Scout Notes

Werner, Son and Kane kept quiet as FPL’s two best defences impress again

Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Bonus Points: Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) x3, Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) x2, Reece James (£5.1m) x1

If Premier League title crusades are built on the foundations of a rock-solid defence, then the dark horses of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur underscored their credentials in a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Owners of the attacking assets on show were forced to swallow rare blanks as the two backlines came out on top in a match that had little goalmouth action but plenty to dissect.

Frank Lampard summarised the game and the tentative approaches of the two managers perfectly:

It’s difficult to play against Tottenham when they defend in a low, central block. You have to try and go round them, and it’s not easy whilst making sure you don’t allow counter-attacking transition.

SITTING ON DEFENCE

Of the eight Gameweek 10 fixtures to be contested so far, this one had the fewest number of efforts on target (four) and the lowest expected goals (xG) total.

Edouard Mendy (£5.1m) was only extended once by a Serge Aurier (£5.2m) shot, while Hugo Lloris (£5.6m) collected maximum bonus points with the minimum of fuss, with just one of his three saves, from a long-distance Mason Mount (£6.8m) effort, causing him much concern.

Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) failed to register a shot in the box between them, while Timo Werner‘s (£9.5m) only chance of note was flagged for offside.

But rather than bemoan the blanks of the attackers, let’s celebrate the achievements of the respective backlines.

They are, quite simply, the two best defences in the Premier League on current form: Chelsea with the most clean sheets (five), Spurs with the fewest goals conceded (nine).

The improvements on last season, when both defences were ropey to say the least, is marked.

For Chelsea, it’s been about savvy investment in defence, the acquisition of a competent goalkeeper and, latterly, the deployment of a system that gets the best out of N’Golo Kante (£4.9m).

As for Spurs, they too have benefitted from summer transfer activity in the form of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.9m) and Sergio Reguilon (£5.6m).

But 80% of their five-strong backline (including Lloris) in the win over Manchester City last weekend were here in 2019/20 and it’s perhaps more that we’re starting to see the fruits of Mourinho’s labour after 12 months in charge, with the ‘Special One’ renowned for his second-season achievements.

While the two clubs’ upcoming schedules are far from straightforward, who’d back against another three to four clean sheets apiece in December?

RODON HIS LUCK

The one change to Spurs’ starting XI this week saw Joe Rodon (£5.0m) come in for the injured Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) at centre-half.

A competent debut was almost marred by mistakes in either half and, as harsh as it sounds, there was little to suggest that the Belgian won’t make an immediate return alongside Eric Dier (£4.9m) when fit.

Mourinho said of Rodon’s full Premier League debut:

I’m very happy with Joe, very happy with the profile, and to be with my amazing coaching staff – Joao [Sacramento], Ledley [King], all these guys – coaching and teaching these guys, and working with Joe has been a pleasure.

I just feel sorry he can’t play in the Europa League because it would be a great level of experience for him, and I believe the biggest game he played before this one was Championship play-offs and a Wales national team match, so I’m very pleased that he could come here and for 90 minutes he made one mistake.

Dier made more mistakes than him, especially in ball possession, so I’m very happy with my team, very happy with my guys, very happy with this mentality – that we come to Stamford Bridge, we get a point, we are top of the league, and we are not happy.

REECE’S BPS

Ben Chilwell’s (£6.1m) superb run of FPL form continued, with the left-back picking up two bonus points to maintain his average of 8.0 points per match in a Chelsea shirt.

Reece James (£5.1m) also collected a bonus point, the fifth occasion that has happened in eight league starts for the young right-back.

No Fantasy defender has more bonus points than James (nine) this season.

KANE UNABLE

Given the nature of the fixtures of the last two Gameweeks, it’s perhaps no surprise that Spurs haven’t been the free-flowing attacking unit that we saw in September and October.

Kane and Son haven’t had a single shot in the box between them since before the November international break and the former was noticeably deep again at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The England striker’s underlying numbers had been dwindling slightly anyway (six shots in the six-yard box from Gameweeks 1-5, two thereafter), with perhaps the capitulation against West Ham marking a slight shift towards the conservative in Mourinho’s approach.

We weren’t expecting goal-fests from clashes with Manchester City and Chelsea and the acid test for the likes of Kane and Son will instead be in the next two Gameweeks, with Spurs up against two shot-shy sides that will no doubt prompt a different, front-foot approach from Mourinho and allow for a touch more expansive play.

Chelsea, similarly, will expect a far more open game against Leeds United next weekend, which should allow room for Werner and Hakim Ziyech (£8.3m), both of whom were stifled against Spurs.

Christian Pulisic (£8.2m) may be edging closer to a start in that match, having marked his return from injury with a 20-minute run-out against the Lilywhites on Sunday.


Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Mendy; James, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell; Kovavic, Kante, Mount; Ziyech (Havertz 83), Abraham (Giroud 79), Werner (Pulisic 74).

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Reguilon; Sissoko, Hojbjerg; Son Heung-min (Moura 90), Ndombele (Lo Celso 65), Bergwijn (Davies 89); Kane;

    Martinez Forster
    Robbo Dallas Justin Lamptey Kilman
    KDB Bruno Ziyech Barkley Bissouma
    Kane DCL Maupay

    Looking for some advice lads, planned on saving FT this week in order to have 2 for next GW and get Salah (C) in v Fulham.

    Now I have flags on Barkley & Maupay and frankly Maupay is stinking up my team long enough.

    Just get rid and take a hit next week or stay the course? Thoughts?

    1. Saka_me_sideways
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      In the same position.
      After a successful 8 point hit this week I’m thinking -4 to get Maupay out my team actually seems like a bargain.

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

        Ya i could do Maupay out for a hit but really dont know where to go with it. Could upgrade Barkley to Jota but then Maupay would have to become Brewster who is just bench fodder anyway. I might just go with what i have this week and then with 2 FT i could always do a downgrade somewhere to upgrade Maupay but would prob mean going without salah for Fulham.

        1. Saka_me_sideways
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah problem you have is bissouma is already bench fodder in your team so you’d be forced to play either him or Brewster every week!.. no ideal.
          Maybe Maupay > Watkins this week for free, then kane and Barkley > salah and someone next?

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

            Yup Kane downgrade seems to be the only way to fund Salah if i want to keep Bruno KDB. Saying that it might be worth ditching one for Salah when they face each other and Salah has Ful. Decisions Decisions.

            1. Saka_me_sideways
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Again, I was planning the same move of Bruno > Salah next week, but both Bruno and KDB look undroppable atm.
              Ditched Kane this week myself, he’s playing too deep for my liking and the early form/stats seem to be tailing off.
              Just my opinion though, good luck with whatever you go with.

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

                yes you too brother. No doubt we'll manage to screw it up somehow lol

    KDB to be rested against Fulham? It’s possible

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      They've already qualified in the CL so will be rested tomorrow.

        This. Pep will play the reserves in the CL, like Sterling and Foden

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Doubt it

      wha

    4. Big boy Bowen

      Wouldn’t put anything against Pep, anything plausible with the bald fraud

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

      possible, but they can't afford to drop points and he is fundamental to everything they do, especially with Silva gone.

    6. Heisenberg W. W.
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No chance.

      They need to gain momentum in the PL and get winning streak.

    Best move here? 3.8m ITB

    A Son -> KDB
    B Robbo/Podence -> Dallas/KDB
    C Ignore City and pray

    B means benching headache and prob no Salah for Fulham.

  11. NABIL - FPL otai

    Get Bamford or Watkins?

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Watkins I think

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

        Yeah PK duty and fixtures favour him

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

      Bamford if you have Grealish

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

        You think so? I really wouldn't mind doubling up

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Bamford. Considering Wilson?

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

        Why not Watkins?

        Can't reach for Callum if I want Salah next week

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Think it’s close between the 3

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

            Indeed, but bam bam is so wasteful and has no PK

      Foden to jota maybe?

        0itb, taking foden out for a hit doesn’t feel great with the fixture.

      I liked Salahs reaction to being subbed. He wants goals. I dont rate Wolves that much this season in the sense that it will be too difficult for him to score

      1. Brosstan

    Guys, what to do next with this slot? First thought was Bruno to Salah, but I wanna keep Bruno now. With the Cancelo I will at least watch the next Fulham game. Any tips? TY!

    1. arkom
      • 7 Years

      Ziyech seems to be the first to dropped.. has not convinced me.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Cancelo to Dias this week.

      Vardy & Ziyech to Salah & Wilson next week.

      1. arkom
        • 7 Years

      2. arkom

        Although on the other hand Cancelo to Dias is a little bit kneejerk in my opinion..

      Yes, but I’d get a cheaper striker and reinvest the spare change elsewhere.

      Monitor Cavani Instagram post first, and wait in case further action is taken

    Sold kane and son last week.
    I think its a good decision Spurs lacking creativity and they will fight for the CL spot and for the league.

      Might sell my GW1 pick Kane and not feeling happy about it 🙁

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

        He plays too depp and all his 3 big hauls came in matches that were not usual.
        West ham 3 goals
        Man utd 6
        soton 5

        doesn't happen every day

        I am happy i sold him

        Hold on, I thought he was a season keeper and essential? 😛

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

          Almost forgot, also fixture proof!

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Have to admit Kane isnt looking that good FPL wise and upcoming fixtures will be a lot of the same from Mou

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He will be the next firmino
        Mark my words

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

          Hes much better than Firmino and is still on pens

          1. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            He wont be as bad as bobby (fpl wise) but he wont be the essential that we all think

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          In FPL terms? Or do you mean in an actual football sense?

          1. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            fpl of course
            not as bad but getting there

      His first blank since GW1. 10 goals in 11 v next opponent.

    How's This WC Team?

    McCarthy
    Dallas James Targett KWP Kilman
    Salah Jota KDB Grealish Bruno
    DCL Wilson Watkins

    1. Reacher
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Defence light but attack all good

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

      double villa attack?
      Better get bamford or antonio

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

        +1

    3. puhd
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      True, maybe I go with Bamford

  24. Reacher
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Thought on this below

    Werner and Ziyech to Bamford and KDB

    Reasoning - Concerned about gametime for both of the above now Pulisic and Havertz are back fit

    Yeah or Nah?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Probably. Bamf still option round there?

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      it doesnt feel like the week to rip chelsea out your team, i feel the leeds game is a match up for chels attack and could prove fruitful

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

      yeah make sense
      I also will get rid of ziyech.
      mins will be reduced

  25. Van der Faart

    Roll FT?

    2m ITB

    Martinez/McCarthy
    Cresswell Chilwell Targett (Lamptey Kilman)
    Son Jota KDB Grealish (Riedwald)
    Kane DCL Adams

    1. Reacher
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah roll, nice team

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Play Lamptey instead of Targett.

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

    take the sterling benching on the chin, is it an easy save FT to then move with 2 frees to get Mo in next week

    McCarthy
    Dias Targett Chillwell
    Sterling KDB Grealish Ziyech
    DCL Bamford Vardy

    Forster Soucek Lewis Coufal

    To get Sterling to Mo i'll need two moves and a downgrade somewhere in the team, Ziyech to Jota, Vardy to Werner or Soucek to 4.4 fodder on my mind

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Stick it out. Extra FT worth more than anything you can do.

    Posted this on Twitter earlier, but for anyone not on there, It's my last day of Movember so am just doing the final push for donations
    Anything is appreciated, even just a £ to raise money for a good cause.

    The mo is leaving tomorrow but its legacy will live on...

    Looking to get into the Chelsea back line late, as per usual.

    a) James (exciting but rotation risk)
    b) Chilwell (stop being stubborn)
    c) Zouma (meh but consistent)

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      b

    2. Peter Ouch

      and b
      I have double chelsea defence and I love it

        • 9 Years

        Not jealous

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

      A. That price difference between him and Chilwell is significant and he's actually been beating Chilwell on BPs too. He got a really soft yellow card yesterday or he would get the 2 bonus. Not as much of a rotation risk as he appears while Chelsea continue being this good defensively.

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thinking A as missed the boat on other two
        Also James is swaying me as I was front and centre for his 14 pointer in GW1

    4. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

      A.

      20/21's TAA

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

        Well that's pushing it but yes he'll do well.

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

      A isn't rotation risk anymore i think. He's started last 5 games

    7. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 9 Years

      Thanks all. Think i'll be going A

  29. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    Gabby J over 5ppg so far, from very hard fixtures on paper (bar Burnley) Going under the radar. Fulham up next...

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

      Lots of appeal there for sure. Aguero looks like he's close to finished as a regular FPL asset. Will the next haul be Jesus's?

  30. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    All is salah essential GW12 even if means losing Bruno and DCL?! Cheers

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

      Bruno is more essential than Salah long term imo. But Salah will destroy non owners in GW12

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Ok cheers sounds like need to keep Bruno and look at another mid to transfer out either son, grealish , sterling/KDB, jota ??

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

      Probably not.
      Who would you get in for DCL?
      Who would you captain if no Salah?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers keeptrying , if don’t Get snd captain Salah it would be son, Kane or jota
