Moving Target

Can Robert Snodgrass’ set pieces turn him into a viable FPL asset for West Brom?

Robert Snodgrass (£5.7m) became Sam Allardyce’s first signing as West Bromwich Albion manager last week, signing on an 18-month deal.

Will he help transform his new team’s fortunes and become a viable Fantasy Premier League asset in the process?

We’ve run the rule over the former Norwich City and Hull man to find out.

The midfielder had been largely frozen out of the team at West Ham this season, making four substitute appearances in the Premier League for a grand total of four minutes.

Snodgrass, 33, had been an important part of the Hammers’ side before struggling with a back disk injury, which kept him out of the second half of last season.

The former Scotland international is expected to go straight into the team at the Hawthorns, giving the Baggies some much needed Premier League experience.

“I’m absolutely delighted he has chosen to take up the challenge with us. He’ll add Premier League experience and quality to our side.”

Sam Allardyce

There’s currently no sign of Fantasy Premier League managers being tempted to bring Snodgrass in ahead of Double Gameweek 19, but should he be considered?

VETERAN

Allardyce made a name for himself at Bolton for taking experienced players thought to be over the hill and bringing out some of the best football of their careers.

The careers of Jay-Jay Okocha, Fernando Hierro and Gary Speed all experienced and Indian Summer thanks to their time at The Reebok.

And Allardyce is clearly hoping to get the same from Snodgrass, comparing him to Premier League legend Speed.

“He might be getting on but in his mind he still thinks he’s 20. Snodgrass runs all day, he’s got great quality and a huge amount of experience. He never gives up. Hopefully that will rub off on some of these players who will look at him and say, ‘My word’. Lifting the spirits and lifting the standards is very important at a professional football club. It’s even more important at a Premier League club.”

Sam Allardyce

Despite Allardyce’s comments, Snodgrass’ FPL returns have not dropped considerably as he has entered his mid 30s.

Last season he delivered a decent 10 goal contributions, scoring five goals and chipping in with five assists.

Despite playing fewer minutes, that was actually an improvement on the season before, suggesting Snodgrass could still have plenty to offer at Premier League level.

SWEET LEFT FOOT

Big Sam was keen to highlight Snodgrass’ left foot and how it would bring balance to his side, hinting at a role down the left hand side of midfield.

“He’s left-footed. We all look for balance. When you get the right balance in the team with left-footed players, they can really produce for you down that left side. I’ve heard from many, many people that he is exceptional in the dressing room which is a great bonus on top of his abilities.”

Sam Allardyce

West Brom’s two most effective attacking players of last season, Matheus Pereira (£5.6m) and Grady Diangana (£5.1m), who are both left footed, have struggled to replicate the form they showed in the Championship.

(Pereira left, Diangana right)

Allardyce even singled out Pereira for criticism, asking for more from the West Brom playmaker.

“It’s very simple. This is the Premier League and he needs to do it (play) quickly – much quicker than he did in the Championship. Then he will show his very skilful qualities. But if he chooses to do it at his pace in the Premier League, then he will not be successful.”

Sam Allardyce

Reading into these quotes, it is telling Allardyce has only started Pereira once in the Premier League since arriving at the Hawthorns.

And he appears to be equally unimpressed with Diangana, hauling him off at half-time in their 4-0 thrashing by Arsenal.

In the case of Snodgrass, it could be that Big Sam is looking for the midfielder to offer a greater balance in the middle of the park, with most of West Brom’s centre midfielders predominantly being right footers.

He would also add some much needed creativity, where other than Conor Gallagher (£5.5m), they are severely lacking.

But with both Pereira and Diangana struggling this season, it could be that Snodgrass finds himself playing out on the left flank.

SET PIECES

Throughout his career, Snodgrass has offered huge threat from set pieces, particularly from corners, as shown in his best 2016/2017 season.

With Allardyce setting up the Baggies in a defensive formation, they will need to make the most of set pieces if they are to pull off a miraculous survival.

Sam Inkersole, who covered West Ham for Football.London during Snodgrass’ spell, outlined the Scot’s quality delivery and what else he could bring to his new team.

“His qualities were obvious. Set piece delivery was impressive and vastly improved from what the Hammers had previously and simply, his work rate. Too many West Ham players that season (when he arrived) were passengers so it was no surprise they struggled.”

Sam Inkersole

Set pieces have already played a big part of the West Brom attack since Allardyce joined.

A towering header from Semi Ajayi (£4.8m) gave the Baggies an unlikely point against champions Liverpool.

And the big centre half netted again in the FA Cup against Blackpool, before they lost on penalties.

With a 6ft 3ins defender who can aggressively attack a ball in the other team’s penalty area, Snodgrass’ quality set piece deliveries may well find their target more often than not.

Should the pair be able to strike up a good understanding, then they could both turn into assets worth having in the second half of the season.

THE PROSPECTS

In a system that will suit his style of play, Robert Snodgrass could well deliver some good FPL returns for his new club.

His assist potential could also be bolstered by a new striker, one Allardyce is actively searching for.

“I am looking for a frontman, hopefully he’ll be coming through the door as quickly as possible. That’ll be from abroad, rather than from this country.”

Sam Allardyce

However, the main issue with bringing him into our teams is his price point.

Still priced up at £5.7m, he finds himself in the same bracket as former teammate Tomas Soucek (£5.3m), who has delivered consistent returns all season, and Raphinha (£5.5m), the dynamic Leeds winger who is starting to deliver goals and assists.

West Brom also face a torrid run of games in the next few weeks.

In their next seven the Baggies will face off against Manchester City, Manchester United, Spurs and Wolves, with returns looking few and far between.

Kinder fixtures against Fulham and Sheffield United in Gameweeks 21 and 22 will give us a realistic idea about what to expect from their attack.

Ultimately, Snodgrass appears to be priced just a bit too highly to be considered for a budget midfielder role.

But those looking for a punt on a differential midfielder, with the Scot currently sitting at 0.1% ownership, could be hugely rewarded when fixtures turn in Gameweek 25.

    5. Pompel

    6. Atimis
      • 7 Years

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

      Tough one, I don't think Son will get much joy against SHU 5ATB. Wilson's fixtures against Arsenal and Villa are tough as well. Prob go with the DGW player Wilson

  2. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I have Wilson and Watkins. In view.of the possibility of Newcastle villa rescheduled for gw19 shall I

    A keep both

        Villa Everton moved out

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            It's very tempting with those fixtures, can't go any worse than Mane last season!

    4. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have the same SGW players and i’m holding them. No other options worth the -4 imo.

  4. FPL Bargain
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I'm down to a DGW players and this bench

    Mccarthy, Lowton DGW, Raphinia, Adams.

    Would you BB or abort?

    1. Big Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd abort if still had WC left

      1. FPL Bargain
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, thanks. Hopefully COVID and last min rearrangements will have calmed down later in season and yes I can use a wildcard then.

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

    Team for DGW. Does it look alright? 3 SGWers who are not leaving my team anytime soon. Any captain suggestions?

    Martinez
    James Stones Coufal
    Salah KDB Bruno Soucek Son
    Vardy Bamford

    Steere Holding Mitchell Davis

    1. Big Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Excellent team imo. I'd captain KDB there

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

        Ok. I am on him too at the moment. Thank you!

    2. FPL Bargain
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, good. If James misses games Holding comes in. Worth the gamble of starting James, like it. KDB cpt.

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

        I hope James gets 90 and 60. Has been training. If not, Holding vs Newcastle should be ok. Thanks a lot!

    3. boogle
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What is the latest with James? I have him too and not sure what to do!

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

        He has been training and should be fit to play on Saturday. Lampard needs him on that right flank to restart the magic with Ziyech. I think he comes straight in vs Fulham. Second game in the DGW would depend on how he holds up.

        1. boogle
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Interesting, thanks for that. Nice team, think I'm going Salah captain (maybe even triple)!

  6. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    1FT, 0.7 ITB,

    Martinez, Johnstone

    Roberston, Dias, Coufal, Dallas, Mitchell

    Salah, Fernandes, Son, Raphinha, Anguissa

    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    Would you just do DCL to Antoniono / other DGW forward or get rid of Raphinha too to get another DGW player?

  7. Big Hippo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Get the feeling Grealish will go from DGW to 1 game away at City to DGW again to 1 game away at City when he gets booked. Don't do it to us Jack

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Haha this

  8. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Worth bringing in Antonio for a hit? It would mean benching Bamford.

    1. Big Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No. I'm not 100% sure he plays both and fancy Bamford vs Brighton

  9. Party time
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A) Fabianski, Dias
      B) Ederson, Ogbonna

      Which do you prefer?

      Thanks

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        A

        1. Party time

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

        Thinking about Stephens to Foden and using TC that GW instead of BB?

        Would have team below:

        Martinez
        Justin/Cancelo/Robo/Coufal
        Soucek/Bruno/Son/Salah/Foden
        Vardy

        Martin/Bamford/Dallas/Adams

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          TC who? I wouldn't TC anyone right now

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            So can go without any chip, probably don't see a point to BB either

            1. WVA
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Yep

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

          I had to abandon BB to as 3 leeds and 2 southampton. TC Foden? mines on kdb at the minute so not totally crazy when you think about the positions they play. I'm bringing in Foden after my success with him on FH. Salah second choice for me. i don't love bruno's fixtures this week. Good looking team.

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks mate, good luck! Foden my only easy way into City's team

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

        Could use some advice here.

        Meslier
        Justin - Dallas - Cresswell
        Salah - Rashford - Son - Fernandez
        Bamford - DCL - Wilson

        McCarthy- DCL* - KWP - Oriol Romeu*

        1 FT
        0.2 ITB

        DCL + Oriol > Soucek + Antonio(-4) ?? Best possible option?

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

        Is Balbuena to Shaw(4YC)/ Dawson /4.8def for a hit worth using the BB chip?

        0FT 0.5itb
        Martinez
        Coufal Cancelo Stones
        Bruno KDB Soucek Salah Raphinha*
        Bamford Kane*
        (Johnstone Rodrigo* Holding* Balbuena**)

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

        I only have 6 DGWers but have FH and WC left, what would you do?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          1FT gets you 7, 1 hit gets you 8

          1. Andrew
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Sorry make that 4 DGWers didnt realise Leeds v Soton was postponed

        2. Black Knights
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Take a hit for 8 if you don't like your SGWers.

          I'm on 6 DGWers but 2 are villa.
          3 spurs v sheff
          2 leeds v brighton
          2 arsenal v newcastle

          but i may do 2FTs for -4 to spice it up when we know what's going on.

        3. OptimusBlack
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          FH

      6. LC1
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Really struggling now that Leeds / Soton and Villa are all due to be off. Leaves me with only 4 DGWers !

        Here is my team;

        Martinez
        TAA** Coufal** Dallas
        Salah** Bruno** Son Grealish
        Bamford DCL Adams

        Steer James Mitchell Missouma

        2.1 ITB 1 FT.

        I was planning on;
        Adams, DCL, TAA > Vardy, Antonio and Cancelo.

        Also tempted to bring in Stones or Dias for James.

        Happy to take a few hits in all honesty as long as it leaves my team in good shape for the upcoming fixtures.

        Any feedback is really appreciated!

        Thank you

          I like Gundo + KDB for the double a lot.

            Guessing this was a reply to me?

              "Maybe one day" sounds more like IB injury to me

          very annoying I started the week with 0 city. used my free to transfer mane to kdb (own salah to). Will also -4 to swap a cheap defender for Stones. Makes sense with extra better games. Then really want to continue with Foden after FH so likely -8 to get him in for Grealish. Was told last night there is a chance Villa get to play Newcastle now later next week (so might still have a double) so will hold off on that til we hear more.

            Yeah, best hold off on all transfers until before the deadline. Can get KDB and Stones for a -8 but it involves getting rid of Grealish + Chilwell. Still undecided.

          b) Holding

          Was obviously going for Raph but unsure without dgw

          BB out the window.

          I'm doing DCL to Antonio. Is it worth doing either of the following:

          A. Son to Mahrez (-4)
          B. Son and (James) to KDB and (4.5) -8

              Liverpool need to win league games. Who can replace Salah? Jota still injured?

          It's a mistake to jump back on the Foden bandwagon isn't it?

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

            Nope, I like the upside of KDB, Foden and City def rather than KDB and 2 Def

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I don't think it is. And even if it doesn't work, you can switch back to Raphinha for Leeds' likely DGW vs Southampton in GW23.

            1. Black Knights
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Did you punt on Foden in the end?

            2. SHOOTER MCGINN
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Good point. These City fixtures are too good not to triple up in some way. Foden seems exciting but a defender is the safer pick.

          3. kennethrhcp
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Probably but those 2 fixtures and his price are good

          4. Party time
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Lookman & double City defence + Kdb

            • Flair
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Feel like Sterling + Jesus back will reduce his minutes though they will still be better than they were before. I think Gundo is a safe and great punt

              1. Gudjohnsen
                • 7 Years

                Never again.

                It is now a matter of principle for me.

              I don't think so, he's performing better than the other wingers at city now, and very happy with him last night in my FH team! Problem is space in my Team. Rumours of Grealish now getting to play Newcastle in DGW on here last night from Ben C. Was going to take a hit to get Foden in last night before the price rise until i heard that.

                • 8 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                Ah right wasn't aware of that either. In which case same issue of space here, it'll be KDB or Foden if I keep Grealish. Not sure I can go without KDB.

              I like it - 2DGW players with good upside. Gamble on Antonios fitness

              • 7 Years

              Yes from me.

              I would do it in a heartbeat but I'm a million short of doing it so I need a 5.3 forward. Slim pickings there.

            Mane to KDB(TC) for a hit?
            Would probably TC Salah instead if I dont bring KDB in.
            Are you sure ManCity plays with Aston Villa this week?
            Probably this is the only hit I will take, just DCL to Antonio for free and can field 10 DGW players.

                I'm considering going without, but have to disagree with this. If he'd taken then pen or Sterling hadn't f**ked it up, that's two returns. He also had a good chance himself and played an absolutely beauty across the 6-yard box for a sleepy Mahrez.

            Now only have 4 DGWers with Leeds v Soton postponed and 1 of those 4 is Grealish who will probably only have 1 game now so should I FH or WC?

              • 5 Years

              Depends how your team is set up for GWs after 19 when considering WC

            Vardy aside strikers with a double looking a bit limited?

            To bench boost I need to downgrade Kane so I can upgrade Brewster but just can't see an obvious option?

            1. Flair
              • 3 Years

            Who to bench?

            1. Dallas v BHA (H) + 4 points
            2. Holding v NEW (H) + 4 points
            3. Coufal v BUR, WBA (H)

            Salah** Son Bruno** Soucek**
            Bamford Adams Kane

            Son --> KDB (TC) is the move but I need a -4 to make it happen as 0.2m short.

            A) Kane --> Vardy
