What Fulham defeat tells us about West Brom defence ahead of Spurs clash

Fulham 2-0 West Brom

  • Goals: Bobby De Cordova-Reid (£5.3m), Ola Aina (£4.5m)
  • Assists: Aleksandar Mitrovic x2 (£5.8m)
  • Bonus points: Aina x3, De Cordova-Reid x2, Antonee Robinson x1 (£4.4m)

BAG ‘EM AND TAG ‘EM

Any concerns that West Bromwich Albion’s defence had improved enough to cause Spurs problems in Gameweek 8 were dissipated in a 2-0 defeat to Fulham on Monday night.

After conceding 13 goals in the first four matches of the season, Slaven Bilic tweaked the Baggies’ backline from a back-five to a back-four, adding Branislav Ivanović (£4.5m) into the mix.

There were initial signs of recovery as they kept their first clean sheet and conceded just once in the Serbian’s first two matches for the club.

However, that progress was dashed in Gameweek 7 as a poor Fulham side made light work of emerging 2-0 winners at Craven Cottage on Monday night.

That was only the second time this season that Scott Parker’s men had found the net more than once in a match and they also bested a number of their underlying statistics against West Brom.

As you can see from the comparison above, on Monday night, Fulham registered superior figures for shots, big chances, shots on target, accuracy rate and goal conversion in comparison to their averages between Gameweeks 1 and 6. That certainly suggests the Baggies are not quite as capable of restricting sides as they indicated in Gameweeks 5 and 6.

FALSE DAWN

While West Brom have certainly conceded fewer goals since Ivanović’s debut, and improved some defensive underlying statistics, they have by no means become watertight.

We must remember that the last three matches have pitted them against weaker opposition in Burnley, Brighton and Fulham while Southampton (two goals), Chelsea (three), Everton (five) and Leicester (three) had no problems dismantling the Baggies.

What is also of interest, is one area of West Brom’s team that has been a persistent problem, regardless of opposition: their right-hand flank.

The maps of key passes conceded by West Brom this season, split across the two different defence systems they have used, show a concentration on their right-hand side.

Between Gameweeks 1 and 6, every assist they gave up came from that direction and while that has not continued to be the case from Gameweek 5 onwards, you can see that they are still giving up more chances created there than anywhere else.

Crucially, a quick look back to the defence comparison table shows you that, despite conceding fewer goals since a switch to a back-four, their chances conceded from the right per game has risen from 10.8 to 14.0.

That is rather encouraging for those taking Spurs’ left-sided assets Son Heung-min (£9.6m) and Sergio Reguilón (£5.6m) into Gameweek 8.

Indeed, one of Fulham’s goals scored on Monday night looked as if it had been lifted straight from Jose Mourinho’s playbook this season.

Left-back Antonee Robinson (£4.4m) pressed into advanced space, crossing for Aleksandar Mitrović (£5.8m) who nodded back across goal for Bobby De Cordova-Reid (£5.3m) to nip in at the back post and head home.

ADEMOLA BOOKMAN

Despite picking up just one point thanks to a blank and a yellow card, Ademola Lookman (£5.0m) continues to impress for Fulham.

Utilising his pace in wide areas, the former Everton man produced an all-round performance, shooting and setting up his team-mates alike; of course, helped by West Brom’s brittle right-hand side.

The fixtures remain unfavourable for Fulham, with West Ham (away), Everton (home), Leicester (away) and Manchester City (away) their next four opponents.

However, it is worth keeping the player on our radars considering his price.

Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; A Robinson, Adarabioyo, Andersen, Aina; Lemina (Reed 46′), Zambo Anguissa; Lookman (Bryan 90′), Cairney, De Cordova-Reid (Cavaleiro 85′); Mitrović.

West Bromwich Albion XI (4-1-4-1): Johnstone; C Townsend, Ajayi, Ivanović, Furlong; Krovinović (M Phillips 70′); Diangana, Gallagher, Livermore (Sawyers 56′), M Pereira (C Robinson 56′); Grant.

    After much thought and procrastination, I think I've decided what transfers I'm making this week. Are the following moves a thumbs up or a thumbs down?

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

    I originally wanted to do TAA & Pulisic > Chilwell/Zouma & Rash/Bruno. But a DF crisis and Man Utd looking awful, how does this look instead?

    A) Saiss & Pulisic > Zouma/Chilly & Ziyech
    or just keep with
    B) TAA & Pulisic > Zouma/Chilly & Bruno/Rash

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

      B

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A with chilly and ziyech look good although zaha might be a better pick

      1. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Zaha... gosh no

        Palace are shocking

    3. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B) Chilly & Rashford. Making Similar moves myself

    4. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

  2. Bielsa Murderball
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Watkins or wilson?

    1. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson

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

      Grealish over Watkins from villa attack and I'd assume most people don't want to double up?

  3. drughi
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane or son for the armband will be tough to decide

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

      Kane will be around 180% ownership in the top 10k, enough said

      1. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        What do you mean by this?

        Son (c) would mean you make up ground on top 10k in the case that Son gets more points than Kane.

        Yeah if Kane gets more points you would lose ground on top 10k.

        But I think it comes down to who you think will score more points, rather than who the top 10k is going to captain.

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

      I'm on Kane so Son is the right choice

    3. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not really. Got to be Kane if you own both

      1. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Why Kane if you own both?

        1. BenDavies
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I feel Kane is still more likely to be involved in any Spurs attacking return. Son is sometimes pushed very wide to the left. I own both and the armband is firmly on Kane. Granted Kane drops deep to collect balls but when they attack he is front and centre.

    4. SKENG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Penalties gotta swing it

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

    Kilman is heading into a bad run of fixtures Id rather spend my transfers on players with good fixtures. If in Jan he's still in the team at 4.3 - 4.5m he's still good value for the better fixtures.

    1. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      At least we'll know he's a guaranteed starter by then as well. Much rather spend the extra on Coufal

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That's what I've come to as well. Might have to resort to Balbuena at £4,4m though

  5. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Captain

    1 kane
    2 werner

    1. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Easily 1

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You've got to be joking. Werner is never a captain shout until he shows consistency.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      1 fo sho!

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

      1

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

    Best captain for todays games?
    Sterling?

  7. jakobwendler3
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA - Dallas - Coufal - KWP
    Son - Mane - Zaha
    Ings - Jimenez - Kane
    ________
    Fabri - Kilman - Barkley - Gordon

    If Ings is fit soon,

    Jimenez to Watkins this week and Son to KDB next?
    0.0 ITB

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

      I'm not sure on the Watkins pick.

      1. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Rather Antonio if fit or Wilson

        1. jakobwendler3
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I don't really trust the Newcastle goalscoring

  8. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    CL inquiry: Who do you reckon will score more points over the next two gameweeks?

    A) Ronaldo (Ferencvaros x2)
    B) Messi (Dynamo Kiev x2)
    C) Lewandowski (Salzburg x2)

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

  9. Totti
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    2 FT And 2.8 itb

    what to do with barnes and foden?

    A) keep
    B) sell one and leave one
    C) sell and to who?

    salah son foden barnes burke
    kane jimenez calvert

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

      A

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd keep Barnes as Lei have some good fixtures coming up and they're playing well. Foden I'd lose as those 1 point cameos are too annoying. When Aguero and Jesus are back he'll play even less.

  10. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I'm in a strange position where I want to play Charlie Taylor over TAA, but benching a 7.4m defender is ridiculous. So ideally I sell him, but I want 2 FT's over the int'l break. Might just bench TAA.

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

      I don't see why you would pick Taylor over TAA.

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Away to Brighton instead of away to Liverpool. Burnley know how to force a clean sheet against sides like Brighton.

        1. BenDavies
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          *away to city

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Clean sheet odds suggest C. Taylor has a 20% chance of a clean sheet, TAA has 16.7% chance of a clean sheet (both not adjusted for bookies margin).

      Hence I would be playing TAA due to much higher attacking potential

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

    What to do with the 2nd FT. Still have WC.

    1st transfer would be Robbo to Zouma leaves me with 2.2 itb

    A. Vassilev to Wilson/Bamford/Antonio (if fit)
    B. Save FT and keep the funds to bring in KDB/ Sterling in GW10.

    0.4itb 2ft
    Martinez
    Ayling Justin TAA Robbo
    Grealish Salah Son Rodriguez
    DCL Kane
    (Peacock Bissouma Taylor Vassilev)

    1. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A Wilson

  12. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Got 2FT... would you do Barnes > Grealish before price changes tonight?

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

      With Vardy back, I would keep Barnes

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No. Barnes is clearly still important to the team and Grealish had Arsenal next. I'd hold.

    3. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      no, keep barnes

  13. BigKeith
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    robbo and pulisic > chilwell and ziyech worth a -4?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I hate taking hits this early but yeah that could be justified

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

      If Pulisic is out then probably yes

  14. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I have 2FT and no idea what to do... a nice problem to have!

    Martinez, Forster
    Robertson, Chilwell, Dallas, Masuaku, Kilman
    Salah, Son, Hamez, Grealish, Soucek
    Kane, DCL, Maupay

    Original plan was Maupay -> Antonio but not sure whether he will be back. Hamez out is a possibility I guess...

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd consider Maupay to Wilson

  15. Bielsa Murderball
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guys, who are the best 2 forwards to own apart from kane?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Genuinely changes every week. Overall if Ings is fit I'd say Ings and Kane and then a budget striker

    2. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy always gets points

    3. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      thanks all 🙂

    4. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      DCL Vardy

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

      DCL Antonio best for value imo

    6. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      cheers all, i am interested in the best forwards irrespective of value 🙂

  16. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Robbo and Pulisic to Coufal and KDB for free? Would leave me with super cheap defence (Lamptey*, Ayling, KWP, Coufal, Kilman)

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

      The moves in isolation looks OK. I wouldn't be comfortable having that defence but they are most likely nailed.

  17. Saint Tim
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ryan
    Chilwell, KWP, Justin
    Salah, Son (C), Bruno, Rodriguez
    Werner (VC), Jimenez, Mitrovic
    Bench: Steer, Bissouma, Mitchell, Targett
    2 FTs and £0.4m ITB

    What moves are best? Help and advice greatly received!
    A) Ryan -> Leno or Mendy? (Has Ryan lost his place permanently?)
    B) Jimenez+Mitrovic -> DCL+Wilson
    C) Bissouma+Mitrovic -> Zaha/Grealish+Bamford/Watkins/Adams and then play 3-5-2 rather than 3-4-3

    Thanks!

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

      Definitely focus on getting a playing GK. Ryan seems to have lost his place.

    2. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A with mendy but how will you do with 1 transfer?

      1. Saint Tim
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I have 2 FTs...So Ryan -> Mendy and then probably one of:
        1) Rodriguez -> Zaha
        2) Rodrigues -> Grealish
        3) Jimenez -> DCL

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

    Is a midfield of Salah-Sterling-KDB an overkill?

    1. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      no, i had that at one point last season

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

      Nope

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

      Depends on your TV and how rest of the team looks.

      I'm considering a KDB/Sterling double up from GW10 but it does restrict choice elsewhere in your team.

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

        my TV is pretty poor but I'm still able to find a team I'm happy with with those 3 in it

    4. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      After owning Sterling for the last four GW's, watching likes of Grealish, Ward-Prowse and Zaha racking in the pointsI'd say a definite yes. Choose two of the three, and spend elsewhere.

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

        Grealish is a lock in my team for sure, looks dangerous in every thing he does. No other mid priced mids are that appealing to me though keeping fixture swings in mind for the likes of Zaha etc. JWP double free kick goal doesn't make me want to get him in either...

        City's fixtures are too hard to ignore so that's why I'm so tempted for the triple big hitters in midfield

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I'm tempted to but, I think I'll be going Dias/Laporte + Cancelo + KDB/Sterling. Then there's of course Agüero , can he get back to his best?

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

            Aguero could be a steal at 10m but I think it will take him a while to get settled again... don't know if he can hit peak form again that's the thing. We may see more of Jesus this season

            1. Pompel
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah, feeling Kane or Vardy probably safer in that range

    5. NETFLIX & CHILWELL
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think so.

      I'd get rid of Sterling for someone like Son.

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

        Don't plan on owning any Spurs from gw0 due to dreadful fixtures + EL

  19. nicecat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Maupay to Wilson should be a no brainer, right?

    1. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yes

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

      I would wait and see if Antonio is fit but Wilson is the next best option

  20. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If you had to play one, which:

    A) Kilman (lei)
    B) Mitchell (LEE)

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

      A

    2. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mitchell

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

      B

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

    Interesting how Liverpool will be on top of the fixture ticker for defence in 2 GWs from now, up until GW18...

    Think people will be swarming to bring back in a Pool defender in a few weeks

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

      Not really sure about that tbh, especially with those fixtures and current form.

      Doubling on Man city defense and Liverpool attack can work.

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

        Fixtures are great imo, especially defensively. Only Dias appeals to me from the City defence, wouldn't touch any others

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

          Cancelo is worth a shot even if he is playing 2 out of 3 games

          Just can't trust that Liverpool defense with so much randomness and their price.

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I'm definitely keeping Robertson. Plan is to set and forget Robbo, Chilwell and Dias.

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

        Yep thinking the same minus Chilly

      Emmanuel Oloche was the top scorer for October in the FFS Community Members mini-league, scoring 329 points in Gameweeks 4 to 7 without using any chips during that period.
      He began the month with an outstanding Gameweek 4, when he scored 136 points for a Gameweek rank of 33. Eight of his players that Gameweek (Son, Rodriguez, Wilson, Jorginho, Salah, Zouma, Bellerin and captain Kane) rewarded him with double-digit returns, but his other three all scored zero!

    Thoughts on this team gents with 2FTs?

    Martinez
    Robbo TAA Semedo
    Salah Grealish Son Podence
    Kane DCL Bamford

    4m - Lamptey Mitchell Reed

    1. aapoman

    2. drughi

      TAA and Podence > Chilwell and jrod if fit or ziyech

  24. aapoman

    Would you sacrifice your defence (Lamptey*, KWP, Ayling, Coufal, Kilman) to get this midfield / attack (Salah, KDB, Son, Grealish, Zaha; Kane, DCL, Brewster)?

    1. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That defence looks perfectly fine, or do u mean downgrade that?

      1. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        have that defence with that attack.

    Hey dudes and dudettes,

    I just can't seem to get anything going this season, my rank is c**p and I'm getting my a$$ handed to me in my mini leagues.

    Please can I politely request some opinions on my squad? I've got 1FT and don't fancy taking a hit. Thanks.

    McCarthy, 4.0
    TAA, RJames, Mitchell, Konsa, Justin
    Salah, son, st maximin, Barnes, Bissouma
    Kane, Jimi, Maupay

    1. The Polymath

      I'm not surprised with that line-up, There comes a time when you have to take hits to get out of a desperate situation.

      I would get rid of TAA and improve your defence. Get Chillwell/Zouma, Creswell etc
      ASM and Barnes are not going to get you out of the mess.
      Maupay has to go as well for Wilson or Bamford.

      Good luck.
