THE FPL SCOUT - GAMEWEEK 12

FAVOURABLE FIXTURES:

Southampton & Chelsea look like the only safe bets this gameweek as they face Aston Villa & Westbrom respectively. Ronald Koeman's high flying side travel to Aston Villa who have managed just a point & a goal in the last seven Premier League fixtures. On the other hand, the league leaders(& still undefeated) Chelsea welcome Westbrom who have won just 3 matches this season, two of which were against teams in the relegation zone. Spurs, Liverpool & Stoke can also be expected to 

pick up three points against Hull, Palace & Burnley respectively. Arsenal vs United is the big match of the gameweek, one where you pick attackers & hesitate to pick defenders from either side.


BARGAIN BUYS:

Charlie Austin(5.8) is the most in form striker in the BPL at the moment. The QPR striker scored 4 goals in the last 3 matches, and looks like the man who's turning around the fortune for the R's. The Englishman looked in fine form against City, finding the back of the net thrice, two of which were disallowed. Another man who's playing a leading role in his team's rejuvenation(and who's set to face Austin this week) is Ayoze Perez. The Newcastle frontman has scored a goal each in the last 3 games for the magpies. With a price tag of a measly 4.9 & the form Newcastle are in, this guy is definitely one to consider. Clean sheet after clean sheet & still Southampton's Toby Alderweireld is still rated the same as his base price, at 5.0. The Belgian is likely to continue this run as they face goal shy Villans. However, a difficult run of fixtures after that is a concern.

TEAMS AND PLAYERS TO AVOID:

Stay clear of Aston Villa & Westbrom as they face the most difficult tasks this week. Players from Hull, Burnley, Leicester & Palace also come at certain risks. It would also be safe to avoid defenders from the Arsenal vs United  match.

David Silva, Alexander Kolarov, Marcos Rojo, Rafael, Blind, Falcao, Coloccini, Sturridge, Koscielny, Ozil & Mikel Arteta are the big names to remain out due to injury . Luke Shaw, Cesc Fabregas, Vincent Kompany are all doubtful. Kyle Naughton is suspended till 3 Dec but first choice Kyle Walker is not likely to be rushed into first team action after remaining out for a long period.


PLAYERS TO WATCH:

Sergio Aguero : The Argentine has scored 9 goals for City in the last 6 games & is the league's top scorer with 12 goals. As his price is increasing every week, those who haven't got him and can still afford him should seriously give it a thought before he becomes unaffordable. 

Diego Costa: The Chelsea forward & the second highest goalscorer in the league scored his first goal since recovering from injury in Chelsea's 2-1 victory over Liverpool. Expect him to be at the spearhead of all Chelsea's attacks as they play at home against Westbrom, who have conceded 8 goals in the last 5 matches.


OTHER TIPS: 

The extra transfer : Often, fantasy managers face the dilemma of making an extra transfer or saving the four points spent on it. As all of you might know, every extra transfer on FPL deducts 4 points from your gameweek score. The trick is to figure out if the extra transfer is worth it. The simplest way is to just compare the two players. Will the new man score four points more than the old one? If yes, go ahead. Also, there's the point that the deduction affects only your gameweek score in H2H leagues & not your total score in FPL.
