The Scout Network: Are premium defenders worth the investment?

The international break and build up to Gameweek 5 were busy periods for the Scout Network. We caught up with some of them to see what they got up to, as well as finding out their thoughts on the latest FPL talking points.

Some key figures from the Network shared their views on the debate surrounding premium defenders and whether they are worth the investment…

The Scout Network: Are Premium Defenders worth the investment? 2

Ted Talk’s FPL graphic for potential attacking returns from defenders

Clean sheets may have more-or-less vanished since the restart of the Premier League but we don’t necessarily pick defenders just for clean sheet points. We have to play at least three of them in our FPL teams so why not pick those with the greatest attacking potential?

In the graphic above, the black icons represent the defenders priced £5.5m and over. There are only really four premium defenders that are statistically head and shoulders above the rest: Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Chilwell and Digne.

The latter three all have three attacking returns to their name, while Alexander-Arnold only has one, despite having the most impressive stats.

There are certainly more attacking returns to come from the highest points-scoring defender for the last two seasons – sellers beware.

Chilwell’s position is even more remarkable given these numbers are from just two appearances. These four players all play for teams who are in good attacking form, meaning their creativity has a higher chance of being converted into goals. This is a key aspect that might not be applicable long-term to players priced under £5.5m.

The next best players include three West Ham men, Reece James (rotation risk) and Tariq Lamptey. The latter, in my opinion, is the best of the rest.

Brighton have been in good attacking form this season enabling Lamptey’s creativity and penalty box touches to be converted into three assists.

There seems to be a bit of template forming for the defensive line and, crucially, most of the selections seem to be premium options. This is why I am championing keeping money in the backline.

Maintaining flexibility with different price points is important, allowing you to jump on any player easily when they come into form. For example, if you lost faith with an expensive back line and then suddenly Alexander-Arnold started hauling, it would be difficult to bring him back in without the use of a Wildcard.

I am also confident that once goalkeeping issues are sorted out for Liverpool, Chelsea and perhaps Everton, clean sheets will be more forthcoming, at least against low scoring sides such as Crystal Palace, Burnley, Sheffield Utd, West Brom, Fulham and Newcastle.

Laporte celebrating scoring for Manchester City during Project Restart

My personal strategy this season is to stick with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson all season. Yes clean sheets may be limited, especially with Virgil van Dijk and Alison injured, but with those two players, you’re basically buying £7m/£7.5m attackers who also get clean sheet points.

I think, come the end of the season, we’ll struggle to find better value than the Liverpool full-backs.

This strategy also allows me to focus my transfers on attacking players as opposed to constantly switching defenders based on form. Outside of the Liverpool full-backs I’m not sure I’d be interested in any of the other premiums.

If however, Aymeric Laporte returns to fitness and looks to be playing regularly, I think he offers tremendous value at £6.0m, so he is the only other premium defender I’m keeping an eye on at the minute

Alexander-Arnold's consistency continues as Firmino unlucky to blank

Trent Alexander-Arnold in action for Liverpool

The Premium defenders are really divisive topic in the FPL community so far this season. While there have been a similar number of clean sheets in the opening weeks of this season as there were last term, the number of goals conceded in each Gameweek has been higher.

I started this season with one premium, one mid price, two 4.5m defenders and a 4.0m option and actually my thinking on this as a strategy still hasn’t changed.

I held Trent Alexander-Arnold through my Wildcard, however with van Dijk’s injury he made now be downgraded to one of the more mid-range defenders such as Ben Chilwell who, whilst aren’t keeping clean sheets are providing more regular attacking returns than we are seeing from Trent currently or a sideways move to Robertson who is offering more attacking threat currently.

Alexander-Arnold’s forward momentum seemed to have been limited by Jordan Henderson’s positioning in the Merseyside Derby during Gameweek 5, whereas on the other side Robertson was much higher up the pitch and thus his connection with Mane was working better than Alexander-Arnold’s with Mohamed Salah.

For me, if your Premium defender is returning regular attacking returns then it is worth maintaining them, however if they aren’t returning at either end of the pitch nor keeping clean sheets its probably time to think about redistributing the money across the rest of the team.

What’s going on in the Scout Network?

Ted Talks FPL

After a disastrous Gameweek 4, Ted Talk’s FPL played his Wildcard over the International Break which turned out to be a good decision, with new additions Son + Kane (c) doing well, amongst other successes.

Ted’s YouTube channel reached the milestone of 1,000 subscribers aided by two attack and defence videos, which proved to be popular. Over on Twitter, Ted reached 10k followers, having added daily animations to the schedule.

Ted Talk’s FPL will also be appearing on the FFScout sponsored FPL Wildcats’ live stream with FPL Nymfria this Thursday evening at 21:00 BST.

FPL Partridge

In FPL terms I’ve been doing very little to my team. In fact, had it not been for a Jamie Vardy injury, I’d have saved my free transfer for Gameweek 6.

This season I’m trying not to tinker too much with my squad as I find it’s easy to start overthinking things. I spend a lot of time in the FFS Premium Members Area, digesting the stats, but very little time on the Official FPL site, managing my team.

I have been keeping up to date with my blog, where I detail my thoughts and transfers each gameweek and as usual I have been hanging around on FPL Twitter engaging in discussion and sharing my FPL fails.

El Statto

Over the International Break El Statto launched a new series of articles over on his website called The ABC Transfer Guide. He published the first two articles last week Setting out the stall & Early Doors

El Statto also spend International Break making improvements to the functionality and look of his website to make it a more user friendly and nicer site for FPL managers to use.

FPL Poker Player

Weekly FPL Poker Tables blog was published which reported on very encouraging results for the previous gameweek’s predictions, and highlighted the key points of interest regarding the Gameweek 5 scoreline predictions, clean sheet probabilities, expected goals and player points.

Spreadsheet sales went global with customers now from all around the world, including Indonesia, Slovenia, Malaysia, India, and Ireland.

FPL Poker Player also announced the development of a new sortable players expected points table to enhance the value of the tables to make it an even more useful tool for FPL managers.

The betting arm spinoff account also recorded a 25% Return On Investment in GW4, with 3 winning bets out of the 4 recommended to followers.

FPLFamily

Both Lee and Sam played their Wildcard’s over International Break – albeit in very different circumstances. Lee deployed his very early in the two-week window, with Sam playing her’s on the Friday evening before the deadline when the Kevin De Bruyne injury news broke.

Their stream in the middle of International break looked at Lee’s wildcard as well as the drafts of all of their Patreon‘s who were playing their Wildcards.

You can catch the FPLFamily’s latest live stream here.

    Brighton v WBA ... what a gift to climb rank with a lovely final day fixture 😉

    1. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes will have Lamptey and Maupay ready to rock for it 🙂

    Reece James to Chilwell/Bellerin/Digne for -4 or hold until next week?

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

      - If you want Chilwell, wait. Less likely we keep as CS vs. Man United. (Can you play a bench player instead?)
      - Not sure Bellerin for a hit is worth it. Could concede vs. Leicester & United.
      - If you want Digne, then maybe - but Southampton could easily score, but may not pay off either.

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

        My bench player is Taylor who’s play Spurs so not too keen to play. What are the chances James starts vs United?

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years

      Hold off

  3. fr3d

    Kane (c) is too obvious this week

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah the more obvious I think

    2. PL Ball
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would think that Salah is arguably more obvious.

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

      Salah much better option

    4. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah this week and Kane the following two imo mate!!

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

    After another poor GW, I have taken a - 8.

    Shall I just hit the WC to cancel the hits and sort out the other players* or stick with the - 8?

    Players* are probably luxury transfers and might not be worth using the WC.I could downgrade TAA to Chilwell and Bissouma to Foden.

    0.4itb 0ft
    Martinez Peacock*
    Robbo Ayling TAA* Taylor* Justin*
    Grealish Salah Son Rodriguez Bissouma

      I was in the same position as you. Could get the key transfers done for a -8 but just hit the WC and sorted out the bench/rotation options also. First WC needs to be used earlier this year, I wasn't confident that I would be in a position where I wanted to make more transfers than I currently do between now and Christmas.

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

        Difficult to predict that this season

  5. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best Holding replacement
    a) Lamptey
    b) Ayling
    c) other (already have Liverpool, Wolves & Villa cover)

    Best Pereira replacement
    1) Trossard
    2) Barkley
    3) Pereira
    4) other

    Chances are that these two players will end up rotating with each other between a 4-3-3 and a 3-4-3.

    Antonio 4th for NPxG despite a dreadful fixture run and playing for West Ham. Wish I knew how to bring him in when the fixtures turn, 6.3M is a bargain.

    1. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      All price change and form dependent, but I'm eyeing up Jimi/6.0 > Antonio/Pulisic for when the fixtures turn.

    2. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Any update with his potential injury do we know?

      I've eyed up Antonio for a while, but a lot of options up top at the moment

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

      The move for me is Foden + Davis > Antonio + Stephens -4 in 2 weeks time. I might well do it.

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

        Ever since Gregor mentioned a potential GW8 Antonio (C) I've had Brewster to Antonio penciled in. Think it's a great move. Guy in work is a big West Ham fan and I also promised him I'd buy him.. Think Kane might get the (C) instead though

  7. Tabes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Double up Defense:

    A - Wolves
    B - Aston Villa
    C - Everton

    Thanks

      A

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A - Saiss and Kilman

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

        i get the temptation, but it worries me having Kilman and Mitchell as both could be out of their respective teams with no easy switches.

        it's great if it pays off though.

        it would be better if it's Saiss that drops out as he is a much easier switch.

      2. Juza
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Kilman/Saiss 2 for 1 spot when Marcal is fit

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

          That is my concern

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

      I’m going B. Wolves fixtures doesn’t look too good from GW8 onwards.

  8. Red Red Robins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is there a chance KDB drops to 11.4? Alot have got rid

    1. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      If he isn't back this weekend then possibly.

  9. PL Ball
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Did Pep mention anything about KDB in his presser?

    1. Red Red Robins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not that ive seen, still unknown but hes 2nd to only VVD in tfrs outs

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

      Said something about returning in the next weeks I believe, but was quite broad for a range of injuries

      1. Red Red Robins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, not trusting 'next weeks' after what happened with Son
        Ive took him out last weke, so hoping he drops to 11.4 to put back in

      2. PL Ball
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Hope he keeps dropping in price!

    What to do with Greenwood??

    Do I sell him for Grealish/Barkley for -4 or something else?

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

      See what Ole says in the presser, if there’s doubt it’s an easy move imo

  14. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Would you do Barnes & Klich to Hamez & Grealish for -4?

    1. Party time
        3 years, 5 months ago

        James & Barkley

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

          Barkley definitely an option but I prefer Grealish

      • linkafu
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not for -4

      • kime67
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        could be good fixture for barnes to counter atack

    2. Party time
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bamford to Antonio(if fit) from gw 8 is a no brainer, yeah?

        Best moves... currently no Spurs or Villa

        A) Son + Maupay
        B) Kane + McGinn

        (Posted earlier but was 0.1 short of Barkley, so has to be McGinn instead)

        1. linkafu
          • 4 Years

          What are thoughts on this WC team?

          Martinez
          Robbo Lascelles Balbuena
          Sterling Bruno Salah Son
          DCL Watkins Brewster

          Button Jorginho Mitchell Kilman

            Like it. Not sure about lascelles so maybe upgrade him to Lamptey or someone by downgrading Jorginho

                • 14 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Yeah that is good

              I have crap TV so trying to go cheap at the back.

                sell robbo
                You are cheap at back and front

            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Balbuena is a rotation risk
            I'd downgrade Robbo and get Digne and Chilwell and better the other defenders the rest is great

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

            Just by downgrading one of those mids, you can get a decent set of players over current one

          Mitchell > Kilman is out of the frying pan into the fire isnt it?

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

            Yeah a little bit. Kilman is quite a risk if you have no cover.

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

            yeah, not worth a transfer.

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

            No, think both will lose their spot soon.

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

          Who to pick for the next two fixtures (will bring in Antonio GW8)?

          A. Maupay - WBA, tot
          B. Watkins - LEE, SOU

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

            b

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

          Last piece of the puzzle, need a 4.4m defender to play majority of the weeks. Any standout choices? Cooper looks like the only decent option.

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Newcastle?

        8. The Mandalorian
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Bruno or Grealish over the next 3

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

            I’d say Bruno except for his fixtures...maybe Chelsea instead? Or a punt on Bale

          2. VAR FEAR
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Bruno is on fire

          3. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Bruno

          4. The Mandalorian
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers guys Bruno it is

              Emergency goalie 😆

                • 12 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Bring him on for a penalty shootoutout, Krul-style.

          2. The Mandalorian
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Anyone think Barkley will take points of Grealish. Grealish stats are skewed due to LPool result.

            1. GreennRed
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Not longterm. Grealish as consistent as Barkley's inconsistency.

            2. Seanigula
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I think Grealish is overrated in general because of that 1 game...I went with McGinn

            3. Party time
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Yeah. Barkley is the one to have, Grealish is extremely overrated

            4. VAR FEAR
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Sirs can I get advice on

              A. Jesus to make way for one of Maupay/Watkins/Zaha
              And
              B. Harrison to make way for one of Mahrez/Foden/Trossard/Bowen/Barkley

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

                A. Maupay/Watkins
                B. Trossard/Barkley

                I'd personally do Jesus > Maupay and Harrison > Grealish

                1. VAR FEAR
                  • 3 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Grealish not an option, I keep thinking Mahrez but it seems that no one agree with me
