Encouragement for Bowen and Antonio as United’s defence wobbles again

Double Gameweek 22 came to a conclusion on a night of contrasting fortunes for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

Wins for Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are analysed here from an FPL perspective in our latest Scout Notes piece.

DEFENCES ALL AT SEA

Nine goals were scored across Wednesday’s two Premier League fixtures and there could have been more/others besides that, with Opta’s expected goals (xG) metric suggesting we were done out of at least another two goals:

  • Brentford 2.53-1.98 Man Utd
  • Leicester 1.98-4.58 Spurs

For all bar Spurs, who had actually been in decent defensive nick during an admittedly easy recent run of games, Gameweek 22 was merely a continuation of some awful form at the back.

The fact that David de Gea (£5.2m) has made 35 stops (the most in the division) and picked up eight save points in Ralf Rangnick’s seven matches in charge, six of which have been against bottom-half teams, is a damning indictment of Manchester United’s rearguard.

The Spaniard was again forced to produce some heroics against Brentford, who themselves now have just one clean sheet in their last 17 league matches. Alvaro Fernandez (£4.5m) paid the price for his unconvincing displays between the posts and Jonas Lossl (£4.5m) took his place against the Red Devils.

As for Leicester, they have underwhelmed at the back all season and their clean sheet against Liverpool before New Year looks even more freakish now. Spurs could have been out of sight by half-time, with seven so-called ‘big chances’ falling the Lilywhites’ way in total.

If you’ve got Brighton and West Ham attackers left over from their recent Double Gameweeks, then their fixtures in Gameweek 23, against Leicester and United respectively, don’t look as bad as they first seem on paper.

MADDISON DELIVERS AGAIN – BUT SHIP MAY HAVE SAILED FOR NOW

Ten attacking returns and 64 points in seven matches represents a phenomenal run of form for James Maddison (£6.9m), who was on course for yet another double-digit haul before Steven Bergwijn‘s (£5.9m) late brace at the King Power Stadium.

Seven of those attacking returns have come against out-of-sorts defences in the shape of Newcastle, Watford and Southampton but the England international has also contributed against better backlines versus Spurs and City in that time, blanking against two more competent rearguards in the form of Villa and Liverpool.

He’ll need to keep that stellar form up against some of the division’s meanest defences in the coming weeks, while a likely blank in Gameweek 27 and the possibility of no doubles until Gameweek 33 (that will probably be the case if the Foxes keep progressing in the Europa Conference League) means that the Foxes’ assets aren’t going to be top transfer targets for many.

BRUNO FERNANDES: THE IMPERFECT ’10’

Above: The most popular captaincy choices among the top 10k in Gameweek 22 (from LiveFPL)

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) returned to fitness to belatedly play a part in Double Gameweek 22 but it was all for naught for the veteran striker, who cut a frustrated figure when being substituted in the 70th minute.

There was a 21-point difference between what he and Bruno Fernandes (£11.7m) served up in the Gameweek just gone, with his compatriot adding two assists to go with his brace against Aston Villa.

While fortune has played a part in his monster Gameweek 22 haul (his first goal against Villa, for instance), Fernandes has unquestionably looked all the better for Rangnick’s recent tactical tweak.

Abysmal at times as one of two ‘number 10s’ in Rangnick’s failed 4-2-2-2 experiment, Fernandes has been more at home playing on the left side of United’s three-man midfield, armed with a license to drift into more central areas – as he did when teeing up Mason Greenwood (£7.2m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.4m) for their goals.

“I think most of the top teams in Europe and also in England play in a 4-3-3. I think for him it’s better than being pinned to a number 10 position because then he can make himself available in different areas of the pitch, not only in the centre. For me, he is not a wing player but I think in this position, as an eight, he can find the spaces himself, he can sniff the moments in which areas we have to play the ball to him and he can make himself available. I think this position, as an eight, is almost perfect for him.” – Ralf Rangnick on Bruno Fernandes

A lack of form among United’s other attacking midfielders paved the way for budget FPL midfielder Anthony Elanga (£4.8m) to start twice in Gameweek 22 and it’ll be interesting to monitor his progress and game-time in the coming weeks to see if we have another Greenwood circa 2019/20 on our hands. The teenager nodded in United’s opener at Brentford, having been teed up by another bargain-bin United asset in good form, Fred (£4.9m).

The Brazilian, the ‘other’ number eight in Rangnick’s 4-3-3, has created more chances than everyone bar Fernandes among his teammates since the change in manager, despite effectively playing just four-and-a-half games.

KANE PROMINENT BUT STILL WASTEFUL

Harry Kane (£12.3m) loves facing Leicester and he really should have had a hatful on Wednesday, registering a whopping 10 efforts on goal. With an attempt cleared off the line, a header striking the bar and a one-on-one chance blazed over, Kane was profligate against the Foxes but nevertheless took his goal well and produced a fine assist for Bergwijn’s second strike.

Over the last six matches, Kane has scored on four occasions and compares very favourably to other Premier League players for a number of key stats:

MetricTotal (Rank v other PL players)
Goal attempts33 (1st)
Shots in the box21 (1st=)
Efforts on target12 (1st)
Big chances7 (2nd=)
Expected goal involvement5.90 (1st)

There should be more to come from Kane in terms of actual FPL returns, as he is the biggest underachiever among forwards this season when it comes to expected goals (xG) – and a man of his proven Premier League pedigree isn’t like to underperform for an extended period.

    Is Bruno back now?
    Brought him in last week just to keep Salah’s seat warm.

    Wondering if I should downgrade Kane and have Bruno and Salah. Hmm.

    So keep one long term. Bruno or Kane?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Kane.

    2. beric
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Kane or neither

    3. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I brought him in for a one week (double) punt with aim of moving onto KDB. Now I'm considering keeping until Salah is back

  2. Amans94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale (DDG)
    TAA, Cancelo, Davies (Dawson, Livramento*)
    Bowen, Jota, Trossard, Bernardo, Martinelli
    Ronaldo, King (Antonio)

    1FT and 5.8m ITB, quite stuck on what to do:

    a) Bernardo -> KDB / Sterling
    b) Dawson -> Laporte/Digne
    c) Save

    Any thoughts appreciated!

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

      B is the sensible option as it gives you a defender your happier playing this week.
      You can still captain Cancelo or Trent.

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Still trust Ronnie? Very expensive for a player not really offering a great deal.

      Guess leave him this week then swap for Kane next.

      Assuming you will want Salah back then an extra transfer could be useful in next 2 GW’s

    3. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Would downgrade Ronaldo and sort out midfield. Trossard & Bernard need to go.

  3. beric
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If the extra villa game is announced after the deadline, to be played in between 23 and 24, will it be DGW23 or DGW24?

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

      24

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        For certain?

        1. Miniboss
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Who knows, it’s chaos out there

          1. beric
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Eek

            Hope they announce it in time then.

        2. NorCal Villan
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I don’t think anyone can claim certainty for these sort of questions

        3. TheTinman
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          No as its never happened before.

          1. Salan
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Covid never happened before but happens now and is happening for 2 years.

          2. Salan
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            And, another FH given also never happened before.

  4. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Any ideas here lads with 1FT?

    Ramsdale
    Rudiger TAA Cancelo
    Bruno Martinelli Bowen Gray Jota
    Antonio Dennis CR7

    Sanchez - Antonio Johnson Livramento

    Cheers!

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

      1.7M ITB

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Gray to Raph/Coutinho?!

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Another option: Bunch of Rudiger blanks shortly, I would sort that. If you choose to just bench him, then move Livramento to a playing defender

      2. Not again Shirley
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I think Gray is one of those annoying players who, once you own, worry that if you sell they he will haul. Villa at home not the hardest game in the world this GW and with Rafa gone it could be a different Everton.

        1. No Kane No Gain
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Could be different everton with Gray on the bench!

          He doesn’t haul, and a waste of a spot. Will he get more than Raph this week?! No chance

          1. Not again Shirley
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Well to be fair I haven’t watched any Everton matches but when listening to commentaries and forums he is generally said to be the most attacking player they have. Would need an Everton fan to confirm that though I suppose.

          I dont think anyone's getting too much FOMO over Gray tbh

    3. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Replace Rudiger. Tot next then 3 upcoming blanks. You need a third starter. How do you feel about Laporte? Man City set and forget defenders.

  5. tricpic
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    So here’s a bumper FH edition of Rough with the Smooth. Anyone top this?

    Smooth
    Kane points
    Bruno points
    Kept Bowen

    Rough
    Ronaldo (c) and Bruno (vc)
    Mini league rivals had Kane (c) without even using FH
    Chelsea defensive double up
    Ditched Maddison when Leicester DGW was cancelled
    Missed the deadline to ditch Spurs and Watford assets when their DGW was cancelled
    Previous team (Cancelo, TAA) did better than FH team

    Shocker of a week

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Many who used FH did worse than their regular team. No need to sweat about that.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      How many pounts did you get? Or are you saving that for the sequel?

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I did Broja Salah & Son to Ronaldo (c), Moura & Maddison (who I benched after his first fixture was cancelled) for a -8 to get in a good captaincy option and three DGWers. Ended up with no more players playing twice, a captaincy blank, a doubling of my OR, and a 5m GW rank after netting just 41 points (49 minus 8)

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Now in this case I do have sympathy.
        Not like OP whos mentioning 3 players which got him 40 points or so and calls it a shocker of a week...

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years

      Ronaldo(C)
      Trent(VC)
      Robertson first sub (stayed on bench)
      Cancelo and KdB in original team

      1. jia you

        *No Bruno

  6. acidicleo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    So this GW was dictated by Bruno (c)...Congrats to those owners...

    I couldn't get him for Son as was on max United with Dalot.

    In a way I thank RR for his vague comments on CR7 pre deadline. Or else Bruno EO would have been significantly higher and damaging for us non owners.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I read those comments and came away thinking he wasn't a sure starter for that first gw. But then I had last minute FOMO and tried to bring him in. Fortunately I failed and it was Bruno jam on toast for breakfast.

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Whatee luck!

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Management. It is called good management.

          1. Neo-Viper
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            hahahahaha! Sure man!! I will give that to you!!

    2. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I decided to go for one week punt on Bruno as I had both salah and Son in my team. with all the uncertainty surrounding second matches for most playing teams United seemed the safest. I also expected Ronaldo no show in first match which solidified my choice. The captaincy again was based on security of starts. My other punt on Trossard wasn't as successful particularly as I benched Ramsey to start him!

  7. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio to Dennis worth a hit?

    DDG
    Digne Cancelo TAA
    Jota Foden Raphinha Bowen
    Ronaldo Watkins Antonio

    Steele; Martinelli Dawson Livramento

    1. Neo-Viper

      Nope. Hold.

  8. Stimps

    Why are people getting in Ait Nouri when Marcel is almost back?

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Marcal is playing in the 3 man defence whereas Ait Nouri is playing as a wing back. This is from just one game that I watched, I maybe wrong

        ^This is temporary to cover for Saiss during AFCON

        1. Neo-Viper
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I see! Thought it would be some tactical change for sure. Cheers.

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Marcal lost his place to Ait Nouri in GW9, just been filling in the last few weeks due to injury

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Latest fad

  9. Fpl_Ludwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A) Kane or Kdb? Leaning towards Kdb

    B) Ramsey (Aston villa) a good bench warmer?

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A) KDB is a focal point of attack now but Sterling is a good differential to have if you looking to climb ranks.
      B) I have had Ramsey in for Brownhill on my first wildcard and never been happier until last GW, because he was on bench and started Lamptey Gray instead

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A) KDB
      B) The best

    3. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Hes my 5th midfield slot and so gutted I benched him this week! Villa should have upcoming doubles so definitely worth investing in

  10. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Start Dennis or DCL?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Dennis

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

    Unless Villa dgw is announced,would you roll a FT here?
    Foster
    Cancelo Taa Laporte
    Bowen jota raphinha Foden gray
    Kane Antonio
    Ddg Toney Williams james*

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years

      Solid team. Rollover

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      First XI looks pretty good, bench terrible, so up to you if you think you need cover

  12. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is anybody else having a roller coaster of a start to the New Year ? My last 3 GW ranks have been my worst, best, and second worst of the season.

    GW20 30 points (-4) GWR 6,346,266
    GW21 95 points (-4) GWR 35,571
    GW22 49 point (-8) GWR 4,918,693

    A)Antonio
    B)Ramsey
    C)Gray
    D)Bowen

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years

      Ramsey

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years

        cheers.It's the logic but Antonio is out of form,Everton are so bad and Ramsey is good.

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Go for Gray

        2. Lord of Ings
          • 8 Years

          Yeah it’s a tough one,would consider benching gray over Ramsey but gotta start Antonio Bowen

    2. Not again Shirley

      Antonio

    3. AC Yew
      • 5 Years

      Gray

  14. Lord of Ings

    Would you start foster over ddg this week?

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Even if he concedes hes getting 4 points each week, what would it be if he gets a clean sheet...

      Watford def also not very convincing.

    2. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I was tempted, then thought Nah, it's Watford! Haha.

      Their keepers have a combined 51 points from 19 games, and not sure they've kept a clean sheet all season in the league?

      Could get lucky I guess

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd expect another 4 pointer from Dave. That'll do.

    Scariest thing this gameweek was seeing the size of rank moves. If one good week can move people 200-300% then it shows how easily one bad week can destroy us

    1. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      this is true, I had a 37% rise this week!

      only possible because im having a pretty bad season though and my rank is poor!

    2. Mr. O'Connell

      Don't think there were many huge red arrows. Scored 39 points and only got a -100% red. The difference was pretty much the captaincy.

    3. Vlad Tepes
      • 7 Years

      I have had both, huge swings this year.
      This GW I went from 30k to under top 10k because of Bruno(C).

      As someone who's jumped from 200k to top 50k over the past 2 GWs, I wonder if that kind of movement happens if Salah is there? Seems a lot less variance in scores when everyone is captaining the same player.

    5. DannyDrinkVodka

      -150% rank drop here vs an 80% rise due to a single bad (in retrospect) decision, insane variance

    Seeing Trossard in my team makes me want to delete it

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      Do it, it’s a wonderful feeling

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years

        Why you still here if you deleted your team?

    2. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Seeing his 3 points over Ramseys 12 who i benched to start him makes me sick to my stomach even more so as that move cost me points!

    Morning guys, what would you look to do here, 0.7m in the bank & 1FT? Maybe something like Rudiger > Digne & not take a hit this week.

    Lloris
    TAA - Cancelo - Rudiger
    Bowen - KDB - Bilva - Jota - Maddison
    CR7 - Dennis

    Bachmann - Lamptey - Broja - Coufal

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Agree no hit required, Rudiger priority out this week/next

    Couldn't afford Son to Bruno/KDB last week, so left him in and played Raphinha.

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Alonso
    Jota Raph Bowen Gray
    Ronaldo Antonio Dennis
    (Guaita Lowton Son Johnson)
    1ft 0.4itb

    A) Alonso to Laporte
    B) Son to Foden
    C) Son to Coutinho
    D) Son and Ronaldo to Bruno and Watkins (-4)
    E) Son and Dennis to Foden and Watkins (-4)
    F) Son and Johnson to Foden and Laporte (-4)

    As you can see, I'm pretty lost!!!

  26. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Son to Sterling FT? Have Foden and Dias already. Have 10.7 to spend. Or I could get Bruno -4

    Just had Bruno on FH and feel like I should reward him.

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah I really like Sterling for the next few weeks; he's my Son replacement too. Only 3% EO as well

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        You sure he starts?

        1. TopBinFC
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          This, not sure he starts? Jesus due to start one

          No I cant be sure but I think its highly likely on current form at least & I'm willing to give the ol' Pep Roulette a final twirl for the next 5GW or so. Then I aim to phase out any City mids for rest of season as rotation will get too much as they cruise to the title

    Save FT here right? 0.7 itb

    Anyone playing Fanteam?

    Got two teams in the money as we speak. Still hoping for a top 10 finish. It’s much better than FPL.

    Assuming no DGW23 then:

    Bilva >> Foden, and likely (C)

    Good plan? Or something else?

    Thanks

    1. TopBinFC
      • 2 Years

      Just posted similar below, I think it might be good move. Silva more defensive with KDB back in team.

    Bilva -> Foden, to sideways?

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Honestly, if you want to play Pep roulette then Foden has the best upside.
