Scout Notes

Why there is concern for Wolves’ FPL attackers despite another Jimenez goal

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 1-1 NEWCASTLE UNITED

  • Goals: Raul Jimenez (£8.5m) | Jacob Murphy (£4.9m)
  • Assists: None | Callum Wilson (£6.5m)
  • Bonus: Jimenez 3, Murphy x2, Romain Saiss (£5.2m) x 1

Newcastle United repeated their Gameweek 3 trick of wrestling a scarcely deserved point from the clutches of a miserable defeat at Molineux on Sunday.

Jacob Murphy‘s (£4.9m) late free-kick brought Steve Bruce’s side level, ten minutes after Raul Jimenez (£8.5m) looked to have given Wolverhampton Wanderers all three points with his fourth goal of the campaign.

While not quite a bogey team, the Magpies have proven to be a tough nut to crack for Wolves since their promotion back to the top flight: this was the fourth league meeting in a row between the two sides that has ended 1-1.

ATTACK HAMMERED

The supposed fixture swing for Wolves in Gameweek 3 hasn’t led to a glut of goals, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side scoring on just three occasions in the last four matches – despite facing the likes of Fulham and Newcastle in that time.

After a promising start on Sunday, the game became a bit of a non-event and it underscored an ongoing issue with Wolves’ attack, particularly against the also-rans of the division.

Twelve of Wolves’ 16 shots against Newcastle, including Jimenez’s goal, came from outside the box, with the hosts not really creating a single gilt-edged chance all match.

Asked about whether other players bar his Mexican striker should be sharing the workload on the goalscoring front, Santo said:

Yes, of course. We want all the players to score the goals, of course. I want every player to score 30 goals if possible. That’s what I’m trying to work on, trying to improve.

We had a lot of shots, not all of them on target. Let’s try to improve on the final delivery and the clinical moment of shooting on goal, making the keeper work. We didn’t test the keeper too many times, not too many shots on target.

Perhaps the Gameweek 3 thrashing at West Ham was a turning point.

Since then, Santo has proceeded with caution in tactics and personnel: Adama Traore (£6.4m) hasn’t started a single game, the defensive-minded Leander Dendoncker (£4.9m) has started all three in central midfield and centre-half Romain Saiss (£5.2m), admittedly through necessity at first, has been deployed at wing-back.

Wolves have seldom battered sides since their return to top flight and, despite his early-season words about wanting more goals and giving his players “more freedom”, it could be that the defeat at the London Stadium was a reminder to Santo that his success so far has been predicated on solidity further back.

The loss of Diogo Jota (£6.3m) and Matt Doherty (£5.8m) has also deprived Wolves of two sources of goals, with their replacements impressing but so far not offering that same threat in front of goal.

PODENCE-IAL ROTATION RISK

Those Fantasy managers who moved for Daniel Podence (£5.5m) ahead of the aforementioned fixture swing have seen little for their investment, with the budget midfielder blanking again on Sunday.

The Wolves winger started the game very promisingly, chancing his arm from distance twice in the opening 10 minutes and forcing Karl Darlow (£5.0m) into one of just two saves he had to make all match.

A lovely bit of interplay beween the hosts’ front three led to another blocked Podence shot just after half-time, with the Portugal international then setting up both Jimenez and Pedro Neto (£5.0m) for chances of their own.

It all counted for nought though as he was hooked not long after the hour-mark for the third game running and the clamour for Traore’s return may be getting louder, with Podence potentially most at risk.

That’s because the equally-impressive Neto has been an ever-present starter this season and it’s perhaps significant that it has been Podence who has been hooked first in each of the last three Gameweeks, with Traore taking his place on two of those occasions.

SITTING ON DEFENCE

Wolves were already joint-top for clean sheets heading into Sunday’s match but they would have had an outright lead had Murphy’s free-kick not found its way past a poorly formed wall and an equally culpable Rui Patricio (£5.5m) in the dying minutes.

The visitors had created next to nothing before that, with their total of five efforts on goal the lowest of any side in Gameweek 6 so far.

Santo said of his side’s defensive display:

We were solid and didn’t allow chances to Newcastle, we were solid on that part. But, of course, we’re upset.

All the game we were in control, managing well. It was a good goal, but it was disappointing to make a mistake in the final moments of the game. The ball cannot go on that side of the wall. The set-up was not the correct one.

There is little concern about the competency of the Wolves backline (they have banked 12 clean sheets in their last 20 league games) but there may be a degree of uncertainty about the personnel within it.

Conor Coady (£5.0m) and Willy Boly (£5.5m) are nailed at the back and Nelson Semedo (£5.5m) looks fairly secure at present, but the left-hand-side of the defence is tougher to call.

Saiss cheekily banked a clean sheet and a bonus point thanks to his 68th-minute withdrawal with the score at 0-0, with that haul catapulting him back to the top of the FPL points table among Fantasy defenders.

The substitution itself might be a medium-term cause for concern, however, with Saiss understandably offering little in the way of attacking threat from left wing-back and replaced by a more natural fit in the shape of Marcal (£4.9m).

Wing-backs have been crucial to Wolves’ set-up under Santo and if Marcal is recalled this Friday, which is by no means a given, then it could be Saiss and Max Kilman (£4.1m) who are competing for that third centre-half spot alongside Coady and Boly.

The decision would have been an easier one to make had it not been for Kilman’s recent displays, with the former futsal star again turning in a solid showing on Sunday and denying Callum Wilson (£6.5m) with one fine challenge early on.

RAFA RETURNS

With Newcastle short of numbers in the middle of the park – a half-fit Isaac Hayden (£4.9m) only on the bench and Jonjo Shelvey (£5.4m) now set to be sidelined for a long period after groin surgery – Steve Bruce turned to the tactics of his predecessor for this match.

The resultant display was, not for the first time this season, predictably short on attacking threat, with Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.3m) cutting a frustrated figure despite given a free role and eventually taken off.

It did lead to a more solid defensive display following the 4-1 loss against Manchester United, however, with Wolves comfortably kept at bay for the most part and Jimenez only breaking the deadlock from distance.

It remains to be seen if the Magpies again set out with a defence-first approach to stop Everton in Gameweek 7, with Bruce explaining after the game that he wants his side to be “hard to beat” while also evolving from the Rafael Benitez era:

We didn’t have any natural midfield players who want to win the ball back today. We have to defend better than we have done of late, we have to be hard to beat.

We are trying to find a balance to the team, it won’t happen overnight but we are trying to change the way we play.


Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patricio, Kilman, Coady, Boly, Saiss (Marcal de Oliveira 68′), Neves (Moutinho 83′), Dendoncker, Semedo, Neto, Podence (Traore 68′), Jimenez.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Murphy, Lewis, Fernandez, Lascelles (Carroll 88′), Schar, Almiron, Hendrick, Fraser (Joelinton 78′), Saint-Maximin (S Longstaff 78′), Wilson.

    At least if jimi scores he’s more or less guaranteed baps

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He doesn't score enough for his price though. And, I could live with it if he was missing lots of chances and you can feel a big haul is imminent - but at the moment, I feel he is doing all he can in a side that just isn't creating enough chances.

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

        He missed 3 pretty good chances yesterday with awful scuffed shots

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

      They just look so unthreatening, it really is a painful watch.

    3. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      And he'll keep doing it all season. People will jump between 6-8m strikers chasing points, but Jimi scoring 17 points in two weeks when not playing well is, for me, a positive 😉 Also created a bit yesterday - the lack of that was my prior concern.

      I think Wolves will settle and improve in the coming weeks too.

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

      He's still on for a 200 point season in my books

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

        This right here.

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

        yes 4 from 6 is a 25 goal season so not a bad start at all.

        my concern would be the quality of chances, he's getting. He's a wicked deflection and a horrible bit of goalkeeping away from 4 blanks in a row. I know that isn't how it works, but it's indicative of Wolves' attacking threat right now.

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

    Is the bench ok? Also, who to captain - Salah, Sterling or Son?

    Martinez
    TAA James Dallas
    Salah Sterling Son Foden
    DCL Ings Bamford

    Steere Podence Mitchell Lamptey

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

      Son/Salah

  3. Hig1990
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone for Hamez to Zaha?

    1. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I've not had Hamez yet, only Zaha, but had planned to add Hamez. It feels like there is room for both if Hamez is fit

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      God no.

      I'm sticking with Hamez for the time being (unless injured of course)

      I know the minute I sign Zaha the pens will dry up and he will go back to being the frustrating player I've owned in the past

    3. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not ready to jump ship yet.

      Plus I wouldn't be completely surprised if Zaha blanks against Wolves like a lot of players do!

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

      Not with Fulham and Newcastle coming up

    5. Hig1990
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You are all sharing the same thoughts as myself. I too have been a frustrated Zaha owner in the past and hence haven't fallen into the trap again yet....lol GL all

    Repost from old article ...

    At Palace the talk was that Mitchell would lose his place once PVA was back, but when PVA came on as sub vs Fulham it was to replace Clyne. Does that mean Mitchell has done enough to secure a place or something else?

    Also any news on Ferguson coming back? I'd expected him after the break

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

      We'll find out next match. Maybe he plays rb

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Common sense says this:
      Clyne hasnt played football for a long time, to get 70 mins out of him was good, probably the reason for that sub.
      No news on Ferguson + Clyne signing for them makes it seem like Ferguson wont be back for a long time.

  5. Kristobal
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Most nailed on for Palace?

    A) Batshuayi
    B) Ayew

    1. soltrader
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Avoid both imo!

      Zaha is the only one I’d consider

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

    Chilwell, ASM & Bamford or Kilman, Zaha and Bamford?

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B. Because CSs are by no means guaranteed and Zaha is far better pick than ASM

  7. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Afternoon all. Any early ideas what to do with my FT here?

    2FT 0.5itb
    Martinez
    Robbo, Chilwell, Dallas
    Salah, Son, Pulisic, Grealish
    Kane (C), DCL, Maupay
    (Forster) (KWP, Stephens, Braithwaite)

    Thinking of
    A) Maupay > Bamford/ Antonio (if fit) (roll FT)
    B) Maupay, Braithwaite > Bamford/ Antonio, Kilman (2FT)

    Cheers!

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A) with Bamford. But, I'll be honest with you, it doesn't excite me at all.

      Trouble with Antonio is that he has Pool next (and of course might be injured anyway).

      Maybe roll transfer and re-assess next week would be be what I'd do

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I could easily do nothing but I’ve got 2FT and don’t want to burn one. Maybe just Braithwaite > Kilman?

        1. thegaffer82
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Sorry I missed that part - yep bring in Kilman.

          Rest of your team is looking great I think!

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            As with yours my teams been looking between fine and great most weeks but not delivering the goods!

            Maybe Kilman is the move but not sure if I’d start him (vs CRY) over Dallas (LEI)...

            1. thegaffer82
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I'd start Kilman over Dallas (just about anyway).

              Of course, he may be dropped to accommodate Marcal at LWB and Saiss back to CB.

              But at this stage, and with a FT to burn, it's worth it I think

              1. Don Kloppeone
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Let’s see what Maupay does for me tonight (if anything)!

  8. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    It's looking like a good week to avoid hits and do a bit of housekeeping (this will be the first week I haven't taken a hit apart from WC week).

    Sitting at almost 3mil rank but no need to panic I reckon. Team looks alright I think, just need a massive slice of luck and I'll be back on the right track.

    So, what move are we thinking chaps?

    .................Martinez
    ......TAA* - Saiss - Justin*
    Salah - Son - Pulisic - J-Rod - Podence*
    .........(K)ane - DCL
    Bench - Brewster - Lamptey - Mitchell
    1FT & 0.7 ITB

    a) Justin > Koufal (poor fixture this week when I need him though!)
    b) Justin > Ayling
    c) Podence > Barkley
    d) TAA > Chilwell
    e) TAA & Podence > Chilwell & Grealish (-4)
    f) Justin & Podence > Ayling & Barkley (-4)
    g) Other suggestion?

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

      Agree on my part, too many questions and I'm not sure I have the answers. Banking the FT and reassessing later.

      I'd say the same for you.

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Save for sure. The team is fine and 2FT is always good

      1. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It's just Justin away against Leeds is making my DF look weak this week. Plus, his position is under threat once Leic injuries clear up.

        Ayling in this week would sort all that out

  9. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Will Kilman keep his place now Marcal is back? Nuno took off Saiss from the failed wing back position for Marcal but was that just so he didnt disrupt the central pairing midway through the game? Or has Kilman now got Saiss' place?

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

      Read the article?

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think this is just one to watch and wait. I can't see Nuno telling uis directly in the pressers.

      My feeling is that Nuno really likes Saiss, but it just isn't working at LWB for him or for Wolves. So, I guess he will play Marcal and bench Kilman.

      But, perhaps worth mentioning that I'm an optimistic Saiss owner!

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

      We'll find out next match. It's a guess for everyone right now. Personally hope he starts for palace at least. I'm removing him after that anyways

    4. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Only NES knows.

  10. Nespinha
    • 8 Years

    2FT 2.4ITB, any suggestions?

    Thinking of Pereira to Grealish and save

    Mccarthy, Steer
    Robbo, Saiss, KWP, Mitchell, Ferguson
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Podence, Pereira
    DCL, Werner, Davis

  11. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If you like talisman theory, you’ll love Jimenez and keep him.

    Involved in 66% of their goals so far and not a single penalty yet. So even if their games are low-scoring, good chance he’s involved.

  12. Amey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    "Yes, of course. We want all the players to score the goals, of course. I want every player to score 30 goals if possible. That’s what I’m trying to work on, trying to improve.

    We had a lot of shots, not all of them on target. Let’s try to improve on the final delivery and the clinical moment of shooting on goal, making the keeper work. We didn’t test the keeper too many times, not too many shots on target."

    LOL @ Nuno for lying 😆
    They are still defend first team unlike what he's suggesting so many times this season

  13. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Watching the last United games, I thought Rashford was really sharp and dangerous. But it is enough to make him a better option than Fernandes although he is 1M less ?!

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

      He's a good option. Not better than Bruno. But he doesn't have to be.

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Rashford is *starting* to look like he's going to be fantasy gold.

      I think he will make a mockery of his price tag this year.

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

      Penalties may make Bruno but both should be great value. I'd like to get Rashford in GW9.

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

        *better

  14. The Mighty Whites

    Thoughts?

    1FT, 2.4 ITB:

    Martinez, Peacock-Farrell

    TAA, Saiss, Lamptey, Taylor, Mitchell

    Salah, Son, Rodriguez, Grealish, Alzate

    Kane, Calvert-Lewin, Bamford

    1. Justin Credibles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What do we think about the jimi to ings transfer ? Assuming you already have dcl and Kane...

    Seems sidewise but ings has 2 great fixtures and can see a couple of tough games for jimi with palace and Leicester and even Southampton after that doesn’t look great

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

      Waste of a transfer - both Ings and Jimenez, with a full season, will score around the 20 goals mark and get around 200 points. Probably better upside moves elsewhere in your team.

  16. Quan MisTaka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Did Sterling and Watkins to Kane and Zaha for a hit.

    Wanted to catch the price rise

    Feeling pretty good about it

  17. Justin Credibles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Pulisic > KDB

      I have 2 FTs and 0 ITB and not really not sure what to do. I was expecting Mitchell to be dropped at weekend so was thinking of doing Mitchell to Kilman but now I'm undecided. Thoughts? If I get Kilman it won't be a Wolves double up for long as looking at Saiss to Masuaku in week 8.

        I think Mitchell’s days are numbered so I’d do that and carry a FT

          Yeah, I was thinking that too but what got me wondering was that PVA replaced Ward instead Mitchell so is there a possibility Mitchellm plays right back?

      Saw United want Haaland. They have such a good attack with Rash, Tony, Bruno, now Cavani, Greenwood. Why doesn't Ole invest in their leaky defense ffs

        Haaland won’t go to a team that will be in the Europa league

      Martinez Areola

      Semedo Keane Chilwell Lamptey Dallas

        Sell Aguero (sorry). No issue with the rest of the Team IMO. Not a big fan of Trossard or Havertz but can be addressed later.

          Maupay + Branthwaite --> Antonio + Kilman??

              Keep Maupay

            Happy with my Team but not with my points!! Anything you would change here (for a hit) chaps? 2.5 ITB.

            Martinez (SOU)
            Saiss (CRY), Chilwell (bur), Kilman (CRY)
            Salah (WHU), Son (BHA), Fernandes (ARS), Barkley (SOU)
            Kane (BHA), DCL (New), Bamford (LEI)

            (Steer, Justin, Mitchell, Bissouma)

            Considering Bissouma -> Foden, Barkley -> Rodriguez or Fernandes -> KDB next week (if I don't need to get rid of Saiss!).

            Cheers!
