Scout Notes

Brentford’s solid defence could make life tough for Salah in Gameweek 6

We continue our in-depth analysis of the weekend’s top-flight fixtures by looking at the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points from Wolverhampton Wanderers v Brentford.

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 0-2 BRENTFORD

  • Goals: Ivan Toney (£6.3m), Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m)
  • Assists: Toney
  • Bonus: Toney x3, Ethan Pinnock (£4.6m) x2, Kristoffer Ajer (£4.5m) x1

BEES STRONG AT THE BACK

Brentford made it three clean sheets in five Premier League games in their 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, a tally that would have been even greater had they not shipped an out-of-the-blue 89th-minute winner to Brighton in Gameweek 4.

Wolves didn’t manage a single shot on target at Molineux this weekend and had only four efforts from inside the Bees’ box, with a Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) header wide and Adama Traore (£6.0m) shot that hit the bar as close as the hosts came to scoring – even then, the close proximity of Brentford defenders partly influenced the outcomes of the goal attempts.

It’s Liverpool up next for the west London outfit and while the Season Ticker of your choice may read blue/green for Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and co, the Bees’ defensive stats are worth a look:

MetricRank v other Premier League clubs
Shots conceded=3rd
Shots in the box conceded4th
Shots on target conceded=2nd
Efforts from set plays conceded4th
Big chances conceded=3rd
Expected goals (xG) conceded2nd
Goals conceded4th
Clean sheets=4th

One obvious thing to point out at this stage is the calibre of opposition: Brentford haven’t yet faced any of last season’s top seven.

A free-scoring Liverpool attack will be the real acid test of Thomas Frank’s backline but similarly, this could be a trickier afternoon for the Reds than the fixture difficulty rating-makers would have us believe.

“[Pontus Jansson] is good, he’s fine, no problem. [Rico Henry] had a minor issue with his ankle plus he was also on a yellow card and he played against Traore.” – Thomas Frank on the withdrawals of two of his defenders

MBEUMO AND TONEY

“Promise, not points” was the takeaway from last week’s write-up on Ivan Toney (£6.3m) and Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m) after the defeat to Brighton.

The pair’s positive link-up play was finally rewarded with goals on Saturday, with Toney extending his excellent penalty-taking record (18 scored from 19 attempts) before teeing up his strike partner to score from close range.

Toney found the net on a further two occasions at Molineux but was denied by first an offside flag and then a VAR call on a handball.

“That was a 10/10 performance. What an assist, by the way, to Bryan [Mbeumo]. Again, we saw Bryan and Ivan’s relationship. It’s a little bit Yorke and Cole.” – Thomas Frank on Ivan Toney

Now’s not really the time to buy either player in FPL going by the next four matches (see above), especially if Frank asks Toney to play a bit deeper to connect play – as he did in Gameweek 1 – in the tougher upcoming games.

But a more appealing set of fixtures follows from Gameweeks 10-16, whereby the Bees jump to second in our Season Ticker.

WOLVES’ OFF DAY

Wolves were hugely disappointing and delivered their worst display under Bruno Lage to date, with FPL’s most-bought defender of Gameweek 5, Marcal (£4.6m), particularly woeful.

From a defensive point of view, we should, from an owners’ perspective, not overreact and hopefully just chalk this up as an off-day, as the Wolves backline had been decent up until this point. The fixtures ahead remain appealing, too.

But the struggles up top are a recurring theme and Lage’s troops are bottom of the division for shots-to-goals conversion rate, having netted only one of their 82 attempts in 2021/22.

Lage even substituted three of his five starting defenders and switched to a 4-2-3-1 on Saturday to chase the game, ultimately to no avail.

“It’s a concern, but not just from this year, from the past the team didn’t score too many goals. They have maybe one or two per game, so the average of the goals is not big, so we’re trying to play a different way, trying to create more chances to raise that average.

“But in the end, when you look back and see we created a lot of chances, to only have three points and two goals is a little bit frustrating for us.” – Bruno Lage on the struggle for goals

Wolves XI: Sa, Semedo (Silva 81), Kilman, Coady, Saiss (Hwang 46), Marcal (Podence 72), Neves, Moutinho, Trincao, Traore, Jimenez.

Brentford XI: Raya, Ajer, Jansson (Zanka 81), Pinnock, Canos (Onyeka 68), Baptiste, Norgaard, Janelt, Henry (Roerslev 75), Mbeumo, Toney.

    ok - re-upping this WC team.
    would require an early week WC to get price rises.

    it feels 1-2 weeks early, but I had success doing it a tad early last season, and I'm bored with my team right now.

    Schmeichel, Foster
    TAA, Dias, Cancelo, Alonso, Rudiger
    Salah, Benrahma, Sarr, Raphinha, Gilmour
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Street

    0.3 itb

    Bench one of Benrahma, Sarr or Raphinha each week - but realistically I’ll assume one defender doesn’t play each week.

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      So who's first on bench every week?

      Too much of a headache deciding

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

      Nice team!

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

      I prefer a very cheap playing bench.

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

      bench order is xxx, Gilmour, Street

      xxx = Sarr, Benrahma, Raphinha - depending who plays who.
      I also assume every week or two one of the defenders is benched - so really I'm only making a decision every now and then.

      If I find it's a headache I can always downgrade someone with a transfer and free up cash - not the worst position to be in really.

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

      You're over thinking it imo, there's a reason why 343 is the most popular formation

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

        It's partly because I don't really like any mids from 7.5+ other than Salah.
        So that money need to be spent somewhere.

        always have transfers to move things around - this is a lot to do with City & Chelsea upcoming fixture runs.

    6. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm not big on the Schmeichel pick itself. With Foster as backup, it feels exposed to a no gk situation at some point.

      Mf is missing a 7-8m price point perhaps? There are plenty of good backup options in def & mf.

      I really like the squad, but it does feel early. Do you need to move early?

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

    Christensen rudiger double up from 7

    To boring and not enough upside or solid and cheapest way to double up on Chelsea def ?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have Rudi + TAA. Option is Chelsea double up with Christensen or Pool double up with Matip. Matip more nailed.

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

    What you think?

    Aubameyang/Torres to:

    A Vardy Benrahma
    B Bamford Benrahma
    C Antonio Benrahma
    D Antonio Raphina (if fit)

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

      Or Vardy Saka

    2. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C or D

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

    Help me fill the gaps for GW7

    Sanchez (Gunn)
    TAA, Cancelo, _____ (White, Livramento)
    Salah, Raphinha, Benrahma, Gray, _____
    Ronaldo, _____ ( _____ )

    A) Rudiger, Grealish, António, Perica (352)
    B) Rudiger, 4.5 mid, Lukaku, Perica (442)
    C) 4.5 def, Gallagher, Lukaku, Perica (352)
    D) just go 343 and forget Lukaku + Ronaldo

    1. Squib
      • 6 Years

      Tempted by B

  5. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone considering Saka or Pepe?

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

      Saka from GW7, yes.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Looking at one of them as my Jota replacement next week. Pepe's heatmap & shots heatmap looks more encouraging. He's on some set pieces too.

    2. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah Saka probably
      You’re considering odegaard?

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        No it's between Saka or Pepe.

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

      Saka v Sarr v Raphinha for me - choose 2 for WC squad.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sarr's long term fixtures don't look good.

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

          yeah - but a nice next 2...

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

            just sold saka...had good fixtures and nothing

  6. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth holding Traore till at least after Newcastle at home, plan is to get to Chelsea with 2 freebies next week.. Otherwise get Sarr and take a hit next week?

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Personally holding. Out of Sarr, Gray and Traore, I just had to choose Traore...

      1. Diddly Squat
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Based on what? 0 goals and 0 assists ?
        Last season 2 goals and 4 assists.

        1. Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I was lamenting the fact that of all the options available, I chose him. So...not a great decision made.

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

      I do not think Traore to Saka will solve your Traore problem.

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

        Whoop, Traore to Saar

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

          Ah feck, Traore to Sarr won't solve your problem.

    3. Dogs Of War
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That’s what I’m doing. We brought him in for his fixtures didn’t we. Surely after Newcastle (H) he will have returned.

  7. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jimi -> Antonio (-4) Y or N?

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Y

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

      Not for -4

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

      Only if you cap Antonio and pretty good shout vs Leeds defence 🙂

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

        I would not Coz CR7. But im scared of Antonio and not convienced of Jimi 🙁

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. He's up against Leeds and should score at least one goal.

  8. Zion
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any Lukaku owners here who don't have Ronaldo? What are your plans?
    Felt very confident on keeping my knees in check and keeping Lukaku.
    But, it seems that Ronaldo is indeed the Ronaldo of old...

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

      Sticking with Lukaku, I'd need Ronaldo for -8 so will captain Salah and pray

      1. Zion
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Then we'll pray together

    Who would you drop to get a Chelsea defender in?

    Semedo or White?

        Whichever one is more expensive.

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

      Anyone else adopted the tactic of only capping players at home and premium players where possible ? Suppose the 2nd one is a ‘no brainer’

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        With my lop-sided squad it would be pretty foolish not to exclusively captain the premium players. The decision between Salah (bre) and Ronaldo (AVL) is so close this week it will prob come down to Ronaldo simply by virtue of being at home.

      2. Pinturicchio10
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Salah, Salah, Antonio, Ronaldo, Salah

          I have my own fixture ticket / captain planner. I know my captain's right up to gw20.

            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Yes. And use a differential captain when both your normal options have a weak fixture (e.g. Antonio(c) worked out well a few weeks back)

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

              Yeah, I still stuck to my plan week 3 and went won, think Antonio outscored him by a few but generally it’s worked

          3. Diddly Squat
            • 3 Years

          First tough decision of the year. Jimmy or Bam back to Antonio, or save transfer to get two chelsea boys in for free next week?

          1. Dr. Rog
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Jimmy. not even tough

            1. Threat Level Midnight
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              It is though. Antonios fixtures turn soon and Jimmy is due any GW now. He's been miserably close every week. More unlucky than poor, in my opinion.

              With that being said, I think that's who I would move on.

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  They don't turn that much tbh, 6th game is the first tough one- Liverpool at home and no reason he can't get a return

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

              Antonio feels like a must have. 4goals, 4 assists in 4 games. Aswell as he is rested now

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

            After yesterday is Rudiger the go to Chelsea defender to get for GW7 onwards?

            Before yesterday Reece James seemed the popular pick.

            1. Threat Level Midnight
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Has to be for nailedness

            2. Miguel Sanchez
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Rudiger currently appears to have the best balance of price, nailedness and attacking potential.

            3. Karan14
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Get both.

            4. Pinturicchio10
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Always thought he was. Mind you, didn't see the whole Alonso starting every game thing happening. Still think it starts with Rudiger though. Add another.

                • 5 Years

                Everyone seems to think Alonso is a stop-gap for Chilwell, but I think Tuchel loves Alonso. The Man City game will tell us alot

              Will Rudiger rise tonight?

                  Will have to pull the trigger now in that case! Not ideal but don't want to lose out on getting him.

                  Close. Possible.

              James owners what you doing, got on WC & regretting not taking Alonso/Rudiger?

              GW5 not successful Torres, Trent, James, Sa, Semedo & Tonio on the bench.

              Long way to go but dropped to 200k to 400k 🙁

                Holding - expecting him to start a fair few in a row now that he has missed a couple of games through suspension and rotation.

                James could play, Alonso could be benched for GW6. The Tuchel effect.

                1. Amartey Partey
                  • 4 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Unlikely that Alonso will be benched against city. Chilwell will start the midweek game.

                    Glad I am not in this situation pondering whether even James will play 🙂

              Meslier
              TAA,Dias,Rudiger,Shaw
              Raphinha,Salah,Gray

              Gunn, Livramento, Bissouma,Gilmour

              Think I’m going Coufal > Rudiger this week.

                Looks good, thought about a new keeper?

                  • 10 Years

                  Considering Ramdale but can’t drop Meslier yet with those fixtures.

                Very nice team,

                I'm on very similar but Gallagher over Dennis

                  Yeh that is a good alternative.

              2 years, 6 months ago

              Mike Dean and Kevin Friend refs for both the games with strong cap options.

              This is tough now. Ronaldo or Antonio??

              What are Shaw owners doing? I think he will get a lot of assists - especially for CR7 headers, on corners, plays high up, but utd don't look as solid as Chelsea for example. Tempted by Rudi instead but he's likely going up...

                • 12 Years

                Waving goodbye to him GW7/8

              2. The 12th Man
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Holding for at least the next two games. Then look at a downgrade if he continues to disappoint probably to White and shift the cash to midfield.

                With Rudiger you get clean sheets, that's it

                Shaw is the most creative defender after TAA so I'm keeping for now, when fixtures turn (gw 9) I might swap for Chelsea defender

                I shipped Shaw for Rudiger 2 weeks ago and it's the best transfer i've made so far this season.

              Is bringing in Sarr for Torres worth it? Next 2 look good for Sarr but after that fixtures get tricky

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

                It is what it is with Sarr.

                You’ll get a haul then several blanks.

                Torres is one of this players where he could explode or be benched and not come on.

              2. Dr. Rog
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                if you have wildcard in hand then its a reasonable move.
                if not bringing someone in "for the next 2" rarely works out, because the value of 2 switches is 8 points.
                if you want to do a hokey cokey and hold sarr for the long term, then its ok as well.
