The Watchlist – Henrique Hilario
Filed under: Fantasy Football Tips, The Watchlist - Posted by: Sir Paulos
With Petr Cech expected to be absent from first-team duties for “three to four weeks” following the calf injury sustained in Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Inter Milan at the San Siro, the job between the posts for Carlo Ancelotti’s team will fall now to Henrique Hilario.
Chelsea are still fighting on three fronts for trophies and will be hoping Hilario can emulate the performances of Cech, who along with Jose Reina, has 12 clean sheets, the most of any Premiership keeper so far this season.
As this goalkeeper stats table shows, Cech has faced less than three shots on goal per game, the lowest of any keeper in the league, which is testimony to the performances of the Chelsea defence this season.
Taking his place behind the Chelsea back four, Hilario could now see a decent amount of fantasy investment, coming in at the bargain price of just £4.9m in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game. He will be plunged straight into Premier League action action this Saturday lunchtime, where the Blues host Man City in the weekend’s early kick-off…
However, the league leaders then miss the following gameweek due to FA Cup duties, but are currently looking at a double fixtures in gameweek 31, providing they beat Stoke at the first time of asking in the cup. Indeed, Chelsea’s next five gameweeks currently read MCY, (blank), WHM, bla & por, AVL, though the Portsmouth game will be the one that’s postponed if Stoke do indeed take them to a replay in the cup.
With Cech confirmed as absent for three to four weeks, it looks as though, at best, investors would get three, maybe four league starts from Hilario. That may still tempt some as a short-term investment, who could then hope for complications and a prolonged absence for Cech. The only doubt that will nag at potential investors is the effect that the absence of Cech will have on the Chelsea back four.
