Scout Notes

Wolves restrict heavily-backed Bamford as Meslier suffers freak own goal

Wolves 1-0 Leeds

  • Goals: None
  • Own goals: Illan Meslier (£4.7m)
  • Assists: Adama Traoré (£6.0m)
  • Bonus points: Rui Patrício x3 (£5.3m), Raphinha x2 (£5.4m), Nelson Semedo (£5.2m)

MESS-LIER

Owners of Illan Meslier (£4.7m) endured a cruel evening as Leeds opened Double Gameweek 25 with a trip to Wolves.

In a relatively cagey encounter, the Whites’ goalkeeper was slowly building an impressive score, registering five saves in the opening period.

However, a dreadful piece of bad luck robbed him of what could have been a solid start to Double Gameweek 25 in the 64th minute.

Adama Traoré (£6.0m) who had mostly been kept quiet by Leeds’ full-backs, found some space in the middle for a speculative shot that struck the crossbar and went into the net off Meslier.

Before the own goal, the shot-stopper was projected a 10-point haul courtesy of a clean sheet, one save point and three bonus. After it, Meslier was down to just one point.

While there could be more joy against Southampton, it is certainly a hard start to the round for his 5.8% ownership.

WHAM BAM

It was a similar narrative for Patrick Bamford (£6.9m) who did not enjoy the best of starts to Double Gameweek 25 either.

The striker may have been backed by 80% of the top 10k for the captaincy but he endured a quiet evening at Molineux.

Wolves three-man defence smothered him while the hosts’ wing-backs and central midfielders did a solid job of cutting off his supply lines too.

As a result, Bamford only had two real moments where he looked even close to scoring.

In the middle of the second half, he was left with the scraps of a Liam Cooper (£4.3m) rebound but could not get enough power on his header to trouble Rui Patrício (£5.3m).

And then in the final 10 minutes, after Tyler Roberts (£4.6m) had played him through, Bamford unleashed a rising finish across goal and beyond Patrício, only to see it ruled out for a tight offside.

RAPH WITH THE SMOOTH

Raphinha (£5.4m) owners were also subjected to a teasing performance, the mid-priced midfielder very unlucky not to come away with a clutch of attacking returns.

In the 19th minute, he found Cooper with a free-kick delivery from the right, the centre-back unable to get adequate purchase on the ball.

Just after the interval, Luke Ayling (£4.4m) crossed into Raphinha at the near-post only for Conor Coady (£4.8m) to make a timely block.

Then between the 62nd and 70th minute, the Brazilian midfielder watched Cooper spurn three separate opportunities from corners. 

Had they fallen to Pascal Struijk (£3.9m) or Bamford, perhaps it would have been a different story.

In the closing stages of stoppage time, Raphinha’s speculative ball forward was seized upon by substitute Hélder Costa (£5.0m) who snatched at the finish despite the space in front of him.

And seconds later, Raphinha’s near-post header was turned around the post by Patrício, ensuring a match that could have produced a big haul turned out to be his first blank (in terms of attacking returns) since Gameweek 19.

Still, his high number of key passes, compared with a swathe of off-target shots opened the door for Raphinha to claim two bonus points in his first Double Gameweek 25 outing.

LINE-UP LESSONS

With Wolves lining up as an unchanged team for the first time in the league since Gameweek 8, the more interesting formation at Molineux was Leeds’.

Having tried and largely failed to ask other members of his squad to fill in for Phillips this season, Bielsa went for a different approach entirely by not directly replacing him.

“It’s not the first time (Phillips) has been absent. We have played well without him. Of course, he’s a big player but we have to adapt.” – Marcelo Bielsa

Instead, the Leeds manager moved away from the usual 4-1-4-1 shape and opted for 4-4-1-1 instead.

Mateusz Klich (£5.2m) and Jamie Shackleton (£4.8m) played as traditional central midfielders on Friday night with the extra man not behind them, but in front of them instead.

Bielsa handed that role to Roberts who sat just behind Bamford and would have come away with an assist were it not for a VAR call.

With Klich and Shackleton in the middle, Stuart Dallas (£5.0m) was returned to the left-back position after a prolonged spell in midfield. Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) was the man to make way, appearing only as a second-half substitute.

Struijk’s pairing with Cooper at centre-back ensured Luke Ayling (£4.4m) returned to right-back.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-3): Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Semedo; A Traoré, W José, Neto.

Leeds United XI (4-4-1-1): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Struijk, Ayling; Harrison, Klich, Shackleton (Hernández), Raphinha; Roberts; Bamford.

      DCL drop, lovely, gives breathing space on my planned Bamford + Grealish to DCL + Barnes move next week

      DCL brace against Liverpool and highest GW score next week in the double. Very strange

      1. Cok3y5murf

        Not like you're biased either...

        1. IRBOX ⚽

          Everybody carries an inherent bias

  7. SpaceCadet

    Repost. Can get this team by doing Sterling Ings > son Kane -4. Would you still use WC or save it for later?

    Martinez

    1. FPL Theorist

      Save

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years

      In your case, save

    3. themaindanger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Save for GW31

  8. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    For next week:

    A) Kane, Werner, Anguissa / any other 4.5 with double
    B) Kane, Diagne, any mid 7.7 or under (Grealish, James, Mount, Barnes, Zaha [if fit] standout options)

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B with Barnes. Warner fixtures no good.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks! You think Barnes is best if I have Maddison already?

  9. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    That Grealish injury (if confirmed) has spoiled my BB. If I replace him with Son for a hit I'll be left with a bench of:

    Areola Dallas Raphinia Bamford

    Was planning on a WC in 31 and pumping a high TV in to my first 11 to save my season, so want to get BB out of the way.

    Is that bench still good enough to boost?

    Cheers.

    1. Steiger
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      For sure. I'm BB with the same bench but have Mendy instead of Areola. No better time to use it imo.

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I've got up to 5.1 to spend on a 2nd GK, exact money for Mendy. Would you choose him over Areola or Kepa too much of a risk? Or any other GK?

        1. Steiger
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Stick with Areola, especially if you haven't got your FH for 29.

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would that not have been your BB bench anyway regardless of Grealish? Or would you have done Raphinha to Son for the hit?

      Fwiw that bench is probably ok for the BB. Could get 20 pts which is about what I’d want from a BB

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

        It would have been Pope Targett Dunk Bamford with Barnes replacing Raph in the first 11.

    3. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks a good bench to me. Just getting it done for a clearer view looking forward can be good, too

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, that's the main reason I want to use it. I've got all chips and will hopefully be touching 109 TV by next week so the run-in will be critical for clawing back a semi-respectable rank.

    4. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What injury?

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Still looks ok, should get you about 10 points IMO

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. If Grealish & Cash out for Villa & Phillips back for Leeds, could hopefully be more.

  10. jia you
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I'm likely doubling up on Leicester mids as a differential next week, thoughts?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It will certainly be a differential!
      Not for me but could work out.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yeah, nothing to lose anyway, cheers

    2. Vlekz
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Good upside specially with grealish out(people will have one) I am going vardy + barnes

    3. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      When do we think the Aston Villa Everton March will be re scheduled for?!

    4. Bob_the_builder
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is GW 26 going to be the biggest DGW this season or can we expect something bigger around GW32 or 33? As it stands, I already have 10 players with DGWs and I can make it 11 too so does it still make sense to play FH?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        GW26 by far.

      2. Muscout
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        26 will be biggest by far

      3. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Totally. And there will be a lot of TCs and BBs used, along with multiple Captain options due to the fixtures (City, Spurs, Utd, Pool, even Leicester all viable for Captain)

      4. All about the galacticos
        • 9 Years

        11 DGW and Kane TC, done

    5. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would you BB this in 26?

      Sanchez Raphinha Vestergaard Struijk

      Struijk is far from guaranteed to play

      1. TorresMagic™

        Nah

        1. Boberella

          Thanks TM.

      3. All about the galacticos
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Nope. Not seen one decent BB team for GW26 cause people on WC have covered DGW25 players

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          How about this one?

          Pope Johnstone
          Robbo AWB Mee targett Stones
          Salah Bruno son Jorginho Gundi
          Bam Jesus Brewster

          It’s not great but I think it’s decent

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Brewster makes it one less player. Jesus may not play much if Aguero is fit.

      4. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Wait

    6. akhilrajau
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Martinez
      Digne, Maguire, Stones
      Bruno, Salah, Gundogan, Sterling, Raphina
      Bamford, Watkins
      bank: 1.7m, FT: 1
      Bench: Pope,Dallas, Adams, Coufal

      I have only TC. Thinking to take on gw 26 with Son/Kane

      A. Pope,Salah,Adams -> Sanchez,Son,Kane(-8)
      B. Pope, Sterling, Raphina, Adams -> Sanchez, Son, Smith Rowe, Kane (-12)
      C. Pope, Sterling, Maguire, Adams -> Sanchez, Son, Davies, Kane(-12)
      D. Any other

      A allows sterling for gw 26 and 27 or can move steeliy to kdb on 27 but miss salah

    7. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hate my team now, either a -8 minimum or WC on the cards.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Who do you want?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Spurs maybe, a better defence etc.

      2. All about the galacticos
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Kane TC for GW26, then limp through to GW30 WC?
        Ranks are tight, a -8 is like huge rank drop if it doesn't pay off

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Would like another DGW mid and forward at least.

          1. All about the galacticos
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            DCL(if fit) and I'm only looking at Barnes/Maddison/Siggy/Jorghino (totally uninspiring and so on-template).
            I feel like I'm part of a cult whenever talking up DCL, it's like blind faith same with Kane.

      3. money face bandwagon
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I will prefer to take a -8 as i am in a similar situation. Maybe tc kane

      4. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        If any of the -4's are for decent double gameweeks then if softens the amount of the hit, and especially if it enables an extra GW29 player. So depends on what the transfers are. WC likely to be useful for GW30 or 31 so keep that in mind

    8. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Do I need to wildcard this?
      Martinez Forster
      Dallas Mee Shaw Coufal Stones
      Son Grealish Bruno Gundogan Raphinha
      Kane Bamford Ings

      Have possibly 8/9 doublers. 1 free
      Could Tc Kane if not wildcarding.
      Please advise.

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No.

    9. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Any thoughts on WC?

      Martinez
      Dias, Shaw, Alonso
      Salah, Bruno, KDB, Son, Gundogan
      DCL, Bamford

      Fabri, White, Struijk, Brewster

      Alonso, KDB & Brewster can easily become Cancelo, Bissouma & Kane, but depends if I want to take a few risks or play it safe

    10. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Complete the XI for DGW 26:

      Sanchez
      Shaw Cancelo Dias
      Gundo Salah Bruno Son
      Watkins

      A) Kane + SGW Bamford
      B) Vardy + SGW Bamford
      C) Cavani + Barnes
      D) DCL + Barnes -4

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A probably but C looks fun!

        1. Alisson WondHaaland
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Thing is, I already own Cavani so its just a matter of whether I want to keep him.

      2. Mortal.Swinbat
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        D for me, A if you want to play it safe and hold rank

        1. Alisson WondHaaland
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Fair. Im tempted by D too, might hurt my GW 29 plans a bit too much though

          1. Mortal.Swinbat
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah that’s true, if you don’t have FH then having Kane & Bamford in 29 will help

      3. shiraz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A

    11. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL or Watkins?

      1. Mortal.Swinbat
        • 13 Years

        DCL, especially if Grealish is injured

        1. Ruinenlust
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I prefer DCL for DGW 26 but Watkins has a fixture in GW 29

      2. shiraz

        DCL

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

        DCL for 26, but Watkins also good if you need a 29 player

      Should i wc this team? Thanks

      Martinez Pope
      Cancelo Coufal Dallas Dias Mitchell
      Salah Raphinha Bruno Grealish Gundogan
      Antonio Bamford Kane

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

        Nope

    13. Pukki Blinders

      Lookman or Barnes?

      Benefit of Lookman is that it'll be one less transfer for gw29 as Fulham have a fixture

        Would you guys BB this in 26?

        Martinez Raphinha Reed(Fulham mid) strujik

        2 DGW + 2 SGW.
        (Already used my WC so probably the best keeper I will have on my bench all season)

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Nope

          1. Vlekz
              3 years, 1 month ago

              How many points is a normal target for BB?
              I can see these 4 getting 10-15 points.

          2. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Not for me. The fact Villa play Leeds doesn’t help and limits your ceiling

            1. Vlekz
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Ahh okay, I wasn't looking at it that way.
                I thought either Martinez or leeds might get points with raphinha almost involved in everything leeds do.
                But yeah your point makes more sense I guess. Thanks

            DCL has 13% EO in the top 10k... absolutely crazy differential for the DGW v Soton and WBA

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years

              Will be much higher next GW

              20% benched him.

              • 10 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Might take a hit for Bamford to him

              I benched but played Grealish... not sure how I feel

                Seriously considering it

          5. DrogsBallacks
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Ings, Bamford, Soucek > Kane, Watkins, Jorgi (-8) TC Kane?

            New Team:
            Martinez
            Cancelo Mee Shaw (Dallas Coufal)
            Sterling Gundo Bruno Salah (Jorgi)
            Kane Watkins Antonio)

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

              Drop Antonio instead.

              Keep Soucek, drop Dallas to BHA defender to enable the move

            Will Gundogan pley?

            1. Clintymints
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              He trained touch and go. maybe

            2. Alisson WondHaaland
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Hard to say, Pep implied he's fit but may not be risked. Technically Arsenal is a big game but considering the lead they have in the league he might be rested for the European fixture tbh

            any decent GW26 nonBB wild card drafts knocking around ? asking for a friend 🙂

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

              Martinez
              Dias, Cancelo, Ajayi
              Salah, Bruno, Barnes, Gundogan
              Kane, Dom, Watkins

            2. Alisson WondHaaland
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              If I could pick any XI:

              Martinez
              Cancelo Dias Shaw
              Son Bruno Salah Gundo Barnes
              Kane DCL

              Martinez
              Dias Digne Tete Dunk Shaw
              Salah Son Barnes Gundo Raph
              Kane DCL Watkins

              Leaves about 4M itb for Son to KDB in 27

              • 9 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              How about this?

              Martinez
              Cancelo, Periera, Digne,
              Salah, Fernandez, Gundo, Grealish, Barnes
              DCL, Kane (TC)

              Bench: Sanchez, Bamford, Dallas, Targett
              Has 7 GW29 players.

              If TV value low, drop Digne or Dallas to Strujk.

                • 9 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                sorry no TC as WC

            5. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              the problem with Cancelo & Dias is that they won’t play both games in both doubles

              Looking at Ederson & Konsa to cover City & Villa clean sheets, Digne needs to be in there too plus maybe a Spurs defender for the fixtures

              Kane & Son are as essential as you can get in 26 too imho

              1. All about the galacticos
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Indeed, if willing to stump up the funds Digne, Pereira, Regulon would be awesom for the 26.

            6. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              would it be crazy going without Salah or any Liverpool ?

              Ederson
              Konsa, Digne, Reguilon
              KDB, Gundogan, Bruno, Son
              Kane, DCL, Watkins

              Meslier, Smith-Rowe, Ayling, Lascelles

              Ings for Kane, but you'll have to make another transfer for the funds. Maybe Sterling out.

                • 10 Years

                Thinking Sterling > son as well. Thanks

            What would you do:

            A) Bamford > DCL (Free)
            B) Sterling > Salah (Free)
            C) A & B, plus Lowton > fodder for funds (-8)

            Thanks

            Are the fixtures from around GW30 - 35 all set at 3PM Saturday or are they subject to change when the TV schedule gets confirmed?

            My weekends will be very boring if all matches are gonna be played at once 🙁
