Frustrating Watkins shows promise as Grealish hauls despite Barkley absence

West Ham 2-1 Aston Villa

  • Goals: Angelo Ogbonna (£4.9m), Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m) | Jack Grealish (£7.7m)
  • Assists: Bowen, Saïd Benrahma (£6.0m) | Matty Cash (£5.0m)
  • Bonus points: Bowen x3, Grealish x3, Ogbonna x1

U WAT?

Owners of Ollie Watkins (£6.1m) were treated to a torturous Monday evening as the Aston Villa striker registered a zero-point score in Gameweek 10.

It was not for the lack of trying though, quite the opposite, as Dean Smith’s men were arguably the better side in their 2-1 defeat at West Ham. 

Watkins missed a second-half penalty, watched Trézéguet (£5.3m) spurn his square ball from close-range and had a goal ruled out for offside in stoppage time, which would have provided Matt Targett (£4.5m) with an assist.

The last of those incidents left the sourest taste in the mouth considering how close he was to being onside, as well as the fact that Angelo Ogbonna‘s (£4.9m) robust contact with the forward was a key factor in the position of his arm.

Following two blanks in a row, Watkins’ 9.8% ownership might be getting itchy fingers right now, with several factors at play.

The former Brentford forward has now missed three of his last five penalties, which could be enough to see Jack Grealish (£7.7m) step in and take the next one.

That said, a Gameweek 11 home fixture against Newcastle did initially feel like the wrong time to sell a player who was still unfortunate to blank on Monday night and will surely be fired up to put things to right as soon as possible. The Magpies have conceded in three of their last four away matches too.

But, in this exceptional season, the plot thickens further with news coming out of Newcastle’s training camp over the last 24 hours.

Steve Bruce’s club has been hit with a fresh wave of positive coronavirus (COVID-19) tests, four unnamed players and one member of staff contracting the disease in the latest round of testing.

That has seen the game postponed from its Friday-night slot. It might remain in Gameweek 11 but right now, things are very up in the air for Villa assets.

THE GREAL DEAL

There was more positive news for owners of Grealish who registered his third double-digit haul of the campaign thanks to his first-half goal and securing of maximum bonus points.

The big score was especially welcome considering the feared impact of Ross Barkley‘s (£5.9m) absence from the team after he sustained a hamstring injury in Gameweek 9.

Against Brighton, Villa were noticeably jarred by losing Barkley so soon into the match, his replacement Bertrand Traoré (£5.9m) lacking the same level of understanding with Grealish, whose output suffered accordingly.

It seems as if Traoré was turned to in the wake of Barkley’s injury as he was the closest way of replicating the shape and patterns Smith had prepared for that Brighton game.

However, as already mentioned, Villa were the better side at the London Stadium on Monday night as Smith had the time to prepare a different approach in midfield during the week. He selected the set-piece specialist Conor Hourihane (£6.0m) to play a deeper role and asking John McGinn (£5.5m) to fill in at number 10.

The former Plymouth Argyle and Barnsley midfielder cannot match Barkley for cut and thrust on the counter but his set-play delivery, the threat from direct free-kicks and an eye for a killer pass were important, while McGinn replicated some of the energy and dynamism we have seen in the number 10 role recently.

“Hourihane knows the league, he was with us last season, he knows what’s required of him. He’s an outstanding technician, very good with set play delivery but he’s got a great understanding of the players he’s playing with.” – Dean Smith

Knowing that Villa are not a lost cause without Barkley after all is encouraging news for those considering Grealish. That said, the all-action midfielder could potentially benefit from Villa’s postponement and miss fewer games accordingly.

HEY MICKY

Fantasy managers may have to wait a little while before Michail Antonio (£6.2m) is ready for serious consideration again.

The West Ham forward made his return to the team on Monday night starting as the lone centre-forward in David Moyes’ 3-4-2-1 formation, displacing last week’s match-winner Sebastien Haller (£6.1m).

“It is a big boost for us (to have Antonio starting again). It was a tough decision for us because Haller got a goal at the weekend but (Antonio) just gives us something different.” – David Moyes, speaking pre-match

However, a rusty Antonio offered very little in the opening 45 minutes, isolated from West Ham’s midfielders and struggling to keep pace with those around him. The Hammers resorted to lumping long balls forward, hoping Antonio could run onto them and hold play up. Unable to fulfil that role with much success, it made for a very flat opening period, despite Ogbonna’s early set-piece goal.

Therefore, Moyes chose to replace him at half-time, as well as Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m), Haller and Saïd Benrahma (£6.0m) adding more to West Ham’s cause after the break.

“We made a big call tonight but I think to play Michail Antonio was the right call. He’s just not quite fit 100 per cent. If Seb can keep his form up then it will be useful for us.” – David Moyes, speaking post-match

It only took a few moments for Benrahma to have an impact, as he played in a low cross for Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m) to head beyond Emiliano Martínez (£4.8m).

The signs remain very promising for the Algerian international considering that in just three substitute appearances since joining West Ham, he already has three assists.

With Villa pushing West Ham so much even in the second half, Benrahma operated as a left wing-back but what he has produced going forward is sure to trouble Pablo Fornals (£6.5m) for his starting spot on the left-hand side of attacking midfield soon.

“(Benrahma and Haller) came in and done quite well, I don’t agree the full game we played well, but I think that look we are introducing Saïd gently, there were signs there you could see why we are doing that.” – David Moyes

Meanwhile, Bowen registered a double-digit haul from his goal and assist, his first attacking returns since Gameweek 4. His services for the coming weeks are still worth considering though.

80% of the former Hull man’s goal involvements have come at home this season while Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Brighton are the next three to visit the London Stadium this season, combining for just one clean sheet on the road between them thus far.

West Ham United XI (3-4-2-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Balbuena; Masuaku (Benrahma 46′), Souček, Rice, Coufal; Fornals, Bowen (Noble 79′); Antonio (Haller 46′).

Aston Villa XI (4-3-3): Martínez; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Cash (El Mohamady 88′); Hourihane (B Traoré 74′), D Luiz, McGinn; Grealish, Watkins, Trézéguet (El Ghazi 73′).

    Just saw the news.. got Grealish, Martinez and Wilson in.. what to do? 100% bringing debruyne in, thinking an -8 hit may be in order.

    Kane + Ziyech + Michell —> Bamford + KDB and R.James.. good moves?

    Then will bench Wilson/Grealish (as I still want them for the foreseeable future) , play Kilman/James and leave Martinez in

    Rest of team:
    Martinez
    Chillwell / KWP / Dias
    Salah / Fernandes* / Ziyech* / Grealish*
    Kane* / DCL / Wilson

    Button, Kilman, Michell, Stephens

  2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How would this look for next gw, if I took a hit to get Mahrez in for Grealish as a punt? What do you think about that transfer?

    Mendy
    Chilwell, Justin, Cancelo
    KDB(c), Bruno, Mahrez, Ziyech, Jota
    Vardy, DCL

    Button, Coufal, Brewster, Targett

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bench Grealish and play a bench player, no need for a hit

    2. mrelpea
      • 7 Years

      Def not worth the hit

      2. Close between Bamf/Adams.
      Rodrigo coming back in may effect Bamf.
      Consider Welbeck too.

  6. Bielsa Murderball
    • 3 Years

    Probability of neco williams and mahrez starting next match?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That is a calculus that can only burn you. Just get players that play, what's wrong with that?

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

        Why would Mahrez not play?

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

        I would be only able to field 10 players including anguissa...so considering a grealish -> mahrez and then to jota in gw12

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

          jota or grealish in gw12*

          1. SmasherLagru

            Dont get rid of jack

  7. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    WC attempt.
    Grealish + ______ in for Jesus/Adams + Raphina/Jota in a couple of GW's then maybe.

    Putting faith in the holy trinity + Jesus + plenty of upgrades elsewhere.
    Means giving up on (for now)- Son, Kane, DCL.

    Forster, McCarthy,
    Dias, Dallas, Chilwell, Webster, Mitchell.
    Raphina, Jota, Salah, KDB, Bruno.
    Jesus, Bamford, Adams.
    0.0m ITB.

  8. borispkpk
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which combo is better? why
    a. Mahrez + Bruno
    b. KDB + Jota

    1. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bruno looking more important than KDB now so perhaps A.
      Think I prefer Jota over Mahrez tho.

      1. borispkpk
        • 7 Years

        Thanks!

        But i concern about ManC fixture, if i go without any ManC player

      He will be fit for Wolve

  10. _Gunner

    Vardy + Martinez > Jesus + Ederson (-4)

    Yes or No?

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

      Not sure Ederson is good value long term

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years

      no

    3. The Knights Template

    4. mrelpea
      • 7 Years

      Jesus yes, not sure about ederson with McCarthy etc around. Could you upgrade one of your defenders to a city one instead?

      1. SmasherLagru

      West Bromwich Awful

  12. mrelpea
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Cancelo owners, what are your thoughts on keeping him, now that he played last night? Do you think he starts against Fulham and more longer term, does he start regularly? Or will Mendy be back?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping. No idea on starts but got a back up so all good

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Was all set to transfer out with Mitchell and Dunne at the back for me too) I think third time this year only two playing defenders.... then AV, NEW news happened and I’ve Martinez Grealish and Watkins... no Wildcard

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

      He’s gone, bench is thin enough as it is, don’t need an added headache. He will get the Foden treatment it seems now

    4. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Im keeping. Mendy played CL and then PL. who’s to say Cancelo wont play CL a d PL. it’s pep, its 100% possible Cancelo starts weekend.

    5. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dumped this week as I just get fed up with pep roulette. Also, Mendy scored well on Saturday

    6. mrelpea
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers guys, confirmed what I feared: he’s on the roulette table. Too risky to have a 5.5m maybe on the bench so will swap him in for Dias. Less assists, chances etc but arguably one of their first choice centre halves and potential for fair amount of clean sheets with those fixtures

        1. mrelpea
          • 7 Years

          Sweet!! The KDB move, if ever there was a move that warranted the -4, it’s that one!

      Yep looks good provided Zaha plays. If you can field 11 then you'll have a small advantage from the off.

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        think Zaha will play and score

    Jesus has the fixtures, is a great differential and will get plenty of opportunities you feel while Vardy is far more clinical, on pens and he will welcome back some injured teammates.

    1. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years

      Vardy

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Think on a wc i would have Bamford/ Watkins/ DCL up front. Too many options in midfield. From those 2, Vardy

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

      Neither ideal but Jesus

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you rather have this GW:

    A) Son (ARS)
    B) Werner (LEE)

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

      Werner by light years. That Leeds game is absolutely perfect for him. Jealous of owners.

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

      Werner easily

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

      Def Son, he ll murder that shambolic arsenal defence!

    5. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      b

    6. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A for me

    Morning,

    Was all set to bank a transfer this week but have ended up taking a hit due to the game being called off.

    Still only able to play 10, but hopefully will do ok. What do you think?

    Martinez*
    Chilwell - Cresswell - Lamptey - Dallas
    KDB - Mahrez - Fernandes - Jota
    Vardy - DCL

    Steeer* / Mitchell - Grealish* - Wilson*

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Looks OK to me

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

      Looks great for just 10 - Martinez has had three GWs recently where he scored one point or fewer so a guaranteed blank isn’t much worse

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

      Thanks both

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

    Have 1 FT. Thinking of saving it, going keeperless and playing this team with Sterling C. Need the transfer and cash to help me get Salah in 12. Right call?

    Martinez
    James Lamptey Coufal
    Serling (C) Bruno Son Ziyech
    Vardy DCL Bamford

    Steere Podence Dallas Mitchell

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

      Yes - Definitely save.

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

    Burnley, West Brom and Palace in the next 4 for Villa, will happily bench them this week as I refuse to miss out on those juicy fixtures.

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

      ...Or the double DGW in the new year.

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

        Good point, 2 double GWs actually

  26. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    benching Grealish I guess, just one GW not playing? 1 FT and 0.4 ITB.. Also play Dallas or Soucek?

    Ryan
    Lamptey Robbo Chillwell Dallas?
    Ziyech Rash KDB Soucek?
    Bam DCL Kane

    Button Dallas/Soucek Ferguson Grealish

  27. Miguel Sanchez

    Man City Fulham score predictions?

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

      4-1 City.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      3-1

    3. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      3-0

    4. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      City to win 5-0

    5. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      1-2 like Leicester

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

      5-0

    7. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      5 or 6 1

    8. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      3-0 City...

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

      3-0

  28. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I have to play anguissa or Semado... surely it’s better to play the mid because if both teams get destroyed the mid will still get a 2 pointer not a 1 or a 0? I also see Semado providing nothing going forward especially if they go to 4-4-2

    Might be a stupid question!

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

      Semedo for me

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

      Call me crazy but I think Fulham will have a few chances too. Now they’ve ditched Mitrovic they look good up front. You could get an attacking return.

  29. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    5-0 City

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years

      Oops reply fail

  30. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Anyone see Heaton regaining his place. We are talking when fit a guy who was challenging Pickford. Martinez has been fairly blameless but they are still leaking goals and Heaton might be a better organiser

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

      Very possible but not yet

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

        As a Steer owner as well its just another reason to upgrade Steer for me, just in case

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

          Probably wouldn’t do that, then if Martinez does get dropped you’ve just wasted 2 transfers on GKs. I’d just wait and see if it happens down the line

            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Im looking at McCarthy Martinez good rotation and freeing up a Villa attack spot though. No hit involved im covered this week
