Scout Notes

Raphinha and Ayling injury latest as Saint-Maximin keeps up fine FPL form

We begin our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 5 Scout Notes with analysis of Newcastle United v Leeds United.

NEWCASTLE UNITED 1-1 LEEDS UNITED

  • Goals: Allan Saint-Maximin (£6.6m) | Raphinha (£6.5m)
  • Assists: Joelinton (£5.8m) | Patrick Bamford (£7.9m)
  • Bonus points: Karl Darlow (£4.5m) x3, Saint-Maximin x2, Raphinha x1

Gameweek 5 got off to an entertaining start as Newcastle United and Leeds United shared a point at St. James’ Park.

With two shaky defences on show, it was a predictably open-game which saw a combined 38 attempts on goal, with Allan Saint-Maximin’s (£6.6m) equaliser cancelling out Raphinha’s (£6.5m) opener.

LIVELY SAINT-MAXIMIN

If anyone was going to score for Newcastle, it was always going to be Saint-Maximin, who dug out a low shot across the face of the goal to equalise just before half-time.

Leading the line in the absence of Callum Wilson (£7.4m), the Frenchman was electric throughout, ending the match with five goal attempts and eight FPL points.

Often ridiculed for his lack of end product, Saint-Maximin has now returned in four of the opening five Gameweeks, with two goals, two assists and four bonus points during that time. And with Watford (a), Wolverhampton Wanderers (a), Tottenham Hotspur (h) and Crystal Palace (a) up next, his FPL ownership – which currently sits at 8.8% – will surely be into double figures by the time Gameweek 6 arrives.

Matt Ritchie (£5.0m) also impressed from a Fantasy perspective. Having started as a wing-back, he later shifted into a back four but still found himself in some promising positions and came close to scoring as he rattled the post. He also registered seven crosses, created two chances and took some set-pieces.

Defensively, the league’s worst defence so far this season left plenty of gaps, and as result, conceded 21 shots to Leeds. That meant that the returning Karl Darlow (£4.5m) was kept busy, as he registered an eight-point haul despite conceding, thanks to nine saves and three bonus points.

RAPHINHA AND BAMFORD DELIVER ATTACKING RETURNS

Raphinha and Patrick Bamford (£7.9m), both of whom were the subject of injury rumours during the week, started for the visitors and combined for the opener after just 13 minutes.

Picking up the ball wide on the right, the Brazilian swung in a cross which bent towards the far corner and found its way into the back of the net after a neat step over from the impressive Rodrigo (£6.3m).

However, Raphinha was withdrawn after 67 minutes, with Marcelo Bielsa providing an update after the game:

“He has a problem in his hip.”

Leeds’ injury crisis at centre-half may have got even worse, meanwhile, with Luke Ayling, who was deputising in that position, limping off:

“Let’s hope it’s nothing that prevents him from playing because it will be the fourth option at centre-back that we’d lose.” – Marcelo Bielsa on Luke Ayling

As for Bamford, he struggled to make an impact for large periods, but did miss a good chance in the second-half and at least returned five FPL points for his owners via that assist.

Daniel James (£6.0m) also made a first start for Leeds since his summer move from Manchester United, replacing Jack Harrison (£5.8m) who has tested positive for Covid-19, though he was ineffective and replaced on the hour mark.

As a result of tonight’s draw, Leeds remain winless this season with three points from five games. However, their fixtures between Gameweeks 6 and 10 (see below) should at least give them an opportunity to start moving up the table soon.

“We had sufficient chances to go in at the break with a bigger margin, but we didn’t score in proportion to the amount of chances we created. We were missing some efficiency and capitalising on the chances that we had. We had a lot of possession, perhaps we could have created even more danger especially in the second half.” – Marcelo Bielsa

Newcastle XI: Darlow, Manquillo (Krafth 81), Hayden, Lascelles, Clark, Ritchie, Willock, S Longstaff, Almiron (Fraser 62), Joelinton (Murphy 90+1), Saint-Maximin

Leeds XI: Meslier, Dallas, Ayling (Shackleton 89), Cooper, Firpo, Phillips, Klich, Raphinha (Summerville 67), Rodrigo, James (Roberts 61), Bamford

    Ederson
    Walker Dias Ake Zinch
    Fernan, Gunodg, KDB
    Jesus, Sterling, Grealish

    Predicted city team for tomorrow. Reckon Sterling plays F9 as that's where he played when came on midweek, so Pep obviously testing him there as Torres alternative. Grealish could drop out for Foden.

      I'm hoping Torres will start up top with Sterling playing midweek in the milk cup

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

        I do not see Sterling getting benched 3 games in a row, Pep also praised him in embargo. Torres could still start though with Sterling LW, just thought that F9 role midweek may have been a hint.

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 12 Years

          Sterling went *several* games without barely even featuring! Don't read too much into Pep roulette...!

    2. Amartey Partey

      Respectfully disagree. That’s not enough of a reason for Sterling to start.

      Torres more likely to start, and then Sterling starts in the League Cup game midweek. Torres scored two goals in his last home game.

    Bielsa has said Raphinha has a hip injury.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Well that isn’t ideal, any idea of the extent of it ?

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      hope it's just a minor niggle, only just bought him in on wildcard!

  3. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    My main focus now, getting in Antonio to see him have the Leeds defence for dinner.

    That also means letting go of Raphina.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I’ll bring off my bench I suppose

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don’t lose Raphinha

  4. AnyoneButLiverpool

    Is there no blackbox episode this week?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      There was one on Wednesday, it should be up there if you go to their YouTube channel.

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks like Mark talked himself out if Leeds players

  5. FPL Theorist
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Current midfield is Salah, Bruno, Benrahma, Raphinha, Gray. Early thoughts on potential one-week punts for GW6 before GW7 WC?

    Options include Bruno -> any mid I don't already own (have Ronaldo), or
    Raph (if injured) or Benrahma -> a mid at the same price or lower.

    1 FT, 0 ITB

    1. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Doucoure for double Everton v Norwich or Sarr v Newcastle look like good mid-price one week punts.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      tbh Bruno and Benrahma are 2 of the standout options for mids in GW6.

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Podence if he starts this week.
      Everton double up? Doucoure?
      Barnes/Perez
      Saka
      Sancho
      Fornals

      just looking at the ticker really

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I get a cold shiver up my spine when I hear Podence mentioned. This time last year I fell down the black hole that was him

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

          i have him in my draft team just waiting for him to start and score.
          it's really nice having him in that team and not feeling like doing it in my real fpl team.

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think any make sense to transfer out tbh. Look elsewhere

    5. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers all, good ideas!

  6. FPLShaqiri
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Manquillo first chioce? Would rather go him for the wc over Williams if he is. Own Livramento already.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Played the last two games so looks like he's back in the fold

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I think so ; but bench fodder innit.

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    When will Antonio’s get removed ?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      After cup probably.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        After the United game

    2. Steiger
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Removed already.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        So it has, my mistake.

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      End of the GW.

  8. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How comes Raphina got taken off early? Precautionary, was it?

    Thanks.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      After West Ham game v Man United kicks off I believe

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      appears so - but Bielsa said he had a hip injury after the game - so maybe he came in with an issue (as rumored) and aggravated it.
      can't say he looked injured during the game to me.

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A potential injury but not much news yet. Must be something up to have been taken off early at 1-1

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bielsa's quotes (from Scout twitter);

      "He has a problem with his hip" (on Raph)

      "We have fur center-backs and Ayling is a fifth. If we have to resolve the absence of four of them, then it will be complicated. The same with the wingers. We count on James, Harrison, Raphinha and Summerville. To lose two of them will make it difficult to resolve."

      (the two being Raph and Harrison(covid))

      Things do not sound good at all for Leeds.

      1. Rupert The Horse

        Cheers

  9. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I'm so ready to rage transfer Torres out of my team tomorrow when I hear he's been benched.

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Now everyone is fit I just cant see how you can predict it. Ive gone Cancelo but only because he has 2 potential spots to aim at and less chance of a cameo.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You knew the risks. Lucky he's played as much as he is thanks to injuries ; but you have to think Jesus will start.

  10. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On the one hand Raphinha scored with a cross on the other hand though he missed a sitter to score 15pts

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hence 6.5 and not 8.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Happy to have him.

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Saw the highlights and didn’t see any sitters missed and no big chances missed on the stats. Maybe missing something

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Same

      2. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Last minute of added time in the 1st half

    4. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He would have scored a brace if Klich squared it to him in the box, rather than going for goal. Could have been more.

    5. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lot of bodies in front of him with that chance you're referring to.

  11. jia you
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Looking ahead to next week. Would you play both Cancelo and James in the Chelsea v City game?
    (Benrahma & Livramento are my back up)

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you bench Benrahma at Leeds?!?!?!?!?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah might bench Cancelo over him but it's not a no brainer

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah i have both and also TAA and Semedo. Gonna be tricky.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        yeah, in a tight game they can do well and if it's full of goals they can also grab something I guess!

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I will likely play both as its too tough a call

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I've a very good bench option in Benrahma so might need to bench Cancelo but would be happy to play him in every game tbh

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely play Benrahma, I'd probably play James over Cancelo with Chelsea being at home and tighter defensively

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        yeah thinking the same but love Cancelo he's so dangerous but if there's one game to bench him it's away to Chelsea

  12. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Want to do DCL---->Antonio this GW. DCL now on 8.1 and Antonio on 7.9. I want to wait out a little bit, hoping that Antonio might drop to 7.8 before next GW, is there a chance of that happening? But again, I am afraid that DCL might drop again to 8.0 if I wait too long?

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

      hard to guess for me.
      neither are plying this week to make the casuals notice either way.
      might depend when they take the flag off antonio.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure if Antonio will be locked after the flag is removed? James has been locked since his flag went off after his suspension

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, he'll be locked for a week.

      2. Original Sin
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        So if the price js locked, then it won't drop further, but if FPL keeps a red flag, then he might drop?

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, he has two nights to survive a price drop before the red flag comes off.

          1. FPL Theorist
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Oops, I guess they did already remove the flag.

          2. Conan23
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            i just checked him on fpl statistics and he is officially price blocked....good

  13. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like Raph could be another fire to put out next week, feels impossible to roll a transfer atm

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same every year

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He could yet play against West Ham if it’s not serious though.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He was playing well and didn’t look injured when subbed. 8 days to recover so hopefully will be fine. Ayling however did look more of an issue

  14. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Goodnight my lovelies. Sister is getting married tomorrow so must get an early night.

    1. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    How bad do Antonio sellers regret that decision now?

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      Not exactly gonna hurt us this week is he?

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years

        Talking about next week obviously

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years

          Lot can happen in a week

          He isn't guaranteed to start yet.

          1. Dušan Citizen
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Well, he better score a brace at least as I saved him particularly for that fixture and giving him the armband.

            1. Original Sin
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Hope he is certain to start though. Just did DCL ---->Antonio now.

    2. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not that bad I reckon..bamford assist so 5 pts is more than they would have gotten from brownhill etc..

  17. Original Sin

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Didn't know about today's Leeds vs New game, thought the GW deadline would be on Saturday like previous weeks. So, Captaincy mistakenly is still on Lukaku ( from last week). Wanted to captain Salah, fingers crossed, could be blessing in disguise.

    1. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      New castle*, autocorrect

    2. Bennerman
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is this a joke, I can't tell. You'd come on a 'specialist' fantasy football site but don't know when the actual football is on?

      Actually, suddenly this whole site makes sense...

      1. diabydoesgallas
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Get a load of this guy. Missing a Friday deadline can happen to the best of us. And fwiw, lukaku isn’t a bad captain choice at all this week.

        1. Bennerman
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I personally think it's a bit odd not knowing when the games are, but each unto their own.

          "Get a load of this guy" - not heard that outside of a film!

          1. jay01
            • 9 Years

            Its happened to me when you plan to wait till friday to make changes, but work gets super busy and you completely forget you miss the deadline

    By the sounds of it Raphina has more of a hip irritation. Likely given 60 mins and see how it responds. He’ll play next week.

      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm glad he played on a Friday, 8 days rest should do the trick

      You get more and more confident sentence by sentence, until you deliver your opinion as fact.

      Classic.

        I thought opinion is fact these days?

      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      So the Twitter/internet rumours were true, but the seriousness of the injury/niggle weren't extreme enough to make him miss out, basically...

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, likely an irritation.

      Haven't seen the game, just come back from poker, but assume we just wait for a Bielsa conference or if we see him pictured in training?

    I know they won't face Leeds defence every week but with a decent run of fixtures ASM looks a decent Toney replacement?

  20. Nate(U)dog(ie)

    Just saw Firpo's miss, oof. Expect that from Joelinton. ASM has honestly been one of the best players so far this season though IMO, even in the defeat to West Ham I thought he was the best player on the pitch. Can't see him staying there too much longer if he can stay fit

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Joelinton is painful to watch.

    2. Bennerman
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Honestly?

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I think he's been exceptional. I suppose he's made to look better by being in a pretty poor team (apart from Wilson maybe) but he's also missed out on assists and more chances himself with the amount of opportunities that have been wasted by others around him so regularly

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He's a good dribbler but never been convinced by his end product. Look forward to seeing his goal on MOTD.

    After the ridiculous amount of time I spent tinkering on wildcard this past week can I just leave this team and roll transfer for gw7?
    Obviously aware this gameweek yet to be played 🙂

    Guiata
    Trent James Semedo
    Salah Jota Torres Gray
    Lukaku Bamf Antonio
    Steer Livra White Gilmour

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      All good

  22. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1FT.
    A. Toney to Saint Maximin
    B. Amartey to Semedo

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm presuming Amartey is your 5th defender, if that is the case I'd go A

      1. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yup. But it also means play livra/white..

        1. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Monitor the games over the weekend, that might help you decide what to do.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          White is a solid pick.

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Considering A myself, will see what pans out for the rest of the GW though.

  23. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Team already set for GW6.

    I might just go triple cap Antonio.

    1. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      As in you’ve made transfers before 9 games have happened?

  24. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So what’s the deal with Raphinha? Presumably he is a hold?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      For now, yep.

    At a loss of what to do with my 2 FTs….
    0.1 ITB

    TAA Rudiger Shaw
    Salah Jota Raphinha Gray
    Ronaldo Antonio Jimenez

    Gunn; Sissoka, Livramento, White

    Is Antonio price locked now? Or can he still drop in price today?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm surprised, I thought it'd be after the United match. By the rules on FPLStatistics he should now be locked, but who knowa.

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think he can drop

    3. asr
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, price locked. His status on FPL has turned back to Available. Fplstats also shows price locked till 25th Sep 11.21pm

  27. jay01
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Why do people lock in price if they are flagged and unflagged? Confused how it works

  28. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is there news of a potential Jimenez injury? Bought him on a WC....

  29. jia you
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    63% possession, 30 crosses, 16 shots, 9 on target...guessing Leeds were decent away from home last night despite not winning?

    1. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Based on the comments I’ve read goals and assists to players you own from Leeds are now worthless, and the players everyone wanted to sell for WHU are now captaincy material. Could be slightly reactionary though.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        yeah read those also, probably mostly from bias non Leeds asset owners...Bielsa will get them firing soon I'm sure

      2. The Son-dance Kid
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Haha i was thinking the same thing!
        Reading a lot of the comments made it feel like Greenwood's 8 points will be worth more than Raphina's 8 points, purely because Leeds defended like crap and have no CBs left

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Both good tbh. Bamford is a bit crap..but puts a shift in and earns everything he gets. ASM looked really good by comparison on the break.

      Overall Rodrigo and ASM looked the best picks.

  30. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Torres to Gallagher on the cards

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I just got him in.
