA Robbo Saiss Konsa
    Salah (C) Bruno Son Podence
    Maupay Jiménez

    Steer; Alzate, Mitchell, Davis...1.9itb

    Can either just do either Jimmy / Maupay > DCL or bring in Kane for a -4

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ryan in goal. Didn’t feel the need to list based on his performances lately.

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

      Podence to Grealish?

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’ve very clumsily gotten to own 3 AVL players with 2 of them bench fodders. I thought I’d gone with another keeper on the WC but didn’t change.

        To correct I’ll likely go something like Bruno > Grealish and Davis > DCL for a hit.

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Davis > Watkins could be a shout. But Grealish preferred. And even Barkley

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Wouldn’t go near Watkins. Brewster and use the money.

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

          Overall they are good moves but Bruno to Grealish could backfire.. but yeah it would be good to have DCL

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

    How do you find Mahrez? He did great against Arsenal but had no chances of FPL points.
    Is switching to Hamez (-4) worth it? He might do very well against Saints.
    But I suspect Mahrez will still play in the front 3 for City. Your thoughts please. Thanks.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t think it’s worth a -4. But perhaps one of those transfers to just get over with in some ways.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

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

        Thanks. If he seems to start against West Ham, it is worth keeping IMO at least for a week to avoid the hit.

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Not for a hit, do it with FT after that imo

    Stephens, Dunne, Mendy, Mitchel & Lamptey all not guaranteed starters.

    Would leave 0.7ITB to upgrade one of the others next week.

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

      Not the week to sell TAA even though you have double Liverpool defence

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He’s going to drop in price this evening and it’s an easy way to gain funds for another player to upgrade.

  20. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years

    Is Martinez+KWP worth the 0.3 extra over McCarthy+Targett or do you think there's not much in it?

    D) Lamptey
    E) Digne

    McCarthy, Steer
    TAA, VVD*, Bellerin, Holding, Mitchell
    Salah, Son, Foden, Barkley, Bissouma
    Kane, Jiménez, Antonio

    Bank 0.3m, 1FT, WC available

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Short term C
      Long term A/E I think, prefer Chilwell

    2. Eric Banternaaa
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’m looking at going for C. Some great fixtures coming up

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah am tempted - looks to have a decent cross on him so can see a few assists in his locker. Going Saiss means I can afford Antonio -> DCL or Foden -> Rodriguez though. Worth getting the Wolves man for this reason?

  22. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Downgrading KWP to Kilman to find Ryan to Martínez sounds good?

      How long will he keep playing? atleast KWP plays. Also Ryan has WBA next week. Can wait.

      Thanks guys not an immediate move and can wait til nothing else is urgent, but if Kilman nails the spot I think the moves look good and I also have Lamptey starting most weeks. The Brighton defence ain’t that bad just not delivering the points but as stated above I am hoping the double up works well against WB.

        Ryan really frustrating with no save point so far. 🙁

    Is Kilman gonna play now? Is he an option?

    1. Bushwhacker

      I don’t think Marcal is there to sit on a bench. Might rotate depending on opponents.

    What can be done with this team? 1ft, 0.2 itb. Save or sell Barnes? Any suggestions?

    McCarthy
    TAA, Lamptey, Mitchell
    Salah, Son, Zaha, Barnes
    Kane, DCL, Jimenez

    subs: Forster, Justin, Taylor, Stephens

      • 7 Years

      Can you do Barnes to Grealish?
      If yes then do that otherwise save

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That was my planned move this week. Sounds good.
        Well it was my plan until I went completely rogue / mad.

  25. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Ings to DCL for a hit is complete madness right? Just think I always keep missing out on DCL because of other problems and he just continues to rise exponentially.. Although there is every chance Ings ends up outscoring DCL..

      I wrote a long reply and lost it!!
      Anyway in summary I agree I would not rush into. However DCL ownership is annoying if you don’t have him.

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ah no worries!
        Yeah true I'm holding on to the hope that he eventually blanks :P, that would be huge for me haha.. surely it has to happen sometime? It's wishful thinking though lol

  26. Wag the Drog

    Bruno to Son for a hit?
    Have Kane.

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

      Not for a hit

      1. Wag the Drog
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don’t you think it will pay off in the next 3 fixtures?

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

          It might but I think after those 3 fixtures many will even look to do Son to Bruno.. and Bruno certainly has the potential to haul in next 3 as well, the fixtures are not as hard as they look on paper.

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

            Yup. Son to Bruno GW9 for me. Lets me keep Foden for that insane run from GW10. Kane stays as everything Spurs runs through him, unless another big hitter pulls me away... Say, Kun on rampage with good fixtures

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

              Sounds like a plan!

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

      Are you a risk-taker? Do you handle it well when risks backfire?

      I've sold Bruno for a hit to get Kane. I'll get him back (for Son !!!) in GW9 after selling Robbo in GW8

      It's high impact. It can look quite stupid. It's fun

      You won't get any confirmation of your logic here because it isn't logical to use hits to switch premiums

      Bruno is an alright kid, but his penalty show is just pathetic. It’s like watching Greece win the Euro in 2004

      I wish he played for a real team and penalties were rare again

      Yes

  27. SpaceCadet

    Play one this gw

    a. Ward (ful a)
    b. Dallas (avl a)

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

      A

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

      Definitely Ward. Avoid playing defenders against Villa until their form drops

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Because it was so free flowing at Leicester? Leeds FB can score points against anyone.

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    4. SpaceCadet

      Thanks all

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

      B for me, see Fulham scoring in that one... at least Dallas has more chance of attacking return

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This

    Best option with your WC?

    A) Find a fixture swing
    B) Wait until your team is decimated
    C) Hope for a DGW

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

      A bit of A and B, any news about C will be too late for 1st WC I think

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

    Best option?
    A. Fernandes + Targett
    B. Zaha + TAA
    C. Havertz + Reguilon

    35 points last week. 98(-4) all out this week.

    Finally some respite after some abysmal showing this season.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Well done. Those swings right! If you got 2 scores in the 60s it would be boring but 35 hen 98 brings the emotions into it.
      Very happy with 102 this week, just the one blank which is awesome. 12 bonus points and only 4 points from the bench

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years

        Nice.
