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;

      Not as good as I did before I found out only one of his 8 goals has been scored at home. He didn't even get an assist when they put 4 past Burnley 😐

      1. TheDragon

        Just use this to convince yourself it means he is due a haul at home

    10. Jaunty Jonty

      Best Cancelo replacement if you already have Chilwell? James or Dias?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Dias

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

        Cancelo

        1. Jaunty Jonty
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          ahaa I see what you did there.

      3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        James imo

    11. Flair

      NPxG this season:

      Patrick Bamford - 6.59

      Salah, Sterling & Fernandes combined - 6.47

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

        Wonder if that means he is sh*t or unlucky

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

          Sh!t but also with that many chances he'll still do well

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Nah, I like him. It’s not like he’s ballooning everything into the top tier. His time will come again for sure.

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

        His xg is on par with the goals (7) he's scored but he's missed 8 of his 10 big chances over the last 6 games.

      3. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        What is NPxG?

        1. Joey Tribbiani
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          non penalty expected goals

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Ok cheers. Are these xG xA stats useful?

            1. mookie
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              They are a good guide but nothing beats the eye test and a good judgement.

    12. AnfieldLad
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Defence is:
      Chilwell Cresswell Cancelo (Kilman, Ferguson)

      0ITB Would rather save FT but may not field 3 defenders..

      Would you
      A) Cancelo out
      B) Save
      C) Kilman or Ferguson out (could do Ferguson to N.Williams?)

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

        Save, no hits for defs

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

        Take the chance on Cancelo, then get Reece with 1 FT next GW

    13. Scratch
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Jimenez 25% chance of playing GW11 according to FPL? Did they miss the part where he has a fractured skull

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

        They are probably going by Nuno's comments...

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

        Happened to me when I was about 20. Never played the piano again.

      3. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        If it looks bad they always put 25% until official news

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

        Ole played Rashford with a broken back...

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

        It will be a really happy day when he comes back. Come back soon Jimi

    14. mr messi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Thoughts on this wc team? Don’t really want to lose Grealish and Kane but you can’t have everyone.

      McCarthy
      Chilwell Dallas KWP Coufal N.Williams
      Salah Bruno KDB Jota Bissouma
      DCL Vardy Bamford

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

        NWilliams could end up being just a waste of a spot. Midfield looks ace.

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

        Can you delay this WC by one GW?

        If you haven't pushed the button already, that is. Vardy is taking up funds that you'll surely want to spread with a GW12 wildcard, and DCL can proooobably go then too, to attack the fixtures elsewhere

        Grealish and Kane both have good games

        1. mr messi
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yes, haven’t pushed the button. Have only brought in Jota but would like KDB for this week. I have Ziyech who I suppose could get returns this week, has looked threatening.

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

        I personally don’t think I would keep Calvert Lewin on a WC

      4. Wrong Captain Again
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Why Dallas over Ayling? Dallas played attacking in the Arsenal game because they had a man down, I think he'll be CDM moving forward whilst Ayling looks like a monster with crazy assist potential.

        1. mr messi
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Don’t know, he seems to be the more popular pick

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

            I own both and think it's honestly 50-50. For the easier games coming up, Ayling may indeed be better.

          2. Wrong Captain Again
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            He's more popular because he is OOP in midfield, but wing backs are more likely to get attacking returns over CDMs.

    15. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A) Son to Mahrez for free
      B) Son/Kane to KDB / Jesus (-4)

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Kane & Grealish -> Bamford & Kdb an option?

      Should i just keep Podence? Decent enough to have as a 4th mid?

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

        I know they won yesterday but can't see Jim being out as good news for Wolves, he's scored 1/3 of their goals in last 2 years

      2. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I’m keeping but as a 5th mid, be on the bench mostly

    24. Smelbow
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Martinez (Steer)
      Chilwell Coufal Walker-Peters (Lamptey Mitchell)
      Salah Kdb Bruno Jota (Burke)
      Dcl Werner Wilson

      By jove, I think I've cracked it....

      Need City for the Fulham game. Which option looks better?

      A) Ziyech -> Mahrez(C)
      B) Ziyech + Grealish -> KDB(C) + 4.3 (-4)
      C) Ziyech + Grealish -> Sterling(C) + Bissouma (-4)
      D) Vardy -> Jesus(C)
      E) Vardy + Ziyech -> KDB + Brewster + 2.7 ITB (-4)
      F) Something else

      Martinez Steer
      Chilwell Zouma Cresswell Justin Ayling
      Salah Son Ziyech Grealish Jota
      Vardy DCL Bamford

      1FT 0.6ITB

      Thank you!

        E. Good chance to reshape team too.

          Could get Robbo or Trent in later on! Cheers.

      2. Dynamic Duos

        Can you do Ziyech and DCL to KDB and Brewster?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I could! But why would I get rid of DCL? He will keep scoring imo.

      3. luk46
        • 5 Years

        Ziyech + DCL > KDB + Brewster?

          See above mate

        Do you really need City when all the players you'd be selling have a fair chance of points?

        It's a personal choice based on risk tolerance but not a necessity.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          It's because of the armband. 'Upside chasing'.
          Quite happy with my team, so it's difficult.

    26. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Need some help here! With a budget of 8.4, my best replacement for Jimi got to be:

      A) Wilson
      B) Bamford
      C) Watkins

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Tricky one! I like Bamford.

        1. Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, loads of dilemma!

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

        Wait and see what is going on with Newcastle and Covid... If it doesn't look too bad, bring in Wilson I would say.

        1. Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks JBG!

      3. Arfaish
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Watkins if you have Grealish, if not then Bamford. Hit for Werner worth it if you can make it

        1. Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I do have Grealish. Doubling up on them? Werner will be great but I will need to sell 1 of Bruno/Sterling/Salah.

      4. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Depends on if Wilson has COVID.

        1. Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Right, maybe I will wait until towards the end of the week. Unless the price looks like it's gonna change!

          1. Amartey Partey
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, I'm doing the same. I have Bamford already, and deciding between Wilson and Watkins. If Watkins scores two goals or more today I will be bringing him in.

      5. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Danny Ings maybe?

        1. Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Is he match fit? Not sure about his playing time..

          1. fc_skrald
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            I think he will be right back in the starting 11. That is my Hope. I will wait for presser but he is my favorite for my free transfer.

    27. Arfaish

      Somehow ended up with £4m in the bank. Need one of Salah or KDB:

      Martinez, (£4m)
      Cancelo, Chilwell, Justin, (Lamptey, Mitchel)
      Bruno, Ziyech, Grealish, Son, Jota
      Vardy, DCL, (Brewster)

      A) Son > Salah/KDB
      B) Ziyech > Salah/KDB
      C) Something else?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Vardy has locked in at least 1 point provided he doesn’t get injured in the warm up.

      Captainers are up and running!

    31. Steve The Spud

      Loftus Cheek is bad news for Leicester's cs.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years

        More BPS for Vardy, excellent.

      2. WVA

        Haha he has been awful for years

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

          He has been injured. Hard to do well when an achilles injury keeps you out for 12 months. 🙄

        2. Gnu

        That was always confirmed, now I've doubled the score to 60.
