Scout Notes

“More goals” to come from Livramento as Hassenhuttl offers Broja injury update

We continue our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 9 round-ups with analysis of Southampton v Burnley.

For a briefer summary of all six of Saturday’s games, click here, while the footer at the bottom of this piece will direct you to our detailed Scout Notes on the other Gameweek 9 action.

SOUTHAMPTON 2-2 BURNLEY

  • Goals: Tino Livramento (£4.3m), Armando Broja (£5.0m) | Maxwell Cornet (£6.0m) x2
  • Assists: Nathan Redmond (£5.9m), Ibrahima Diallo (£4.5m) | Ashley Westwood (£5.3m), Matthew Lowton (£4.4m)
  • Bonus: Cornet x3, Livramento x2, Broja x2

CORNET AN EXCITING FPL DIFFERENTIAL

Owned by approximately 0.05% of FPL managers going into Gameweek 9, Maxwel Cornet (£6.0m) is the dictionary definition of an FPL differential – in a make-believe world where Fantasy jargon makes it into Webster’s, of course.

Cornet (who featured predominantly at left-back in his final season at Lyon) has shown glimpses of promise already in this injury-interrupted season, with his fleeting star turn against Leicester last month catching the eye.

A brace against Southampton enhanced his growing reputation and we may now have yet another candidate to consider in what is already a strong £5.0m-£6.0m FPL midfielder pool.

It’s still a tiny sample size but six shots in the box, including two big chances, in his 214 minutes of pitch-time is good going and favourable when we focus solely on £6.0m-and-under midfielders:

Above: £6.0m-and-under FPL midfielders sorted by shots in the box per 90 minutes in 2021/22

Cornet’s defensive deficiencies may also benefit him from an FPL perspective.

Initially stationed on the left wing on Saturday and leaving the full-back behind him, Charlie Taylor (£4.4m), a little exposed, the Ivory Coast international was moved to a supporting striker role in the second half at St Mary’s and it was from there that he lashed in his second goal of the game, having earlier nodded in an opener for the Clarets.

Most of his goal attempts this season have encouragingly been from threatening central areas:

“I think that’s the balance, understanding there is a difference in the Premier League on turnover and transition. In the last 15 minutes of the first half, he was getting too high up the pitch. That was allowing them to break forward and knock it in behind him.

“That is why we changed it. But he still delivered and he came to life in the number 10, he is super strong for the ball that Westy played in behind. A fantastic finish.

“The thing I have been pleased with is not just the fact that he looks like is a player can affect us but also his mentality. He is warming to the fact that this is a side that has to work.

“Yet again I’ve had to be a bit cautious with him, he goes down with cramp but obviously cramp can lead to problems and fatigue. He will get fitter and sharper.” – Sean Dyche on Maxwel Cornet

“Yeah but it’s Burnley” will be the cries going up from the comments section but Chris Wood (£6.7m), currently struggling for form up top, has demonstrated occasional mid-price worth over the last couple of seasons in Sean Dyche’s side, along with the now strangely porous Nick Pope (£5.5m) and co at the back.

Burnley actually sit top of our Season Ticker from Gameweeks 12-18, too, even if their run of games during this period isn’t without a tricky test or two.

LIVRAMENTO AND BROJA – THE BEST BUDGET FPL OPTIONS IN THEIR POSITIONS?

Tino Livramento (£4.3m) isn’t an ‘out of position’ defender in the mould of John Lundstram but he’s providing similar value from a £4.0m starting price, with Saturday’s goal against Burnley meaning that he has banked an attacking return or clean sheet in five of the last six Gameweeks.

This was no fluke, either, as he registered a game-high three shots in the box and created another three chances against the Clarets, hitting the post with one of his efforts.

Among £4.5m-and-under defenders, Livramento is second to and only four points behind Shane Duffy (£4.4m). And while Livramento’s ever-present starter status remains intact, Duffy was an unused substitute in Brighton’s loss to Manchester City. The England under-21 international now looks the stand-alone best option in the sub-£4.5m defender pool, then, especially with some more decent fixtures to come

“I feel like it [the goal] was coming. In the previous games, maybe, getting little half chances and obviously hitting the post today.

“I obviously would’ve preferred if that one went in but a goals a goal and I’m looking forward to helping the team with a few more goals moving forward.” – Tino Livramento

“Tino will also score more in the future, he is a very talented young player and I am absolutely convinced that with this squad we will have a lot of fun.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl

Southampton may be able to boast the best budget options in two Fantasy positions.

Armando Broja (£5.0m) made it two goals from as many starts with a well-taken strike against Burnley, also somehow being deprived of an assist when ‘out of position’ strike partner Nathan Redmond (£5.9m) contrived to poke the loanee’s cross wide from two yards.

Among FPL forwards with more than 90 minutes to their name, Broja features in the top five for minutes per shot.

The young striker, whose presence alongside Redmond saw Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) benched again, limped off in the second half but his manager wasn’t too concerned after full-time.

“It doesn’t look too bad but it will take a few days, I think. He is not allowed to play on Tuesday but I think it’s okay.

“We’ve seen twice Armando Broja scored from two starts. He gives us qualities that we didn’t have so far and I am very happy to have him here.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl

Southampton XI (4-4-2): McCarthy; Livramento, Bednarek, Salisu, Perraud; Walcott, Romeu, Diallo, Elyounoussi (S. Armstrong 74); Broja (Adams 79), Redmond (A. Armstrong 89)

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Lowton, Collins, Tarkowski, Taylor; McNeil, Westwood, Cork (Rodriguez 70), Cornet (Gudmundsson 78); Brownhill, Wood (Vydra 90)

    Ole's getting the sack. Needed! He's taking us as far as he can, out of his depth.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Prepare for the next flop.

        Conte?

        What if Ferguson comes out of retirement 😮

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          He already retired to leave on a high and not risk having to get torn to pieces by City and Chelsea.

          It’ll probably be Zidane, which is quite a worrying thought.

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

            What a ridiculous statement. If he wanted that he would have retired back in 04

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 4 Years

              We love to see it. And yes he should have, instead of winning tainted titles by having the referees in his pocket for a decade.

              2 years, 5 months ago

              While I don't think he can come back and be the same guy your comment is foolish considering he faced City and Chelsea with their money for many years

              It admittedly played a factor, he knew the Glazers lack of spending would mean it would be harder and harder to compete

              1. Qaiss
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                So my comment is foolish but it admittedly played a factor? Glazers lack of spending? Hahahah! Man United have the highest net spend in the world of all clubs, in the last 10 years.

                What’s foolish is to keep blaming the Glazers for United’s lack of recent success.

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    I was actually going to respond properly and give you the time of day but you're basically a troll when it comes to Man Utd, I won't even disrespect Wenger like that

                    You do you bro

      5. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        a. Sarr -> Foden
        b. Alonso -> Chilwell
        c. a + b (sadly price changes could make this move impossible)

        Sánchez
        Cancelo, Alonso, TAA
        Raphinha, Salah, Son, Sarr
        Ings, Antonio, Toney

        Steele, Duffy, Gilmour, Amartey
        2 free transfers, 2.2 million in the bank

      6. grooveymatt65
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        if Ole is sacked, does that mean utd will still get stuffed by spurs at the weekend?

        saying this as a hopeful Son owner

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          It happened with Mourinho.

      7. Blue Moon Rising
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        A) Toney and Smith-Rowe

        or

        B) Mount and Broja?

        Currently on B but like them all

      8. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Am I the only one that gets irritated when the high score- 165, has 12 transfers. That should be limited to >3 imo.

            They've barely done anything to combat people with numerous teams and people making new teams to get team of the week, people not making new teams but still taking massive hits to get the highest points for the week

                Very rare for a manager like him to get a big chance like that

                  2 years, 5 months ago

                  Yeah which would make it interesting. He’s clearly very competent. But it will be one from the international merry go round.

                Another year at Brighton, then maybe Spurs when Nuno is gone?

                  I really wanted Spurs to get him. Sounds like he didn't fancy working with Levy and I really don't blame him.

                          Still think he misses a game or 2. I interpret it as it's not long term or season ending.

                  2 years, 5 months ago

                  Honest question, start one:

                  A) Saka (lei)
                  B) Livra (wat)

                  1. FOO FIGHTER
                    • 4 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Livra.

                    Even has more points than Saka.

                    • 12 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Tough one tbh
                    Could be Livra based on the Arsenal home vs. away trend

                  3. Qaiss
                    • 8 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Saka. Attacker playing for a decent side > defender for a team in the bottom half.

                    People were saying to bench ESR on here last week. Plus Saka got quite unlucky not to score.

                  4. Honker Muddlefoot
                    • 5 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Maybe Livra, just, because Watford still feel like a team to target for me, but with Leicester’s defence this season, could honestly see both options returning this week for you. Good luck!

                  5. Alexis Nonsense
                    • 8 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Livra has done well for me, after a few solid points off the bench I decided to play him ahead of Semedo and Traoré this week

                    I think it's a 50/50

                    Livra clean sheet as likely as Saka return, Arsenal is not a top 6 club so far, with Leicester and West Ham looking much stronger

                  6. mojoindojo
                    • 10 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Saka for me.

                    • 13 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Saka by far.

                    He played well just unlucky not to get a return.

                    Livra's hype is very overblown. Southampton conceded 2 goals to Burnley. If he doesn't score that goal he gets 1 point.

                    • 6 Years
                    2 years, 5 months ago

                    Think we all need to accept Livra as a genuine 1st XI option now.

                  2 years ago I got Tielemans on wildcard and the guy did nothing for weeks in a row. I promised myself to never buy him again.

                  Today I am considering Raphinha (if injured) > Tielemans. What do you think of Tielemans as an FPL option today?

                    Great player, but I'm not completely convinced as an fpl option. I don't see him significantly outscoring someone like Kovacic or ESR whilst costing about 1m more

                    Lovely player, apparently Utd passed on him after his Leicester loan spell. Typical.

                                    It’s saying that he thinks he will get the boot, as we all do. There is no news and no inside information in that tweet.

                                First step has to be the final decision on Solskjær by the board. Internal talks still ongoing over how to handle the crisis.

                      Zidane is a really interesting shout, better long-term - United have a lot of similarities with Madrid and he could thrive there.

                  Honestly feel bad for OGS. These absolute frauds remain while another manager gets sacked. As if Conte will magically turn them into a top club.

                    He should not have had the job in the first place. The emotion of him being a former player and that winning run they had at the beginning of his tenure, blinded them a bit.

                    They have a squad capable now and they’ve looked like losing in every game this season, apart from the Leeds and Newcastle games.

                  On hearing of the Ronaldo signing, I posted on here that there were definitely too many prima donnas in that team for any manager to cope with. Not everyone agreed! Needs someone to come in who can handle it, with permission to drop the superstars if need be. Conte only viable starter. Zidane won't understand effort levels needed in Prem League.

                  Whilst Ole is clearly struggling tactically, the players should share the blame - they're largely all experienced players and hardly look like they're trying to make the best of the line ups - in the main they look selfish and lazy.

                    The players don't know where to go or where to be. That is a failing of the coach. Look how easily their shape gets mangled from an enemy attack. So much space down that left half space for almost all the goals vs Liverpool.

                    Shaw and Maguire have not been good. But they are not THAT bad.

                    Buck stops with manager. That is his job.
                    Look how good Shaw and Maguire were for England in summer compared to now.

                    United never seem to be building a team. Lots of big name players and then try and squeeze them in rather than seemingly having a plan.

                      Don't blame the players, they've been trying to do whatever he wants them to for so long now and never once have they played decent attacking football with good patterns of play and a defined style

                      All their success comes from counters and individual brilliance, I guess that's a style of play? But not good enough for a team that spends that much

                    Ramsdale
                    Dias Cancelo James Taa
                    Raphi Salah Mbuemo Bernando Silva
                    Antonio Lukaku Maupay
