Scout Network

What plans are the Scout Network implementing for the rest of the season?

Gameweek 19 is a big milestone in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) calendar – the halfway point of the season. At this stage we as FPL managers have learned a lot about teams and players to target as well as those who make good bench and differential options.

We asked the Scout Network to share their reflections on the first half of the season and for their plans for the second half.

FPL Family

During pre season I recorded an FPL Family X video with Josh Bull, the 2019/20 FPL Champion. I have always considered myself to be a loyal FPL manager preferring to hold on to my players, as I’ve never really deployed upside chasing. During the video one of the things that Josh said to me was he maintained his premiums throughout his winning season, only moving them on in cases of injuries.

This struck a chord with me as it’s something that I have always thought I did, but this year it has been my focus. I have invested the majority of my money in Harry Kane (£11.2m), Son Heung-min (£9.7m), Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and they have consistently been there from about Gameweek 3 onwards. Holding these players through some difficult matches has resulted in some really positive hauls – especially for Son and Kane against the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal.

This season I have moved my peripheral players around, making key differential picks at the right times (e.g. Tomas Soucek (£5.3m), Michail Antonio (£6.3m), double Saints defence) and this has had a positive impact on my rank. I have come to terms with not owning some of the other premiums due to budget restrictions and I know that over the course of the season the points will likely even out – but I won’t have the stress and disappointment of missing hauls.

For the rest of the season I am planning to continue this strategy as it is working well so far. I decided to buck the trend and not play a chip in Gameweek 19 and therefore carry both my Triple Captain and Bench Boosts through to the second half of the season, alongside my second Wildcard. This will be important for covering any further blank Gameweeks and also means I can use my Triple Captain chip later on in the season to give me a boost, at a time when many other FPL managers will already have used their’s.

Stones produces season-high haul as City keep another clean sheet

I have managed to navigate both Gameweeks 18 and 19 without the use of a chip. There was always the sense that I may have missed out but somehow it feels more comfortable to hold on to all the chips at this stage. The season is literally only halfway through.

There have been more postponements, injuries and fixture changes than any other season in recent memory, so I feel somewhat vindicated to be a “chip scrooge” at this stage.

I have broadly followed three principles and will continue to do so until the COVID situation turns the corner in the UK (and the rest of the world)
• Never Captain and Vice-Captain players from the same team
• Keep a very strong bench
• Make transfers as late as possible to the deadline

I expect to slide down the Overall Rank for the next few weeks as teams around me use their Wildcard and other chips. I plan to use my Wildcard near Gameweeks 25 and 26 to build a fresh team for the run-in when I also expect fewer personnel changes and rotations to Premier League teams.

Vardy and Ings start in Sunday's early kick-offs

More than ever, the first part of this FPL season has been about adjusting our game. First, to the penalty fest of the few first gameweeks, then to the COVID related events. It has emphasized one part of the game that we, FPL Froggies like to frequently remind our listeners. Patience is key and don’t get carried away by your week-in week-out Overall Rank as big swings could happen and the season is 38 Gameweeks long. Be aware of the opportunities (Diogo Jota (£6.6m), John Stones (£5.1m), James Justin (£5.0m) etc..) but stick to your strategy and give time to your set and forget assets, they will come good. 

The halfway mark is also a relevant checkpoint to review our strategies. We headed into Gameweek 19 with overall rankings of 331,000 (Romain) and 231,000 (Benjamin) without having played any of our chips (bar the first Wildcard). Heading into Gameweek 18 without considering the Free Hit chip underlines our overall strategy, don’t bring more variance into a game that already suffers from it due to the context.

The small number of games in Gameweek 18 led us to think the risk of a Free Hit being spoiled by a late game cancellation and with the games not being very appealing, we held. This turned out to be a good call as Benjamin outscored the average (44 to 30) and Romain lost just five points to the average.

Although at the time of writing we still wait for the complete outcome of Double Gameweek 19 (for which neither of us have activated any chip), we feel in a good position to embark on the second part of the season with the luxury of having all of our chips available.

As soon as the context is (hopefully) ]better, we will switch to a more aggressive style. Until then, we will apply some of the new 2020-2021 special golden rules. One of them is very questionable but we both agree on it. Since the beginning of the season, we are not paying any attention to our team value. We are willing to wait until the last moments to do our transfers as we value the latest fitness/COVID news more than the price tags. This is also related to the bigger pool of players available in the last few years which brings more mid-priced opportunities during the season. Although budget is tight, we don’t feel as priced-out as we used to during the previous seasons. 

Until Gameweek 25 and a possible Wildcard, when we will have a better idea of the Blank Gameweeks and Double Gamweeks to come, we will be sticking to our minimise-the-variance strategy. We don’t see any major mistakes or weaknesses in our teams (we always like to look at our teams from weaknesses to strengths as we believe an FPL manager should always address his/her team’s weaknesses first). 

Then after Gameweek 25, we will loosen it up and bring the adrenaline in through our chip deployment. We have spent too much time behind the sofa. 

The time to jump on the chip usage is coming soon.

The FPL Experiment Podcast

Injury latest on De Bruyne as Gundogan emerges as Man City's best FPL attacker

Unpredictable is the word of the season. A word that has been dragged through the dirt in FPL circles. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just rely on a Liverpool clean sheet every week and casually stick the armband on Salah without a thought? Or does navigating the unpredictability make the game more interesting?

The problem is that just like real-life football coaches, FPL managers need to adapt. The ones who are stuck in their ways find themselves languishing, while the ones who evolve flourish. 

The aim of The FPL Experiment podcast is for three friends to manage a single team to finish in the top 50,000. It has been exciting to understand whether three heads are better than one in the most peculiar of seasons. We realised early on in the season that we needed to move quickly to adapt to the changing landscape. An expensively assembled defence was dead and Patrick Bamford was apparently a thing. We pulled the Wildcard trigger at the end of a disappointing 32 point Gameweek 4 that left us at a lowly 1.3m. It paid off instantly with an 84 point Gameweek 5 and we surged up the league edging towards our target of 50k. We jumped on the form players at the right time, with Emiliano Martinez (£5.1m), Jack Grealish (£7.7m), Bruno Fernandes and Mohamed Salah racking up the points.

In recent weeks though we’ve plateaued. Captaincy decisions have been a huge factor. Backing Salah while he’s blanked hurt our rank and deeper thinking around captaincy is a key area of focus for the second half of the campaign. 

We always planned to build a squad for Double Gameweek 19 knowing we’d Free Hit in Gameweek 18. This was running smoothly until COVID started impacting Premier League fixtures and played havoc with our carefully laid plans. We played Triple Captain on Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) in Gameweek 19 in an attempt to offset our squad filled with Leeds players – this hasn’t exactly paid off! 

Now a new evolution seems to be taking place. There’s great value to be found in defenders like John Stones and Aaron Cresswell (£5.4m). And James Maddison (£7.1m) looks irresistible. As we have seen this Double Gameweek, plan it right and you can see some monster points hauls. Unpredictability is not an excuse!

El Statto Stat Dashboard

This season has certainly thrown in a few added challenges hasn’t it. We’ve had last minute match cancellations and unknown positive COVID tests to deal with. I was caught out in Gameweek 19 after building for the Double Gameweek, having three players from Leeds and Southampton receive the late cancellation, then followed by the Illan Meslier (£4.7m) no show in his one game!

That said I think I have managed to navigate through Gameweek 18 and 19 well, and currently sit with a 500,000 rank rise from it. I’m now inside the top 500k with three chips to use in the second half of the season so I’m optimistic I can push on and continue to rise the ranks. Now we have a lot of data, I’ll be using my stats dashboard to help me review teams and players for potential transfers.

The challenge this season has been in midfield with the premium players. While as expected they are all scoring well, they have been inconsistent. Salah on a current run of five games with no returns being a classic example. I’ve actually kept faith with Kane up top at the expense of another premium midfielder and have been happy with his consistent, if not spectacular, return of points.

I feel the template is breaking a little now which is great. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m) is no longer a go-to cheap forward option for everyone (25% owned) and with forwards not scoring heavily it is good to see different formations and player selections among the community. My main lesson I’ll be using in the second half of the season is to leave transfers as late as possible to give you the best chance with further cancellations and positive tests. And also to be flexible, there will be a lot of doubles coming for some teams so jumping on and off these will hopefully enable rank rises as a result.

    Here we go.

  2. Tonyawesome69

    3 years, 2 months ago

    For this GW:
    A. Soucek - no shots in DGW and only scored when Antonio is out the team. Palace seem to concede against headed goals.

    B. Rodrigo - playing against a poor Newcastle but not sure on him as a FPL asset. Alway hooked off early as well.

    C. Kane (-4) - playing against a struggling Liverpool def and can easily get something in the game. Good long term pick as well. (transfer in for Vardy(

      B this week,

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

        Good game for Leeds assets but you think Rodrigo wil get anything?

      2. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Agree

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

          Why B?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Also thinking of bringing in Kane on a -4, cannot stand Wilson anymore and only had him two GW’s, Newc are shocking. I’m gonna say C

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

        Definitely a dilemma you have there. Newcastle and Wilson have been poor but up against a leaky Leeds defence. Can't see Newcastle creating much if Bruce stays so I would take the hit for Kane. Its a good long term move

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Are you going to do it?? This is my Transfer next week..

    Fabs
    Chill - Robbo - Dias - Stones
    KDB* - Salah - Bruno - Soucek
    Bam - Vardy*

    Fodder - Brewster - Dale Stephens - Fodder

    1FT, .5 ITB

    Best replacements for Vardy + KDB for a hit? I'm .2 short of Kane and Sterling

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Go big or go home
      Kane and Son

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

      Kane and Son or Antonio and Sterling (if you really want Sterling)

    3. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers both

      1. Drogba Legend

    Loving the FA cup results tonight.

    Releived that I’ll navigate BGW 29 easily without FH.

    Was pretty tensed earlier.

    Just need to nail my WC 25 BB 26 team now. Phew....

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years

      I dont understand. What results would have been bd for u?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Fulham beating burnley i suppose qas a good result

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

        2. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years

          This

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

        I think it would be teams going out that didn’t have an already outstanding fixture to fit into 26.

        So a SGW29 but no DGW26.

      3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He's just getting over exited as usual .

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Triple Everton and Leeds through 27 and 28 as well gl with that 😀

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Everton 26 - 29 - SOT,che,BUR,whm
        Leeds 26-29 - AVL, whm, CHE, ful

        Plus another DGW fixture.

        I’d be very happy to have 3 Leeds + 3 Everton for that

        1. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Also I can put 4 of them on the bench.

          Can just play 2.

    3. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, Leeds and Fulham could both still double in 26 as well.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly

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

    Net score of 127 points last two GWs ( 82 and 45) and still through in the cup

    Soooo Jammy

    1. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good for you man. Wasn’t so lucky myself. Got done last week by a guy guy who played FH by 4 pts

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Luck of the draw! Was up against a fh team myself in week 18 vs my 8 players

        Needed 7 points from mitchell on the final day vs arsenal. He scored 8!

        1. $hahriyar
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          F’ing hell. Good on you. Best of luck

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      GJ. I went through this week with seven points, 117-110 yaay.

  6. sneif4
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any advice appreciated for this week:
    A) Zaha to Gundogan
    B) Wilson to Antonio
    C) both (-4)

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A this week and B next week.

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

      Errr why would you ditch Wilf??

      1. sneif4
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wasn't sure if he was injured. Thought he missed the last game and not sure if he's back

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

      C - Both look good and the aggressive moves.

    4. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn’t get rid of zaha rn especially with options in mid shortage

  7. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Tony M to rip it up midweek after a rest. Great track record against Blades as well

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Possible ; also why Cavani is a trap.

      1. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Just played 2 x 90 in 4 days. Surely he won't start again

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          If Rashford has a knock, why would he be risked? Cavani is a CL player used to playing twice a week.

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            No spring chicken.

            1. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              He's no spring chicken and has been playing twice a week not being a spring chicken for most of his recent pro career.

              This is not a new thing where he's going to be incapable because he's now at United while ignoring the years of doing it at PSG.

    2. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m very tempted to get him

  8. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On WC, best keeper combo?

    Thinking Martinez and Forster, but Sanchez is tempting me at 4.4

    1. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would take areola

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez fits in whoever you're comboing with.

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

      Depends if you want to go cheap or a playing 2nd GK. Either Forster 4.0 or Areola/Johnstone at 4.5

    4. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martinez Forster is my conclusion for WC too

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes I think that’s probably what I am going with. Currently got Mendy but I think Martinez is a better long term pick

  9. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone looking at Tielemans? He blanked week in week for me last season, maybe it’s best to avoid, just thinking about Spot kicks in his locker as well

    1. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you’re just going for him cause he’ll be on penalties then no. Rather go fo Maddison now

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

      I don't think he provides any attacking potential except pens. I would rather go with Barnes over maddison and tielemans

  10. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Totally confused about the fixtures..
    Isn’t here any possibility of a double GW before GW25?

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

      Highly unlikely due to FACup 5th round (being played midweek) and CL and EL games returning

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

      Not anymore. There was a possibility of Leeds soton being arranged in 23 if Arsenal beat soton in the cup

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

        Also follow Ben Crellin for potential DGW and BGWs

    3. Chrisitis
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Villa-Spurs dgw23 if spurs lose tomorrow

  11. Henning
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Dias or Cancelo?
    already have stones

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

      Dias safe option. Cancelo the more exciting pick. I've Stones and Cancelo

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

      Cancelo all day long, higher ceiling

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias all day

  12. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I didn't even realize Liverpool plays United in FA Cup this weekend (facepalm). That would explain why was Salah rested.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah was rested to avoid wasting enevery on a cursed game

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

      That worked out well for klopp

  13. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shame that wasn’t a league game haha

    Bruno
    Salah
    Rashford

  14. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts?

    Robbo >

    A Shaw
    B Justin
    C Maguire

    Defence Dias, Stones, Coufal, Mitchell

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

      Shaw at 4.8 looks a great option. I would transfer him in if I didn't have any other fires to put out

    2. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What are looking to do with money in hand? Any immediate plans?

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Soucek > Pogba, Barnes, Maddison etc

        1. $hahriyar
          • 14 Years

    Been looking to ship TAA for weeks but other things keep coming up, like KDB injury now. Will shift KDB but wondering if TAA to City defender (currently have none) for a hit is worth it?

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

      Definitely yes with those 3 upcoming fixtures and a high CS probability. TAA and the defence are struggling and he isn't worth +7m

      TAA is done for the season, unless VVD comes back he's not got the freedom of the park.

    Who would you start out of:
    Konsa
    Dier
    Dallas

    Current team:
    Martinez
    Dias Cancelo Dallas
    Grealish Fernandes Sterling Salah Son
    Bamford Antonio

    Subs: Konsa, Dier, Brewster

    1. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tough between Konsa and Dallas. Can see Leeds conceding even against Newcastle so Konsa.

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

      Definitely not Dier. Double villa def could work but probably spread the risk and start Dallas against a poor Newcastle

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      Dallas

  20. REDMOND IN SANDALS

    bench Justin or Coufal

      Justin

    2. $hahriyar

      I would bench Justin. Coufal 18 pointer coming up anytime now

    3. Tonyawesome69

      Justin

  21. DIMITRIS

    What's the most sensible move out of these:
    A) Justin to Cancelo
    B) Bowen to Grealish
    C) Adams to Cavani ( I'm 02 short to get Martial )
    D) Bowen to Barnes / Maddison
    p.s. Any of these moves would require me to take -4 hit

    1. $hahriyar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m getting a strong feeling about cavani. For his price he should deliver accordingly.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      A - next 3 city fixture look great with high CS probability and Cancelo due a haul. Grealish on 4YCs is off-putting. Cavani is a decent punt but I wouldn't go there. Barnes over maddison for me.

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

        Well thank you very much for such great answer. I was myself leaning towards Cancelo and just needed some reassurance. I will get him for these tasty fixtures. Hoping for a haul. Fingers crossed. Cheers 🙂

    B KDB Holding -> Gundo Cancelo -4
    C Something else?

      I would hold it. Focus on captaincy
