Scout Notes

Can FPL managers still trust Brighton defence after derby debacle?

Brighton 1-2 Crystal Palace

  • Goals: Joël Veltman (£4.3m) | Jean Philippe-Mateta (£5.8m), Christian Benteke (£5.5m)
  • Assists: Jordan Ayew (£5.6m), Andros Townsend (£5.5m)
  • Bonus points: Benteke x3, Mateta x2, Veltman x1

DERBY DISASTER

Brighton failed to deliver on their recent defensive promise as they lost the A23 derby to Crystal Palace in a dramatic fashion.

After dominating proceedings with their 25 shots, Graham Potter’s men fell to a stoppage-time winner from substitute Christian Benteke (£5.5m).

Such a disastrous end to the game was frustrating for the growing number of Fantasy Premier League managers invested in Brighton’s defence.

They had kept five clean sheets in the previous six Gameweeks, 62.5% of their shutouts for the whole campaign occurring during a period which pitted them against Spurs, Liverpool and Aston Villa.

Furthermore, Crystal Palace had not scored a single Premier League goal in five matches without Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) this season… until they netted twice on Monday night.

Can Brighton’s defence still be trusted then?

A Double Gameweek 26 meeting with West Bromwich Albion still holds clean sheet promise based on Brighton’s mid-term form and the fact that Sam Allardyce’s men have blanked in two of their last three.

They also face Southampton (away) and Newcastle (home) between now and Blank Gameweek 29.

BACK TO BASICS

While Crystal Palace have hardly been a team worth relying on for defensive returns this season but they showed a glimmer of potential on Monday night.

They weathered Brighton’s storm of 25 shots impressively, producing a total of 56 on the Clearances, Blocks and Interceptions (CBI) metric.

Gary Cahill (£4.5m) said at full-time that the Eagles’ recent form had triggered a ‘back-to-basics’ approach from them in the A23 derby.

For a team like Palace, that means a focus on defence. If they are able to lay down another deep (and effective) block in Double Gameweek 26, it is possible that Tyrick Mitchell (£3.9m) could be a worthy starter or someone to Bench Boost.

A more defensive approach makes it more likely the left-back will start ahead of the more adventurous Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) while Fulham have the second-worst shot accuracy in the Premier League over their last four matches.

“I think that was an important factor because we had to accept we weren’t able to do enough ourselves with the ball, when we were able to win it back. We were put under pressure immediately and as a result quite often the ball was more around our area and final third than we were able to get into theirs. But I thought the resilience, the determination and the sheer guts really that the players showed both in terms of the shape of the team in those areas, but also in terms of their desire to block and not concede clear-cut goal chances.” – Roy Hodgson

WHAT A WONDERFUL PHRASE

Jean-Philippe Mateta (£5.8m) will be pleased with his first Crystal Palace goal but it could be Benteke who answers the Eagles’ questions about playing without Zaha.

Over the last three Gameweeks since making his Premier League debut, Mateta has registered just two efforts on goal.

By contrast, in just 105 minutes over the same period, Benteke has unleashed seven efforts on goal.

Five of those have been inside the penalty area and five were on target.

That makes for an impressive minutes-per-chance figure of 15 while James Maddison (£7.3m) is the only Premier League player to register more shots on target than Benteke since Gameweek 23. His total of five is level with Ilkay Gundogan (£6.1m), Phil Foden (£6.1m), Jesse Lingard (£5.9m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m)

“(Benteke’s goal) should make a big difference. This is what all coaches expect of their players. You can only pick XI. There are always going to be people left out of the team that makes people think the coach doesn’t know what he is doing. The only thing players can do is take their chance. All too often, I find, players would prefer to feel sorry for themselves than do what Christian did tonight. Come on for the last 15 minutes and prove the manager wrong for not picking him.” – Roy Hodgson

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (3-4-1-2): R Sánchez; Burn, Dunk, White; Alzate (Welbeck 46′), Bissouma, Groß (Jahanbakhsh 81′), Veltman; Mac Allister (Lallana 68′); Maupay, Trossard.

Crystal Palace XI (4-3-3): Guaita; Mitchell, Cahill, Kouyaté, J Ward; Eze (J McCarthy 90+1′), Milivojevic, Riedewald; A Townsend, Mateta (Benteke 75′), Ayew.

    Salah, Bruno, Son, Raphinha, Soucek
    Antonio, Bamford, Ings

    1FT £0.1m ITB

    What should I do here guys?

    A) Antonio ---> Watkins
    B) Salah + Antonio ---> Gundogan/Barnes + Kane (-4)
    C) Ings + Soucek ---> DCL + Gundo (-4)
    D) Salah + Antonio + Soucek ---> Gundo + Kane + Barnes (-8)
    E) WC

    Or suggest something else please???

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years

      I like C

      1. tabby98
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Don't have a FH for GW29 so do need to consider that too

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

          you currently have 5 playing in GW29, so with 3 more transfers without hits between 27-29, you'll have 8 players so it's not too bad...C is great as it gives you triple city for both doubles this week and next- No brainer

  2. AD105
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How essential is Kane this week do we reckon?

    Really scared to go without him but rest of the team looks stronger without him, plus less of a points hit...

    1. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Get Kane.

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

        This

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You should get him really.

    3. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Im going without Kane (:

    4. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      if u r getting sleepless nights, just get him. Personally, unless the team got injuries which allow upgrades, im happier without.

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

      He's likely to have an EO of around 150%. So every point he gets will hurt you. If he blanks, great, but I personally don't think there are enough other valid options to justify the risk of going without.

    6. hustler7
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Already have Son and going without Kane.

    7. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Have Son and do not want Kane.

      Don't be a sheep.

      🙂

    8. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      15 points would be a good haul. Easily matched by other players including Bruno, Son, Salah, city mids, Vardy, DCL etc.. Not worth tearing up your team for with hits but a good pick if free

  3. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    DGW26 FH team. Good to go?

    Pickford
    Cancelo Shaw Targett
    Salah KDB Gundogan Bruno Barnes
    Kane DCL

    Fabri Mitchell Struijk Davis

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

      Could you go for Martinez/Digne instead of Pickford/Targett?

      Otherwise looks pretty template and g2g

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Would go for this too by the way.

      2. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Can’t afford it but that’s what I’d prefer

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Solid.

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

      I'd expect Cancelo to be rested for one, and possibly Shaw as well. I'd prefer AWB and Dias for safety.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Good shout. I think I’ll watch the European games and see who plays

  4. Slurpy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez (Areola)
    Stones Shaw Lowton Mee (Dallas)
    Sterling Bruno Barnes Rashford (Raphinha)
    Bamford Watkins (Ings)

    Is Ings , Rashford to Gundogan/Foden and Kane worth -4?
    What about adding Mee to Peirera for -8?

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

      Just Ings to DCL for free and you're g2g for me

      1. Slurpy
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Don't fancy spurs then?

    2. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes for the Kane and Gundo move

  5. Riders of Yohan
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed:

    Appreciate suggestions with this lot. Currently thinking of getting Kane in for the TC:

    £0.2 ITB, 2FT

    Martinez
    Cancelo, Rudiger, Dallas
    Sterling, Salah, Bruno, Gundo, rashford
    Watkins, Bamford

    Forster. Struijk, Antonio, Kilman

    No Free Hit so do need to consider GW29.

  6. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Whose everyone TC? Currently on Bruno, although Kane tempting me

    1. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If I go down the TC route this week, will be Kane

    2. Slurpy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Im on Bruno, Kane and even Barnes being considered though

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Will TC next week, either city mid or DCL if the everton double is confirmed.

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

      Bruno atm.

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

      Salah

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

      kane most likely

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

    RMWCT (still got TC/FH).

    Martinez
    Stones Cancelo Digne
    Salah Bruno Son Gundo Barnes
    Kane DCL

    Fabri Targett Struijk Davis

      10/10, it looks awesome mate!

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

        Thanks mate 🙂

    2. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      When would you do TC and FH?

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

        FH29 and TC either 27 (City) or when the extra spurs game gets added

    3. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      would not get davis as it restricts u to watkins or grealish in the future

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

        Yeah did cross my mind.. might have to go Konsa over Targett to allow Brewster instead of Targett.

        Thanks mate.

  8. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather have Coufal or Holding in BGW29?
    They play each other

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

      They both have good fixtures after 29 too. Tough but as an Arsenal supporter Holding not nailed to start all whereas Coufal is if fit.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Coufal

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

      I have both but Coufal

  9. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I know the risks but I would not Cpt Fernandes till gw 32 or 33 , gtfo you scrounger

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

      You can do better than selling best player in PL 😉

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

        best for points Amey ? not best otherwise though 🙂
        Its a short term move , not in any money leagues this season so Play up Pompey

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

          He's best for everything 😀

          Fair enough. Enjoy the game !

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

            Nope , unless rose tinted glasses on 🙂
            But yeah it's liberating not playing for money this season so going gut

          2. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            btw great test series with England yeah

              Loving test cricket 🙂

      I’ve got rid for the same reasons

      1. Debauchy

        Cheers Warby , we know the risks GL mate

  10. Salan
    • 14 Years

    BB with this bench?

    McCarthy, Dallas, Mee, Bamford

    Thanks.

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

      I won't

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

        Thanks. Seems too weak.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

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

        Thanks. This is pre-hits or pre-chips. See I will go TC Kane or Bruno, or taking some hits to make it BB-wise.

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

          Taking hits for BB is something I'm also looking at atm.

    3. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have identical bench - am planning to sub in Digne for Dallas (and poss Martinez for Mccarthy for -4) then BB

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

        Both Digne or Pereira I am considering.

  11. tommo-uk-
    • 11 Years

    Bottomed on the last page 🙁

    Best 6.9m Mid for this GW not including:

    Barnes & Gundo

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

      Periera

      Great fixtures till 28

      1. tommo-uk-
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Good Shout.

        Reckon a further Hit (-8) to swap Bamford for DCL?

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

          I'd do that yes.

  12. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy over Watkins if Grealish is confirmed out this GW?

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

      No brainer

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes , although I just have Barnes.

  13. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I bought Sanchez as 2nd keeper with a future BB in mind. Still a good call given last nights result? BRI have much better future fixtures than FUL.

  14. rubberdignerapids
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go for GW26?

    Martinez (Forster)
    Shaw, Cancelo, Reguillon (Burn, Struijk)
    Bruno, Salah, Son, Gundo(VTC) (Raphinha)
    Kane(TC), DCL, Watkins

    0.7 itb

    Plan from GW27 to Blank GW29:

    3 City in GW 27 (Gambling on Bruno to KDB with FT)
    11 players in GW 29 without hits (DCL, KDB and Shaw OUT with 2 FTs and one hit)

  15. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is capping Son to 'cover' a Kane haul a wise idea?

    1. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      And related q - if not, who is the best differential cap?

    2. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      cap the best option u have. if its son then cap him.

      1. tbos83
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bruno or Salah are calling to me but the Son/Kane factor is big

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

      I'm putting the VC on Gundo...I would always VC who you think would be the next best option.

      Obviously with Covid, there's an argument to cap a player from a different team too- so factor this in...a dgw probably negates that slightly

  16. Rbyrne95
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Help please. 1 FT 3.3itb

    Martinez (Sanchez)
    Targett, Shaw, Stones (Dallas, Lowton)
    Salah, Gundogan, Sterling, Fernandes, Raphinha
    Bamford, Cavani, (Adams)

    A) Cavani to Kane.
    B) Cavani and Bamford > Vardy and DCL -4
    C) Cavani, adams and Raphina > DCL, Watkins, Barnes - 8
    D)

    GW 29 is probably a big consideration too.

    1. Rbyrne95
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      BB'ing btw

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

      d) Cavani and Adams > Vardy/Watkins and DCL -4

      1. Rbyrne95
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Can't afford it. Only thing throwing me off is GW 29 and Kane has Palace GW 27. Suppose if DCL has DGW 28 that'll make a difference

        1. Rbyrne95
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          * cant afford Vardy and DCL for adams & Cavani.

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

      In that case just A looks fine especially if it's for free

  17. rubberdignerapids
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go for GW26?

    Martinez (Fabri)
    Shaw, Cancelo, Reguillon (Burn, Struijk)
    Bruno, Salah, Son, Gundo(VTC) (Raphinha)
    Kane(TC), DCL, Watkins

    0.7 itb

    Plan from GW27 to Blank GW29:

    3 City in GW 27 (Gambling on Bruno to KDB with FT)
    11 players in GW 29 without hits (DCL, KDB and Shaw OUT with 2 FTs and one hit)

    1. rubberdignerapids

      Sorry for Double posting by accident- ignore this one

  18. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Current squad:

    Martinez (Pope)
    Cancelo Digne Shaw (Ayling Mitchell)
    Salah Bruno Son Gundo (Soucek)
    Antonio Ings Bamford

    How does this look for GW26 with -8 hit?

    Ayling, Antonio, Ings > Stones, Watkins, DCL

    To make 13 DGWers and playing BB. Still have chips available so will WC then FH29.

    Thoughts on that?

    Cheers!

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

      I would just do Ings to DCL without taking the hit- or Watkins in for -4 at a push (although without Grealish, villa aren't looking great)

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Grealish injury and Mitchell starting last night have moved my plans a bit.

        Just thinking of a big gamble to go all out on the DGW before using WC

    2. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      ant + ings -> watkins + DCL. dont think getting a ManC defender is worth a -4 unless u r pep himself n stones get 2 games

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah i do tend to agree. It was tempting because of the money left over and Man C 4 straight home fixtures!

        But Pep does tend to be a twit.

    TC (Salah or Bruno) or BB this team?

    Pope
    Mee, Rudiger, Cancelo, Stones
    Salah, Bruno, Sterling, Barnes
    Watkins, Bamford

    Subs: Areola, Maja, Dallas, Raphinha

    (Sterling to Son would cost -8)

    Anyone considering sticking the armband on Watkins? Arguably the best fixtures of the DGW.

      Not without grealish

        3 years, 1 month ago

        Aye. Massive influence on attacking play but Leeds and Sheffield are bloody woeful defensively. Just looking for reasons not to stick it on Kane 😛

      Losing him on WC so no DCL much better fixtures imo , going Kane though

      1. Simon69

        Southampton shaky as of late but I'm not convinced it's a walk in the park for Toffees.

    3. rubberdignerapids

      Owning him is enough without Grealish, but not captaining- way better options: Kane/DCL/Son/Salah/Bruno/City etc.

        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Matter of opinion I guess. Mourinho downfall in full swing I really don't have faith in Kane or Son. Salah a shout that I do like.

      There is a way to beat the pressing and marking of Leeds and this was discussed extensively on last week's Scoutcast. United Arsenal did this successfully. I can't see Villa doing it without Grealish.

    Have Son. No Leicester.

    A) Vardy
    B) Kane

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane

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

      Kane for me- capable of big scores despite dip in team form.

      Pay attention to Europa game tomorrow and see how Spurs perform (hopefully with Bale in the mix)

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

      Kane

    4. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  22. sandman58
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start 1
    A) Bamford (AVL)
    B) Dier (BUR,ful)

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

      Dier

  23. niaz1982

    Is it worth me costing myself -4 to take Son out and bring Kane in when i have the below? or just get Raphina out for Gundo no hit? Think i've lost the plot!

    Pope
    Shaw Dias Mee
    Sterling Fernandes Son Raphina Barnes
    DCL Watkins

    Could be Watkins out for Kane, Son out for someone max £5.9m

    Or leave Son as spurs cover and do Raphina to Gundo [swap back for blank week]

    Bale. Completely unnecessary punt or genius differential?

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

      Everyone loves a hail Mary but it doesn't work every time, Id love to see him produce.

    2. Vlekz
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Completely unnecessary when son is only 0.2 more. It's differentiating just for the sake of differentiation

    3. Kabayan
      • 7 Years

      Feel strange that i want to bring in Kane© and i have Lowton and Areola.

    4. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years

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

      Can this WC team be improved?

      Ederson, Sanchez
      Dias, Shaw, Digne, Targett, White
      Bruno, Gundo, Barnes, Son, Saka
      DCL, Vardy, Kane

      Any quick comment appreciated

        Great team. Salah that only one that can cause real damage but liverpool arent looking great

      2. Debauchy

        Yes , but depends on your strategy and what you have .
        What chips you still have ?

        1. DangerFC

          I still have FH and TC. Plan is to navigate the next couple of weeks and then make a decision on whther to play gw 29 with FH or navigate it with 9/10 players through free transfers in the next few gameweeks. I done this on the last blank gameweek and only lost out on 8 points to the guy who played FH on the blank.

      OK if you will not Cpt Bruno until after gw 31, with no WC left after this and with no FH in hand for gw 29 , Im on B

      A. Bruno , Struik

      B. Son , Cresswell

      both defenders benched this gw

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

        B in your case as it gives you 2 extra 29 players

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

          Yes thanks Amey, all relative eh

        You can always buy Son in 29? I wouldnt go without Bruno, even if you're not capping him, majority of players will, so you will be down 200% EO for a bruno dgw. Scary thought!

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years

          Will be scary for sure but nothing to lose need to risk , thanks Barry

      Current squad

      Martinez, Pope
      Stones, Cancelo, Mee, Dallas, Chilwell
      Fernandes, Son, Gundo, Salah, Raphinha
      Antonio, Cavani, Bamford

      Obviously need to move Chilwell.
      Would like to move Antonia due to fixture
      Cavani has been a headache, fixtures look great, but hasn't played, hoping that changes in 26.

      Do I?
      Chilwell ---> Targett or Shaw?
      Antonio ---> DCL or Watkins?

      Any other thoughts?

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

        Chilwell to shaw for me. Antonio could still produce. Chillywell has been frozen out.

      No surprise to hear Pep hates FPL considering how he's treated us for the past 5 years.
